A93867	A precept for the baptisme of infants out of the New Testament. Where the matter is first proved from three severall scriptures, that there is such a word of command. Secondly it is vindicated, as from the exceptions of the separation, so in special from the cavils of Mr. Robert Everard in a late treatise of his intituled Baby-Baptisme routed. / By Nathaniel Stephens minister of the Gospel and Fennie-Drayton in Leicester-Shire.	Stephens, Nathaniel, 1606?-1678.	1651 (1651)	Wing S5451; Thomason E623_9; ESTC R206373	68,618	79

to_o a_o progeny_n and_o to_o a_o posterity_n of_o believer_n he_o do_v here_o look_v to_o the_o nation_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o they_o consist_v of_o believe_a parent_n and_o child_n under_o their_o

they_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o word_n they_o when_o our_o saviour_n say_v teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o his_o meaning_n be_v to_o baptize_v they_o parent_n that_o profess_v in_o their_o own_o person_n and_o their_o child_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o they_o live_v under_o their_o christian_a education_n both_o together_o make_v a_o disciple_v nation_n and_o both_o joint_o be_v the_o

there_o be_v three_o remarkable_a and_o special_a one_o that_o show_v the_o child_n to_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o word_n of_o institution_n first_o when_o our_o saviour_n say_v go_v teach_v all_o

therefore_o as_o the_o particular_a nation_n of_o the_o jew_n have_v the_o covenant_n and_o the_o seal_n to_o admit_v they_o and_o their_o infant_n into_o the_o church_n in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o own_o dispensation_n so_o it_o be_v the_o mind_n of_o christ_n in_o that_o sense_n of_o the_o commission_n that_o when_o the_o nation_n receive_v the_o faith_n they_o shall_v have_v the_o covenant_n and_o the_o seal_n for_o themselves_o and_o their_o child_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o new_a dispensation_n if_o this_o be_v so_o that_o the_o opposition_n be_v between_o nation_n and_o nation_n all_o nation_n and_o that_o particular_a nation_n we_o may_v build_v upon_o it_o that_o in_o these_o word_n go_v teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o the_o child_n be_v comprise_v in_o the_o word_n

be_v not_o so_o what_o will_v become_v of_o the_o opposition_n betwixt_o all_o nation_n in_o covenant_n and_o that_o one_o nation_n second_o by_o the_o time_n when_o the_o commission_n be_v give_v it_o be_v at_o that_o instant_n when_o circumcision_n cease_v to_o be_v the_o seal_n of_o admission_n into_o the_o jewish_a church_n after_o it_o have_v stand_v for_o two_o thousand_o year_n together_o at_o that_o very_o instant_a the_o lord_n do_v appoint_v baptism_n as_o a_o initial_a seal_n to_o come_v in_o the_o place_n of_o circumcision_n to_o perform_v the_o same_o office_n in_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n as_o circumcision_n do_v before_o in_o the_o particular_a church_n of_o the_o jew_n so_o then_o if_o circumcision_n as_o all_o do_v know_v be_v the_o door_n to_o let_v in_o father_n and_o child_n into_o the_o jewish_a church_n in_o all_o the_o time_n of_o that_o administration_n we_o can_v judge_v no_o other_o but_o that_o it_o be_v the_o mind_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o commission_n that_o his_o apostle_n shall_v teach_v all_o nation_n and_o such_o of_o they_o as_o shall_v receive_v the_o faith_n they_o shall_v by_o baptism_n be_v let_v into_o the_o

give_v commission_n to_o his_o disciple_n go_v teach_v all_o nation_n the_o doctrine_n that_o he_o will_v have_v they_o teach_v be_v no_o other_o but_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n deliver_v unto_o abraham_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o covenant_n the_o scripture_n foreseeing_a that_o god_n will_v justify_v the_o heathen_a through_o faith_n preach_v before_o the_o gospel_n to_o abraham_n

