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. Bakewell, Thomas, b. 1618 or 19. 1646 (1646) Wing B534; Thomason E316_23; ESTC R5282 32,062 32

we_o who_o be_v no_o better_a than_o viper_n both_o to_o church_n and_o state_n but_o when_o any_o be_v admit_v to_o baptism_n if_o they_o do_v but_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o his_o be_v the_o true_a religion_n i_o say_v although_o they_o shall_v become_v papist_n or_o profane_a drunkard_n or_o swearer_n or_o adulterer_n and_o shall_v be_v excommunicate_v for_o such_o wickedness_n yet_o still_o they_o have_v a_o right_a to_o the_o ordinance_n as_o a_o freeman_n have_v of_o a_o corporation_n although_o for_o the_o present_a he_o be_v in_o prison_n and_o can_v make_v use_n of_o it_o till_o he_o have_v compound_v with_o his_o adversarice_n and_o this_o man_n give_v satisfaction_n to_o the_o church_n therefore_o his_o child_n ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v unless_o the_o parent_n turn_v turk_n and_o so_o renounce_v christ_n and_o christian_n religion_n yet_o if_o but_o one_o of_o they_o shall_v do_v this_o their_o child_n be_v holy_a and_o aught_o to_o be_v baptize_v notwithstanding_o all_o other_o fail_n whatsoever_o twelve_o thou_o object_n if_o none_o must_v be_v baptize_v and_o so_o receive_v the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n but_o such_o as_o have_v the_o covenant_n than_o infant_n 〈◊〉_d not_o be_v baptize_v but_o they_o say_v the_o first_o be_v true_a because_o they_o be_v uncapable_a to_o receive_v the_o covenant_n therefore_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v baptize_v which_o be_v the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n here_o i_o may_v answer_v that_o christian_n infant_n be_v as_o capable_a both_o to_o receive_v the_o covenant_n and_o the_o token_n of_o it_o as_o the_o jewish_a infant_n be_v but_o it_o be_v not_o true_a to_o say_v they_o only_o that_o have_v the_o covenant_n must_v have_v the_o sign_n and_o token_n of_o it_o for_o the_o male_a child_n of_o the_o jew_n all_o have_v the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n both_o the_o elect_a and_o reprobate_n without_o any_o difference_n and_o woman_n which_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n as_o well_o as_o man_n yet_o the_o sign_n and_o token_n of_o it_o be_v set_v only_o on_o man_n though_o reprobate_n rather_o than_o on_o woman_n though_o never_o so_o faithful_a for_o the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n be_v not_o give_v as_o a_o personal_a benefit_n to_o all_o that_o have_v it_o but_o it_o be_v give_v for_o the_o good_a of_o god_n people_n who_o ought_v to_o rejoice_v and_o be_v thankful_a for_o it_o wherever_o they_o see_v it_o god_n make_v a_o covenant_n with_o adam_n but_o the_o token_n of_o it_o be_v set_v on_o tree_n and_o god_n make_v a_o covenant_n with_o noah_n but_o the_o token_n of_o it_o be_v set_v in_o the_o cloud_n so_o god_n may_v have_v set_v the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o cloud_n or_o on_o tree_n or_o only_o on_o wicked_a man_n if_o he_o have_v so_o please_v then_o shall_v we_o quarrel_v with_o god_n and_o say_v we_o will_v have_v the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n set_v only_o on_o such_o as_o have_v the_o covenant_n as_o if_o the_o rainbow_n shall_v be_v set_v on_o all_o man_n since_o noah_n flood_n no_o let_v we_o do_v as_o faithful_a woman_n do_v in_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n who_o can_v rejoice_v and_o be_v thankful_a for_o the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n although_o it_o be_v not_o set_v on_o they_o but_o on_o man_n only_o and_o many_o of_o they_o reprobate_n you_o we_o do_v not_o find_v that_o ever_o they_o murmur_v against_o god_n because_o they_o have_v not_o the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n upon_o they_o as_o well_o as_o man_n then_o i_o conclude_v notwithstanding_o these_o objection_n that_o christian_n infant_n ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v but_o master_n tomb_n