Against the rusticke sophistry, and wicked cavillations of sacrilegious Anabaptists: being the summe of certaine sermons had in the parish-church of Cranham, neere the city of Gloucester, in Gloucester-shire, with the exceptions of certaine Anabaptists against the foresaid sermons, and the authors answers thereunto.

we_o be_v now_o to_o treat_v of_o christ_n glorious_a commission_n unto_o his_o legate_n and_o apostle_n wherein_o before_o we_o come_v unto_o the_o particular_a scan_n of_o the_o whole_a text_n we_o will_v premise_v two_o thing_n in_o general_n which_o will_v apposite_o reach_v the_o present_a controversy_n between_o we_o and_o the_o anabaptist_n 1._o the_o first_o general_n be_v this_o viz._n that_o the_o apostle_n and_o first_o planter_n of_o the_o gospel_n must_v no_o long_o keep_v within_o the_o precinct_n and_o border_n of_o judea_n but_o go_v out_o among_o the_o pagan-gentile_n and_o instruct_v they_o in_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o so_o seal_v they_o also_o into_o god_n peculiar_a by_o baptism_n 2._o the_o second_o general_n be_v this_o viz._n that_o the_o apostle_n have_v a_o commission_n from_o christ_n to_o go_v unto_o all_o nation_n without_o limitaion_n and_o be_v not_o to_o take_v up_o their_o settle_a residence_n in_o any_o one_o nation_n but_o to_o travel_v from_o country_n to_o country_n their_o commission_n be_v so_o large_a and_o ample_a they_o be_v for_o spain_n they_o be_v for_o rome_n for_o italy_n for_o corinth_n for_o asia_n for_o macedonia_n for_o philippi_n etc._n etc._n and_o in_o this_o they_o have_v a_o peculiar_a commission_n which_o be_v to_o plant_v foundation_n where_o christ_n be_v not_o name_v to_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n before_o lewes_z and_o gentile_n to_o be_v the_o immediate_a penman_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o deliver_v unto_o they_o the_o immediate_a will_n of_o god_n concern_v faith_n and_o worship_n and_o to_o confirm_v their_o doctrine_n by_o miracle_n as_o part_v of_o their_o extraordinary_a commission_n now_o let_v the_o anabaptist_n show_v we_o any_o such_o commission_n among_o all_o the_o mop_v ape_n of_o their_o apostolical_a instructer_n by_o who_o miraculous_a endowment_n they_o hope_v to_o see_v all_o the_o world_n bring_v to_o the_o obedience_n of_o their_o faith_n now_o this_o second_o observation_n we_o shall_v not_o speak_v of_o here_o in_o this_o treatise_n for_o such_o be_v the_o impetuous_a madness_n of_o the_o anabaptist_n at_o their_o first_o entrance_n into_o their_o new_a way_n for_o young_a beginner_n be_v most_o fiery_a that_o i_o think_v it_o prudence_n to_o forbear_v the_o further_o prosecute_n of_o this_o text_n for_o their_o objection_n will_v have_v be_v so_o many_o that_o in_o answer_v of_o they_o i_o shall_v have_v spend_v whole_a sermon_n and_o so_o have_v deprive_v my_o auditory_a of_o more_o necessary_a instruction_n and_o therefore_o i_o resolve_v to_o deal_v with_o they_o by_o writing_n and_o to_o publish_v my_o sermon-note_n or_o at_o least_o the_o sum_n of_o they_o upon_o this_o first_o general_n this_o be_v the_o very_a hinge_n upon_o which_o the_o controversy_n betwixt_o we_o and_o the_o anabaptist_n be_v turn_v the_o first_o general_n point_n than_o be_v this_o viz._n that_o the_o apostle_n and_o first_o planter_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v no_o long_o to_o keep_v within_o the_o border_n and_o precinct_n of_o judea_n but_o to_o go_v out_o among_o the_o pagan-gentile_n and_o instruct_v they_o in_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o be_v so_o instruct_v to_o seal_v they_o into_o god_n peculiar_a by_o baptism_n now_o as_o this_o point_n stand_v clear_o upon_o the_o text_n so_o other_o scripture_n suffrage_n with_o it_o as_o mark._n 16.14_o 18._o act._n 10.34_o 38._o act._n 13.47_o 48._o and_o this_o primitive_a administration_n of_o the_o gospel_n unto_o the_o pagan_a

