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.

soul_n may_v be_v save_v for_o all_o that_o yet_o it_o be_v of_o very_o dangerous_a consequence_n to_o slight_a or_o contemn_v any_o ordinance_n of_o god_n it_o be_v damnable_a of_o itself_o without_o

when_o he_o come_v to_o age_n refuse_v to_o be_v circumcise_v and_o so_o he_o break_v the_o covenant_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o the_o people_n and_o why_o may_v not_o this_o be_v a_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o parent_n neglect_v of_o the_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n which_o be_v come_v in_o the_o place_n of_o circumcision_n and_o if_o the_o lord_n be_v so_o severe_a with_o those_o that_o be_v not_o circumcise_v which_o be_v a_o heavy_a burden_n for_o infant_n to_o bear_v see_v ezod_a 4.26_o how_o much_o more_o now_o baptism_n be_v come_v in_o

they_o expect_v to_o have_v they_o answer_v for_o themselves_o they_o may_v just_o answer_v with_o contempt_n and_o despise_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o so_o for_o ever_o be_v cut_v off_o

infant_n can_v be_v know_v to_o we_o that_o they_o be_v indeed_o the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o if_o they_o be_v not_o say_v they_o we_o may_v not_o to_o baptize_v they_o i_o answer_v the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o man_n of_o year_n for_o we_o know_v not_o certain_o whether_o they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n or_o no_o therefore_o by_o this_o argument_n we_o may_v not_o only_o exclude_v infant_n from_o baptism_n but_o man_n of_o year_n yea_o all_o sex_n and_o age_n from_o both_o sacrament_n and_o so_o admit_v of_o none_o at_o all_o into_o the_o church_n of_o god_n but_o to_o come_v a_o little_a near_o to_o they_o do_v they_o believe_v that_o the_o patent_n be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o in_o covenant_n with_o he_o then_o they_o ought_v to_o believe_v the_o same_o of_o their_o child_n till_o they_o manifest_v by_o their_o wicked_a life_n to_o the_o contrary_n for_o be_v god_n the_o god_n of_o the_o parent_n and_o not_o the_o god_n of_o their_o seed_n this_o be_v flat_a against_o the_o tenor_n of_o the_o covenant_n therefore_o if_o the_o child_n have_v a_o right_n to_o the_o covenant_n he_o must_v needs_o have_v a_o right_n to_o the_o seal_n of_o it_o second_o they_o object_v that_o infant_n have_v no_o faith_n and_o therefore_o baptism_n be_v of_o no_o use_n to_o they_o i_o answer_v they_o may_v have_v the_o seed_n of_o faith_n and_o regeneration_n although_o we_o know_v it_o not_o for_o without_o faith_n it_o be_v unpossible_a to_o please_v god_n heb._n 11.6_o and_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v mar._n 16.16_o but_o howsoever_o they_o have_v a_o enfold_v faith_n because_o that_o their_o parent_n by_o their_o faith_n receive_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n both_o for_o themselves_o and_o their_o child_n so_o that_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o parent_n be_v also_o the_o faith_n of_o their_o child_n and_o th●●●_n to_o be_v bear_v of_o christian_a parent_n and_o in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o stead_n of_o the_o profession_n of_o faith_n and_o so_o it_o will_v be_v useful_a and_o profitable_a for_o infant_n to_o be_v baptize_v three_o they_o will_v object_v that_o infant_n know_v not_o what_o be_v do_v when_o they_o be_v baptize_v i_o answer_v no_o more_o do_v those_o infant_n that_o be_v circumcise_v yet_o it_o be_v useful_a to_o they_o and_o their_o parent_n both_o to_o have_v the_o covenant_n

rejoice_v in_o the_o great_a love_n of_o god_n that_o shall_v vouchsafe_v to_o take_v they_o into_o covenant_n and_o seal_v so_o many_o gracious_a promise_n unto_o they_o in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptisine_n which_o will_v be_v a_o engagement_n to_o they_o all_o their_o day_n to_o endeavour_v to_o keep_v the_o condition_n of_o it_o four_o they_o will_v object_v that_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o infant_n be_v such_o that_o the_o coldness_n of_o the_o water_n to_o be_v dive_v into_o it_o may_v be_v the_o death_n of_o the_o infant_n therefore_o say_v they_o it_o be_v better_a to_o let_v

that_o dip_v the_o child_n do_v more_o resemble_v our_o spiritual_a wash_n for_o say_v the_o apostle_n we_o be_v bury_v with_o he_o by_o baptism_n into_o his_o death_n that_o like_a as_o christ_n be_v
