A43469	Some plain letters in the defence of infant baptism and of the mode of baptizing (now generally used in the Church of England), which may serve, for a confutation of a small treatise entituled The reason why not infant-sprinkling, but believers-baptism ought to be approved, &c.

steward_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o god_n 1_o cor._n 4.1_o in_o a_o word_n when_o we_o baptize_v we_o do_v in_o god_n stead_n and_o in_o his_o name_n contract_n and_o covenant_n with_o the_o baptise_a person_n and_o so_o we_o take_v upon_o we_o to_o oblige_v god_n himself_o to_o make_v good_a the_o promise_n of_o that_o covenant_n whensoever_o the_o condition_n of_o it_o be_v perform_v but_o certain_o then_o when_o we_o take_v thus_o much_o upon_o we_o even_o to_o bring_v god_n himself_o into_o bond_n and_o under_o obligation_n it_o infinite_o concern_v we_o to_o be_v thorough_o satisfy_v by_o what_o authority_n we_o do_v this_o and_o who_o give_v we_o this_o authority_n you_o must_v needs_o understand_v this_o say_v a_o excellent_a author_n that_o they_o who_o shall_v pretend_v to_o act_v in_o any_o office_n by_o the_o king_n authority_n without_o a_o true_a commission_n the_o king_n will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o reckon_v himself_o oblige_v to_o confirm_v what_o they_o shall_v act_v in_o his_o name_n that_o he_o will_v punish_v the_o presumption_n of_o such_o officer_n and_o those_o that_o adhere_v to_o they_o and_o dear_a sir_n i_o will_v leave_v it_o to_o you_o to_o make_v the_o application_n but_o then_o second_o let_v i_o ask_v again_o be_v there_o any_o more_o new_a covenant_n than_o one_o or_o be_v not_o we_o and_o our_o child_n to_o be_v save_v by_o the_o same_o covenant_n and_o why_o then_o may_v not_o our_o child_n together_o with_o ourselves_o be_v admit_v to_o a_o partnership_n in_o it_o it_o be_v their_o ancient_a privilege_n to_o be_v admit_v with_o their_o parent_n in_o to_o covenant_n with_o god_n as_o you_o may_v plain_o see_v and_o pray_v sir_n take_v your_o bible_n and_o look_v the_o place_n deut._n 29.10_o 11_o 12._o and_o it_o be_v no_o strange_a thing_n for_o child_n to_o be_v bind_v in_o covenant_n as_o copartner_n with_o their_o parent_n for_o may_v not_o a_o parent_n say_v mr._n baxter_n take_v a_o lease_n for_o himself_o and_o his_o child_n yea_o say_v he_o it_o be_v a_o plain_a natural_a duty_n of_o parent_n to_o covenant_n for_o their_o child_n when_o it_o be_v for_o their_o good_n and_o he_o ask_v the_o question_n be_v it_o not_o a_o sin_n in_o that_o parent_n who_o will_v refuse_v to_o engage_v his_o child_n in_o a_o advantageous_a covenant_n when_o else_o the_o child_n will_v lose_v the_o benefit_n of_o it_o and_o say_v our_o very_a learned_a bishop_n of_o ely_n a_o parent_n may_v contract_v with_o god_n on_o his_o child_n behalf_n as_o a_o guardian_n do_v in_o behalf_n of_o a_o minor_a or_o one_o under_o age_n which_o passage_n with_o more_o of_o the_o same_o nature_n be_v in_o that_o his_o admirable_a discourse_n call_v aqua_fw-la genitalis_fw-la and_o now_o good_a sir_n that_o i_o may_v clear_v and_o conclude_v this_o whole_a matter_n very_o brief_o i_o will_v only_o far_o ask_v leave_v to_o exercise_v your_o patience_n with_o this_o very_a plain_a case_n shall_v some_o great_a person_n make_v the_o kind_a offer_n to_o lease_n out_o his_o estate_n to_o his_o tenant_n and_o to_o their_o child_n upon_o condition_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v bind_v as_o oft_o as_o they_o shall_v be_v require_v to_o do_v some_o little_a suit_n and_o service_n to_o he_o shall_v you_o then_o ask_v i_o what_o be_v require_v of_o such_o person_n as_o be_v to_o have_v these_o lease_n seal_v to_o they_o i_o can_v answer_v that_o they_o be_v to_o promise_v and_o do_v some_o little_a suit_n and_o service_n to_o their_o landlord_n whensoever_o they_o shall_v be_v require_v so_o to_o do_v and_o shall_v you_o ask_v again_o but_o why_o then_o be_v child_n bind_v in_o such_o lease_n when_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o tender_a age_n they_o can_v neither_o promise_v nor_o perform_v that_o suit_n and_o service_n now_o to_o this_o i_o can_v likewise_o answer_v because_o their_o parent_n or_o guardian_n promise_v and_o engage_v for_o they_o which_o be_v a_o very_a usual_a thing_n which_o promise_n and_o engagement_n when_o they_o come_v to_o age_n themselves_o be_v bind_v to_o perform_v and_o shall_v you_o ask_v again_o but_o how_o can_v parent_n or_o guardian_n promise_v true_o for_o their_o child_n that_o they_o shall_v do_v such_o suit_n and_o service_n when_o perhaps_o they_o may_v not_o live_v to_o do_v it_o or_o else_o when_o they_o come_v to_o