A93867	A precept for the baptisme of infants out of the New Testament. Where the matter is first proved from three severall scriptures, that there is such a word of command. Secondly it is vindicated, as from the exceptions of the separation, so in special from the cavils of Mr. Robert Everard in a late treatise of his intituled Baby-Baptisme routed. / By Nathaniel Stephens minister of the Gospel and Fennie-Drayton in Leicester-Shire.	Stephens, Nathaniel, 1606?-1678.	1651 (1651)	Wing S5451; Thomason E623_9; ESTC R206373	68,618	79

first_o this_o promise_n alone_o can_v not_o comfort_v peter_n hearer_n in_o their_o trouble_n second_o it_o can_v not_o answer_v the_o word_n of_o command_n be_v baptize_v every_o one_o of_o you_o

still_o continue_v to_o they_o and_o to_o their_o natural_a seed_n aswell_o as_o in_o the_o former_a dispensation_n this_o be_v his_o meaning_n when_o he_o say_v for_o the_o promise_n be_v to_o you_o and_o your_o child_n and_o in_o relation_n to_o this_o promise_n do_v he_o exhort_v they_o to_o be_v baptize_v father_n and_o child_n thus_o far_o i_o go_v in_o the_o vindication_n of_o both_o

i_o have_v take_v it_o into_o consideration_n and_o so_o far_o as_o i_o apprenend_v it_o may_v be_v convenient_o divide_v into_o three_o part_n first_o you_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v that_o my_o argument_n have_v no_o ground_n from_o the_o word_n of_o peter_n second_o you_o will_v bear_v i_o in_o hand_n that_o the_o structure_n of_o it_o be_v not_o good_a and_o that_o the_o premise_n do_v not_o hold_v due_a proportion_n with_o the_o conclusion_n three_o you_o do_v lay_v down_o term_n of_o consent_n how_o far_o we_o agree_v and_o term_n of_o dissent_n how_o far_o we_o disagree_v and_o so_o state_n the_o question_n in_o the_o close_a of_o all_o sir_n this_o be_v a_o strange_a kind_n of_o method_n that_o have_v be_v in_o part_n the_o cause_n of_o your_o wild_a discourse_n yet_o nevertheless_o as_o the_o course_n of_o the_o matter_n do_v require_v i_o will_v only_o take_v the_o liberty_n to_o lay_v down_o the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n as_o you_o yourself_o do_v express_v

though_o much_o have_v be_v write_v and_o say_v to_o find_v out_o this_o or_o that_o interpretation_n yet_o for_o my_o part_n i_o can_v possible_o find_v out_o a_o sense_n how_o the_o child_n of_o the_o corinthian_n as_o bear_v of_o one_o or_o two_o believe_a parent_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v holy_a if_o this_o be_v not_o mean_v of_o covenant_n holiness_n in_o the_o two_o former_a dispensation_n for_o four_o thousand_o year_n together_o the_o child_n of_o believer_n be_v account_v the_o son_n of_o god_n gen._n 6.2_o 3._o the_o holy_a seed_n ezra_n 9.2_o the_o holy_a people_n dan._n 8.24_o the_o child_n of_o the_o kingdom_n matth._n 8.11_o the_o child_n of_o the_o covenant_n act._n 3.25_o and_o such_o like_a expression_n therefore_o when_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o child_n of_o the_o believe_a corinthian_n that_o because_o one_o or_o both_o parent_n do_v believe_v and_o profess_v therefore_o the_o child_n be_v holy_a i_o can_v understand_v this_o any_o other_o way_n but_o of_o the_o birth-priviledge_n of_o believer_n child_n now_o in_o the_o last_o aswell_o as_o in_o the_o two_o former_a edition_n of_o the_o promise_n therefore_o when_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o text_n that_o many_o of_o the_o corinthian_n believe_v be_v baptize_v i_o can_v see_v how_o the_o word_n can_v bear_v any_o other_o sense_n but_o this_o many_o of_o the_o corinthian_n believe_v be_v baptize_v they_o and_o their_o household_n as_o crispus_n the_o chief_a ruler_n of_o the_o synagogue_n believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v he_o and_o his_o household_n the_o analogue_n do_v stand_v between_o crispus_n and_o other_o believer_n between_o the_o household_n of_o crispus_n and_o the_o household_n of_o other_o believer_n and_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o text._n i_o have_v stay_v the_o long_a upon_o this_o point_n to_o show_v that_o we_o have_v not_o only_o a_o precept_n but_o a_o competent_a number_n of_o example_n out_o of_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o the_o baptism_n of_o believer_n and_o their_o child_n but_o now_o sir_n lest_o you_o shall_v take_v occasion_n to_o cavil_n at_o example_n aswell_o as_o at_o the_o precept_n i_o will_v insist_v upon_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o verse_n and_o urge_v you_o only_o with_o this_o question_n whether_o do_v you_o think_v that_o crispus_n believe_v on_o the_o lord_n with_o all_o his_o house_n be_v baptize_v with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o corinthian_n yea_o or_o no_o if_o you_o deny_v it_o how_o will_v you_o prove_v constant_a to_o your_o own_o principle_n of_o believer_n baptism_n why_o shall_v not_o crispus_n a_o prime_a believer_n be_v baptize_v aswell_o as_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o corinthian_n that_o do_v believe_v through_o grace_n but_o if_o you_o affirm_v it_o as_o affirm_v it_o you_o must_v than_o it_o be_v necessary_a see_v his_o baptism_n be_v not_o express_v in_o so_o many_o letter_n that_o you_o supply_v the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o verse_n with_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n that_o follow_v after_o now_o let_v i_o do_v the_o like_a with_o peter_n word_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v a_o excellent_a harmony_n then_o peter_n say_v repent_v and_o be_v baptize_v every_o one_o of_o you_o and_o your_o child_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n for_o the_o promise_n belong_v to_o you_o and_o your_o child_n so_o i_o believe_v the_o word_n of_o peter_n and_o desight_n to_o hear_v their_o sweet_a agreement_n i_o do_v delight_n to_o read_v the_o child_n in_o the_o word_n of_o

