A86328	The foundation of the font discovered to the view of all that desire to behold it. And, the baptizing of men and women when they believe (in rivers and fountains) proved to be a standing ordinance in the Church of Cchrist to the end of the world; by plain Scripture-proof. In answer to Mr. Cook's Font uncovered, for infant-baptism; and Mr. Baxter's Plain Scripture-proof for infants church-membership and baptism. With a word sometimes upon occasion to Mr. Hall's Font-guarded; which is more fully answered by Thomas Collyer. By Henry Haggar, a servant of Christ, and the congregations of his saints.

general_a in_o they_o but_o also_o such_o word_n as_o speak_v to_o every_o saint_n in_o christ_n and_o member_n in_o particular_a as_o the_o word_n all_o the_o saint_n every_n saint_n in_o christ_n and_o every_o one_o of_o you_o and_o every_o branch_n in_o i_o etc._n etc._n but_o for_o example_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o one_o probable_a argument_n from_o mat._n 18.15_o 16_o 17._o in_o these_o word_n if_o thy_o brother_n sin_n against_o thou_o go_v and_o tell_v he_o his_o fault_n between_o thou_o and_o he_o alone_o if_o he_o shall_v hear_v thou_o thou_o have_v gain_v thy_o brother_n if_o not_o then_o take_v with_o thou_o one_o or_o two_o more_o that_o in_o the_o mouth_n of_o two_o or_o three_o witness_n every_o word_n may_v be_v establish_v and_o if_o he_o shall_v neglect_v to_o hear_v they_o tell_v it_o to_o the_o church_n and_o if_o he_o neglect_v to_o hear_v the_o church_n let_v he_o be_v to_o thou_o a_o heathen_a man_n and_o a_o publican_n from_o all_o which_o i_o argue_v thus_o first_o if_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o church-member_n to_o watch_v over_o one_o another_o and_o proceed_v in_o order_n according_a to_o this_o rule_n than_o they_o must_v be_v such_o as_o understand_v this_o rule_n but_o little_a babe_n of_o 8_o day_n week_n or_o month_n old_a can_v understand_v this_o rule_n therefore_o they_o can_v be_v visible_a church-member_n second_o if_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o church-member_n to_o tell_v one_o another_o of_o their_o fault_n than_o they_o must_v be_v such_o as_o can_v both_o speak_v and_o judge_v what_o a_o fault_n be_v or_o else_o how_o can_v they_o tell_v one_o another_o of_o their_o fault_n but_o little_a babe_n can_v neither_o speak_v nor_o judge_v in_o such_o case_n therefore_o they_o can_v be_v church-member_n three_o if_o the_o fault_n of_o particular_a member_n in_o such_o case_n may_v and_o must_v be_v bring_v before_o the_o whole_a church_n for_o they_o to_o hear_v and_o judge_v then_o the_o whole_a church_n ought_v to_o be_v such_o as_o can_v judge_v and_o likewise_o declare_v their_o mind_n but_o little_a infant_n be_v not_o such_o therefore_o no_o visible_a church-member_n but_o it_o may_v be_v the_o objection_n against_o all_o this_o will_v be_v that_o this_o rule_n do_v not_o reach_v or_o concern_v all_o church-member_n because_o the_o word_n all_o or_o every_o one_o or_o whole_a church_n be_v not_o find_v in_o the_o text_n but_o i_o shall_v leave_v it_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o wise_a that_o fear_n god_n and_o be_v worshipper_n of_o he_o in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n many_o more_o such_o argument_n as_o this_o may_v be_v bring_v of_o which_o the_o time_n will_v fail_v to_o relate_v therefore_o i_o shall_v omit_v they_o and_o proceed_v to_o prove_v in_o opposition_n to_o mr._n baxter_n and_o mr._n cook_n other_o argument_n that_o little_a child_n that_o can_v speak_v word_n nor_o understand_v the_o gospel_n if_o they_o hear_v it_o be_v not_o nor_o can_v be_v christ_n disciple_n argument_n i._n my_o first_o argument_n be_v from_o mat_n 28.19_o in_o these_o word_n go_v you_o therefore_o and_o teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n the_o plain_a english_a of_o which_o mr._n baxter_n himself_o confess_v to_o be_v go_v make_v disciciple_n baptise_v they_o etc._n etc._n from_o whence_o i_o argue_v thus_o if_o those_o disciple_n which_o christ_n command_v the_o apostle_n to_o baptize_v must_v be_v first_o make_v so_o than_o they_o be_v not_o so_o bear_v if_o they_o have_v they_o shall_v not_o have_v need_n to_o be_v make_v so_o again_o the_o word_n say_v teach_v all_o nation_n or_o make_v disciple_n say_v mr_n baxter_n whence_o i_o argue_v thus_o if_o make_v disciple_n all_o nation_n and_o teach_v all_o nation_n be_v all_o one_o as_o mr._n baxter_n affirm_v then_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o disciple_n be_v make_v by_o preach_v the_o word_n but_o infant_n that_o can_v speak_v word_n nor_o understand_v earthly_a thing_n if_o we_o tell_v they_o can_v much_o less_o understand_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n declare_v by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n therefore_o here_o mr._n baxter_n and_o i_o must_v have_v some_o discourse_n before_o we_o part_v a_o for_o he_o tell_v we_o of_o divers_a way_n to_o make_v disciple_n beside_o teach_v of_o they_o which_o in_o plain_a term_n be_v to_o say_v there_o be_v divers_a way_n to_o make_v scholar_n beside_o or_o without_o teach_v of_o they_o which_o to_o i_o be_v a_o paradox_n again_o mr._n baxter_n be_v very_o willing_a to_o prove_v infant_n disciple_n say_v page_n 22._o line_n 1_o 2_o 3._o that_o its_o enough_o to_o make_v they_o disciple_n that_o they_o be_v devote_v to_o learning_n if_o they_o live_v and_o that_o they_o be_v consecrate_v to_o christ_n as_o their_o master_n who_o can_v teach_v they_o hereafter_o so_o that_o he_o will_v prove_v they_o disciple_n or_o scholar_n first_o and_o have_v they_o teach_v afterward_o strange_a doctrine_n and_o unheard-of_a divinity_n the_o which_o lest_o any_o shall_v object_v against_o he_o stout_o back_n with_o a_o learned_a argument_n as_o he_o will_v have_v it_o thus_o be_v it_o not_o a_o common_a thing_n to_o call_v the_o whole_a nation_n of_o turk_n mahometan_n old_a and_o young_a why_o then_o may_v we_o not_o call_v ourselves_o and_o our_o child_n disciple_n of_o christ_n and_o then_o he_o tell_v we_o another_o story_n of_o a_o man_n that_o hire_v a_o philosopher_n to_o teach_v he_o and_o all_o his_o child_n and_o be_v they_o not_o all_o then_o disciple_n of_o that_o philosopher_n answ_n but_o be_v this_o mr._n baxter_n plain_a scripture-proof_n that_o he_o tell_v we_o of_o in_o the_o

