A78433	A sober ansvver, to a serious question. Propounded by Mr. G. Firmin minister of the church in Shalford in Essex. viz. Whether the ministers of England are bound, by the Word of God, to baptise the children of all such parents, which say, they believe in Jesus Christ: but are grosly ignorant, scandalous in their conversation, scoffers at godliness, and refuse to submit to church-discipline, the negative is not sufficiently defended. Which may serve also as an appendix to the diatribe with Mr. Hooker, lately published, concerning the baptisme of infants, of parents not confœderate. By Daniel Cavvdrey pastour of the church at Great Billing in Northampton-shire. Licensed, printed, and entred, according to order.	Cawdrey, Daniel, 1588-1664.	1652 (1652)	Wing C1636; Thomason E683_23; ESTC R206820	21,614	39

argument_n from_o the_o jew_n to_o be_v good_a and_o also_o the_o main_a question_n that_o such_o person_n if_o tolerate_v may_v give_v right_a to_o their_o child_n baptism_n and_o minister_n not_o only_o may_v but_o be_v bind_v to_o baptise_v they_o against_o which_o he_o have_v all_o this_o while_n dispute_v only_o he_o say_v our_o question_n be_v whether_o such_o person_n shall_v be_v let_v alone_o be_v not_o that_o church_n too_o blame_v aught_o such_o de_fw-fr jure_fw-la to_o be_v member_n no_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o such_o person_n while_o suffer_v in_o the_o church_n have_v right_a to_o give_v their_o child_n baptism_n and_o that_o be_v full_o grant_v 5._o for_o more_o exactness_n in_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o divers_a respect_n we_o dissent_v not_o so_o it_o be_v not_o beyond_o the_o rule_n but_o as_o he_o dislike_v the_o rigidness_n which_o some_o he_o mean_v the_o independent_o will_v have_v in_o admission_n of_o member_n to_o church-communion_n so_o we_o dislike_v his_o rigidness_n in_o admission_n of_o child_n to_o baptism_n all_o that_o discourse_n concern_v the_o sense_n of_o 1_o cor._n 5.11_o for_o many_o page_n together_o i_o purposely_o pass_v by_o as_o lead_v into_o another_o controversy_n i_o shall_v only_o consider_v that_o question_v propound_v pag._n 42._o as_o his_o advice_n for_o the_o reformation_n of_o our_o congregation_n which_o be_v this_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o better_o for_o the_o minister_n of_o england_n as_o they_o do_v suspend_v person_n from_o the_o lord_n supper_n so_o also_o for_o a_o time_n to_o suspend_v they_o from_o baptise_v their_o child_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n minister_n to_o follow_v catechise_v close_o &_o c_o to_o which_o i_o have_v these_o thing_n to_o say_v 1._o it_o proceed_v upon_o a_o erroneous_a at_o least_o a_o doubtful_a practice_n that_o minister_n have_v do_v well_o in_o suspend_v so_o long_o such_o man_n their_o whole_a parish_n from_o the_o lord_n supper_n of_o which_o something_a have_v be_v say_v above_o this_o way_n as_o it_o have_v give_v occasion_n to_o some_o to_o separate_v and_o join_v themselves_o to_o independent_a church_n as_o want_v with_o we_o a_o ordinance_n so_o it_o have_v make_v other_o more_o profane_a than_o before_o who_o be_v something_o awe_v by_o their_o approach_n to_o that_o sacrament_n 2._o for_o the_o inference_n from_o that_o practice_n i_o say_v if_o they_o do_v and_o do_v well_o in_o suspend_v such_o from_o the_o supper_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o safe_a or_o expedient_a in_o my_o judgement_n to_o suspend_v they_o from_o the_o other_o for_o their_o child_n as_o thing_n now_o stand_v in_o england_n for_o beside_o what_o have_v be_v say_v in_o behalf_n of_o poor_a child_n above_o i_o observe_v 1._o if_o one_o baptise_v they_o not_o another_z of_o another_o judgement_n shall_v and_o will_v and_o who_o can_v hinder_v it_o this_o increase_v the_o division_n betwixt_o minister_n by_o other_o intermeddle_v within_o their_o charge_n and_o congregation_n 2._o this_o will_v be_v one_o way_n to_o make_v the_o next_o generation_n no_o better_a than_o infidel_n for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v all_o unbaptised_a or_o else_o profane_a and_o ignorant_a as_o be_v without_o the_o care_n of_o the_o church_n 3._o this_o will_v exasperate_v the_o parent_n be_v profane_a and_o desperate_a enough_o already_o against_o