B23662 The controversie about infants church-membership and baptism, epitomized in two treatises the first, shewing the certainty of the salvation of all dying infants, against the doctrine of the Pædo-baptists, who deny salvation to all infants that die unbaptized, either directly, or by the natural consequence of their arguments : the second, being a plain confutation of Mr. J.B. his second book of more than 60 queries, about infants church-membership and baptism, by a proportionable number of antiqueries : being an essay towards a more Christian accomodation between the Pædo-baptists, and the baptized believers, published for that happy end / by Thomas Grantham. Grantham, Thomas, 1634-1692.; Grantham, Thomas, 1634-1692. Querist examined. 1680 (1680) Wing G1529 50,899 65

lord_n adam_n the_o law_n enter_v that_o sin_n may_v abound_v but_o where_o sin_n abound_v grace_n do_v much_o more_o abound_v that_o as_o sin_n have_v reign_v unto_o death_n even_o so_o may_v grace_n reign_v through_o righteousness_n unto_o eternal_a life_n by_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n you_o can_v no_o more_o exclude_v any_o from_o the_o justification_n of_o life_n as_o have_v abound_v towards_o they_o by_o christ_n than_o you_o can_v exclude_v they_o from_o the_o condemnation_n which_o abound_v towards_o all_o man_n by_o the_o first_o adam_n for_o tell_v i_o how_o many_o come_v under_o condemnation_n by_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n be_v there_o any_o or_o any_o infant_n that_o can_v plead_v impunity_n why_o even_o so_o say_v the_o apostle_n the_o free-gift_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n to_o justification_n of_o life_n and_o may_v we_o not_o now_o safe_o conclude_v that_o have_v mankind_n never_o be_v guilty_a of_o any_o other_o sin_n but_o that_o i_o say_v upon_o a_o supposition_n that_o adam_n and_o his_o posterity_n have_v from_o the_o time_n of_o the_o promise_n gen._n 3._o 15._o live_v holy_o and_o do_v no_o iniquity_n will_v you_o not_o conclude_v with_o i_o that_o none_o shall_v have_v perish_v in_o hellish_a torment_n and_o if_o you_o grant_v this_o than_o we_o must_v either_o find_v some_o man_n so_o concern_v in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n as_o that_o if_o he_o sin_v against_o it_o his_o posterity_n be_v condemn_v with_o he_o eternal_o as_o all_o adam_n posterity_n be_v expose_v to_o condemnation_n for_o his_o sin_n or_o else_o we_o must_v hold_v that_o no_o infant_n shall_v die_v eternal_o for_o adam_n nor_o for_o any_o other_o person_n iniquity_n if_o you_o name_v any_o man_n thus_o concern_v in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n you_o can_v name_v none_o so_o apt_a for_o the_o purpose_n as_o adam_n see_v we_o be_v all_o in_o he_o when_o that_o covenant_n be_v make_v with_o he_o and_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o he_o sin_v after_o the_o covenant_n be_v make_v gen._n 3._o 15._o yet_o where_o do_v we_o find_v any_o sin_n which_o he_o afterward_o commit_v impute_v to_o any_o part_n of_o his_o posterity_n and_o see_v we_o can_v prove_v a_o universal_a resurrection_n from_o 1_o cor._n 15._o 21_o 22._o unless_o mankind_n be_v equal_o concern_v in_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n we_o must_v necessary_o believe_v whole_a mankind_n to_o be_v interest_v in_o he_o and_o as_o they_o be_v interest_v in_o christ_n they_o be_v save_v of_o the_o lord_n and_o in_o he_o they_o be_v as_o clear_o interest_v in_o god_n mercy_n as_o they_o be_v object_n of_o his_o wrath_n by_o the_o first_o man_n so_o be_v justify_v from_o the_o guilt_n of_o adam_n transgression_n who_o shall_v lay_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o charge_n of_o poor_a infant_n that_o may_v just_o cast_v they_o into_o hell_n fire_n sure_o it_o be_v but_o meet_a man_n shall_v be_v able_a plain_o to_o convict_v they_o before_o they_o thus_o condemn_v they_o yea_o you_o that_o hold_v the_o eternal_a damnation_n of_o infant_n ought_v you_o not_o to_o bring_v substantial_a proof_n for_o so_o dreadful_a a_o doctrine_n and_o when_o you_o have_v do_v your_o worst_a that_o way_n you_o have_v only_o destroy_v your_o own_o certainty_n of_o comfort_n concern_v your_o die_a infant_n for_o i_o be_o persuade_v you_o be_v not_o so_o unwise_a to_o think_v whatever_o you_o make_v other_o believe_v that_o your_o infant_n be_v therefore_o save_v because_o of_o your_o pretend_a church-membership_n and_o baptism_n see_v it_o be_v too_o evident_a that_o

