preach_v to_o hear_v he_o tell_v they_o beloved_n if_o your_o child_n die_v in_o their_o infancy_n unless_o they_o be_v elect_v i_o can_v assure_v you_o they_o shall_v go_v to_o hell_n and_o be_v

of_o mr._n mence_n book_n that_o whereas_o he_o charge_v mr._n collins_n for_o maintain_v infant-damning_a doctrine_n it_o be_v altogether_o a_o mistake_n for_o mr._n collins_n be_v rather_o incline_v to_o think_v that_o all_o die_a infant_n be_v save_v by_o the_o impute_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n notwithstanding_o all_o this_o and_o much_o more_o that_o have_v be_v say_v before_o upon_o this_o subject_a he_o still_o go_v on_o in_o his_o confident_a way_n of_o writing_n and_o say_v he_o will_v prove_v that_o all_o by_o birth_n or_o nature_n be_v by_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n liable_a to_o the_o condemnation_n of_o hell_n by_o plain_a scripture_n he_o be_v a_o bold_a man_n at_o assert_v but_o he_o common_o fail_v in_o his_o proof_n let_v we_o now_o examine_v those_o scripture_n he_o allege_v for_o probation_n of_o this_o confident_a assertion_n gen._n 2.17_o in_o the_o day_n thou_o eat_v thereof_o thou_o shall_v sure_o die_v now_o this_o be_v the_o threaten_a but_o in_o

with_o its_o concomitant_n curse_v be_v the_o ground_n for_o thy_o sake_n in_o sorrow_n shall_v thou_o eat_v of_o it_o all_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o life_n thorn_n also_o and_o thistle_n shall_v it_o

for_o out_o of_o it_o waste_v thou_o take_v for_o dust_n thou_o be_v and_o unto_o dust_n shall_v thou_o return_v here_o you_o see_v that_o what_o be_v call_v death_n in_o the_o threaten_n be_v call_v return_v to_o the_o ground_n and_o unto_o dust_n in_o the_o sentence_n but_o not_o one_o word_n of_o punishment_n in_o hell_n so_o much_o as_o intimate_v therein_o as_o for_o the_o other_o text_n he_o mention_n they_o be_v no_o proof_n of_o what_o he_o bring_v they_o for_o and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v pass_v they_o and_o proceed_v to_o his_o three_o argument_n argu._n 1._o if_o child_n need_v regeneration_n and_o a_o second_o birth_n before_o they_o can_v go_v to_o heaven_n than_o they_o be_v liable_a to_o eternal_a as_o well_o as_o temporal_a death_n but_o child_n do_v need_v regeneration_n therefore_o etc._n etc._n john_n 3.3_o 5._o except_o a_o man_n be_v bear_v again_o etc._n etc._n now_o it_o be_v plain_a nicodemus_n understand_v our_o saviour_n in_o this_o sense_n by_o his_o answer_n viz._n not_o of_o child_n new_o bear_v but_o of_o adult_a person_n for_o he_o say_v how_o can_v a_o man_n be_v bear_v when_o he_o be_v old_a but_o to_o answer_v direct_o to_o his_o argument_n i_o deny_v his_o minor_n and_o say_v they_o do_v not_o need_v regeneration_n and_o a_o second_o birth_n in_o the_o sense_n there_o intend_v before_o they_o can_v go_v to_o heaven_n and_o if_o they_o do_v they_o be_v in_o a_o bad_a case_n indeed_o for_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a either_o of_o repentance_n or_o faith_n both_o which_o be_v comprehend_v in_o those_o word_n except_o a_o man_n be_v bear_v again_o thus_o you_o see_v when_o he_o shall_v have_v bring_v a_o text_n to_o have_v prove_v infant_n must_v be_v bear_v again_o this_o only_a prove_v that_o a_o person_n of_o grow_v year_n a_o man_n must_v be_v bear_v again_o let_v he_o not_o imagine_v that_o i_o feign_v a_o interpretation_n of_o my_o own_o for_o mr._n firmin_n a_o great_a pedo-baptist_n say_v they_o must_v be_v regenerate_v they_o must_v have_v faith_n etc._n etc._n they_o who_o be_v regenerate_v