Against the rusticke sophistry, and wicked cavillations of sacrilegious Anabaptists: being the summe of certaine sermons had in the parish-church of Cranham, neere the city of Gloucester, in Gloucester-shire, with the exceptions of certaine Anabaptists against the foresaid sermons, and the authors answers thereunto.

we_o be_v now_o to_o treat_v of_o christ_n glorious_a commission_n unto_o his_o legate_n and_o apostle_n wherein_o before_o we_o come_v unto_o the_o particular_a scan_n of_o the_o whole_a text_n we_o will_v premise_v two_o thing_n in_o general_n which_o will_v apposite_o reach_v the_o present_a controversy_n between_o we_o and_o the_o anabaptist_n 1._o the_o first_o general_n be_v this_o viz._n that_o the_o apostle_n and_o first_o planter_n of_o the_o gospel_n must_v no_o long_o keep_v within_o the_o precinct_n and_o border_n of_o judea_n but_o go_v out_o among_o the_o pagan-gentile_n and_o instruct_v they_o in_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o so_o seal_v they_o also_o into_o god_n peculiar_a by_o baptism_n 2._o the_o second_o general_n be_v this_o viz._n that_o the_o apostle_n have_v a_o commission_n from_o christ_n to_o go_v unto_o all_o nation_n without_o limitaion_n and_o be_v not_o to_o take_v up_o their_o settle_a residence_n in_o any_o one_o nation_n but_o to_o travel_v from_o country_n to_o country_n their_o commission_n be_v so_o large_a and_o ample_a they_o be_v for_o spain_n they_o be_v for_o rome_n for_o italy_n for_o corinth_n for_o asia_n for_o macedonia_n for_o philippi_n etc._n etc._n and_o in_o this_o they_o have_v a_o peculiar_a commission_n which_o be_v to_o plant_v foundation_n where_o christ_n be_v not_o name_v to_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n before_o lewes_z and_o gentile_n to_o be_v the_o immediate_a penman_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o deliver_v unto_o they_o the_o immediate_a will_n of_o god_n concern_v faith_n and_o worship_n and_o to_o confirm_v their_o doctrine_n by_o miracle_n as_o part_v of_o their_o extraordinary_a commission_n now_o let_v the_o anabaptist_n show_v we_o any_o such_o commission_n among_o all_o the_o mop_v ape_n of_o their_o apostolical_a instructer_n by_o who_o miraculous_a endowment_n they_o hope_v to_o see_v all_o the_o world_n bring_v to_o the_o obedience_n of_o their_o faith_n now_o this_o second_o observation_n we_o shall_v not_o speak_v of_o here_o in_o this_o treatise_n for_o such_o be_v the_o impetuous_a madness_n of_o the_o anabaptist_n at_o their_o first_o entrance_n into_o their_o new_a way_n for_o young_a beginner_n be_v most_o fiery_a that_o i_o think_v it_o prudence_n to_o forbear_v the_o further_o prosecute_n of_o this_o text_n for_o their_o objection_n will_v have_v be_v so_o many_o that_o in_o answer_v of_o they_o i_o shall_v have_v spend_v whole_a sermon_n and_o so_o have_v deprive_v my_o auditory_a of_o more_o necessary_a instruction_n and_o therefore_o i_o resolve_v to_o deal_v with_o they_o by_o writing_n and_o to_o publish_v my_o sermon-note_n or_o at_o least_o the_o sum_n of_o they_o upon_o this_o first_o general_n this_o be_v the_o very_a hinge_n upon_o which_o the_o controversy_n betwixt_o we_o and_o the_o anabaptist_n be_v turn_v the_o first_o general_n point_n than_o be_v this_o viz._n that_o the_o apostle_n and_o first_o planter_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v no_o long_o to_o keep_v within_o the_o border_n and_o precinct_n of_o judea_n but_o to_o go_v out_o among_o the_o pagan-gentile_n and_o instruct_v they_o in_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o be_v so_o instruct_v to_o seal_v they_o into_o god_n peculiar_a by_o baptism_n now_o as_o this_o point_n stand_v clear_o upon_o the_o text_n so_o other_o scripture_n suffrage_n with_o it_o as_o mark._n 16.14_o 18._o act._n 10.34_o 38._o act._n 13.47_o 48._o and_o this_o primitive_a administration_n of_o the_o gospel_n unto_o the_o pagan_a