in_o the_o word_n of_o command_n to_o my_o understanding_n this_o shall_v satisfy_v that_o they_o be_v afterward_o plain_o express_v in_o the_o word_n of_o promise_n it_o be_v a_o usual_a thing_n in_o

to_o prove_v such_o a_o supply_n but_o i_o will_v choose_v one_o rather_o which_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o case_n of_o baptism_n and_o so_o you_o will_v come_v to_o have_v not_o only_o a_o precept_n but_o also_o a_o convenient_a number_n of_o example_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n the_o place_n be_v this_o crispus_n the_o chief_a ruler_n of_o the_o synagogue_n

desire_n to_o put_v a_o double_a question_n to_o your_o consideration_n the_o first_o be_v this_o whether_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o this_o scripture_n be_v not_o crispus_n and_o his_o house_n baptize_v as_o well_o as_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o corinthian_n that_o do_v believe_v here_o if_o you_o go_v to_o the_o strictness_n of_o the_o letter_n the_o other_o corinthian_n that_o do_v believe_v be_v only_o baptize_v as_o for_o crispus_n and_o his_o household_n they_o be_v say_v to_o believe_v crispus_n the_o chief_a ruler_n of_o the_o synagogue_n believe_v on_o the_o lord_n with_o all_o his_o house_n here_o only_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o their_o believe_a but_o not_o the_o least_o word_n of_o their_o baptism_n what_o then_o shall_v we_o say_v that_o they_o be_v not_o baptize_v at_o all_o he_o that_o will_v affirm_v this_o let_v he_o show_v a_o reason_n why_o the_o other_o corinthian_n believe_v shall_v be_v baptize_v and_o crispus_n a_o prime_a believer_n with_o his_o household_n shall_v be_v exempt_a from_o baptism_n second_o to_o put_v all_o out_o of_o doubt_n whosoever_o they_o be_v of_o the_o believe_a corinthian_n that_o be_v baptize_v whosoever_o the_o person_n be_v that_o do_v baptize_v they_o it_o be_v clear_a from_o another_o place_n that_o crispus_n the_o chief_a ruler_n of_o the_o synagogue_n be_v baptize_v with_o paul_n own_o hand_n i_o thank_v god_n i_o baptize_v none_o of_o you_o say_v paul_n speak_v to_o the_o corinthian_n but_o crispus_n and_o gaius_n 1_o cor._n 1.14_o if_o this_o be_v so_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o text_n in_o the_o act_n must_v be_v read_v with_o a_o supply_n the_o latter_a part_n must_v expound_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o former_a the_o word_n must_v needs_o go_v after_o this_o tenor_n crispus_n the_o chief_a ruler_n of_o the_o synagogue_n believe_v on_o the_o lord_n with_o all_o his_o house_n and_o be_v baptize_v and_o many_o of_o the_o corinthian_n believe_v be_v baptize_v here_o that_o which_o be_v want_v in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o verse_n must_v be_v supply_v with_o the_o sense_n of_o that_o part_n which_o come_v after_o or_o else_o how_o shall_v we_o reconcile_v the_o scripture_n now_o in_o the_o like_a case_n let_v we_o have_v liberty_n when_o we_o read_v be_v baptize_v every_o one_o of_o you_o to_o supply_v the_o former_a with_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n that_o follow_v after_o and_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o plain_a precept_n from_o the_o baptism_n of_o believer_n and_o their_o child_n the_o word_n must_v run_v thus_o be_v baptize_v every_o one_o of_o you_o and_o your_o child_n for_o the_o promise_n be_v to_o you_o and_o your_o child_n but_o now_o mr._n everard_n suppose_v that_o crispus_n and_o his_o household_n be_v baptize_v as_o you_o can_v suppose_v no_o other_o if_o you_o will_v prove_v constant_a to_o your_o own_o principle_n of_o believer_n baptism_n i_o say_v then_o in_o the_o second_o place_n whether_o among_o