age_n they_o may_v prove_v undutiful_a and_o stubborn_a and_o may_v refuse_v to_o do_v it_o even_o to_o this_o i_o can_v likewise_o answer_v first_o that_o if_o they_o do_v not_o live_v till_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o perform_v the_o promise_n make_v for_o they_o then_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o they_o do_v not_o live_v till_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o break_v they_o and_o so_o far_o therefore_o all_o be_v well_o enough_o i_o hope_v and_o second_o if_o when_o they_o come_v at_o age_n they_o prove_v stubborn_a and_o disobedient_a and_o will_v not_o be_v persuade_v to_o do_v the_o suit_n and_o service_n which_o their_o parent_n or_o guardian_n promise_v in_o their_o name_n well_o sir_n even_o in_o this_o case_n of_o the_o child_n disobedience_n their_o parent_n be_v still_o blameless_a nor_o do_v their_o promise_n make_v for_o their_o child_n become_v lie_n and_o falsehood_n as_o some_o foolish_o speak_v for_o they_o be_v covenant-promise_n and_o all_o the_o meaning_n of_o they_o be_v that_o their_o child_n shall_v perform_v they_o or_o else_o forfeit_v their_o lease_n so_o that_o if_o their_o child_n do_v not_o perform_v they_o they_o must_v even_o forfeit_v according_o and_o there_o be_v a_o end_n of_o that_o matter_n and_o thus_o in_o the_o new_a covenant_n whereof_o christ_n jesus_n be_v the_o mediator_n heb._n 8.6_o and_o which_o be_v the_o purchase_n of_o his_o blood_n as_o be_v intimate_v in_o that_o say_n wherein_o his_o blood_n be_v call_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n that_o be_v the_o blood_n whereby_o the_o new_a covenant_n be_v purchase_v mat._n 26.28_o in_o this_o new_a covenant_n i_o say_v which_o god_n through_o the_o merit_n and_o mediation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n make_v with_o all_o that_o will_v enter_v into_o it_o he_o oblige_v himself_o on_o the_o one_o hand_n to_o bestow_v heaven_n and_o happiness_n upon_o the_o condition_n of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n and_o they_o who_o enter_v into_o this_o covenant_n do_v on_o the_o other_o hand_n promise_n and_o engage_v to_o perform_v these_o condition_n and_o now_o sir_n if_o you_o ask_v what_o be_v require_v of_o person_n to_o be_v baptise_a into_o this_o covenant_n you_o have_v a_o answer_n in_o our_o catechism_n repentance_n whereby_o they_o forsake_v sin_n and_o faith_n whereby_o they_o steadfast_o believe_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n make_v to_o they_o in_o that_o sacrament_n and_o if_o you_o ask_v again_o why_o then_o be_v infant_n baptise_a when_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o tender_a age_n they_o can_v perform_v they_o the_o answer_n follow_v in_o the_o same_o catechism_n because_o as_o in_o the_o aforesaid_a case_n they_o promise_v they_o by_o their_o surety_n which_o promise_v when_o they_o come_v to_o age_n themselves_o be_v bind_v to_o perform_v and_o if_o you_o ask_v again_o how_o can_v surety_n true_o promise_v for_o such_o infant_n that_o they_o shall_v perform_v these_o condition_n when_o perhaps_o they_o may_v not_o live_v to_o perform_v they_o or_o else_o if_o they_o live_v to_o it_o they_o may_v prove_v stubborn_a and_o undutiful_a and_o refuse_v to_o perform_v they_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v as_o before_o first_o that_o if_o they_o do_v not_o live_v to_o perform_v than_o neither_o do_v they_o live_v to_o break_v they_o nor_o consequent_o be_v there_o any_o breach_n of_o promise_n thus_o far_o to_o be_v account_v for_o and_o second_o if_o when_o they_o come_v at_o age_n they_o prove_v stubborn_a and_o disobedient_a and_o will_v not_o be_v persuade_v to_o perform_v what_o their_o surety_n promise_v for_o they_o well_o sir_n their_o surety_n may_v be_v still_o blameless_a nor_o do_v their_o promise_n become_v lie_n and_o falsehood_n as_o some_o ignorant_a people_n be_v apt_a to_o speak_v for_o it_o be_v here_o to_o be_v note_v that_o they_o be_v perfect_a covenant-promise_n and_o the_o meaning_n of_o they_o be_v that_o the_o child_n shall_v perform_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n or_o else_o forfeit_a and_o loose_v the_o benefit_n of_o it_o and_o thus_o doubt_v not_o good_a sir_n but_o their_o surety_n may_v safe_o promise_v for_o our_o child_n that_o they_o shall_v serve_v god_n true_o all_o the_o day_n of_o their_o life_n for_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o heaven_n and_o happiness_n at_o the_o end_n of_o they_o and_o let_v we_o not_o say_v that_o we_o dare_v not_o so_o promise_v for_o they_o lest_o they_o shall_v not_o perform_v and_o so_o we_o become_v liar_n oh_o let_v we_o

