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.

the_o spirit_n do_v not_o only_o discover_v man_n misery_n and_o his_o lose_a estate_n by_o reason_n of_o sin_n but_o discover_v a_o remedy_n which_o lie_v in_o the_o great_a love_n of_o god_n in_o

that_o the_o spirit_n have_v experimental_o make_v know_v unto_o he_o his_o lose_a and_o damnable_a estate_n by_o sin_n and_o that_o he_o same_o spirit_n have_v discover_v unto_o he_o the_o great_a

to_o be_v baptize_v this_o i_o shall_v therefore_o most_o insist_v upon_o wherein_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o make_v plain_a to_o you_o first_o as_o i_o say_v that_o he_o be_v to_o be_v a_o

they_o what_o they_o they_o that_o be_v teach_v or_o make_v disciple_n by_o teach_v and_o in_o my_o text_n you_o find_v that_o peter_n after_o christ_n have_v pour_v down_o the_o spirit_n upon_o

like_a manner_n as_o for_o example_n cornelius_n and_o his_o family_n have_v a_o personal_a union_n with_o the_o lord_n and_o communion_n with_o he_o before_z peter_z preach_v to_o he_o and_o he_o

therefore_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n fall_v down_o upon_o they_o they_o speak_v with_o new_a tongue_n and_o glorify_a god_n and_o peter_n and_o the_o six_o baptize_v brethren_n be_v with_o they_o no_o question_n do_v join_v in_o spirit_n and_o heart_n in_o that_o present_a spiritual_a service_n which_o cornelius_n and_o his_o family_n do_v perform_v to_o god_n they_o none_o of_o they_o at_o

water_n that_o these_o shall_v not_o be_v baptize_v that_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o well_o as_o we_o and_o paul_n in_o like_a manner_n between_o the_o time_n that_o christ_n have_v

of_o baptism_n in_o prayer_n god_n have_v communion_n with_o he_o in_o like_a manner_n i_o judge_v from_o these_o scripture_n example_n it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o baptize_v person_n to_o have_v