the_o corinthian_n that_o do_v believe_v through_o grace_n be_v the_o household_n of_o crispus_n the_o only_a household_n that_o be_v baptize_v if_o we_o go_v to_o the_o precise_a letter_n of_o the_o text_n there_o be_v only_o mention_v make_v of_o the_o household_n of_o crispus_n and_o not_o any_o word_n of_o the_o household_n of_o any_o other_o believer_n in_o the_o city_n of_o corinth_n what_o then_o shall_v we_o say_v that_o no_o other_o believer_n household_n be_v baptize_v in_o that_o city_n this_o can_v be_v for_o though_o crispus_n be_v a_o prime_a believer_n yet_o we_o may_v well_o imagine_v that_o other_o house_n of_o believer_n have_v the_o same_o privilege_n to_o put_v the_o matter_n out_o of_o question_n whosoever_o they_o be_v that_o do_v administer_v baptism_n to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o corinthian_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o household_n of_o stephanas_n be_v baptize_v with_o paul_n own_o hand_n for_o he_o speak_v to_o the_o corinthian_n thus_o say_v i_o baptize_v the_o household_n of_o stephanas_n and_o i_o know_v not_o whether_o i_o baptize_v any_o other_o 1_o cor._n 1.16_o therefore_o to_o reconcile_v one_o scripture_n with_o another_o we_o must_v needs_o read_v the_o forementioned_a place_n in_o the_o act_n after_o this_o manner_n crispus_n the_o chief_a ruler_n of_o the_o synagogue_n believe_v on_o the_o lord_n and_o be_v baptize_v he_o and_o his_o household_n and_o many_o of_o the_o corinthian_n hear_v believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v they_o and_o their_o household_n if_o this_o interpretation_n be_v true_a as_o i_o know_v not_o how_o else_o to_o make_v the_o scripture_n to_o agree_v than_o we_o have_v not_o only_o one_o or_o two_o or_o three_o but_o many_o example_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o baptise_v believer_n with_o their_o household_n further_o i_o may_v collect_v also_o in_o those_o time_n it_o be_v a_o usual_a manner_n among_o the_o corinthian_n when_o the_o parent_n do_v believe_v and_o profess_v it_o be_v ordinary_a for_o he_o and_o his_o household_n to_o be_v baptize_v together_o and_o therefore_o when_o particular_a mention_n be_v make_v of_o the_o household_n of_o crispus_n we_o be_v not_o to_o take_v it_o in_o that_o sense_n as_o though_o they_o be_v the_o only_a believe_a family_n in_o the_o city_n of_o corinth_n but_o the_o meaning_n be_v this_o as_o crispus_n a_o lead_n and_o a_o prime_a believer_n the_o ruler_n of_o the_o synagogue_n be_v baptize_v he_o and_o his_o household_n so_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o corinthian_n after_o the_o pattern_n of_o crispus_n believe_v be_v baptize_v they_o and_o their_o household_n from_o whence_o we_o gather_v that_o a_o believe_a household_n in_o the_o three_o and_o last_o dispensation_n be_v to_o be_v take_v in_o that_o sense_n and_o notion_n as_o ever_o before_o in_o the_o two_o former_a administration_n of_o the_o promise_n in_o the_o two_o former_a administration_n for_o two_o thousand_o year_n from_o adam_n to_o abraham_n and_o for_o two_o thousand_o year_n from_o abraham_n to_o christ_n a_o believe_a household_n be_v that_o where_o the_o parent_n do_v profess_v himself_o and_o do_v engage_v his_o family_n to_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o faith_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n must_v we_o needs_o take_v a_o believe_a household_n in_o the_o three_o dispensation_n when_o crispus_n the_o ruler_n of_o the_o synagogue_n do_v believe_v with_o all_o his_o household_n and_o when_o many_o of_o the_o corinthian_n do_v believe_v with_o all_o their_o household_n we_o be_v not_o to_o take_v it_o as_o though_o every_o one_o do_v in_o
