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

baptism_n print_v in_o the_o year_n 1646._o will_v have_v circumcision_n to_o be_v a_o type_n of_o baptism_n which_o can_v be_v for_o 1._o type_n must_v have_v something_o in_o their_o outward_a

to_o make_v one_o outward_a sign_n the_o antitype_n of_o another_o 4._o circumcision_n be_v as_o holy_a a_o ordinance_n as_o baptism_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o they_o be_v both_o in_o themselves_o outward_a act_n and_o no_o holiness_n more_o in_o one_o then_o in_o another_o but_o as_o they_o have_v from_o institution_n only_a baptism_n be_v more_o easy_a to_o the_o flesh_n than_o
