A43469	Some plain letters in the defence of infant baptism and of the mode of baptizing (now generally used in the Church of England), which may serve, for a confutation of a small treatise entituled The reason why not infant-sprinkling, but believers-baptism ought to be approved, &c.

every_o way_n alter_v for_o the_o better_a but_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o any_o one_o privilege_n of_o enter_v into_o it_o nay_o but_o certain_o as_o child_n be_v admit_v into_o the_o church_n before_o that_o reformation_n so_o be_v they_o to_o be_v admit_v still_o unless_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o reformation_n to_o exclude_v they_o and_o thus_o upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n it_o be_v very_o plain_a that_o unless_o our_o bless_a saviour_n have_v forbid_v infant_n to_o be_v admit_v into_o his_o church_n they_o be_v still_o to_o be_v admit_v whether_o he_o have_v command_v their_o admission_n or_o no._n and_o here_o i_o may_v fix_v the_o controversy_n and_o justify_v their_o admission_n till_o you_o can_v prove_v that_o our_o lord_n have_v forbid_v it_o which_o i_o dare_v venture_v to_o say_v you_o will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o do_v nay_o but_o our_o lord_n have_v not_o only_o not_o forbid_v their_o admission_n into_o the_o church_n but_o he_o have_v express_o teach_v and_o command_v it_o for_o first_o that_o child_n ought_v to_o be_v admit_v into_o his_o church_n he_o have_v express_o teach_v in_o that_o celebrate_a text_n suffer_v little_a child_n to_o come_v unto_o i_o and_o forbid_v they_o not_o for_o of_o such_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n which_o text_n be_v speak_v by_o way_n of_o reprimand_n to_o his_o disciple_n who_o will_v have_v keep_v child_n from_o he_o and_o therefore_o when_o he_o reprove_v they_o and_o say_v suffer_v little_a child_n to_o come_v unto_o i_o he_o must_v needs_o mean_v such_o child_n as_o they_o will_v have_v keep_v from_o he_o but_o these_o be_v such_o as_o be_v bring_v unto_o he_o and_o such_o as_o he_o take_v up_o in_o his_o arm_n and_o be_v therefore_o little_a child_n in_o a_o literal_a sense_n the_o word_n indeed_o be_v suffer_v little_a child_n to_o come_v unto_o i_o and_o therefore_o say_v some_o let_v they_o stay_v then_o till_o they_o can_v come_v but_o if_o this_o be_v our_o saviour_n meaning_n may_v not_o his_o disciple_n very_o ready_o have_v answer_v lord_n we_o have_v not_o hinder_v any_o such_o from_o come_v that_o can_v come_v all_o that_o we_o have_v do_v be_v only_o to_o rebuke_n those_o that_o bring_v their_o child_n and_o thus_o if_o child_n may_v not_o be_v bring_v to_o christ_n but_o if_o they_o be_v to_o be_v keep_v back_o till_o they_o themselves_o can_v come_v to_o he_o i_o can_v see_v what_o the_o disciple_n have_v here_o do_v for_o our_o lord_n to_o be_v displease_v at_o and_o yet_o the_o text_n say_v positive_o that_o he_o be_v much_o displease_v and_o say_v suffer_v little_a child_n to_o come_v unto_o i_o mark_v 10.14_o and_o therefore_o unless_o we_o have_v no_o more_o grace_n or_o wit_n than_o to_o say_v that_o he_o be_v displease_v at_o nothing_o we_o must_v allow_v that_o the_o child_n who_o he_o will_v have_v suffer_v to_o come_v to_o he_o be_v such_o as_o his_o disciple_n will_v have_v keep_v from_o he_o and_o these_o be_v such_o as_o be_v bring_v unto_o he_o and_o such_o as_o he_o take_v up_o in_o his_o arms._n but_o perhaps_o you_o will_v say_v what_o then_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n to_o come_v unto_o i_o suffer_v little_a child_n to_o come_v unto_o i_o sir_n i_o find_v a_o answer_n make_v to_o this_o by_o mr._n walker_n viz._n that_o to_o come_v unto_o christ_n signify_v to_o become_v a_o disciple_n of_o christ_n for_o so_o when_o our_o saviour_n say_v come_v unto_o i_o all_o you_o that_o labour_n his_o meaning_n be_v become_v disciple_n to_o i_o mat._n 11.28_o and_o again_o when_o it_o be_v say_v