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.

the_o high_a way_n that_o as_o infant_n be_v to_o be_v repute_v to_o belong_v to_o the_o covenant_n as_o well_o as_o grow_v visible_a professor_n which_o be_v the_o drift_n of_o my_o first_o

you_o be_v of_o my_o judgement_n in_o this_o point_n that_o infant_n be_v capable_a of_o new_a life_n and_o some_o of_o they_o partaker_n of_o it_o and_o i_o likewise_o consent_v with_o you_o and_o those_o above_o mention_v reverend_a divine_n that_o in_o god_n usual_a way_n of_o work_v upon_o grow_v man_n there_o be_v some_o preparation_n for_o conversion_n before_o conversion_n itself_o in_o

brief_o to_o examine_v what_o you_o have_v say_v against_o that_o which_o you_o be_v please_v to_o make_v the_o four_o infant-baptisme_n part_n of_o my_o sermon_n though_o i_o know_v no_o reason_n of_o this_o your_o analysis_n have_v i_o indeed_o make_v this_o a_o answer_n of_o all_o the_o objection_n which_o i_o undertake_v to_o answer_v you_o may_v have_v call_v it_o so_o but_o you_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o i_o intend_v here_o only_o to_o satisfy_v these_o objection_n which_o lie_v most_o proper_o against_o this_o second_o argument_n as_o before_o i_o answer_v what_o be_v most_o proper_o object_v against_o the_o first_o argument_n however_o i_o shall_v take_v it_o as_o i_o find_v it_o and_o examine_v what_o strength_n you_o have_v add_v to_o these_o objection_n the_o first_o objection_n i_o undertake_v to_o answer_v be_v to_o this_o purpose_n though_o infant_n be_v capable_a of_o these_o thing_n and_o that_o 28._o they_o be_v wrought_v by_o christ_n in_o many_o infant_n yet_o we_o may_v not_o baptize_v they_o because_o according_a to_o scripture_n pattern_n both_o of_o christ_n command_n matth._n 28._o in_o his_o institution_n of_o baptism_n and_o john_n the_o baptist_n christ_n disciple_n and_o apostle_n they_o always_o teach_v and_o make_v they_o disciple_n by_o teach_v before_o they_o baptize_v any_o and_o to_o make_v this_o argument_n the_o more_o plausible_a you_o add_v it_o be_v a_o sin_n of_o profane_v that_o sacrament_n when_o the_o institution_n be_v alter_v by_o subtraction_n or_o addition_n and_o that_o it_o be_v plead_v by_o the_o nonconformist_n that_o it_o be_v will-worship_n to_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n by_o addition_n of_o any_o thing_n to_o they_o but_o circumstance_n which_o be_v alike_o requisite_a to_o civil_a action_n now_o the_o person_n to_o be_v baptize_v can_v be_v conceive_v a_o mere_a circumstance_n but_o belong_v necessary_o to_o the_o administration_n of_o worship_n as_o well_o as_o the_o person_n baptise_v or_o the_o person_n receive_v the_o lord_n supper_n i_o answer_v i_o intend_v not_o needless_o to_o multiply_v word_n and_o therefore_o do_v grant_v that_o to_o apply_v sacrament_n to_o person_n to_o who_o they_o belong_v not_o by_o the_o lord_n appointment_n be_v a_o profanation_n of_o they_o now_o that_o it_o be_v so_o in_o this_o case_n you_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v out_o of_o this_o 28._o mat._n because_o the_o institution_n appoint_v only_a disciple_n of_o all_o nation_n to_o be_v baptize_v and_o infant_n be_v not_o such_o this_o you_o have_v make_v good_a as_o you_o say_v sect._n 13._o part_v 3_o you_o add_v christ_n order_n thus_o appoint_v it_o which_o must_v be_v keep_v in_o this_o point_n as_o well_o as_o in_o examination_n before_o the_o lord_n supper_n 1_o cor._n 11._o 28._o etc._n etc._n and_o that_o by_o the_o institution_n they_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v into_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n that_o be_v with_o invocation_n of_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o infant_n can_v do_v with_o devote_v themselves_o to_o the_o service_n and_o adverence_n of_o god_n which_o infant_n can_v do_v that_o present_o after_o baptism_n the_o baptize_v be_v to_o be_v teach_v to_o observe_v whatsoever_o christ_n command_v they_o which_o infant_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o that_o john_n baptist_n and_o the_o apostle_n always_o make_v profession_n of_o repentance_n and_o faith_n a_o antecedent_n to_o baptism_n which_o infant_n can_v make_v to_o all_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o this_o of_o matth._n 28._o be_v not_o the_o institution_n of_o baptism_n it_o be_v institute_v long_o before_o to_o be_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n it_o be_v only_o a_o enlargement_n of_o their_o commission_n whereas_o before_o they_o be_v only_o to_o go_v to_o the_o lose_a sheep_n of_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n now_o they_o be_v to_o go_v into_o all_o the_o world_n you_o reply_v if_o it_o be_v not_o the_o first_o institution_n of_o baptism_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o institution_n of_o baptism_n to_o we_o gentile_n and_o therefore_o the_o rule_n by_o which_o minister_n be_v to_o baptize_v or_o if_o not_o we_o must_v show_v another_o institution_n else_o we_o can_v acquit_v it_o from_o will-worship_n i_o answer_v all_o this_o be_v abundant_o answer_v before_o sect._n 13._o part_v 3_o and_o i_o add_v this_o enlargement_n of_o their_o commission_n be_v very_o unfit_o call_v by_o you_o a_o institution_n of_o baptism_n unto_o we_o their_o commission_n at_o the_o same_o time_n be_v enlarge_v to_o preach_v to_o the_o gentile_n will_v you_o call_v that_o a_o institution_n of_o preach_v and_o that_o the_o method_n of_o preach_v to_o we_o gentile_n must_v be_v fetch_v out_o of_o this_o place_n i_o know_v you_o will_v not_o for_o the_o rest_n of_o your_o petty_a reason_n above_o allege_a they_o resolve_v several_a 28._o of_o they_o into_o one_o and_o the_o same_o christ_n order_n be_v say_v you_o teach_v shall_v go_v before_o baptise_v be_v not_o that_o the_o same_o with_o this_o that_o man_n must_v be_v make_v disciple_n by_o preach_v before_o they_o be_v baptize_v the_o answer_v to_o the_o one_o do_v full_o satisfy_v the_o other_o but_o your_o three_o reason_n be_v a_o strange_a one_o they_o must_v be_v baptize_v into_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o be_v say_v you_o with_o invocation_n of_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n than_o it_o seem_v if_o the_o party_n baptize_v call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n by_o prayer_n that_o be_v all_o that_o be_v intend_v b●_n baptise_v into_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n that_o the_o name_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v invocate_v at_o the_o administration_n of_o baptism_n and_o of_o circumcision_n and_o of_o every_o sacrament_n be_v most_o true_a but_o that_o baptise_v into_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n son_n
