A47755	A religious conference between a minister and parishioner: concerning the practice of our orthodox Church of England in baptizing infants, and pouring water on their faces, or sprinkling them; and in confirming them by the bishop when they come of age to give an account of their faith. Proving all three lawful by the authority of the Holy Scriptures.	Leslie, Charles, 1650-1722.	1696 (1696)	Wing L1145; ESTC R213965	23,437	34

remission_n of_o sin_n and_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n belong_v to_o the_o believe_a gentile_n and_o their_o child_n as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o jew_n and_o they_o and_o that_o they_o both_o and_o their_o child_n stand_v upon_o equal_a term_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n p._n but_o may_v not_o this_o promise_n be_v understand_v with_o reference_n to_o that_o curse_n the_o jew_n imprecate_v on_o their_o child_n head_n when_o they_o crucify_a christ_n his_o blood_n be_v on_o we_o and_o our_o child_n mat._n 27.25_o that_o they_o and_o their_o child_n shall_v be_v free_v from_o that_o curse_n in_o case_n they_o do_v live_v to_o repent_v and_o be_v baptize_v m._n no_o the_o text_n can_v be_v so_o interpret_v because_o if_o the_o curse_n be_v imprecate_v and_o fall_v on_o their_o child_n according_a to_o the_o jew_n imprecation_n why_o shall_v not_o this_o promise_n if_o it_o be_v a_o freedom_n from_o that_o curse_n exempt_v their_o child_n from_o it_o although_o they_o may_v not_o live_v actual_o to_o repent_v of_o it_o and_o since_o a_o great_a many_o of_o they_o in_o all_o probability_n do_v not_o live_v so_o long_o it_o be_v but_o poor_a comfort_n to_o tell_v the_o jew_n their_o child_n shall_v be_v pardon_v and_o save_v on_o condition_n they_o repent_v which_o be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o perform_v and_o for_o this_o reason_n and_o because_o it_o be_v make_v to_o the_o gentile_n too_o who_o be_v not_o charge_v by_o st._n peter_n to_o be_v guilty_a of_o christ_n blood_n as_o the_o jew_n be_v act_v 2.23_o this_o promise_n ver_fw-la 39_o can_v be_v particular_a to_o the_o jew_n for_o their_o sin_n of_o bloodguiltiness_n but_o must_v be_v general_a and_o extend_v to_o all_o they_o and_o the_o gentile_n actual_a sin_n and_o the_o original_a sin_n of_o both_o their_o child_n and_o if_o this_o promise_v belong_v to_o both_o their_o child_n there_o be_v no_o other_o ordinary_a mean_n for_o they_o to_o receive_v the_o benefit_n of_o it_o but_o by_o baptism_n p._n but_o do_v not_o the_o clause_n in_o the_o conclusion_n limit_v the_o promise_n to_o grow_v believer_n even_n as_o many_o as_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n shall_v call_v m._n no_o that_o be_v only_o another_o phrase_n to_o express_v the_o gentile_n by_o and_o a_o further_a explication_n of_o the_o former_a all_o that_o be_v afar_o off_o and_o the_o purport_n of_o both_o be_v that_o the_o promise_n be_v the_o same_o to_o the_o convert_a gentile_n as_o to_o the_o convert_a jew_n and_o since_o the_o child_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v express_v to_o have_v a_o right_n in_o this_o promise_n the_o child_n of_o the_o gentile_n must_v be_v imply_v to_o have_v the_o same_o right_n in_o it_o p._n have_v they_o not_o some_o other_o answer_n to_o these_o five_o text_n of_o scripture_n m._n yes_o but_o they_o be_v evasive_a one_o and_o i_o have_v consider_v they_o and_o reply_v to_o they_o in_o a_o set_a discourse_n of_o which_o this_o be_v but_o a_o abridgement_n p._n i_o shall_v be_v glad_a to_o see_v this_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n must_v observe_v that_o they_o will_v tell_v you_o all_o your_o five_o scripture_n proof_n come_v short_a of_o prove_v your_o point_n because_o none_o of_o they_o express_o require_v we_o to_o baptise_v our_o child_n m._n i_o think_v they_o will_v allow_v of_o a_o good_a consequence_n from_o these_o or_o any_o other_o text_n of_o scripture_n for_o infant_n baptism_n if_o they_o do_v not_o what_o have_v they_o to_o say_v for_o admit_v woman_n to_o the_o lord_n supper_n there_o be_v no_o express_a command_n for_o it_o p._n here_o i_o confess_v they_o be_v hard_o put_v to_o it_o and_o after_o all_o their_o turn_n and_o wind_n be_v not_o able_a to_o produce_v one_o such_o precept_n or_o so_o much_o as_o one_o example_n for_o this_o practice_n but_o be_v force_v to_o fly_v to_o deduction_n and_o consequenc_n to_o prove_v it_o m._n this_o show_v these_o man_n to_o be_v partial_a they_o can_v easy_o espy_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o woman_n receive_n the_o lord_n supper_n in_o scripture_n but_o they_o can_v or_o rather_o will_v not_o see_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o