A77753	A iustification of two points now in controversie with the Anabaptists concerning baptisme: the first is, that infants of Christians ought to be baptized, with grounds to prove it, and their objections answered. With a briefe answer to Master Tombes twelve doubtfull arguments against it in his exercitation about infants baptisme. Also a briefe answer to Captaine Hobsons five arguments in his falacy of infants baptisme, being (as he saith) that which should have beene disputed by him, and Mr. Knowles, and some others; against Mr. Calamy and Mr. Cranford. The second point is, that the sprinckling the baptized more agreeth with the minde of Christ then dipping or plunging in or under the water: with grounds to prove it, and a briefe auswer [sic] to what they have to say against it. / By T.B.	Bakewell, Thomas, b. 1618 or 19.	1646 (1646)	Wing B534; Thomason E316_23; ESTC R5282	32,062	32

ought_v to_o be_v baptise_a the_o ground_n to_o prove_v it_o be_v these_o follow_v first_o if_o christ_n command_v and_o his_o apostle_n practise_v the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n than_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v do_v but_o christ_n command_v to_o baptise_v all_o nation_n whereof_o infant_n be_v a_o part_n mat._n 28.19_o and_o the_o apostle_n baptise_a whole_a household_n whereof_o infant_n be_v a_o part_n act_v 16.15.33_o 1_o cor._n 1.16_o therefore_o infant_n of_o christian_n ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v second_o if_o christian_a infant_n have_v the_o promise_n to_o be_v baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n than_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v the_o outward_a form_n of_o baptism_n but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v promise_v to_o christian_n and_o their_o child_n act_n 2.38_o 39_o therefore_o their_o child_n ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v three_o if_o infant_n of_o christian_n be_v separate_v from_o turk_n and_o infidel_n by_o virtue_n of_o their_o parent_n baptism_n than_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v baptise_a but_o infant_n of_o christian_n have_v this_o mark_n of_o distinction_n for_o now_o say_v paul_n your_o child_n be_v holy_a 1_o cor._n 7.14_o that_o be_v they_o have_v a_o

painful_a duty_n to_o a_o easy_a duty_n than_o i_o say_v that_o christian_a infant_n ought_v to_o be_v baptise_a as_o well_o as_o the_o jewish_a infant_n be_v circumcise_v but_o christ_n never_o

they_o be_v not_o convert_v from_o the_o state_n of_o corruption_n to_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n but_o the_o apostle_n only_o require_v man_n to_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o

of_o iniquity_n act_v 8.12.23.37_o and_o many_o believe_v the_o scripture_n and_o the_o word_n of_o jesus_n many_o believe_v in_o his_o name_n yet_o christ_n will_v not_o trust_v they_o although_o they_o be_v his_o disciple_n for_o he_o know_v their_o heart_n and_o need_v not_o that_o any_o shall_v testify_v of_o they_o yet_o those_o go_v away_o from_o christ_n and_o never_o return_v to_o he_o joh._n 2.23_o 24.6.66_o this_o show_v they_o have_v only_o the_o first_o conversion_n and_o not_o the_o second_o and_o jewish_a infant_n be_v circumcise_v if_o the_o parent_n be_v but_o of_o their_o

the_o christian_a religion_n as_o they_o have_v to_o bring_v they_o up_o in_o the_o jewish_a religion_n than_o it_o be_v a_o clear_a truth_n that_o christian_a infant_n ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v their_o objection_n be_v next_o to_o be_v answer_v first_o they_o object_n if_o they_o must_v first_o be_v teach_v before_o they_o be_v baptise_a than_o infant_n may_v not_o be_v baptize_v but_o the_o
