A90658	A reply to a confutation of some grounds for infants baptisme: as also, concerning the form of a church, put forth against mee by one Thomas Lamb. Hereunto is added, a discourse of the verity and validity of infants baptisme, wherein I endeavour to clear it in it self: as also in the ministery administrating it, and the manner of administration, by sprinkling, and not dipping; with sundry other particulars handled herein. / By George Philips of Watertown in New England.

and_o this_o spiritual_a

epistle_n to_o the_o seven_o church_n rev._n 2._o &_o 3_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n in_o those_o church_n the_o apostle_n write_v to_o and_o that_o the_o prophet_n speak_v to_o and_o natural_a infant_n may_v be_v in_o the_o covenant_n and_o of_o the_o church_n now_o as_o they_o be_v before_o christ_n notwithstanding_o the_o five_o argument_n be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o first_o and_o second_o and_o therefore_o be_v then_o answer_v the_o six_o be_v take_v from_o hebr._n 9.8_o where_o from_o jer._n 31._o the_o apostle_n say_v behold_v i_o will_v make_v a_o new_a covenant_n with_o the_o house_n of_o judah_n not_o like_o the_o covenant_n i_o make_v with_o your_o father_n when_o i_o bring_v they_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n etc._n etc._n where_o he_o note_v that_o the_o principal_a difference_n be_v in_o the_o subject_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o let_v it_o be_v note_v that_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o covenant_n itself_o in_o his_o proceed_n he_o note_v two_o difference_n the_o first_o in_o the_o write_n of_o the_o law_n which_o in_o the_o former_a state_n be_v in_o a_o table_n of_o stone_n not_o in_o their_o heart_n as_o without_o which_o they_o may_v not_o be_v the_o house_n of_o israel_n in_o the_o latter_a the_o law_n be_v write_v in_o their_o heart_n reply_n first_o that_o this_o difference_n fall_v not_o in_o the_o time_n from_o abraham_n to_o moses_n as_o be_v clear_a for_o jeremiah_n express_v the_o time_n of_o their_o come_n out_o of_o egypt_n and_o then_o that_o time_n begin_v whence_o the_o difference_n between_o that_o state_n and_o this_o must_v arise_v nor_o be_v the_o law_n write_v before_o that_o time_n in_o table_n of_o stone_n and_o therefore_o either_o abraham_n and_o all_o those_o follow_v to_o moses_n have_v no_o law_n at_o all_o or_o it_o be_v write_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o indeed_o so_o it_o be_v as_o well_o as_o it_o be_v now_o write_v in_o any_o of_o our_o heart_n but_o it_o be_v not_o write_v in_o all_o now_o but_o only_o in_o such_o as_o belong_v to_o god_n election_n and_o so_o it_o be_v then_o and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n betwixt_o that_o period_n and_o this_o under_o christ_n in_o the_o write_n of_o the_o law_n nor_o in_o the_o subject_n second_o the_o promise_n that_o god_n make_v to_o abraham_n continue_v to_o all_o till_o moses_n time_n and_o then_o be_v not_o abolish_v but_o continue_v still_o to_o they_o till_o christ_n as_o be_v evident_a the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v to_o they_o in_o the_o wilderness_n heb._n 3._o and_o to_o they_o in_o canaan_n psal_n 95._o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o promise_n be_v take_v for_o the_o same_o gal._n 3.8.18_o and_o fince_n contimue_v to_o the_o gentile_a church_n and_o this_o promise_n be_v the_o covenant_n which_o be_v one_o in_o all_o time_n again_o this_o be_v to_o be_v attend_v that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v not_o of_o the_o covenant_n but_o of_o the_o testament_n as_o be_v clear_a by_o his_o whole_a discourse_n in_o the_o 8._o and_o 9_o chapt._n where_o he_o speak_v of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n in_o all_o and_o it_o be_v of_o a_o testament_n and_o therefore_o jeremiah_n speak_v of_o a_o testament_n also_o and_o therefore_o though_o it_o be_v common_o translate_v covenant_n yet_o it_o shall_v be_v testament_n at_o least_o covenant_n shall_v be_v understand_v testament_n this_o testament_n in_o both_o place_n be_v twofold_a the_o first_o from_o their_o come_n out_o of_o egypt_n till_o christ_n the_o second_o from_o christ_n ever_o after_o the_o first_o be_v call_v the_o old_a and_o be_v antiquate_v or_o do_v away_o the_o second_o call_v the_o new_a be_v establish_v and_o remain_v nor_o be_v the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n so_o to_o be_v attend_v in_o the_o difference_n as_o if_o they_o under_o that_o have_v not_o the_o law_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n many_o of_o they_o and_o all_o shall_v it_o be_v their_o sin_n that_o it_o be_v not_o or_o that_o these_o under_o the_o new_a testament_n have_v