A89563	A defence of infant-baptism: in answer to two treatises, and an appendix to them concerning it; lately published by Mr. Jo. Tombes. Wherein that controversie is fully discussed, the ancient and generally received use of it from the apostles dayes, untill the Anabaptists sprung up in Germany, manifested. The arguments for it from the holy Scriptures maintained, and the objections against it answered. / By Steven Marshall B.D. minister of the Gospell, at Finchingfield in Essex.

baptise_v of_o infant_n but_o none_o for_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o ●ords_n day_n although_o herein_o i_o humble_o conceive_v they_o be_v mistake_v i_o doubt_v not_o but_o it_o do_v and_o will_v appear_v to_o impartial_a and_o unprejudiced_a reader_n that_o there_o be_v sufficient_a evidence_n of_o a_o institution_n for_o both_o of_o they_o though_o not_o in_o such_o express_a text_n of_o scripture_n in_o the_o new-testament_n as_o the_o anabaptist_n require_v and_o i_o shall_v now_o examine_v whether_o you_o bring_v any_o better_a evidence_n for_o the_o one_o then_o be_v to_o be_v find_v for_o the_o other_o first_o you_o say_v they_o mean_v it_o of_o positive_a worship_n consist_v in_o outward_a rite_n and_o not_o of_o worship_n which_o be_v natural_a or_o moral_a answ_n but_o this_o but_o a_o blind_a moral_a and_o natural_a be_v not_o to_o be_v confound_v whatever_o worship_n be_v natural_a may_v be_v indeed_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v moral_a but_o not_o whatever_o be_v moral_a be_v to_o be_v esteem_v natural_a i_o know_v you_o can_v be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o receive_a distinction_n of_o morale_n naturale_fw-la and_o morale_n positivum_fw-la and_o i_o beseech_v you_o though_o a_o sabbath_n be_v grant_v to_o be_v natural_a yea_o if_o i_o shall_v add_v that_o one_o day_n in_o the_o revolution_n of_o seven_o shall_v be_v so_o yet_o that_o this_o or_o that_o seven_o day_n in_o the_o revolution_n of_o a_o week_n shall_v be_v observe_v all_o grant_v this_o depend_v upon_o a_o institution_n and_o have_v no_o more_o morality_n in_o it_o then_o what_o can_v be_v make_v out_o from_o a_o institution_n and_o consequent_o that_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n shall_v be_v the_o christian_a sabbath_n or_o that_o this_o one_o day_n of_o seven_o which_o god_n have_v separate_v to_o himself_o and_o have_v once_o express_o fix_v upon_o the_o seven_o or_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n shall_v be_v translate_v from_o the_o last_o day_n to_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n must_v depend_v whole_o upon_o a_o institution_n and_o consequent_o they_o who_o reject_v that_o which_o depend_v upon_o positive_a institution_n unless_o its_o institution_n can_v be_v express_o find_v in_o the_o new-testament_n be_v as_o much_o at_o a_o loss_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n as_o for_o the_o baptise_v of_o infant_n nay_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o add_v that_o in_o this_o point_n in_o question_n the_o advantage_n lie_v more_o on_o this_o hand_n i_o mean_v for_o infant-baptisme_n because_o there_o be_v more_o necessity_n of_o clear_v the_o institution_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n then_o for_o baptise_v of_o infant_n because_o in_o the_o one_o the_o ordinance_n itself_o and_o its_o institution_n be_v question_v but_o in_o this_o of_o infant-baptisme_n the_o question_n be_v not_o of_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o ordinance_n itself_o but_o only_o of_o the_o subject_n to_o who_o the_o ordinance_n be_v to_o be_v apply_v if_o the_o question_n be_v betwixt_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n day_n all_o grant_n that_o we_o have_v clear_a institution_n for_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n then_o for_o the_o lord_n day_n baptism_n be_v clear_o institute_v in_o the_o new-testament_n to_o be_v the_o sacrament_n of_o our_o admission_n into_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o to_o succeed_v in_o the_o room_n of_o circumcision_n as_o yourself_o grant_v now_o the_o only_a question_n be_v whether_o take_v this_o for_o grant_v that_o baptism_n succeed_v in_o the_o room_n of_o circumcicision_n and_o to_o be_v apply_v unto_o all_o person_n by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n who_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o he_o whether_o the_o same_o person_n may_v partake_v of_o this_o sacrament_n as_o may_v partake_v of_o the_o other_o unless_o those_o person_n be_v express_o set_v down_o in_o the_o new-tement_a i_o hope_v in_o the_o judgement_n of_o all_o indifferent_a man_n a_o question_n about_o the_o person_n to_o who_o a_o ordinance_n be_v to_o be_v apply_v be_v a_o question_n of_o a_o far_o inferior_a nature_n to_o that_o question_n whether_o such_o a_o thing_n pretend_v to_o be_v a_o ordinance_n have_v any_o institution_n at_o all_o or_o not_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o invent_v a_o new_a ordinance_n of_o worship_n another_o and_o that_o of_o inferior_a rank_n to_o mistake_v in_o some_o of_o the_o person_n to_o who_o a_o ordinance_n be_v to_o be_v apply_v in_o some_o of_o the_o ancient_a time_n the_o lord_n supper_n be_v give_v to_o infant_n and_o carry_v to_o sick_a person_n when_o absent_a to_o testify_v their_o