have_v some_o more_o place_n of_o scripture_n to_o examine_v the_o first_o be_v gen._n 17.7_o from_o which_o we_o prove_v that_o god_n do_v establish_v his_o everlasting_a covenant_n to_o abraham_n and_o verse_n 21._o he_o establish_v that_o everlasting_a covenant_n also_o with_o isaac_n and_o be_v establish_v thus_o to_o abraham_n and_o isaac_n than_o it_o be_v also_o confirm_v unto_o jacob_n for_o a_o everlasting_a covenant_n psal_n 105_o 10._o but_o this_o covenant_n be_v make_v with_o christ_n from_o all_o eternity_n so_o prov._n 8.23_o 1_o pet._n 1.20_o titus_n 1.2_o now_o circumcision_n be_v a_o token_n of_o that_o everlasting_a covenant_n gen._n 17.10_o 11._o and_o not_o a_o token_n that_o they_o shall_v enjoy_v the_o land_n of_o canaan_n and_o so_o it_o suit_n with_o baptism_n which_o be_v also_o a_o token_n of_o that_o everlasting_a covenant_n which_o god_n the_o father_n make_v with_o god_n the_o son_n from_o all_o eternity_n but_o master_n tomb_n say_v that_o covenant_n to_o which_o circumcision_n have_v relation_n be_v establish_v to_o abraham_n that_o he_o say_v be_v a_o mix_a covenant_n and_o therefore_o not_o the_o same_o with_o we_o i_o answ_v all_o temporal_a promise_n both_o to_o abraham_n posterity_n and_o also_o to_o we_o be_v but_o the_o overflow_n of_o those_o promise_n contain_v in_o that_o ever_a covenant_n for_o godliness_n have_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o life_n that_o now_o be_v and_o of_o that_o which_o be_v to_o come_v 1_o tim._n 4.8_o seek_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n and_o all_o these_o thing_n shall_v be_v add_v unto_o you_o matth._n 6.33_o so_o then_o we_o have_v as_o many_o promise_n of_o outward_a thing_n as_o the_o jew_n have_v but_o then_o to_o increase_v his_o doubt_n he_o say_v abraham_n seed_n be_v many_o way_n to_o be_v take_v i_o answ_v the_o seed_n to_o who_o the_o covenant_n be_v make_v be_v but_o one_o and_o that_o be_v christ_n gal._n 3.16_o and_o to_o all_o the_o elect_a when_o they_o be_v graft_v into_o christ_n by_o faith_n as_o we_o enter_v into_o the_o first_o adam_n covenant_n when_o we_o come_v to_o have_v his_o image_n of_o nature_n so_o we_o come_v into_o the_o second_o adam_n covenant_n when_o we_o come_v to_o have_v his_o image_n of_o grace_n now_o circumcision_n be_v the_o token_n of_o this_o covenant_n to_o the_o jew_n as_o baptism_n be_v to_o christian_n but_o i_o shall_v speak_v more_o full_o of_o this_o in_o answer_n to_o captain_n hobson_n first_o argument_n second_o master_n tomb_n say_v to_o increase_v his_o doubt_n that_o if_o baptism_n succeed_v circumcision_n than_o none_o but_o male_n ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v because_o none_o but_o male_n be_v circumcise_v and_o john_n baptist_n do_v baptize_v before_o circumcision_n of_o right_n cease_v therefore_o it_o do_v not_o succeed_v circumcision_n although_o they_o both_o signify_v the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n rom._n 4.11.6.3_o 1_o pet._n 3.21_o and_o the_o same_o sanctification_n of_o the_o heart_n col._n 2.11_o 12._o but_o say_v he_o they_o differ_v in_o some_o thing_n first_o circumcision_n do_v signify_v that_o christ_n shall_v come_v of_o isaac_n gen._n 17.21_o but_o baptism_n do_v signify_v his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n i_o answ_v although_o they_o be_v both_o token_n of_o the_o same_o covenant_n yet_o they_o may_v in_o some_o thing_n differ_v in_o their_o signification_n and_o yet_o agree_v well_o together_o thus_o circumcision_n more_o lively_o signify_v mortification_n and_o the_o death_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o crucify_a and_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o justify_v the_o sinner_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o baptism_n more_o clear_o signify_v the_o burial_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o burial_n of_o christ_n and_o rise_v from_o the_o death_n of_o sin_n to_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n by_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n