A41334	A sober reply to the sober answer of Reverend Mr. Cawdrey, to A serious question propounded viz. whether the ministers of England are bound by the word of God to baptise the children of all such parents, which say they believe in Jesus Christ, but are grosly ignorant, scandalous in their conversations, scoffers at godliness, and refuse to submit to church dicipline ... : also, the question of Reverend Mr. Hooker concerning the baptisme of infants : with a post-script to Reverend Mr. Blake / by G.I.

church_n why_o do_v you_o not_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o word_n almost_o which_o imply_v there_o may_v be_v some_o government_n without_o it_o but_o it_o will_v not_o go_v on_o so_o strong_o nor_o

reader_n to_o observe_v in_o it_o 1._o by_o person_n non-confederate_a he_o do_v not_o mean_a godly_a parent_n that_o be_v not_o confederate_a explicit_o but_o if_o they_o be_v member_n of_o true_a church_n walk_v in_o church_n fellowship_n though_o there_o be_v not_o a_o explicit_a covenant_n but_o implicit_a mr._n hooker_n do_v not_o look_v on_o these_o as_o fall_v under_o his_o question_n so_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o such_o now_o this_o be_v most_o clear_a by_o what_o i_o have_v allege_v out_o of_o he_o hence_o there_o be_v not_o one_o syllable_n of_o the_o word_n explicit_a put_v into_o the_o question_n and_o afterward_o the_o same_o page_n when_o mr._n hooker_n show_v why_o he_o incline_v to_o the_o negative_a be_v move_v thereto_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o church-govenant_a he_o do_v not_o say_v explicit_a church-covenant_n yet_o see_v how_o mr._n cawdrey_n interpret_v these_o word_n that_o be_v 185._o diatr_n 185._o indeed_o the_o necessity_n of_o a_o explicit_a covenant_n and_o in_o page_n 184._o he_o have_v state_v the_o question_n thus_o whether_o the_o infant_n of_o believer_n not_o in_o covenant_n explicit_a with_o a_o particular_a visible_a church_n may_v be_v baptize_v this_o be_v none_o of_o master_n hooker_n question_n hence_o first_o those_o argument_n which_o mr._n cawdrey_n have_v draw_v up_o in_o his_o diatr_n with_o mr._n hooker_n from_o the_o infant_n of_o the_o godly_a member_n of_o our_o church_n here_o in_o england_n they_o all_o labour_n with_o the_o disease_n call_v ignoratio_fw-la elenthi_n for_o he_o have_v change_v the_o question_n and_o do_v not_o speak_v ad_fw-la idem_fw-la 2._o hence_o second_o all_o that_o pain_n mr._n cawdrey_n spend_v to_o prove_v that_o child_n may_v be_v baptize_v by_o virtue_n of_o grandfather_n or_o adoption_n if_o he_o can_v make_v it_o out_o that_o they_o may_v be_v so_o yet_o if_o such_o a_o grandfather_n or_o person_n who_o adopt_v be_v confederate_a and_o walk_v in_o church-fellowship_n though_o not_o explicit_o confederated_a this_o do_v not_o trouble_v mr._n hooker_n question_n if_o that_o grandfather_n or_o person_n who_o adopt_v be_v not_o confederate_a than_o the_o question_n fall_v upon_o they_o indeed_o not_o else_o mr._n hooker_n question_v then_o concern_v only_o such_o godly_a parent_n as_o be_v member_n of_o no_o particular_a visible_a church_n and_o be_v no_o member_n but_o come_v to_o join_v with_o a_o church_n now_o the_o question_n will_v be_v what_o explicitenesse_n may_v be_v require_v 2._o the_o second_o thing_n i_o observe_v in_o his_o question_n be_v that_o the_o godly_a parent_n be_v unwilling_a to_o come_v into_o church-followship_a and_o here_o lie_v the_o pinch_n of_o the_o question_n but_o this_o plain_o imply_v that_o church_n fellowship_n be_v to_o be_v have_v and_o this_o person_n be_v require_v by_o he_o to_o who_o be_v offer_v his_o child_n to_o be_v baptize_v to_o join_v in_o church_n fellowship_n baptise_v

first_o be_v fall_v yet_o for_o you_o have_v yield_v the_o argument_n i_o pray_v what_o be_v the_o question_n i_o must_v set_v it_o down_o because_o of_o these_o two_o answer_n you_o give_v to_o my_o
