A78132	A defence of the lavvfulnesse of baptizing infants. As also of the present baptisme, as it hath continued in the severall ages of the world, from John Baptist the first beginner thereof. In way of answer to something written by Iohn Spilsberie against the same.	Barbon, Praisegod, 1596?-1679.	1645 (1645)	Wing B749; Thomason E270_12; ESTC R212355	60,304	74

by_o matter_n fundamental_a and_o how_o the_o receipt_n of_o the_o ordinance_n can_v be_v a_o matter_n fundamental_a when_o the_o person_n may_v not_o only_o be_v matter_n but_o part_n of_o a_o church_n without_o it_o as_o he_o hold_v four_o i_o will_v know_v how_o the_o word_n of_o man_n stand_v in_o the_o place_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o what_o he_o mean_v by_o the_o bare_a word_n of_o man_n in_o this_o matter_n of_o fact_n last_o i_o will_v know_v what_o he_o mean_v by_o true_o receive_v this_o holy_a ordinance_n and_o whether_o he_o hold_v there_o be_v a_o false_a receive_v this_o ordinance_n and_o yet_o the_o ordinance_n holy_a and_o true_a to_o they_o that_o receive_v it_o this_o reason_n as_o it_o be_v set_v down_o i_o take_v to_o be_v something_o like_o a_o spell_n the_o sum_n of_o it_o in_o other_o word_n i_o take_v to_o be_v this_o infant_n be_v not_o to_o be_v baptize_v for_o that_o they_o can_v be_v assure_v when_o they_o come_v to_o year_n that_o they_o be_v baptize_v but_o by_o the_o witness_n of_o man_n and_o if_o that_o fail_v than_o there_o be_v no_o way_n of_o satisfy_v of_o themselves_o that_o they_o be_v at_o all_o baptize_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o i_o will_v not_o much_o strive_v with_o a_o person_n in_o such_o a_o case_n if_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o the_o probablenesse_n of_o his_o not_o be_v at_o all_o baptise_a be_v the_o cause_n that_o move_v he_o to_o desire_v to_o be_v baptise_a especial_o if_o it_o do_v appear_v to_o they_o by_o who_o he_o shall_v seek_v to_o be_v baptise_a that_o he_o have_v not_o be_v baptise_a at_o all_o but_o sure_o this_o be_v far_o from_o the_o case_n in_o question_n wherein_o man_n get_v themselves_o baptize_v not_o that_o they_o think_v they_o be_v not_o baptize_v at_o all_o but_o that_o they_o judge_v it_o be_v not_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n because_o of_o the_o corruption_n in_o the_o subject_n instrument_n or_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o be_v baptize_v which_o make_v the_o matter_n null_n and_o void_a second_o i_o will_v have_v it_o mind_v how_o a_o person_n circumcise_v in_o youth_n can_v be_v assure_v when_o he_o come_v to_o year_n especial_o if_o his_o circumcision_n be_v gather_v and_o grow_v so_o as_o he_o can_v not_o see_v the_o print_n in_o the_o flesh_n for_o this_o reason_n if_o it_o have_v any_o force_n in_o it_o it_o have_v the_o same_o against_o circumcision_n in_o infancy_n as_o against_o baptism_n for_o such_o so_o circumcise_v can_v be_v no_o otherwise_o assure_v then_o such_o a_o way_n as_o will_v come_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o humane_a testimony_n if_o it_o be_v say_v they_o may_v satisfy_v themselves_o by_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o print_n of_o the_o flesh_n i_o answer_v that_o may_v be_v gather_v and_o grow_v so_o as_o not_o to_o be_v see_v and_o again_o if_o it_o be_v not_o that_o fight_n be_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o beside_o they_o may_v be_v mistake_v or_o be_v circumcise_v unlawful_o three_o that_o other_o be_v circumcise_v of_o old_a or_o be_v baptize_v now_o especial_o those_o to_o be_v join_v with_o in_o public_a ordinance_n and_o special_a communion_n now_o how_o can_v the_o israelite_n know_v of_o old_a or_o how_o can_v it_o be_v know_v now_o in_o particular_a how_o will_v i._n s._n to_o put_v the_o case_n to_o himself_o how_o will_v he_o i_o say_v know_v and_o be_v assure_v that_o such_o and_o such_o as_o he_o hold_v communion_n withal_o be_v baptize_v but_o by_o humane_a testimony_n instead_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o he_o say_v he_o must_v take_v their_o own_o word_n in_o their_o own_o case_n whether_o it_o be_v not_o humane_a i_o leave_v it_o to_o he_o to_o judge_v and_o i_o demand_v further_o whether_o upon_o this_o his_o ground_n any_o can_v in_o faith_n join_v in_o fellowship_n and_o special_a communion_n or_o can_v of_o old_a with_o any_o they_o do_v not_o see_v or_o have_v not_o see_v circumcise_v of_o old_a 9_o

this_o city_n and_o i_o not_o see_v it_o do_v where_o be_o i_o then_o by_o his_o ground_n i_o must_v believe_v the_o bare_a word_n of_o man_n in_o stead_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o a_o matter_n alike_o fundamental_a according_a to_o his_o account_n four_o in_o matter_n of_o fact_n i_o judge_v faith_n of_o such_o a_o nature_n as_o we_o have_v now_o in_o hand_n be_v to_o go_v upon_o

as_o here_o express_o the_o word_n the_o bare_a word_n of_o man_n carry_v the_o same_o so_o as_o i_o conclude_v as_o this_o reason_n be_v a_o foolish_a fancy_n so_o it_o premise_v whole_o upon_o