faith_n must_v be_v the_o door_n of_o admittance_n but_o to_o make_v brief_a way_n to_o the_o clear_n of_o the_o truth_n against_o the_o obstreperous_a clamour_n and_o darken_v cavillation_n of_o the_o anabaptist_n or_o opposer_n of_o paedobaptism_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v what_o the_o state_n of_o the_o gentile_n be_v in_o point_n of_o religion_n before_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v among_o they_o by_o the_o apostle_n and_o first_o planter_n of_o christ_n kingdom_n and_o then_o what_o their_o estate_n be_v now_o where_o the_o gospel_n be_v plant_v and_o they_o baptize_v in_o point_n of_o religion_n the_o state_n of_o the_o pagan-gentile_n in_o point_n of_o religion_n before_o the_o gospel_n be_v plant_v among_o they_o may_v be_v present_v unto_o you_o in_o two_o general_n viz._n 1._o they_o be_v without_o christ_n alien_n from_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o israel_n stranger_n from_o the_o covenant_n of_o promise_n have_v no_o hope_n and_o without_o god_n in_o the_o

therefore_o be_v there_o any_o reason_n that_o these_o shall_v be_v baptize_v before_o they_o be_v turn_v from_o their_o idol_n and_o call_v to_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o repentance_n towards_o

and_o the_o apostle_n do_v so_o for_o it_o be_v express_o say_v that_o many_o of_o the_o corinthian_n hear_v believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v and_o there_o be_v good_a reason_n for_o this_o for_o

parent_n be_v not_o baptize_v before_o and_o in_o the_o state_n of_o christianity_n but_o second_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o gentile_n where_o the_o gospel_n be_v embrace_v and_o they_o baptize_v into_o the_o name_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n be_v not_o now_o the_o same_o in_o point_n of_o religion_n for_o 1._o first_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o such_o gentile_n be_v alien_n from_o the_o

in_o the_o practice_n of_o ordinary_a pastor_n in_o a_o church_n gather_v as_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n or_o any_o other_o mention_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o bring_v i_o thence_o but_o one_o instance_n that_o any_o child_n who_o parent_n be_v baptize_v and_o in_o the_o state_n of_o christianity_n be_v hold_v back_o from_o baptism_n until_o they_o can_v give_v a_o account_n of_o their_o faith_n in_o person_n and_o then_o you_o will_v speak_v to_o the_o present_a condition_n of_o god_n church_n in_o these_o time_n but_o this_o you_o can_v do_v and_o therefore_o in_o draw_v extraordinary_a instance_n into_o a_o ordinary_a canon_n to_o bind_v all_o the_o church_n of_o god_n unto_o like_a practice_n be_v to_o overthrow_v the_o nature_n of_o god_n covenant_n of_o grace_n

and_o univerfall_v commission_n belong_v to_o all_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n under_o the_o gospel_n unto_o the_o world_n end_n and_o of_o these_o minister_n some_o be_v extraordinary_a and_o to_o cease_v and_o some_o be_v ordinary_a and_o to_o continue_v so_o then_o in_o this_o short_a commission_n here_o be_v somewhat_o apostolical_a and_o peculiar_a to_o extraordinary_a minister_n which_o can_v be_v apply_v unto_o nor_o expect_v from_o ordinary_a pastor_n in_o settle_a church_n as_o to_o plant_v foundation_n to_o work_v miracle_n as_o proof_n of_o their_o immediate_a call_n