faith_n must_v be_v the_o door_n of_o admittance_n but_o to_o make_v brief_a way_n to_o the_o clear_n of_o the_o truth_n against_o the_o obstreperous_a clamour_n and_o darken_v cavillation_n of_o the_o anabaptist_n or_o opposer_n of_o paedobaptism_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v what_o the_o state_n of_o the_o gentile_n be_v in_o point_n of_o religion_n before_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v among_o they_o by_o the_o apostle_n and_o first_o planter_n of_o christ_n kingdom_n and_o then_o what_o their_o estate_n be_v now_o where_o the_o gospel_n be_v plant_v and_o they_o baptize_v in_o point_n of_o religion_n the_o state_n of_o the_o pagan-gentile_n in_o point_n of_o religion_n before_o the_o gospel_n be_v plant_v among_o they_o may_v be_v present_v unto_o you_o in_o two_o general_n viz._n 1._o they_o be_v without_o christ_n alien_n from_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o israel_n stranger_n from_o the_o covenant_n of_o promise_n have_v no_o hope_n and_o without_o god_n in_o the_o

therefore_o be_v there_o any_o reason_n that_o these_o shall_v be_v baptize_v before_o they_o be_v turn_v from_o their_o idol_n and_o call_v to_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o repentance_n towards_o

and_o the_o apostle_n do_v so_o for_o it_o be_v express_o say_v that_o many_o of_o the_o corinthian_n hear_v believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v and_o there_o be_v good_a reason_n for_o this_o for_o

parent_n be_v not_o baptize_v before_o and_o in_o the_o state_n of_o christianity_n but_o second_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o gentile_n where_o the_o gospel_n be_v embrace_v and_o they_o baptize_v into_o the_o name_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n be_v not_o now_o the_o same_o in_o point_n of_o religion_n for_o 1._o first_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o such_o gentile_n be_v alien_n from_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o israel_n without_o christ_n stranger_n from_o the_o covenant_n of_o promise_n have_v no_o hope_n and_o without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n 2._o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o such_o

