A86328	The foundation of the font discovered to the view of all that desire to behold it. And, the baptizing of men and women when they believe (in rivers and fountains) proved to be a standing ordinance in the Church of Cchrist to the end of the world; by plain Scripture-proof. In answer to Mr. Cook's Font uncovered, for infant-baptism; and Mr. Baxter's Plain Scripture-proof for infants church-membership and baptism. With a word sometimes upon occasion to Mr. Hall's Font-guarded; which is more fully answered by Thomas Collyer. By Henry Haggar, a servant of Christ, and the congregations of his saints.

etc._n etc._n but_o this_o be_v the_o covenant_n that_o i_o will_v make_v with_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n after_o those_o day_n say_v the_o lord_n i_o will_v put_v my_o law_n in_o their_o mind_n

that_o child_n that_o can_v speak_v nor_o understand_v can_v be_v in_o it_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o follow_a reason_n 1._o because_o they_o that_o be_v in_o this_o covenant_n have_v the_o law_n of_o god_n put_v in_o their_o mind_n and_o write_v in_o their_o heart_n but_o little_a babe_n that_o can_v speak_v nor_o understand_v have_v not_o the_o law_n of_o god_n in_o their_o mind_n nor_o write_v in_o their_o heart_n therefore_o they_o be_v not_o in_o this_o covenant_n now_o that_o such_o little_a child_n be_v not_o in_o a_o capacity_n to_o know_v the_o mind_n and_o law_n of_o god_n be_v most_o plain_a isa_n 7.14_o 15_o 16._o behold_v a_o virgin_n shall_v conceive_v and_o bear_v a_o son_n and_o shall_v call_v his_o name_n immanuel_n butter_n and_o honey_n shall_v he_o eat_v that_o

that_o thou_o abherrest_n shall_v be_v for_o saken_a of_o both_o her_o king_n thus_o its_o evident_a that_o even_o the_o lord_n christ_n as_o he_o come_v in_o the_o flesh_n of_o the_o seed_n of_o

ver_fw-la 52._o from_o all_o which_o i_o conclude_v that_o if_o it_o be_v thus_o with_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n as_o he_o be_v man_n much_o less_o do_v other_o

some_o for_o want_n of_o wisdom_n will_v object_v that_o upon_o this_o account_n christ_n will_v be_v exclude_v the_o covenant_n in_o his_o infancy_n answ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v such_o people_n know_v not_o what_o they_o say_v for_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v he_o for_o a_o covenant_n of_o the_o people_n and_o for_o a_o light_n of_o the_o gentile_n isa_n 42_o 6._o chap._n 49_o 8._o and_o

of_o life_n and_o peace_n for_o he_o be_v the_o substance_n and_o life_n of_o the_o covenant_n therefore_o vain_a and_o foolish_a it_o will_v be_v for_o any_o man_n to_o make_v such_o a_o objection_n again_o those_o that_o be_v in_o the_o new_a covenant_n shall_v know_v the_o lord_n from_o the_o great_a to_o the_o least_o heb._n 8.11_o but_o little_a babe_n bear_v of_o the_o flesh_n of_o a_o week_n or_o a_o month_n old_a can_v know_v the_o lord_n for_o they_o know_v not_o their_o own_o parent_n nor_o their_o right_a hand_n from_o their_o left_a jonah_n 4.11_o therefore_o the_o lord_n say_v plain_o that_o child_n be_v innocent_a yea_o the_o child_n of_o those_o which_o worship_n and_o do_v sacrifice_n to_o the_o devil_n psal_n 106.37.38_o in_o these_o word_n they_o sacrifice_v

therefore_o little_a babe_n though_o innocent_a be_v not_o nor_o can_v be_v in_o covenant_n for_o that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o flesh_n be_v flesh_n but_o the_o new_a covenant_n be_v a_o spiritual_a

