A79488	A Christian plea for Christians baptisme: raised from the grave of apostasie. or, a short treatise, being a reproof of some things written by A. R. in his treatise, intituled, The vanitie of childish baptisme. In the answer whereof, the lawfulnesse of infants baptisme is defended, the sufficiency of our baptisme received in the state of apostasie, shewed: and the deficiencie of the arguments brought against it manifested, by sufficient grounds and reasons drawn from the sweet fountains of holy Scripture. / [by] S.C.

you_o grant_v that_o the_o scripture_n hold_v forth_o that_o disciple_n or_o believer_n only_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v which_o be_v real_o my_o judgement_n that_o only_a believer_n or_o disciple_n

that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v so_o that_o it_o appear_v that_o salvation_n come_v not_o but_o by_o faith_n in_o christ_n for_o as_o much_o then_o as_o the_o scripture_n be_v so_o clear_a that_o these_o holy_a infant_n be_v save_v and_o see_v that_o salvation_n come_v not_o without_o repentance_n and_o faith_n it_o be_v too_o much_o presumption_n to_o say_v that_o infant_n be_v

the_o great_a reason_n or_o conceit_n that_o do_v draw_v you_o so_o to_o determine_v concern_v infant_n 25._o infant_n pag._n 25._o as_o if_o they_o be_v destitute_a of_o the_o heavenly_a gift_n and_o

of_o the_o fond_a fiction_n of_o man_n brain_n and_o not_o from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n your_o best_a way_n have_v be_v this_o to_o have_v search_v into_o the_o record_n of_o holy_a scripture_n and_o observe_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o ordinance_n of_o circumcision_n and_o compare_v the_o same_o sign_n 17.13_o sign_n gen._n 17.13_o and_o seal_n 4.11_o seal_n rom._n 4.11_o of_o

have_v examine_v whether_o the_o circumcision_n of_o apostate_n infant_n be_v according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o whether_o they_o be_v command_v by_o the_o lord_n at_o their_o return_v to_o be_v circumcise_v again_o if_o it_o have_v be_v so_o than_o you_o may_v have_v have_v ground_n to_o have_v beat_v down_o the_o baptism_n which_o be_v receive_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o way_n you_o take_v but_o instead_o of_o this_o you_o shoot_v at_o rover_n not_o keep_v to_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n and_o till_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o the_o circumcision_n of_o infant_n be_v none_o of_o the_o lord_n circumcision_n i_o must_v still_o say_v that_o the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n be_v the_o lord_n baptism_n wherefore_o stand_v to_o your_o cause_n and_o bring_v forth_o your_o strong_a reason_n for_o as_o yet_o your_o reason_n be_v very_o weak_a though_o

while_o the_o world_n stand_v see_v the_o scripture_n in_o this_o point_n be_v so_o clear_a against_o you_o i_o must_v still_o say_v that_o the_o baptism_n of_o such_o infant_n be_v lawful_a and_o
