A29432	A dissuasive from the errours of the time wherein the tenets of the principall sects, especially of the Independents, are drawn together in one map, for the most part in the words of their own authours, and their maine principles are examined by the touch-stone of the Holy Scriptures / by Robert Baylie ...

eeeee_o but_o the_o great_a difference_n be_v that_o the_o independent_o of_o arnheim_n do_v stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o all_o but_o one_o who_o do_v sing_v the_o hymn_n which_o himself_o have_v

yet_o at_o london_n their_o practise_n be_v constant_o to_o forget_v the_o lord_n prayer_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n the_o independent_o lay_v a_o pathway_n to_o anabaptism_n for_o first_o they_o come_v close_o up_o to_o the_o most_o rigid_a brownist_n deny_v baptism_n to_o the_o most_o part_n of_o christian_a infant_n yea_o they_o will_v grant_v it_o to_o a_o very_a few_o to_o these_o

three_o ground_n first_o they_o deny_v the_o federall_a holiness_n of_o christian_a child_n against_o this_o tho._n goodwin_n do_v preach_v and_o deny_v open_o that_o common_a distinction_n of_o

the_o certainty_n of_o faith_n wherewith_o we_o must_v assent_v to_o every_o scripture_n who_o can_v say_v that_o any_o particular_a infant_n be_v holy_a and_o so_o that_o any_o infant_n shall_v be_v

mr_n rathband_n understand_v right_o the_o 309_o p._n of_o rob._n justification_n kkkkk_n 2_o the_o arminian_n have_v win_v the_o field_n for_o no_o man_n doubt_v but_o many_o baptize_v infant_n even_o in_o their_o way_n do_v fall_v away_o total_o and_o final_o from_o whatsoever_o holiness_n can_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v in_o they_o if_o these_o inextricable_a difficulty_n do_v move_v mr_n goodwin_n to_o stop_v the_o press_n that_o it_o go_v not_o on_o with_o his_o sermon_n against_o the_o anabaptist_n covenant_n himself_o do_v know_v second_o they_o esteem_v not_o baptize_v infant_n to_o be_v member_n of_o their_o church_n before_o they_o have_v enter_v into_o their_o covenant_n till_o than_o they_o hold_v they_o from_o the_o lord_n table_n and_o all_o the_o act_n of_o

it_o to_o the_o time_n of_o their_o admission_n to_o be_v member_n sin_n three_o they_o account_v anabaptism_n a_o very_a tolerable_a error_n so_o far_o as_o ever_o we_o hear_v to_o this_o day_n they_o do_v never_o so_o much_o as_o rebuke_v any_o of_o their_o member_n for_o it_o much_o contrary_n to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o brownist_n and_o of_o their_o brethren_n in_o new_a england_n who_o ever_o have_v remove_v the_o anabaptist_n from_o their_o church_n as_o sectary_n of_o a_o special_a evil_a note_n we_o have_v long_o observe_v the_o great_a affection_n of_o independent_o here_o

anabaptist_n in_o the_o person_n who_o do_v communicate_v they_o be_v as_o strict_a as_o any_o of_o the_o brownist_n for_o notwithstanding_o all_o that_o their_o brethren_n of_o new_a england_n and_o
