A45244	A treatise concerning the covenant and baptism dialogue-wise, between a Baptist & a Poedo-Baptist wherein is shewed, that believers only are the spirituall seed of Abraham, fully discovering the fallacy of the argument drawn from the birth priviledge : with some animadversions upon a book intituled Infant-baptism from heaven and not of men, defending the practise of baptizing only believers against the exceptions of M. Whiston / by Edward Hutchinson.	Hutchinson, E. M. (Edward Moss)	1676 (1676)	Wing H3829; ESTC R40518	127,506	243

the_o root_n and_o his_o posterity_n be_v the_o branch_n as_o well_o as_o his_o immediate_a infant_n and_o so_o to_o be_v baptize_v and_o if_o you_o say_v it_o be_v hard_a to_o find_v whether_o their_o progenitor_n be_v believer_n so_o far_o remote_a then_o it_o be_v but_o go_v a_o step_n high_o to_o noah_n and_o his_o faith_n will_v serve_v to_o baptise_v the_o whole_a world_n for_o noah_n consider_v as_o a_o believer_n be_v as_o well_o a_o root_n as_o abraham_n but_o that_o there_o be_v no_o kind_n of_o holiness_n in_o the_o natural_a seed_n of_o believer_n more_o than_o in_o the_o seed_n of_o unbeliever_n now_o under_o the_o gospel_n appear_v from_o these_o argument_n 1._o if_o there_o be_v no_o person_n in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o be_v account_v common_a or_o unclean_a that_o be_v unholy_a by_o nature_n more_o than_o other_o then_o there_o be_v no_o person_n to_o be_v account_v clean_a or_o holy_a by_o nature_n more_o than_o other_o but_o the_o antecedent_n be_v true_a act._n 10.28_o god_n have_v show_v i_o that_o i_o shall_v not_o call_v any_o man_n common_a or_o unclean_a ergo_fw-la so_o be_v the_o consequent_a but_o they_o that_o baptise_v infant_n break_v the_o command_n of_o god_n to_o peter_n by_o count_v the_o child_n of_o unbeliever_n common_a and_o unclean_a and_o the_o child_n of_o believer_n clean_a or_o holy_a but_o if_o the_o child_n of_o believer_n be_v holy_a with_o any_o kind_n of_o holiness_n above_o other_o then_o the_o child_n of_o unbeliever_n be_v unholy_a with_o some_o kind_n of_o unholinesse_n more_o than_o other_o and_o so_o to_o be_v account_v common_a and_o unclean_a but_o this_o be_v not_o so_o for_o believer_n child_n be_v by_o nature_n child_n of_o wrath_n as_o well_o as_o other_o as_o yourselves_o confess_v therefore_o call_v nothing_o no_o man_n or_o species_n of_o man_n common_a or_o unclean_a for_o in_o every_o nation_n he_o that_o fear_v god_n and_o work_n righteousness_n shall_v be_v accept_v observe_v divine_a acceptation_n come_v in_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o actual_a and_o personal_a righteousness_n no_o person_n nor_o their_o seed_n be_v now_o accept_v for_o the_o holiness_n of_o another_o rather_o than_o other_o 2_o if_o god_n be_v now_o no_o respecter_n of_o person_n than_o there_o be_v no_o birth_n holiness_n and_o so_o no_o peculiar_a privilege_n belong_v to_o believer_n natural_a seed_n by_o god_n appointment_n more_o than_o to_o the_o seed_n of_o unbeliever_n but_o the_o first_o be_v true_a act._n 10._o i_o perceive_v say_v peter_n that_o god_n be_v no_o respecter_n of_o person_n therefore_o so_o be_v the_o latter_a and_o that_o peter_n mean_v this_o of_o birth_n holiness_n and_o natural_a privilege_n be_v evident_a because_o he_o mention_n this_o as_o the_o result_n of_o his_o vision_n where_o he_o be_v forbid_v to_o count_v any_o man_n common_a or_o unclean_a that_o be_v more_o than_o other_o by_o nature_n for_o god_n be_v no_o respecter_n of_o person_n it_o be_v true_a all_o man_n be_v by_o nature_n common_a and_o unclean_a in_o opposition_n to_o moral_a cleanness_n and_o gospel-holiness_n but_o no_o sort_n of_o person_n be_v by_o nature_n clean_o or_o holy_a with_o any_o kind_n of_o ceremonial_a dedicative_a or_o covenant_n holiness_n above_o other_o but_o 3._o if_o there_o be_v a_o covenant_n holiness_n now_o in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o gospel_n flow_v from_o the_o root_n to_o the_o branch_n then_o god_n will_v rather_o have_v continue_v his_o church_n in_o the_o posterity_n of_o believer_n as_o of_o old_a but_o he_o have_v not_o do_v so_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o such_o holiness_n we_o read_v in_o the_o second_o of_o the_o acts._n of_o 3000._o baptize_v and_o afterward_o 5000._o the_o great_a part_n of_o which_o be_v believer_n and_o the_o 7_o church_n of_o asia_n and_o as_o you_o say_v their_o child_n holy_a with_o a_o covenant_n holiness_n it_o be_v strange_a than_o the_o church_n be_v not_o continue_v in_o their_o posterity_n but_o it_o be_v not_o for_o i_o suppose_v it_o be_v hard_a if_o not_o impossible_a to_o find_v any_o one_o of_o their_o offspring_n a_o member_n of_o any_o true_a church_n