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.

the_o promise_n in_o gen._n 17.7_o be_v bring_v to_o prove_v that_o god_n make_v a_o covenant_n of_o eternal_a life_n with_o believer_n and_o their_o child_n the_o text_n speak_v of_o a_o covenant_n

i_o be_o the_o apostle_n be_v of_o another_o mind_n who_o when_o he_o expound_v the_o covenant_n gen._n 17.7_o understand_v it_o to_o be_v make_v to_o abraham_n as_o it_o contain_v gospel_n blessing_n
