A45244	A treatise concerning the covenant and baptism dialogue-wise, between a Baptist & a Poedo-Baptist wherein is shewed, that believers only are the spirituall seed of Abraham, fully discovering the fallacy of the argument drawn from the birth priviledge : with some animadversions upon a book intituled Infant-baptism from heaven and not of men, defending the practise of baptizing only believers against the exceptions of M. Whiston / by Edward Hutchinson.	Hutchinson, E. M. (Edward Moss)	1676 (1676)	Wing H3829; ESTC R40518	127,506	243

see_v how_o this_o learned_a man_n ere_o he_o be_v aware_a have_v spoil_v infant-baptism_n for_o if_o baptism_n be_v a_o symbol_n of_o regeneration_n as_o undoubted_o it_o be_v then_o unless_o you_o

help_v you_o to_o say_v that_o the_o baptist_n do_v baptize_v some_o person_n that_o be_v not_o regenerate_v for_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o warrant_v our_o practice_n if_o they_o profess_v so_o to_o be_v and_o give_v we_o those_o scripture_n character_n i.e._n actual_a faith_n and_o repentance_n poed_n but_o pray_v sir_n what_o think_v you_o of_o the_o covenant_n make_v to_o abraham_n and_o his_o natural_a seed_n what_o kind_n of_o covenant_n be_v it_o bap._n i_o confess_v there_o be_v various_a opinion_n about_o it_o some_o say_v it_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n other_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n other_o a_o mix_a covenant_n but_o sure_o that_o covenant_n make_v with_o abraham_n and_o his_o natural_a seed_n call_v the_o covenant_n of_o circumcision_n or_o covenant_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o the_o covenant_n of_o eternal_a life_n and_o salvation_n which_o be_v make_v with_o all_o the_o elect_a in_o christ_n upon_o the_o condition_n of_o faith_n but_o a_o distinct_a covenant_n of_o itself_o concern_v the_o worship_n and_o service_n of_o god_n and_o so_o may_v be_v call_v a_o covenant_n of_o work_n rather_o than_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n though_o there_o be_v also_o grace_n in_o it_o as_o there_o be_v in_o all_o the_o covenant_n that_o god_n ever_o make_v with_o man_n yet_o we_o say_v it_o be_v a_o distinct_a covenant_n and_o therefore_o call_v the_o old_a covenant_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n the_o new_a covenant_n and_o if_o you_o say_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v the_o same_o in_o all_o age_n under_o various_a administration_n we_o confess_v it_o and_o say_v that_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v make_v to_o adam_n after_o the_o fall_n to_o the_o patriarch_n and_o to_o abraham_n before_o the_o covenant_n of_o circumcision_n be_v mention_v and_o be_v the_o same_o to_o we_o now_o but_o as_o we_o it_o be_v call_v new_a or_o renew_v yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v but_o this_o covenant_n of_o circumcision_n be_v a_o distinct_a covenant_n still_o for_o abraham_n and_o all_o believer_n in_o that_o age_n be_v in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n before_o this_o covenant_n be_v make_v and_o will_v have_v be_v so_o if_o the_o covenant_n of_o circumcision_n have_v never_o be_v and_o if_o you_o demand_v then_o why_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n be_v call_v the_o old_a covenant_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n the_o new_a 1._o i_o answer_v because_o of_o its_o priority_n it_o be_v the_o first_o covenant_n god_n make_v with_o man_n before_o the_o fall_n as_o protestant_a divine_n say_v that_o god_n make_v a_o covenant_n of_o work_n with_o adam_n concern_v perfect_a obedience_n which_o he_o have_v then_o power_n to_o perform_v and_o some_o think_v god_n renew_v this_o covenant_n of_o work_n after_o the_o fall_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o adam_n abel_n etc._n etc._n offer_v and_o from_o that_o scripture_n if_o thou_o do_v well_o shall_v not_o thou_o be_v accept_v if_o not_o sin_n lie_v at_o the_o door_n and_o afterward_o this_o covenant_n of_o work_n or_o covenant_n concern_v worship_n be_v renew_v to_o abraham_n and_o his_o posterity_n 2._o it_o be_v call_v the_o old_a covenant_n in_o respect_n to_o its_o deteriority_n it_o be_v a_o covenant_n find_v fault_n with_o as_o the_o scripture_n say_v 3._o in_o respect_n to_o its_o decay_a and_o perish_v nature_n it_o be_v not_o durable_a or_o last_a as_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o which_o decayeh_n and_o wax_v old_a be_v ready_a to_o perish_v mean_v this_o covenant_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v call_v the_o new_a covenant_n first_o because_o of_o its_o meliority_n or_o bitterness_n it_o be_v more_o excellent_a as_o the_o new_a heaven_n and_o the_o new_a earth_n that_o god_n will_v make_v will_v

all_o believer_n 4._o it_o be_v call_v the_o new_a covenant_n as_o to_o we_o because_o renew_v in_o a_o more_o gospel_n and_o glorious_a manner_n so_o that_o we_o be_v indeed_o still_o under_o the_o
