A31094	A briefe answer to A discourse, lately written by one P.B., to prove baptisme under the defection of Antichrist, to be the ordinance of Iesus Christ, and the baptizing of infants to be agreeable to the word of God wherein is declared ... that true baptisme and a false church are inconsistent, and cannot stand together : and also maintained, that the baptizing of infants hath no authority from the Scriptures / by R. Barrow.	Barrow, Robert, d. 1697.	1642 (1642)	Wing B967; ESTC R12474	18,380	26

reputed in respect of their faith and walking in his steps as it is written Rom. 4.11.12 where it is said That he received the signe of circumcision the seale of righteousnesse of faith which he had before he was circumcised that hee might be the father marke of whom viz of all them that believe and walke in the steps of that faith which he had before he was circumcised according to which therefore it is said Gal. 3.29 If yee be Christs then are yee Abrahams seed and heires according to promise These later his spirituall seed by the expresse command of Iesus Christ Mat. 28.19 are to be baptised Goe yee saith he and make Disciples or believers all Nations and baptise them and he that believeth as Abraham the father of all that believe did Rom. 4.11 Gal. 3.29 and is baptised shall be saved Marke 16.15 But what is all this to prove the baptisme of Infants which believe not and therefore are none of Abrahams seed who onely are to be baptised no more then that which followeth which is nothing at all being the same in effect with this The Nations that are made Abrahams seed the nations that are saved the kingdomes which shall become the kingdomes of our Lord must needs receive Christs badge This is granted but proveth nothing lesse then the baptising of Infants seeing none are made Abrahams seed but those which are first made Christs Gal. 3.29 that wake in his steps Rom. 4.12 and doe his workes Iohn 8.36 Neither doe any kingdomes become the Kingdomes of the Lord but those that feare and serve him that kisse the sonne Psal. 1.10.11.12 heare his voyce Acts 3.22.23 and have him to raigne over him Luke 19 27. Nor doth the Scripture declare the salvation of any more then those onely which believe he that believeth on the sonne hath everlasting life but hee that believeth not shall not see life but the wrath of God abideth on him Iohn 3.36 therefore in refusing to baptise Infants who believe not we curtaile not the nation that are made Abrahams seed c. I should have thought but that he denyeth a nationall Church page 39. that he would have all nations of people to be baptised but seeing hee denyeth the former I cannot charge him with the later but by this that is said it appeareth how hee hath proved the baptisme of Infants from Matth. 28.19 and other his instances then which nothing could possibly be alledged more opposite thereunto but herein hee doth not seeme strange to mee finding his whole discourse not onely weake emptie and impertinent but so repugnant and contradictions to it selfe so that a man in the reading thereof may very well judge that he wrote the same intending to desert and render the cause evil and naught which he pretendeth to maintaine or else desiring to obtaine to himselfe a name amongst those vaine janglers mentioned 1 Tim. 6 who desire to be teachers when they neither know what they say nor whereof they affirme verse 7.
