A76088	The storming of the Anabaptists garrisons, vvith a brief discovery of the weaknesse of the same, & of the inconsiderableness of the sconces and forts of all the other sectaries, in despight and contempt of all the which, any Christian souldier may safely march to Heaven, without the least danger; ... In a word, in the insuing discourse, the vanity of all novell opinions is discovered, the ignorance of all the which can no way hinder any mans happinesse: and the baptisme of little children borne of Christian parents, whether Iewes or Gentiles, is proved by the word of God to be lawfull, ... / By Iohn Bastwick, Doctor in Physick.

their_o practice_n as_o in_o many_o other_o they_o be_v like_o the_o papist_n and_o jesuit_n who_o as_o the_o world_n know_v hinder_v the_o spread_a of_o all_o orthodox_n book_n among_o the_o people_n

tell_v they_o that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o misspend_v of_o their_o precious_a time_n but_o a_o animate_v of_o heretic_n yea_o a_o very_a great_a sin_n and_o a_o tempt_a god_n and_o by_o such_o

and_o therefore_o for_o my_o part_n when_o i_o behold_v the_o practice_n and_o deal_n of_o all_o the_o sectary_n compare_v they_o with_o those_o of_o the_o jesuit_n and_o papist_n i_o can_v discern_v

and_o therefore_o i_o may_v without_o any_o danger_n from_o the_o commission_n give_v unto_o john_n the_o baptist_n and_o christ_n disciple_n thus_o argue_v for_o proof_n of_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o child_n in_o baptism_n first_o beginning_n with_o john_n the_o baptist_n commission_n he_o that_o by_o his_o commission_n from_o god_n baptize_v in_o jerusalem_n and_o all_o indea_n and_o all_o the_o

illustration_n of_o this_o truth_n i_o will_v add_v a_o few_o word_n more_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o that_o because_o a_o great_a anabaptist_n not_o long_o since_o pretend_v that_o this_o be_v but_o a_o supposition_n or_o at_o least_o a_o argument_n by_o consequence_n that_o child_n be_v then_o baptise_a which_v if_o it_o be_v it_o be_v then_o but_o a_o argument_n by_o consequence_n likewise_o for_o the_o baptism_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n as_o well_o as_o of_o child_n for_o there_o be_v not_o any_o mention_n make_v of_o any_o man_n by_o name_n christ_n only_a except_v or_o of_o any_o

so_o full_a in_o this_o business_n that_o all_o the_o people_n that_o hear_v he_o the_o abovementioned_a only_o exempt_v be_v baptize_v that_o woman_n and_o child_n be_v as_o well_o baptize_v as_o

the_o word_n of_o god_n hold_v out_o unto_o we_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o believe_v neither_o will_v that_o evasion_n help_v the_o anabaptist_n when_o they_o say_v that_o it_o be_v call_v the_o

those_o expression_n do_v no_o more_o exclude_v child_n of_o christian_a parent_n from_o baptism_n than_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o prophet_n when_o they_o say_v let_v the_o wicked_a forsake_v his_o

it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o their_o child_n be_v exclude_v from_o baptism_n for_o they_o be_v as_o well_o in_o covenant_n with_o god_n as_o their_o parent_n and_o as_o well_o his_o child_n as_o

the_o prophet_n and_o people_n of_o god_n under_o the_o law_n in_o their_o public_a confession_n as_o well_o include_v all_o the_o people_n both_o man_n woman_n and_o child_n as_o themselves_o and_o

each_o of_o themselves_o a_o public_a confession_n of_o their_o faith_n before_o their_o admittance_n into_o the_o church_n for_o the_o scripture_n be_v clear_a for_o the_o contrary_a both_o in_o the_o three_o of_o luke_n and_o in_o the_o second_o of_o the_o act_n where_o it_o be_v relate_v that_o they_o only_o come_v to_o john_n and_o ask_v he_o what_o they_o shall_v do_v and_o in_o the_o

much_o time_n to_o both_o minister_n and_o people_n but_o i_o conceive_v under_o reformation_n that_o those_o expression_n be_v set_v down_o by_o the_o penman_n of_o holy_a writ_n to_o show_v the_o

covenant_n and_o that_o they_o have_v need_n of_o wash_v and_o purify_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o messiah_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v daily_o repent_v and_o die_v unto_o sin_n and_o rise_v to_o newness_n of_o life_n i_o say_v in_o this_o regard_n by_o the_o acceptance_n and_o embrace_v of_o this_o ceremony_n they_o declare_v and_o acknowledge_v that_o they_o be_v by_o nature_n sinful_a and_o
