A94166	A Christian, sober & plain exercitation on the two grand practicall controversies of these times; infant baptism and singing of psalms Wherein all the scriptures on both sides are recited, opened and argued, with brevity and tenderness: and whatever hath been largely discussed by others, briefly contracted in a special method for the edification of the saints. By Cuthbert Sidenham, teacher to a church of Christ in Newcastle upon Tine.	Sydenham, Cuthbert, 1622-1654.	1653 (1653)	Wing S6291; Thomason E1443_1; ESTC R209635	113,076	235

hurt_n though_o they_o plunge_v themselves_o into_o the_o water_n in_o frost_n and_o snow_n but_o it_o be_v dangerous_a to_o tempt_v god_n out_o of_o his_o ordinary_a way_n of_o preservation_n when_o

then_o what_o shall_v hinder_v water_n that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v baptize_v suppose_v they_o be_v sick_a and_o weak_a suppose_v the_o season_n be_v unsuitable_a and_o yet_o the_o soul_n desire_v

and_o if_o the_o apostle_n will_v have_v woman_n to_o be_v veil_v or_o cover_v in_o the_o congregation_n because_o of_o the_o angel_n take_v it_o either_o literal_o or_o tropical_o to_o show_v the_o modesty_n of_o church-assembly_n and_o to_o prevent_v any_o shadow_n of_o temptation_n how_o can_v we_o think_v that_o it_o be_v suitable_a to_o apostolical_a rule_n that_o woman_n shall_v appear_v in_o the_o open_a air_n out_o of_o their_o wont_a habit_n in_o a_o garment_n next_o to_o nakedness_n and_o so_o be_v plunge_v into_o water_n but_o i_o be_o loath_a to_o enter_v into_o these_o secret_n i_o only_o propound_v this_o whether_o or_o no_o that_o this_o baptism_n by_o plunge_v be_v not_o rather_o a_o baptise_v of_o man_n clothes_n and_o upper_a garment_n then_o of_o the_o body_n if_o the_o person_n baptize_v be_v not_o naked_a and_o if_o he_o or_o she_o be_v how_o odious_a a_o custom_n will_v that_o be_v i_o can_v but_o think_v that_o that_o part_n that_o be_v baptize_v aught_o to_o be_v naked_a that_o the_o water_n may_v immediate_o fall_v on_o that_o place_n else_o something_o else_o must_v be_v baptize_v primary_o and_o the_o flesh_n secondary_o and_o by_o consequence_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o we_o only_o pour_v water_n on_o the_o face_n because_o it_o be_v the_o principall_a part_n wherein_o the_o image_n of_o god_n most_o appear_v and_o the_o soul_n shine_v forth_o most_o eminent_o on_o which_o all_o the_o working_n of_o man_n humour_n and_o affection_n leave_v the_o visibl_a impression_n and_o symptom_n and_o it_o be_v observable_a that_o the_o same_o word_n in_o the_o greek_a 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d signify_v both_o the_o face_n and_o the_o person_n because_o the_o whole_a person_n be_v represent_v by_o the_o face_n and_o thus_o we_o baptize_v the_o person_n in_o baptise_v his_o face_n which_o we_o can_v look_v on_o and_o wash_v naked_a and_o not_o be_v ashamed_a let_v these_o man_n that_o be_v so_o zealous_a for_o dip_v and_o

of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o highpriest_n as_o any_o one_o that_o run_v may_v read_v now_o either_o they_o must_v say_v these_o be_v not_o baptize_v before_o or_o else_o must_v conclude_v that_o his_o

come_v with_o scandal_n of_o external_a unholiness_n when_o we_o pretend_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o christ_n blood_n four_o the_o usual_a word_n be_v here_o leave_v out_o which_o express_v that_o

to_o be_v excerpt_v when_o aaron_n the_o high-priest_n be_v to_o enter_v into_o the_o holy_a place_n and_o before_o he_o be_v to_o be_v attire_v for_o that_o work_n it_o be_v say_v he_o shall_v wash_v

the_o holiness_n he_o shall_v have_v in_o his_o person_n as_o from_o external_a public_a pollution_n the_o very_a same_o intent_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v here_o that_o if_o we_o will_v be_v

