A86328	The foundation of the font discovered to the view of all that desire to behold it. And, the baptizing of men and women when they believe (in rivers and fountains) proved to be a standing ordinance in the Church of Cchrist to the end of the world; by plain Scripture-proof. In answer to Mr. Cook's Font uncovered, for infant-baptism; and Mr. Baxter's Plain Scripture-proof for infants church-membership and baptism. With a word sometimes upon occasion to Mr. Hall's Font-guarded; which is more fully answered by Thomas Collyer. By Henry Haggar, a servant of Christ, and the congregations of his saints.

if_o you_o walk_v not_o in_o the_o same_o footstep_n which_o they_o do_v then_o i_o can_v prove_v as_o well_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v then_o a_o constitute_v church_n according_a to_o the_o

they_o but_o they_o be_v not_o neither_o be_v you_o though_o a_o true_a church_n may_v be_v in_o england_n 1600_o year_n ago_o and_o possible_o may_v be_v find_v now_o again_o you_o say_v that_o they_o and_o their_o child_n be_v then_o admit_v into_o the_o covenant_n and_o church_n as_o abraham_n and_o his_o family_n be_v by_o circumcision_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v it_o still_o remain_v for_o you_o to_o prove_v that_o they_o and_o their_o child_n be_v admit_v into_o church-fellowship_n i_o deny_v it_o prove_v it_o if_o you_o can_v or_o else_o you_o have_v do_v nothing_o as_o for_o abraham_n and_o his_o family_n be_v circumcise_v i_o grant_v it_o because_o the_o scripture_n say_v so_o but_o you_o have_v no_o scripture_n for_o infant_n baptism_n if_o you_o have_v show_v it_o if_o you_o can_v and_o as_o for_o that_o covenant_n that_o circumcision_n be_v a_o token_n of_o it_o be_v far_o different_a from_o the_o covenant_n now_o under_o the_o gospel_n as_o i_o shall_v show_v by_o and_o by_o the_o next_o thing_n you_o speak_v of_o be_v a_o national_a church_n which_o you_o seem_v to_o prove_v thus_o in_o that_o the_o lord_n say_v gen._n 22.18_o to_o abraham_n that_o in_o his_o seed_n all_o nation_n shall_v be_v bless_v answ_n but_o he_o do_v not_o say_v that_o all_o of_o all_o nation_n shall_v be_v bless_v nor_o yet_o that_o all_o of_o any_o nation_n shall_v be_v bless_v and_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o you_o think_v in_o your_o own_o conscience_n that_o some_o in_o this_o nation_n be_v not_o bless_v for_o by_o your_o write_n you_o pronounce_v we_o accurse_v and_o i_o suppose_v there_o be_v many_o that_o live_v in_o know_a sin_n as_o drunkenness_n whoredom_n wichcraft_n murder_n theft_n etc._n etc._n of_o your_o own_o church_n and_o yet_o you_o dare_v not_o judge_v they_o bless_v in_o christ_n if_o you_o do_v why_o do_v you_o hang_v they_o up_o every_o assize_n and_o session_n if_o they_o be_v member_n of_o christ_n their_o body_n be_v temple_n of_o the_o holy_a

bring_v this_o scripture_n psal_n 22_o 27_o 28._o which_o say_v all_o the_o end_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v remember_v and_o turn_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o all_o kindred_n of_o the_o nation_n shall_v worship_v before_o he_o for_o the_o kingdom_n be_v the_o lord_n and_o he_o be_v the_o governor_n among_o the_o nation_n answ_n when_o that_o day_n shall_v come_v and_o that_o prophecy_n be_v fulfil_v we_o will_v grant_v you_o it_o be_v fulfil_v but_o for_o present_v i_o think_v you_o will_v be_v our_o witness_n that_o all_o nation_n do_v not_o serve_v he_o for_o the_o turk_n and_o moor_n and_o indian_n with_o many_o other_o do_v not_o serve_v nor_o worship_n god_n neither_o do_v all_o in_o this_o nation_n worship_v he_o as_o aforesaid_a but_o