concern_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n and_o concern_v the_o meaning_n of_o revel_n 21.8_o which_o show_v you_o to_o be_v very_o rude_a and_o unexpert_a in_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o

not_o be_v deceive_v the_o word_n fearful_a must_v be_v expound_v according_a to_o the_o analogy_n of_o the_o whole_a prophecy_n which_o be_v concern_v the_o suffering_n of_o the_o saint_n under_o

do_v you_o apply_v it_o to_o they_o that_o be_v under_o the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n through_o fear_n of_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n but_o in_o this_o case_n you_o do_v no_o better_o with_o this_o scripture_n than_o many_o other_o do_v with_o the_o reign_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o earth_n they_o take_v it_o that_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o kingdom_n do_v lie_v in_o pluck_v down_o of_o magistracy_n and_o ministry_n and_o lay_v all_o thing_n level_v whereas_o if_o they_o do_v right_o understand_v the_o scripture_n and_o the_o scope_n of_o the_o prophecy_n they_o will_v find_v that_o the_o lord_n christ_n do_v begin_v to_o reign_v when_o a_o godly_a magistracy_n be_v set_v up_o in_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o a_o powerful_a ministry_n assign_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n by_o

believe_v it_o from_o this_o double_a ground_n first_o from_o the_o tender_a of_o the_o promise_n the_o promise_n be_v not_o only_o offer_v to_o they_o as_o it_o be_v reveal_v to_o abraham_n and_o believe_v in_o all_o the_o time_n of_o the_o jewish_a church_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o promise_v messiah_n shall_v come_v but_o the_o promise_n tender_v to_o they_o be_v remission_n of_o sin_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o particular_a jesus_n already_o come_v who_o they_o have_v crucify_v and_o slay_v second_o i_o take_v they_o to_o be_v believer_n from_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o promise_n for_o as_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v tender_v to_o they_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o particular_a christ_n so_o when_o they_o on_o their_o part_n do_v receive_v the_o promise_n so_o exhibit_v they_o be_v believer_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n i_o say_v the_o word_n of_o command_n be_v that_o they_o and_o the_o child_n under_o their_o education_n shall_v be_v baptize_v four_o pag._n 9_o lin_v 32._o you_o come_v to_o the_o main_a point_n to_o wit_n that_o a_o right_n to_o the_o promise_n do_v not_o infer_v and_o bring_v in_o a_o right_a to_o baptism_n you_o argue_v thus_o if_o peter_n have_v a_o commission_n so_o large_a to_o baptize_v all_o to_o who_o the_o promise_n do_v belong_v than_o he_o must_v have_v baptize_v the_o whole_a nation_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o particular_o the_o person_n to_o who_o he_o speak_v before_o the_o word_n come_v unto_o they_o or_o before_o their_o conscience_n be_v awaken_v by_o the_o word_n here_o sir_n i_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o you_o speak_v punctual_o to_o the_o assumption_n in_o my_o argument_n therefore_o for_o the_o more_o clear_a illustration_n of_o the_o word_n of_o peter_n and_o for_o the_o more_o full_a discovery_n of_o the_o force_n of_o the_o argument_n which_o i_o have_v allege_v i_o will_v stay_v the_o long_o upon_o this_o point_n and_o to_o begin_v with_o the_o ground_n of_o all_o i_o do_v not_o say_v though_o you_o be_v willing_a to_o mistake_v my_o meaning_n that_o a_o right_a to_o the_o promise_n do_v absolute_o infer_v a_o right_n to_o baptism_n for_o then_o all_o