we_o will_v follow_v their_o ground_n from_o compare_v these_o two_o place_n we_o may_v conclude_v that_o baptism_n be_v as_o much_o a_o ordinance_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n as_o the_o new_a for_o wash_v the_o body_n be_v use_v in_o both_o five_o it_o be_v a_o usual_a phrase_n in_o scripture_n to_o express_v the_o sanctification_n of_o our_o person_n from_o inward_a &_o outward_a defilement_n by_o the_o wash_n of_o water_n and_o wash_v the_o body_n &_o yet_o not_o in_o the_o least_o to_o hint_n out_o the_o manner_n of_o baptise_v by_o water_n as_o into_o the_o special_a administration_n of_o that_o ordinance_n thus_o in_o esa_n 1.16_o when_o god_n say_v to_o his_o backslide_a people_n wash_v you_o make_v you_o clean_o must_v he_o needs_o mean_a go_v and_o be_v baptize_v but_o that_o outward_a expression_n be_v put_v for_o the_o reform_n of_o their_o way_n and_o expound_v by_o put_v away_o the_o evil_a from_o their_o do_n or_o work_n thus_o in_o joh._n 13._o christ_n express_v justification_n and_o sanctification_n by_o wash_v in_o general_a and_o then_o wash_v the_o foot_n he_o that_o be_v wash_v which_o be_v not_o baptize_v for_o christ_n say_v he_o must_v wash_v or_o else_o peter_n can_v have_v no_o part_n in_o he_o and_o christ_n do_v not_o baptize_v such_o a_o one_o need_n no_o more_o but_o to_o wash_v his_o foot_n that_o be_v walk_v holy_o so_o that_o here_o be_v wash_v and_o wash_v of_o the_o foot_n and_o yet_o neither_o mean_v of_o baptise_v nor_o wash_v thus_o likewise_o in_o the_o corinthian_n it_o be_v say_v as_o to_o their_o sanctification_n now_o you_o be_v wash_v now_o you_o be_v cleanse_v now_o you_o be_v justify_v he_o mean_v not_o now_o you_o be_v baptize_v but_o of_o the_o special_a purification_n of_o their_o heart_n and_o life_n from_o their_o former_a pollution_n of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n which_o though_o signify_v by_o baptism_n yet_o so_o remote_o as_o no_o man_n can_v gather_v the_o constant_a method_n of_o external_a

they_o be_v right_o baptize_v if_o there_o be_v any_o mud_n or_o slime_n or_o filth_n in_o the_o water_n as_o whether_o we_o baptize_v if_o all_o our_o body_n be_v not_o wash_v but_o now_o this_o expression_n to_o set_v forth_o holiness_n and_o sanctification_n be_v most_o apt_a and_o full_a of_o life_n our_o heart_n and_o conversation_n in_o draw_v nigh_o unto_o god_n shall_v be_v as_o if_o external_o they_o be_v wash_v with_o clean_a water_n transparent_a and_o spotless_a before_o he_o shine_v with_o a_o evangelical_n brightness_n and_o spiritual_a purity_n for_o it_o will_v be_v very_o

