A90658	A reply to a confutation of some grounds for infants baptisme: as also, concerning the form of a church, put forth against mee by one Thomas Lamb. Hereunto is added, a discourse of the verity and validity of infants baptisme, wherein I endeavour to clear it in it self: as also in the ministery administrating it, and the manner of administration, by sprinkling, and not dipping; with sundry other particulars handled herein. / By George Philips of Watertown in New England.	Phillips, George, 1593-1644.	1645 (1645)	Wing P2026; Thomason E287_4; ESTC R200088	141,673	168

which_o have_v oft_o already_o be_v gainsay_v by_o i_o god_n intention_n in_o enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o they_o be_v to_o have_v they_o all_o spiritual_a he_o constitute_v they_o not_o a_o

say_v a_o covenant_n act_v by_o believer_n among_o themselves_o to_o become_v one_o another_o to_o be_v the_o form_n of_o the_o church_n and_o here_o argue_v from_o the_o state_n of_o the_o jew_n to_o prove_v this_o form_n which_o do_v never_o form_v themselves_o so_o in_o so_o do_v i_o overthrow_v myself_o and_o argue_v from_o my_o proof_n to_o overthrow_v my_o principle_n reply_n first_o let_v all_o observe_v that_o he_o constant_o leave_v out_o a_o part_n of_o my_o word_n and_o that_o of_o great_a weight_n viz._n a_o covenant_n act_v between_o god_n and_o themselves_o though_o i_o add_v these_o word_n also_o second_o i_o say_v the_o jew_n be_v form_v a_o church_n estate_n and_o only_o by_o such_o a_o covenant_n and_o this_o will_v be_v evident_a by_o clear_v those_o four_o particular_n i_o bring_v to_o prove_v that_o part_n of_o my_o argument_n the_o first_o be_v this_o the_o entrance_n into_o it_o with_o abraham_n his_o family_n and_o seed_n be_v by_o a_o covenant_n act_v visible_o and_o outward_o this_o be_v that_o which_o distinguish_v they_o and_o make_v they_o differ_v from_o other_o people_n and_o whereby_o they_o become_v the_o lord_n and_o the_o lord_n they_o this_o be_v a_o visible_a and_o outward_a covenant_n because_o the_o seal_n of_o it_o be_v outward_a and_o visible_a and_o ishmael_n and_o esau_n be_v in_o it_o and_o reprobate_n as_o well_o as_o elect_v and_o this_o covenant_n be_v make_v with_o abraham_n and_o his_o family_n at_o least_o 14_o year_n before_o they_o be_v circumcise_v gen._n 17._o that_o be_v but_o the_o renewall_n of_o the_o covenant_n make_v before_o only_o let_v this_o be_v note_v that_o abraham_n and_o his_o family_n be_v all_o this_o time_n in_o covenant_n and_o a_o call_v people_n and_o so_o a_o church_n visible_o form_v for_o no_o man_n can_v think_v that_o he_o &_o he_o be_v all_o that_o time_n under_o that_o covenant_n without_o a_o form_n a_o foederall_a form_n they_o have_v certain_o that_o be_v a_o church_n form_n and_o circumcision_n do_v not_o put_v the_o foederall_a form_n upon_o they_o but_o be_v add_v for_o confirmation_n on_o both_o part_n yet_o his_o answer_n be_v that_o this_o prove_v not_o the_o form_n of_o the_o church_n to_o be_v such_o a_o covenant_n as_o be_v by_o i_o express_v act_v by_o a_o company_n of_o believer_n to_o become_v one_o another_o for_o abraham_n and_o his_o feed_n reprobate_n and_o elect_v enter_v into_o it_o now_o abraham_n be_v but_o one_o believer_n ishmael_n his_o seed_n who_o enter_v in_o with_o he_o be_v a_o reprobate_a reply_n first_o it_o be_v a_o covenant_n act_v between_o god_n and_o abraham_n and_o his_o family_n because_o they_o be_v sign_v and_o seal_v to_o the_o covenant_n fourteen_o year_n after_o second_o though_o reprobate_n and_o elect_a be_v in_o the_o covenant_n yet_o that_o do_v not_o disprove_v a_o covenant_n act_v by_o believer_n to_o be_v the_o form_n of_o a_o church_n see_v many_o reprobate_n do_v believe_v for_o a_o time_n i_o do_v not_o mean_v they_o be_v know_v to_o be_v so_o but_o many_o prove_v so_o afterward_o and_o himself_o do_v confess_v that_o they_o have_v not_o infallible_a judgement_n but_o may_v be_v and_o many_o time_n be_v deceive_v and_o if_o he_o shall_v not_o confess_v yet_o the_o scripture_n clear_v it_o in_o simon_n magus_n case_n judas_z etc._n etc._n three_o though_o