A47391	The ax laid to the root, or, One blow more at the foundation of infant baptism, and church-membership. Part I containing an exposition of that metaphorical text of Holy Scripture, Mat. 3. 10. : being the substance of two sermons lately preached, with some additions, wherein is shewed that God made a two-fold covenant with Abraham, and that circumcision appertained not to the covenant of grace, but to the legal and external covenant God made with Abraham's natural seed, as such : together with an answer to Mr. John Flavel's last grand arguments in his Vindiciarum Vindex, in his last reply to Mr. Philip Cary, also to Mr. Rothwell's Pædo-baptisms vindicatur, as to what seems most material / by Benjamin Keach ...	Keach, Benjamin, 1640-1704.; Rothwell, Edward, d. 1731. Paedobaptismus vindicatus.	1693 (1693)	Wing K47; ESTC R39052	37,123	40

that_o mr._n roth-well_a of_o sussex_n in_o his_o late_a treatise_n still_o insist_o on_o this_o argument_n you_o have_v the_o same_o in_o my_o answer_n to_o mr._n burket_n to_o this_o i_o may_v add_v a_o word_n or_o two_o of_o a_o reverend_n and_o learned_a person_n of_o our_o persuasion_n in_o this_o matter_n they_o suppose_v baptism_n come_v in_o or_o succeed_v in_o the_o place_n or_o room_n of_o circumcision_n which_o may_v say_v he_o be_v understand_v many_o way_n as_o first_o that_o those_o person_n may_v be_v baptise_a that_o be_v heretofore_o circumcise_a by_o god_n appointment_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n the_o argument_n must_v proceed_v if_o it_o conclude_v to_o the_o purpose_n but_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v false_a for_o female_n be_v not_o circumcise_a which_o yet_o be_v baptise_a act._n 8._o 12_o 13_o 14._o and_o chap._n 16._o 14_o 15._o and_o believer_n out_o of_o abraham_n house_n as_o lot_z melchisedec_n job_n be_v not_o to_o be_v circumcise_a but_o believe_v gentile_n be_v universal_o to_o be_v baptise_a 2._o say_v he_o it_o may_v be_v understand_v as_o if_o the_o rite_n of_o baptism_n than_o begin_v when_o the_o rite_n of_o circumcision_n do_v or_o be_v to_o end_v but_o this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v say_v neither_o for_o john_n baptist_n and_o christ_n disciple_n baptise_a before_o circumcision_n of_o right_a cease_v joh._n 4._o 1._o 2._o 3._o he_o answer_v that_o of_o baptism_n succeed_v in_o the_o place_n of_o circumcision_n in_o signification_n which_o as_o we_o have_v show_v in_o several_a respect_n it_o do_v not_o but_o second_o as_o i_o say_v if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o parity_n or_o parallel_v between_o circumcision_n and_o baptism_n as_o they_o intimate_v yet_o it_o will_v not_o do_v their_o business_n but_o thus_o to_o argue_v as_o the_o say_v learned_a writer_n observe_v may_v be_v very_o pernicious_a for_o say_v he_o indeed_o if_o this_o argument_n be_v not_o wary_o and_o restrain_o understand_v a_o egg_n be_v lay_v out_o of_o which_o manifest_a judaisme_n may_v be_v hatch_v but_o if_o it_o be_v take_v restrain_o it_o no_o more_o follow_v thence_o but_o baptism_n and_o circumcision_n in_o some_o thing_n hold_v forth_o the_o same_o which_o be_v more_o plain_o say_v of_o noah_n ark_n 1._o pet._n 3._o 22._o and_o the_o red_a sea_n and_o cloud_n 1._o cor._n 10._o 4._o and_o yet_o we_o do_v not_o say_v baptism_n succeed_v into_o their_o place_n much_o less_o do_v we_o infer_v any_o rite_n to_o be_v institute_v in_o their_o stead_n respect_v the_o same_o person_n yea_o very_o it_o be_v to_o be_v serious_o think_v on_o 1._o that_o by_o such_o argument_n draw_v from_o analogy_n not_o conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o draw_v out_o of_o our_o wit_n a_o new_a kind_n of_o institute_v rite_n to_o wit_n from_o analogy_n be_v bring_v in_o beside_o our_o lord_n precept_n and_o the_o apostle_n example_n 2._o this_o be_v once_o say_v by_o a_o like_a parity_n of_o reason_n and_o argue_n it_o will_v be_v lawful_a to_o bring_v into_o the_o church_n under_o other_o name_n and_o form_n the_o whole_a burden_n of_o jewish_a rite_n yea_o almost_o out_o of_o what_o you_o will_v to_o conclude_v what_o you_o will_v for_o who_o shall_v put_v a_o bind_v to_o man_n feign_a analogy_n when_o they_o go_v beyond_o the_o lord_n precept_n and_o the_o apostle_n example_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o the_o divine_a appointment_n of_o tithe_n to_o be_v pay_v and_o many_o other_o thing_n in_o the_o write_n of_o divine_n be_v assert_v by_o this_o kind_n of_o argument_n beside_o the_o rule_n of_o christ_n precept_n and_o his_o apostle_n example_n 3._o hereby_o will_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o papist_n be_v confirm_v who_o affirm_v from_o 1._o cor._n 10._o 11._o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o jew_n to_o be_v type_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o christian_n which_o be_v reject_v by_o divine_n that_o dispute_n against_o bellarmine_n 4._o this_o manner_n of_o argue_v will_v countenance_v the_o argument_n of_o the_o papist_n for_o a_o universal_a bishop_n because_o the_o jew_n have_v a_o highpriest_n and_o justify_v a_o linen_n garment_n at_o mass_n because_o there_o be_v such_o among_o the_o jew_n and_o for_o holy-water_n purification_n of_o woman_n easter_n pentecost_n and_o many_o more_o such_o ceremony_n for_o which_o the_o papist_n do_v in_o like_a manner_n argue_v as_o appear_v out_o of_o durandus_n rational_n and_o other_o interpreter_n yea_o what_o hinder_v but_o we_o may_v give_v child_n the_o lord's-supper_n if_o we_o argue_v this_o way_n since_o samuel_n jesus_n christ_n under_o age_n be_v partaker_n of_o the_o passover_n and_o of_o right_a all_o male_n be_v thrice_o in_o the_o year_n to_o appear_v before_o the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v certain_a they_o do_v eat_v the_o passover_n etc._n etc._n lest_o any_o shall_v take_v this_o for_o a_o light_a suggestion_n i_o will_v add_v that_o grave_n godly_a and_o learned_a man_n have_v often_o warn_v that_o we_o be_v to_o take_v heed_n that_o we_o do_v not_o rash_o frame_v argument_n from_o analogy_n among_o other_o in_o their_o learned_a write_n in_o english_a john_n pagit_n in_o his_o defence_n of_o