and_o wash_v away_o our_o sin_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n he_o be_v under_o water_n and_o arise_v out_o of_o the_o water_n and_z as_o water_n wash_v away_o the_o filth_n of_o our_o body_n so_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n wash_v away_o our_o sin_n but_o to_o say_v circumcision_n be_v a_o token_n that_o christ_n shall_v come_v of_o isaac_n master_n tomb_n contradict_v it_o himself_o say_v john_n baptize_v before_o circumcision_n shall_v of_o right_o cease_v and_o yet_o christ_n be_v bear_v thirty_o year_n before_o which_o hang_v together_o like_a harp_n and_o harrow_n and_o paul_n circumcise_v timothy_n after_o christ_n ascension_n see_v act_n 16.3_o and_o after_o he_o have_v preach_v of_o his_o resurrection_n many_o time_n but_o this_o have_v be_v notorious_o wicked_a if_o circumcision_n have_v signify_v that_o christ_n be_v yet_o for_o to_o come_v of_o isaac_n second_o he_o say_v circumcision_n signify_v that_o the_o israelite_n be_v separate_v from_o all_o nation_n but_o i_o say_v no_o for_o if_o any_o will_v turn_v to_o the_o jew_n religion_n they_o shall_v be_v circumcise_v let_v they_o be_v of_o what_o nation_n they_o will_v so_o than_o it_o be_v only_o a_o note_n of_o distinction_n of_o their_o religion_n from_o all_o
upon_o they_o to_o baptize_v they_o that_o they_o may_v be_v know_v from_o turk_n and_o heathen_n now_o if_o parent_n have_v not_o this_o power_n than_o no_o kingdom_n can_v ever_o receive_v the_o gospel_n and_o be_v a_o holy_a nation_n as_o the_o jew_n be_v be_v and_o so_o their_o privilege_n will_v exceed_v the_o privilege_n of_o all_o christian_a kingdom_n for_o there_o will_v be_v child_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n for_o till_o then_o they_o will_v marry_v and_o be_v give_v in_o marriage_n till_o the_o last_o day_n then_o as_o abraham_n and_o the_o jew_n receive_v their_o religion_n for_o themselves_o and_o their_o child_n so_o must_v christian_n and_o set_v the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n upon_o they_o as_o they_o do_v but_o then_o for_o the_o other_o conversion_n which_o make_v they_o fit_a for_o the_o other_o sacrament_n the_o lord_n supper_n it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o parent_n although_o they_o can_v bring_v they_o up_o in_o the_o christian_a religion_n yet_o they_o can_v convert_v they_o from_o the_o state_n of_o corruption_n to_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n and_o although_o they_o be_v able_a to_o discern_v when_o they_o conform_v to_o the_o true_a religion_n yet_o they_o can_v see_v into_o their_o soul_n whether_o there_o be_v true_a faith_n in_o they_o that_o new_a name_n write_v none_o know_v but_o he_o that_o have_v it_o then_o although_o it_o be_v say_v teach_v and_o baptize_v all_o nation_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o say_v teach_v and_o give_v the_o lord_n supper_n to_o all_o nation_n for_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o man_n to_o teach_v effectual_o the_o heart_n of_o another_o nor_o to_o know_v when_o they_o be_v so_o teach_v none_o but_o himself_o know_v whether_o he_o discern_v the_o

the_o congregation_n alone_o but_o by_o the_o eldership_n the_o offence_n be_v scandalous_a so_o then_o the_o first_o conversion_n be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o parent_n and_o potential_o in_o the_o child_n already_o they_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v baptize_v but_o then_o he_o say_v the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n can_v be_v a_o baptism_n of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ._n but_o in_o regard_n he_o have_v no_o proof_n for_o it_o i_o refer_v he_o to_o my_o answer_n to_o the_o second_o and_o three_o objection_n and_o conclude_v that_o baptism_n of_o infant_n be_v not_o exclude_v from_o the_o commission_n of_o christ_n and_o it_o be_v a_o baptism_n unto_o faith_n and_o repentance_n and_o therefore_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v his_o four_o argument_n he_o say_v baptism_n of_o