abraham_n be_v but_o one_o believer_n and_o ishmael_n a_o reprobate_a yet_o they_o may_v join_v together_o in_o covenant_n because_o at_o first_o ishmael_n be_v but_o a_o infant_n and_o not_o present_o know_v to_o be_v a_o reprobate_n and_o more_o than_o ishmael_n enter_v into_o the_o first_o covenant_n as_o sarah_n his_o wife_n and_o above_o three_o hundred_o male_n who_o therefore_o have_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n set_v upon_o they_o which_o can_v not_o have_v be_v if_o they_o have_v not_o be_v in_o covenant_n where_o i_o say_v circumcision_n be_v not_o the_o covenant_n but_o the_o token_n of_o it_o gen._n 17.11_o he_o answer_v it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o token_n of_o it_o but_o a_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n itself_o be_v that_o whereby_o the_o party_n be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n gal._n 5.3_o and_o therefore_o god_n say_v let_v every_o man_n child_n be_v circumcise_v and_o he_o that_o be_v not_o brake_n god_n covenant_n therefore_o the_o covenant_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v such_o as_o be_v enter_v into_o by_o circumcision_n but_o not_o such_o as_o be_v act_v by_o believer_n and_o so_o to_o be_v the_o form_n of_o the_o church_n reply_n i_o deny_v circumcision_n to_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n as_o without_o which_o the_o covenant_n be_v not_o entire_a and_o a_o real_a formal_a covenant_n else_o abraham_n sarah_n and_o his_o family_n be_v not_o in_o the_o covenant_n all_o these_o fourteen_o year_n before_o circumcision_n he_o grant_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o i_o will_v grant_v he_o that_o as_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o thing_n may_v be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o thing_n signify_v so_o may_v circumcision_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o no_o otherwise_o and_o as_o a_o seal_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o thing_n seal_v and_o not_o else_o and_o though_o it_o be_v call_v covenant_n oftentimes_o yet_o it_o be_v by_o impropriety_n of_o speech_n as_o in_o the_o lord_n supper_n bread_n and_o wine_n be_v call_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o baptism_n regeneration_n because_o they_o signify_v and_o seal_v those_o thing_n to_o faith_n which_o be_v signify_v by_o they_o where_o he_o say_v the_o party_n be_v bind_v thereby_o to_o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n gal._n 5.3_o it_o be_v a_o gross_a mistake_n for_o it_o do_v seal_v to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n and_o not_o to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n nor_o bind_v they_o more_o nor_o otherwise_o to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n than_o baptism_n do_v we_o now_o it_o be_v true_a the_o apostle_n say_v as_o much_o but_z first_o he_o speak_v it_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o time_n then_o and_o after_o not_o with_o respect_n to_o time_n before_o second_o he_o speak_v it_o in_o a_o certain_a sense_n that_o be_v when_o man_n make_v it_o a_o ingredient_n unto_o justification_n they_o that_o do_v so_o renounce_v justification_n by_o christ_n alone_o and_o seek_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o their_o own_o righteousness_n and_o so_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o fulfil_v the_o whole_a law_n or_o never_o to_o be_v justify_v how_o else_o can_v paul_n circumcise_v timothy_n act._n 16._o will_v he_o do_v that_o than_o which_o he_o condemn_v here_o or_o do_v it_o oblige_v other_o otherwise_o then_o it_o do_v timothy_n or_o david_n isaiah_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v god_n ordinance_n and_o institution_n it_o bind_v they_o to_o no_o such_o thing_n but_o that_o arise_v from_o their_o corrupt_a understanding_n of_o the_o thing_n turn_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n into_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n unto_o themselves_o and_o the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o baptism_n now_o let_v