A67315	Baptism anatomized being propounded in five queries, viz. I. What water-baptism is? II. What is the end for which it was instituted? III. What giveth right to it? IV. Who are the true administrators of it? V. Whether it be lawful for a man to baptize himself? Wherein the right that the infants of believers have to water-baptism is vindicated: the duty of believing parents in that matter, asserted: and that by the contrary tenet and practise, they ought themselves to be excluded from the Lords-Supper, is plainly and fully proved. And wherein also is proved, that the covenant which God made with Abraham, Gen. 17. and with Israel Exod. ch. 19. and Deut. 29. are the Covenant of Grace in Christ, and not part of the covenant of works made with Adam before his fall.

the_o figure_n or_o forerunner_n of_o water-baptism_n namely_o circumcision_n the_o one_o come_v in_o room_n of_o the_o other_o as_o they_o both_o signify_v one_o and_o the_o same_o benefit_n to_o

circumcise_a for_o abraham_n and_o the_o proselyte_n gentiles_n first_o by_o the_o word_n be_v call_v to_o repent_v god_n have_v give_v they_o also_o faith_n to_o believe_v in_o christ_n who_o be_v

such_o have_v actual_o sin_v and_o repent_v and_o believe_v than_o be_v they_o circumcise_a as_o a_o seal_n set_v on_o they_o of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o their_o faith_n in_o christ_n who_o by_o his_o circumcision_n when_o come_v in_o the_o flesh_n shall_v disburden_v they_o of_o their_o sin_n as_o afore_o prove_v by_o col._n 2._o 11_o 12._o with_o rom._n 4._o 11._o and_o because_o it_o be_v

the_o order_n of_o word_n some_o as_o actual_a sinner_n be_v first_o to_o be_v teach_v before_o either_o circumcise_a or_o baptise_a and_o other_o their_o seed_n in_o infancy_n as_o for_o the_o

so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o warrant_n to_o keep_v infant_n from_o water-baptism_n until_o they_o repent_v thus_o the_o anabaptist_n doctrine_n be_v not_o of_o god_n but_o a_o point_n of_o their_o
