A56583	The doctrine of baptism and the disinction of the covenants, or, A plain treatise wherein the four essentials of baptism .... are diligently handled as also the business of the two covenants, wherein is proved that the covenant of life is not made to the seed of believers as coming out of their loins, and therefore that the baptism of infants is drawn from thence by a false consequence / by Thomas Patient.	Patient, Thomas, d. 1666.	1654 (1654)	Wing P718; ESTC R26182	105,019	204

teacher_n persuade_v the_o gallatian_n to_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o life_n and_o that_o they_o can_v not_o be_v save_v without_o it_o which_o covenant_n the_o apostle_n paul_n call_v the_o flesh_n

of_o the_o temporal_a deliverance_n from_o egypt_n into_o canaan_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o moses_n as_o our_o baptism_n be_v a_o confirmation_n to_o the_o spiritual_a israel_n of_o their_o spiritual_a

be_v the_o general_a understanding_n of_o those_o that_o urge_v this_o text_n for_o a_o covenant_n in_o the_o flesh_n that_o if_o they_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o jew_n though_o they_o be_v not_o

belong_v to_o they_o and_o this_o interpretation_n that_o this_o text_n must_v have_v to_o defend_v a_o covenant_n in_o the_o flesh_n which_o i_o leave_v to_o any_o intelligent_a man_n to_o consider_v how_o great_o erroneous_a it_o be_v to_o affirm_v that_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n belong_v to_o the_o unbelieving_a and_o harden_a child_n of_o the_o jew_n that_o god_n have_v nor_o nor_o do_v call_v so_o that_o you_o may_v clear_o see_v that_o the_o truth_n lie_v in_o this_o text_n that_o the_o promise_n be_v to_o no_o more_o of_o father_n nor_o child_n nor_o those_o afar_o off_o but_o such_o as_o god_n by_o his_o especial_a grace_n do_v call_v to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o of_o god_n by_o faith_n 7.14_o a_o answer_n to_o that_o text_n 1_o cor._n 7.14_o another_o

that_o this_o holiness_n be_v as_o they_o call_v it_o a_o federal_a holiness_n of_o a_o covenant_n holiness_n that_o be_v to_o say_v god_n have_v take_v the_o believe_a parent_n with_o the_o child_n

in_o what_o sense_n god_n take_v person_n into_o covenant_n with_o himself_o and_o that_o as_o you_o have_v hear_v be_v two_o way_n either_o he_o take_v soul_n to_o himself_o in_o a_o typical_a

separation_n of_o they_o from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n to_o himself_o be_v a_o holiness_n that_o the_o carnal_a jew_n be_v only_o partaker_n of_o such_o a_o typical_a and_o legal_a holiness_n that_o people_n be_v separate_v from_o all_o other_o nation_n in_o the_o world_n to_o god_n in_o this_o covenant_n now_o the_o word_n holy_a signify_v so_o much_o as_o separate_n or_o set_v apart_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n the_o vessel_n of_o the_o temple_n be_v holy_a as_o also_o the_o priest_n be_v by_o law_n set_v apart_o from_o the_o rest_n of_o israel_n to_o offer_v the_o bread_n of_o their_o god_n now_o in_o the_o 2d._o place_n there_o be_v also_o a_o new_a covenant_n or_o a_o covenant_n of_o life_n that_o god_n take_v a_o people_n to_o himself_o which_o be_v to_o write_v his_o law_n in_o their_o heart_n &_o in_o their_o mind_n to_o sanctify_v they_o to_o justify_v they_o now_o this_o internal_a holiness_n which_o god_n as_o a_o effect_n of_o that_o covenant_n infuse_v into_o the_o heart_n be_v only_o this_o new_a covenant-holiness_n for_o there_o be_v no_o other_o holiness_n that_o relate_v to_o the_o new_a covenant_n when_o the_o heart_n and_o the_o inward_a man_n shall_v be_v purify_v through_o faith_n and_o when_o the_o whole_a heart_n and_o affection_n be_v by_o the_o powerful_a work_n of_o god_n grace_n separate_v from_o sin_n and_o those_o vanity_n below_o to_o heaven_n and_o heavenly_a thing_n this_o be_v the_o only_a holiness_n that_o the_o covenant_n of_o eternal_a life_n convey_v to_o soul_n the_o hypocrite_n may_v have_v this_o in_o appearance_n but_o the_o elect_a and_o choose_v have_v this_o only_a in_o truth_n he_o put_v no_o difference_n between_o we_o and_o they_o purify_n their_o heart_n by_o faith_n and_o he_o have_v by_o one_o

it_o can_v be_v because_o that_o be_v abolish_v through_o christ_n death_n as_o appear_v in_o heb._n 8.9_o chapter_n therefore_o far_o be_v it_o from_o the_o apostle_n to_o intend_v here_o the_o
