A84133	The Anabaptists ground-work for reformation: or, New planting of churches, that no man, woman, nor child, may be baptized, but such as have justifying faith, and doe make profession thereof, before, to the baptizer, found false, with all things depending thereon. As being contrary to the Scriptures, and to the examples of Christ and his Apostles, ... Proved by severall arguments. Whereunto one T.L. a principall baptizer, (and apostle in their account) hath given his answers. Unto which answers, replies are also made by I.E. and some arguments annexed, proving, that the children of all such beleevers as were baptized, and so received into the Church, might be baptized, and received also. With a brief declaration what the true reformation is, and shal be, farre above these Anabaptists, and all such carnall builders conceits. And who the two witnesses of God are, by whom chiefly it is to be performed. Imprimatut [sic].

as_o moses_n be_v in_o his_o and_o as_o gracious_a to_o little_a child_n as_o he_o then_o it_o be_v a_o lawful_a and_o requisite_a thing_n now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o little_a child_n to_o be_v receive_v into_o the_o outward_a state_n of_o the_o church_n and_o so_o be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o heathen_a and_o unbaptise_v but_o it_o be_v a_o lawful_a and_o requisite_a

the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o second_o argument_n if_o the_o last_o thing_n that_o can_v and_o do_v distinguish_v little_a child_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n from_o the_o heathen_a and_o uncircumcised_a be_v the_o circumcision_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o that_o they_o be_v to_o have_v it_o and_o that_o the_o least_o thing_n that_o little_a child_n can_v have_v now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o distinguish_v they_o from_o the_o heathen_a and_o unbaptise_v be_v outward_a baptism_n then_o they_o be_v to_o have_v it_o as_o well_o as_o they_o be_v to_o have_v the_o other_o but_o the_o least_o thing_n that_o be_v then_o to_o distinguish_v little_a child_n from_o the_o heathen_a and_o uncircumcised_a be_v the_o circumcision_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o least_o thing_n that_o can_v now_o distinguish_v a_o little_a child_n from_o the_o heathen_a and_o unbaptise_v be_v outward_a baptism_n therefore_o as_o they_o be_v then_o to_o have_v that_o so_o they_o be_v now_o to_o have_v this_o the_o three_o argument_n if_o the_o child_n of_o the_o gentile_n that_o become_v proselyte_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n be_v circumcise_v and_o receive_v into_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v and_o may_v lawful_o be_v circumcise_v and_o receive_v also_o with_o their_o parent_n and_o so_o from_o generation_n to_o generation_n all_o one_o with_o

child_n therefore_o it_o may_v lawful_o be_v so_o now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n with_o we_o gentile_a christian_n and_o our_o child_n the_o four_o argument_n if_o outward_a baptism_n do_v as_o well_o as_o outward_a circumcision_n do_v set_v forth_o and_o signify_v the_o circumcision_n of_o christ_n make_v without_o hand_n the_o circumcision_n of_o the_o heart_n in_o the_o put_n off_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o flesh_n by_o the_o same_o circumcision_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o little_a child_n be_v to_o receive_v that_o sign_n the_o outward_a circumcision_n then_o little_a child_n be_v to_o have_v this_o sign_n outward_a baptism_n it_o be_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o same_o circumcision_n of_o the_o heart_n make_v without_o hand_n but_o outward_a baptism_n do_v as_o well_o as_o outward_a circumcision_n do_v set_v forth_o and_o signify_v the_o circumcision_n of_o christ_n that_o of_o the_o heart_n make_v without_o hand_n in_o the_o put_n off_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o flesh_n by_o the_o same_o circumcision_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n do_v plain_o declare_v coloss_n 2.11_o 12_o 13._o where_o he_o give_v unto_o the_o circumcision_n of_o the_o heart_n which_o he_o call_v the_o circumcision_n of_o christ_n the_o name_n baptism_n as_o it_o former_o have_v the_o name_n of_o circumcision_n make_v baptism_n and_o circumcision_n both_o one_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o thing_n signify_v therefore_o as_o little_a child_n be_v to_o have_v that_o sign_n so_o they_o be_v to_o have_v this_o the_o circumcision_n of_o the_o heart_n be_v the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n which_o god_n make_v with_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n of_o which_o seed_n all_o the_o faithful_a gentile_n be_v part_n as_o paul_n declare_v rom._n 4.11_o 12_o 13_o 14_o 15_o 16_o etc._n etc._n the_o five_o argument_n if_o christ_n do_v receive_v little_a child_n when_o they_o bring_v they_o unto_o he_o and_o take_v they_o in_o his_o arm_n and_o bless_v they_o and_o that_o this_o be_v a_o great_a thing_n then_o outward_a baptism_n and_o he_o esteem_v they_o meet_v for_o the_o same_o because_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v of_o