in_o the_o world_n so_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n once_o a_o true_a church_n but_o you_o do_v not_o count_v the_o present_a church_n so_o why_o they_o have_v believe_v parent_n who_o be_v in_o covenant_n and_o their_o seed_n holy_a yet_o god_n do_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o continue_v they_o a_o true_a church_n any_o long_a time_n but_o have_v rather_o raise_v his_o church_n out_o of_o the_o posterity_n of_o unbeliever_n and_o long_o continue_v they_o as_o in_o this_o nation_n our_o progenitor_n be_v all_o idolater_n as_o the_o britain_n roman_n saxon_n dane_n and_o norman_n the_o offspring_n of_o some_o of_o who_o we_o be_v yet_o god_n have_v continue_v his_o church_n among_o we_o a_o very_a considerable_a time_n but_o if_o we_o boast_v of_o our_o covenant_n holiness_n and_o birth_n privilege_n god_n may_v soon_o unchurch_n we_o and_o raise_v up_o church_n member_n out_o of_o stone_n as_o john_n the_o baptist_n tell_v the_o pharisee_n 4_o there_o be_v no_o such_o covenant_n holiness_n under_o the_o gospel_n because_o that_o holiness_n be_v a_o typical_a ceremonial_a holiness_n such_o as_o be_v in_o beast_n bird_n garment_n oil_n the_o altar_n temple_n yea_o in_o the_o whole_a land_n and_o therefore_o call_v emanuels_n land_n and_o no_o other_o kind_n of_o holiness_n be_v in_o the_o seed_n let_v pedo-baptist_n say_v what_o they_o will_v all_o which_o holiness_n be_v now_o abolish_v and_o do_v away_o and_o that_o appear_v thus_o if_o all_o uncleaness_n and_o unholyness_n that_o be_v in_o some_o beast_n bird_n garment_n oil_n altar_n temple_n and_o man_n etc._n etc._n be_v now_o abolish_v and_o do_v away_o then_o all_o that_o cleanness_n and_o holiness_n that_o be_v in_o some_o beast_n bird_n garment_n man_n etc._n etc._n be_v also_o abolish_v and_o do_v away_o but_o the_o antecedent_n be_v true_a act._n 10._o as_o appear_v by_o peter_n vision_n what_o god_n have_v cleanse_v call_v not_o thou_o common_a or_o unclean_a ergo_fw-la so_o be_v the_o consequent_a and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o uncleaness_n commonness_n and_o unholyness_n in_o some_o man_n as_o well_o as_o in_o beast_n bird_n etc._n etc._n be_v evident_a for_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o a_o jew_n to_o eat_v with_o he_o that_o be_v a_o gentile_a but_o now_o it_o be_v not_o so_o if_o a_o unbeliever_n invite_v thou_o to_o a_o feast_n if_o thou_o be_v dispose_v thou_o may_v go_v 1_o cor._n 10.25_o and_o that_o all_o this_o typical_a dedicative_a denominative_a holiness_n be_v now_o abolish_v appear_v further_a because_o that_o holiness_n that_o sanctify_v the_o jew_n land_n city_n temple_n etc._n etc._n be_v ceremonial_a only_o and_o so_o abolish_v but_o that_o holiness_n which_o sanctify_v the_o seed_n be_v the_o same_o and_o no_o other_o that_o sanctify_v the_o land_n therefore_o that_o holiness_n which_o sanctify_v the_o seed_n be_v now_o abolish_v and_o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o holiness_n of_o the_o seed_n be_v not_o typical_a and_o ceremonial_a i_o prove_v it_o thus_o 1._o if_o all_o thing_n under_o the_o law_n be_v but_o a_o figure_n and_o shadow_n of_o good_a thing_n to_o come_v then_o the_o holiness_n of_o the_o seed_n be_v but_o a_o figure_n and_o shadow_n of_o good_a thing_n to_o come_v and_o so_o a_o type_n but_o the_o antecedent_n be_v true_a as_o we_o find_v in_o the_o 9th_o and_o 10_o chapter_n of_o the_o hebrew_n where_o all_o thing_n under_o the_o law_n all_o the_o privilege_n of_o the_o old_a covenant_n all_o the_o perquisites_n dependence_n and_o appurtenance_n be_v call_v by_o such_o name_n as_o make_v they_o evident_o appear_v to_o be_v typical_a as_o first_o they_o be_v call_v a_o figure_n heb._n 9.9_o which_o be_v a_o figure_n for_o the_o time_n then_o present_a so_o verse_n 24._o for_o christ_n be_v not_o enter_v into_o the_o holy_a place_n make_v with_o hand_n which_o be_v the_o figure_n of_o the_o true_a they_o be_v call_v a_o pattern_n heb._n 9.23_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o pattern_n of_o the_o thing_n in_o the_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n 3._o they_o be_v call_v a_o shadow_n heb._n 10.1_o for_o the_o law_n have_v a_o shadow_n of_o good_a thing_n to_o come_v and_o not_o the_o very_a image_n of_o the_o thing_n so_o then_o the_o holiness_n of_o the_o seed_n be_v a_o dependence_n a_o appurtenance_n a_o privilege_n of_o the_o law_n or_o old_a covenant_n be_v but_o a_o figure_n pattern_n shadow_n and_o so_o typical_a and_o abolish_v and_o if_o you_o say_v if_o the_o holiness_n of_o the_o seed_n be_v a_o type_n what_o do_v it_o tipify_v i_o answer_v 1._o first_o it_o typify_v the_o holiness_n of_o christ_n who_o be_v call_v the_o