i_o plain_o prove_v that_o little_a babe_n that_o can_v speak_v word_n nor_o understand_v reason_n can_v possible_o be_v in_o the_o new_a covenant_n obj._n but_o now_o follow_v that_o great_a and_o unanswerable_a objection_n as_o mr._n cook_n and_o mr._n baxter_n suppose_v which_o be_v this_o if_o child_n be_v not_o in_o covenant_n they_o can_v be_v save_v therefore_o say_v mr._n baxter_n in_o his_o 21_o and_o 22_o argument_n pag._n 71_o 72._o that_o doctrine_n that_o leave_v we_o no_o sound_n ground_v hope_n of_o the_o justification_n and_o salvation_n of_o any_o die_a infant_n in_o the_o world_n be_v certain_o false_a doctrine_n but_o that_o doctrine_n which_o deny_v any_o infant_n to_o be_v member_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n do_v leave_v we_o no_o sound_n ground_v hope_n of_o the_o justification_n and_o salvation_n of_o any_o infant_n in_o the_o world_n therefore_o it_o be_v certain_o false_a doctrine_n the_o same_o say_v mr._n cook_n in_o his_o 13._o argument_n pag._n 44._o that_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n be_v to_o be_v abhor_v as_o most_o contrary_a to_o the_o covenant_n of_o god_n which_o put_v the_o infant_n of_o christian_n into_o the_o same_o condition_n with_o the_o child_n of_o turk_n and_o infidel_n and_o leave_v they_o in_o the_o visible_a kingdom_n of_o the_o devil_n as_o no_o visible_a member_n of_o the_o church_n etc._n etc._n but_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o anabaptist_n be_v such_o therefore_o to_o be_v abhor_v to_o all_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o deny_v that_o any_o child_n be_v save_v by_o virtue_n of_o visible_a churth-membership_a or_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n as_o believer_n be_v and_o let_v mr._n baxter_n mr._n cook_n or_o any_o for_o they_o prove_v it_o by_o the_o scripture_n if_o they_o can_v second_o i_o answer_v there_o be_v no_o difference_n between_o the_o child_n of_o believer_n and_o unbeliever_n in_o their_o nonage_n for_o the_o child_n of_o believer_n be_v but_o innocent_a when_o we_o make_v the_o best_a of_o they_o and_o the_o child_n of_o unbeliever_n also_o be_v innocent_a psal_n 106.37_o 38._o yea_o though_o their_o parent_n be_v such_o as_o worship_n and_o do_v sacrifice_n to_o the_o devil_n yet_o the_o lord_n have_v pronounce_v they_o innocent_a ver_fw-la 38._o saying_n they_o shed_v innocent_a blood_n even_n the_o blood_n of_o their_o son_n and_o daughter_n who_o they_o sacrifice_v unto_o the_o idol_n of_o canaan_n thus_o it_o be_v plain_o prove_v by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o the_o child_n of_o the_o murderer_n and_o idolater_n that_o worship_v and_o sacrifice_v to_o the_o devil_n as_o ver_fw-la 37._o be_v innocent_a and_o those_o that_o be_v innocent_a god_n will_v not_o destroy_v see_v ex_v 23.7_o with_o job_n 22.30_o and_o prov._n 6.16_o 17._o again_o there_o can_v be_v no_o difference_n between_o the_o child_n of_o believer_n and_o unbeliever_n because_o no_o such_o child_n have_v actual_a sin_n and_o the_o best_a of_o child_n of_o man_n have_v that_o which_o be_v call_v original_a sin_n viz._n the_o sin_n that_o come_v by_o adam_n transgression_n for_o which_o they_o must_v all_o die_v and_o return_v to_o their_o dust_n even_o the_o best_a of_o saint_n as_o well_o as_o the_o worst_a of_o sinner_n for_o it_o be_v appoint_v for_o all_o once_o to_o die_v and_o after_o that_o come_v judgement_n but_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o say_v that_o any_o shall_v be_v judge_v according_a to_o their_o original_a sin_n or_o condemn_v for_o adam_n transgression_n but_o it_o say_v they_o shall_v be_v judge_v according_a to_o their_o work_n rev._n 20.13_o and_o that_o every_o one_o shall_v receive_v according_a to_o that_o he_o have_v do_v in_o his_o body_n whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o bad_a 1_o cor._n 5.10_o therefore_o no_o ground_n to_o fear_v the_o salvation_n of_o child_n die_v in_o their_o nonage_n for_o although_o they_o must_v die_v for_o adam_n sin_n yet_o christ_n be_v become_v their_o

that_o can_v neither_o speak_v nor_o understand_v can_v can_v have_v the_o same_o care_n that_o church_n member_n ought_v to_o have_v over_o one_o another_o for_o they_o have_v no_o care_n at_o all_o therefore_o no_o visible_a member_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n if_o they_o be_v than_o they_o be_v to_o be_v deal_v with_o and_o reprove_v for_o not_o have_v that_o christian_a care_n as_o aforesaid_a argument_n viii_o my_o eight_o argument_n from_o eph._n 2.23_o where_o paul_n speak_v to_o the_o church_n of_o ephesus_n say_v that_o they_o all_o have_v their_o

but_o little_a infant_n that_o can_v neither_o speak_v nor_o understand_v be_v a_o month_n or_o a_o year_n old_a can_v not_o have_v their_o conversation_n in_o time_n pass_v after_o such_o a_o manner_n for_o they_o know_v not_o what_o belong_v to_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n nor_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o mind_n till_o they_o come_v to_o speak_v and_o understand_v the_o practice_n of_o other_o all_o that_o can_v be_v lay_v to_o their_o charge_n before_o be_v but_o original_a sin_n but_o the_o church_n ephesus_n have_v all_o their_o conversation_n thus_o in_o time_n past_a therefore_o no_o little_a infant_n be_v church-member_n among_o they_o argument_n ix_o my_o nine_o argument_n be_v from_o 1_o thess_n 5.2_o 4_o 5._o where_o the_o apostle_n say_v ver_fw-la 2._o that_o they_o all_o know_v perfect_o that_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n so_o come_v as_o a_o thief_n in_o the_o night_n that_o he_o speak_v of_o all_o be_v evident_a ver_fw-la 4_o 5._o in_o these_o word_n

worthy_a of_o god_n who_o have_v call_v you_o to_o his_o kingdom_n and_o glory_n etc._n etc._n whence_o i_o argue_v thus_o if_o paul_n do_v exhort_v and_o charge_v every_o one_o of_o the_o church_n to_o do_v these_o thing_n than_o indeed_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v there_o be_v no_o infant_n that_o can_v neither_o speak_v nor_o understand_v among_o they_o for_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o exhortation_n nor_o comfort_n nor_o any_o charge_n a_o man_n can_v give_v they_o but_o paul_n do_v exhort_v comfort_n and_o charge_v every_o one_o of_o the_o church_n ver_fw-la 11._o therefore_o