child_n receive_v baptism_n which_o be_v as_o visible_a there_o as_o the_o other_o p._n but_o they_o produce_v three_o or_o four_o passage_n out_o of_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o st._n paul_n epistle_n to_o prove_v that_o woman_n believe_v and_o be_v baptise_a and_o that_o they_o that_o be_v baptise_a assemble_v together_o and_o break_v bread_n m._n but_o how_o do_v they_o prove_v that_o this_o break_n of_o bread_n must_v be_v the_o lord_n supper_n and_o not_o the_o first_o christian_n ordinary_a meal_n since_o in_o the_o same_o chapter_n it_o be_v call_v a_o break_n of_o bread_n from_o house_n to_o house_n how_o do_v they_o likewise_o prove_v that_o those_o that_o be_v baptise_a and_o break_v bread_n must_v needs_o be_v all_o the_o believer_n that_o be_v then_o in_o the_o world_n and_o if_o all_o be_v not_o present_a as_o it_o be_v high_o improbable_a so_o many_o thousand_o shall_v receive_v the_o lord_n supper_n together_o in_o one_o house_n why_o may_v not_o those_o that_o be_v absent_a be_v the_o woman_n alas_o they_o can_v infer_v a_o right_n to_o the_o ordinance_n from_o what_o ground_n they_o please_v they_o must_v produce_v some_o plain_a command_n or_o example_n for_o woman_n communicate_v or_o they_o say_v nothing_o this_o be_v certain_a my_o former_a text_n of_o scripture_n as_o plain_o prove_v infant_n baptism_n as_o any_o text_n they_o can_v bring_v do_v that_o woman_n ought_v to_o receive_v the_o lord_n supper_n and_o i_o wish_v they_o will_v let_v the_o controversy_n rest_v here_o and_o i_o will_v undertake_v to_o prove_v as_o clear_o the_o one_o as_o they_o be_v able_a to_o do_v the_o other_o p._n but_o be_v you_o against_o woman_n receive_n the_o lord_n supper_n m._n no_o god_n forbid_v you_o know_v i_o have_v former_o preach_v the_o contrary_a and_o press_v and_o persuade_v woman_n as_o well_o as_o man_n to_o partake_v of_o that_o great_a ordinance_n and_o i_o be_o still_o and_o hope_n shall_v ever_o be_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n but_o i_o urge_v this_o to_o prove_v that_o we_o have_v not_o better_a ground_n from_o scripture_n to_o admit_v woman_n to_o the_o lord_n table_n than_o we_o have_v to_o admit_v believer_n child_n to_o baptism_n p._n i_o apprehend_v you_o sir_n that_o there_o be_v good_a ground_n from_o scripture_n for_o both_o but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o express_a command_n or_o example_n for_o the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n it_o must_v be_v unlawful_a for_o that_o nothing_o ought_v to_o be_v do_v in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n but_o what_o have_v one_o or_o the_o other_o to_o warrant_v it_o m._n but_o how_o do_v they_o prove_v this_o p._n they_o produce_v jer._n 7.31_o and_o they_o have_v build_v the_o high_a place_n of_o tophet_n which_o be_v in_o the_o valley_n of_o the_o son_n of_o hinnom_n to_o burn_v their_o son_n and_o their_o daughter_n in_o the_o fire_n which_o i_o command_v they_o not_o neither_o come_v it_o into_o my_o heart_n and_o several_a other_o place_n m._n but_o this_o and_o the_o like_a scripture_n mention_v such_o thing_n only_o as_o god_n have_v express_o forbid_v and_o the_o phrase_n i_o command_v they_o not_o import_v as_o much_o and_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o the_o prophet_n have_v say_v i_o forbid_v they_o to_o do_v this_o but_o what_o be_v the_o idolatry_n here_o speak_v of_o viz._n the_o jew_n sacrifice_v their_o son_n and_o their_o daughter_n to_o devil_n what_o be_v this_o to_o infant_n baptism_n which_o be_v a_o offer_v our_o son_n and_o our_o daughter_n to_o christ_n be_v the_o one_o as_o unlawful_a and_o great_a a_o wickedness_n as_o the_o other_o let_v they_o prove_v this_o and_o the_o controversy_n be_v at_o a_o end_n but_o let_v they_o not_o think_v to_o fetch_v their_o argument_n from_o the_o old-testament_n to_o overthrow_v a_o new-testament_n ordinance_n if_o they_o do_v to_o speak_v in_o their_o own_o language_n be_v not_o this_o a_o mere_a a_o trifle_a vanity_n and_o nought_o but_o a_o piece_n of_o foolery_n and_o deceit_n to_o darken_v counsel_n with_o word_n without_o knowledge_n job_n 38.2_o i_o think_v this_o to_o be_v a_o more_o true_a and_o safe_a rule_n than_o they_o that_o as_o nothing_o be_v our_o duty_n but_o what_o god_n have_v express_o or_o by_o good_a consequence_n command_v so_o nothing_o be_v a_o sin_n but_o what_o god_n have_v express_o or_o by_o good_a consequence_n forbid_v according_a to_o that_o plain_a passage_n in_o joh._n 3.4_o sin_n be_v the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n and_o st._n paul_n inference_n from_o it_o where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n there_o be_v no_o transgression_n
