A30628	An argument for infants baptisme deduced from the analogy of faith, and [of the] harmony of the [Scr]iptures : in which in a method wholly new, and upon grounds not commonly observed bo[th the] doctrine (of infants baptism) is fully asserted, and the objections against it are obviated / by Richard Burthogge.

i_o will_v display_v the_o argument_n itself_o in_o all_o its_o evidence_n and_o force_n as_o it_o be_v bottom_v on_o that_o basis_n and_o this_o without_o concern_v of_o myself_o in_o other_o argument_n insist_v on_o by_o other_o and_o also_o touch_v and_o reflect_v on_o by_o you_o the_o mistake_v you_o be_v under_o in_o your_o apprehension_n of_o the_o ground_n of_o my_o argument_n be_v two_o and_o very_o great_a one_o the_o first_o that_o you_o conceive_v i_o to_o raise_v my_o superstructure_n of_o infant_n baptism_n on_o this_o foundation_n that_o the_o believe_a gentile_n and_o their_o posterity_n be_v in_o all_o respect_n to_o be_v bless_v as_o believe_v abraham_n be_v which_o say_v you_o be_v absurd_a and_o well_o you_o may_v say_v so_o for_o indeed_o abraham_n have_v peculiar_a blessing_n appropriate_v to_o his_o person_n as_o to_o be_v the_o father_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a and_o particular_o of_o believe_v gentile_n the_o father_n of_o many_o nation_n and_o therefore_o instead_o of_o abram_n he_o be_v call_v abraham_n but_o though_o all_o the_o blessing_n believe_v abraham_n have_v do_v not_o descend_v on_o his_o spiritual_a child_n or_o his_o seed_n the_o believe_a gentile_n yet_o if_o any_o blessing_n of_o believe_v abraham_n do_v descend_v as_o that_o of_o the_o promise_n do_v it_o must_v be_v understand_v that_o the_o obligation_n and_o duty_n arise_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o blessing_n which_o do_v descend_v or_o that_o be_v annex_v to_o it_o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o must_v descend_v too_o and_o so_o that_o the_o seed_n in_o that_o respect_n in_o which_o it_o be_v equal_o bless_v with_o believe_v abraham_n must_v be_v equal_o oblige_v with_o he_o to_o all_o the_o duty_n and_o incumbency_n that_o be_v the_o consequent_n and_o result_v of_o that_o blessing_n your_o second_o mistake_n be_v that_o you_o apprehend_v i_o to_o conceive_v that_o every_o child_n of_o a_o believe_a parent_n by_o virtue_n of_o his_o birth_n privilege_n and_o as_o he_o be_v a_o natural_a descendant_n of_o such_o a_o father_n or_o mother_n be_v a_o true_a child_n of_o abraham_n or_o a_o believer_n for_o that_o i_o mean_v or_o in_o your_o own_o word_n that_o the_o natural_a posterity_n of_o believe_a gentile_n bare_o as_o such_o be_v all_o of_o they_o the_o spiritual_a seed_n of_o abraham_n or_o believer_n and_o consequent_o such_o as_o be_v entitle_v on_o the_o account_n of_o be_v his_o spiritual_a seed_n or_o believer_n unto_o abraham_n be_v covenant_n and_o blessing_n and_o in_o opposition_n unto_o this_o you_o much_o enlarge_v show_v the_o many_o great_a absurdity_n and_o ill_a consequence_n of_o it_o even_o to_o fifteen_o argument_n which_o true_o as_o to_o any_o other_o who_o have_v sense_n i_o think_v and_o i_o be_o sure_a as_o to_o myself_o be_v all_o needless_a and_o may_v all_o have_v be_v spare_v certain_o i_o demand_v not_o half_a so_o much_o to_o enforce_v the_o argument_n i_o use_v i_o think_v not_o every_o child_n of_o a_o believer_n to_o be_v a_o believer_n himself_o in_o any_o sense_n much_o less_o that_o save_v grace_n be_v as_o original_a as_o sin_n or_o that_o it_o come_v by_o traduction_n all_o i_o postulate_v to_o build_v my_o argument_n be_v that_o the_o true_a believe_v gentile_a do_v not_o forfeit_a by_o believe_v his_o natural_a right_n to_o his_o child_n but_o that_o the_o child_n of_o true_a believer_n now_o under_o the_o gospel_n be_v as_o much_o they_o and_o in_o the_o same_o right_n as_o the_o natural_a child_n of_o abraham_n be_v his_o this_o be_v all_o the_o question_n that_o i_o beg_v and_o this_o sure_a you_o will_v not_o deny_v i_o only_o by_o the_o way_n i_o pray_v you_o to_o make_v no_o more_o of_o my_o concession_n than_o i_o intend_v it_o for_o for_o when_o some_o pious_a and_o very_a learned_a man_n have_v argue_v for_o infant_n baptism_n from_o the_o child_n of_o believer_n their_o be_v abraham_n spiritual_a seed_n they_o mean_v not_o i_o suppose_v by_o call_v they_o abraham_n spiritual_a seed_n as_o i_o do_v and_o as_o you_o do_v that_o they_o be_v actual_a believer_n and_o consequent_o child_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o abraham_n but_o only_o that_o they_o be_v person_n of_o a_o religious_a consideration_n and_o in_o some_o sense_n holy_a and_o relate_v to_o god_n and_o mean_v but_o so_o though_o i_o acknowledge_v child_n not_o to_o be_v abraham_n