apostle_n be_v extraordinary_a minister_n which_o do_v not_o nay_o can_v not_o be_v find_v in_o ordinary_a pastor_n and_o teacher_n now_o ordinary_a pastor_n must_v preach_v and_o baptize_v as_o well_o as_o the_o apostle_n what_o then_o be_v peculiar_a to_o apostle_n as_o be_v extraordinary_a minister_n in_o this_o commission_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v peculiar_a to_o apostle_n here_o be_v penman_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n inspire_v immediate_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o plant_v foundation_n to_o deliver_v bind_v rule_n of_o faith_n and_o worship_n immediate_o from_o god_n unto_o the_o church_n which_o before_o be_v not_o give_v unto_o the_o son_n of_o man_n by_o their_o preach_n and_o work_v of_o miracle_n they_o be_v to_o convince_v jew_n and_o gentile_n that_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n which_o the_o jew_n do_v crucify_v be_v the_o true_a messiah_n and_o saviour_n of_o mankind_n the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n and_o such_o as_o do_v embrace_v the_o doctrine_n and_o faith_n of_o christ_n they_o must_v baptize_v and_o many_o be_v call_v unto_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o faith_n by_o the_o doctrine_n and_o miracle_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o these_o do_v fulfil_v their_o ministry_n when_o they_o have_v plant_v these_o foundation_n and_o deliver_v the_o full_a canon_n of_o the_o gospel_n unto_o the_o church_n and_o so_o be_v thus_o plant_v they_o do_v deliver_v over_o the_o church_n unto_o ordinary_a pastor_n and_o teacher_n as_o holy_a company_n in_o covenant_n with_o god_n whereas_o before_o they_o be_v idolater_n and_o pagan_n and_o murderer_n now_o i_o hope_v you_o expect_v not_o new_a canon_n of_o sacred_a scripture_n you_o do_v not_o expect_v that_o ordinary_a minister_n shall_v work_v miracle_n the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o then_o to_o be_v follow_v in_o thing_n of_o extraordinary_a privilege_n but_o in_o matter_n of_o ordinary_a faith_n and_o mortality_n now_o ordinary_a pastor_n find_v parent_n in_o the_o state_n of_o christianity_n in_o covenant_n with_o god_n and_o under_o his_o seal_n and_o therefore_o they_o do_v and_o must_v baptize_v their_o child_n in_o their_o infancy_n the_o strict_a urge_n of_o apostolical_a imitation_n be_v wicked_a and_o plain_a confusion_n something_o be_v here_o peculiar_a to_o extraordinary_a minister_n anabaptist_n nay_o further_o you_o grant_v we_o that_o baptism_n have_v its_o commission_n from_o this_o text_n why_o then_o we_o will_v know_v where_o and_o when_o christ_n give_v any_o commission_n to_o alter_v it_o if_o any_o i_o pray_v show_v it_o we_o if_o none_o how_o dare_v you_o or_o any_o man_n to_o alter_v and_o change_v the_o commission_n and_o command_n of_o christ_n answer_n i_o tell_v you_o that_o baptism_n be_v here_o mention_v occasional_o and_o that_o it_o be_v institute_v long_o before_o in_o john_n the_o baptist_n neither_o do_v apostle_n now_o begin_v to_o receive_v a_o commission_n to_o preach_v and_o baptize_v for_o they_o have_v receive_v this_o commission_n before_o and_o they_o do_v preach_v and_o baptize_v but_o now_o they_o have_v a_o commission_n to_o go_v unto_o all_o nation_n whereas_o before_o christ_n resurrection_n they_o be_v to_o keep_v within_o the_o precinct_n of_o judea_n and_o for_o a_o alteration_n of_o the_o commission_n by_o baptise_v infant_n of_o christian_n we_o acknowledge_v none_o neither_o can_v you_o prove_v it_o a_o alteration_n but_o distinguish_v of_o what_o be_v peculiar_a to_o apostle_n in_o this_o general_a commission_n and_o of_o what_o be_v common_a to_o apostle_n and_o ordinary_a pastor_n and_o you_o be_v answer_v i_o say_v in_o this_o short_a sum_n of_o word_n we_o have_v the_o apostolical_a ministry_n and_o the_o pastoral_a ministry_n include_v the_o apostolical_a ministry_n be_v extraordinary_a and_o to_o be_v but_o for_o a_o time_n be_v cease_v and_o no_o ordinary_a minister_n be_v to_o exercise_v such_o a_o ministry_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v by_o virtue_n of_o their_o peculiar_a function_n neither_o do_v we_o nor_o can_v we_o expect_v any_o such_o minister_n because_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o