A81727	Gospel-Glory proclaimed before the sonnes of men, in the visible and invisible worship of God. Wherein the mystery of God in Christ, and his royall, spirituall government over the soules and bodies of his saints, is clearly discovered, plainly asserted, and faithfully vindicated, against the deceiver and his servants, who endeavour the cessation thereof, upon what pretence soever. / By Edward Drapes, an unworthy servant in the gospell of Christ.

argument_n first_o those_o person_n be_v only_o to_o be_v baptize_v who_o christ_n give_v arg._n 1_o baptism_n against_o infant_n baptism_n a_o commission_n to_o his_o disciple_n to_o baptize_v but_o christ_n give_v a_o commission_n to_o his_o disciple_n to_o baptize_v none_o but_o visible_a professor_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n ergo_fw-la only_a professor_n of_o faith_n be_v to_o be_v baptize_v and_o so_o not_o child_n because_o they_o can_v profess_v faith_n the_o major_a or_o the_o former_a proposition_n be_v evident_a for_o if_o they_o baptize_v other_o then_o christ_n command_v they_o they_o set_v up_o a_o ordinance_n of_o their_o own_o and_o be_v guilty_a of_o will-worship_n and_o teach_v for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n their_o own_o tradition_n if_o any_o one_o shall_v deny_v this_o i_o desire_v he_o will_v show_v i_o in_o the_o scripture_n where_o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v declare_v his_o approbation_n of_o any_o man_n set_v up_o a_o ordiance_n in_o his_o own_o house_n which_o he_o himself_o enjoin_v not_o with_o the_o reason_n for_o such_o a_o assertion_n and_o we_o will_v full_o consider_v of_o the_o matter_n the_o second_o proposition_n be_v likewise_o clear_a if_o we_o consider_v the_o commission_n give_v to_o his_o disciple_n to_o baptize_v we_o shall_v see_v the_o person_n express_o denominate_v to_o be_v believer_n as_o first_o that_o in_o matthew_n where_o christ_n say_v go_v teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o from_o whence_o many_o though_o exceed_v ignorant_o lay_v a_o foundation_n for_o infant_n sprinkle_v conclude_v all_o nation_n be_v to_o be_v baptize_v and_o infant_n be_v a_o part_n of_o nation_n therefore_o to_o be_v baptize_v not_o know_v they_o may_v as_o well_o conclude_v all_o heathen_n infidel_n barbarian_n idolater_n and_o the_o worst_a of_o man_n or_o any_o part_n of_o the_o nation_n may_v be_v baptize_v by_o the_o same_o argument_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v these_o word_n be_v a_o clear_a denial_n of_o infant_n baptism_n for_o they_o be_v first_o command_v to_o teach_v the_o nation_n and_o then_o baptize_v they_o that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o that_o be_v teach_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o greek_a 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d that_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d be_v to_o be_v refer_v to_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d include_v in_o the_o verb_n and_o that_o this_o may_v appear_v to_o be_v the_o clear_a mind_n of_o the_o spirit_n we_o will_v show_v you_o it_o can_v be_v mean_v otherwise_o for_o if_o he_o mean_v not_o they_o that_o be_v teach_v than_o they_o have_v a_o command_n to_o baptize_v unbeliever_n which_o sure_o no_o man_n that_o pretend_v to_o know_v christ_n dare_v to_o affirm_v but_o say_v some_o they_o be_v to_o baptize_v those_o that_o they_o teach_v which_o teach_v be_v object_n their_o outward_a declaration_n of_o the_o word_n so_o that_o to_o who_o they_o outward_o preach_v the_o word_n they_o may_v administer_v baptism_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o this_o be_v not_o the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o word_n teach_v for_o the_o word_n signify_v so_o to_o teach_v as_o to_o make_v disciple_n they_o sol._n be_v to_o make_v disciple_n as_o instrument_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n as_o co-worker_n with_o the_o lord_n and_o they_o they_o be_v to_o baptize_v and_o if_o it_o shall_v bemeant_v to_o all_o to_o who_o the_o word_n be_v to_o be_v preach_v whethey_a believe_v or_o no_o this_o exclude_v infant_n except_o we_o affirm_v we_o be_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o infant_n of_o day_n that_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o understand_v our_o word_n which_o i_o think_v will_v never_o beproved_n and_o as_o it_o exclude_v they_o it_o include_v all_o unbeliever_n who_o hear_v the_o word_n and_o obey_v it_o not_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o truth_n again_o in_o that_o scripture_n in_o mark_n go_v preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o every_o creature_n and_o he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v