A77749	Doctor Chamberlain visited with a bunch of his own grapes, gathered out of his own packet of letters: to know whether my answer to his question gave satisfaction, and that by his reply to partake of those rare gifts of the spirit, which he proffered to publish in Black-fryers Church. Also an answer to Dr Chamberlains reply, concerning sprinkling the baptized. / By Thomas Bakewel.	Bakewell, Thomas, b. 1618 or 19.	1650 (1650)	Wing B532; Thomason E601_4; ESTC R206402	21,189	30

only_o propound_v this_o to_o try_v the_o doctor_n whether_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o give_v you_o a_o answer_n and_o the_o mean_a time_n you_o remain_v unwilling_a to_o come_v unto_o he_o for_o it_o

for_o their_o minister_n do_v not_o put_v that_o under_o water_n but_o our_o minister_n hold_v the_o water_n over_o the_o baptize_v do_v put_v the_o baptize_v under_o water_n to_o this_o you_o be_v

and_o you_o say_v when_o i_o understand_v the_o true_a signification_n of_o baptism_n than_o i_o will_v not_o exact_a brick_n and_o allow_v no_o straw_n nor_o bid_v a_o man_n cut_v meat_n without_o a_o knife_n nor_o expect_v that_o man_n shall_v be_v baptize_v and_o not_o suffer_v they_o to_o come_v into_o the_o water_n sir_n if_o i_o keep_v sentinel_n show_v i_o your_o warrant_n from_o jesus_n

last_o argument_n show_v that_o sprinkle_v one_o part_n be_v sufficient_a because_o one_o drop_n be_v as_o true_o water_n as_o the_o whole_a ocean_n sea_n and_o that_o no_o measure_n be_v prescribe_v only_o it_o must_v be_v water_n and_o the_o baptize_v may_v be_v under_o one_o drop_n as_o well_o as_o under_o a_o tun_n yet_o not_o as_o if_o there_o be_v any_o necessity_n to_o be_v under_o it_o only_o it_o must_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o body_n that_o our_o faith_n may_v act_v upon_o the_o thing_n signify_v by_o it_o but_o here_o you_o demand_v for_o what_o be_v one_o drop_v sufficient_a to_o feed_v whale_n to_o bear_v great_a ship_n or_o to_o water_v the_o earth_n ans_fw-fr one_o drop_n be_v sufficient_a to_o show_v unto_o we_o that_o it_o be_v water_n yea_o that_o element_n which_o christ_n do_v appoint_v for_o the_o outward_a form_n of_o baptism_n when_o set_v apart_o and_o consecrate_a for_o that_o use_n by_o prayer_n and_o it_o be_v our_o work_n to_o observe_v the_o

of_o the_o body_n be_v the_o body_n and_o a_o hand_n be_v a_o foot_n i_o be_o ashamed_a of_o your_o logic_n yea_o you_o deserve_v to_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o college_n for_o a_o novice_n but_o

john_n be_v in_o aenon_n baptise_v because_o there_o be_v much_o water_n there_o hence_o it_o seem_v you_o will_v infer_v that_o

