A12552	The character of the beast, or, The false constitution of the church discovered in certayne passages betwixt Mr. R. Clifton & Iohn Smyth, concerning true Christian baptisme of new creatures, or new borne babes in Christ, &nd false baptisme of infants borne after the flesh : referred to two propositions, 1. That infants are not to bee baptized, 2. That antichristians converted are to bee admitted into the true church by baptisme.	Smyth, John, d. 1612.	1609 (1609)	STC 22875; ESTC S991	85,221	80

they_o may_v now_o speak_v for_o by_o publish_v answer_n to_o their_o reason_n we_o do_v challendg_v all_o the_o separation_n in_o special_a to_o the_o combat_n be_v it_o know_v therefore_o to_o all_o the_o separation_n that_o we_o account_v they_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o constitution_n to_o be_v as_o very_o a_o h●●●ot_n as_o either_o her_o mother_n england_n or_o her_o grandmother_n rome_n be_v out_o of_o who_o loin_n she_o come_v &_o although_o once_o in_o our_o ignorance_n we_o have_v acknowledge_v she_o a_o true_a chu_n yet_o now_o be_v better_o inform_v we_o revoke_v that_o our_o

all_o those_o church_n that_o baptise_v infant_n be_v of_o the_o same_o false_a constitution_n &_o all_o those_o chu_n that_o baptize_v the_o new_a creature_n those_o that_o be_v make_v disciple_n by_o teach_v man_n conse●ing_v their_o faith_n &_o their_o sin_n be_v of_o one_o true_a constitution_n &_o therefore_o the_o chu_n of_o the_o separation_n be_v of_o the_o same_o constitution_n with_o england_n &_o rome_n be_v a_o most_o unnatural_a daughter_n to_o her_o mother_n england_n &_o her_o grandmother_n rome_n who_o be_v of_o the_o self_n fame_n genealogy_n &_o generation_n that_o of_o the_o prophet_n be_v true_a of_o she_o as_o be_v the_o mother_n so_o be_v the_o daughter_n she_o dare_v notwithstanding_o most_o impudent_o wipe_v she_o own_o mouth_n &_o call_v her_o mother_n &_o

mother_n england_n a_o harlot_n &_o upon_o a_o false_a ground_n make_v our_o separation_n from_o she_o for_o although_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o we_o separate_a from_o england_n yet_o no_o man_n

we_o desire_v may_v be_v well_o mind_v of_o all_o that_o separate_a from_o england_n for_o if_o they_o retain_v the_o baptism_n of_o england_n viz_n the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n as_o true_a baptism_n they_o can_v separate_a from_o england_n as_o from_o a_o false_a chu_n though_o they_o may_v separate_a for_o corruption_n &_o whosoever_o do_v separate_a from_o england_n as_o from_o a_o false_a

of_o england_n false_a &_o to_o the_o reject_a neither_o can_v the_o chu_n of_o england_n possible_o be_v false_a except_o the_o baptism_n be_v false_a unless_o a_o true_a constitution_n can_v be_v

but_o still_o you_o build_v upon_o a_o false_a fondation_n as_o you_o see_v assume_v that_o which_o be_v the_o question_n viz_n that_o baptism_n in_o popery_n be_v the_o lord_n three_o i_o answer_v again_o that_o if_o antichrist_n have_v retain_v the_o l._n true_a baptism_n as_o i_o have_v describe_v true_a i_o say_v in_o the_o definition_n viz_n that_o he_o have_v baptize_v person_n confess_v their_o sin_n &_o faith_n into_o the_o trinity_n or_o into_o jesus_n christ_n it_o shall_v not_o have_v be_v repeat_v but_o see_v he_o intend_v in_o baptism_n to_o set_v a_o indelible_a character_n upon_o they_o which_o be_v the_o mark_n of_o the_o beast_n to_o confer_v grace_n ex_fw-la opere_fw-la operato_fw-la to_o the_o infant_n which_o he_o wash_v another_o promise_a &_o answer_v for_o they_o credo_fw-la &_o abrenuntio_fw-la which_o the_o party_n baptize_v shall_v himself_o perform_v hence_o i_o conclude_v that_o he_o have_v set_v up_o his_o own_o idol_n of_o abomination_n &_o cast_v the_o l._n holy_a ordinance_n away_o have_v essentia_o destroy_v the_o primitive_a apostolic_a baptism_n go_v his_o baptism_n be_v a_o nullity_n or_o rather_o a_o seal_n of_o perdition_n to_o they_o that_o retain_v it_o the_o amplification_n which_o you_o bring_v to_o this_o argument_n i_o omit_v as_o a_o thing_n not_o deny_v but_o yield_v unto_o that_o god_n can_v work_v by_o a_o false_a

of_o some_o humane_a devise_n use_v in_o the_o administration_n thereof_o yet_o be_v it_o true_a baptism_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o matter_n form_n &_o author_n thereof_o which_o cause_v it_o to_o

in_o respect_n of_o humane_a devise_n use_v in_o the_o ministration_n thereof_o yet_o be_v true_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o matter_n form_n &_o author_n thereof_o &_o in_o your_o answer_n to_o my_o

