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. Whiston / by Edward Hutchinson.	Hutchinson, E. M. (Edward Moss)	1676 (1676)	Wing H3829; ESTC R40518	127,506	243

down from Heaven to the Infernal Seats whom though baptized in Infancy their life by its Holiness the World by its testimony and Divinity by Miracles have made famous they must be made the Collegues of Devils who were the Companions of Angels and they that through their pious Labours are arrived to Eternal life will suddenly be flung into everlasting death Our Holy dayes shall be turned to mourning our Sabbaths into shame and our Honour into nothing Who can bear these who can hear it who would not shut his ears and with all those they labour to damn would not rise against these Arch Hereticks But come unto me and repent of so great a Prodigie You scorn and deride that one should be Saved by the Faith of another denying it with great Mockery among the Rusticks and unlearned Multitude A brutish and impious Heresie Petrus Cluniacensis contra Paetro brusianos haeret p. 1124. Edit Paris 1614. As to those late Authors he sayes whose testimonies deserve no credit as to the first Ages viz. Willifrid Strabo Boemus Lud. Vives I conceive however they are to be believed as soon as Mr. Whiston And he that leans so much upon Origen and Cyprian though those Books Father'd upon them are judged spurious to prove matter of Fact in the First Age though they lived in the Third Century should clear himself before he falls foul upon others And Lastly Since he declines all Humane Authority as of no weight so do we and proceed to examine the Scripture grounds which we desire only to adhere to and own it to be our Principle to receive no Article of Faith however entertain'd or cry'd up by Nations Fathers c. that is not made Authentick by the Written Word of God And whether Mr. Danvers the Exceptions here made being so few and of so little weight deserves so severe a Castigation as this Author is pleased to give him let the World judge And therefore we go on to try the opposition he makes as to the Doctrinal part And first we affirm That Believers Baptism is only Christs Baptism which Mr. Danvers proved by the order laid down in the Commission Matth. 28.19 to which Mr. Whiston makes this demur That this Commission doth not exclude Infants from Baptism supposing their Baptism elsewhere in Scripture warranted That this is a very sorry Evasion will appear if you consider that this is the solemn Institution and Commission given to the Apostles impowring them to Preach the Gospel and Baptize and to charge it with darkness and imperfection as Mr. Whiston doth is to reflect upon the Law giver and for us to observe any Order but what is here laid down is to go beyond our Commission and be wise above what is written Which is not only our Opinion but the great Basil's own words upon the place 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 c. i e. But we think it necessary to have recourse to the order prescribed by the Lord viz. first to Teach then Baptize page 636. de Baptismo 2. It has been else where sufficiently proved that Infants because Unbelievers till Converted Eph. 2.3 and so uncapable of the qualification pre-required here are excluded 3. If it should be urged that Infants have Faith as several Learned Paedo-baptists affirm though not so fortunate as to agree what kind of Faith some being for a Seminal some a Federal some an Imputative Faith c. verifying the Proverb Tot capita tot sensus then we may conclude that there 's no such thing as Regeneration for if we be Believers from the Womb where is there any room for the New Birth and if that be once admitted the whole scope and frame of the Gospel is subverted for it would be an absurd Errand to call such to Believe who are Believers by a Birth-priviledg and in a state of Regeneration as soon as Born But common Experience confutes this Childish fancy And for that distinction some of them make of Faith in actu primo or Potential Faith not yet grown up to actual were it admitted for which there is no Reason the Maxim being just and safe Vbi lex non distinguit non est distinguendum Where the Law distinguishes not we must not distinguish yet it would not serve the turn since Unbelievers Children may be as truly said to have Faith in Actu primo or potentially as Believers Children they proving frequently Converts and precious Saints whilst Believers Children often run the broad way of Wickedness Besides if Children had such a Faith and that the distinction were as it is not good it would not be enough because no Faith but an actual personal Faith qualifies for Baptism But he sayes Supposing their Baptism else-where warranted in Scripture But why is not that Scripture produced 't is much talk'd of but we can never see it which makes us conclude that men that are so nimble to press Scriptures into their service that not a whit be friend their Cause if they could hit upon any such plain Text would be brisk enough to bring it forth But alas if they had their Warrant from Scripture they would not take such pains to prove that the silence of the Scripture is such an Argument to evince the lawfulness of their practice a very mad and wild way of reasoning nor run to the beginning of the World to find some protection for it among the Jewish Rites Gospel Ordinances must be evidenced by Gospel Authority What institution of the New Testament but is plainly to be proved by New-Testament Scripture Must Baptism alone though so plainly yea in words at length both as to subject and form of Administration there instituted be beholden to Circumcision Gen. 17.7 for its Original though as different and remote from it as the Gospel is from the Law If so Why are not the Baptized Infants now admitted to the priviledges the Circumcised were of old viz. to be Members of the Church now as they were then of the Common-wealth to come to the Supper as they to the Passeover c. this Riddle we desire may be unfolded But he goes on in the same Tune and tells us that as here is no express mention of Infants that 's well granted so no word phrase or clause that can be rationally interpreted to exclude them No more is there any word phrase or clause excluding Vnbelievers Children nay which is more not so much as a word phrase or clause that litterally excludes Bells Church walls Standards c. from Baptism and if there be ground enough for this Author to Baptize them let him take the Honor of the Employment He sayes Christ may have given this Commission only with reference to the Adult that we believe and contend for and 't is now happily granted us and may have sufficiently declared his will concerning the Baptism of Infants in other parts of his Word that 's the thing he should prove and that other part of his Word if he knows it he