peter_n word_n be_v true_a if_o you_o please_v act._n 10.34_o 35_o viz._n that_o in_o every_o nation_n he_o that_o fear_v god_n and_o work_v righteousness_n be_v accept_v for_o god_n be_v no_o respect_v of_o person_n but_o there_o be_v many_o in_o this_o nation_n which_o do_v not_o fear_n god_n and_o work_n righteousness_n therefore_o no_o national_a church_n 3_o you_o say_v isa_n 49.23_o that_o king_n shall_v be_v nurse_v father_n and_o queen_n shall_v be_v nurse_v mother_n to_o the_o church_n answ_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o i_o deny_v not_o but_o prove_v you_o that_o it_o be_v so_o if_o you_o can_v as_o for_o england_n king_n and_o queen_n it_o be_v well_o know_v how_o they_o will_v have_v nurse_v the_o church_n if_o they_o have_v but_o have_v their_o mind_n or_o if_o you_o please_v to_o side_n with_o they_o and_o the_o cavalier_n party_n and_o own_v they_o for_o a_o church_n yet_o be_v the_o other_o that_o oppose_v they_o contrary_a mind_a therefore_o you_o can_v have_v no_o national_a church_n 4_o you_o say_v isa_n 52.15_o that_o christ_n shall_v sprinkle_v many_o nation_n answ_n it_o be_v grant_v but_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o he_o do_v sprinkle_v whole_a nation_n it_o be_v also_o true_a as_o the_o apostle_n say_v heb._n 10.22_o that_o believer_n have_v their_o heart_n sprinkle_v from_o a_o evil_a conscience_n and_o their_o body_n wash_v with_o pure_a water_n but_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v therefore_o that_o all_o man_n and_o such_o as_o be_v wicked_a and_o profane_a have_v their_o heart_n sprinkle_v from_o a_o evil_a conscience_n therefore_o no_o national_a church_n and_o i_o much_o wonder_v that_o you_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n who_o for_o the_o generality_n of_o you_o hold_v and_o preach_v that_o christ_n do_v not_o die_v for_o all_o man_n but_o only_o for_o some_o few_o elect_a person_n shall_v yet_o preach_v up_o national_a church_n and_o impudent_o say_v all_o england_n be_v so_o far_o in_o covenant_n as_o all_o their_o child_n ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v i_o confess_v you_o have_v all_o need_n to_o have_v seven_o year_n education_n at_o cambridge_n or_o oxford_n or_o else_o you_o can_v never_o make_v these_o thing_n hang_v together_o but_o that_o the_o people_n will_v see_v your_o folly_n 5_o you_o say_v from_o matt._n 28.19_o do_v not_o christ_n command_v his_o apostle_n to_o go_v into_o all_o nation_n and_o preach_v and_o baptize_v answ_n but_o do_v not_o you_o know_v that_o they_o never_o baptize_v whole_a nation_n nor_o yet_o whole_a city_n but_o most_o man_n hate_v and_o abuse_v they_o so_o as_o they_o be_v force_v to_o shake_v the_o dust_n off_o their_o foot_n against_o they_o and_o we_o read_v but_o of_o seven_o church_n in_o all_o asta_n which_o be_v one_o quarter_n of_o the_o world_n and_o they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o convert_v and_o baptise_v whole_a nation_n that_o we_o read_v but_o of_o four_o or_o five_o whole_a household_n in_o all_o the_o scripture_n that_o be_v baptize_v therefore_o not_o likely_a to_o baptize_v whole_a nation_n but_o if_o they_o do_v any_o such_o thing_n we_o desire_v to_o see_v it_o moreover_o we_o grant_v you_o if_o a_o whole_a nation_n can_v be_v convert_v by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n they_o ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v but_o you_o baptize_v little_a babe_n that_o know_v not_o what_o the_o word_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o primitive_a practice_n act._n 8.12_o 6_o you_o bring_v rev._n 11.15_o which_o say_v the_o kingdom_n of_o this_o world_n be_v become_v our_o lord_n and_o his_o christ_n and_o he_o shall_v reign_v for_o ever_o answ_n i_o tell_v you_o already_o that_o i_o believe_v such_o time_n shall_v be_v but_o they_o be_v not_o yet_o if_o they_o be_v than_o we_o shall_v no_o long_o need_v to_o pray_v thy_o kingdom_n come_v and_o in_o that_o day_n satan_n shall_v not_o deceive_v the_o nation_n see_v rev._n 20.3_o but_o sir_n i_o suppose_v these_o thing_n be_v too_o hard_o for_o you_o to_o understand_v though_o you_o be_v a_o