conscience_n can_v well_o dispense_v withal_o as_o appear_v by_o your_o usual_a practice_n and_o whether_o you_o turn_v to_o we_o or_o new-england_n you_o must_v turn_v from_o your_o own_o way_n our_o agreement_n be_v such_o that_o we_o be_v all_o one_o in_o the_o point_n of_o paedobaptism_n against_o you_o we_o in_o this_o land_n hold_v that_o child_n of_o all_o baptize_v parent_n be_v baptizable_a in_o their_o infancy_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n under_o which_o such_o child_n be_v bear_v as_o child_n of_o all_o circumcise_a parent_n be_v circumcisable_v in_o their_o infancy_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o same_o covenant_n of_o grace_n under_o which_o they_o be_v bear_v and_o this_o be_v the_o opinion_n and_o practice_n of_o all_o reform_a church_n that_o i_o know_v as_o the_o french_a scottish_a dutch_a high_a and_o low_a etc._n etc._n but_o what_o they_o do_v in_o new-england_n i_o know_v not_o the_o record_n of_o their_o church_n order_n and_o tenant_n be_v not_o in_o print_n but_o they_o which_o say_v they_o follow_v new-england_n way_n will_v not_o baptize_v all_o child_n of_o believer_n neither_o except_o they_o be_v in_o their_o covenant_n except_o believer_n enter_v into_o their_o covenant_n they_o shall_v have_v no_o commons_o with_o they_o at_o the_o lord_n table_n neither_o shall_v their_o child_n be_v baptize_v by_o they_o but_o their_o warrant_n for_o this_o practice_n we_o desire_v to_o see_v for_o we_o think_v it_o unjust_a and_o impious_a that_o person_n under_o god_n covenant_n of_o grace_n shall_v be_v deprive_v of_o god_n seal_n which_o he_o have_v inseparable_o annex_v unto_o that_o covenant_n and_o moreover_o for_o they_o to_o deny_v baptism_n unto_o child_n of_o baptize_v parent_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n though_o such_o parent_n be_v vicious_a in_o their_o life_n as_o long_o as_o such_o parent_n remain_v within_o the_o church_n and_o be_v orthodox_n all_o in_o the_o faith_n i_o be_o sure_a that_o the_o child_n of_o the_o jew_n who_o parent_n be_v profane_a in_o life_n be_v not_o keep_v back_o from_o the_o sacrament_n of_o circumcision_n for_o that_o cause_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o that_o covenant_n be_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o not_o of_o work_n there_o be_v two_o covenant_n that_o god_n have_v make_v with_o man_n viz._n the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o these_o covenant_n there_o be_v two_o head_n namely_o the_o first_o adam_n and_o the_o second_o adam_n with_o the_o first_o adam_n god_n do_v strike_v a_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o adam_n the_o head_n of_o this_o body_n in_o covenant_n do_v transgress_v and_o so_o destroy_v the_o covenant_n and_o thereby_o deprive_v himself_o and_o all_o his_o member_n of_o the_o privilege_n thereof_o and_o so_o death_n enter_v upon_o all_o m●n_z in_o that_o all_o have_v sin_v in_o their_o head_n with_o the_o second_o adam_n viz._n christ_n god_n do_v strike_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o christ_n the_o head_n of_o his_o body_n in_o this_o covenant_n remain_v just_a and_o the_o justifier_n of_o his_o member_n and_o therefore_o his_o member_n can_v be_v deprive_v of_o the_o privilege_n of_o this_o covenant_n for_o the_o default_n of_o immediate_a parent_n now_o for_o th●se_a man_n in_o this_o way_n as_o they_o say_v of_o new-england_n to_o put_v a_o stop_n unto_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n in_o deny_v baptism_n unto_o child_n of_o baptize_v parent_n i_o see_v no_o warrant_n for_o first_o this_o practice_n destroy_v the_o nature_n of_o this_o covenant_n for_o the_o parent_n by_o their_o miscarriage_n have_v break_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n but_o not_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n this_o remain_v entire_a in_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o child_n bear_v under_o this_o covenant_n and_o these_o child_n though_o by_o natural_a generation_n they_o be_v the_o offspring_n of_o such_o wicked_a parent_n yet_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o covenant_n under_o which_o they_o be_v bear_v they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o covenant_n this_o practice_n than_o be_v a_o presumption_n of_o a_o high_a nature_n than_o these_o man_n be_v aware_a off_o and_o albeit_o their_o intent_n be_v a_o reformation_n yet_o the_o mean_n be_v diabolical_a second_o this_o practice_n do_v virtual_o accuse_v christ_n the_o head_n as_o a_o

privilege_n whereof_o under_o the_o gospel_n baptism_n be_v the_o first_o and_o the_o vicious_a carriage_n of_o immediate_a parent_n can_v no_o more_o exclude_v a_o child_n from_o baptism_n now_o than_o can_v former_o the_o vicious_a carriage_n of_o jewish_a parent_n exclude_v their_o child_n from_o the_o privilege_n of_o circumcision_n now_o some_o to_o evade_v this_o say_v that_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v a_o nationall_n church_n but_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v not_o so_o but_o this_o be_v but_o a_o mere_a shift_n to_o evade_v what_o they_o can_v answer_v for_o

even_o when_o and_o while_o they_o be_v a_o family-church_n but_o to_o the_o point_n i_o say_v that_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v a_o nationall_n church_n in_o some_o thing_n after_o a_o peculiar_a manner_n as_o first_o god_n have_v tie_v himself_o to_o remain_v with_o that_o nation_n by_o his_o ordinance_n of_o grace_n until_o shiloh_n come_v second_o that_o nation_n be_v once_o a_o year_n in_o the_o representative_a body_n thereof_o to_o meet_v at_o one_o common_a place_n viz._n at_o jerusalem_n about_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n by_o divine_a appointment_n now_o god_n have_v

receive_v the_o doctrine_n and_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n i_o hope_v england_n be_v a_o nationall_n church_n and_o if_o in_o this_o sense_n the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v a_o nationall_n church_n that_o be_v as_o much_o as_o i_o require_v but_o sure_o these_o man_n have_v some_o other_o meaning_n when_o they_o say_v that_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v a_o nationall_n church_n and_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v not_o than_o as_o yet_o they_o dare_v to_o utter_v though_o among_o they_o you_o shall_v seldom_o find_v a_o man_n tongue-tied_a their_o