every_o one_o of_o they_o the_o law_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n many_o of_o they_o always_o be_v destitute_a of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n through_o their_o own_o default_n so_o that_o the_o difference_n make_v by_o he_o be_v none_o at_o all_o all_o the_o elect_v then_o have_v the_o law_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n as_o well_o as_o in_o table_n of_o stone_n and_o none_o but_o the_o elect_a have_v it_o now_o write_v in_o their_o heart_n the_o reprobate_n have_v it_o then_o and_o now_o write_v but_o in_o table_n of_o stone_n for_o the_o gospel_n abolish_v not_o the_o law_n and_o ten_o word_n but_o establish_v it_o rather_o rom._n 3._o last_o the_o other_o difference_n he_o make_v be_v from_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o law_n then_o and_o now_o in_o the_o former_a many_o of_o they_o be_v destitute_a of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n at_o the_o first_o infant_n circumcise_v the_o eight_o day_n and_o therefore_o be_v to_o learn_v god_n in_o christ_n afterward_o come_v to_o year_n but_o in_o the_o latter_a all_o do_v know_v god_n from_o the_o least_o to_o the_o great_a have_v the_o law_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n possess_v remission_n of_o sin_n in_o so_o much_o that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a shame_n for_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n that_o any_o of_o they_o shall_v be_v destitute_a of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n 1_o cor._n 15.34_o which_o can_v not_o be_v if_o infant_n be_v the_o subject_n of_o this_o covenant_n and_o church_n therefore_o the_o covenant_n since_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o same_o with_o that_o before_o christ_n reply_n first_o he_o grant_v that_o some_o than_o have_v the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n though_o many_o have_v it_o not_o but_o why_o have_v they_o it_o not_o do_v he_o not_o give_v they_o his_o spirit_n to_o write_v it_o in_o their_o heart_n which_o now_o write_v it_o in_o who_o heart_n it_o be_v write_v if_o he_o know_v it_o not_o let_v he_o read_v nehem._n 9.20_o isa_n 63.10_o act_n 7.51_o and_o to_o say_v all_o know_v god_n now_o be_v contrary_a to_o experience_n and_o scripture_n and_o that_o in_o one_o of_o the_o first_o and_o eminent_a church_n as_o his_o quotation_n show_v 1_o cor._n 15._o second_o god_n promise_v then_o and_o now_o to_o write_v this_o law_n in_o man_n heart_n offer_v himself_o to_o do_v it_o by_o his_o spirit_n give_v all_o mean_v necessary_a thereto_o then_o and_o now_o but_o they_o do_v not_o all_o then_o they_o do_v not_o all_o now_o know_v god_n because_o they_o resist_v his_o spirit_n in_o the_o mean_n there_o be_v then_o false_a prophet_n there_o be_v now_o false_a teacher_n who_o then_o lead_v away_o and_o now_o seduce_v many_o but_o all_o the_o elect_v then_o and_o fince_n obtain_v though_o the_o rest_n be_v just_o harden_v three_o it_o be_v a_o great_a shame_n that_o any_o in_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n or_o any_o else_o under_o the_o new_a testament_n know_v not_o god_n and_o so_o it_o be_v before_o and_o they_o be_v always_o blame_v for_o it_o which_o therefore_o they_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o have_v have_v else_o why_o blame_v or_o be_v they_o blame_v because_o infant_n be_v then_o in_o the_o church_n and_o know_v not_o god_n be_v they_o not_o blame_v for_o their_o own_o want_n of_o knowledge_n though_o their_o infant_n be_v uncapable_a and_o may_v not_o we_o now_o be_v blame_v if_o they_o know_v not_o god_n because_o infant_n be_v in_o the_o church_n as_o he_o conclude_v the_o covenant_n therefore_o with_o abraham_n and_o after_o till_o christ_n and_o now_o since_o be_v the_o same_o in_o substance_n though_o it_o differ_v much_o in_o circumstance_n it_o be_v the_o same_o law_n there_o write_v in_o stone_n and_o now_o in_o flesh_n which_o be_v write_v in_o many_o man_n heart_n then_o as_o now_o it_o be_v but_o not_o in_o all_o man_n heart_n now_o no_o more_o than_o before_o though_o it_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v in_o all_o then_o and_o now_o shall_v be_v and_o be_v only_o their_o own_o fault_n then_o and_o now_o in_o who_o it_o be_v and_o be_v not_o write_v and_o they_o all_o just_o perish_v for_o want_v thereof_o the_o difference_n lie_v not_o therefore_o in_o god_n dispensation_n the_o matter_n dispense_v or_o the_o subject_n to_o who_o it_o be_v dispense_v but_o in_o the_o manner_n and_o measure_n of_o dispense_n then_o more_o dark_o now_o more_o clear_o then_o more_o spare_o now_o more_o full_o heb._n 1.1_o and_o this_o shall_v suffice_v for_o reply_v to_o what_o he_o say_v against_o my_o
