A78133	A discourse tending to prove the baptisme in, or under the defection of Antichrist to be the ordinance of Jesus Christ. As also that the baptisme of infants or children is warrantable, and agreeable to the word of God. Where the perpetuity of the estate of Christs Church in the world, and the everlastingnesse of the covenant of Almighty God to Abraham are set forth as maine grounds, and sundry other particular things are controverted and discussed.

at_o the_o present_a and_o say_v something_o of_o the_o fore_a part_n where_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n considerable_a as_o general_a ground_n in_o the_o mind_v whereof_o sundry_a particular_n will_v fall_v in_o the_o first_o be_v the_o covenant_n of_o almighty_a god_n to_o abraham_n and_o to_o his_o seed_n after_o he_o in_o their_o generation_n gen._n 17._o 7._o it_o be_v a_o everlasting_a

after_o the_o suffering_n of_o our_o lord_n as_o appeareth_z by_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n you_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o of_o the_o covenant_n and_o again_o the_o covenant_n be_v make_v to_o you_o and_o to_o 39_o act_n 3._o 25._o 2._o 39_o your_o child_n yea_o it_o do_v extend_v to_o the_o gentile_n they_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o seed_n unto_o who_o this_o everlasting_a covenant_n be_v make_v as_o we_o shall_v further_o show_v hereafter_o this_o covenant_n of_o almighty_a god_n as_o it_o be_v everlasting_a and_o have_v the_o same_o extent_n for_o ever_o as_o ever_o it_o have_v so_o it_o be_v a_o distinct_a thing_n from_o either_o of_o the_o testament_n old_a or_o new_a for_o let_v it_o be_v mind_v there_o be_v but_o two_o testament_n a_o old_a one_o by_o moses_n a_o new_a 8._o heb._n 8._o 6_o 7_o 8._o one_o by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n so_o the_o scripture_n be_v clear_a hebrew_n 8._o one_o confirm_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o goat_n etc._n etc._n and_o the_o other_o in_o or_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n now_o the_o covenant_n to_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n be_v neither_o of_o these_o two_o the_o old_a it_o be_v not_o nor_o any_o part_n of_o it_o it_o be_v make_v 430_o year_n before_o and_o no_o whit_n disannul_v swallow_v up_o or_o make_v void_a by_o the_o testament_n of_o moses_n as_o express_o the_o

of_o the_o new_a as_o some_o do_v be_v to_o subvert_v the_o order_n of_o god_n himself_o for_o so_o the_o new_a testament_n by_o christ_n the_o son_n shall_v be_v indeed_o the_o old_a and_o the_o old_a by_o moses_n 430_o year_n after_o shall_v be_v the_o new_a alike_o mistake_v it_o be_v to_o make_v it_o a_o part_n of_o the_o old_a or_o the_o old_a itself_o as_o some_o do_v and_o so_o to_o count_v it_o legal_a and_o carnal_a and_o the_o like_a when_o as_o indeed_o it_o be_v most_o gracious_a and_o have_v nothing_o but_o free_a grace_n in_o it_o and_o in_o all_o the_o part_n of_o it_o and_o indeed_o but_o for_o digression_n from_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n i_o will_v say_v something_o further_o about_o this_o matter_n because_o i_o know_v some_o will_v count_v this_o a_o new_a thing_n but_o let_v they_o mind_n that_o though_o a_o covenant_n and_o testament_n have_v a_o common_a and_o general_a acceptance_n in_o the_o scripture_n phrase_n yet_o in_o strictness_n of_o speak_v they_o be_v distinct_a and_o divers_a and_o not_o the_o same_o a_o testament_n can_v be_v confirm_v no_o otherwise_o but_o by_o death_n or_o blood_n so_o the_o apostle_n and_o so_o be_v 6._o he._n 9_o 6._o both_o the_o testament_n old_a and_o new_a but_o a_o covenant_n be_v otherwise_o ratify_v and_o a_o person_n may_v make_v divers_a covenant_n but_o he_o can_v make_v but_o one_o testament_n in_o asmuch_o as_o he_o can_v die_v but_o once_o almighty_a god_n make_v one_o free_a gracious_a and_o everlasting_a covenant_n with_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n and_o two_o testament_n as_o we_o say_v before_o one_o by_o moses_n which_o wax_v old_a and_o one_o new_a by_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n and_o though_o this_o may_v seem_v new_a let_v any_o in_o soberness_n show_v the_o error_n that_o attend_v it_o now_o to_o return_v to_o our_o matter_n this_o covenant_n with_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n be_v a_o distinct_a thing_n from_o either_o of_o the_o testament_n and_o be_v everlasting_a and_o not_o make_v void_a by_o either_o of_o the_o testament_n the_o seed_n of_o the_o faithful_a must_v needs_o be_v interest_v in_o it_o so_o long_o as_o it_o do_v last_o and_o

the_o same_o of_o the_o same_o extent_n the_o lineal_a seed_n of_o the_o faithful_a within_o it_o i_o now_o proceed_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o second_o thing_n which_o be_v that_o the_o

precious_a truth_n the_o particular_a of_o their_o opinion_n and_o practice_n be_v to_o dip_v and_o that_o person_n be_v to_o be_v dip_v all_o and_o every_o part_n to_o be_v under_o the_o water_n
