A90658	A reply to a confutation of some grounds for infants baptisme: as also, concerning the form of a church, put forth against mee by one Thomas Lamb. Hereunto is added, a discourse of the verity and validity of infants baptisme, wherein I endeavour to clear it in it self: as also in the ministery administrating it, and the manner of administration, by sprinkling, and not dipping; with sundry other particulars handled herein. / By George Philips of Watertown in New England.	Phillips, George, 1593-1644.	1645 (1645)	Wing P2026; Thomason E287_4; ESTC R200088	141,673	168

in_o man_n happiness_n from_o all_o which_o in_o the_o general_a and_o according_a to_o that_o sense_n they_o seem_v to_o bear_v i_o see_v no_o reason_n to_o dissent_v nor_o from_o the_o intimation_n of_o satan_n and_o his_o minister_n policy_n to_o corrupt_v true_a religion_n and_o counterfeit_v a_o false_a religion_n under_o pretence_n of_o the_o true_a to_o cozen_v cheat_n and_o deceive_v poor_a soul_n with_o chaff_n instead_o of_o wheat_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v a_o certain_a truth_n as_o the_o scripture_n and_o experience_n of_o all_o age_n and_o of_o this_o wherein_o we_o live_v do_v too_o woeful_o manifest_a and_o i_o wish_v himself_o be_v none_o of_o the_o number_n as_o hearty_o as_o i_o pray_v for_o myself_o from_o this_o discourse_n he_o deduce_v nine_o conclusion_n to_o which_o i_o can_v subscribe_v under_o these_o consideration_n to_o the_o first_o taking_z religion_n and_o please_v of_o god_n in_o a_o strict_a and_o peculiar_a sense_n otherwise_o i_o do_v not_o see_v a_o ground_n of_o difference_n between_o sin_n and_o duty_n material_o to_o the_o second_o and_o three_o the_o bond_n of_o obedience_n lie_v upon_o all_o man_n who_o therefore_o be_v to_o be_v teach_v in_o the_o law_n that_o they_o may_v become_v dead_a to_o the_o law_n through_o the_o law_n and_o so_o glad_a to_o fly_v to_o christ_n for_o righteousness_n and_o life_n to_o the_o four_o the_o word_n commission_n add_v to_o the_o rest_n seem_v to_o make_v all_o action_n of_o religion_n common_a to_o all_o as_o to_o preach_v baptize_v etc._n etc._n or_o to_o restrain_v act_n of_o religion_n to_o they_o in_o office_n only_o to_o the_o nine_o if_o he_o intend_v by_o these_o word_n no_o man_n ought_v to_o perform_v any_o act_n of_o religion_n unless_o christ_n be_v all_o in_o all_o in_o that_o action_n that_o therefore_o no_o man_n may_v or_o must_v pray_v etc._n etc._n be_v exhort_v thereunto_o etc._n etc._n i_o agree_v not_o with_o he_o and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n in_o the_o epistle_n the_o order_n how_o this_o religion_n be_v to_o be_v wrought_v in_o man_n heart_n and_o this_o be_v set_v down_o thus_o first_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o convert_v man_n from_o sin_n to_o grace_n and_o then_o to_o baptize_v man_n convert_v profess_v their_o faith_n and_o not_o before_o by_o which_o as_o the_o end_n of_o baptism_n they_o may_v be_v distinguish_v as_o by_o a_o badge_n or_o livery_n to_o belong_v to_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n to_o this_o in_o a_o word_n i_o say_v thus_o much_o that_o there_o be_v a_o distinction_n to_o be_v make_v between_o a_o company_n to_o be_v convert_v and_o to_o be_v constitute_v and_o a_o church_n now_o constitute_v in_o a_o company_n to_o be_v convert_v and_o to_o be_v constitute_v that_o which_o be_v say_v be_v true_a the_o gospel_n must_v first_o be_v preach_v and_o by_o faith_n receive_v and_o profess_v and_o then_o they_o be_v to_o be_v seal_v and_o not_o before_o but_o in_o a_o church_n now_o constitute_v the_o like_a be_v not_o require_v but_o the_o church_n be_v propagate_v by_o continual_a succession_n till_o god_n out_o they_o off_o thus_o be_v it_o with_o abraham_n and_o his_o family_n the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v to_o he_o and_o he_o he_o and_o his_o believe_v and_o be_v circumcise_v and_o after_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v before_o they_o be_v circumcise_v but_o be_v propagate_v and_o continue_v a_o church_n till_o christ_n time_n and_o so_o when_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o be_v preach_v to_o the_o gentile_n they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v baptize_v till_o they_o believe_v but_o believe_v they_o be_v join_v to_o the_o church_n and_o then_o baptize_v and_o that_o church_n continue_v by_o succession_n till_o god_n cut_v they_o off_o again_o but_o because_o this_o be_v the_o point_n in_o difference_n i_o shall_v spare_v far_a speech_n till_o i_o come_v to_o reply_v unto_o the_o answer_n in_o the_o book_n and_o touch_v the_o complaint_n be_v make_v again_o of_o satan_n and_o his_o minister_n policy_n and_o malice_n to_o set_v up_o a_o false_a religion_n i_o join_v in_o it_o only_o i_o dare_v not_o account_v that_o to_o be_v any_o part_n of_o humane_a religion_n or_o of_o satan_n the_o baptise_v of_o infant_n and_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v prove_v it_o be_v no_o humane_a device_n for_o any_o thing_n we_o can_v prove_v to_o be_v divine_a in_o
