A77753	A iustification of two points now in controversie with the Anabaptists concerning baptisme: the first is, that infants of Christians ought to be baptized, with grounds to prove it, and their objections answered. With a briefe answer to Master Tombes twelve doubtfull arguments against it in his exercitation about infants baptisme. Also a briefe answer to Captaine Hobsons five arguments in his falacy of infants baptisme, being (as he saith) that which should have beene disputed by him, and Mr. Knowles, and some others; against Mr. Calamy and Mr. Cranford. The second point is, that the sprinckling the baptized more agreeth with the minde of Christ then dipping or plunging in or under the water: with grounds to prove it, and a briefe auswer [sic] to what they have to say against it. / By T.B.	Bakewell, Thomas, b. 1618 or 19.	1646 (1646)	Wing B534; Thomason E316_23; ESTC R5282	32,062	32

plural_a number_n than_o there_o be_v more_o baptism_n than_o one_o but_o paul_n speak_v of_o baptism_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n hebr._n 6.2_o therefore_o there_o be_v more_o than_o one_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v like_o paul_n speak_v of_o the_o outward_a and_o inward_a baptism_n and_o the_o gift_n of_o miracle_n and_o call_v they_o altogether_o baptism_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n or_o it_o may_v be_v he_o put_v the_o suffering_n of_o christian_n and_o wash_v their_o corpse_n after_o death_n which_o be_v call_v baptism_n because_o the_o very_a next_o thing_n paul_n speak_v of_o be_v

they_o again_o with_o water_n now_o as_o i_o be_v desire_v i_o shall_v give_v a_o brief_a answer_n to_o captain_n hobson_n five_o argument_n first_o say_v he_o the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n do_v

that_o be_v true_a abraham_n be_v damn_v and_o then_o by_o and_o by_o he_o say_v the_o seed_n and_o son_n of_o abraham_n must_v be_v believer_n gal._n 3.7.9.14.22.28.29_o then_o sure_o he_o receive_v

to_o the_o true_a religion_n therefore_o he_o will_v not_o baptize_v they_o unless_o they_o will_v leave_v their_o heresy_n and_o schism_n then_o it_o be_v not_o because_o they_o be_v of_o the_o

we_o who_o be_v no_o better_a than_o viper_n both_o to_o church_n and_o state_n but_o when_o any_o be_v admit_v to_o baptism_n if_o they_o do_v but_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o

and_o the_o token_n of_o it_o as_o the_o jewish_a infant_n be_v but_o it_o be_v not_o true_a to_o say_v they_o only_o that_o have_v the_o covenant_n must_v have_v the_o sign_n and_o token_n of_o it_o for_o the_o male_a child_n of_o the_o jew_n all_o have_v the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n both_o the_o elect_a and_o reprobate_n without_o any_o difference_n and_o woman_n which_o be_v in_o the_o
