A67323	Infants baptism from heaven, of divine institution Being a brief yet satisfactory answer to some objections made by Hercules Collins, in his book entituled, Believers baptism from heaven, infants baptism from earth, &c. against certain truths proved in a book entituled, Baptism anatomized. Propounded in five queries, by Tho. Wall. Viz. 1. What water-baptism is? 2. What is the end for which it was instituted? 3. What giveth right to it? 4. Who are the true administrators of it? 5. Whether it be lawful for a man to baptise 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 practice, they ought themselved to be excluded from the Lords-Supper, is plainly and fully proved. And wherein is also proved, that the covenant which God made with Abraham, Gen. 17. and with Israel, Exod. 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.

have by Free Grace in Christ to Remission of Sins and so to the Visible Sign thereof Water Baptism to be administred on them And whereas he saith in the Title of his Eleventh Chapter that it containeth a brief but sufficient Answer to my Book Baptism Anatomiz'd he beginneth after this vaunting manner I Query 1. Whether this Man doth not act against the Light of Conscience Experience and Holy Scripture when he asserts Indefinitely the Infants of Believers have by the Free Gift of God in the Covenant of Grace a Right to Remission of Sins and so a Right to Baptism To this he maketh this Answer by way of Query as his only reason to oppose the Truth aforesaid his words are these Had Cain Ismael Esau Absalom Samuel's Sons of Belial all Children of Believers a right to Remission of Sins To which I reply first he saith I assert Indefinitely that the Infants of believers have c. By by the word indefinitely he meaneth without limit or bound this is false for let him shew in what Page in all my Book I have asserted any thing otherwise but according to God's Revealed Will concerning the absolute Right that Insants of Believers have by the free Grace of God in the Covenant of Grace to remission of Sins by giving place to God's secret Election if they to wit Infants of Believers continue like Abel Isaac Jacob Timothy and the like in the way of Faith and Holiness they shall be Saved See p. 32. Baptism Anatomiz'd Secondly If Hercules Collins his Doctrin be a Truth that because some of the Infants of Believers prove not to be of the Election by their evil Fruits when grown up as appeared in Cain Ismael c. that therefore we must conclude from thence that none of the Infants of Believers have a Visible Right by the free Gift of God in the Covenant of Grace to remission of Sins and so now in these last days to Water-Baptism then this will follow That because some actual Believers as Simon Magus Demas and the like fell away after they had been Baptised with the Visible Sign of remission of Sins that therefore all the rest of the Believers in the Apostles days had no Right to the Remission of Sins and so no Right to Water-Baptism But to come nearer to Hercules Collins the Persons Men and Women of his Society being in their Way Baptised and in his Judgment had right to Remission of Sins and some of these in time do fall into gross Sin as to deny even the Ordinance of Baptism and the Lord's-Supper as not to be administred at all as likewise into other gross Sins Will he conclude that all the rest of his Society because some are become so wicked have no right to Remission of Sins and so no right to Baptism If the former Reason of his be true against Infants of Believers the latter is true against Elder Persons And thus this Man at once hath granted by his not giving place to God's Election that no Persons among themselves have right to Remission of Sins and so no right to Water-Baptism for no other reason but because some of them prove Wicked and therefore he must never Baptise any hereafter until he can enter into God's secret Decree to know who only are the Elect that shall never fall totally away after Baptised And thus the Wicked Man is Snared in the works of his own hands Selah that is O mind this well This might serve for a sufficient Answer to his whole Book until he by acknowledging the Truth which I have asserted deliver himself out of this Snare that he is fallen into which he laid for others that because some Infants as Elder Persons visibly in Covenant with the Lord afterward do fall away that therefore all the rest have no right to Remission of Sins But I shall proceed further in laying open more of his Folly If it prove not a benefit to this Goliah-like Boaster it may be a Warning to others to beware of the Doctrin of Anabaptistry In which Book he further saith in Pag. 109. Query the Second Whether there is not good ground given to believe in reading a great part of this Book from Page 25. to 41. and 168. that he is of Origen's Opinion the whole World may be saved at last and then why not the Devils too For saith he in Page 168. If all Infants Sinned in Adam when Adam was restored they were restored in his Loins and when Born they were Born in a Gospel Covenant Page 26. God freely forgave Adam and his Posterity in him their Sin Reply In the 24. Page of Baptism Anatomiz'd I have shewed from Rom. 5. 12. how Sin came into the World as it is written wherefore as by one Man Sin entred into the World and Death by Sin and so Death passed upon all Men for that or in whom all have Sinned thus the Apostle proveth that what I asserted is Truth that all Infants Sinned in Adam's Loins Secondly In Page 25. I shewed the manner or way God was pleased to restore those two sorts of Sinners the one Actual as Adam and Eve the other Passive who in Infancy by Original Corruption derived Sin and by Imputation charged on them Therefore because Adam and Eve had actually and willingly Sinned it was the Pleasure of God that not only our first Parents but also all actual Sinners in all Ages should Repent and actually profess Faith in Christ before they were accepted into Covenant with the Lord and have remission of their Sins Now because the Infants of such were only Sinners by Imputation as aforesaid through Original Corruption and not by their own Act God was pleased and still is pleased and that of free Grace to pass by the sin charged on Infants when the sin of their Parents was Pardoned and therefore the Children born in the Covenant of Grace are by the Lord called his Children accounted born unto him Ezek. 16. 8 20 and 21. And forasmuch as Children are by the Scripture called a Man's Family Gen. 10. 32. God being pleased that in Christ Families shall be Blessed therefore the Lord saith not only before the Law but in the time of the Law and also in the latter days he will be the God of all Families of his Israel that is the Israel of God namely Believers and their Infants whether Jews or Gentiles the truth hereof is confirmed by the Apostle in these words writing not to the whole World but to true Churches separated from the World wherefore as by the Offence of one namely the first Adam Judgment came upon all Men for a Child born is called a Man Gen. 4. 1. Joh. 16. 21. even so by the Righteousness of one namely Christ the second Adam the free Gift came upon all Men unto Justification of Life for as by one Man's Disobedience many were made Sinners so by the Obedience of one many shall be made Righteous Now because when Adam and Eve were
