A77753	A iustification of two points now in controversie with the Anabaptists concerning baptisme: the first is, that infants of Christians ought to be baptized, with grounds to prove it, and their objections answered. With a briefe answer to Master Tombes twelve doubtfull arguments against it in his exercitation about infants baptisme. Also a briefe answer to Captaine Hobsons five arguments in his falacy of infants baptisme, being (as he saith) that which should have beene disputed by him, and Mr. Knowles, and some others; against Mr. Calamy and Mr. Cranford. The second point is, that the sprinckling the baptized more agreeth with the minde of Christ then dipping or plunging in or under the water: with grounds to prove it, and a briefe auswer [sic] to what they have to say against it. / By T.B.

plural_a number_n than_o there_o be_v more_o baptism_n than_o one_o but_o paul_n speak_v of_o baptism_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n hebr._n 6.2_o therefore_o there_o be_v more_o than_o one_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v like_o paul_n speak_v of_o the_o outward_a and_o inward_a baptism_n and_o the_o gift_n of_o miracle_n and_o call_v they_o altogether_o baptism_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n or_o it_o may_v be_v he_o put_v the_o suffering_n of_o christian_n and_o wash_v their_o corpse_n after_o death_n which_o be_v call_v baptism_n because_o the_o very_a next_o thing_n paul_n speak_v of_o be_v the_o resurrection_n howsoever_o if_o paul_n here_o speak_v of_o divers_a kind_n of_o baptism_n which_o it_o be_v most_o likely_a he_o do_v than_o this_o text_n will_v not_o warrant_v a_o second_o

they_o again_o with_o water_n now_o as_o i_o be_v desire_v i_o shall_v give_v a_o brief_a answer_n to_o captain_n hobson_n five_o argument_n first_o say_v he_o the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n do_v direct_o deny_v christ_n to_o be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n because_o it_o keep_v on_o foot_n that_o which_o be_v before_o christ_n and_o end_v by_o christ_n as_o come_v in_o the_o flesh_n that_o

that_o be_v true_a abraham_n be_v damn_v and_o then_o by_o and_o by_o he_o say_v the_o seed_n and_o son_n of_o abraham_n must_v be_v believer_n gal._n 3.7.9.14.22.28.29_o then_o sure_o he_o receive_v the_o token_n of_o that_o everlasting_a covenant_n but_o how_o be_v we_o gentile_n the_o seed_n and_o son_n of_o abraham_n i_o answer_v by_o receive_v the_o sign_n and_o token_n of_o that_o everlasting_a covenant_n as_o a_o seal_n to_o our_o faith_n as_o he_o do_v rom._n 4.11_o and_o we_o be_v his_o child_n by_o receive_v the_o same_o faith_n in_o christ_n as_o he_o have_v but_o we_o be_v not_o abraham_n child_n as_o christ_n be_v our_o everlasting_a father_n who_o stand_v as_o a_o general_a person_n represent_v all_o the_o elect_n and_o receive_v a_o covenant_n for_o they_o and_o

make_v as_o the_o first_o be_v make_v with_o adam_n and_o all_o we_o come_v under_o it_o when_o we_o take_v upon_o we_o his_o natural_a image_n so_o the_o second_o covenant_n be_v make_v with_o christ_n and_o the_o elect_v come_v under_o it_o when_o they_o receive_v his_o spiritual_a image_n so_o than_o the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n be_v before_o christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o christ_n do_v not_o come_v to_o take_v away_o the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n but_o to_o change_v they_o from_o circumcision_n to_o baptism_n and_o to_o enlarge_v they_o to_o all_o nation_n and_o to_o female_n as_o well_o as_o male_n act_n 8.12_o than_o the_o keep_n on_o foot_n this_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n which_o christ_n institute_v after_o his_o come_n in_o the_o flesh_n do_v not_o deny_v his_o come_n in_o the_o flesh_n neither_o be_v this_o to_o hold_v circumcision_n which_o be_v the_o token_n before_o his_o come_n in_o the_o flesh_n than_o this_o argument_n fall_v to_o nothing_o whereby_o he_o will_v prove_v infant_n baptism_n to_o deny_v the_o come_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n but_o then_o he_o say_v the_o pharisee_n and_o saducee_n plead_v that_o they_o be_v abraham_n seed_n and_o will_v be_v baptise_a and_o yet_o john_n will_v not_o till_o they_o repent_v and_o believe_v mat._n 3.7.8.9_o i_o answer_v if_o they_o have_v repent_v of_o their_o sect_n and_o