behold_v jesus_n baptize_v and_o all_o man_n come_v to_o he_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o they_o all_o become_v his_o disciple_n john_n 3.26_o and_o again_o you_o will_v not_o come_v to_o i_o say_v our_o lord_n that_o be_v you_o will_v not_o become_v my_o disciple_n john_n 5.4_o the_o same_o excellent_a author_n have_v observe_v from_o dr._n hammond_n that_o we_o may_v read_v the_o word_n proselyte_n in_o the_o very_a original_a text_n mat._n 19.14_o for_o there_o the_o original_a word_n be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o turn_v into_o english_a do_v even_o compose_v and_o make_v up_o the_o word_n proselyte_n and_o so_o in_o st._n matthew_n i_o say_v the_o original_a word_n be_v suffer_v little_a child_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d that_o be_v to_o be_v proselyte_n to_o i_o or_o to_o be_v my_o disciple_n for_o to_o be_v a_o proselyte_n and_o to_o be_v a_o disciple_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n as_o when_o our_o lord_n say_v to_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n that_o they_o have_v compass_a sea_n and_o land_n to_o make_v one_o proselyte_n the_o meaning_n be_v that_o they_o have_v compass_v sea_n and_o land_n to_o make_v one_o disciple_n and_o thus_o have_v our_o lord_n very_o plain_o teach_v we_o that_o little_a child_n must_v be_v suffer_v to_o become_v his_o disciple_n yea_o and_o he_o far_o add_v that_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v forbid_v and_o then_o give_v such_o a_o reason_n for_o it_o as_o may_v put_v the_o matter_n beyond_o all_o dispute_n for_o of_o such_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n that_o be_v little_a child_n be_v not_o to_o be_v forbid_v become_v his_o disciple_n because_o of_o such_o even_o of_o such_o as_o be_v bring_v unto_o he_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n both_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n which_o be_v the_o church_n militant_a here_o on_o earth_n and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n which_o be_v the_o church_n triumphant_a in_o heaven_n and_o thus_o we_o have_v a_o plain_a scripture_n text_n wherein_o our_o bless_a lord_n have_v very_o clear_o teach_v we_o that_o little_a child_n be_v to_o be_v suffer_v and_o not_o to_o be_v forbid_v be_v admit_v into_o his_o church_n and_o this_o be_v according_a to_o that_o ancient_a prophecy_n foretell_v the_o conversion_n of_o the_o gentile_n to_o christianity_n thus_o say_v the_o lord_n god_n i_o will_v lift_v up_o my_o hand_n to_o the_o gentile_n and_o set_v up_o my_o standard_n to_o the_o people_n and_o they_o shall_v bring_v thy_o son_n in_o their_o arm_n and_o thy_o daughter_n shall_v be_v carry_v upon_o their_o shoulder_n isa_n 49.22_o and_o this_o be_v no_o more_o than_o what_o our_o lord_n himself_o do_v foretell_v when_o he_o so_o plain_o intimate_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v lamb_n in_o his_o flock_n as_o well_o as_o sheep_n john_n 21.15_o but_o sir_n if_o you_o will_v see_v more_o and_o large_a proof_n of_o this_o matter_n you_o may_v consult_v mr._n baxter_n book_n call_v plain_a scripture-proof_n of_o infant_n church-membership_n and_o baptism_n wherein_o he_o have_v prove_v that_o child_n ought_v to_o be_v admit_v into_o christ_n church_n by_o no_o few_o than_o six_o and_o twenty_o distinct_a argument_n well_o but_o then_o the_o next_o question_n be_v how_o be_v they_o to_o be_v admit_v i_o answer_v by_o baptism_n for_o ordinary_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n of_o admission_n as_o i_o shall_v prove_v by_o and_o by_o but_o here_o i_o will_v take_v notice_n of_o a_o objection_n that_o i_o find_v have_v be_v often_o start_v upon_o this_o occasion_n if_o little_a child_n be_v to_o be_v admit_v into_o christ_n church_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n of_o admit_v they_o but_o by_o baptism_n why_o then_o do_v not_o our_o lord_n baptise_v those_o