A39697	Vindiciæ legis & fœderis: or, A reply to Mr. Philip Cary's Solemn call Wherein he pretends to answer all the arguments of Mr. Allen, Mr. Baxter, Mr. Sydenham, Mr. Sedgwick, Mr. Roberts, and Dr. Burthogge, for the right of believers infants to baptism, by proving the law at Sinai, and the covenant of circumcision with Abraham, were the very same with Adam's covenant of works, and that because the gospel-covenant is absolute. By John Flavel minister of the gospel in Dartmouth	Flavel, John, 1630?-1691.	1690 (1690)	Wing F1205A; ESTC R218689	64,584	175

the_o gospel_n col._n 2._o 11_o 12._o 4._o they_o constant_o affirm_v that_o none_o of_o those_o grant_n or_o privilege_n make_v to_o the_o infant-seed_n of_o abraham_n family_n be_v ever_o repeal_v or_o revoke_v by_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n and_o therefore_o believer_n child_n now_o be_v in_o the_o rightful_a possession_n of_o they_o and_o that_o therefore_o there_o need_v no_o new_a command_n or_o promise_n in_o abraham_n command_n we_o find_v our_o duty_n to_o sign_n our_o child_n with_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o in_o abraham_n promise_n we_o find_v god_n gracious_a grant_n to_o our_o child_n as_o well_o as_o he_o especial_o since_o the_o apostle_n direct_v we_o in_o this_o very_a respect_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o god_n with_o abraham_n act_v 2._o 38_o 39_o these_o sir_n be_v the_o principle_n on_o which_o we_o lay_v as_o you_o say_v great_a stress_n and_o which_o to_o this_o day_n you_o have_v never_o be_v able_a to_o shake_v down_o here_o therefore_o you_o attempt_v a_o new_a method_n to_o do_v it_o by_o prove_v this_o covenant_n be_v now_o abolish_v and_o this_o be_v your_o method_n in_o which_o you_o promise_v yourself_o great_a success_n three_o thing_n you_o pretend_v to_o prove_v 1._o that_o the_o sinai_n covenant_n exod._n 20._o 2._o that_o abraham_n covenant_n gen._n 17._o be_v no_o gospel-covenant_n and_o that_o because_o 3._o the_o gospel-covenant_n be_v absolute_a and_o unconditional_a how_o you_o come_v to_o hook_n in_o the_o mosaic_a covenant_n into_o this_o controversy_n be_v not_o very_o evident_a unless_o you_o think_v it_o be_v easy_a for_o you_o to_o prove_v that_o to_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o then_o abraham_n covenant_n gen._n 17._o be_v a_o old_a testament_n covenant_n be_v the_o more_o easy_o prove_v to_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n i_o be_o oblige_v to_o examine_v your_o three_o position_n above_o note_a and_o if_o i_o evidence_n to_o the_o world_n the_o falsity_n of_o they_o the_o cause_n you_o manage_n be_v so_o far_o lose_v and_o the_o right_n of_o believer_n infant_n to_o baptism_n stand_v firm_a upon_o its_o old_a and_o sure_a foundation_n i_o begin_v therefore_o with_o your_o i_o position_n that_o the_o covenant_n make_v with_o israel_n on_o mount_n sinai_n be_v the_o very_a same_o covenant_n of_o work_n make_v with_o adam_n in_o innocency_n p._n 122._o and_o divers_a other_o place_n of_o your_o book_n the_o very_a same_o now_o if_o i_o prove_v that_o this_o assertion_n of_o you_o do_v natural_o and_o regular_o draw_v many_o false_a and_o absurd_a consequent_n upon_o you_o which_o you_o be_v and_o must_v be_v force_v to_o own_o then_o this_o your_o position_n can_v be_v true_a for_o from_o true_a premise_n nothing_o but_o truth_n can_v natural_o and_o regular_o follow_v but_o i_o shall_v make_v it_o plain_a to_o you_o that_o this_o your_o position_n regular_o draw_v many_o false_a conclusion_n and_o gross_a absurdity_n upon_o you_o some_o of_o which_o you_o own_o express_o and_o other_o you_o as_o good_a as_o own_o be_v able_a to_o return_v nothing_o rational_a or_o satisfactory_a in_o your_o own_o defence_n against_o they_o 1._o from_o this_o assertion_n that_o the_o sinai_n covenant_n be_v a_o pure_a covenant_n of_o work_n the_o very_a same_o with_o adam_n covenant_n it_o regular_o and_o necessary_o follow_v that_o either_o moses_n and_o all_o israel_n be_v damn_v there_o be_v no_o salvation_n possible_a to_o be_v attain_v by_o that_o first_o covenant_n or_o else_o that_o there_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n at_o the_o same_o time_n run_v parallel_n with_o that_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o so_o the_o elect_a people_n of_o god_n be_v at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n under_o the_o first_o as_o a_o covenant_n of_o death_n and_o condemnation_n and_o under_o the_o second_o as_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o