A90658	A reply to a confutation of some grounds for infants baptisme: as also, concerning the form of a church, put forth against mee by one Thomas Lamb. Hereunto is added, a discourse of the verity and validity of infants baptisme, wherein I endeavour to clear it in it self: as also in the ministery administrating it, and the manner of administration, by sprinkling, and not dipping; with sundry other particulars handled herein. / By George Philips of Watertown in New England.	Phillips, George, 1593-1644.	1645 (1645)	Wing P2026; Thomason E287_4; ESTC R200088	141,673	168

birth_n be_v baptism_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n call_v the_o birth_n of_o water_n joh._n 3.5_o tit._n 3.5_o therefore_o by_o administration_n of_o true_a baptism_n the_o church_n be_v be_v true_o

it_o for_o first_o it_o will_v ask_v more_o skill_n than_o it_o may_v be_v he_o have_v to_o recover_v they_o out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o many_o godly_a judicious_a that_o deny_v those_o place_n to_o

ergo_fw-la baptism_n be_v to_o be_v administer_v to_o believer_n for_o that_o end_n reply_n they_o be_v believer_n first_o for_o so_o himself_o say_v but_o to_o believe_v be_v to_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o by_o his_o faith_n forsake_v sin_n and_o the_o world_n choose_v god_n to_o be_v his_o god_n and_o god_n people_n to_o be_v his_o people_n and_o as_o by_o the_o inward_a grace_n this_o be_v do_v

as_o a_o sign_n and_o seal_v thereof_o baptism_n there_o do_v not_o effect_v those_o end_n but_o signify_v and_o seal_v those_o end_n before_o effect_v this_o argument_n still_o labour_v of_o the_o former_a mistake_n make_v the_o sign_n to_o be_v the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v by_o it_o again_o there_o be_v other_o end_n of_o baptism_n beside_o these_o as_o himself_o confess_v and_o therefore_o the_o church_n may_v be_v form_v a_o church_n before_o and_o without_o these_o end_n to_o be_v effect_v by_o baptism_n one_o end_n be_v to_o be_v a_o sign_n &_o seal_n of_o the_o

argument_n he_o have_v be_v from_o the_o not_o iteration_n of_o baptism_n it_o be_v to_o be_v administer_v but_o once_o the_o lord_n supper_n often_o in_o which_o respect_n baptism_n be_v the_o sign_n of_o our_o birth_n and_o initiation_n the_o lord_n supper_n of_o our_o growth_n and_o conservation_n in_o the_o visible_a body_n of_o christ_n and_o if_o a_o man_n may_v be_v conceive_v to_o have_v a_o be_v for_o a_o time_n in_o a_o visible_a church_n without_o baptism_n the_o sign_n and_o sacrament_n of_o his_o entrance_n and_o initiation_n he_o may_v have_v a_o continuance_n there_o also_o and_o so_o consequent_o baptism_n needless_a but_o baptism_n be_v needful_a as_o a_o mean_n of_o the_o begin_n of_o our_o visible_a be_v in_o the_o visible_a body_n of_o christ_n ergo_fw-la without_o baptism_n they_o have_v no_o visible_a be_v in_o the_o church_n and_o so_o baptism_n be_v the_o form_n of_o it_o i_o answer_v first_o he_o say_v baptism_n be_v a_o sign_n and_o sacrament_n of_o the_o begin_n of_o our_o visible_a be_v in_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n then_o say_v i_o it_o be_v not_o the_o beginning_n itself_o of_o our_o visible_a be_v in_o the_o body_n the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v be_v real_o distinct_a the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o and_o the_o thing_n signify_v precede_v the_o sign_n and_o seal_n of_o it_o but_o of_o this_o before_o second_o he_o plain_o contradict_v himself_o in_o say_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n and_o sacrament_n of_o our_o entrance_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o visible_a be_v in_o the_o church_n without_o baptism_n three_o where_o he_o say_v if_o a_o man_n may_v have_v a_o be_v for_o a_o time_n without_o baptism_n then_o may_v he_o have_v a_o continuance_n also_o it_o follow_v not_o for_o they_o have_v a_o be_v in_o the_o jewish_a state_n before_o they_o be_v circumcise_v but_o circumcision_n be_v not_o needless_a neither_o shall_v they_o have_v continue_v in_o that_o state_n without_o circumcision_n again_o as_o the_o male_n have_v a_o be_v and_o continue_a member_n of_o that_o church_n seven_o day_n so_o if_o god_n have_v not_o command_v they_o to_o be_v circumcise_v the_o eight_o day_n but_o leave_v it_o to_o their_o own_o will_n they_o shall_v have_v continue_v visible_a member_n without_o it_o always_o as_o woman_n do_v be_v not_o command_v abraham_n and_o his_o family_n fourteen_o year_n and_o they_o in_o the_o

2.10_o 11._o and_o it_o be_v calvin_n observation_n concern_v the_o libertine_n and_o anabaptist_n in_o his_o time_n the_o lord_n say_v he_o never_o suffer_v a_o wicked_a man_n to_o fall_v into_o a_o

of_o so_o many_o godly_a christian_n partly_o through_o the_o want_n of_o settle_a and_o able_a minister_n among_o they_o partly_o through_o a_o carelessness_n of_o spirit_n in_o take_v truth_n upon_o
