A74992	An ansvver to Mr. J.G. his XL. queries, touching the lawfulness, or unlawfulness of holding church-communion, between such who have been baptized after their beleeving, and others who have not otherwise been baptized, then in their infancie. As likewise touching infant, and after baptism. In which answer, the undueness of such mixt communion is declared, the unlawfulness of infant-baptism, and the necessity of after baptism is asserted.

in_o scripture_n for_o such_o church-constitution_n as_o that_o of_o rome_n and_o england_n be_v he_o may_v as_o well_o disclaim_v communion_n with_o church_n build_v upon_o infant_n baptism_n too_o since_o there_o be_v no_o more_o example_n in_o scripture_n of_o such_o a_o church_n constitution_n than_o there_o be_v of_o the_o constitution_n of_o those_o church_n with_o who_o he_o have_v disclaim_v communion_n especial_o consider_v that_o there_o be_v example_n in_o abundance_n in_o scripture_n of_o church_n of_o a_o better_a constitution_n and_o that_o be_v of_o saint_n baptise_a after_o they_o have_v believe_v 2._o as_o to_o matter_n of_o precept_n though_o there_o be_v no_o literal_a or_o sillabical_a precept_n for_o baptise_a person_n to_o disclaim_v communion_n in_o church-fellowship_n with_o unbaptise_v one_o no_o more_o than_o there_o be_v for_o disclaim_v communion_n with_o the_o fall_v church_n before_o mention_v yet_o if_o the_o querist_n will_v say_v that_o there_o be_v precept_n in_o scripture_n which_o do_v virtual_o require_v he_o to_o disclaim_v communion_n with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o the_o parochial_a church_n in_o their_o way_n than_o i_o will_v say_v the_o same_o concern_v baptise_a believer_n their_o refuse_v communion_n with_o unbaptised_a if_o it_o be_v demand_v what_o precept_n do_v virtual_o require_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o non-communion_n of_o baptise_a with_o unbaptised_a i_o answer_v 1._o for_o those_o that_o plead_v the_o precept_n of_o circumcise_n infant_n under_o the_o law_n as_o virtual_o require_v the_o baptise_v of_o infant_n under_o the_o gospel_n i_o think_v this_o shall_v be_v satisfactory_a as_o to_o they_o and_o so_o to_o the_o querist_n himself_o as_o touch_v the_o case_n in_o hand_n viz._n where_o god_n require_v circumcision_n under_o pain_n of_o be_v exclude_v communion_n with_o the_o church_n say_v the_o uncircumcised_a manchild_n who_o flesh_n of_o his_o foreskin_n be_v not_o circumcise_v that_o soul_n shall_v be_v cut_v off_o from_o his_o people_n gen._n 17.14_o for_o what_o less_o can_v be_v mean_v by_o that_o expression_n shall_v be_v cut_v off_o from_o his_o people_n then_o that_o such_o a_o one_o shall_v be_v deprive_v communion_n with_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n in_o church-fellowship_n if_o it_o be_v say_v a_o cut_n off_o by_o death_n be_v thereby_o intend_a than_o i_o say_v that_o be_v exclusive_a of_o church-communion_n likewise_o for_o the_o major_n include_v the_o minor_a and_o it_o be_v more_o to_o be_v cut_v off_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o death_n from_o all_o opportunity_n of_o future_a communion_n with_o the_o church_n than_o it_o be_v for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v debar_v present_a communion_n only_o in_o order_n to_o his_o repentance_n that_o he_o may_v be_v regular_o capable_a of_o communion_n afterward_o but_o whether_o such_o a_o cut_n off_o be_v in_o that_o place_n intend_v or_o no_o most_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o such_o a_o cut_n off_o be_v enjoin_v exod._n 12.48_o where_o it_o be_v say_v speak_v of_o the_o passover_n that_o no_o uncircumcised_a person_n shall_v eat_v thereof_o and_o therefore_o if_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n from_o circumcision_n to_o baptism_n which_o if_o it_o be_v not_o let_v the_o pedobaptist_n bid_v adieu_o to_o their_o cause_n of_o infant_n baptism_n which_o be_v build_v and_o bottom_v thereupon_o than_o it_o follow_v undeniable_o by_o way_n of_o analogy_n that_o as_o uncircumcision_n by_o the_o command_n of_o god_n do_v deprive_v person_n of_o communion_n with_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o church-fellowship_n then_o so_o non-baptism_n do_v debar_v person_n of_o church-communion_n now_o and_o now_o which_o of_o the_o horn_n of_o this_o dilemma_n will_v the_o pedobaptist_n suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v gore_v by_o will_v they_o say_v the_o consequence_n be_v not_o good_a to_o argue_v the_o exclusion_n of_o unbaptised_a person_n from_o church-communion_n from_o the_o exclusion_n of_o uncircumcised_a person_n from_o act_n of_o church-communion_n while_o circumcision_n be_v in_o force_n if_o so_o then_o how_o can_v the_o consequence_n be_v good_a to_o argue_v the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n from_o the_o circumcision_n of_o infant_n for_o the_o same_o thing_n have_v the_o same_o consequence_n and_o to_o thing_n alike_o belong_v the_o like_a reason_n and_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o let_v they_o either_o grant_v my_o inference_n or_o for_o ever_o cease_v any_o more_o to_o infer_v from_o infant_n circumcision_n to_o infant_n baptism_n 2._o i_o will_v argue_v further_o thus_o the_o same_o law_n which_o enjoin_v the_o learned_a querist_n and_o other_o of_o his_o way_n to_o deny_v the_o privilege_n of_o their_o church_n to_o other_o believer_n that_o be_v not_o of_o their_o church_n but_o do_v scruple_n their_o way_n and_o can_v submit_v to_o their_o order_n the_o same_o law_n do_v enjoin_v baptize_v believer_n not_o to_o admit_v into_o fellowship_n with_o they_o in_o church_n privilege_n such_o person_n though_o believer_n as_o do_v scruple_n their_o order_n and_o way_n of_o be_v baptize_v in_o order_n to_o church_n communion_n and_o will_v not_o submit_v thereto_o for_o the_o scripture_n be_v every_o whit_n as_o express_v for_o baptism_n to_o precede_v the_o enjoyment_n of_o church_n privilege_n as_o it_o be_v for_o a_o voluntary_a consent_n to_o church_n order_n and_o government_n to_o precede_v the_o same_o enjoyment_n nay_o i_o be_o confident_a that_o the_o argument_n and_o plea_n bring_v to_o prove_v it_o lawful_a to_o admit_v believer_n to_o such_o communion_n without_o baptism_n if_o admit_v as_o good_a will_v overthrow_v and_o level_v the_o order_n and_o discipline_n of_o particular_a church_n for_o if_o one_o single_a person_n may_v be_v admit_v to_o church-priviledge_n without_o baptism_n or_o without_o submit_v to_o the_o order_n and_o rule_v of_o the_o church_n both_o which_o be_v previous_a to_o act_n of_o church-communion_n and_o i_o affirm_v the_o case_n be_v more_o clear_a for_o baptism_n in_o this_o behalf_n in_o scripture_n than_o it_o be_v for_o that_o submission_n and_o consent_n i_o speak_v of_o i_o say_v if_o one_o person_n may_v be_v admit_v upon_o such_o term_n then_o why_o not_o two_o if_o two_o why_o not_o ten_o and_o so_o a_o hundred_o or_o a_o thousand_o and_o