and_o zeal_n for_o truth_n as_o mr._n baxter_n do_v in_o his_o first_o chap._n page_z 2_o shall_v so_o turn_v aside_o his_o ear_n from_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n unto_o such_o

and_o think_v i_o can_v answer_v such_o learned_a question_n suppose_v i_o shall_v grant_v that_o little_a child_n as_o soon_o as_o they_o go_v to_o school_n and_o begin_v to_o learn_v their_o letter_n be_v scholar_n do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o they_o be_v then_o fit_a to_o learn_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n and_o be_v immediate_o nay_o long_a before_o that_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n i_o think_v not_o for_o the_o lord_n christ_n say_v john_n 2.12_o if_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o earthly_a thing_n and_o you_o believe_v they_o not_o how_o shall_v you_o believe_v if_o i_o tell_v you_o heavenly_a but_o such_o child_n that_o go_v new_o to_o school_n to_o learn_v their_o letter_n you_o may_v tell_v they_o of_o many_o earthly_a thing_n that_o they_o can_v understand_v nor_o believe_v at_o all_o again_o what_o if_o we_o grant_v mr._n baxter_n that_o little_a child_n be_v scholar_n the_o first_o day_n they_o be_v send_v to_o school_n and_o have_v learn_v but_o the_o first_o letter_n this_o will_v make_v nothing_o for_o his_o purpose_n for_o do_v we_o ever_o know_v any_o man_n so_o idle_a and_o foolish_a and_o void_a of_o understanding_n as_o to_o send_v his_o child_n to_o school_n to_o learn_v its_o letter_n before_o it_o can_v speak_v or_o understand_v will_v not_o mr._n baxter_n himself_o say_v such_o a_o man_n be_v void_a of_o reason_n but_o mr._n baxter_n do_v affirn_v such_o to_o be_v disciple_n of_o christ_n and_o will_v have_v they_o send_v to_o chrit_n school_n but_o if_o this_o be_v equity_n or_o godly_a wisdom_n let_v the_o godly_a
