A80754	The covenant of God with Abraham, opened. Wherein I. The duty of infant-baptism is cleared. II. Something added concerning the Sabbath, and the nature and increase of the kingdome of Christ. Together with a short discourse concerning the manifestations of God unto his people in the last dayes. Wherein is shewed the manner of the spirits work therein to be in the use of ordinary gifts, not by extraordinary revelations. / By William Carter minister of the gospel in London.	Carter, William, 1605-1658.	1654 (1654)	Wing C679; Thomason E811_5; ESTC R207606	118,861	192

they_o all_o be_v separate_v thing_n but_o we_o find_v not_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n what_o it_o be_v but_o in_o the_o old_a we_o must_v search_v and_o there_o we_o find_v it_o often_o make_v

of_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o this_o matter_n of_o infant-baptisme_n be_v a_o argument_n rather_o for_o it_o then_o against_o it_o because_o have_v it_o not_o be_v take_v for_o grant_v and_o as_o

those_o who_o have_v so_o many_o question_n and_o dispute_n to_o be_v decide_v by_o the_o apostle_n have_v never_o let_v so_o great_a a_o privilege_n go_v so_o quiet_o without_o so_o much_o as_o a_o

bless_v the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o sanctify_v it_o that_o be_v make_v it_o a_o day_n which_o shall_v not_o be_v repute_v common_a but_o holy_a nor_o be_v the_o child_n of_o believer_n under_o a_o

by_o who_o it_o be_v dress_v receive_v blessing_n from_o god_n heb._n 6._o 7._o so_o psal_n 107._o 38._o yet_o here_o be_v no_o holiness_n in_o all_o this_o because_o this_o be_v do_v in_o the_o

and_o this_o be_v the_o case_n of_o infant_n of_o believe_a parent_n they_o be_v not_o only_o under_o a_o word_n of_o common_a providence_n but_o also_o under_o such_o a_o particular_a word_n of_o blessing_n from_o god_n by_o mean_n whereof_o believer_n be_v make_v blessing_n to_o their_o child_n in_o that_o which_o be_v spiritual_a and_o supernatural_a even_o to_o the_o conversion_n of_o

be_v that_o the_o apostle_n put_v that_o difference_n between_o the_o gentile_n and_o the_o jew_n as_o between_o a_o wild_a olive_n and_o a_o good_a olive_n tree_n rom._n 11._o 24._o if_o thou_o be_v

not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o that_o which_o be_v mere_o natural_a for_o the_o jew_n be_v bear_v in_o original_a sin_n and_o corrupt_v thereby_o as_o much_o as_o the_o gentile_n but_o in_o something_o supernatural_a namely_o because_o the_o jew_n though_o they_o be_v sinful_a too_o yet_o they_o be_v under_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n and_o they_o have_v god_n engage_v by_o covenant_n to_o they_o and_o their_o child_n for_o their_o good_a but_o as_o for_o the_o gentile_n he_o leave_v they_o to_o their_o natural_a condition_n without_o such_o mean_n to_o mend_v they_o nor_o be_v god_n engage_v so_o to_o they_o for_o their_o good_a but_o they_o be_v under_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n therefore_o they_o grow_v wild_a as_o a_o tree_n in_o the_o wilderness_n that_o have_v none_o to_o order_v it_o and_o so_o be_v all_o those_o that_o come_v of_o they_o such_o child_n of_o such_o parent_n alike_o under_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n in_o sin_n and_o not_o look_v after_o or_o regard_v by_o the_o

god_n with_o abraham_n and_o we_o see_v by_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n rom._n 11._o that_o look_n what_o privilege_n the_o jew_n have_v of_o this_o kind_n the_o believe_a gentile_n do_v now_o enjoy_v since_o their_o be_v graff_v into_o the_o same_o olive_n tree_n from_o whence_o the_o jew_n for_o a_o time_n be_v break_v off_o and_o that_o when_o the_o jew_n shall_v be_v again_o graff_v into_o it_o they_o shall_v enjoy_v the_o same_o again_o as_o be_v show_v p._n 39_o 40_o 41_o etc._n etc._n therefore_o i_o say_v this_o be_v one_o thing_n which_o make_v this_o difference_n between_o the_o child_n of_o believer_n and_o of_o unbeliever_n that_o they_o be_v holy_a and_o these_o common_a or_o unclean_a because_o they_o be_v under_o such_o a_o word_n of_o
