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

consider_v that_o scripture_n the_o son_n of_o god_n see_v the_o daughter_n of_o man_n be_v fair_a gen._n 6.2_o by_o son_n of_o god_n you_o be_v not_o to_o understand_v they_o in_o that_o sense_n as_o

in_o person_n as_o he_o have_v do_v to_o we_o yet_o he_o go_v further_o with_o they_o then_o with_o the_o beleeever_n of_o the_o first_o dispensation_n he_o do_v not_o only_o show_v they_o the_o

that_o do_v this_o the_o promise_n do_v belong_v to_o they_o and_o to_o their_o child_n and_o so_o consequent_o the_o child_n have_v a_o right_a to_o be_v admit_v into_o the_o church_n that_o then_o be_v by_o the_o initial_a seal_n or_o by_o circumcision_n the_o seal_n of_o admittance_n now_o the_o three_o edition_n of_o the_o promise_n be_v from_o christ_n unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o here_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o only_o show_v the_o general_a promise_n make_v to_o the_o lose_a son_n of_o man_n nor_o the_o promise_a seed_n to_o come_v of_o the_o particular_a family_n of_o

suffer_v under_o pontius_n pilate_n etc._n etc._n he_o be_v the_o promise_a seed_n they_o therefore_o that_o believe_v under_o this_o dispensation_n they_o be_v not_o only_o bind_v to_o receive_v

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

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

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

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

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

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
