A27008	Rich. Baxter's review of the state of Christian's infants whether they should be entered in covenant with God by baptism ... or whether Christ, the Saviour of the world, hath shut all mankind out of his visible kingdom ... 'till they come of age? : occasioned by the importunity of Mr. E. Hutchinson (and of Mr. Danvers and Mr. Tombes) who called him to this review in order to his retractation [sic] ...; Review of the state of Christian's infants	Baxter, Richard, 1615-1691.	1676 (1676)	Wing B1372; ESTC R18045	43,710	73

so_o far_o to_o confound_v the_o state_n of_o christian_n and_o pagan_n as_o to_o their_o child_n blessing_n 5._o what_o a_o sin_n so_o to_o enlarge_v and_o honour_v the_o devil_n kingdom_n as_o to_o give_v he_o all_o mankind_n visible_o till_o they_o come_v to_o age_n 6._o what_o a_o sin_n to_o rob_v parent_n of_o so_o much_o of_o their_o due_a comfort_n 7._o what_o a_o sin_n to_o deprive_v so_o many_o million_o of_o covenant-pardon_n grace_n and_o life_n by_o hinder_v the_o acceptance_n and_o consent_n 8._o what_o a_o sin_n thus_o to_o change_v and_o take_v from_o the_o word_n yea_o from_o the_o very_a covenant_n of_o god_n 9_o what_o a_o sin_n to_o vilify_v so_o great_a mercy_n as_o if_o it_o be_v none_o and_o to_o preach_v such_o ingratitude_n 10._o what_o a_o sin_n so_o to_o dishonour_n christ_n as_o if_o sin_n abound_v so_o much_o more_o than_o his_o grace_n as_o that_o all_o infant_n be_v visible_o condemn_v not_o one_o in_o the_o world_n be_v visible_o pardon_v or_o justify_v 11._o yea_o to_o make_v christ_n so_o like_o satan_n and_o contrary_a to_o himself_o as_o to_o come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o cast_v or_o keep_v all_o mankind_n in_o infancy_n out_o of_o the_o church_n and_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o when_o his_o name_n be_v call_v jesus_n because_o he_o save_v his_o people_n from_o their_o sin_n he_o will_v take_v none_o for_o his_o people_n till_o age_n nor_o save_v any_o infant_n visible_o from_o sin_n either_o guilt_n or_o habit_n and_o so_o be_v no_o jesus_n to_o any_o but_o the_o adult_n that_o we_o can_v know_v of_o when_o yet_o before_o his_o come_n it_o be_v otherwise_o and_o so_o to_o make_v the_o gospel_n much_o hard_a than_o the_o law_n and_o the_o yoke_n of_o christ_n hard_a than_o the_o yoke_n of_o circumcision_n 12._o yea_o and_o to_o make_v the_o gospel_n church_n more_o narrow_a and_o unhappy_a than_o all_o the_o pagan_a nation_n be_v before_o who_o child_n may_v have_v be_v proselit_v with_o the_o parent_n 13._o what_o a_o sin_n be_v it_o to_o teach_v man_n to_o be_v thus_o unnatural_a and_o cruel_a to_o their_o offspring_n 14._o what_o a_o sin_n to_o teach_v all_o that_o be_v not_o rebaptise_v that_o they_o break_v no_o baptismal_a vow_n or_o covenant_n nor_o sin_n against_o it_o because_o they_o never_o be_v baptise_a 15._o and_o be_v it_o nothing_o so_o to_o cross_v our_o prayer_n let_v thy_o kingdom_n come_v and_o too_o pray_v and_o endeavour_v that_o christ_n kingdom_n may_v not_o extend_v to_o any_o of_o mankind_n till_o they_o actual_o at_o age_n believe_v but_o the_o great_a difficulty_n which_o it_o will_v be_v expect_v that_o i_o resolve_v be_v whether_o i_o do_v not_o imply_v that_o all_o the_o child_n of_o true_a christian_n dedicate_v to_o god_n have_v save_a grace_n in_o their_o infancy_n many_o after_o fall_v from_o it_o see_v experience_n tell_v we_o that_o too_o many_o prove_v ungodly_a i_o answer_v 1._o so_o much_o of_o scripture_n and_o so_o great_a and_o many_o mercy_n must_v not_o be_v all_o deny_v when_o a_o difficulty_n arise_v in_o the_o way_n which_o we_o can_v at_o the_o present_a answer_n else_o what_o will_v become_v of_o most_o man_n christianity_n itself_o 2._o this_o be_v no_o difficulty_n to_o the_o ancient_a father_n no_o not_o to_o augustin_n and_o his_o follower_n and_o so_o to_o all_o the_o know_a church_n of_o christ_n for_o a_o thousand_o year_n after_o the_o apostle_n who_o common_o hold_v that_o even_o of_o the_o adult_n many_o fall_n from_o true_a grace_n justification_n and_o a_o state_n of_o life_n some_o appropriate_a perseverance_n to_o the_o elect_n as_o austin_n and_o some_o to_o the_o confirm_a in_o grace_n and_o some_o to_o both_o 3._o it_o be_v hard_a that_o they_o that_o can_v extricate_v themselves_o out_o of_o such_o difficulty_n will_v but_o reproach_v those_o that_o offer_v they_o their_o help_n but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o first_o time_n that_o i_o have_v venture_v upon_o their_o ingratitude_n i_o speak_v of_o it_o still_o as_o a_o difficulty_n but_o what_o i_o have_v say_v in_o my_o more_o reason_n for_o infant_n church-membership_a seem_v most_o probable_a