a_o great_a difference_n between_o bring_v in_o a_o new_a ordinance_n and_o apply_v it_o to_o these_o or_o these_o person_n especial_o when_o the_o question_n be_v not_o of_o the_o person_n in_o

the_o same_o person_n be_v tie_v to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n who_o of_o old_a be_v tie_v to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n unless_o those_o party_n be_v mention_v in_o the_o new-testament_n as_o

of_o infant_n as_o there_o be_v for_o the_o religious_a observation_n of_o the_o christian_a sabbath_n notwithstanding_o the_o latter_a seem_v to_o require_v full_a evidence_n than_o this_o do_v your_o second_o explication_n give_v you_o as_o little_a advantage_n you_o say_v that_o apostolical_a example_n which_o have_v not_o a_o me●re_o temporary_a reason_n be_v enough_o to_o prove_v a_o

the_o mention_v of_o the_o lord_n day_n revel_v 1._o sir_n i_o except_v against_o none_o of_o all_o this_o to_o be_v a_o part_n of_o that_o good_a evidence_n which_o we_o have_v for_o the_o religious_a observation_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n but_o i_o dare_v confident_o speak_v it_o that_o out_o of_o these_o you_o can_v never_o evince_v more_o lay_v all_o thing_n together_o to_o prove_v the_o institution_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n than_o i_o have_v do_v for_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o baptise_v of_o infant_n and_o i_o appeal_v to_o all_o learned_a reader_n whether_o the_o many_o book_n

from_o these_o example_n with_o as_o much_o confidence_n and_o scorn_n as_o yourself_o do_v that_o which_o i_o and_o other_o have_v name_v for_o paedobaptism_n and_o as_o for_o the_o supplement_n which_o you_o bring_v out_o of_o the_o constant_a practice_n of_o the_o church_n for_o the_o religious_a observation_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n in_o stead_n of_o the_o old_a sabbath_n i_o earnest_o desire_v you_o in_o your_o next_o to_o produce_v as_o many_o of_o the_o ancient_n to_o bear_v witness_n to_o that_o truth_n as_o i_o have_v do_v in_o this_o point_n for_o paedobaptism_n and_o i_o