child_n that_o be_v bring_v unto_o he_o i_o answer_v because_o our_o lord_n never_o baptise_a any_o with_o water_n but_o than_o it_o may_v be_v ask_v again_o why_o do_v he_o not_o command_v his_o disciple_n to_o baptise_v they_o i_o answer_v again_o because_o his_o hour_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v for_o he_o never_o that_o we_o read_v of_o command_v his_o disciple_n to_o baptise_v any_o or_o any_o to_o be_v baptise_a by_o they_o till_o after_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n but_o sir_n give_v i_o leave_v brief_o to_o remind_v you_o of_o what_o i_o have_v observe_v in_o my_o first_o letter_n concern_v the_o outward_a and_o the_o inward_a part_n of_o baptism_n for_o i_o therein_o show_v you_o that_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n do_v but_o baptise_v with_o water_n which_o be_v the_o outward_a part_n of_o that_o sacrament_n it_o be_v christ_n himself_n who_o baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o with_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v the_o inward_a part_n and_o here_o i_o will_v far_o observe_v that_o our_o lord_n have_v not_o so_o tie_v up_o himself_o to_o the_o use_n of_o outward_a mean_n but_o he_o can_v if_o he_o please_v and_o will_v for_o just_a and_o wise_a reason_n perform_v the_o inward_a part_n without_o they_o for_o thus_o shall_v a_o infidel_n or_o a_o jew_n be_v convert_v to_o christianity_n and_o earnest_o desire_v baptism_n and_o shall_v

the_o minister_n of_o christ_n to_o who_o he_o have_v the_o opportunity_n of_o apply_v himself_o for_o that_o purpose_n be_v all_o so_o unfaithful_a as_o to_o refuse_v to_o baptise_v he_o yea_o though_o he_o seek_v and_o beg_v of_o they_o so_o to_o do_v with_o tear_n in_o such_o a_o case_n as_o this_o where_o the_o outward_a baptism_n with_o water_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v slight_v that_o it_o be_v earnest_o desire_v and_o yet_o can_v not_o be_v have_v upon_o any_o term_n whatsoever_o in_o such_o a_o case_n as_o this_o i_o say_v i_o can_v think_v that_o the_o unfaithfulness_n of_o christ_n minister_n in_o dispense_n the_o outward_a part_n of_o the_o sacrament_n will_v hinder_v our_o lord_n from_o do_v the_o inward_a part_n which_o be_v to_o baptise_v with_o the_o spirit_n and_o this_o seem_v to_o have_v be_v the_o case_n of_o the_o little_a child_n bring_v unto_o he_o his_o disciple_n rebuke_v those_o that_o bring_v they_o and_o will_v not_o by_o any_o mean_n have_v have_v they_o come_v unto_o christ_n or_o become_v his_o disciple_n and_o for_o this_o our_o lord_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d be_v very_o much_o displease_v and_o in_o this_o great_a displeasure_n he_o seem_v to_o have_v intimate_v thus_o much_o to_o they_o that_o though_o they_o or_o any_o other_o of_o his_o minister_n shall_v at_o any_o time_n refuse_v to_o admit_v such_o for_o disciple_n who_o he_o will_v have_v admit_v and_o shall_v therefore_o refuse_v to_o do_v the_o outward_a solemn_a part_n of_o admission_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v yet_o this_o will_v be_v no_o reason_n with_o he_o that_o he_o shall_v refuse_v to_o do_v that_o inward_a part_n which_o he_o do_v himself_o perform_v and_o according_o he_o take_v up_o those_o very_a child_n in_o his_o arm_n and_o bless_a they_o viz._n with_o spiritual_a blessing_n and_o may_v therefore_o in_o some_o sense_n be_v say_v to_o have_v baptise_a they_o i_o mean_v to_o have_v baptise_a they_o with_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v the_o inward_a part_n of_o baptism_n and_o the_o only_a part_n that_o christ_n ever_o do_v or_o do_v but_o 2._o as_o our_o lord_n himself_o receive_v and_o command_v child_n to_o be_v receive_v into_o his_o church_n so_o likewise_o have_v he_o plain_o teach_v we_o that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v admit_v by_o baptism_n yea_o and_o that_o ordinary_o they_o can_v otherwise_o be_v admit_v for_o