their_o minister_n and_o so_o not_o only_o prejudice_v they_o in_o their_o maintenance_n however_o he_o find_v it_o otherwise_o by_o the_o power_n of_o some_o friend_n but_o also_o alienate_v their_o mind_n more_o from_o the_o desire_a reformation_n 4._o this_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o express_a rule_n to_o punish_v the_o poor_a child_n for_o the_o parent_n personal_a fault_n at_o least_o in_o some_o case_n as_o be_v manifest_v above_o 5._o this_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o own_o principle_n who_o have_v often_o grant_v that_o while_o such_o parent_n as_o in_o the_o question_n be_v suffer_v in_o the_o church_n they_o have_v right_a for_o themselves_o and_o they_o and_o you_o must_v not_o deny_v it_o if_o you_o own_v they_o for_o church-member_n however_o custom_n have_v prevail_v to_o the_o exclusion_n of_o they_o from_o it_o without_o regular_a proceed_n etc._n etc._n pag._n 42._o etc._n if_o the_o church_n shall_v tolerate_v such_o evil_n etc._n etc._n they_o can_v deny_v they_o the_o privilege_n of_o member_n survey_v part_v 3._o p._n 11._o and_o he_o instance_n in_o the_o church_n of_o sardis_n etc._n etc._n now_o both_o mr._n hooker_n survey_v part_v 3._o pag._n 11._o and_o himself_z have_v often_o yield_v they_o to_o be_v member_n to_o all_o privilege_n of_o the_o church_n while_o sinful_o tolerate_v and_o as_o for_o that_o regular_a proceed_n to_o reform_v they_o by_o suspension_n or_o eject_v they_o by_o excommunication_n it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o any_o minister_n alone_o and_o therefore_o not_o only_o unjust_a if_o they_o shall_v usurp_v it_o but_o also_o impossible_a as_o our_o church_n yet_o stand_v for_o the_o most_o part_n unpresbyter_v and_o without_o a_o settle_a government_n whence_o a_o new_a ground_n of_o obloquy_n and_o reproach_n will_v be_v offer_v to_o anabaptist_n and_o independent_o yea_o and_o to_o profane_a people_n too_o to_o charge_v our_o church_n at_o least_o our_o minister_n as_o antichristian_a for_o usurp_v not_o only_o a_o bishop-like_a but_o a_o pope-like_a power_n in_o every_o parish_n the_o thing_n so_o much_o fear_v in_o the_o presbytery_n what_o remain_v then_o but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o better_a way_n to_o reform_v our_o congregation_n if_o the_o magistrate_n can_v be_v prevail_v with_o to_o settle_v a_o right_a government_n in_o the_o church_n which_o all_o congregation_n shall_v be_v bind_v to_o submit_v to_o or_o else_o to_o execute_v justice_n upon_o notorious_a offender_n and_o scandalous_a person_n the_o minister_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n follow_v catechise_v close_o to_o breed_v knowledge_n in_o their_o people_n and_o labour_v to_o reform_v they_o from_o a_o scandalous_a conversation_n by_o all_o the_o gentle_a persuasion_n and_o meekness_n of_o wisdom_n which_o god_n shall_v give_v they_o that_o so_o when_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o magistrate_n have_v civilise_v at_o least_o their_o conversation_n and_o by_o catechise_v they_o have_v get_v knowledge_n we_o may_v then_o with_o more_o comfort_n give_v they_o the_o privilege_n of_o both_o the_o ordinance_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n such_o be_v the_o strait_n some_o man_n have_v bring_v we_o into_o no_o better_a way_n in_o my_o shallow_a head_n than_o to_o press_v hard_o upon_o such_o parent_n the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n at_o the_o time_n of_o baptism_n or_o other_o time_n the_o duty_n of_o parent_n with_o respect_n to_o their_o own_o baptism_n and_o their_o child_n as_o by_o this_o seal_n engage_v both_o of_o they_o to_o be_v god_n people_n that_o be_v to_o know_v he_o to_o fear_v he_o to_o love_v he_o to_o trust_v in_o he_o to_o delight_v in_o he_o and_o to_o obey_v he_o in_o all_o his_o holy_a command_n deliver_v in_o the_o word_n and_o all_o this_o as_o they_o expect_v the_o performance_n of_o the_o covenant_n on_o god_n part_n to_o be_v their_o god_n by_o all_o which_o faithful_o and_o earnest_o press_v upon_o they_o they_o may_v by_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n upon_o our_o labour_n be_v qualify_v according_a to_o his_o own_o rule_n deliver_v in_o his_o epistle_n by_o which_o he_o practise_v viz._n 1._o see_v
