A77739	A confutation of the Anabaptists, and all others who affect not civill government; proving the lawfullnesse of it: and a full answer to all their cavills, that are, or can be made against it. With a nut-cracker for an unnaturall nut, whose shell is as hard as the scales of Leviathan, and the kernell of his heart as hard as a piece of the nether mill-stone, Iob 41.15.24. yet the hammer of Gods word that breaketh in pieces the rocks, Ier. 23.29. will break this nut, that all may see the devillish kernell that is in it. Also arguments against the Anabaptists, proving that infants borne of Christian parents ought to be baptized: with a full answer to all their cavills that are (or can be) made against it.

word_n of_o god_n preach_v unto_o they_o yet_o they_o may_v have_v a_o work_n upon_o they_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o make_v they_o to_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n and_o to_o have_v right_a to_o the_o seal_n of_o it_o which_o be_v baptism_n ten_o they_o object_v other_o difference_n to_o small_a purpose_n between_o baptism_n and_o circumcision_n they_o say_v that_o baptism_n have_v relation_n to_o the_o first_o day_n of_o our_o spiritual_a battle_n but_o circumcision_n to_o the_o eight_o day_n when_o mortification_n be_v end_v and_o by_o &_o by_o they_o fall_v soul_n upon_o themselves_o and_o break_v the_o neck_n of_o their_o own_o argument_n say_v that_o circumcision_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o the_o flesh_n to_o be_v mortify_v and_o baptism_n they_o call_v burial_n into_o which_o none_o can_v be_v put_v till_o they_o be_v already_o dead_a so_o that_o it_o be_v enough_o and_o sufficient_a to_o confute_v they_o in_o name_v their_o own_o contradiction_n but_o let_v they_o know_v that_o ●ortification_n be_v a_o continue_a action_n all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n and_o the_o more_o we_o ●●●●ease_v ●n_v knowledge_n the_o more_o we_o increase_v in_o sorrow_n eccle._n 1.18_o for_o we_o ●ayly_o find_v more_o sin_n to_o be_v mortify_v and_o circumcision_n be_v not_o defer_v till_o the_o ●th_z day_n because_o that_o shall_v be_v the_o last_o day_n of_o mortification_n but_o god_n in_o great_a mercy_n to_o the_o infant_n do_v forbear_v the_o first_o seven_o day_n because_o they_o be_v hold_v to_o be_v most_o dangerous_a as_o also_o that_o it_o may_v have_v a_o little_a more_o strength_n to_o undergo_v so_o hard_a a_o service_n and_o also_o it_o be_v to_o typify_v our_o saviour_n resurrection_n another_o silly_a cavil_n they_o will_v make_v that_o if_o we_o thus_o compare_v baptism_n with_o circumcision_n then_o say_v they_o none_o but_o male_n ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v and_o yet_o say_v they_o you_o baptize_v female_n i_o answer_v circumcision_n be_v

the_o child_n be_v holy_a 1_o cor._n 7.14_o thus_o than_o we_o see_v the_o agreement_n between_o circumcision_n and_o baptism_n in_o the_o inward_a mystery_n and_o in_o the_o promise_n in_o the_o use_n and_o in_o the_o efficacy_n of_o they_o then_o why_o may_v not_o infant_n now_o be_v baptize_v aswell_o as_o they_o be_v circumcise_v it_o be_v far_o easy_a to_o they_o to_o bear_v it_o 11thly_o they_o object_v that_o infant_n understand_v not_o the_o thing_n there_o signify_v which_o be_v their_o spiritual_a regeneration_n this_o say_v they_o can_v be_v in_o their_o tender_a infancy_n therefore_o they_o be_v to_o be_v take_v for_o no_o other_o than_o the_o child_n of_o adam_n till_o they_o be_v grow_v to_o age_n meet_v for_o a_o second_o birth_n i_o answer_v if_o they_o have_v the_o seed_n of_o faith_n and_o regeneration_n wrought_v in_o truth_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o their_o soul_n although_o the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o be_v hide_v both_o from_o themselves_o and_o from_o we_o it_o be_v too_o weak_a a_o argument_n to_o deprive_v they_o of_o the_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n for_o sometime_o the_o strong_a christian_n may_v think_v himself_o a_o castaway_n and_o that_o he_o for_o the_o present_a have_v not_o one_o dram_n of_o true_a save_a grace_n as_o yet_o wrought_v in_o he_o but_o must_v we_o judge_v he_o to_o be_v so_o because_o he_o himself_o for_o the_o present_n can_v see_v it_o to_o be_v otherwise_o so_o then_o must_v we_o judge_v all_o infant_n to_o be_v in_o old_a adam_n because_o they_o themselves_o be_v not_o capable_a to_o understand_v their_o own_o condition_n if_o they_o be_v in_o old_a adam_n they_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o death_n and_o damnation_n and_o if_o they_o shall_v then_o die_v they_o must_v needs_o be_v damn_v for_o in_o adam_n all_o dye_n 1_o cor._n 15.22_o but_o will_v these_o man_n leave_v they_o in_o that_o condition_n what_o be_v this_o but_o as_o i_o say_v before_o to_o esteem_v the_o precious_a son_n of_o zion_n comparable_a to_o fine_a gold_n to_o be_v but_o earthen_a pitcher_n these_o be_v more_o cruel_a than_o sea_n monster_n to_o their_o young_a one_o like_o the_o ostrich_n in_o the_o