have_v faith_n and_o repentance_n all_o save_v infant_n be_v regenerate_v therefore_o they_o have_v faith_n and_o repentance_n they_o must_v be_v bear_v of_o water_n and_o of_o the_o spirit_n according_a to_o john_n 3.6_o else_o there_o be_v no_o heaven_n for_o they_o now_o that_o god_n do_v cleanse_v die_v infant_n from_o all_o impurity_n and_o fit_v they_o for_o heaven_n i_o ready_o grant_v but_o this_o regeneration_n they_o talk_v of_o from_o this_o text_n and_o apply_v to_o infant_n i_o positive_o deny_v and_o certain_a i_o be_o if_o he_o have_v read_v those_o quotation_n upon_o that_o argument_n give_v by_o mr._n claridge_n he_o may_v have_v be_v sensible_a of_o this_o his_o error_n before_o he_o have_v write_v this_o his_o 2d_o part_n whether_o infant_n have_v faith_n or_o no_o be_v a_o question_n say_v dr._n taylor_n to_o be_v dispute_v by_o person_n that_o care_v not_o how_o much_o they_o say_v and_o how_o little_a they_o prove_v which_o be_v the_o very_a case_n of_o mr._n harrison_n when_o he_o have_v deny_v they_o to_o have_v either_o personal_a and_o actual_a or_o habitual_a faith_n he_o conclude_v thus_o this_o strange_a invention_n be_v absolute_o without_o art_n without_o scripture_n reason_n or_o authority_n but_o the_o man_n be_v to_o be_v excuse_v unless_o there_o be_v a_o better_a and_o again_o we_o desire_v say_v he_o no_o more_o advantage_n in_o the_o world_n against_o such_o man_n than_o that_o they_o be_v constrain_v to_o answer_v without_o revelation_n against_o reason_n common-sence_n and_o all_o the_o experience_n in_o the_o world_n dr._n tailor_n be_v liberty_n of_o prophecy_n page_n 240_o 242._o mr._n h_n 2d_o argum._n be_v this_o if_o infant_n be_v not_o liable_a to_o the_o damnation_n of_o hell_n for_o adam_n sin_n than_o they_o may_v be_v save_v without_o christ_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n but_o etc._n etc._n this_o be_v a_o strange_a assertion_n what_o can_v infant_n be_v save_v by_o work_n that_o be_v whole_o uncapable_a to_o perform_v any_o this_o be_v mere_a trifle_n but_o i_o shall_v deny_v the_o consequence_n of_o his_o major_n for_o if_o infant_n by_o virtue_n of_o adam_n sin_n must_v return_v to_o the_o dust_n and_o can_v raise_v themselves_o to_o life_n again_o but_o must_v have_v remain_v in_o that_o state_n for_o ever_o unless_o christ_n have_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n dye_v and_o rise_v again_o and_o by_o virtue_n of_o his_o resurrection_n raise_v they_o again_o by_o his_o mighty_a power_n than_o it_o have_v be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o have_v be_v save_v so_o that_o it_o be_v a_o nonsequitor_a for_o although_o they_o be_v not_o condemn_v to_o eternal_a punishment_n in_o hell_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n for_o they_o to_o be_v save_v by_o christ_n if_o ever_o they_o get_v to_o heaven_n but_o beside_o this_o they_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o christ_n to_o purify_v their_o nature_n from_o original_a corruption_n as_o i_o have_v show_v above_o his_o 3d._n argu._n be_v this_o such_o as_o be_v by_o nature_n child_n of_o wrath_n be_v liable_a to_o the_o condemnation_n of_o hell_n but_o all_o be_v so_o therefore_o infant_n eph._n 2.1_o 2_o 3._o answ_n in_o this_o he_o have_v deal_v very_o unfair_o and_o neither_o like_a a_o gentleman_n nor_o a_o scholar_n for_o his_o argument_n be_v not_o in_o due_a form_n for_o 1._o infant_n be_v not_o where_o express_v but_o in_o the_o conclusion_n 2._o he_o have_v put_v the_o word_n all_o into_o the_o minor_a though_o he_o have_v not_o tell_v we_o what_o all_o he_o mean_v and_o in_o the_o major_n it_o be_v only_o such_o as_o be_v etc._n etc._n i_o suppose_v he_o will_v have_v frame_v a_o categorical_a syilogism_n if_o
