A47605	The rector rectified and corrected, or, Infant-baptism unlawful being a sober answer to a late pamphlet entituled An argumentative and practical discourse of infant-baptism, published by Mr. William Burkit, rector of Mildin in Suffolk : wherein all his arguments for pedo-baptism are refuted and the necessity of immersion, i.e. dipping, is evidenced, and the people falsly called Anabaptists are cleared from those unjust reproaches and calumnies cast upon them : together with a reply to the Athenian gazette added to their 5th volume about infant-baptism : with some remarks upon Mr. John Flavel's last book in answer to Mr. Philip Cary / by Benjamin Keach.	Keach, Benjamin, 1640-1704.	1692 (1692)	Wing K84; ESTC R27451	144,738	231

weak_a a_o allusion_n or_o similitude_n as_o ever_o be_v bring_v to_o illustrate_v a_o matter_n for_o first_o it_o suppose_v that_o christ_n give_v a_o very_a obscure_a dark_a and_o doubtful_a

because_o some_o infant_n may_v belong_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n they_o be_v member_n therefore_o of_o the_o visible_a church_n and_o so_o lamb_n of_o christ_n fold_n on_o earth_n and_o this_o bring_v i_o to_o your_o next_o which_o be_v your_o four_o argument_n viz._n if_o infant_n be_v capable_a of_o christ_n blessing_n on_o earth_n and_o of_o his_o presence_n in_o heaven_n if_o they_o be_v subject_n of_o his_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n and_o heir_n of_o his_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n then_o they_o have_v a_o undoubted_a right_n to_o the_o privilege_n of_o subject_n among_o which_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n be_v not_o the_o least_o answ_n 1._o we_o answer_v and_o argue_v thus_o to_o the_o first_o part_n of_o your_o proposition_n viz._n if_o many_o of_o the_o jew_n and_o other_o who_o be_v ungodly_a person_n be_v capable_a of_o christ_n blessing_n i._n e._n of_o be_v heal_v of_o their_o bodily_a disease_n they_o be_v subject_n of_o baptism_n be_v this_o sound_n argue_v what_o further_a blessing_n christ_n do_v vouchsafe_v to_o infant_n when_o he_o lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o they_o we_o know_v not_o for_o that_o be_v the_o way_n christ_n take_v ofttimes_o in_o the_o heal_a the_o sick_a and_o so_o he_o bless_v many_o person_n that_o never_o be_v baptize_v as_o we_o read_v of_o 2._o we_o as_o i_o just_a now_o tell_v you_o do_v deny_v infant_n be_v subject_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n therefore_o if_o by_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n you_o intend_v not_o that_o you_o beat_v the_o air_n you_o beg_v and_o prove_v not_o beside_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v i_o say_v again_o though_o infant_n may_v be_v heir_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n therefore_o they_o have_v a_o undoubted_a right_n to_o the_o privilege_n of_o the_o subject_n of_o god_n church_n for_o than_o it_o will_v follow_v they_o have_v right_a to_o one_o privilege_n as_o well_o as_o another_o and_o be_v to_o have_v fellowship_n with_o the_o saint_n and_o household_n of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o baptism_n but_o say_v you_o or_o take_v the_o argument_n thus_o viz._n those_o who_o christ_n invite_v to_o he_o and_o be_v receive_v by_o he_o his_o minister_n may_v not_o refuse_v nor_o put_v from_o they_o but_o infant_n be_v by_o christ_n invite_v to_o he_o and_o be_v receive_v by_o he_o therefore_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n may_v not_o ought_v not_o dare_v not_o refuse_v they_o into_o communion_n with_o they_o p._n 21._o answ_n christ_n invite_a multitude_n to_o come_v unto_o he_o and_o he_o receive_v they_o so_o far_o as_o to_o feed_v they_o with_o barley-loave_n and_o fish_n and_o to_o the_o blessing_n of_o heal_v they_o of_o their_o bodily_a distemper_n may_v his_o minister_n therefore_o receive_v all_o such_o into_o their_o communion_n 2._o in_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n when_o he_o be_v on_o earth_n there_o be_v many_o who_o be_v say_v to_o come_v unto_o he_o who_o he_o may_v receive_v into_o his_o presence_n and_o company_n yet_o his_o minister_n may_v not_o baptize_v they_o nor_o receive_v they_o into_o their_o spiritual_a communion_n 35._o nor_o indeed_o so_o you_o dare_v not_o receive_v infant_n i_o mean_v into_o your_o communion_n of_o the_o eucharist_n etc._n etc._n we_o read_v of_o some_o pharisee_n and_o lawyer_n that_o come_v to_o christ_n and_o he_o receive_v they_o into_o his_o company_n who_o it_o appear_v come_v to_o tempt_v he_o also_o the_o sadducee_n be_v say_v to_o come_v unto_o he_o who_o say_v there_o be_v no_o resurrection_n may_v christ_n minister_n baptize_v such_o and_o receive_v they_o into_o their_o communion_n therefore_o in_o opposition_n to_o what_o you_o say_v in_o pag._n 21._o of_o your_o book_n i_o affirm_v there_o be_v then_o other_o ordinary_a way_n of_o come_v to_o christ_n than_o by_o admission_n into_o his_o church_n christ_n invite_v the_o worst_a of_o sinner_n to_o he_o who_o nevertheless_o do_v not_o receive_v he_o therefore_o there_o be_v some_o who_o must_v be_v exclude_v who_o jesus_n christ_n gracious_o invite_v your_o appeal_n for_o proof_n of_o this_o argument_n to_o st._n mark_n 10.13_o suffer_v little_a child_n to_o come_v unto_o i_o for_o

church_n you_o by_o baptism_n have_v no_o need_n i_o say_v to_o add_v they_o to_o it_o for_o if_o as_o they_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o believer_n they_o be_v already_o fidem_fw-la soederis_fw-la not_o