baptize_v they_o unto_o repentance_n and_o bid_v they_o believe_v and_o such_o be_v make_v disciple_n act_n 19.12_o 34._o but_o john_n know_v that_o such_o sectary_n will_v be_v but_o as_o viper_n to_o the_o true_a religion_n therefore_o he_o will_v not_o baptize_v they_o unless_o they_o will_v leave_v their_o heresy_n and_o schism_n then_o it_o be_v not_o because_o they_o be_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n that_o he_o refuse_v it_o but_o because_o they_o will_v not_o leave_v their_o heresy_n and_o schism_n this_o can_v keep_v infant_n from_o baptism_n which_o have_v no_o sect_n nor_o schism_n to_o repent_v of_o but_o he_o have_v another_o argument_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o baptise_v of_o infant_n direct_o deny_v the_o come_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o that_o be_v this_o he_o say_v it_o take_v from_o christ_n his_o prophetical_a and_o kingly_a office_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n give_v he_o as_o come_v in_o the_o flesh_n i_o answ_v christ_n have_v those_o office_n before_o he_o come_v in_o the_o flesh_n he_o be_v king_n and_o priest_n to_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n although_o not_o so_o manifest_a as_o to_o the_o christian_n church_n but_o how_o the_o baptise_v of_o infant_n shall_v rob_v christ_n of_o those_o office_n be_v a_o paradox_n to_o all_o wise_a man_n but_o he_o say_v because_o it_o make_v the_o old_a testament_n to_o expound_v the_o new_a but_o what_o of_o this_o christ_n eat_v with_o sinner_n and_o some_o be_v offend_v at_o it_o and_o he_o send_v they_o to_o the_o old_a testament_n say_v learn_v what_o that_o mean_v 〈◊〉_d will_v have_v mercy_n and_o not_o sacrifice_n mat._n 9.13_o but_o do_v christ_n

