A31094	A briefe answer to A discourse, lately written by one P.B., to prove baptisme under the defection of Antichrist, to be the ordinance of Iesus Christ, and the baptizing of infants to be agreeable to the word of God wherein is declared ... that true baptisme and a false church are inconsistent, and cannot stand together : and also maintained, that the baptizing of infants hath no authority from the Scriptures / by R. Barrow.	Barrow, Robert, d. 1697.	1642 (1642)	Wing B967; ESTC R12474	18,380	26

which_o he_o instance_v and_o say_v that_o we_o lose_v by_o urge_v baptism_n to_o hold_v forth_o burial_n and_o resurrection_n i_o answer_v that_o he_o be_v much_o mistake_v therein_o for_o as_o dip_v in_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v wash_v 2_o king_n 5.14_o compare_v with_o 10._o so_o likewise_o unto_o wash_v by_o dip_v be_v necessary_o require_v much_o water_n as_o be_v
