A43469	Some plain letters in the defence of infant baptism and of the mode of baptizing (now generally used in the Church of England), which may serve, for a confutation of a small treatise entituled The reason why not infant-sprinkling, but believers-baptism ought to be approved, &c.

though_o the_o expression_n in_o 1_o cor._n 10.2_o be_v but_o metaphorical_a yet_o i_o hope_v that_o this_o baptism_n with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v a_o real_a baptism_n it_o be_v i_o be_o sure_a the_o chief_a and_o principal_a baptism_n and_o of_o which_o the_o baptism_n with_o water_n be_v but_o the_o outward_a sign_n and_o here_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o add_v that_o the_o primitive_a

baptise_v do_v not_o always_o signify_v dip_v nor_o consequent_o do_v it_o exclude_v all_o other_o mode_n of_o baptise_v but_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o we_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n it_o seem_v among_o some_o folk_n must_v be_v great_a dissembler_n and_o hypocrite_n and_o why_o i_o pray_v why_o because_o when_o we_o baptise_v by_o sprinkle_v we_o dare_v not_o speak_v as_o we_o act_n we_o dare_v not_o say_v i_o sprinkle_v thou_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n etc._n etc._n alas_o for_o we_o poor_a man_n that_o we_o be_v no_o such_o dare_a blade_n as_o some_o other_o be_v but_o be_v it_o so_o indeed_o when_o they_o baptise_v by_o dip_v dare_v they_o say_v i_o dip_v thou_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n etc._n etc._n i_o be_o sure_a we_o may_v with_o as_o good_a reason_n and_o authority_n say_v i_o sprinkle_v thou_o as_o they_o say_v i_o dip_v thou_o our_o saviour_n word_n be_v go_v teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o our_o adversary_n ask_v we_o dare_v you_o translate_v the_o word_n go_v teach_v all_o nation_n sprinkle_v they_o and_o to_o be_v even_o with_o they_o we_o think_v it_o enough_o to_o ask_v they_o again_o dare_v you_o translate_v the_o word_n go_v teach_v all_o nation_n dip_v they_o but_o sir_n i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o strike_v more_o light_n into_o this_o matter_n by_o a_o parallel_n case_n suppose_v then_o that_o our_o bless_a saviour_n have_v say_v to_o his_o apostle_n go_v hire_v all_o nation_n into_o my_o vineyard_n pay_v they_o such_o a_o sum_n in_o my_o name_n and_o suppose_v further_o that_o some_o of_o they_o have_v pay_v the_o sum_n in_o silver_n and_o some_o in_o gold_n can_v it_o be_v imagine_v that_o ever_o these_o different_a way_n of_o pay_v the_o same_o sum_n will_v have_v prove_v a_o matter_n of_o controversy_n true_o according_a to_o the_o aforesaid_a way_n of_o contend_v and_o argue_v they_o who_o pay_v in_o silver_n may_v have_v quarrel_v with_o the_o other_o for_o pay_v in_o gold_n and_o may_v have_v dispute_v their_o quarrel_n after_o this_o manner_n our_o saviour_n have_v say_v go_v hire_v all_o nation_n into_o my_o vineyard_n pay_v they_o such_o a_o sum_n in_o my_o name_n but_o dare_v you_o translate_v the_o word_n pay_v they_o so_o much_o gold_n in_o my_o name_n how_o then_o dare_v you_o pay_v in_o gold_n when_o you_o dare_v not_o speak_v as_o you_o act_n now_o to_o this_o argument_n may_v not_o the_o other_o have_v reply_v and_o dispute_v on_o the_o other_o hand_n against_o pay_v in_o silver_n our_o saviour_n have_v command_v we_o to_o hire_v all_o nation_n into_o his_o vineyard_n pay_v they_o such_o a_o sum_n in_o his_o name_n but_o dare_v you_o translate_v the_o word_n pay_v they_o so_o much_o silver_n if_o not_o how_o dare_v you_o pay_v in_o silver_n when_o you_o dare_v not_o speak_v as_o you_o act_n this_o case_n i_o think_v sufficient_o show_v the_o folly_n of_o our_o adversary_n in_o dare_v we_o to_o use_v the_o word_n sprinkle_v for_o baptise_v nay_o and_o further_o we_o may_v suppose_v our_o saviour_n give_v this_o command_n to_o his_o apostle_n to_o hire_v all_o nation_n into_o his_o vineyard_n pay_v they_o such_o a_o sum_n in_o his_o name_n we_o may_v far_o suppose_v he_o i_o say_v at_o the_o same_o time_n to_o have_v be_v in_o the_o indies_n where_o payment_n for_o the_o most_o p●●●_n be_v make_v all_o in_o gold_n and_o consequent_o we_o may_v suppose_v that_o the_o apostle_n hire_v these_o india_n nation_n into_o christ_n vineyard_n do_v pay_v they_o all_o in_o gold_n according_a to_o the_o general_n usage_n of_o these_o country_n well_o but_o then_o even_o upon_o this_o supposition_n that_o none_o of_o the_o apostle_n have_v ever_o pay_v the_o aforesaid_a sum_n in_o silver_n but_o have_v pay_v all_o in_o gold_n yet_o their_o practice_n in_o this_o case_n will_v not_o have_v make_v a_o general_a rule_n or_o make_v it_o unlawful_a to_o pay_v the_o sum_n in_o silver_n no_o but_o their_o successor_n and_o other_o minister_n of_o christ_n notwithstanding_o this_o apostolical_a practice_n of_o pay_v the_o indian_n in_o gold_n may_v yet_o in_o other_o place_n have_v pay_v the_o sum_n in_o silver_n yea_o and_o will_v have_v be_v constrain_v and_o oblige_v so_o to_o do_v have_v they_o come_v to_o hire_v such_o nation_n into_o christ_n vineyard_n where_o silver_n be_v the_o current_a coin_n and_o they_o can_v not_o have_v pay_v in_o gold_n without_o great_a and_o manifold_a difficulty_n and_o inconvenience_n and_o thus_o when_o christ_n command_v his_o apostle_n to_o baptise_v all_o nation_n in_o his_o name_n he_o be_v then_o in_o those_o eastern-country_n where_o by_o reason_n of_o excessive_a heat_n wash_n and_o bathe_n be_v very_o frequent_a and_o a_o customary_a practice_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o apostle_n baptise_a in_o these_o hot_a nation_n though_o we_o suppose_v they_o to_o have_v baptise_a there_o by_o dip_v yet_o their_o practice_n in_o those_o hot_a country_n can_v reasonable_o be_v urge_v as_o general_o oblige_v we_o to_o the_o same_o way_n of_o baptise_v or_o make_v it_o unlawful_a to_o baptise_v any_o otherwise_o no_o but_o their_o successor_n and_o other_o minister_n of_o christ_n may_v yet_o in_o other_o place_n baptise_v by_o sprinkle_v yea_o and_o be_v even_o constrain_v and_o oblige_v so_o to_o do_v when_o they_o baptise_v in_o cold_a country_n where_o they_o can_v baptise_v by_o dip_v without_o great_a and_o manifest_a danger_n and_o inconvenience_n in_o short_a as_o in_o the_o aforesaid_a case_n have_v our_o