crucify_v that_o god_n have_v make_v lord_n and_o christ_n now_o when_o they_o hear_v this_o they_o be_v prick_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o say_v unto_o peter_n and_o to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n man_n and_o brethren_n what_o shall_v we_o do_v gospel_n the_o benefit_n of_o preach_v the_o gospel_n whence_o observe_v from_o the_o text_n that_o preach_v and_o hear_v the_o gospel_n preach_v be_v a_o special_a mean_n to_o convert_v soul_n as_o appear_v when_o peter_n preach_v and_o clear_o hold_v forth_o that_o he_o who_o they_o have_v crucify_v and_o slay_v be_v now_o to_o be_v lord_n and_o judge_n and_o exalt_v to_o that_o dignity_n by_o god_n the_o father_n when_o they_o hear_v this_o they_o be_v prick_v in_o their_o heart_n conversion_n what_o be_v the_o begin_n of_o true_a conversion_n in_o the_o second_o place_n we_o may_v observe_v from_o hence_o that_o true_a conversion_n begin_v with_o a_o prick_n in_o the_o heart_n three_o they_o when_o wrought_v upon_o and_o prick_v in_o their_o heart_n say_v to_o peter_n and_o to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n man_n and_o brethren_n what_o shall_v we_o do_v forth_o how_o they_o that_o begin_v to_o receive_v the_o save_a light_n be_v affect_v both_o towards_o it_o &_o they_o that_o hold_v it_o forth_o whence_o in_o the_o three_o place_n observe_v that_o it_o be_v the_o disposition_n of_o such_o that_o have_v the_o beginning_n of_o save_a light_n to_o desire_v more_o and_o that_o from_o they_o who_o god_n have_v speak_v to_o their_o soul_n by_o conversion_n obedience_n accompany_v true_a conversion_n four_o that_o which_o they_o do_v earnest_o inquire_v after_o be_v what_o shall_v we_o do_v which_o respect_v obedience_n they_o believe_v christ_n to_o be_v a_o lord_n as_o well_o as_o a_o saviour_n know_v that_o he_o must_v be_v submit_v to_o therefore_o say_v they_o what_o shall_v we_o do_v whence_o we_o observe_v that_o a_o true_a convert_v soul_n be_v a_o obedient_a soul_n in_o verse_n 38._o the_o answer_n of_o peter_n to_o they_o be_v in_o these_o word_n repent_v and_o be_v baptize_v every_o one_o of_o you_o from_o whence_o we_o do_v observe_v further_a gospel_n all_o call_v to_o repentance_n by_o the_o gospel_n that_o where_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v all_o man_n be_v call_v to_o repent_v last_o baptize_v whosoever_o believe_v and_o repent_v aught_o to_o be_v baptize_v that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o every_o man_n that_o believe_v and_o repent_v to_o be_v baptize_v now_o this_o last_o observation_n of_o the_o text_n be_v that_o which_o i_o shall_v at_o present_a speak_v to_o for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o such_o soul_n that_o may_v at_o present_a be_v doubtful_a of_o this_o truth_n and_o for_o the_o confirm_v such_o soul_n as_o do_v already_o believe_v it_o now_o for_o the_o better_a and_o more_o clear_a speak_v to_o this_o point_n in_o hand_n i_o shall_v explain_v what_o this_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n be_v and_o that_o in_o four_o thing_n explain_v the_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n explain_v which_o will_v more_o clear_o appear_v if_o we_o examine_v the_o commission_n that_o christ_n give_v his_o disciple_n in_o mat._n 28.19_o 20._o where_o we_o find_v v._o 16._o that_o the_o eleven_o disciple_n be_v send_v by_o christ_n who_o have_v all_o power_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n give_v to_o he_o v._o 18._o &_o v._o 19_o christ_n say_v go_v you_o therefore_o and_o teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n teach_v they_o to_o observe_v whatsoever_o i_o have_v command_v you_o from_o whence_o you_o may_v observe_v four_o thing_n contain_v in_o this_o commission_n essential_a to_o this_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n here_o be_v first_o the_o ministry_n baptism_n the_o four_o essential_o of_o baptism_n second_o the_o form_n three_o the_o name_n into_o which_o and_o fourthly_a the_o subject_n first_o the_o minister_n that_o must_v dispense_v this_o ordinance_n and_o that_o be_v preach_v disciple_n and_o so_o in_o the_o 16._o verse_n be_v the_o eleven_o denominate_v than_o the_o eleven_o disciple_n go_v away_o into_o galilee_n and_o jesus_n in_o verse_n 18_o come_v and_o speak_v unto_o they_o say_v all_o power_n be_v give_v unto_o i_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n go_v you_o therefore_o and_o teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o baptism_n who_o a_o lawful_a minister_n of_o baptism_n whence_o you_o may_v observe_v that_o the_o person_n bid_v to_o go_v be_v disciple_n enable_v to_o teach_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o the_o conversion_n of_o soul_n to_o faith_n and_o repentance_n for_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o they_o that_o be_v bid_v to_o teach_v be_v bid_v to_o baptize_v also_o so_o that_o from_o this_o commission_n i_o gather_v that_o a_o disciple_n enable_v to_o bring_v down_o god_n to_o a_o soul_n and_o to_o bring_v a_o soul_n again_o up_o to_o god_n be_v a_o lawful_a minister_n of_o baptism_n for_o that_o be_v the_o tenor_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n heb._n 8.10_o i_o will_v be_v to_o they_o a_o god_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v to_o i_o a_o people_n and_o i_o be_o my_o belove_n and_o my_o belove_a be_v i_o canticle_n c._n 3._o so_o that_o as_o god_n in_o christ_n be_v to_o be_v open_v and_o that_o in_o all_o the_o fundamental_a doctrine_n of_o faith_n for_o man_n salvation_n so_o be_v the_o soul_n conformity_n to_o god_n to_o be_v preach_v as_o the_o soul_n duty_n to_o god_n again_o so_o that_o where_o god_n have_v furnish_v a_o minister_n with_o ability_n from_o himself_o to_o declare_v the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n to_o conversion_n and_o have_v convert_v that_o soul_n be_v furnish_v with_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n to_o teach_v to_o this_o soul_n all_o the_o fundamental_a ordinance_n according_a to_o the_o commission_n which_o say_v teach_v they_o to_o observe_v whatsoever_o i_o have_v command_v you_o it_o be_v without_o doubt_n that_o this_o be_v a_o justifiable_a minister_n send_v from_o the_o lord_n according_a to_o the_o commission_n but_o though_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o preach_v the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n and_o that_o able_o for_o the_o conversion_n of_o soul_n unto_o that_o faith_n yet_o be_v destitute_a of_o the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o baptism_n and_o how_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v dispense_v to_o be_v sure_a this_o man_n be_v not_o a_o justifiable_a minister_n according_a to_o the_o commission_n because_o he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o his_o commission_n that_o when_o he_o have_v convert_v soul_n to_o the_o faith_n neither_o know_v how_o to_o discover_v to_o these_o man_n the_o fundamental_a ordinance_n of_o god_n neither_o can_v discover_v to_o they_o the_o evil_n of_o those_o superstitious_a practice_n which_o they_o have_v be_v nurse_v up_o in_o by_o the_o tradition_n of_o their_o father_n yet_o notwithstanding_o i_o dare_v not_o say_v but_o so_o far_o as_o they_o have_v a_o gift_n they_o be_v warrant_v to_o administer_v the_o same_o from_o the_o first_o of_o peter_n 4_o 10._o who_o say_v let_v every_o one_o as_o he_o have_v receive_v the_o gift_n minister_n and_o so_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o any_o christian_a man_n in_o that_o sense_n to_o administer_v such_o gift_n which_o god_n have_v bestow_v on_o they_o but_o sure_o it_o be_v that_o these_o that_o be_v utter_o unacquainted_a how_o to_o dispense_v the_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n be_v never_o send_v of_o god_n to_o dispense_v it_o that_o instead_o of_o dip_v do_v sprinkle_v and_o instead_o of_o the_o true_a subject_n a_o believer_n dispense_v it_o upon_o a_o carnal_a ignorant_a child_n and_o instead_o of_o do_v it_o into_o the_o name_n of_o father_n son_n and_o holy-ghost_n do_v sprinkle_v they_o at_o the_o name_n of_o so_o many_o word_n only_o baptism_n the_o true_a form_n of_o baptism_n in_o the_o second_o place_n the_o true_a form_n of_o baptism_n be_v command_v of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n by_o