the_o true_a form_n be_v wash_v into_o the_o trinity_n i_o will_v yield_v unto_o you_o but_o this_o you_o have_v not_o prove_v &_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v the_o contrary_a but_o yet_o to_o deal_v something_o more_o full_o in_o this_o point_n which_o be_v the_o main_n pillar_n &_o chief_a corner_n stone_n of_o the_o fondation_n i_o say_v 1._o water_n be_v not_o the_o matter_n of_o baptism_n but_o only_o the_o instrument_n of_o baptism_n for_o as_o fire_n be_v the_o instrument_n of_o burn_a so_o be_v water_n of_o wash_v the_o matter_n of_o burn_v be_v the_o fuel_n that_o be_v burn_v so_o

the_o matter_n of_o the_o church_n be_v the_o disciple_n of_o saint_n the_o matter_n of_o the_o ministry_n be_v the_o prophet_n so_o the_o matter_n of_o baptism_n be_v the_o person_n upon_o who_o

of_o the_o father_n son_n &_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o the_o form_n of_o baptism_n for_o to_o wash_v a_o turk_n jew_n fool_n mad_a man_n or_o infant_n into_o the_o trinity_n be_v not_o ●●ne_v baptism_n but_o it_o be_v so_o if_o simple_o to_o baptize_v into_o the_o trinity_n be_v the_o form_n of_o baptism_n therefore_o to_o baptise_v the_o true_a matter_n into_o the_o true_a faith_n or_o into_o christ_n or_o the_o new_a testament_n or_o the_o trinity_n or_o into_o the_o true_a body_n be_v the_o true_a form_n of_o baptism_n so_o that_o the_o true_a matter_n of_o baptism_n be_v a_o new_a creature_n one_o regenerate_v a_o confessor_n as_o the_o true_a matter_n of_o circumcision_n be_v a_o male_a of_o eigt_n day_n old_a either_o lineal_o descend_v of_o abraham_n or_o a_o

of_o baptism_n consist_v in_o three_o thing_n 1._o wash_v with_o water_n 2._o a_o new_a creature_n 3._o into_o the_o name_n of_o chr._n or_o into_o the_o trinity_n for_o i_o think_v we_o be_v not_o tie_v to_o form_n of_o word_n &_o so_o if_o antichr_n have_v wash_v any_o i_o say_v i_o will_v never_o consent_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v rebaptise_v but_o hold_v that_o anabaptistery_n true_a heresy_n but_o if_o a_o infant_n that_o be_v not_o the_o matter_n of_o baptism_n or_o a_o wicked_a man_n mad_a man_n fool_n turk_n or_o jew_n or_o any_o pagan_a be_v wash_v with_o water_n into_o the_o trinity_n i_o say_v there_o be_v neither_o true_a matter_n nor_o form_n of_o baptism_n &_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o author_n thereof_o &_o therefore_o the_o baptism_n of_o antichrist_n be_v not_o christ_n but_o his_o own_o &_o so_o all_o infant_n baptize_v by_o antichrist_n be_v either_o unbaptise_v or_o have_v the_o mark_n of_o the_o beast_n &_o so_o be_v to_o renounce_v it_o &_o to_o receive_v christ_n mark_n of_o baptism_n or_o else_o woe_n be_v to_o they_o &_o when_o they_o shall_v manifest_v a_o new_a creature_n &_o christ_n the_o male_a be_v form_v in_o they_o &_o they_o confess_v with_o their_o mouth_n &_o then_o be_v baptize_v into_o the_o trinity_n this_o be_v not_o anabaptistery_n but_o the_o true_a primitive_a apostolic_a baptism_n &_o so_o christ_n john_n christ_n apostle_n be_v anabaptist_n with_o you_o sir_n for_o they_o baptize_v man_n that_o have_v be_v wash_v before_o a_o thousand_o time_n with_o the_o jew_n baptism_n heb._n 9.10_o which_o baptism_n be_v also_o into_o the_o messiah_n no_o doubt_n in_o those_o that_o see_v the_o end_n off_o those_o figure_n but_o if_o it_o be_v blasphemy_n to_o say_v that_o christ_n john_n &_o the_o apostle_n be_v anabaptist_n though_o they_o be_v of_o time_n some_o of_o they_o baptize_v into_o the_o messiah_n in_o type_n because_o they_o be_v only_o once_o baptize_v true_o &_o indeed_o so_o shall_v it_o be_v blasphemy_n in_o all_o they_o that_o call_v the_o true_a christian_n anabaptist_n that_o baptize_v new_a creature_n once_o only_o into_o christ_n though_o baptize_v before_o by_o

any_o thing_n else_o be_v hence_o therefore_o i_o conclude_v undeniable_o that_o see_v popish_a baptism_n have_v a_o false_a matter_n &_o a_o false_a form_n therefore_o it_o be_v antichrist_n idol_n asmuch_o as_o a_o false_a ministry_n &_o a_o false_a church_n be_v &_o so_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o the_o author_n of_o it_o &_o thereupon_o though_o the_o scripture_n &_o god_n word_n be_v retain_v