expect_v any_o new_a canon_n of_o holy_a scripture_n nor_o a_o alteration_n of_o the_o present_a liturgy_n heb._n 8.6_o the_o canon_n of_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n be_v full_a and_o the_o present_a liturgy_n be_v to_o continue_v unto_o the_o world_n end_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v absurd_a and_o impious_a for_o you_o to_o utter_v such_o confusion_n to_o use_v your_o own_o phrase_n and_o urge_v the_o apostolical_a commission_n upon_o ordinary_a pastor_n in_o the_o strict_a letter_n and_o you_o run_v it_o over_o again_o and_o again_o and_o still_o you_o have_v the_o apostle_n commission_n and_o practice_n up_o whereas_o if_o you_o look_v upon_o their_o commission_n and_o practice_n as_o extraordinary_a and_o apostolical_a both_o be_v peculiar_a unto_o they_o and_o to_o cease_v with_o they_o and_o as_o i_o say_v before_o apostle_n be_v not_o to_o be_v follow_v by_o we_o in_o thing_n of_o extraordinary_a privilege_n but_o in_o matter_n of_o ordinary_a faith_n and_o morality_n and_o so_o however_o your_o peevish_a reason_n may_v lead_v yourselves_o into_o a_o fool_n paradise_n yet_o they_o shall_v never_o drive_v we_o from_o the_o way_n of_o christ_n anabaptist_n nay_o further_a those_o to_o who_o christ_n give_v this_o commission_n unto_o he_o say_v he_o will_v be_v with_o they_o unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n but_o we_o know_v that_o the_o disciple_n live_v not_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o the_o commission_n do_v still_o last_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n thus_o for_o your_o three_o reason_n answer_n the_o commission_n indeed_o may_v be_v mean_v of_o a_o succession_n of_o person_n in_o the_o ministerial_a function_n unto_o the_o world_n end_n but_o yet_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o somewhat_o in_o this_o general_a commission_n be_v apostolical_a as_o to_o plant_v foundation_n and_o to_o have_v a_o immediate_a commission_n from_o god_n for_o to_o be_v the_o penman_n of_o the_o sacred_a canon_n minister_n do_v not_o now_o deliver_v a_o new_a canon_n of_o divine_a faith_n and_o worship_n nor_o do_v they_o prove_v their_o call_n by_o miracle_n they_o teach_v the_o church_n of_o saint_n only_o that_o which_o be_v leave_v they_o by_o apostle_n and_o prophet_n ordinary_a minister_n preach_v and_o baptize_v and_o god_n be_v with_o they_o and_o also_o will_v be_v with_o their_o surviver_n in_o that_o holy_a function_n unto_o the_o world_n end_n and_o thus_o my_o three_o reason_n be_v good_a and_o stand_v it_o will_v against_o the_o strong_a assault_n of_o satan_n and_o his_o wicked_a instrument_n reason_n 4_o the_o four_o reason_n anabaptist_n four_o you_o reason_n from_o the_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o baptism_n say_v that_o god_n do_v ordinary_o bless_v this_o baptism_n unto_o infant_n but_o true_o s_n we_o can_v but_o wonder_v at_o your_o folly_n in_o render_v such_o a_o reason_n as_o this_o well_o see_v you_o have_v render_v it_o we_o desire_v to_o answer_v it_o you_o say_v etc._n etc._n ut_fw-la infra_fw-la answer_n to_o see_v impudence_n in_o the_o face_n of_o a_o anabaptist_n be_v a_o thing_n that_o i_o no_o more_o wonder_n at_o then_o to_o see_v fish_n in_o the_o water_n or_o fly_a fowl_n upon_o the_o wing_n and_o to_o clamour_v where_o you_o can_v answer_v be_v a_o old_a trick_n that_o haply_o you_o learn_v of_o can_v that_o great_a cabalist_n for_o schism_n while_o you_o be_v of_o the_o separation_n before_o you_o come_v to_o this_o perfection_n of_o impiety_n be_v i_o to_o deal_v with_o reasonable_a man_n i_o shall_v wonder_v to_o see_v they_o so_o bereave_v of_o all_o reason_n as_o to_o sentence_v that_o argument_n folly_n which_o the_o wise_a in_o the_o school_n of_o reason_n judge_n to_o be_v demonstrative_a and_o that_o be_v a_o argument_n draw_v from_o the_o effect_n thus_o i_o argue_v we_o baptize_v child_n in_o their_o infancy_n because_o god_n do_v ordinary_o make_v our_o baptise_v of_o infant_n effectual_a to_o the_o end_n whereunto_o true_a baptism_n be_v appoint_v in_o the_o gospel_n now_o the_o end_n whereunto_o true_a baptism_n be_v appoint_v in_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o put_v on_o christ_n to_o die_v unto_o