other_o be_v capable_a of_o baptism_n in_o this_o say_v you_o i_o grant_v many_o thing_n which_o do_v yield_v the_o cause_n sir_n i_o shall_v not_o recall_v any_o one_o of_o they_o make_v your_o best_a of_o your_o advantage_n 1._o hence_o you_o collect_v it_o follow_v that_o baptise_v of_o infant_n be_v not_o according_a to_o johns_n and_o christ_n disciple_n and_o the_o apostle_n practice_v i_o answer_v it_o no_o way_n follow_v if_o you_o take_v but_o that_o in_o which_o immediate_o follow_v that_o their_o infant_n come_v in_o in_o their_o parent_n right_a 2._o hence_o i_o grant_v say_v you_o that_o no_o other_o be_v capable_a of_o baptism_n but_o wherein_o i_o beseech_v you_o have_v i_o grant_v the_o cause_n in_o say_v their_o infant_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o it_o till_o their_o parent_n come_v in_o and_o when_o they_o 〈◊〉_d in_o their_o child_n come_v in_o also_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n what_o need_v you_o keep_v such_o a_o coil_n in_o ask_v whether_o believer_n have_v then_o no_o child_n or_o whether_o the_o apostle_n have_v no_o commission_n or_o whether_o we_o have_v a_o commission_n if_o they_o have_v not_o you_o go_v on_o and_o say_v i_o think_v to_o salve_v it_o thus_o when_o once_o themselves_o be_v instruct_v and_o baptize_v than_o their_o child_n be_v capable_a of_o it_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n i_o do_v so_o and_o what_o have_v you_o to_o say_v against_o it_o why_o then_o say_v you_o they_o be_v capable_a in_o johns_n time_n and_o the_o apostle_n time_n and_o this_o destroy_v that_o which_o i_o say_v before_o that_o then_o none_o but_o teach_v person_n be_v capable_a of_o baptism_n but_o where_o do_v i_o say_v so_o i_o say_v there_o be_v no_o express_a mention_n make_v of_o any_o other_o i_o say_v also_o infant_n be_v not_o capable_a till_o their_o parent_n come_v in_o because_o their_o parent_n be_v to_o come_v under_o this_o new_a administration_n but_o i_o never_o say_v when_o their_o parent_n be_v come_v in_o in_o john_n time_n and_o christ_n time_n that_o their_o child_n then_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o it_o yea_o i_o have_v show_v good_a ground_n by_o consequence_n that_o the_o practice_n be_v otherwise_o further_o you_o say_v it_o seem_v i_o cou●d_v produce_v no_o institution_n in_o the_o new_a administration_n but_o the_o institution_n of_o circumcision_n because_o i_o say_v the_o child_n be_v capable_a by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o the_o validity_n of_o argue_v from_o circumcision_n have_v be_v consider_v before_o and_o you_o further_o add_v that_o the_o covenant_n be_v the_o same_o at_o all_o time_n as_o my_o first_o conclusion_n hold_v the_o child_n of_o believer_n be_v as_o capable_a in_o john_n time_n as_o after_o and_o thus_o you_o say_v my_o word_n do_v plain_o interfere_v i_o answer_v i_o have_v abundant_o prove_v that_o this_o ground_n from_o the_o covenant_n be_v the_o same_o and_o our_o infant_n right_v the_o same_o with_o they_o to_o the_o covenant_n and_o our_o baptism_n succeed_v in_o the_o room_n and_o place_n of_o circumcision_n be_v a_o sufficient_a ground_n for_o this_o practice_n though_o there_o be_v no_o express_a mention_n of_o they_o in_o this_o new_a administration_n nor_o do_v i_o ever_o say_v that_o infant_n of_o believer_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o it_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n in_o john_n time_n so_o that_o this_o triumph_n of_o you_o be_v not_o the_o fruit_n of_o my_o interfering_n but_o of_o your_o own_o blindness_n or_o stumble_v whereas_o in_o the_o close_a of_o this_o section_n i_o say_v if_o any_o in_o the_o jewish_a church_n have_v receive_v commission_n to_o go_v and_o make_v other_o city_n proselyte_n to_o they_o their_o commission_n must_v have_v run_v thus_o go_v teach_v and_o circumcise_v and_o yet_o it_o will_v not_o thence_o have_v follow_v that_o none_o may_v be_v circumcise_v but_o 〈◊〉_d as_o be_v first_o teach_v you_o answer_v the_o commission_n must_v have_v have_v reference_n in_o the_o execution_n of_o it_o either_o to_o the_o old_a institution_n of_o circumcision_n gen._n 17._o or_o to_o a_o new_a institution_n and_o then_o it_o will_v have_v be_v tell_v plain_o what_o and_o who_o they_o be_v to_o circumcise_v i_o reply_v suppose_v it_o have_v go_v according_a to_o the_o institution_n gen._n 17._o which_o as_o you_o say_v be_v to_o circumcise_v male_n at_o eight_o day_n old_n not_o teach_v i_o hope_v you_o will_v not_o say_v they_o may_v circumcise_v the_o male_n of_o any_o at_o eight_o day_n old_a although_o their_o parent_n be_v not_o teach_v which_o be_v the_o case_n that_o i_o put_v you_o can_v i_o perceive_v deny_v this_o case_n to_o be_v parallel_n only_o this_o argue_v from_o circumcision_n to_o baptism_n you_o can_v away_o with_o but_o sir_n this_o reason_n be_v justify_v to_o be_v good_a rumpuntur_fw-la ut_fw-la ilia_fw-la the_o second_o objection_n i_o thus_o express_v it_o be_v express_o say_v baptize_v that_o he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v shall_v be_v save_v faith_n in_o christ_n be_v the_o condition_n upon_o which_o man_n may_v be_v baptize_v and_o no_o other_o unbeliever_n may_v not_o be_v baptize_v child_n be_v unbeliever_n therefore_o they_o may_v not_o be_v baptize_v they_o say_v the_o negative_a be_v include_v under_o the_o affirmative_a believe_a be_v the_o affirmative_a unbelieved_a be_v the_o negative_a therefore_o where_o believer_n be_v command_v to_o be_v baptize_v unbeliever_n be_v forbid_v to_o be_v baptize_v this_o argument_n i_o say_v the_o anabaptist_n do_v very_o much_o glory_n in_o my_o answer_n to_o it_o be_v to_o this_o effect_n that_o if_o this_o argument_n have_v any_o answ_n strength_n at_o all_o against_o the_o baptise_v it_o have_v much_o more_o strength_n against_o the_o salvation_n of_o infant_n because_o it_o be_v express_o say_v both_o affirmative_o and_o negative_o he_o that_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v but_o be_v that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v

