A90658 A reply to a confutation of some grounds for infants baptisme: as also, concerning the form of a church, put forth against mee by one Thomas Lamb. Hereunto is added, a discourse of the verity and validity of infants baptisme, wherein I endeavour to clear it in it self: as also in the ministery administrating it, and the manner of administration, by sprinkling, and not dipping; with sundry other particulars handled herein. / By George Philips of Watertown in New England. Phillips, George, 1593-1644. 1645 (1645) Wing P2026; Thomason E287_4; ESTC R200088 141,673 168

the_o marriage_n may_v be_v lawful_a but_o not_o pure_a to_o the_o impure_a all_o thing_n be_v impure_a but_o not_o unlawful_a and_o their_o marriage_n be_v make_v when_o they_o be_v both_o

second_o the_o argument_n the_o apostle_n give_v will_v none_o of_o they_o prove_v that_o the_o question_n be_v of_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o the_o marriage_n for_o first_o he_o say_v the_o

clear_a in_o the_o text_n the_o argument_n prove_v it_o to_o be_v the_o question_n and_o full_o satisfi_v the_o scruple_n ¶_o 6_o his_o six_o answer_n therefore_o conclude_v the_o holiness_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v mean_v of_o legitimacy_n and_o uncleanness_n of_o bastardy_n be_v evacuate_v for_o what_o force_n be_v in_o this_o holiness_n to_o prove_v the_o thing_n it_o be_v bring_v for_o by_o the_o apostle_n for_o to_o invert_v his_o argument_n this_o he_o grant_v such_o a_o holiness_n must_v be_v here_o mean_v as_o must_v prove_v a_o unbelieved_a parent_n to_o be_v sanctify_v to_o the_o believe_a yokefellow_n but_o this_o holiness_n of_o legitimacy_n can_v prove_v the_o unbelieved_a parent_n to_o be_v sanctify_v to_o the_o believe_a yokefellow_n therefore_o legitimacy_n can_v be_v mean_v for_o two_o unbeliever_n may_v be_v in_o a_o lawful_a marriage_n estate_n and_o have_v child_n legitimate_a and_o not_o bastard_n yet_o for_o all_o this_o they_o be_v not_o sanctify_v each_o to_o other_o all_o thing_n be_v impure_a to_o the_o impure_a whereas_o he_o say_v it_o must_v be_v such_o a_o holiness_n as_o be_v derive_v from_o all_o parent_n lawful_o marry_v which_o legitimacy_n be_v but_o the_o other_o holiness_n stand_v for_o be_v not_o reply_n i_o deny_v it_o but_o it_o must_v be_v such_o a_o holiness_n as_o be_v derive_v only_o from_o parent_n whereof_o one_o at_o least_o be_v a_o believer_n now_o legitimacie_n be_v not_o such_o a_o holiness_n as_o be_v derive_v only_o from_o parent_n whereof_o one_o at_o least_o be_v a_o believer_n but_o the_o other_o be_v such_o a_o holiness_n but_o say_v he_o it_o must_v be_v mean_v of_o such_o a_o holiness_n as_o be_v derive_v from_o all_o parent_n lawful_o marry_v because_o the_o argument_n stand_v in_o the_o child_n which_o be_v bear_v before_o one_o of_o the_o parent_n come_v to_o the_o faith_n which_o therefore_o can_v receive_v from_o they_o unbelieved_a no_o other_o holiness_n but_o legitimacie_n in_o the_o course_n of_o generation_n reply_n this_o holiness_n here_o come_v not_o by_o generation_n though_o concur_v with_o it_o but_o flow_v from_o the_o parent_n state_n of_o be_v in_o grace_n second_o the_o argument_n stand_v not_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o child_n bear_v before_o one_o be_v a_o believer_n but_o of_o those_o after_o as_o be_v clear_a from_o the_o text_n for_o a_o believe_a person_n sanctifi_v the_o unbelieving_a party_n else_o the_o child_n not_o bear_v before_o either_o believe_v but_o bear_v of_o a_o believer_n and_o a_o infidel_n be_v unclean_a but_o now_o they_o be_v holy_a bear_v of_o a_o believe_a and_o infidel_n parent_n and_o therefore_o legitimacie_n can_v be_v mean_v here_o by_o holiness_n because_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o make_v a_o child_n legitimate_a that_o one_o of_o the_o parent_n be_v a_o believer_n it_o must_v be_v such_o a_o holiness_n of_o child_n as_o be_v proper_a to_o child_n of_o believer_n at_o least_o one_o of_o they_o and_o this_o may_v also_o answer_v what_o he_o further_o add_v that_o take_v holiness_n for_o legitimacie_n there_o can_v be_v no_o objection_n make_v why_o legitimacie_n shall_v not_o prove_v the_o unbelieving_a yoke-fellow_n to_o be_v sanctify_v to_o the_o believe_a parent_n to_o which_o i_o add_v this_o further_a that_o legitimacie_n will_v not_o prove_v that_o because_o legitimacie_n may_v be_v and_o be_v in_o the_o child_n of_o both_o parent_n unbelieving_a and_o lawful_o marry_v and_o yet_o it_o will_v not_o prove_v that_o they_o be_v sanctify_v one_o to_o another_o there_o be_v as_o much_o legitimacie_n in_o infidel_n child_n as_o in_o believer_n unless_o he_o will_v conclude_v that_o such_o marriage_n of_o infidel_n be_v lawful_a and_o all_o their_o child_n bastard_n legitimacie_n can_v be_v understand_v therefore_o here_o by_o holiness_n but_o foederall_a holiness_n as_o shall_v be_v further_o clear_v afterward_o and_o thus_o his_o refutation_n of_o my_o three_o argument_n be_v clear_v to_o be_v of_o no_o validity_n i_o hope_v full_o my_o four_o argument_n he_o thus_o set_v down_o if_o baptism_n succeed_v circumcision_n then_o as_o infant_n be_v circumcise_v so_o infant_n must_v be_v baptize_v but_o baptism_n succeed_v circumcision_n ergo_fw-la as_o infant_n be_v circumcise_v so_o infant_n must_v be_v baptize_v to_o this_o he_o give_v four_o answer_n deny_v the_o consequence_n that_o be_v that_o though_o baptism_n succeed_v circumcision_n in_o a_o sense_n that_o therefore_o the_o same_o subject_n be_v to_o be_v baptize_v now_o that_o be_v to_o be_v circumcise_v then_o in_o his_o first_o answer_n he_o give_v divers_a instance_n to_o show_v the_o weakness_n of_o the_o consequence_n in_o this_o by_o the_o inconsequence_n in_o they_o as_o the_o gospel_n succeed_v the_o law_n the_o son_n of_o aaron_n be_v minister_n of_o the_o law_n ergo_fw-la they_o be_v to_o be_v minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n baptism_n succeed_v circumcision_n grow_v male_n though_o they_o have_v no_o faith_n be_v circumcise_v ergo_fw-la male_n now_o have_v no_o faith_n must_v be_v baptize_v female_n be_v not_o circumcise_v ergo_fw-la female_n must_v not_o be_v baptize_v the_o lord_n supper_n succeed_v the_o passeover_n their_o little_a child_n eat_v it_o with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o family_n in_o one_o house_n ergo_fw-la infant_n may_v now_o eat_v the_o lord_n supper_n now_o with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o family_n in_o one_o house_n and_o he_o ask_v if_o this_o be_v good_a reason_n and_o conclude_v that_o no_o objection_n can_v lie_v against_o these_o but_o will_v lie_v against_o i_o also_o reply_n first_o he_o say_v baptism_n succeed_v circumcision_n in_o a_o sense_n but_o set_v not_o down_o what_o sense_n it_o be_v that_o he_o mean_v which_o have_v be_v necessary_a for_o
follow_v which_o he_o set_v forth_o to_o be_v between_o those_o two_o state_n agree_v to_o also_o they_o be_v not_o substantial_a but_o accidental_a difference_n yet_o so_o as_o they_o be_v not_o to_o