for_o if_o they_o be_v not_o scripture_n they_o can_v bind_v conscience_n and_o to_o what_o end_n be_v preach_v but_o to_o open_v and_o apply_v scripture_n 6._o the_o search_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o most_o useless_a undertake_n that_o can_v be_v imagine_v for_o what_o need_n i_o search_v but_o read_v for_o no_o consequence_n by_o comparison_n of_o scripture_n be_v of_o authority_n to_o satisfy_v my_o conscience_n if_o i_o draw_v a_o conclusion_n from_o a_o text_n and_o perceive_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o to_o be_v thus_o if_o nothing_o without_o it_o be_v lay_v down_o in_o so_o many_o syllable_n how_o many_o such_o strange_a absurdity_n will_v follow_v the_o deny_v consequence_n from_o scripture_n which_o be_v pure_o deduct_v and_o by_o this_o principle_n that_o where_o there_o be_v not_o so_o many_o letter_n put_v together_o in_o one_o sentence_n there_o be_v no_o command_n man_n will_v soon_o draw_v religion_n into_o a_o very_a narrow_a compass_n 7._o this_o will_v be_v as_o much_o against_o themselves_o for_o first_o they_o have_v no_o command_n in_o so_o many_o word_n go_v and_o baptize_v actual_a or_o visible_a believer_n if_o they_o say_v such_o be_v baptize_v it_o be_v answer_v that_o be_v not_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o it_o be_v a_o verbal_a command_n require_v by_o they_o to_o give_v warrant_n to_o a_o ordinance_n second_o that_o they_o must_v prove_v by_o consequence_n also_o believer_n be_v baptize_v ergo_fw-la there_o be_v a_o command_n neither_o three_o can_v they_o prove_v one_o act_n concern_v their_o own_o form_n of_o baptise_v by_o any_o command_n but_o by_o consequence_n when_o they_o say_v infant_n be_v not_o to_o be_v baptize_v they_o draw_v it_o from_o consequence_n thus_o because_o there_o be_v no_o command_n in_o their_o sense_n when_o they_o affirm_v the_o covenant_n be_v not_o make_v with_o believer_n now_o and_o their_o seed_n as_o with_o abraham_n it_o be_v draw_v by_o consequence_n because_o say_v they_o abraham_n be_v no_o natural_a father_n to_o we_o as_o to_o the_o jew_n and_o because_o that_o covenant_n be_v a_o mix_a covenant_n etc._n etc._n when_o they_o come_v to_o prove_v baptise_v to_o be_v by_o plunge_v they_o argue_v by_o consequence_n because_o the_o word_n signify_v it_o because_o they_o go_v where_o much_o water_n be_v and_o go_v down_o into_o the_o water_n etc._n etc._n though_o they_o be_v mistake_v in_o all_o their_o consequence_n as_o i_o shall_v hereafter_o show_v yet_o this_o be_v full_a ad_fw-la hominem_fw-la and_o against_o themselves_o who_o deny_v consequence_n to_o warrant_v institution_n and_o yet_o have_v nothing_o for_o to_o prove_v their_o own_o way_n but_o what_o be_v by_o consequence_n from_o scripture_n 8._o it_o be_v common_a among_o the_o apostle_n to_o argue_v in_o such_o a_o method_n and_o to_o deduce_v one_o thing_n from_o another_o to_o make_v out_o what_o they_o intend_v 2_o cor._n 5.14_o we_o thus_o judge_v if_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o than_o all_o be_v dead_a if_o the_o first_o be_v true_a than_o the_o latter_a so_o 1_o cor._n 15.13_o 14_o 15_o 16_o 17_o 18_o 19_o 20._o and_o all_o that_o chapter_n argue_v out_o the_o resurrection_n by_o fit_a medium_n so_o about_o the_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n act_v 10.47_o can_v any_o man_n forbid_v water_n why_o these_o shall_v not_o be_v baptize_v who_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o well_o as_o we_o there_o be_v never_o any_o command_n to_o baptize_v these_o that_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n nor_o any_o example_n of_o any_o baptize_v on_o these_o term_n but_o the_o apostle_n argue_v from_o the_o equivalency_n of_o the_o mercy_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o state_n they_o be_v in_o the_o same_o method_n he_o use_v 1_o cor._n 10.15_o 16_o 17_o 18._o 1_o tim._n 5.17_o 18._o 9_o there_o will_v be_v hardly_o find_v a_o definition_n of_o the_o most_o doctrinal_a and_o high_a mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o by_o compare_v scripture_n with_o scripture_n and_o so_o make_v it_o forth_o by_o consequence_n what_o perfect_a definition_n of_o justification_n or_o of_o justify_v faith_n in_o so_o many_o formal_a expression_n in_o all_o the_o n._n t._n but_o what_o must_v be_v deduct_v by_o compare_v