this_o therefore_o be_v attend_v that_o god_n do_v never_o dispense_v a_o covenant_n of_o work_n to_o the_o jew_n but_o it_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o circumcision_n the_o sign_n and_o seal_n of_o it_o and_o not_o the_o covenant_n itself_o and_o the_o covenant_n be_v act_v between_o god_n and_o abraham_n and_o his_o family_n and_o seed_n believer_n they_o and_o they_o to_o be_v the_o lord_n and_o to_o take_v god_n to_o be_v the_o god_n of_o they_o and_o they_o and_o so_o to_o become_v one_o another_o in_o the_o lord_n whereby_o they_o be_v make_v the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o a_o visible_a church_n true_o constitute_v my_o second_o particular_a be_v this_o the_o establishment_n of_o it_o in_o the_o plain_n of_o moab_n but_o this_o establishment_n be_v by_o a_o covenant_n act_v deut._n 26.17_o 18._o and_o 29.10_o 15._o in_o which_o god_n avouch_v they_o to_o be_v his_o people_n and_o they_o avouch_v he_o to_o be_v their_o god_n and_o their_o young_a child_n also_o with_o they_o nor_o can_v circumcision_n be_v the_o covenant_n here_o nor_o part_n of_o it_o or_o ingredient_n into_o it_o because_o

thing_n succeed_v one_o another_o many_o way_n and_o there_o be_v not_o the_o same_o consideration_n of_o all_o thing_n that_o succeed_v one_o another_o the_o sense_n that_o i_o intend_v it_o in_o be_v this_o that_o baptism_n succeed_v circumcision_n by_o god_n institution_n as_o a_o sign_n of_o god_n covenant_n and_o a_o seal_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n hold_v forth_o in_o the_o covenant_n and_o if_o baptism_n succeed_v circumcision_n in_o this_o sense_n as_o it_o do_v then_o necessary_o follow_v that_o look_v who_o be_v subject_n of_o the_o covenant_n then_o and_o receive_v the_o seal_n of_o it_o under_o those_o figne_v administer_v the_o same_o subject_n be_v now_o in_o the_o covenant_n and_o be_v to_o receive_v the_o seal_n of_o it_o under_o these_o sign_n administer_v unless_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o god_n by_o some_o manifest_a word_n have_v exclude_v infant_n now_o the_o consequence_n can_v be_v deny_v and_o the_o argument_n full_o conclude_v second_o the_o instance_n that_o he_o bring_v to_o show_v the_o inconsequence_n of_o this_o by_o the_o inconsequence_n of_o they_o be_v not_o parallel_v and_o subject_a to_o exception_n that_o this_o will_v not_o admit_v of_o as_o first_o the_o gospel_n succeed_v the_o law_n therefore_o aaron_n son_n be_v to_o be_v minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o they_o be_v then_o of_o the_o law_n reply_n this_o comparison_n suit_v not_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n succeed_v one_o another_o not_o as_o circumcision_n and_o baptism_n nor_o will_v it_o follow_v because_o baptism_n succeed_v circumcision_n therefore_o infant_n be_v to_o be_v baptize_v as_o they_o be_v circumcise_v so_o the_o gospel_n succeed_v the_o law_n ergo_fw-la aaron_n son_n be_v to_o succeed_v themselves_o under_o the_o gospel_n for_o i_o do_v not_o say_v cirumcision_n succeed_v circumcision_n but_o thus_o it_o will_v follow_v as_o then_o there_o be_v sacrifice_n and_o service_n and_o none_o but_o aaron_n son_n may_v not_o administer_v so_o now_o no_o man_n must_v administer_v these_o service_n appoint_v but_o such_o as_o be_v call_v as_o aaron_n be_v his_o second_o that_o circumcision_n be_v administer_v to_o grow_v male_n that_o have_v no_o faith_n be_v false_a as_o i_o have_v show_v before_o more_o than_o once_o nor_o be_v female_n exclude_v then_o from_o circumcision_n no_o more_o than_o they_o be_v exclude_v from_o the_o covenant_n but_o shall_v have_v be_v circumcise_v if_o they_o have_v be_v capable_a as_o the_o male_n that_o female_n have_v the_o inward_a circumcision_n can_v be_v deny_v and_o whether_o they_o have_v not_o something_o analogical_a to_o the_o outward_a may_v be_v question_v although_o it_o be_v not_o express_v last_o of_o all_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o lord_n supper_n succeed_v the_o passeover_n but_o that_o all_o infant_n do_v eat_v the_o passeover_n with_o the_o rest_n