A84133 The Anabaptists ground-work for reformation: or, New planting of churches, that no man, woman, nor child, may be baptized, but such as have justifying faith, and doe make profession thereof, before, to the baptizer, found false, with all things depending thereon. As being contrary to the Scriptures, and to the examples of Christ and his Apostles, ... Proved by severall arguments. Whereunto one T.L. a principall baptizer, (and apostle in their account) hath given his answers. Unto which answers, replies are also made by I.E. and some arguments annexed, proving, that the children of all such beleevers as were baptized, and so received into the Church, might be baptized, and received also. With a brief declaration what the true reformation is, and shal be, farre above these Anabaptists, and all such carnall builders conceits. And who the two witnesses of God are, by whom chiefly it is to be performed. Imprimatut [sic].

at_o t._n l._n herein_o for_o there_o be_v many_o that_o will_v concur_v with_o he_o in_o this_o opinion_n of_o he_o because_o although_o every_o man_n have_v the_o gift_n and_o can_v know_v and_o

baptize_v such_o of_o who_o some_o fall_v away_o as_o also_o some_o of_o they_o do_v who_o christ_n baptize_v and_o some_o continue_a have_v obtain_v a_o more_o excellent_a precious_a faith_n by_o a_o

14.15_o 16_o 17_o 18.19.20_o if_o christ_n have_v intend_v to_o give_v a_o rule_n to_o his_o minister_n that_o they_o shall_v baptize_v none_o but_o such_o as_o have_v justify_v faith_n than_o

may_v say_v something_o to_o his_o purpose_n otherwise_o nothing_o and_o as_o for_o his_o boast_n of_o refel_v the_o agument_n i_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o reader_n to_o consider_v how_o he_o have_v do_v it_o the_o second_o argument_n if_o the_o rule_n of_o christ_n have_v be_v to_o baptize_v none_o but_o such_o disciple_n as_o be_v to_o be_v judge_v to_o have_v justify_v faith_n then_o will_v not_o christ_n have_v baptize_v any_o that_o he_o do_v not_o so_o judge_v of_o but_o christ_n do_v baptize_v such_o as_o he_o do_v not_o so_o judge_v of_o therefore_o that_o be_v not_o the_o rule_n the_o answer_n of_o t._n l._n i_o deny_v the_o major_a proposition_n because_o christ_n knowledge_n be_v above_o the_o rule_n give_v to_o the_o minister_n the_o reply_n of_o i._n e._n here_o again_o t._n l._n make_v christ_n knowledge_n a_o ground_n for_o he_o to_o practice_v above_o the_o rule_n as_o he_o call_v it_o give_v to_o the_o minister_n as_o if_o christ_n be_v so_o unmerciful_a as_o to_o enjoin_v his_o minister_n a_o rule_n to_o observe_v which_o he_o know_v they_o can_v not_o and_o that_o himself_o though_o he_o can_v will_v not_o that_o he_o may_v by_o his_o knowledge_n give_v they_o a_o contrary_a example_n not_o for_o they_o to_o follow_v though_o he_o know_v they_o can_v but_o that_o they_o must_v necessary_o either_o judge_n that_o to_o be_v which_o be_v not_o or_o that_o they_o be_v utter_o ignorant_a of_o and_o so_o sin_v not_o do_v it_o of_o faith_n this_o be_v the_o consequence_n of_o t._n l._n his_o doctrine_n the_o three_o argument_n if_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n have_v take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o all_o whosoever_o they_o baptize_v have_v before_o it_o eat_v christ_n flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n believe_v in_o he_o unto_o

of_o t._n l._n to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o some_o of_o your_o scripture_n quote_v prove_v not_o your_o proposition_n because_o that_o although_o a_o man_n have_v justify_v faith_n

also_o he_o that_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n the_o same_o be_v none_o of_o he_o second_o i_o answer_v that_o neither_o christ_n nor_o his_o apostle_n do_v require_v any_o to_o be_v baptize_v but_o such_o as_o do_v profess_v they_o have_v justify_v faith_n and_o therefore_o if_o there_o be_v any_o contradiction_n it_o be_v in_o they_o that_o do_v profess_v to_o have_v justify_v faith_n and_o have_v it_o not_o and_o not_o in_o christ_n nor_o his_o apostle_n three_o i_o answer_v that_o although_o christ_n do_v not_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v nor_o so_o judge_v of_o all_o that_o be_v admit_v to_o baptism_n to_o have_v justify_v faith_n when_o they_o be_v admit_v because_o he_o have_v power_n to_o discern_v above_o the_o rule_n give_v to_o the_o minister_n of_o

be_v the_o rule_n the_o reply_n of_o i._n e._n to_o the_o first_o where_o t._n l._n deni_v some_o of_o the_o scripture_n quote_v to_o prove_v the_o proposition_n and_o allow_v the_o rest_n he_o thereby_o grant_v the_o proposition_n prove_v but_o the_o place_n he_o except_v against_o prove_v it_o also_o for_o if_o christ_n have_v so_o judge_v and_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v than_o he_o will_v