as_o be_v suitable_a though_o many_o prove_v otherwise_o so_o none_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v admit_v nor_o be_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o same_o gospel_n preach_v unto_o they_o and_o the_o new_a testament_n shadow_v under_o the_o old_a to_o enjoy_v the_o privilege_n of_o the_o old_a shadow_v the_o privilege_n of_o the_o new_a but_o such_o as_o be_v suitable_a even_o such_o as_o be_v

they_o we_o be_v to_o believe_v in_o christ_n already_o come_v to_o who_o the_o ordinance_n do_v direct_v we_o and_o therefore_o what_o he_o further_o repeat_v have_v say_v the_o same_o all_o before_o that_o whosoever_o circumcise_a themselves_o and_o their_o male_n and_o observe_v the_o rite_n of_o the_o law_n they_o and_o their_o child_n though_o proselyte_n be_v the_o seed_n &_o fleshly_a seed_n too_o for_o so_o he_o say_v all_o this_o time_n and_o in_o that_o covenant_n and_o of_o that_o church_n but_o now_o only_a such_o as_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o be_v thereby_o regenerate_v be_v

this_o latter_a clear_o prove_v as_o he_o say_v i_o shall_v be_v willing_a to_o follow_v he_o and_o he_o say_v first_o believer_n regenerate_v only_o be_v in_o this_o covenant_n and_o of_o this_o

of_o a_o believer_n but_o must_v believe_v themselves_o otherwise_o they_o can_v be_v partaker_n in_o the_o covenant_n make_v with_o abraham_n reply_n first_o there_o need_v no_o such_o relation_n

this_o comparison_n suit_v not_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n succeed_v one_o another_o not_o as_o circumcision_n and_o baptism_n nor_o will_v it_o follow_v because_o baptism_n succeed_v circumcision_n therefore_o infant_n be_v to_o be_v baptize_v as_o they_o be_v circumcise_v so_o the_o gospel_n succeed_v the_o law_n ergo_fw-la aaron_n son_n be_v to_o succeed_v themselves_o under_o the_o gospel_n for_o i_o do_v not_o say_v cirumcision_n succeed_v circumcision_n but_o thus_o it_o will_v follow_v as_o then_o there_o be_v sacrifice_n and_o service_n and_o none_o but_o aaron_n son_n

