A85422	VVater-dipping no firm footing for Church-communion: or Considerations proving it not simply lawful, but necessary also (in point of duty) for persons baptized after the new mode of dipping, to continue communion with those churches, or imbodied societies of saints, of which they were members before the said dipping; and that to betray their trust or faith given unto Jesus Christ to serve him in the relation and capacity, whether of officers, or other members, in these churches (respectively) by deserting these churches, is a sin highly provoking in the sight of God. Together with a post-script touching the pretended Answer to the Forty queries about Church-communion, infant and after baptism. By John Goodwin, a servant of God in the Gospel of his dear Son.

do_v among_o we_o nor_o can_v any_o man_n tolerable_o imagine_v have_v the_o precept_n of_o god_n concerning_o circumcision_n under_o the_o law_n be_v like_o to_o have_v occasion_v as_o many_o

that_o the_o scripture_n be_v every_o whit_n as_o express_v for_o baptism_n to_o precede_v the_o enjoyment_n of_o church_n privilege_n as_o it_o be_v for_o a_o voluntary_a consent_n to_o church_n

the_o scripture_n may_v be_v express_a enough_o for_o baptism_n to_o precede_v the_o enjoyment_n he_o speak_v of_o i_o e._n that_o baptism_n do_v sometime_o precede_v this_o enjoyment_n and_o may_v

universal_a necessity_n of_o such_o a_o precedure_n which_o be_v the_o point_n wherewith_o the_o query_n before_o he_o pinch_v he_o 3._o and_o last_o the_o scripture_n may_v be_v as_o express_v for_o what_o he_o say_v it_o be_v as_o for_o a_o voluntary_a consent_n to_o church_n order_n etc._n etc._n and_o yet_o be_v neither_o express_a nor_o yet_o virtual_a or_o consequential_a for_o it_o for_o

although_o the_o sense_n of_o other_o of_o we_o be_v otherwise_o in_o the_o case_n and_o 10._o how_o impertinent_a to_o his_o cause_n be_v this_o reason_n if_o one_o person_n may_v be_v admit_v upon_o such_o term_n he_o mean_v to_o church-privilege_n without_o baptism_n then_o why_o not_o two_o if_o two_o why_o not_o ten_o and_o so_o a_o hundred_o or_o a_o thousand_o and_o consequent_o such_o

as_o that_o which_o be_v contrary_a thereunto_o but_o at_o what_o a_o distance_n do_v his_o proof_n stand_v from_o his_o position_n as_o if_o they_o be_v mere_a stranger_n to_o it_o for_o 1._o his_o
