A74998	Some baptismal abuses briefly discovered. Or A cordial endeavour to reduce the administration and use of baptism, to its primitive purity; in two parts. The first part, tending to disprove the lawfulness of infant baptism. The second part, tending to prove it necessary for persons to be baptized after they believe, their infant baptism, or any pre-profession of the Gospel notwithstanding. As also, discovering the disorder and irregularity that is in mixt communion of persons baptized, with such as are unbaptized, in church-fellowship. By William Allen.

verse_n of_o act_n 19_o do_v plain_o declare_v that_o john_n when_o he_o baptize_v do_v say_v unto_o the_o people_n that_o they_o shall_v believe_v on_o he_o that_o shall_v come_v after_o he_o which_o paul_n indeed_o do_v here_o interpret_v to_o these_o disciple_n to_o be_v mean_v of_o christ_n jesus_n but_o if_o john_n have_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n explicit_o why_o

of_o it_o to_o inform_v they_o of_o that_o of_o which_o they_o can_v not_o be_v ignorant_a viz._n that_o they_o be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n jesus_n if_o there_o fore_o we_o will_v take_v the_o true_a scope_n and_o meaning_n of_o this_o passage_n of_o scripture_n we_o must_v i_o conceive_v understand_v it_o thus_o 1._o that_o these_o disciple_n have_v be_v baptize_v unto_o john_n baptism_n be_v baptize_v into_o one_o as_o yet_o to_o come_v and_o to_o be_v make_v manifest_a unto_o the_o world_n according_a to_o john_n accustom_a manner_n on_o this_o behalf_n 2._o that_o paul_n do_v now_o open_a and_o declare_v to_o they_o who_o that_o be_v that_o john_n say_v be_v to_o come_v after_o he_o and_o that_o he_o do_v declare_v he_o to_o they_o now_o not_o as_o one_o to_o come_v but_o as_o one_o already_o come_v for_o so_o that_o short_a expository_n say_v of_o paul_n here_o that_o be_v on_o christ_n jesus_n do_v import_v as_o contain_v the_o subject_a matter_n of_o paul_n discourse_n then_o and_o then_o 3._o that_o these_o disciple_n hear_v understand_a and_o believe_v this_o viz._n that_o he_o who_o be_v call_v jesus_n christ_n be_v he_o that_o be_v now_o come_v and_o have_v suffer_v death_n etc._n etc._n and_o be_v he_o who_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n do_v then_o point_n at_o more_o obscure_o as_o one_o that_o be_v to_o come_v though_o not_o then_o personal_o and_o by_o name_n know_v among_o the_o people_n i_o say_v upon_o their_o hear_n and_o believe_v this_o they_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n as_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v that_o messiah_n into_o the_o expectation_n of_o who_o they_o have_v former_o be_v baptize_v and_o so_o we_o come_v to_o the_o three_o thing_n which_o we_o be_v to_o inquire_v into_o out_o of_o this_o contexture_n of_o scripture_n and_o that_o be_v why_o or_o for_o what_o reason_n it_o may_v be_v conceive_v that_o these_o disciple_n be_v now_o bapt_v say_fw-mi again_o upon_o the_o hear_n of_o paul_n when_o as_o they_o have_v be_v baptize_v unto_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n former_o and_o the_o reason_n hereof_o must_v be_v either_o 1._o because_o that_o though_o these_o disciple_n have_v be_v baptize_v by_o john_n unto_o the_o messiah_n that_o be_v then_o to_o come_v after_o he_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o sufficient_a when_o once_o they_o come_v to_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o jesus_n the_o son_n of_o mary_n to_o be_v that_o messiah_n but_o that_o notwithstanding_o this_o they_o be_v then_o to_o be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n jesus_n as_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v that_o messiah_n indeed_o which_o before_o they_o do_v expect_v or_o else_o 2._o because_o there_o be_v some_o error_n commit_v in_o the_o administration_n and_o reception_n of_o their_o baptism_n and_o other_o reason_n then_o these_o i_o think_v will_v not_o light_o present_v themselves_o to_o any_o man_n mind_n for_o the_o former_a of_o these_o some_o indeed_o have_v conceive_v that_o such_o who_o be_v baptize_v by_o john_n unto_o he_o that_o be_v to_o come_v not_o yet_o know_v he_o personal_o be_v afterward_o baptize_v again_o when_o they_o come_v to_o acknowledge_v jesus_n the_o son_n of_o mary_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n and_o true_o this_o opinion_n be_v not_o altogether_o to_o be_v despise_v in_o as_o much_o as_o there_o be_v a_o appearance_n
