simply the argument is not conclusive In Scripturis non datur prius posterius But if they will argue hence That they must first be taught by men we retort Mark 1 4 Iohn did baptize in the wilderness and preach the baptism of repentance where you see baptism is put before preaching 3. * Matt. 28 19. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The antecedent to 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 per Synthesis Thus Romans 9 24 v. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Gall. 4.19 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Col 2.19 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Caput ex quo Mat. 15.4 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 v. 6. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 John 16.13 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Which notes the personality of the holy Ghost If we precisely stick to the words then women are excluded for the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is the masculine gender 4. For the adult we say teaching ordinarily goes before the administration of the Seal but not so in infants It was sufficient that Abraham was effectually taught though his children were not as ye● capable of instruction notwithstanding as he so they were all admitted to the seal of circumcision 5. If the Lord had given a Commission to the Apostles saying Go teach all nations circumcising them in the name of the Father had this been inconsistent with Infant-Circumcision I say no but if the Lord say Go ye disciple all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father Son and holy Ghost why should any imagin that Infants are excluded This word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 signifies properly to disciple them q. d. admit them into the school of Christ thus the word is constantly used in the new Testament as in Mat. 27 57 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 * Heb. 7.11 The people received the Law that is were legalized disciplined after a legal manner 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 He was Iesus's disciple or he was disciple to him Where we see plainly That relative discipleship may be admitted of in scripture Acts 14 21. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 having evangelized that city that is turned them into the mold of the Gospel and discipled a competent number they ordained Elders in every Church v. 23. 6. Making disciples being an aorist hath the force of a future tense 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and baptizing is of the present tense therefore 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 seems to have the precedencie 7. Though make disciples be first in order of words yet not of things For he doth not say Go make disciples and baptize them but make disciples ●aptizing them As if he had said By dedicating ●hem to God in that Ordinance they are made dis●iples of Christ 8. If children be left out in this commission it is because 1. They are not named and so women are excluded also for they are not named 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 being of the masculine gender Or 2. Because they are not capable of being taught and so of being Disciples of Christ But the contrary hath been proved That they are taught by God and after they are come out of their infancie are capable of being taught of men The Second Argument Such children as are incovenanted are to be sealed with the initial seal of the Covenant But the children of believing Parents Si rem concedant que major est cur n●n signum qu●d min●s est In omni enim Sacrament signum i● quantum signum incomparabilitèr minus est quam Res ipsa Luther de cap. Bap. are incovenanted Therefore They are to be sealed with the initial seal of the Covenant The first Proposition is proved Gen. 17 7 9 and I will establish my Covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting Covenant to be a God to thee and to thy seed after thee Thou shal● keep my Covenant therefore thou and thy seed after thee in their generations You see the Covenant is made by the Lord himself a ground of Circumcision Now where we have a promise laid for the foundation of a duty it is equivalent to any express command seeing the will of God is as well known by promise or threatning Ier. 10 25 or necessary consequence as by express command or example Yea those words thou shalt keep my Covenant therefore extend to us also in the new Testament but not as to circumcision therefore to baptism I would fain know whether by virtue of this covenant made with Abraham the posterity of Abraham shall not be reinstated into that land Mic. 7 14 15 Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead as in the days of old and according to the days of thy coming out of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things Ver. 20 Thou wilt perform thy truth to Iacob and thy mercy to Abraham which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old If so as I shall shew hereafter more fully then these words thou shalt keep my Covenant therefore can not be meant of circumcision which was long since abolished but must needs be meant of baptism which cometh instead thereof seeing there is no other initial seal mentioned in the new Testament Which seal of the Covenant not onely the natural feed of Abraham the Jews but all his spiritual seed the Gentiles are bound to apply to their children by virtue of this command Had not circumcision been ceremonial and another sign instituted instead thereof no doubt it had been in force to this day As that of the Sabbath what is moral in that command remains though that seventh day of rest from the creation be abolished yet there is another seventh day instead thereof appointed which is the first of the last seven as the other was the last of the first This then is moral in that of circumcision That our faith is to be held forth and professed to the world by the dedication of our children to God Gen. 17 12. He that is eight days old shall be circumcized This is no institution of Circumcision Erg. Exod. 12 When he speaks of the circumcision of the children of Proselytes there is no day limited for the observance thereof as is well observed by some but a subsequent directory for the particular day The institution it self we find in vers 10 without any restriction to infancie in that latitude See Ainsworth Num. 9 6 7 8. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as comprising Males of any age omnis mas every male whether man or child shall be circumcised Thus the new Testament Gal. 3 28 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 male female there is no limitation of it therefore it may as largely be taken as the word before mentioned Gen. 17 10. We see then that the Covenant is still in force and the command thereto annexed sc That Infants should be sealed onely the Seal of circumcision is turned into baptism Those males and females Gal. 3 28 are equally priviledged