the_o nation_n of_o they_o that_o be_v save_v shall_v walk_v in_o the_o light_n of_o the_o new_a jerusalem_n answ_n that_o be_v grant_v but_o that_o new_a jerusalem_n be_v not_o yet_o here_o below_o for_o drunkard_n and_o wicked_a person_n to_o walk_v by_o but_o paul_n say_v gal._n 4.26_o that_o it_o be_v above_o and_o be_v free_a and_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o all_o the_o saint_n 8_o last_o you_o say_v if_o a_o company_n of_o believer_n in_o one_o house_n have_v be_v call_v a_o church_n domestical_a than_o a_o multitude_n of_o believer_n in_o a_o city_n or_o nation_n may_v be_v call_v a_o national_a church_n i_o answer_v that_o be_v grant_v if_o they_o be_v all_o believer_n as_o you_o say_v at_o first_o but_o little_a babe_n be_v not_o believer_n therefore_o your_o argument_n will_v not_o hold_v one_o thing_n more_o i_o have_v to_o answer_v to_o you_o in_o your_o six_o page_n which_o be_v this_o you_o say_v we_o affirm_v a_o negative_a namely_o that_o the_o baptism_n or_o sprinkle_n of_o infant_n be_v not_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n etc._n etc._n and_o here_o you_o follow_v we_o on_o to_o purpose_n and_o tell_v

general_a in_o they_o but_o also_o such_o word_n as_o speak_v to_o every_o saint_n in_o christ_n and_o member_n in_o particular_a as_o the_o word_n all_o the_o saint_n every_n saint_n in_o christ_n and_o every_o one_o of_o you_o and_o every_o branch_n in_o i_o etc._n etc._n but_o for_o example_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o one_o probable_a argument_n from_o mat._n 18.15_o 16_o 17._o in_o these_o word_n if_o thy_o brother_n sin_n against_o thou_o go_v and_o tell_v he_o his_o fault_n between_o thou_o and_o he_o alone_o if_o he_o shall_v hear_v thou_o thou_o have_v gain_v thy_o brother_n if_o not_o then_o take_v with_o thou_o one_o or_o two_o more_o that_o in_o the_o mouth_n of_o two_o or_o three_o witness_n every_o word_n may_v be_v establish_v and_o if_o he_o shall_v neglect_v to_o hear_v they_o tell_v it_o to_o the_o church_n and_o if_o he_o neglect_v to_o hear_v the_o church_n let_v he_o be_v to_o thou_o a_o heathen_a man_n and_o a_o publican_n from_o all_o which_o i_o argue_v thus_o first_o if_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o church-member_n to_o watch_v over_o one_o another_o and_o proceed_v in_o order_n according_a to_o this_o rule_n than_o they_o must_v be_v such_o as_o understand_v this_o rule_n but_o little_a babe_n of_o 8_o day_n week_n or_o month_n old_a can_v understand_v this_o rule_n therefore_o they_o can_v be_v visible_a church-member_n second_o if_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o church-member_n to_o tell_v one_o another_o of_o their_o fault_n than_o they_o must_v be_v such_o as_o can_v both_o speak_v and_o judge_v what_o a_o fault_n be_v or_o else_o how_o can_v they_o tell_v one_o another_o of_o their_o fault_n but_o little_a babe_n can_v neither_o speak_v nor_o judge_v in_o such_o case_n therefore_o they_o can_v be_v church-member_n three_o if_o the_o fault_n of_o particular_a member_n in_o such_o case_n may_v and_o must_v be_v bring_v before_o the_o whole_a