believer_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n will_v have_v have_v a_o right_a to_o baptism_n but_o i_o say_v this_o that_o the_o right_n which_o believer_n and_o their_o child_n have_v to_o the_o promise_n as_o exhibit_v reveal_v and_o declare_v in_o the_o last_o time_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n this_o do_v infer_v and_o bring_v in_o a_o right_a to_o baptism_n and_o in_o this_o do_v the_o force_n of_o my_o argument_n consist_v that_o this_o may_v more_o evident_o be_v declare_v and_o that_o you_o may_v judge_v aright_o i_o will_v entreat_v you_o to_o distinguish_v between_o the_o promise_n itself_o and_o the_o several_a revelation_n exhibition_n manifestation_n and_o edition_n of_o the_o same_o promise_n the_o ocean_n sea_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o but_o yet_o as_o it_o beat_v upon_o the_o spanish_a coast_n it_o be_v call_v the_o spanish_a sea_n as_o it_o beat_v upon_o the_o french_a coast_n it_o be_v call_v the_o french_a sea_n and_o upon_o the_o english_a coast_n the_o english_a sea_n so_o the_o promise_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o to_o believer_n and_o their_o child_n yet_o according_a to_o several_a dispensation_n it_o be_v various_a &_o manifold_a to_o begin_v therefore_o with_o the_o promise_n itself_o there_o be_v but_o one_o way_n of_o salvation_n by_o christ_n the_o promise_a seed_n according_a to_o that_o say_n of_o the_o apostle_n jesus_n christ_n yesterday_o and_o to_o day_n and_o the_o same_o for_o ever_o heb._n 13.8_o but_o for_o the_o degree_n of_o revelation_n there_o be_v three_o remarkable_a exhibition_n and_o edition_n of_o the_o promise_n the_o first_o be_v for_o the_o space_n of_o two_o thousand_o year_n from_o adam_n to_o abraham_n the_o second_o be_v for_o the_o space_n of_o two_o thousand_o year_n from_o abraham_n to_o christ_n the_o three_o be_v from_o christ_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n these_o several_a exhibition_n of_o the_o promise_n ought_v careful_o to_o be_v distinguish_v for_o from_o hence_o do_v arise_v the_o difference_n of_o faith_n the_o difference_n of_o profession_n of_o the_o faith_n the_o difference_n of_o church_n state_n the_o difference_n of_o the_o seal_n of_o admission_n the_o difference_n of_o right_a to_o the_o seal_n of_o admission_n yea_o the_o difference_n be_v so_o great_a that_o a_o true_a believer_n of_o the_o heart_n under_o one_o dispensation_n can_v have_v a_o right_n as_o such_o to_o the_o church_n state_n or_o the_o seal_n of_o admission_n under_o another_o dispensation_n i_o say_v he_o can_v not_o have_v a_o right_n to_o the_o church_n state_n or_o the_o seal_n of_o admission_n till_o he_o have_v receive_v the_o promise_n as_o exhibit_v and_o reveal_v under_o that_o particular_a dispensation_n yet_o nevertheless_o let_v there_o be_v never_o such_o great_a diversity_n this_o will_v still_o prove_v a_o firm_a and_o a_o undoubted_a truth_n in_o all_o exhibition_n and_o dispensation_n that_o when_o a_o man_n believe_v the_o promise_n and_o do_v come_v in_o the_o right_a to_o church-membership_a shall_v belong_v to_o he_o and_o to_o his_o child_n let_v we_o now_o come_v to_o instance_n the_o first_o edition_n of_o the_o promise_n be_v for_o two_o thousand_o year_n from_o adam_n to_o abraham_n and_o here_o though_o god_n do_v not_o show_v the_o son_n of_o man_n the_o messiah_n in_o person_n as_o he_o do_v to_o we_o nor_o of_o what_o particular_a family_n or_o nation_n he_o shall_v come_v as_o he_o do_v to_o the_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n yet_o in_o the_o general_n he_o do_v make_v so_o much_o of_o the_o truth_n thereof_o know_v to_o they_o that_o the_o seed_n of_o