not_o deprive_v they_o of_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n out_o of_o any_o such_o vain_a and_o foolish_a fear_n for_o thus_o run_v the_o covenant_n whereof_o baptism_n be_v the_o seal_n god_n promise_v heaven_n upon_o such_o and_o such_o condition_n and_o their_o surety_n promise_v for_o our_o child_n that_o they_o shall_v perform_v these_o condition_n for_o that_o heaven_n that_o be_v they_o promise_v for_o our_o child_n that_o they_o shall_v perform_v these_o condition_n or_o else_o forfeit_a that_o heaven_n which_o be_v not_o otherwise_o to_o be_v have_v or_o hope_v for_o but_o upon_o these_o condition_n and_o this_o be_v the_o true_a nature_n and_o meaning_n of_o those_o promise_n which_o be_v make_v by_o parent_n and_o surety_n in_o the_o name_n of_o baptise_a infant_n and_o you_o now_o plain_o see_v i_o hope_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o danger_n in_o they_o as_o some_o poor_a silly_a people_n who_o you_o know_v and_o have_v hear_v will_v be_v talk_v of_o and_o the_o danger_n will_v be_v less_o still_o do_v but_o all_o surety_n strict_o observe_v what_o they_o be_v most_o excellent_o teach_v in_o the_o exhortation_n make_v to_o they_o at_o the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o office_n for_o the_o public_a baptism_n of_o infant_n in_o our_o common_a prayer-book_n and_o indeed_o when_o you_o have_v make_v a_o advantageous_a covenant_n for_o your_o child_n as_o you_o desire_v that_o they_o shall_v reap_v the_o benefit_n of_o it_o you_o must_v be_v sure_a to_o take_v care_n that_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o learn_v they_o may_v be_v instruct_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o and_o be_v teach_v the_o condition_n require_v of_o they_o together_o with_o the_o advantage_n which_o will_v accrue_v to_o they_o by_o their_o performance_n of_o these_o condition_n as_o also_o the_o great_a damage_n which_o they_o shall_v sustain_v by_o their_o wilful_a neglect_n of_o they_o even_o so_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o their_o surety_n to_o engage_v infant_n and_o child_n in_o covenant_n with_o god_n but_o they_o must_v be_v sure_a to_o take_v care_n especial_o in_o case_n of_o the_o parent_n death_n or_o neglect_n that_o the_o child_n be_v teach_v as_o soon_o as_o they_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o learn_v what_o they_o be_v bind_v by_o that_o covenant_n to_o perform_v and_o what_o infinite_a gainer_n they_o

and_o dear_a sir_n in_o case_n of_o the_o parent_n death_n the_o state_n have_v provide_v that_o child_n shall_v not_o want_v guardian_n to_o take_v care_n of_o their_o temporal_a inheritance_n and_o shall_v any_o blame_v the_o church_n for_o take_v as_o good_a care_n of_o their_o soul_n as_o the_o state_n have_v do_v of_o their_o land_n and_o possession_n or_o why_o may_v not_o why_o shall_v not_o the_o church_n require_v that_o in_o case_n of_o the_o parent_n death_n their_o child_n shall_v have_v surety_n oblige_v to_o take_v care_n of_o their_o eternal_a affair_n as_o well_o as_o the_o

