A91973	Pædo-baptisme: or, the baptizing of infants justified: by the judgement and practice of ancient and moderne Protestant divines, both foraine, and of this nation: clearly proving the absolute necessity of baptizing infants, from the authority of sacred scripture and the force of undeniable reason. Together with an excellent letter of Mr. John Philpots to the same purpose. / Collected by Robert Ram, minister of Spalding in Lincolnshire. Published by authority.

of_o sin_n as_o it_o appear_v by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o covenant_n make_v unto_o abraham_n 17._o genes_n 17._o i_o will_v set_v my_o covenant_n between_o i_o and_o thou_o say_v the_o lord_n and_o

of_o the_o promise_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o baptism_n pertain_v as_o well_o to_o child_n as_o to_o man_n why_o shall_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o promise_n which_o be_v baptism_n in_o water_n be_v

who_o therefore_o may_v deny_v they_o the_o sign_n which_o be_v baptism_n in_o water_n st._n peter_n can_v not_o deny_v they_o to_o be_v baptize_v in_o water_n to_o who_o he_o see_v the_o holy_a

have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o well_o as_o we_o therefore_o st._n peter_n deny_v not_o baptism_n to_o infant_n for_o he_o know_v certain_o both_o by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n and_o by_o the_o covenant_n which_o be_v everlasting_a that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n pertain_v to_o infant_n none_o be_v receive_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o such_o as_o god_n love_v

therefore_o want_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n wherefore_o if_o they_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o man_n if_o they_o be_v number_v among_o the_o people_n of_o god_n as_o

in_o the_o old_a law_n be_v minister_v unto_o infant_n therefore_o baptism_n ought_v to_o be_v minister_v in_o the_o new_a law_n to_o child_n for_o baptism_n be_v come_v in_o stead_n of_o

be_v circumcise_v albeit_o the_o ministry_n of_o circumcision_n do_v still_o remain_v in_o faithful_a people_n 5._o josh_n 5._o to_o this_o i_o add_v that_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n be_v always_o ready_a to_o minister_v the_o sacrament_n to_o they_o for_o who_o they_o institute_v as_o for_o example_n we_o may_v behold_v joshua_n who_o most_o diligent_o procure_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n to_o be_v circumcise_v before_o they_o enter_v into_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n but_o since_o the_o apostle_n be_v the_o preacher_n of_o the_o word_n and_o the_o very_a faithful_a servant_n of_o jesus_n &c_n &c_n who_o may_v hereafter_o doubt_v that_o they_o baptize_v infant_n since_o baptism_n be_v in_o place_n of_o circumcision_n item_n the_o apostle_n do_v attemperate_a all_o their_o do_n to_o the_o shadow_n and_o figure_n of_o the_o old_a testamont_n therefore_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o they_o do_v attemperate_a baptism_n according_a to_o circumcision_n and_o baptize_v child_n because_o they_o be_v under_o the_o figure_n of_o baptism_n for_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n pass_v through_o the_o red_a sea_n and_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o water_n of_o jordan_n with_o their_o child_n and_o although_o the_o child_n be_v not_o always_o express_v neither_o the_o woman_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n yet_o they_o be_v comprehend_v and_o understand_v in_o the_o same_o also_o the_o scripture_n evident_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o apostle_n baptize_v whole_a family_n or_o household_n but_o the_o

child_n he_o comprehend_v in_o a_o family_n or_o household_n as_o the_o chief_a and_o dear_a part_n thereof_o therefore_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o the_o apostle_n do_v baptize_v infant_n or_o child_n and_o not_o only_a man_n of_o lawful_a age_n and_o that_o the_o house_n or_o household_n be_v take_v for_o man_n woman_n and_o child_n be_v manifest_a in_o the_o 17_o of_o genesis_n and_o