difficulty_n answ_n although_o it_o be_v not_o unjust_a for_o god_n to_o take_v infant_n out_o of_o the_o world_n yet_o his_o justice_n in_o destroy_v the_o old_a world_n and_o sodom_n lay_v not_o against_o the_o infant_n as_o i_o prove_v in_o the_o section_n next_o before_n but_o in_o justice_n he_o punish_v those_o wicked_a parent_n in_o put_v a_o period_n to_o their_o posterity_n do_v not_o

of_o the_o field_n god_n be_v just_a in_o take_v away_o david_n child_n 2_o sam_n 12._o 14_o yet_o who_o so_o rash_a to_o say_v that_o god_n do_v this_o in_o point_n of_o justice_n against_o the_o child_n or_o that_o god_n be_v angry_a with_o the_o child_n much_o less_o that_o the_o child_n be_v damn_v david_n be_v far_o from_o any_o such_o opinion_n for_o though_o that_o child_n be_v conceive_v and_o bear_v in_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n as_o much_o as_o well_o can_v be_v and_o doubtless_o have_v the_o imputation_n of_o original_a sin_n as_o much_o as_o any_o yet_o david_n nothing_o fear_v that_o child_n damnation_n but_o rather_o intimate_v his_o confidence_n of_o its_o salvation_n when_o he_o say_v i_o shall_v go_v to_o it_o for_o have_v it_o go_v to_o hell_n torment_v he_o will_v not_o have_v comfort_v himself_o with_o thought_n of_o go_v to_o it_o i_o can_v make_v your_o speech_n to_o agree_v with_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n where_o you_o say_v that_o infant_n perish_v not_o pure_o for_o another_o sin_n but_o for_o their_o own_o contract_a for_o though_o i_o can_v hear_v man_n talk_v big_a word_n against_o infant_n as_o if_o they_o be_v little_o better_a than_o devil_n yet_o i_o never_o see_v any_o proof_n that_o any_o infant_n have_v any_o sin_n of_o its_o own_o for_o which_o you_o will_v here_o make_v they_o perish_v or_o at_o least_o some_o of_o they_o the_o scripture_n say_v sin_n be_v the_o transgression_n of_o a_o law_n and_o tell_v we_o also_o that_o where_o no_o law_n be_v there_o be_v no_o transgression_n you_o must_v therefore_o either_o show_v some_o law_n to_o be_v give_v to_o infant_n or_o else_o you_o can_v make_v they_o guilty_a of_o any_o sin_n of_o their_o own_o and_o though_o i_o have_v not_o see_v mr._n baxter_n book_n to_o which_o you_o refer_v i_o yet_o i_o do_v not_o deny_v original_a sin_n for_o i_o know_v it_o be_v come_v upon_o all_o adam_n posterity_n and_o death_n pass_v upon_o they_o for_o that_o all_o have_v sin_v in_o he_o howbeit_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o all_o infant_n be_v as_o clear_o justify_v from_o the_o condemn_a power_n of_o sin_n in_o respect_n of_o damnation_n as_o any_o saint_n whatsoever_o which_o i_o think_v i_o have_v also_o prove_v from_o john_n 1._o 29._o and_o other_o place_n and_o see_v you_o now_o grant_v that_o none_o shall_v perish_v pure_o for_o another_o sin_n it_o remain_v for_o you_o to_o show_v what_o sin_n except_v adam_n be_v come_v upon_o any_o infant_n to_o render_v he_o subject_a to_o damnation_n you_o talk_v of_o their_o contract_n sin_n of_o their_o own_o but_o i_o be_o to_o learn_v how_o this_o can_v be_v true_o say_v of_o they_o that_o neither_o act_n nor_o consent_n to_o sin_n at_o all_o and_o sure_o such_o scriptureless_a notion_n be_v fit_a to_o be_v explode_v than_o embrace_v and_o though_o you_o seem_v to_o have_v some_o charity_n for_o those_o and_o their_o seed_n that_o only_o come_v up_o to_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n make_v with_o adam_n and_o noah_n though_o they_o never_o hear_v the_o gospel_n whilst_o you_o say_v you_o do_v not_o rank_v they_o with_o infidel_n yet_o this_o be_v but_o a_o slender_a kindness_n you_o do_v not_o say_v they_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o you_o be_v positive_a in_o this_o that_o infant_n be_v not_o save_v by_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n if_o they_o neither_o be_v believer_n nor_o the_o seed_n of_o such_o page_z 17._o how_o this_o doctrine_n will_v stand_v with_o the_o justice_n of_o a_o gracious_a god_n i_o can_v conceive_v when_o i_o consider_v that_o god_n have_v neither_o give_v to_o infant_n a_o capacity_n to_o believe_v nor_o any_o liberty_n to_o choose_v whether_o they_o will_v be_v the_o seed_n of_o believer_n or_o unbeliever_n will_v you_o yet_o say_v the_o most_o high_a will_v be_v more_o harsh_a in_o the_o act_n of_o justice_n than_o the_o rule_n will_v bear_v which_o he_o have_v give_v to_o man_n deut._n 22._o 25_o 26_o it_o be_v not_o the_o
