A65671	Infant baptism plainly proved a discourse wherein certain select arguments for infant baptism, formerly syllogyistically handled, are now reviewed, abbreviated, and reduced to a plain method, for the benefit of the unlearned, and persons of weaker capacity / by Joseph Whiston ; with a large epistle to the pious and learned among the anti-pædobaptists, especially the authors of the late confession of their faith.	Whiston, Joseph, d. 1690.	1678 (1678)	Wing W1694; ESTC R1322	72,861	137

hence_o he_o exhort_v those_o awaken_v jew_n to_o be_v baptize_v upon_o this_o ground_n or_o for_o this_o reason_n that_o the_o promise_n do_v belong_v unto_o they_o act_v 2.39_o say_v he_o be_v

to_o their_o interest_n in_o the_o promise_n but_o it_o be_v their_o interest_n in_o the_o promise_n that_o he_o ground_n his_o exhortation_n to_o they_o to_o be_v baptize_v upon_o hence_o however_o person_n come_v to_o have_v a_o interest_n in_o the_o promise_n whether_o it_o be_v by_o their_o descent_n from_o covenant-parent_n or_o by_o their_o own_o personal_a faith_n and_o repentance_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o to_o our_o present_a purpose_n it_o be_v their_o interest_n in_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v the_o proper_a ground_n and_o that_o alone_o be_v a_o sufficient_a ground_n for_o the_o application_n of_o baptism_n be_v baptize_v for_o the_o promise_n be_v to_o you_o not_o be_v baptize_v because_o you_o have_v repent_v but_o because_o the_o promise_n be_v to_o you_o and_o this_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o first_o command_n to_o keep_v the_o covenant_n that_o be_v the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n the_o command_n be_v ground_v upon_o interest_n in_o the_o promise_n gen._n 17.9_o thou_o shall_v keep_v my_o covenant_n therefore_o that_o be_v upon_o this_o ground_n because_o the_o promise_n be_v unto_o thou_o and_o have_v the_o promise_n thou_o shall_v upon_o thy_o interest_n therein_o keep_v my_o covenant_n so_o that_o interest_n in_o the_o promise_n be_v a_o sufficient_a ground_n for_o the_o application_n of_o baptism_n and_o infant_n have_v a_o interest_n in_o the_o promise_n they_o have_v a_o sufficient_a ground_n for_o the_o application_n of_o baptism_n to_o they_o and_o answerable_o may_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v baptize_v and_o that_o which_o may_v yet_o further_o assure_v we_o that_o it_o be_v interest_n in_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v the_o alone_a ground_n and_o that_o that_o be_v a_o sufficient_a ground_n for_o the_o application_n of_o baptism_n be_v the_o reference_n that_o baptism_n have_v to_o the_o promise_n it_o have_v no_o necessary_a reference_n to_o repentance_n nor_o repentance_n any_o necessary_a reference_n unto_o it_o and_o hence_o baptism_n may_v be_v apply_v where_o repentance_n go_v not_o before_o as_o be_v evident_a in_o the_o case_n of_o john_n baptist_n and_o our_o lord_n christ_n himself_o it_o be_v the_o

that_o the_o seed_n of_o believer_n as_o be_v under_o the_o promise_v of_o the_o covenant_n may_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v baptize_v let_v the_o several_a instance_n of_o household_n be_v baptize_v