will_v be_v deny_v many_o be_v not_o natural_o capable_a by_o reason_n of_o age_n and_o none_o but_o such_o as_o be_v able_a to_o understand_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o ordinance_n may_v partake_v of_o it_o as_o now_o none_o but_o such_o inay_n partake_v in_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v require_v to_o instruct_v their_o child_n in_o the_o nature_n and_o use_n of_o the_o ordinance_n and_o although_o every_o family_n be_v to_o eat_v a_o lamb_n together_o in_o a_o house_n yet_o after_o they_o be_v settle_v in_o the_o land_n they_o be_v to_o eat_v it_o at_o jerusalem_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v kill_v at_o the_o tabernacle_n first_o deut._n 16.6_o 7._o nor_o be_v every_o family_n bind_v to_o eat_v it_o alone_o if_o they_o be_v too_o many_o or_o too_o few_o they_o be_v to_o have_v so_o many_o and_o no_o more_o nor_o may_v any_o uncircumcised_a or_o unclean_a or_o apostate_n eat_v thereof_o and_o female_n might_n although_o not_o circumcise_v for_o there_o be_v many_o objection_n to_o be_v make_v against_o these_o instance_n that_o can_v lie_v against_o the_o consequence_n of_o my_o proposition_n a_o second_o answer_n he_o give_v be_v this_o the_o body_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v subject_n of_o circumcision_n according_a to_o the_o law_n even_o when_o christ_n die_v yet_o the_o same_o be_v not_o subject_n of_o baptism_n according_a to_o the_o gospel_n till_o they_o glad_o receive_v the_o word_n act_v 2.4_o reply_n first_o they_o be_v not_o circumcise_v before_o but_o as_o they_o glad_o receive_v the_o word_n and_o thereupon_o circumcise_v and_o their_o infant_n with_o they_o by_o virtue_n of_o god_n promise_n second_o it_o be_v true_a no_o jew_n of_o year_n be_v baptize_v till_o they_o receive_v the_o word_n but_o that_o be_v not_o because_o any_o may_v be_v circumcise_v before_o without_o receive_v the_o word_n but_o because_o of_o the_o change_n of_o the_o manner_n of_o adminstration_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o word_n in_o a_o different_a manner_n as_o the_o parent_n receive_v the_o word_n under_o that_o dispensation_n they_o be_v circumcise_v and_o their_o infant_n with_o they_o so_o now_o parent_n receive_v the_o word_n be_v to_o be_v baptize_v and_o their_o infant_n with_o they_o his_o three_o answer_n be_v this_o as_o baptism_n succeed_v circumcision_n so_o the_o command_n and_o subject_n of_o baptism_n succeed_v the_o subject_n and_o command_v of_o circumcision_n the_o command_n of_o circumcision_n be_v of_o male_n only_o and_o that_o on_o the_o eight_o day_n the_o proseylte_n must_v circumcise_v all_o his_o male_n although_o they_o have_v no_o faith_n the_o female_n must_v not_o be_v circumcise_v although_o they_o have_v never_o so_o much_o faith_n but_o the_o commandment_n of_o baptism_n be_v only_o of_o disciple_n man_n and_o woman_n a_o description_n of_o who_o you_o may_v see_v luke_n 14.26.27.33_o therefore_o the_o consequence_n follow_v not_o reply_n first_o it_o be_v the_o command_n of_o god_n that_o sanctifi_v circumcision_n and_o baptism_n in_o their_o several_a time_n to_o be_v administer_v second_o god_n command_n must_v sanctify_v the_o subject_n to_o who_o they_o be_v to_o be_v administer_v and_o therefore_o to_o circumcise_v any_o then_o or_o baptize_v any_o now_o but_o such_o as_o god_n command_v be_v a_o sinful_a error_n three_o it_o be_v not_o the_o command_n of_o circumcise_n why_o we_o baptize_v any_o but_o a_o command_n of_o baptise_v they_o why_o they_o be_v baptize_v and_o therefore_o the_o commandment_n of_o baptise_v being_n not_o to_o baptize_v at_o any_o set_a time_n we_o do_v not_o baptize_v any_o on_o the_o eight_o day_n as_o they_o circumcise_a we_o likewise_o baptize_v female_n the_o command_n include_v they_o though_o they_o be_v not_o circumcise_v be_v not_o capable_a of_o it_o as_o i_o say_v four_o then_o the_o case_n be_v this_o whether_o god_n command_v be_v to_o baptize_v infant_n now_o as_o it_o be_v to_o circcumise_v infant_n then_o this_o he_o deny_v upon_o this_o ground_n circumcision_n be_v not_o
