THE Paedo-Baptists Apology FOR THE Baptized Churches Shewing The invalidity of the strongest grounds for Infant Baptism out of the works of the learned assertors of that tenent AND That the Baptism of Repentance for the remission of sins is a duty incumbent upon all sinners who come orderly to the profession of Christianity ALSO The Promise of the Spirit ●eing the substance of a Sermon on 1 Cor. 12. 1. To which is added A POST-SCRIPT Out of the works of Dr. Jer. Taylor in defence of imposition of hands as a never failing Ministery By Tho. Grantham Mr. Perkins on Gal. 3. 27. Baptism alone is no mark of Gods Child but Baptism joyned with Faith for so must the text be consideres All the Galations that believe are baptized into Christ Printed in the Year 1671. To the Reader Friend I Have a few things to say before thou read this ensuing Apology and first The occasion of it is from the late unkind usages which the Baptized Churches have received from the Paedo-Baptists by violently dispersing their Assemblies by defacing and taking away their meeting places by imprisoning their persons seizing and wasting their Estates by injuring them in their Trade by means of excommunications by Writs de Capiendo and other penall proceedings both confining their Persons and exposing them to great inconveniencies And all this only as I conceive for their conscionable observance of the will of God in Preaching the Gospel to sinners ●●r the obedience of faith and for adhearing to that form of Doctrine once deli●ered to the Saints Heb. 6. 1 2. In which Doct●ine and sufferings being through the mercy of God a pertaker with them I thought I might lawsully write an Apology for them or at least for the Truth professed by them And that I might the ●ore effectually do this I chose to speak ●o their advers●ries by the learned ●ens of their own Doctors 2. My design in writing this Apo●ogy is to abate if it may be that great enmity which hath appeared generally between the parties concerned and more perticularly that spirit of opposition and disresp●ct which too much appears in the more refined sort of the Paedo-Baptists against such as labor to reform or rather to restore the Doctrine of Baptism to its first integrity and estimation among all that profess the name of our Lord Jesus Christ under what Epethets or den●minations soever And me thinks th● truth should prevail with all that do consider the authority and force thereof to be such that men are constrained as it were to speak for it though to the overthrow of their dearest errours so that we may say their Rock is net as our Rock our enemies being judges 3. I have not injured the sense of my authours and where I have added any thing for explycation of any word or passage I have distingushed the same partly by a different Letter and partly by this Character nor have I said much in the Apology as indeed it was not necessary considering the evidence of the word of God for us and the Record which our opposers do bear in favour of our Cause and beside they that will may see what may be further said in the case depending if they please to peruse the Learned works of those of our way viz. Denn his Answer to Dr. Featley Tombs his Antipaedo-Baptist Fisher his Christianismus Rediv●vous and many others 4. The second part intitled Of the Promise of the Spirit I though fit to be annexed because Acts 2. 38 39. such as are Baptized with the Baptism of Repentance for Remission of fins have the promise of the Spirit made to them which being sought for in the way ordained of God shall be received according to his will for he is faithfull that promised Thy servant in Christ Tho. Grantham THE Paedo Baptists Apologie FOR The Baptized Churches c. THere is no point of the Christian Faith of greater importance in order to the composure of Divisions among such as conscientiously profess the Name of Christ then the Doctrine of holy Baptisme in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins for as many as have been Baptixed into Christ have put on Christ And where this foundation truth hath been neglected or essentially corrupted there hath ensued great disorder in Religion because the being of the Church as visible is so concern'd therein that there can be no orderly proceeding in any Church Act nor participation in any Church Priviledge where Sacred Baptisme is not Antecedent And though Reformation or rather the restoration of this Truth be hard to accomplish yet must we not be discouraged but still pursue all lawful and probable wayes to effect it in this as well as in other cases And the way which I have chosen to help on this needful work at this time is to shew that notwithstanding the discord in point of practice yet there is a very great concord in doctrine touching the main questions which concern this Heavenly Institution between the Paedo-Baptists and the Baptized Churces The questions are these 1. What are the Qualifications required of all such as are to be bapt●zed 2. What is the aue Act or right Form to be observed and done in this solemn rite of Baptisme Touching the first the doctrine of the Baptized Churches is well known namely That Repentance toward God and Faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ are prerequisites to the baptisme of every sinner And to this agrees the holy Scripture with full consent ●aying Repent and be baptized every one of you They were all baptized confessing their sins When they beleived Philip preaching the things concerning the Kingdome of God c. They were baptized both men and women many of the Corinthians hearing believe'd and were baptised And hence this holy Ordinance is well called the Laver of Regeneration the Baptisme of repentance fo●th● r●mis●ion of sins Now let us hear the doctrine of the Paedo-Baptists touching this question 1. The Church of England both in her Articles and vulgar Catechism delivers her mind clearly to this purpose that such repentance whereby sin is forsaken and such Faith as by which the promises of God are stedfastly beleived is required of persons meaning all persons which are to be baptized and that in Baptism Faith is confirmed c. 2. M● Perkins a Learned Son of ●he same Church upon these words ●each all Nations baptizeing them saith I explain the words thus mark first of all it is said Teach them that is make them my Disciples by calling them to believe and to repent Here we are to consider the order which God observes in makeing with man the Covenant in Baptism first of all he calls them by his word and commands them to beleive and repent then in the second place God makes his promise of mercy and forgiveness and thirdly he feals his promise by Baptism they that know not nor consider this order which God used in Covenanting with them in