look_v by_o what_o distinction_n they_o will_v maintain_v the_o salvation_n of_o infant_n against_o this_o argument_n by_o the_o same_o will_v i_o more_o clear_o justify_v the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n against_o this_o argument_n i_o add_v now_o further_o if_o they_o take_v believer_n in_o a_o contradistinction_n to_o infidel_n than_o i_o say_v infant_n of_o believer_n be_v believer_n as_o well_o as_o the_o child_n of_o infidel_n be_v infidel_n if_o they_o take_v believer_n in_o a_o more_o restrain_a sense_n for_o positive_a and_o actual_a faith_n than_o i_o deny_v that_o this_o be_v a_o necessary_a condition_n require_v to_o be_v find_v and_o manifest_v in_o every_o one_o who_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v as_o i_o have_v at_o large_a prove_v before_o and_o yourself_o can_v deny_v to_o this_o argument_n your_o answer_n be_v only_o this_o that_o you_o own_v not_o the_o argument_n only_o thus_o far_o you_o own_v it_o viz._n that_o a_o profession_n of_o faith_n be_v a_o

not_o own_o this_o argument_n yet_o it_o stand_v upon_o the_o same_o ground_n that_o the_o rest_n of_o your_o argument_n do_v and_o upon_o the_o same_o ground_n that_o many_o of_o your_o expression_n do_v such_o as_o this_o that_o man_n be_v not_o to_o be_v baptize_v because_o they_o may_v have_v grace_n but_o because_o they_o have_v it_o but_o now_o you_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o this_o that_o to_o have_v true_a faith_n be_v a_o pre-requisite_a to_o baptism_n you_o be_v content_v with_o a_o outward_a confession_n of_o it_o only_o and_o that_o a_o visible_a profession_n give_v right_a to_o a_o visible_a membership_n and_o consequent_o that_o a_o visible_a membership_n give_v a_o right_a to_o baptism_n which_o be_v the_o thing_n i_o have_v be_v contend_v for_o all_o this_o while_n as_o for_o what_o you_o add_v that_o in_o the_o day_n of_o justin_n martyr_n tertullian_n cyprian_n and_o so_o forward_o this_o confession_n before_o baptism_n be_v continue_v it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v
