A79488	A Christian plea for Christians baptisme: raised from the grave of apostasie. or, a short treatise, being a reproof of some things written by A. R. in his treatise, intituled, The vanitie of childish baptisme. In the answer whereof, the lawfulnesse of infants baptisme is defended, the sufficiency of our baptisme received in the state of apostasie, shewed: and the deficiencie of the arguments brought against it manifested, by sufficient grounds and reasons drawn from the sweet fountains of holy Scripture. / [by] S.C.

act_n of_o cruelty_n egyptian_n like_v to_o have_v dip_v he_o over_o head_n and_o ear_n in_o cold_a water_n which_o thing_n i_o suppose_v you_o hold_v for_o you_o cry_v out_o for_o dip_v the_o whole_a

you_o baptism_n in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v not_o god_n ordinance_n because_o it_o be_v administer_v by_o sprinkle_v or_o cast_v water_n upon_o the_o subject_n &_o you_o except_v against_o

sprinkle_v or_o put_v water_n upon_o person_n in_o baptism_n have_v be_v not_o only_o a_o ancient_a custom_n but_o a_o act_n of_o god_n own_o act_n and_o ordain_v god_n open_v the_o window_n of_o

common_a experience_n teach_v we_o so_o the_o prophet_n eliah_n wash_v his_o hand_n by_o water_n pour_v upon_o they_o 3.11_o they_o 2_o king_n 3.11_o do_v by_o his_o own_o servant_n elisha_n and_o in_o reason_n a_o man_n may_v with_o more_o ease_n &_o less_o trouble_n dip_v his_o hand_n them_z his_o face_n yet_o you_o may_v see_v the_o prophet_n make_v clean_o his_o hand_n by_o have_v water_n
