A77739	A confutation of the Anabaptists, and all others who affect not civill government; proving the lawfullnesse of it: and a full answer to all their cavills, that are, or can be made against it. With a nut-cracker for an unnaturall nut, whose shell is as hard as the scales of Leviathan, and the kernell of his heart as hard as a piece of the nether mill-stone, Iob 41.15.24. yet the hammer of Gods word that breaketh in pieces the rocks, Ier. 23.29. will break this nut, that all may see the devillish kernell that is in it. Also arguments against the Anabaptists, proving that infants borne of Christian parents ought to be baptized: with a full answer to all their cavills that are (or can be) made against it. Imprimatur Ja. Cranford.	Bakewell, Thomas, b. 1618 or 19.	1644 (1644)	Wing B530; Thomason E51_20; ESTC R209932	98,225	89

drink_n of_o this_o cup_n you_o do_v show_v the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v but_o what_o remembrance_n can_v be_v require_v in_o our_o infant_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o they_o never_o attain_v with_o understanding_n what_o preach_v of_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n can_v they_o comprehend_v in_o their_o mind_n none_o of_o these_o thing_n be_v prescribe_v nor_o require_v in_o baptism_n therefore_o between_o these_o two_o sign_n there_o be_v great_a difference_n and_o it_o be_v so_o between_o circumcision_n and_o the_o passover_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n for_o circumcision_n which_o be_v well_o know_v to_o answer_v our_o baptism_n be_v appoint_v for_o infant_n but_o the_o passover_n which_o our_o lord_n supper_n succeed_v do_v not_o receive_v all_o manner_n of_o guest_n without_o difference_n but_o it_o be_v right_o eat_v by_o they_o only_o that_o be_v of_o age_n &_o do_v inquire_v into_o the_o signification_n of_o it_o these_o thing_n methinks_v may_v

christians_n with_o who_o god_n have_v make_v a_o covenant_n and_o with_o their_o seed_n who_o be_v child_n of_o the_o covenant_n therefore_o as_o we_o ourselves_o have_v right_a to_o the_o seal_n of_o this_o covenant_n so_o have_v our_o infant_n as_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v bear_v although_o the_o lord_n in_o mercy_n do_v forbear_v eight_o day_n to_o the_o jew_n because_o they_o be_v then_o

that_o there_o be_v church_n which_o promise_v the_o educacation_n of_o the_o child_n in_o the_o true_a say_v three_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v whether_o the_o child_n of_o profane_a and_o wicked_a

neither_o be_v there_o any_o reason_n that_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o parent_n shall_v hinder_v the_o child_n of_o baptism_n be_v a_o thing_n pertain_v to_o life_n eternal_a four_o it_o may_v be_v

be_v you_o baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o paul_n i_o thank_v god_n i_o baptize_v none_o of_o you_o lest_o any_o shall_v say_v that_o i_o baptize_v in_o my_o own_o name_n 1_o cor._n 1.13.14_o 15._o these_o thing_n consider_v although_o they_o be_v ignorant_a and_o can_v not_o preach_v or_o wicked_a heretic_n that_o do_v administer_v it_o yet_o their_o baptism_n be_v lawful_a for_o the_o

they_o be_v in_o the_o place_n of_o good_a pastor_n and_o sit_v in_o moses_n chair_n and_o teach_v some_o of_o moses_n doctrine_n therefore_o say_v christ_n hear_v they_o 8._o it_o may_v be_v demand_v