infant_n do_v cause_n inconvenience_n in_o the_o church_n first_o because_o we_o make_v they_o member_n of_o the_o church_n before_o they_o be_v call_v of_o god_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o these_o scripture_n 1_o cor._n 1.1_o and_o 2_o cor._n 1.1_o i_o answer_v though_o the_o corinthian_n be_v sanctify_v in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o call_v to_o be_v saint_n yet_o all_o in_o the_o church_n be_v not_o such_o for_o there_o be_v heresy_n and_o prophanesse_n the_o incestuous_a person_n be_v not_o cast_v out_o and_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v profane_v and_o more_o carnal_a man_n then_o spiritual_a and_o many_o division_n some_o of_o paul_n and_o some_o of_o apollo_n then_o be_v these_o all_o saint_n no._n he_o write_v in_o the_o judgement_n of_o charity_n and_o direct_v his_o epistle_n chief_o to_o such_o as_o be_v saint_n indeed_o so_o then_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o charity_n we_o shall_v think_v the_o best_a of_o those_o in_o the_o church_n that_o use_v the_o mean_n to_o attain_v salvation_n and_o so_o you_o may_v judge_v of_o infant_n who_o be_v bring_v up_o in_o the_o true_a religion_n and_o although_o heathen_n must_v have_v a_o call_v to_o christianity_n yet_o when_o christian_n be_v call_v their_o child_n need_v not_o to_o tarry_v for_o such_o a_o call_n because_o they_o have_v no_o false_a religion_n to_o be_v call_v from_o neither_o be_v it_o any_o inconvenience_n to_o the_o jew_n that_o their_o infant_n have_v the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n upon_o they_o before_o their_o call_n but_o rather_o a_o grace_n and_o glory_n to_o their_o church_n and_o a_o benefit_n to_o those_o infant_n to_o engage_v they_o to_o obedience_n of_o that_o covenant_n when_o they_o come_v to_o age_n of_o which_o they_o have_v receive_v a_o token_n so_o all_o the_o people_n and_o the_o publican_n justify_v christ_n when_o they_o hear_v he_o be_v baptize_v of_o john_n when_o as_o the_o pharisee_n and_o lawyer_n reject_v the_o counsel_n of_o god_n against_o themselves_o be_v not_o baptize_v of_o he_o luke_n 7.29_o 30._o then_o as_o we_o will_v have_v they_o justify_v christ_n and_o not_o to_o reject_v his_o counsel_n let_v they_o be_v baptize_v but_o he_o say_v another_o inconvenience_n it_o be_v to_o have_v our_o infant_n baptize_v because_o it_o will_v entail_v privilege_n to_o we_o in_o reference_n to_o generation_n but_o to_o these_o privilege_n he_o say_v they_o must_v be_v sanctify_v quote_v that_o place_n i_o answer_v already_o 2_o cor._n 1.1_o yet_o i_o say_v they_o be_v sanctify_v or_o set_v apart_o from_o turk_n and_o heathen_n for_o the_o christian_a church_n else_o be_v they_o unclean_a but_o now_o they_o be_v holy_a 1_o cor._n 7.14_o than_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v but_o he_o have_v a_o three_o inconvenience_n and_o that_o be_v if_o infant_n be_v baptize_v it_o will_v make_v a_o separation_n and_o distraction_n in_o christ_n conjunction_n and_o that_o be_v to_o baptize_v such_o as_o they_o will_v not_o give_v the_o lord_n supper_n nor_o admit_v they_o nor_o other_o to_o break_v bread_n christ_n will_v have_v they_o to_o do_v both_o and_o they_o will_v admit_v such_o as_o can_v do_v both_o but_o he_o have_v no_o reason_n why_o some_o may_v not_o do_v some_o duty_n when_o they_o be_v disable_v to_o do_v other_o and_o therefore_o i_o refer_v he_o to_o my_o answer_n to_o the_o ten_o objection_n and_o hither_o too_o for_o all_o his_o inconvenience_n i_o see_v no_o good_a argument_n to_o keep_v infant_n of_o christian_n from_o

it_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v do_v for_o they_o do_v all_o both_o under_o the_o law_n and_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o a_o rule_n else_o lot_n may_v have_v plead_v the_o same_o

for_o ishmael_n he_o be_v one_o of_o his_o family_n by_o virtue_n of_o another_o command_n be_v circumcise_v when_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v abraham_n to_o make_v his_o own_o house_n a_o example_n
