but to send a Bason from the Chariot to the Water where should Men have Basons in Chariots I am sorry Mr. Baxter in his Paraphrase hath prov'd so inconstant to himself after he had heated us against Plunging in his Infant Church-membership and Baptism and tells us A Man might stride over the River Enon and no Conveniency was there to plunge and that this way of Plunging is a breach of the 6th and 7th Commandment and he told Mr. Tombs he believ'd when he cool'd his Legs he warm'd his Heart sometimes when he plung'd the Maids in Bendly When Christ wash'd Peter's Feet he is said to wash him He in a fit of intemperate Zeal cries out as our Plungers do Lord not my Feet only but my Hands and my Head plunge Head and Ears all over Christ says there was no need to wash the whole If as Mr. Baxter says on Rom. 6.4 after others buried with him in Baptism was washing the Body all over for my part they have given up the Cause as to the Form of Baptism and were I of their Mind I must be of the Anabaptists practice as it should be about the Form tho not Subject For had the Apostle indeed given us only an Historical Account it would not have followed because they were plunged we must be so but if he according to these Pedobaptists unreasonable and untrue grant give us a symbolical Account I know not who dares alter or change the Form Plunging must be from Heaven and any other way of Washing or Baptizing from Men. I know some that cannot contradict this among my Brethren will be angry for my plainness but I cannot help it I am Jacob the plain Man more than Esau the cunning one Thus hath Mr. Pool the Dutch Annotations Diodati Mr. Perkins and Mr. Baxter at last so far betray'd the Cause to talk of our cold Climate is a cold Plea I deny that the Form of Baptism signifies any thing of Christ's Burial or Resurrection but only the washing away of Sin or sprinkling of the Blood of Christ my reason I have given in another Book and therefore shall not do it now The Church of England hath betrayed the Cause by their Fonts foolish Questions to the Sponsors as if the Child Wilt thou be Baptized in this Faith c. and saying in their Prayers Nothing doubting but that he favourably alloweth this charitable Work of ours in bringing these Infants to his holy Baptism observe favourably alloweth Yes he commands it a charitable Work of ours when it is of Divine Appointment and in the Catechism the Childish one That Repentance and Faith are requir'd in them who are to be so Baptiz'd Then ask why they baptize Infants the Answer is Because Infants promise them by their Sureties I know some of that Communion are sick of this Answer as well they may For Mr. Danvers and Mr. Tombs and others who with us justly scoff at this Answer say truly Prove the Vnlawfulness of God-fathers and God-mothers and they have given up the Cause If any say where is your Scripture-warrant Acts 2.39 Be baptized the Promise is to you and to your Children and to as many as are afar off as many as the Lord your God shall call Which is a Confirmation of the privilege they should have in the Christian Church into which he brought them which they had in the Jewish Church out of which he took them For the Promise or Covenant was unto them and to their Children and to as many of the Gentiles as should be Proselyted and Converted If they say the Promise was of extraordinary Gifts of the Holy Ghost I say that was not performed to them theirs and all God call'd This is a plainer Text then they have for taking Women to the Lord's Table and as plain as that Divine Institution which is enough for the Change of the Sabbath to the first day of the Week Psal 118.24 This is the Day the Lord hath made I pray the Anabaptist not to slite this Consideration Did God ever send such Rogues as John of Leyden St. Matthias and David George to be Reformers As they brought their Restitution from the Devil which was to be instead of the Bible Can you believe they brought your Plunging c. adult Persons only from God What unheard of madness was it in Mr. Danvers to question the Story of the besieging of Munster and the wicked pranks there play'd I would not care so much if the Anabaptist did only neglect baptizing their Infants but there is worse in the thing their leaving no visible way for their Children's Salvation if they die Infants they are sent to herd with the Children of Jews and Pagans and if God save them it is in an uncovenanted way and it may be that is not at all for without are Dogs and such as God judgeth Children are within or without the Church there is no middle They were within once who turn'd them out Yet I doubt not their Children any more than ours The omission of Circumcision in Moses was like to be the Father's Death but not the Child's Damnation I have been longer on this than I intended But the Portsmouth Harangue hath put me into a Heat I could say much of the Publisher of vain Stories if I saw fit Is he indeed such a learned Man and were they such mean Men as he falsly represents Verbum sat Sapienti I hope we shall soon see Mr. Chandler's true sober Account of the whole If any tell false Stories of other Mens blunders and hide their own true ones it is worse than bad The Anabaptists whom I call not so in Contempt but only for distinction If we call them Baptists we do amiss as if we were not for Baptism our selves I say they have torn the Covenant of Grace all in pieces to cast their Children out When Mr. Flavel told Mr. Cary Moses and the rest could not be saved by any Covenant but that of Grace he talk'd Apothecary as our Devonshire phrase is They were under A Covenant of Works tho not The Covenant of Works A and The were learned Distinctions here He is a good ingenious well temper'd Man I know him well but am sorry he was so ●ll imployed When shall I have done I could run out here in infinitum but I will soon stop my running Pen whether it will or no. Those that call them Hereticks do them wrong as well as that Pedobaptist that compar'd them to Witches who renounce their Baptism in compacting with the Devil Yet I must grant Infant-Baptism fell with the Bible by those reforming Devils before-mention'd who receiv'd the due Reward of their Murders Whoredoms Blasphemies and whom all sober pious Anabaptists detest Would all other Controversies in Religion were as easily decided as may Infant-Baptism be prov'd They tell us in some old Bibles they read John the Dipper they never read John the Plunger the difference is great as I have elsewhere prov'd To all