unto_o her_o understanding_n job_n 39.16.17_o christ_n call_v they_o unto_o he_o because_o he_o be_v life_n and_o that_o they_o may_v have_v life_n in_o they_o and_o these_o people_n drive_v they_o from_o he_o and_o adjudge_v they_o to_o death_n neither_o will_v they_o bring_v they_o to_o christ_n that_o they_o may_v have_v life_n they_o will_v not_o use_v the_o mean_n to_o have_v they_o ingraft_v into_o christ_n that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v deliver_v from_o the_o bondage_n of_o death_n they_o deprive_v they_o of_o all_o salvation_n in_o debar_v they_o from_o the_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n but_o they_o will_v demand_v how_o infant_n can_v be_v regenerate_v which_o have_v neither_o knowledge_n of_o good_a nor_o evil_a i_o answer_v god_n be_v able_a to_o work_v the_o seed_n of_o

can_v it_o be_v avoid_v for_o we_o be_v all_o shape_a in_o iniquity_n and_o in_o sin_n we_o be_v conceive_v psa_n 51.5_o we_o be_v all_o by_o nature_n child_n of_o wrath_n than_o those_o infant_n that_o die_v must_v be_v free_v from_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o from_o the_o guilt_n of_o original_a sin_n or_o else_o they_o can_v be_v save_v but_o here_o be_v our_o comfort_n god_n can_v sanctify_v jeremiah_n in_o the_o womb_n &_o he_o can_v give_v john_n the_o baptist_n the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n from_o the_o womb_n and_o why_o not_o our_o infant_n aswell_o as_o they_o christ_n be_v conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o womb_n that_o he_o may_v sanctify_v his_o elect_a in_o every_o age_n aswell_o at_o the_o first_o hour_n of_o their_o life_n as_o at_o the_o last_o if_o he_o please_v so_o then_o elect_v child_n shall_v be_v make_v holy_a and_o regenerate_v before_o they_o depart_v this_o life_n and_o although_o the_o word_n preach_v be_v the_o

other_o in_o case_n that_o can_v be_v have_v as_o among_o turk_n and_o pagan_n nor_o receive_v by_o infant_n yet_o we_o must_v not_o limit_v the_o holy_a one_o of_o israel_n nor_o tie_v he_o to_o ordinary_a mean_n in_o extraordinary_a case_n 12._o but_o they_o object_v that_o baptism_n be_v a_o sacrament_n of_o repentance_n and_o of_o faith_n which_o can_v be_v in_o infant_n and_o we_o ought_v to_o beware_v lest_o they_o be_v admit_v to_o the_o communion_n of_o baptism_n the_o signification_n of_o it_o be_v make_v void_a i_o answer_v it_o be_v evident_a by_o scripture_n that_o circumcision_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o repentance_n yet_o paul_n call_v it_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n rom._n 4.11_o so_o than_o if_o infant_n among_o the_o jew_n have_v

again_o if_o circumcision_n be_v command_v baptism_n be_v employ_v that_o be_v come_v in_o the_o place_n thereof_o and_o signify_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o institute_v by_o the_o same_o authority_n then_o let_v they_o take_v heed_n how_o they_o rage_n against_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o although_o infant_n that_o be_v circumcise_v have_v no_o actual_a repentance_n yet_o they_o be_v