scripture_n together_o to_o make_v one_o result_n where_o be_v woman_n either_o by_o such_o a_o wordy_a expression_n command_v to_o receive_v the_o lord_n supper_n or_o any_o example_n if_o they_o say_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d signify_v both_o sex_n yet_o it_o be_v still_o by_o consequence_n no_o command_n or_o example_n and_o why_o not_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d as_o fit_v to_o signify_v infant-saint_n as_o grow_v saint_n infant-holiness_n as_o perfect_a holiness_n its_o apply_v to_o both_o if_o they_o will_v stick_v at_o a_o syllable_n we_o may_v stick_v with_o they_o on_o the_o same_o ground_n 10._o deny_v consequence_n to_o have_v the_o strength_n of_o command_n and_o you_o will_v leave_v very_o few_o duty_n to_o be_v practise_v or_o sin_n to_o be_v avoid_v in_o the_o old_a or_o new_a testament_n expound_v the_o ten_o commandment_n the_o sum_n of_o the_o law_n without_o consequence_n and_o very_o few_o shall_v be_v find_v literal_a transgressor_n but_o most_o desperate_a debauch_a person_n mat._n 5._o christ_n expound_v the_o whole_a law_n and_o by_o consequence_n from_o the_o inward_a meaning_n draw_v out_o new_a consideration_n of_o duty_n and_o since_o the_o bible_n be_v but_o a_o short_a system_a of_o religion_n every_o place_n be_v fit_v to_o expound_v each_o other_o and_o this_o must_v be_v do_v by_o rational-spiritual_a comparison_n and_o inference_n but_o enough_o to_o the_o first_o consideration_n on_o this_o head_n of_o command_n and_o consequence_n 2._o where_o we_o have_v a_o promise_v lay_v as_o the_o foundation_n of_o a_o duty_n that_o be_v equivalent_a to_o any_o express_a command_n for_o as_o command_n in_o the_o gospel_n do_v suppose_v promise_n to_o encourage_v we_o to_o act_v they_o and_o help_v we_o in_o they_o so_o promise_v make_v to_o person_n do_v include_v command_n especial_o when_o the_o duty_n command_v be_v annex_v to_o the_o promise_n as_o all_o new_a testament_n ordinance_n be_v as_o well_o as_o old_a 3._o we_o have_v as_o much_o in_o the_o n._n t._n to_o prove_v infant-baptism_n from_o the_o true_a principle_n of_o right_a to_o ordinance_n as_o they_o have_v for_o these_o who_o they_o baptize_v for_o they_o baptize_v grow_v person_n on_o such_o and_o such_o consideration_n and_o we_o shall_v hereafter_o show_v we_o baptize_v on_o as_o strong_a and_o equivalent_a ground_n and_o that_o be_v enough_o to_o warrant_v a_o command_n to_o demonstrate_v the_o same_o substantial_a ground_n of_o the_o command_n to_o reach_v the_o same_o case_n 4._o if_o we_o can_v find_v no_o positive_a command_n in_o so_o many_o word_n for_o their_o baptise_v show_v the_o same_o fundamental_a ground_n it_o be_v requisite_a they_o shall_v show_v we_o some_o express_a command_n to_o the_o contrary_a and_o some_o authentic_a repeal_n see_v infant_n so_o long_o enjoy_v such_o a_o like_a ordinance_n upon_o the_o same_o ground_n christ_n will_v not_o have_v take_v away_o such_o a_o ancient_a privilege_n when_o his_o grace_n abound_v and_o superabounded_n but_o he_o will_v have_v leave_v some_o character_n of_o it_o in_o the_o gospel_n and_o enter_v some_o formal_a discharge_n in_o his_o word_n of_o such_o person_n and_o give_v a_o warning_n of_o it_o to_o the_o gentile_a believer_n to_o expect_v it_o but_o he_o have_v both_o by_o his_o word_n and_o carriage_n leave_v clear_a demonstration_n that_o he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o repeal_n as_o he_o confirm_v it_o to_o infant_n let_v the_o scripture_n open_v hereafter_o speak_v to_o this_o the_o three_o consideration_n premise_v be_v this_o as_o all_o that_o they_o urge_v as_o to_o example_n of_o actual_a believer_n be_v baptize_v all_o along_o the_o new_a testament_n especial_o the_o act_n and_o that_o if_o thou_o believe_v thou_o may_v etc._n etc._n we_o can_v free_o grant_v without_o any_o damage_n to_o this_o truth_n for_o 1._o we_o say_v as_o they_o profess_v believer_n grow_v man_n be_v first_o baptize_v and_o so_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v who_o be_v to_o be_v the_o first_o subject_n of_o the_o administration_n of_o a_o ordinance_n person_n able_a to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o their_o own_o faith_n it_o be_v so_o with_o abraham_n gen._n 17_o 24._o he_o be_v 99_o year_n old_a when_o he_o be_v circumcise_v and_o he_o must_v be_v