he_o plunge_v they_o into_o that_o water_n but_o where_o be_v your_o syllogism_n mr_n doctor_n will_v it_o follow_v because_o that_o john_n be_v baptise_v in_o that_o country_n where_o be_v much_o water_n that_o therefore_o they_o be_v plunge_v into_o the_o water_n he_o be_v baptise_v in_o aenon_n not_o in_o the_o water_n that_o be_v there_o but_o you_o say_v that_o i_o to_o little_a purpose_n say_v the_o baptize_v may_v be_v under_o a_o drop_n as_o well_o as_o under_o a_o tun_n but_o i_o say_v the_o thing_n be_v a_o truth_n yet_o as_o i_o say_v before_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n to_o be_v under_o the_o water_n only_o it_o must_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o body_n for_o faith_n to_o be_v act_v on_o the_o thing_n signify_v but_o you_o say_v if_o the_o dead_a be_v cover_v but_o with_o one_o grain_n of_o earth_n each_o mostrial_a will_v soon_o complain_v there_o be_v not_o sufficient_a it_o be_v true_a if_o you_o speak_v of_o that_o baptism_n but_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v not_o bury_v folk_n alive_a if_o you_o do_v you_o be_v no_o doctor_n for_o i_o nor_o any_o friend_n of_o i_o i_o come_v to_o the_o conference_n christ_n have_v with_o peter_n about_o wash_v of_o his_o foot_n joh._n 23._o peter_n say_v thou_o shall_v never_o my_o foot_n verse_n 8._o but_o say_v christ_n if_o i_o wash_v thou_o not_o thou_o have_v no_o part_n with_o i_o which_o show_v that_o this_o wash_n be_v sacramental_a then_o he_o will_v be_v plunge_v all_o over_o verse_n 9_o but_o say_v christ_n that_o need_v not_o because_o he_o be_v clean_o every_o whit_n verse_n 10._o hence_o i_o gather_v that_o to_o neglect_v the_o duty_n be_v abominable_a and_o to_o plunge_v all_o over_o be_v more_o than_o sufficient_a here_o you_o find_v a_o word_n mistake_v by_o the_o printer_n say_v thou_o have_v no_o part_n in_o i_o which_o shall_v be_v with_o i_o which_o can_v be_v no_o design_n of_o i_o in_o it_o but_o for_o this_o you_o say_v almost_o all_o the_o scripture_n that_o i_o quote_v i_o mistake_v something_o which_o show_v the_o rankor_n of_o your_o spirit_n but_o i_o pass_v it_o not_o but_o then_o because_o i_o say_v that_o wash_v be_v sacramental_a you_o say_v why_o then_o do_v not_o your_o minister_n wash_v the_o foot_n of_o infant_n rather_o than_o sprinkle_v the_o face_n which_o christ_n never_o do_v ans_fw-fr although_o it_o be_v sacramental_a to_o show_v the_o signification_n of_o baptism_n yet_o to_o wash_v the_o foot_n be_v not_o give_v in_o charge_n as_o a_o rule_n for_o the_o church_n but_o on_o what_o part_n the_o church_n shall_v see_v most_o convenient_a now_o the_o face_n be_v most_o convenient_a to_o be_v sprinkle_v first_o because_o it_o be_v always_o bate_v there_o need_v no_o strip_v nor_o shift_v for_o it_o second_o it_o be_v the_o most_o honourable_a part_n therefore_o the_o fit_a for_o so_o honourable_a a_o service_n three_o the_o face_n do_v as_o it_o be_v represent_v all_o the_o man_n four_o on_o the_o face_n to_o show_v that_o we_o be_v not_o ashamed_a of_o the_o covenant_n bear_v as_o it_o be_v the_o seal_n upon_o our_o face_n as_o a_o ornament_n or_o as_o frontlet_n between_o our_o eye_n as_o job_n speak_v and_o beside_o this_o sacrament_n be_v only_o for_o the_o present_a occasion_n as_o the_o red_a sea_n the_o cloud_n and_o the_o rock_n be_v to_o israel_n 1_o cor._n 10.2_o 3._o object_n now_o whereas_o

plunge_v under_o water_n my_o answer_n be_v that_o every_o pit_n or_o river_n in_o those_o hot_a country_n be_v not_o always_o full_a to_o the_o brim_n but_o sometime_o a_o man_n may_v go_v down_o into_o the_o pit_n or_o river_n to_o the_o water_n but_o suppose_v they_o do_v wade_v into_o the_o water_n yet_o that_o be_v not_o plunge_v under_o the_o water_n and_o to_o wade_v in_o till_o they_o come_v where_o it_o be_v clear_a and_o then_o to_o sprinkle_v they_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n may_v very_o well_o stand_v with_o the_o text._n then_o you_o fall_v to_o your_o prayer_n to_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o pit_n where_o no_o water_n be_v namely_o jeremiahs_n pit_n although_o not_o right_o quote_v which_o be_v jer._n 38.6_o as_o well_o you_o may_v have_v add_v josephs_n pit_n without_o water_n gen._n 37.24_o for_o these_o prisoner_n of_o hope_n with_o the_o rest_n of_o god_n people_n in_o egypt_n and_o babylon_n be_v bring_v forth_o and_o

pray_v you_o so_o earnest_o to_o be_v keep_v from_o the_o pit_n of_o affliction_n i_o doubt_v you_o have_v rather_o have_v the_o bastard_n portion_n see_v heb._n 12.6_o to_o 11._o i_o fear_v you_o have_v choose_v iniquity_n rather_o than_o affliction_n job_n 36.21_o but_o if_o you_o cause_v the_o righteous_a to_o go_v astray_o in_o a_o evil_a way_n you_o shall_v fall_v into_o your_o own_o pit_n prov._n 28.10_o and_o i_o doubt_v it_o be_v the_o same_o with_o that_o of_o oat_n in_o essex_n out_o of_o which_o there_o be_v no_o deliverance_n but_o present_a death_n by_o drown_v for_o which_o at_o chelmsford_n size_n he_o have_v be_v hang_v if_o he_o have_v not_o make_v the_o better_a friend_n therefore_o the_o pit_n of_o affliction_n be_v rather_o to_o be_v choose_v than_o the_o