by_o this_o lose_v his_o prophetical_a office_n by_o send_v they_o to_o the_o old_a testament_n to_o expound_v his_o do_n in_o the_o new_a there_o be_v no_o truth_n in_o this_o argument_n nor_o in_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o will_v prove_v by_o it_o but_o then_o he_o say_v baptise_v of_o infant_n rob_v christ_n of_o his_o kingly_a office_n in_o give_v law_n and_o make_v it_o a_o duty_n to_o baptize_v infant_n i_o answ_v they_o have_v a_o command_n from_o christ_n to_o teach_v and_o baptize_v all_o nation_n but_o how_o be_v a_o nation_n teach_v but_o when_o those_o of_o year_n receive_v the_o christian_n religion_n and_o make_v profession_n of_o it_o by_o a_o positive_a law_n of_o that_o land_n or_o else_o it_o be_v unpossible_a that_o any_o nation_n shall_v be_v either_o teach_v or_o baptize_v and_o so_o the_o commission_n of_o christ_n will_v be_v to_o no_o purpose_n and_o if_o child_n be_v exclude_v how_o shall_v the_o nation_n come_v in_o as_o be_v promise_v isa_n 22._o micah_n 4.2_o but_o the_o truth_n be_v if_o the_o parent_n be_v of_o the_o christian_a religion_n it_o be_v potential_o in_o the_o child_n and_o the_o parent_n have_v power_n to_o bring_v they_o up_o in_o that_o religion_n and_o therefore_o aught_o to_o baptize_v they_o in_o it_o but_o i_o shall_v speak_v more_o of_o this_o in_o answer_n to_o his_o three_o arment_n but_o this_o may_v suffice_v to_o prove_v that_o we_o have_v a_o command_n to_o baptize_v infant_n then_o we_o do_v not_o entrench_v upon_o the_o kingly_a office_n of_o christ_n and_o there_o be_v neither_o sense_n nor_o reason_n to_o say_v if_o we_o do_v entrench_v upon_o his_o kingly_a office_n that_o this_o be_v to_o deny_v his_o come_n in_o the_o flesh_n when_o as_o his_o kingly_a office_n be_v before_o as_o well_o as_o since_o his_o come_n in_o the_o flesh_n than_o all_o this_o hinder_v not_o infant_n baptism_n so_o much_o in_o answer_n to_o his_o first_o argument_n i_o shall_v be_v brief_a in_o the_o rest_n his_o second_o argument_n be_v this_o infant_n baptism_n have_v no_o part_n of_o righteousness_n in_o it_o therefore_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v do_v his_o proposition_n be_v prove_v thus_o whatsoever_o be_v consider_v as_o a_o part_n of_o righteousness_n be_v see_v in_o the_o person_n or_o practice_n of_o christ_n but_o infant_n baptism_n be_v neither_o see_v in_o his_o person_n nor_o practice_n for_o he_o be_v not_o baptize_v in_o his_o infancy_n neither_o do_v he_o baptize_v any_o infant_n and_o yet_o he_o say_v it_o become_v we_o to_o fulfil_v all_o righteousness_n mat._n 3.15_o therefore_o infant_n may_v not_o be_v baptize_v i_o answer_v christ_n come_v to_o fulfil_v the_o moral_a law_n and_o so_o to_o free_v his_o people_n from_o that_o bond_n of_o perfect_a obedience_n to_o it_o and_o he_o suffer_v the_o penalty_n due_a to_o our_o sin_n to_o free_v we_o from_o the_o curse_n of_o it_o thus_o by_o his_o active_a and_o passive_a obedience_n he_o fulfil_v all_o righteousness_n this_o he_o do_v in_o his_o own_o person_n alone_o and_o there_o be_v none_o with_o he_o isa_n 63.3_o psal_n 47.8_o but_o here_o in_o his_o answer_n to_o john_n baptist_n he_o do_v not_o say_v it_o become_v i_o but_o it_o become_v we_o to_o fulfil_v all_o righteousness_n mat._n 3.15_o nay_o the_o action_n be_v johns_n and_o not_o he_o for_o jesus_n come_v to_o he_o to_o be_v baptize_v verse_n 13._o so_o then_o i_o conceive_v the_o meaning_n to_o be_v this_o john_n be_v send_v or_o command_v to_o baptize_v with_o water_n see_v john_n 1.33_o and_o he_o that_o believe_v that_o jesus_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v to_o be_v baptize_v act_v 8.37_o but_o jesus_n as_o a_o man_n believe_v this_o and_o therefore_o in_o obedience_n to_o that_o command_n be_v to_o do_v it_o and_o jesus_n to_o suffer_v it_o thus_o say_v jesus_n it_o become_v we_o to_o fulfil_v all_o righteousness_n but_o it_o do_v not_o become_v john_n to_o baptize_v before_o he_o be_v send_v to_o do_v it_o nor_o jesus_n to_o suffer_v before_o the_o command_n be_v give_v to_o john_n to_o baptize_v john_n 3.33_o then_o he_o can_v not_o be_v baptize_v in_o his_o infancy_n because_o the_o command_n be_v not_o then_o give_v again_o if_o he_o have_v be_v baptize_v in_o his_o infancy_n than_o it_o may_v be_v question_v whether_o man_n of_o year_n may_v be_v baptize_v neither_o will_v the_o heathen_a have_v suffer_v their_o child_n unless_o themselves_o have_v be_v admit_v to_o baptism_n and_o christ_n be_v baptize_v in_o the_o middle_n of_o his_o age_n that_o neither_o infant_n nor_o old_a age_n may_v be_v exclude_v from_o baptism_n again_o jesus_n come_v to_o be_v baptise_a as_o soon_o as_o there_o be_v one_o appoint_v and_o send_v to_o do_v it_o then_o if_o we_o have_v lawful_a minister_n find_v to_o baptize_v our_o infant_n we_o ought_v to_o suffer_v they_o to_o do_v it_o because_o it_o become_v we_o to_o fulfil_v the_o righteous_a command_n of_o christ_n but_o if_o it_o be_v with_o we_o as_o it_o be_v with_o christ_n that_o we_o have_v no_o lawful_a minister_n to_o do_v it_o till_o we_o be_v of_o his_o age_n than_o we_o may_v lawful_o stay_v as_o long_o as_o he_o die_v before_o we_o baptize_v our_o infant_n but_o then_o the_o captain_n say_v if_o god_n will_v have_v have_v jesus_n baptize_v soon_o he_o will_v have_v send_v one_o soon_o to_o do_v it_o to_o this_o i_o may_v say_v if_o god_n will_v not_o have_v our_o infant_n baptize_v than_o he_o will_v not_o send_v minister_n to_o they_o so_o soon_o to_o do_v it_o and_o whereas_o the_o captain_n faith_n it_o be_v no_o part_n of_o righteousness_n because_o christ_n baptize_v not_o infant_n to_o this_o i_o may_v answer_v christ_n baptize_v none_o at_o all_o with_o water_n john_n 4.2_o then_o if_o this_o argument_n be_v good_a it_o be_v no_o part_n of_o righteousness_n to_o baptize_v infant_n either_o young_a or_o old_a but_o i_o shall_v prove_v it_o to_o be_v a_o part_n of_o righteousness_n to_o baptize_v infant_n in_o answer_n to_o his_o next_o argument_n but_o for_o the_o present_a you_o see_v his_o prove_n remove_v by_o which_o he_o will_v prove_v infant_n baptism_n to_o have_v no_o part_n of_o righteousness_n in_o it_o and_o therefore_o his_o proposition_n must_v needs_o fall_v and_o notwithstanding_o this_o argument_n christian_n infant_n ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v his_o three_o argument_n be_v this_o the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n be_v not_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n because_o it_o do_v not_o answer_v his_o commission_n mat._n 28.19_o 20._o which_o

this_o no_o infant_n can_v be_v and_o so_o can_v answer_v the_o commission_n therefore_o must_v not_o be_v baptize_v i_o answ_v that_o infant_n baptism_n be_v according_a to_o the_o commission_n of_o

but_o how_o can_v a_o whole_a nation_n be_v teach_v discipline_v and_o make_v believer_n i_o answ_v there_o be_v a_o twosold_a conversion_n and_o two_o sacrament_n answerable_a to_o this_o twofold_a

of_o grace_n now_o he_o that_o have_v the_o first_o of_o these_o to_o believe_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o that_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v the_o true_a religion_n this_o