shall_v be_v save_v faith_n be_v still_o put_v before_o baptism_n if_o any_o shall_v yet_o say_v christ_n give_v a_o commission_n to_o baptise_v any_o other_o than_o believer_n let_v they_o set_v down_o where_o it_o be_v give_v and_o when_o and_o we_o will_v serious_o weigh_v that_o commission_n the_o second_o and_o last_o argument_n i_o shall_v at_o present_a propound_v though_o the_o first_o alone_o be_v sufficient_a against_o infant_n baptism_n be_v this_o that_o which_o confound_v the_o church_n and_o the_o world_n make_v they_o both_o one_o be_v altogether_o unlawful_a but_o baptism_n of_o infant_n do_v confound_v the_o church_n and_o the_o world_n together_o therefore_o unlawful_a the_o first_o be_v evident_a and_o so_o be_v the_o second_o if_o we_o consider_v that_o all_o man_n by_o natural_a generation_n be_v but_o of_o this_o world_n natural_a a_o natural_a man_n beget_v a_o son_n in_o his_o own_o likeness_n no_o man_n be_v bear_v a_o saint_n by_o virtue_n of_o his_o natural_a birth_n the_o child_n of_o believer_n and_o unbeliever_n be_v all_o in_o one_o state_n in_o respect_n of_o visible_a appearance_n but_o may_v some_o say_v that_o child_n of_o believer_n be_v in_o the_o covenant_n and_o so_o object_n be_v not_o of_o the_o world_n therefore_o they_o may_v be_v baptise_a if_o they_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n they_o be_v either_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n or_o some_o outward_a covenant_n of_o church_n ordinance_n if_o any_o sol._n say_v they_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n i_o say_v they_o be_v all_o of_o they_o so_o or_o some_o of_o they_o so_o that_o all_o be_v not_o so_o consider_v what_o be_v say_v of_o esau_n ro._n 9_o and_o indeed_o election_n be_v no_o ground_n of_o baptism_n to_o be_v administer_v but_o profession_n but_o if_o you_o say_v they_o be_v in_o a_o outward_a covenant_n i_o demand_v the_o proof_n of_o such_o a_o covenant_n in_o the_o gospel_n but_o if_o any_o say_v there_o be_v a_o outward_a covenant_n of_o churchfellowship_n with_o abraham_n natural_a seed_n so_o now_o with_o the_o natural_a seed_n of_o all_o believer_n be_v not_o too_o hasty_a in_o your_o conclusion_n consider_v the_o scripture_n there_o be_v now_o no_o seed_n of_o abraham_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n who_o be_v the_o only_a people_n of_o god_n but_o if_o we_o believe_v we_o be_v abraham_n child_n so_o that_o as_o abraham_n natural_a seed_n enjoy_v many_o jewish_a privilege_n so_o now_o abraham_n spiritual_a seed_n enjoy_v spiritual_a privilege_n abraham_n be_v in_o a_o double_a capacity_n as_o a_o father_n of_o many_o nation_n in_o the_o flesh_n to_o who_o pertain_v circumcision_n the_o give_a thelaw_n etc._n etc._n as_o a_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o so_o believer_n be_v only_o his_o seed_n but_o the_o promise_n be_v say_v to_o be_v unto_o they_o act_v 2._o 38._o the_o promise_n be_v to_o you_o object_n and_o to_o your_o child_n therefore_o if_o the_o promise_n be_v unto_o they_o why_o may_v not_o they_o have_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o promise_n consider_v in_o answer_n to_o this_o two_o thing_n 1._o those_o to_o who_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v be_v command_v first_o sol._n to_o repent_v and_o be_v baptize_v so_o that_o if_o the_o bare_a be_v in_o the_o promise_n without_o reference_n to_o faith_n be_v a_o sufficient_a ground_n for_o the_o apostle_n to_o baptize_v they_o i_o see_v not_o to_o what_o purpose_n he_o exhort_v they_o first_o to_o repent_v second_o consider_v the_o restriction_n of_o the_o promise_n it_o be_v even_o to_o as_o many_o as_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n shall_v call_v which_o must_v be_v restrain_v only_o to_o they_o whether_o you_o take_v the_o promise_n to_o be_v mean_v of_o remission_n of_o sin_n for_o this_o be_v give_v to_o no_o man_n but_o upon_o believe_v or_o if_o you_o mean_v outward_a ordinance_n they_o be_v only_o for_o the_o call_v baptism_n church_n fellowship_n break_v bread_n prayer_n all_o be_v for_o the_o call_v who_o be_v only_o able_a to_o act_v faith_n in_o they_o but_o child_n be_v circumcise_v and_o baptism_n come_v in_o the_o room_n of_o circumcision_n object_n therefore_o may_v child_n be_v baptize_v this_o reason_n from_o circumcision_n to_o baptism_n of_o infant_n will_v not_o hold_v for_o if_o you_o say_v the_o ground_n of_o both_o be_v the_o same_o and_o say_v they_o be_v circumcise_v because_o in_o

in_o that_o covenant_n that_o be_v never_o circumcise_v for_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v not_o the_o covenant_n but_o the_o command_n of_o god_n that_o be_v &_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o submit_v to_o
