A77753	A iustification of two points now in controversie with the Anabaptists concerning baptisme: the first is, that infants of Christians ought to be baptized, with grounds to prove it, and their objections answered. With a briefe answer to Master Tombes twelve doubtfull arguments against it in his exercitation about infants baptisme. Also a briefe answer to Captaine Hobsons five arguments in his falacy of infants baptisme, being (as he saith) that which should have beene disputed by him, and Mr. Knowles, and some others; against Mr. Calamy and Mr. Cranford. The second point is, that the sprinckling the baptized more agreeth with the minde of Christ then dipping or plunging in or under the water: with grounds to prove it, and a briefe auswer [sic] to what they have to say against it. / By T.B.

of_o they_o but_o of_o all_o thing_n else_o then_o the_o meaning_n be_v this_o they_o have_v such_o a_o holiness_n as_o the_o jew_n have_v to_o distinguish_v they_o from_o other_o nation_n to_o be_v of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n a_o holy_a nation_n so_o infant_n of_o christian_n be_v distinguish_v from_o turk_n and_o infidel_n to_o be_v of_o the_o visible_a church_n as_o well_o as_o the_o

say_v paul_n your_o child_n be_v holy_a it_o seem_v when_o either_o of_o they_o be_v convert_v the_o great_a question_n to_o the_o apostle_n be_v this_o whether_o their_o child_n have_v a_o right_a to_o the_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n and_o so_o to_o all_o other_o privilege_n of_o the_o christian_n church_n to_o this_o a_o secret_a answer_n be_v employ_v that_o they_o have_v a_o right_a to_o all_o the_o ordinance_n and_o privilege_n of_o the_o christian_n church_n for_o now_o say_v paul_n your_o child_n be_v holy_a that_o be_v they_o be_v distinguish_v now_o from_o heathen_n and_o

convert_v to_o the_o christian_n religion_n than_o the_o matter_n be_v out_o of_o question_n so_o that_o then_o they_o need_v not_o ask_v whether_o their_o child_n shall_v enjoy_v the_o privilege_n of_o the_o christian_n church_n this_o be_v the_o true_a genuine_a meaning_n of_o the_o text_n now_o let_v we_o see_v what_o truth_n be_v in_o master_n tomb_n interpretation_n of_o it_o say_v now_o they_o be_v legitimate_a now_o they_o be_v not_o bastard_n but_o can_v any_o rational_a man_n think_v this_o that_o if_o a_o man_n wife_n be_v convert_v to_o the_o christian_n religion_n that_o then_o she_o will_v come_v to_o the_o apostle_n to_o ask_v they_o whether_o or_o not_o their_o child_n be_v bastard_n can_v any_o man_n live_v tell_v that_o better_a than_o she_o herself_o if_o she_o be_v a_o whore_n than_o they_o be_v bastard_n but_o not_o else_o again_o they_o that_o be_v lawful_o marry_v before_o paul_n come_v among_o they_o and_o have_v child_n they_o be_v not_o bastard_n by_o

a_o justification_n of_o two_o point_n now_o in_o controversy_n with_o the_o anabaptist_n concern_v baptism_n the_o first_o be_v that_o infant_n of_o christian_n ought_v to_o be_v baptise_a with_o

and_o mr._n knowles_n and_o some_o other_o against_o mr._n calamy_n and_o mr._n cranford_n the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o the_o sprinkle_v the_o baptise_a more_o agree_v with_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n then_o dip_v or_o plunge_v in_o or_o under_o the_o water_n with_o ground_n to_o prove_v it_o and_o a_o brief_a answer_n to_o what_o they_o have_v to_o say_v against_o it_o by_o t._n b._n

to_o be_v do_v but_o christ_n command_v to_o baptise_v all_o nation_n whereof_o infant_n be_v a_o part_n mat._n 28.19_o and_o the_o apostle_n baptise_a whole_a household_n whereof_o infant_n be_v a_o
