A30628	An argument for infants baptisme deduced from the analogy of faith, and [of the] harmony of the [Scr]iptures : in which in a method wholly new, and upon grounds not commonly observed bo[th the] doctrine (of infants baptism) is fully asserted, and the objections against it are obviated / by Richard Burthogge.

between_o god_n and_o he_o and_o though_o they_o all_o do_v worship_n and_o honour_n god_n in_o way_n of_o sacrifice_n in_o all_o which_o the_o bless_a jesus_n the_o true_a lamb_n of_o god_n be_v

the_o spirit_n further_o than_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o and_o then_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v please_v in_o they_o to_o reveal_v to_o we_o be_v no_o proper_a subject_n for_o our_o now_o

be_v evident_a in_o the_o case_n of_o melchizedeck_v who_o though_o whatever_o learned_a cunaeus_n think_v he_o be_v a_o man_n and_o consequent_o be_v not_o real_o without_o father_n without_o

the_o ancient_a father_n in_o a_o way_n of_o covenant_n or_o promise_n for_o grace_n eternal_a life_n or_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o the_o least_o that_o can_v be_v say_v if_o we_o shall_v be_v prevail_v to_o acknowledge_v any_o such_o transaction_n must_v be_v see_v the_o scripture_n be_v so_o deep_o silent_a in_o it_o that_o as_o there_o be_v a_o mystery_n in_o the_o silence_n of_o the_o

as_o melchisedeck_v to_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o the_o eternal_a priest_n must_v be_v bring_v in_o in_o scripture_n as_o a_o man_n drop_v out_o of_o the_o cloud_n without_o any_o mention_n of_o

up_o to_o be_v namely_o the_o father_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a or_o express_v believer_n in_o christ_n there_o must_v be_v no_o record_n in_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n of_o any_o promise_n of_o

you_o ask_v i_o but_o be_v not_o god_n 〈◊〉_d a_o rewarder_n in_o and_o through_o christ_n and_o not_o otherwise_o i_o answer_v yes_o and_o yet_o it_o be_v possible_a they_o may_v believe_v in_o god_n

to_o be_v so_o but_o in_o christ_n that_o god_n be_v and_o be_v a_o rewarder_n be_v point_n of_o natural_a religion_n but_o that_o christ_n be_v and_o god_n a_o rewarder_n in_o he_o be_v point_n of_o