church_n for_o they_o to_o hear_v and_o judge_v then_o the_o whole_a church_n ought_v to_o be_v such_o as_o can_v judge_v and_o likewise_o declare_v their_o mind_n but_o little_a infant_n be_v not_o such_o therefore_o no_o visible_a church-member_n but_o it_o may_v be_v the_o objection_n against_o all_o this_o will_v be_v that_o this_o rule_n do_v not_o reach_v or_o concern_v all_o church-member_n because_o the_o word_n all_o or_o every_o one_o or_o whole_a church_n be_v not_o find_v in_o the_o text_n but_o i_o shall_v leave_v it_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o wise_a that_o fear_n god_n and_o be_v worshipper_n of_o he_o in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n many_o more_o such_o argument_n as_o this_o may_v be_v bring_v of_o which_o the_o time_n will_v fail_v to_o relate_v therefore_o i_o shall_v omit_v they_o and_o proceed_v to_o prove_v in_o opposition_n to_o mr._n baxter_n and_o mr._n cook_n other_o argument_n that_o little_a child_n that_o can_v speak_v word_n nor_o understand_v the_o gospel_n if_o they_o hear_v it_o be_v not_o nor_o can_v be_v christ_n disciple_n argument_n i._n my_o first_o argument_n be_v from_o mat_n 28.19_o in_o these_o word_n 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 and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n the_o plain_a english_a of_o which_o mr._n baxter_n himself_o confess_v to_o be_v go_v make_v disciciple_n baptise_v they_o etc._n etc._n from_o whence_o i_o argue_v thus_o if_o those_o disciple_n which_o christ_n command_v the_o apostle_n to_o baptize_v must_v be_v first_o make_v so_o than_o they_o be_v not_o so_o bear_v if_o they_o have_v they_o shall_v not_o have_v need_n to_o be_v make_v so_o again_o the_o word_n say_v teach_v all_o nation_n or_o make_v disciple_n say_v mr_n baxter_n whence_o i_o argue_v thus_o if_o make_v disciple_n all_o nation_n and_o teach_v all_o nation_n be_v all_o one_o as_o mr._n baxter_n affirm_v then_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o disciple_n be_v make_v by_o preach_v the_o word_n but_o infant_n that_o can_v speak_v word_n nor_o understand_v earthly_a thing_n if_o we_o tell_v they_o can_v much_o less_o understand_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n declare_v by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n therefore_o here_o mr._n baxter_n and_o i_o must_v have_v some_o discourse_n before_o we_o part_v a_o for_o he_o tell_v we_o of_o divers_a way_n to_o make_v disciple_n beside_o teach_v of_o they_o which_o in_o plain_a term_n be_v to_o say_v there_o be_v divers_a way_n to_o make_v scholar_n beside_o or_o without_o teach_v of_o they_o which_o to_o i_o be_v a_o paradox_n again_o mr._n baxter_n be_v very_o willing_a to_o prove_v infant_n disciple_n say_v page_n 22._o line_n 1_o 2_o 3._o that_o its_o enough_o to_o make_v they_o disciple_n that_o they_o be_v devote_v to_o learning_n if_o they_o live_v and_o that_o they_o be_v consecrate_v to_o christ_n as_o their_o master_n who_o can_v teach_v they_o hereafter_o so_o that_o he_o will_v prove_v they_o disciple_n or_o scholar_n first_o and_o have_v they_o teach_v afterward_o strange_a doctrine_n and_o unheard-of_a divinity_n the_o which_o lest_o any_o shall_v object_v against_o he_o stout_o back_n with_o a_o learned_a argument_n as_o he_o will_v have_v it_o thus_o be_v it_o not_o a_o common_a thing_n to_o call_v the_o whole_a nation_n of_o turk_n mahometan_n old_a and_o young_a why_o then_o may_v we_o not_o call_v ourselves_o and_o our_o child_n disciple_n of_o christ_n and_o then_o he_o tell_v we_o another_o story_n of_o a_o man_n that_o hire_v a_o philosopher_n to_o teach_v he_o and_o
