A45397	The baptizing of infants revievved and defended from the exceptions of Mr. Tombes in his three last chapters of his book intituled Antipedobaptisme / by H. Hammond ...	Hammond, Henry, 1605-1660.	1655 (1655)	Wing H515A; ESTC R875	90,962	116

antipaedobaptist_n to_o found_v his_o plea_n in_o it_o and_o all_o that_o i_o have_v to_o do_v be_v to_o show_v how_o useless_a it_o be_v like_a to_o prove_v to_o he_o confess_v also_o that_o to_o i_o

which_o he_o acknowledge_v i_o express_o to_o deny_v this_o sure_a be_v very_o incongruous_a it_o be_v visible_a from_o the_o word_n by_o i_o produce_v §_o 96._o that_o i_o deny_v that_o that_o text_n of_o mat._n 28.19_o can_v prejudice_v the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n and_o the_o only_a design_n i_o have_v in_o consider_v this_o text_n at_o all_o in_o this_o place_n be_v to_o evidence_n the_o second_o branch_n of_o the_o negative_a part_n of_o my_o undertake_n that_o there_o appear_v nothing_o in_o christ_n institution_n of_o baptism_n or_o commission_n to_o his_o apostle_n which_o be_v exclusive_a of_o infant_n how_o then_o can_v it_o be_v suggest_v with_o any_o show_n of_o truth_n that_o i_o seem_v tacit_o to_o yield_v that_o if_o the_o word_n include_v not_o infant_n under_o the_o disciple_v there_o be_v then_o something_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n which_o exclude_v infant_n from_o baptism_n it_o be_v evident_a from_o whence_o it_o be_v that_o i_o infer_v and_o positive_o define_v christ_n commission_n for_o baptism_n to_o belong_v to_o infant_n not_o from_o these_o word_n of_o christ_n which_o as_o i_o say_v i_o never_o propose_v to_o that_o end_n to_o prove_v my_o position_n from_o they_o but_o only_o to_o answer_v the_o antipaedobaptist_n objection_n found_v in_o they_o but_o from_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n signify_v their_o sense_n and_o persuasion_n of_o christ_n meaning_n in_o his_o institution_n of_o baptism_n which_o institution_n we_o know_v from_o john_n 4.1_o have_v long_o precede_v the_o deliver_n of_o these_o word_n matth_n 28._o so_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v the_o notion_n of_o discipling_n there_o yet_o can_v not_o i_o deem_v infant_n thereby_o exclude_v from_o baptism_n who_o by_o another_o medium_n viz._n the_o apostolical_a practice_n i_o suppose_v to_o be_v admit_v to_o it_o by_o christ_n institution_n the_o short_a be_v infant_n i_o suppose_v may_v be_v receive_v into_o discipleship_n when_o their_o parent_n bring_v they_o and_o if_o so_o than_o they_o be_v or_o may_v be_v include_v in_o the_o word_n mat._n 28._o but_o if_o they_o may_v not_o and_o so_o be_v suppose_v not_o to_o be_v comprehend_v in_o these_o word_n of_o christ_n mat._n 28._o yet_o that_o which_o be_v not_o include_v be_v not_o present_o exclude_v he_o that_o say_v a_o man_n be_v a_o live_a creature_n do_v not_o thereby_o deny_v a_o angel_n to_o be_v so_o also_o when_o christ_n give_v his_o disciple_n power_n to_o heal_v disease_n mat._n 10.1_o he_o can_v be_v deem_v to_o withhold_v from_o they_o power_n of_o raise_v the_o dead_a for_o that_o we_o see_v comprehend_v in_o their_o commission_n v._n 8._o and_o so_o i_o can_v no_o way_n be_v enforce_v to_o yield_v that_o they_o be_v exclude_v from_o baptism_n as_o

in_o this_o discourse_n he_o proceed_v then_o to_o some_o other_o attempt_n of_o prove_v it_o necessary_a for_o i_o if_o i_o will_v stand_v to_o my_o word_n elsewhere_o to_o acknowledge_v infant_n exclude_v by_o that_o text_n to_o which_o end_n he_o have_v be_v very_o diligent_a in_o put_v together_o several_a scatter_a passage_n in_o my_o write_n in_o hope_n to_o find_v some_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d and_o to_o raise_v some_o show_n of_o argument_n out_o of_o my_o own_o word_n and_o so_o from_o my_o temerity_n or_o inconstancy_n for_o want_n of_o solid_a proof_n to_o conclude_v that_o if_o this_o precept_n of_o christ_n do_v not_o necessary_o infer_v infant_n baptism_n then_o by_o manifest_a consequence_n it_o do_v deny_v it_o the_o passage_n he_o gather_v up_o be_v these_o