so_o that_o the_o main_a design_n of_o the_o apostle_n among_o other_o mercy_n of_o god_n bestow_v upon_o that_o people_n be_v to_o commemorate_v that_o great_a and_o wonderful_a deliverance_n at_o the_o red_a sea_n and_o then_o to_o show_v we_o what_o a_o ungrateful_a people_n they_o be_v thus_o to_o sin_n against_o he_o and_o to_o cause_v he_o for_o their_o sin_n to_o destroy_v they_o in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o if_o this_o be_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o place_n as_o i_o believe_v it_o be_v that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v warn_v by_o their_o fall_n to_o avoid_v fall_v into_o apostasy_n against_o god_n as_o they_o do_v and_o have_v our_o translator_n so_o render_v the_o word_n as_o it_o import_v in_o our_o english_a tongue_n no_o man_n will_v ever_o have_v dream_v of_o a_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n from_o this_o text._n if_o notwithstanding_o all_o that_o i_o have_v say_v upon_o the_o text_n mr._n h._n will_v still_o insist_v upon_o it_o that_o it_o be_v a_o baptism_n and_o that_o by_o sprinkle_v i_o shall_v oppose_v thereto_o the_o dutch_a translator_n to_o show_v he_o their_o opinion_n to_o the_o contrary_a who_o be_v presbyterian_o their_o word_n may_v possible_o have_v the_o great_a force_n upon_o his_o understanding_n they_o read_v it_o thus_o end_v alle_fw-mi in_o mosen_n gedoopt_v zin_n and_o they_o be_v all_o dip_v unto_o moses_n so_o that_o you_o may_v see_v the_o learned_a man_n in_o holland_n of_o his_o own_o persuasion_n do_v direct_o contradict_v what_o he_o say_v i_o will_v only_o offer_v one_o consideration_n more_o and_o so_o pass_v it_o viz._n that_o by_o the_o same_o argument_n that_o in_o the_o word_n all_o their_o infant_n be_v include_v their_o cattle_n be_v include_v also_o for_o they_o all_o pass_v under_o the_o cloud_n and_o through_o the_o sea_n as_o well_o as_o their_o little_a one_o for_o it_o be_v write_v exod_n 10.26_o our_o cattle_n also_o shall_v go_v with_o we_o there_o shall_v not_o a_o hoof_n be_v lest_o behind_o and_o although_o the_o papist_n be_v for_o baptise_v of_o bell_n i_o hope_v mr._n h._n will_v not_o be_v also_o for_o baptise_v of_o cattle_n even_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n but_o let_v he_o avoid_v the_o consequence_n if_o he_o can_v in_o case_n it_o be_v not_o restrain_v to_o the_o father_n as_o in_o the_o text._n the_o next_o thing_n mr._n h._n insist_o upon_o be_v that_o there_o be_v three_o sort_n of_o baptism_n that_o of_o water_n that_o of_o the_o spirit_n and_o that_o of_o affliction_n to_o which_o i_o concede_fw-la and_o whereas_o he_o say_v it_o be_v express_v by_o one_o greek_a word_n i_o do_v also_o agree_v but_o that_o those_o three_o as_o he_o say_v be_v but_o one_o baptism_n that_o i_o deny_v he_o be_v the_o first_o that_o i_o ever_o know_v affirm_v it_o but_o pray_v sir_n consider_v what_o you_o say_v be_v water_n the_o spirit_n and_o fire_n be_v affliction_n the_o spirit_n or_o water_n affliction_n or_o fire_n water_n take_v it_o which_o way_n you_o will_v i_o believe_v you_o will_v find_v it_o attend_v with_o difficulty_n indeed_o sir_n it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o intricate_a metaphor_n that_o you_o have_v yet_o sport_v yourself_o with_o in_o your_o whole_a book_n and_o if_o you_o understand_v