seed_n in_o the_o sense_n i_o mention_v as_o abraham_n seed_n be_v take_v for_o actual_a believer_n and_o you_o have_v prove_v by_o fifteen_o argument_n that_o they_o be_v not_o nor_o can_v be_v abraham_n seed_n in_o this_o sense_n my_o concession_n give_v you_o no_o advantage_n nor_o do_v your_o argument_n signify_v any_o thing_n against_o they_o who_o use_v the_o expression_n in_o another_o sense_n be_v nothing_o concern_v for_o if_o they_o take_v spiritual_a seed_n in_o one_o sense_n and_o you_o in_o your_o argument_n take_v it_o in_o another_o you_o do_v not_o real_o oppose_v they_o though_o you_o may_v think_v you_o do_v nor_o be_v your_o argument_n pertinent_a and_o the_o dispute_n between_o you_o as_o to_o that_o be_v indeed_o but_o strife_n about_o word_n thus_o i_o have_v with_o all_o the_o clearness_n and_o fairness_n imaginable_a let_v you_o see_v your_o two_o mistake_v about_o the_o argument_n i_o urge_v and_o therefore_o see_v you_o do_v not_o apprehend_v aright_o the_o ground_n on_o which_o i_o go_v in_o it_o i_o be_o only_o oblige_v to_o you_o for_o your_o charitable_a endeavour_n towards_o my_o satisfaction_n but_o not_o in_o the_o least_o for_o any_o effect_n of_o those_o endeavour_n it_o now_o remain_v that_o i_o perform_v what_o i_o promise_v in_o the_o second_o place_n which_o be_v to_o lay_v out_o the_o argument_n for_o pedobaptism_n as_o it_o be_v found_v on_o the_o covenant_n or_o blessing_n of_o abraham_n in_o all_o its_o force_n and_o evidence_n which_o to_o do_v to_o some_o purpose_n i_o will_v demonstrate_v first_o that_o the_o covenant_n of_o abraham_n which_o be_v call_v the_o blessing_n of_o abraham_n or_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v still_o in_o be_v and_o be_v that_o covenant_n of_o grace_n the_o true_a believe_a gentile_n be_v under_o second_o that_o in_o respect_n of_o that_o covenant_n of_o promise_n which_o be_v call_v the_o blessing_n of_o abraham_n and_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n or_o the_o spiritual_a promise_n all_o the_o seed_n that_o have_v the_o benefit_n of_o it_o be_v under_o equal_a obligation_n to_o the_o duty_n and_o incumbence_n arise_v from_o it_o with_o abraham_n himself_o three_o i_o will_v show_v that_o the_o duty_n and_o incumbence_n to_o which_o abraham_n be_v oblige_v arise_v from_o the_o covenant_n or_o bless_v give_v to_o he_o be_v by_o way_n of_o restipulation_n to_o dedicate_v and_o give_v himself_o and_o all_o his_o to_o god_n and_o in_o token_n of_o that_o dedication_n of_o himself_o and_o of_o all_o that_o be_v he_o to_o wear_v himself_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o put_v it_o as_o a_o cognizance_n and_o badge_n and_o mark_v of_o god_n upon_o all_o his_o that_o be_v capable_a of_o it_o four_o i_o will_v also_o show_v that_o from_o abraham_n dedication_n of_o himself_o and_o of_o all_o his_o to_o god_n there_o arise_v a_o distinction_n of_o holiness_n into_o internal_a and_o external_n absolute_a and_o relative_n and_o that_o this_o distinction_n of_o holiness_n be_v evangelical_n and_o have_v evidence_v these_o four_o thing_n i_o will_v then_o proceed_v in_o short_a to_o form_v my_o argument_n in_o order_n to_o the_o evidence_n of_o the_o first_o particular_a which_o be_v that_o the_o covenant_n of_o promise_n make_v to_o abraham_n which_o be_v call_v the_o blessing_n of_o abraham_n and_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n or_o the_o spiritual_a and_o evangelical_n promise_v that_o this_o be_v still_o in_o be_v and_o be_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n into_o a_o participation_n of_o which_o the_o true_a believe_v gentile_n be_v take_v i_o only_o premise_v that_o that_o be_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n the_o believe_a gentile_n be_v under_o which_o be_v the_o true_a ground_n and_o foundation_n of_o all_o their_o hope_n and_o of_o all_o their_o comfort_n and_o which_o by_o have_v a_o title_n to_o it_o and_o interest_n in_o it_o do_v give_v they_o a_o

this_o the_o mention_a covenant_n the_o blessing_n of_o abraham_n and_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v and_o do_v this_o be_v the_o true_a ground_n and_o foundation_n of_o all_o the_o hope_n of_o gentile-believer_n and_o of_o all_o their_o comfort_n and_o a_o title_n in_o this_o be_v the_o only_a title_n they_o

wave_n first_o he_o be_v consider_v single_o by_o himself_o and_o in_o his_o own_o person_n and_o so_o he_o be_v transact_v with_o and_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o he_o verses_z 2._o 4_o 5_o 6._o i_o

they_o but_o than_o second_o he_o be_v consider_v joint_o as_o concern_v with_o his_o seed_n and_o so_o he_o be_v transact_v with_o and_o promise_n be_v make_v and_o ratify_v to_o he_o in_o the_o
