A39697	Vindiciæ legis & fœderis: or, A reply to Mr. Philip Cary's Solemn call Wherein he pretends to answer all the arguments of Mr. Allen, Mr. Baxter, Mr. Sydenham, Mr. Sedgwick, Mr. Roberts, and Dr. Burthogge, for the right of believers infants to baptism, by proving the law at Sinai, and the covenant of circumcision with Abraham, were the very same with Adam's covenant of works, and that because the gospel-covenant is absolute.

circumcision_n be_v draw_v from_o their_o compleatness_n in_o christ_n without_o it_o vers_n 9_o &_o 10._o and_o that_o whatsoever_o they_o have_v under_o circumcision_n they_o now_o enjoy_v in_o as_o complete_a and_o full_a a_o measure_n and_o manner_n as_o ever_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n do_v and_o you_o be_v complete_a in_o he_o i._n e._n in_o christ._n 3._o to_o evince_v this_o he_o

external_a sign_n thereof_o too_o both_o be_v full_o answer_v in_o baptism_n in_o who_o also_o you_o be_v circumcise_v with_o the_o circumcision_n make_v without_o hand_n in_o put_v off_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o flesh_n by_o the_o circumcision_n of_o christ_n bury_v with_o he_o in_o baptism_n ver_fw-la 11_o 12._o that_o be_v look_v as_o before_o inward_a circumcision_n of_o the_o heart_n be_v signify_v by_o outward_a circumcision_n of_o the_o flesh_n as_o the_o proper_a direct_a and_o appoint_a sign_n of_o it_o so_o now_o the_o same_o inward_a circumcision_n or_o regeneration_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v as_o real_o and_o full_o signif●…ed_v to_o you_o by_o the_o new_a gospel_n sign_n of_o it_o which_o be_v baptism_n and_o therefore_o you_o be_v as_o complete_a in_o respect_n both_o of_o outward_a and_o inward_a privilege_n now_o as_o ever_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n be_v do_v but_o convert_v the_o proposition_n and_o suppose_v the_o apostle_n design_n have_v be_v to_o take_v they_o off_o from_o baptism_n and_o bring_v they_o back_o to_o circumcision_n and_o in_o order_n to_o it_o have_v say_v in_o who_o you_o be_v also_o baptize_v with_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n be_v circumcise_v with_o he_o will_v not_o the_o substitution_n of_o circumcision_n in_o the_o place_n of_o baptism_n have_v be_v clear_a and_o why_o be_v not_o this_o as_o clear_a as_o that_o will_v have_v be_v 4._o we_o further_o say_v that_o except_o he_o have_v intend_v in_o these_o word_n to_o have_v place_v baptism_n as_o a_o external_a ordinance_n in_o place_n and_o stead_n of_o outward_a circumcision_n he_o can_v never_o have_v pitch_v upon_o a_o worse_a instance_n than_o that_o of_o circumcision_n which_o be_v so_o much_o value_v by_o they_o yea_o from_o the_o very_a instance_n he_o bring_v he_o have_v put_v a_o strong_a objection_n into_o their_o month_n against_o his_o assertion_n vers_fw-la 10._o that_o we_o be_v every_o way_n as_o complete_a without_o it_o as_o the_o jew_n be_v with_o it_o for_o than_o their_o child_n enjoy_v a_o ordinance_n of_o great_a value_n which_o we_o be_v deprive_v of_o have_v none_o under_o the_o gospel_n in_o lieu_n of_o it_o hence_o we_o argue_v argument_n if_o the_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n now_o be_v appoint_v to_o answer_v the_o same_o end_v that_o circumcision_n do_v to_o the_o jew_n and_o to_o make_v we_o every_o way_n as_o complete_a in_o privilege_n as_o circumcision_n do_v they_o than_o it_o come_v in_o the_o place_n and_o room_n of_o it_o and_o our_o child_n have_v the_o same_o right_n to_o this_o as_o they_o have_v to_o that_o but_o the_o antecedent_n be_v plain_a from_o the_o scope_n and_o argument_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o text_n and_o context_n ergo_fw-la so_o be_v the_o consequent_a the_o sum_n of_o your_o answer_n be_v 1._o that_o circumcision_n in_o the_o flesh_n be_v neither_o express_v nor_o mean_v here_o but_o that_o of_o christ_n in_o his_o own_o person_n 2._o that_o if_o baptism_n have_v be_v intend_v to_o have_v come_v in_o the_o place_n of_o circumcision_n than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o female_n must_v be_v exclude_v from_o baptism_n reply_n your_o first_o answer_n be_v manifest_o false_a for_o if_o the_o apostle_n distinguish_v of_o a_o twofold_a circumcision_n one_o make_v with_o hand_n the_o other_o make_v without_o hand_n then_o it_o be_v manifest_a he_o mean_v circumcision_n in_o the_o flesh_n which_o be_v now_o abolish_v and_o all_o its_o end_n and_o use_v answer_v in_o gospel-baptism_n and_o whereas_o you_o say_v the_o circumcision_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v no_o other_o but_o the_o circumcision_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o own_o person_n i_o will_v glad_o know_v how_o the_o colossian_n be_v say_v to_o be_v circumcise_v in_o christ_n personal_a circumcision_n only_o and_o whether_o the_o baptism_n here_o speak_v of_o wherewith_o they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v bury_v with_o he_o be_v not_o mean_v of_o christ_n personal_a baptism_n too_o and_o consequent_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o the_o outward_a ordinance_n to_o pass_v upon_o they_o or_o we_o but_o especial_o it_o be_v worth_a while_n for_o