to_o i_o viz._n 1._o all_o christian_n confess_v that_o adam_n fall_v from_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n or_o right_a to_o life_n at_o present_a 2._o adam_n grace_n which_o he_o lose_v be_v a_o power_n to_o love_n god_n and_o obey_v he_o which_o he_o can_v use_v or_o suspend_v 3._o beyond_o a_o mere_a power_n there_o be_v in_o the_o sanctify_a by_o the_o indwelling_a spirit_n of_o adoption_n gracious_a habit_n of_o love_n and_o obedience_n what_o adam_n have_v of_o this_o i_o be_o not_o here_o to_o determine_v 4._o beyond_o mere_a weak_a habit_n there_o be_v in_o some_o such_o habit_n as_o be_v strong_a confirm_v and_o radicate_v 5._o and_o in_o heaven_n above_o all_o these_o there_o be_v full_a perfection_n now_o i_o apply_v this_o 1._o actual_a and_o habitual_a love_n and_o obedience_n be_v in_o the_o sanctify_a adult_n by_o the_o indwelling_a spirit_n for_o actual_a love_n and_o obedience_n be_v their_o duty_n which_o the_o habit_n be_v join_v to_o 2._o vocation_n give_v faith_n and_o repentance_n in_o act_n with_o some_o seminal_a disposition_n to_o the_o say_a act_n and_o habit_n of_o love_n and_o obedience_n as_o amesius_n medulla_n de_fw-fr orat._n not_o yet_o habit_n and_o this_o vocation_n go_v before_o sanctification_n faith_n be_v the_o condition_n on_o which_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n and_o sanctification_n be_v promise_v 3._o so_o much_o grace_n may_v be_v give_v to_o infant_n as_o be_v to_o adam_n as_o to_o mere_a power_n to_o do_v what_o he_o do_v not_o and_o as_o the_o dominican_n call_v sufficient_a or_o necessary_a grace_n and_o perhaps_o such_o as_o be_v the_o innitial_a disposition_n before_o full_a sanctification_n and_o this_o much_o may_v qualify_v they_o for_o present_a pardon_n and_o justification_n for_o actual_a love_n and_o obedience_n be_v not_o their_o duty_n and_o consequent_o not_o the_o proper_a habit_n beyond_o a_o power_n and_o seminal_a disposition_n as_o of_o necessity_n to_o their_o first_o state_n of_o grace_n and_o as_o adam_n lose_v this_o much_o so_o may_v they_o 4._o the_o sanctify_a spirit_n of_o adoption_n be_v not_o promise_v to_o infant_n to_o work_v such_o act_n in_o they_o as_o they_o be_v not_o yet_o capable_a of_o nor_o such_o habit_n as_o in_o god_n usual_a order_n follow_v such_o act_n but_o he_o be_v relate_v to_o they_o as_o their_o sanctifier_n because_o christ_n will_v send_v the_o spirit_n as_o they_o come_v to_o the_o use_n of_o reason_n to_o help_v they_o in_o holy_a act_n and_o so_o to_o habit_n if_o they_o forfeit_v not_o his_o help_n which_o some_o do_v beside_o the_o perfidious_a neglect_n of_o parent_n and_o so_o lose_v that_o infant-grace_n 5._o but_o all_o god_n elect_n shall_v certain_o have_v more_o than_o this_o grace_n of_o sufficient_a necessary_a losable_a power_n and_o disposition_n and_o shall_v at_o age_n have_v actual_a faith_n love_n and_o obedience_n if_o they_o live_v 6._o what_o ever_o infant_n die_v in_o the_o state_n of_o that_o grace_n &_o disposition_n which_o we_o call_v sufficient_a &_o in_o its_o nature_n be_v as_o loseable_a as_o adam_n shall_v be_v perfect_v in_o his_o access_n to_o the_o perfect_a glory_n as_o all_o imperfect_a saint_n be_v and_o be_v one_o of_o the_o elect_n and_o shall_v by_o promise_n be_v save_v allow_v degree_n of_o glory_n if_o there_o be_v no_o need_n or_o evidence_n of_o this_o solution_n and_o you_o have_v any_o other_o sure_a way_n than_o cast_v this_o by_o as_o rot_a dictate_v thus_o far_o i_o have_v give_v you_o a_o account_n of_o my_o review_n but_o yet_o i_o here_o repeat_v again_o that_o if_o you_o will_v be_v content_v yourselves_o to_o satisfy_v your_o own_o conscience_n to_o be_v rebaptise_v as_o one_o that_o doubt_v whether_o he_o be_v well_o marry_v will_v secure_v it_o by_o be_v marry_v over_o again_o and_o will_v afterward_o live_v peaceable_o in_o communion_n with_o your_o brethren_n and_o not_o appropriate_a church-communion_n to_o your_o sect._n and_o if_o you_o will_v not_o deny_v our_o infant_n part_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n the_o promise_n of_o pardon_n and_o life_n by_o christ_n and_o our_o infant_n church-membership_a and_o only_o delay_v the_o baptismal_a investiture_n as_o tertullian_n desire_v for_o the_o more_o solemn_a inauguration_n and_o obligation_n though_o i_o shall_v not_o be_v of_o your_o mind_n i_o shall_v live_v in_o as_o love_a forbearance_n and_o communion_n with_o you_o as_o with_o other_o christian_n but_o if_o when_o we_o be_v for_o peace_n you_o be_v for_o church-war_n and_o can_v differ_v from_o we_o without_o divide_v unchurch_a unchristen_a avoid_v and_o even_o contemn_v or_o slander_v almost_o all_o the_o