to_o grow_v male_n that_o have_v no_o faith_n be_v false_a as_o i_o have_v show_v before_o more_o than_o once_o nor_o be_v female_n exclude_v then_o from_o circumcision_n no_o more_o than_o they_o be_v exclude_v from_o the_o covenant_n but_o shall_v have_v be_v circumcise_v if_o they_o have_v be_v capable_a as_o the_o male_n that_o female_n have_v the_o inward_a circumcision_n can_v be_v deny_v and_o whether_o they_o have_v not_o something_o analogical_a to_o the_o outward_a may_v be_v question_v although_o it_o be_v not_o express_v last_o of_o all_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o lord_n

and_o none_o but_o such_o as_o be_v able_a to_o understand_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o ordinance_n may_v partake_v of_o it_o as_o now_o none_o but_o such_o inay_n partake_v in_o the_o lord_n supper_n

against_o the_o consequence_n of_o my_o proposition_n a_o second_o answer_n he_o give_v be_v this_o the_o body_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v subject_n of_o circumcision_n according_a to_o the_o law_n even_o when_o christ_n die_v yet_o the_o same_o be_v not_o subject_n of_o baptism_n according_a to_o the_o gospel_n till_o they_o glad_o receive_v the_o word_n act_v 2.4_o reply_n first_o they_o be_v not_o circumcise_v before_o but_o as_o they_o glad_o receive_v the_o word_n and_o thereupon_o circumcise_v and_o their_o infant_n with_o they_o by_o virtue_n of_o god_n promise_n second_o it_o be_v true_a no_o jew_n of_o year_n be_v baptize_v till_o they_o receive_v the_o word_n but_o that_o be_v not_o because_o any_o may_v be_v circumcise_v before_o without_o receive_v the_o word_n but_o because_o of_o the_o change_n of_o the_o manner_n of_o adminstration_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o word_n in_o a_o different_a manner_n as_o the_o parent_n receive_v the_o word_n under_o that_o dispensation_n they_o be_v circumcise_v and_o their_o infant_n with_o they_o so_o now_o parent_n receive_v the_o word_n be_v to_o be_v baptize_v and_o their_o infant_n with_o they_o his_o three_o answer_n be_v this_o as_o baptism_n succeed_v circumcision_n so_o the_o command_n and_o subject_n of_o baptism_n succeed_v the_o subject_n and_o command_v of_o circumcision_n the_o command_n of_o circumcision_n be_v of_o male_n only_o and_o that_o on_o the_o eight_o day_n the_o proseylte_n must_v circumcise_v all_o his_o male_n although_o they_o have_v no_o faith_n the_o female_n must_v not_o be_v circumcise_v although_o they_o have_v never_o so_o much_o faith_n but_o the_o commandment_n of_o baptism_n be_v only_o of_o disciple_n man_n and_o woman_n a_o description_n of_o who_o you_o may_v see_v luke_n 14.26.27.33_o therefore_o the_o consequence_n follow_v not_o reply_n first_o it_o be_v the_o command_n of_o god_n that_o sanctifi_v circumcision_n and_o baptism_n in_o their_o several_a time_n to_o be_v administer_v second_o god_n command_n must_v sanctify_v the_o subject_n to_o who_o they_o be_v to_o be_v administer_v and_o therefore_o to_o circumcise_v any_o then_o or_o baptize_v any_o now_o but_o such_o as_o god_n command_v be_v a_o sinful_a error_n three_o it_o be_v not_o the_o command_n of_o circumcise_n why_o we_o baptize_v any_o but_o a_o command_n of_o baptise_v they_o why_o they_o be_v baptize_v and_o therefore_o the_o commandment_n of_o baptise_v being_n not_o to_o baptize_v at_o any_o set_a time_n we_o do_v not_o baptize_v any_o on_o the_o eight_o day_n as_o they_o circumcise_a we_o likewise_o baptize_v female_n the_o command_n include_v they_o though_o they_o be_v not_o circumcise_v be_v not_o capable_a of_o it_o as_o i_o say_v four_o then_o the_o case_n be_v this_o whether_o god_n command_v be_v to_o baptize_v infant_n now_o as_o it_o be_v to_o circcumise_v infant_n then_o this_o he_o deny_v upon_o this_o ground_n circumcision_n be_v not_o administer_v unto_o they_o as_o disciple_n but_o disciple_n only_o be_v now_o to_o be_v baptize_v and_o a_o disciple_n be_v he_o that_o deny_v himself_o father_n etc._n etc._n take_v up_o his_o

reply_n first_o that_o proselyte_n and_o their_o male_n be_v cirumcised_a though_o neither_o he_o nor_o they_o believe_v have_v be_v often_o say_v but_o never_o prove_v nor_o ever_o can_v be_v and_o