justification_n this_o dilemma_n pinch_v you_o to_o assert_v that_o moses_n and_o all_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n under_o that_o dispensation_n be_v damn_v you_o dare_v not_o and_o if_o you_o have_v you_o must_v have_v expunge_v the_o 11_o chapter_n to_o the_o hebrew_n and_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n together_o with_o all_o your_o hope_n of_o sit_v down_o with_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n the_o latter_a therefore_o see_v you_o can_v avoid_v you_o be_v force_v upon_o and_o in_o plain_a word_n yield_v it_o p._n 174_o 175._o that_o moses_n and_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n without_o exception_n of_o any_o be_v under_o yea_o absolute_o under_o the_o severe_a penalty_n of_o a_o dreadful_a curse_n that_o the_o covenant_n they_o be_v under_o can_v be_v no_o other_o than_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n a_o ministration_n of_o death_n and_o condemnation_n when_o yet_o it_o be_v also_o evident_a from_o the_o same_o holy_a scripture_n of_o truth_n that_o at_o the_o same_o time_n both_o moses_n and_o all_o the_o elect_a among_o that_o people_n be_v under_o a_o pure_a covenant_n of_o gospel-grace_n and_o that_o these_o two_o covenant_n be_v just_o opposite_a the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o but_o to_o this_o you_o have_v nothing_o to_o say_v but_o with_o the_o apostle_n in_o another_o case_n o_o the_o depth_n here_o sir_n you_o father_n a_o pure_a and_o perfect_a contradiction_n upon_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o it_o speak_v thing_n just_o opposite_a and_o contradictory_n the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o and_o of_o necessity_n one_o part_n or_o member_n of_o a_o contradiction_n must_v be_v false_a this_o all_o the_o rational_a world_n know_v but_o so_o it_o be_v say_v you_o and_o fly_v to_o the_o infinite_a wisdom_n to_o reconcile_v they_o for_o you_o say_v you_o know_v not_o what_o to_o say_v to_o it_o just_o so_o the_o papist_n serve_v we_o in_o the_o controversy_n about_o transubstantiation_n when_o they_o can_v reconcile_v one_o thing_n with_o another_o they_o fly_v to_o the_o omnipotent_a power_n to_o do_v it_o but_o sir_n i_o wonder_v how_o you_o hold_v and_o hug_v a_o principle_n that_o run_v natural_o into_o such_o gross_a absurdity_n do_v you_o see_v what_o follow_v from_o hence_o by_o unavoidable_a consequence_n you_o must_v according_a to_o this_o principle_n hold_v that_o moses_n and_o all_o god_n peculiar_a elect_a people_n in_o israel_n must_v during_o their_o life_n hang_v midway_n between_o justification_n and_o condemnation_n and_o after_o death_n between_o heaven_n and_o hell_n 1._o during_o life_n they_o must_v hang_v midway_n between_o justification_n and_o condemnation_n justify_v they_o can_v not_o be_v for_o justification_n be_v the_o soul_n pass_v from_o death_n to_o life_n 1_o john_n 3._o 14._o john_n 5._o 24._o this_o they_o can_v not_o possible_o do_v for_o the_o ministration_n of_o death_n and_o condemnation_n hinder_v he_o that_o be_v under_o condemnation_n by_o the_o law_n can_v during_o that_o state_n pass_v into_o life_n and_o yet_o to_o be_v under_o condemnation_n be_v as_o impossible_a on_o the_o other_o side_n for_o he_o that_o be_v justify_v can_v at_o the_o same_o time_n be_v under_o condemnation_n rom._n 8._o 1._o john_n 5._o 24._o what_o remain_v then_o but_o that_o during_o life_n they_o must_v stick_v midway_n betwixt_o both_o neither_o justify_v nor_o condemn_v and_o yet_o both_o so_o and_o so_o justification_n be_v our_o life_n and_o condemnation_n our_o death_n in_o law_n betwixt_o these_o two_o which_o be_v privative_o oppose_v there_o can_v be_v no_o medium_fw-la of_o participation_n and_o yet_o such_o a_o medium_fw-la you_fw-mi here_o fancy_n 2._o and_o then_o after_o death_n they_o must_v necessary_o hang_v betwixt_o heaven_n and_o hell_n to_o heaven_n none_o can_v go_v that_o be_v under_o the_o very_a rigour_n and_o tyranny_n of_o the_o law_n a_o pure_a covenant_n of_o work_n as_o you_o say_v they_o be_v to_o hell_n they_o can_v not_o go_v be_v under_o the_o pure_a covenant_n of_o grace_n what_o remain_v then_o but_o some_o three_o state_n must_v be_v assign_v they_o and_o so_o at_o last_o we_o have_v find_v the_o limbus_n patrum_fw-la and_o your_o position_n lead_v we_o right_o to_o purgatory_n a_o conclusion_n which_o i_o believe_v you_o yourself_o abhor_v as_o much_o as_o i_o 2ly_n this_o hypothesis_n pinch_v you_o with_o another_o