not I will beg pardon of God and the Crispians for wronging him but if I do prove it I c●… the Throat of Crispianism and undeceive some of his deluded Followers who cannot believe this Charge You take no notice of ●his damnable Heresy vindicate him here if you can You say Sir If a Man be justified before he believes then he is not justified by Faith Every School-boy will tell you hath been is the Preterperfectence Rare discoveries and such may tell you that hath is put for the Future shall be else Christ was Incarnate before Isaiah wrote But these and many other things I have consider'd in my Three contending Brethren Apology and New-Years-Gift and thither I refer you If Dr. Owen say you was not a Crispian I know not who was Say I if Dr. Owen was not an Anti-Crispian I know not who was and this will I make good if we meet as before You say p. 16. They censure the Doctor for condemning Graces and good Works in the Popish and meritorious sense and that this is the plain Grammar of all our Virulency against him All our Prayers Tears Meltings cannot make God lay our Iniquities on Christ A profound Assertion When Dr. Crisp said it Mr. Edwards replied who ever said they did You call him Doeg and p. 18. say that God will remember Amalek for standing in the way of God's Israel and that with an obliterating Remembrance False Prophets say you acted by a lying Spirit That the Man of Sin notwithstanding all his Wickedness is call'd his Holiness Christ is the Lord our Righteousnest All the Popes profest or practical Adherents We have Copies of the Council of Trent fleeing about our Ears in various Pamphlets against Dr. Crisp or rather his Doctrin which is the Scripture Doctrin of Justification No Man can believe you nor you your self Sir be sober and let not your arrows flee at random Are Calvinists Amalekites as well as Baxterians Doth the Pope's name make Holiness less lovely than an Arch-bishop's GRACE makes Free Grace so Arminianism and Socinianism say you p. 25. lies in our Author's treachery tho he owns a commutative imputation of Sin and Righteousness between Christ and Believers Will not the granting of this do You say p. 26. Most absconded Sir your cask smells of Socinianism c. I have spent some time to consider what makes you so waspish and in such fits of Raving Is it a turbulent brawling Creature at home If so I pity you Some at first give them their Authority and call for it too late It is storied of Semiramis she desired Ninus she might Reign in his stead nine days he granted his supplicant Wife this thing in which time she put him to death and took the Government on her self It is not safe to let a Woman reign nine Days nine Days did I say no not nine Hours Mrs. B. was too much Master at home and would do what she pleas'd Such Men must be pitied as well as blamed Now Sir whatever you and I differ in I heartily agree with you in the close of your Book of what Mr. Edwards says after his Censure of Dr. Crisp's Doctrine That he hopes he was a good Man This is say you a perfect Riddle It is a great one too to me Mr. Edwards Mr. Williams that have so said deserve I think your Reprimand Seeing you at last Rhime an Epitaph on Dr. Crisp I will think of it Yours begins Great Carbonado'd Crisp what 's now thy Crown And was thy Glory here is trampled down c. Frightful word Carbonado'd Where is he Is he broiling I should not like it if any had made such an Epitaph as one did on a notorious Knave If Heaven be pleas'd when Men do cease from Sin If Hell be pleas'd when it a Soul doth win If the World be pleas'd when it hath lost a Knave Then all are pleas'd is in his Grave Carbonado'd Crisp I cannot get the word out of my Mind such a word might provoke one of us to Rhyme as foolishly as you and so to deserve to be as severely reprov'd Suppose I should make this Epitaph Crisp did not fear to be whilst here Compunctions Enemy Where he 's now sent he must repent To all Eternity None in the least ever profest This Grace to have disgrac'd Satan alone and Crisp his Son In this are both barefac'd He that did say David did stray When Sin his burden was A burden be finds Sin to be And ever cries Alas Would you not say it were rashly done and that I had made him a Carbonado'd Man as well as you Come now and let us reason together I do acknowledg I look not on you as the worst sort of Crispians I know you would make Dr. Crisp to speak better than he intended and you pass by my Charge about Repentance Because some of my Friends are offended with a passage in my last Book That Dr. Crisp his Book was worse than the Racovian Catechism and say it was a word of Passion I say no I use no Hyperbole in it but will now prove it Next to the Notion of a God nothing is a greater Principle in natural Religion than Repentance even to bitterness for Contempt of this God affronting his Authority and offering violence to the Laws and Methods of Heaven and therefore Dr. Crisp in scoffing at such Repentance hath struck at one of the greatest Principles in natural Religion Now whether God may be merciful to some Socinians such as Mr. Fermin and others we are not all agreed but we are all agreed even those who assert the Salvation of Heathen by the light of Nature That none can be saved without Repentance and bitterness for Sin Neither can I see that I am bound to be burdened for the Sins of others for if they be Converted the great Sacrifice is offered up and Christ hath born the burden if they be not Converted they may be Elected for ought I know and be converted in time Why then if Rivers of Waters run down our Eyes because Men keep not God's Laws we Sin after David in this also If with Lot our Souls be grieved from Day to Day for the filthy Conversations of the Wicked This will not prove us to have righteous Souls with Lot but legal Spirits Paul's great Heaviness and continual Sorrow in his Heart for his Kinsmen according to the Flesh was not commendable but culpable O God of infinite Patience and Goodness whence is it that when thine Enemy made Repentance Compunction bitterness of Spirit feeling Sin a burden to be so far from being a Duty a necessary one as thou hast made it that with him it became a Sin of debasing of Christ and so scoff'd at thou hadst not sent him to Hell immediately to cry Alas there who ●idicul'd it here Blind Toby could not see the Absurdities he on all occasions committed as when he tells us we are to do no Duties to profit our selves but others