provide_v good_a surety_n for_o they_o who_o be_v oblige_v to_o look_v after_o their_o soul_n as_o now_o we_o be_v careful_a to_o appoint_v they_o good_a guardian_n who_o be_v oblige_v to_o look_v after_o their_o estate_n and_o sir_n let_v the_o ill-advised_n world_n say_v what_o they_o please_v there_o be_v as_o much_o popery_n in_o the_o state_n for_o require_v guardian_n as_o there_o be_v in_o the_o church_n for_o require_v surety_n for_o child_n unless_o the_o same_o care_n may_v not_o without_o popery_n be_v take_v of_o their_o soul_n which_o may_v without_o popery_n be_v take_v of_o their_o estate_n but_o perhaps_o you_o will_v say_v that_o surety_n very_o seldom_o take_v this_o care_n of_o the_o child_n soul_n which_o i_o be_o speak_v of_o i_o answer_v that_o neither_o be_v all_o guardian_n faithful_a and_o just_a as_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o that_o you_o can_v still_o blame_v the_o church_n for_o require_v surety_n because_o of_o that_o general_a neglect_n of_o their_o duty_n which_o you_o observe_v among_o they_o but_o you_o must_v also_o blame_v the_o state_n for_o require_v guardian_n because_o of_o that_o too_o general_a unfaithfulness_n which_o among_o they_o likewise_o be_v both_o observe_v and_o lament_v in_o this_o age._n and_o then_o again_o in_o case_n of_o the_o parent_n negligence_n as_o it_o be_v at_o the_o request_n of_o those_o parent_n that_o we_o become_v surety_n for_o their_o child_n we_o do_v thereby_o acquire_v some_o kind_n of_o authority_n over_o those_o very_a parent_n themselves_o as_o well_o as_o over_o their_o child_n and_o we_o may_v roundly_o reprove_v even_o those_o very_a parent_n if_o they_o bring_v not_o up_o their_o child_n in_o the_o practice_n of_o those_o christian_a duty_n which_o themselves_o desire_v and_o procure_v we_o to_o promise_n in_o their_o child_n name_n and_o much_o more_o may_v we_o reprove_v and_o rebuke_v their_o child_n be_v grow_v to_o year_n of_o discretion_n if_o then_o they_o

teach_v all_o thing_n whatsoever_o our_o lord_n command_v yea_o i_o may_v venture_v to_o affirm_v that_o the_o eunuch_n be_v baptise_a by_o philip_n and_o that_o the_o jailor_n and_o his_o household_n be_v baptise_a by_o paul_n and_o silas_n before_o they_o have_v be_v teach_v the_o twenty_o part_n of_o what_o our_o lord_n commmand_v and_o hence_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a that_o the_o apostle_n

you_o shall_v command_v your_o shepherd_n say_v go_v take_v care_n to_o preserve_v my_o whole_a flock_n drive_v they_o from_o off_o the_o starve_v commons_o into_o a_o better_a pasture_n and_o

will_v be_v the_o very_a same_o with_o our_o adversary_n argument_n against_o discipling_n and_o baptise_v infant_n for_o may_v it_o please_v you_o sir_n to_o have_v they_o set_v together_o our_o

from_o our_o lord_n command_n against_o the_o infant_n of_o all_o nation_n that_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v disciple_v and_o baptise_a because_o not_o to_o be_v teach_v even_o so_o be_v your_o

into_o a_o better_a pasture_n because_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v clip_v for_o thus_o in_o one_o word_n our_o lord_n command_n be_v say_v our_o adversary_n to_o have_v all_o nation_n disciple_v baptise_a and_o teach_v and_o therefore_o none_o be_v to_o be_v disciple_v and_o baptise_a but_o such_o as_o be_v to_o be_v teach_v too_o and_o consequent_o no_o infant_n and_o just_o so_o your_o

of_o reason_v your_o shepherd_n shall_v real_o play_v you_o the_o scurvy_a trick_n which_o i_o have_v only_o now_o suppose_v again_o this_o way_n of_o argue_v may_v be_v very_o injurious_a to_o the_o

i_o say_v go_v feed_v and_o clothe_v all_o the_o poor_a of_o the_o parish_n at_o my_o cost_n and_o charge_n teach_v they_o the_o duty_n of_o poor_a people_n now_o according_a to_o our_o adversary_n way_n of_o argue_v though_o you_o shall_v thus_o command_v i_o to_o feed_v and_o clothe_v all_o the_o poor_a without_o exception_n yet_o i_o ought_v not_o to_o feed_v or_o clothe_v so_o much_o as_o one_o poor_a child_n in_o the_o whole_a parish_n because_o child_n be_v not_o to_o be_v teach_v the_o duty_n of_o poor_a people_n but_o real_o sir_n i_o shall_v not_o so_o narrow_o interpret_v your_o

not_o then_o be_v so_o well_o teach_v their_o duty_n and_o in_o short_a you_o sir_n may_v try_v i_o with_o the_o command_n if_o you_o please_v and_o i_o will_v certain_o feed_v and_o clothe_v all_o