it_o no_o better_o than_o i_o do_v you_o may_v have_v forbear_v to_o acquaint_v the_o world_n with_o the_o conceit_a fineness_n of_o the_o thought_n but_o sir_n i_o suppose_v i_o may_v have_v the_o same_o liberty_n to_o give_v you_o my_o thought_n as_o you_o have_v to_o impart_v you_o the_o text_n you_o have_v bring_v to_o prove_v that_o these_o three_o baptism_n be_v but_o one_o and_o express_v by_o one_o word_n be_v eph._n 4.5_o one_o lord_n one_o faith_n one_o baptism_n how_o this_o prove_v that_o those_o three_o baptism_n be_v but_o one_o baptism_n i_o see_v not_o sir_n you_o be_v very_o unhappy_a in_o one_o thing_n to_o lay_v down_o assertion_n and_o when_o you_o come_v to_o prove_v it_o you_o urge_v such_o text_n that_o do_v not_o conclude_v the_o thing_n in_o question_n but_o although_o this_o do_v not_o prove_v three_o to_o be_v one_o and_o so_o afford_v we_o a_o new_a sort_n of_o trinity_n i_o will_v not_o be_v so_o ungentile_a as_o not_o to_o give_v you_o my_o thought_n upon_o the_o text_n before_o i_o pass_v it_o there_o be_v a_o threefold_a baptism_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n viz._n that_o of_o water_n that_o of_o affliction_n and_o that_o of_o the_o spirit_n and_o yet_o the_o apostle_n here_o speak_v after_o this_o manner_n one_o baptism_n as_o there_o be_v one_o lord_n one_o god_n etc._n etc._n now_o my_o thought_n be_v these_o that_o it_o be_v water-baptism_n only_o that_o be_v here_o intend_a and_o my_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o to_o speak_v proper_o there_o be_v no_o other_o real_a baptism_n for_o the_o other_o two_o be_v figurative_a and_o metaphorical_a but_o beside_o the_o apostle_n be_v there_o speak_v of_o those_o believer_n as_o incorporate_v into_o one_o body_n and_o as_o have_v be_v call_v into_o one_o hope_n of_o their_o call_n have_v christ_n for_o their_o one_o lord_n and_o one_o faith_n to_o unite_v they_o to_o this_o one_o lord_n and_o one_o baptism_n to_o make_v they_o visible_a member_n of_o this_o one_o body_n the_o church_n which_o mr._n h._n own_v to_o be_v a_o initiate_a ordinance_n and_o god_n as_o their_o one_o common_a father_n to_o supply_v all_o their_o want_n and_o that_o these_o person_n that_o be_v member_n of_o this_o church_n be_v baptize_v with_o water_n upon_o believe_v you_o may_v see_v act_n 19_o beginning_n and_o this_o seem_v to_o i_o the_o most_o probable_a sense_n of_o those_o word_n one_o baptism_n now_o that_o it_o be_v a_o real_a baptism_n be_v evident_a for_o as_o the_o word_n signify_v to_o dip_v plunge_v or_o overwhelm_v they_o in_o the_o water_n and_o as_o it_o signify_v the_o burial_n and_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n so_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o thing_n do_v it_o be_v a_o real_a act_n for_o that_o every_o person_n who_o be_v true_o baptize_v as_o i_o have_v show_v above_o be_v plunge_v into_o the_o water_n and_o also_o raise_v up_o again_o out_o of_o the_o water_n the_o thing_n be_v real_o perform_v but_o that_o of_o affliction_n be_v only_o metaphorical_a allude_v to_o this_o of_o water_n as_o likewise_o also_o that_o of_o the_o spirit_n and_o of_o fire_n but_o perhaps_o mr._n h._n may_v imagine_v that_o to_o be_v the_o baptism_n of_o affliction_n which_o be_v not_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o hear_v what_o he_o say_v about_o it_o as_o to_o the_o baptism_n of_o affliction_n say_v he_o some_o suffer_v more_o some_o less_o some_o suffer_v light_a cross_n as_o mock_v etc._n etc._n some_o loss_n of_o good_n and_o liberty_n other_o
