A77753	A iustification of two points now in controversie with the Anabaptists concerning baptisme: the first is, that infants of Christians ought to be baptized, with grounds to prove it, and their objections answered. With a briefe answer to Master Tombes twelve doubtfull arguments against it in his exercitation about infants baptisme. Also a briefe answer to Captaine Hobsons five arguments in his falacy of infants baptisme, being (as he saith) that which should have beene disputed by him, and Mr. Knowles, and some others; against Mr. Calamy and Mr. Cranford. The second point is, that the sprinckling the baptized more agreeth with the minde of Christ then dipping or plunging in or under the water: with grounds to prove it, and a briefe auswer [sic] to what they have to say against it. / By T.B.	Bakewell, Thomas, b. 1618 or 19.	1646 (1646)	Wing B534; Thomason E316_23; ESTC R5282	32,062	32

and_o christ_n say_v a_o man_n must_v be_v bear_v of_o water_n and_o then_o of_o the_o spirit_n john_n 3.5_o and_o john_n the_o baptist_n say_v i_o baptize_v you_o with_o water_n but_o he_o come_v after_o that_o baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n mat._n 3.11_o but_o master_n tomb_n say_v to_o baptize_v infant_n be_v to_o baptize_v those_o who_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o appoint_v to_o be_v baptize_v and_o yet_o he_o grant_v that_o infant_n may_v be_v baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o may_v be_v baptize_v if_o they_o be_v know_v to_o we_o from_o that_o text_n act_v 10.47_o but_o say_v he_o to_o baptize_v infant_n because_o christ_n command_v to_o baptise_v all_o nation_n be_v very_o faulty_a first_o in_o cast_v away_o that_o restriction_n which_o christ_n have_v put_v second_o in_o determine_v that_o all_o man_n whatsoever_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v and_o so_o it_o be_v no_o privilege_n to_o believer_n and_o their_o child_n but_o as_o common_a to_o infidel_n as_o to_o their_o child_n i_o answer_v here_o he_o deny_v the_o command_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v a_o rule_n and_o will_v make_v a_o restriction_n where_o christ_n make_v none_o and_o then_o he_o make_v a_o false_a conclusion_n as_o if_o he_o ever_o say_v or_o do_v intend_v to_o baptize_v the_o child_n of_o infidel_n before_o their_o parent_n be_v teach_v the_o covenant_n and_o so_o by_o baptism_n be_v admit_v into_o the_o christian_a church_n but_o yet_o in_o other_o place_n he_o say_v himself_o that_o believer_n child_n have_v no_o privilege_n above_o the_o child_n of_o infidel_n but_o because_o he_o slight_v this_o general_a command_n to_o all_o nation_n which_o include_v all_o sort_n of_o mankind_n because_o he_o have_v not_o a_o special_a command_n for_o infant_n only_o i_o may_v say_v to_o he_o as_o christ_n say_v to_o the_o pharisee_n when_o they_o say_v to_o swear_v by_o the_o temple_n be_v nothing_o but_o he_o that_o swear_v by_o the_o gold_n of_o it_o be_v a_o debtor_n so_o the_o command_n to_o baptise_v all_o nation_n be_v nothing_o unless_o it_o be_v for_o infant_n only_o when_o as_o the_o temple_n sanctify_v the_o gold_n mat._n 23.16.17_o and_o the_o whole_a nation_n include_v infant_n but_o he_o must_v have_v they_o disciple_n first_o because_o it_o be_v report_v that_o christ_n make_v and_o baptize_v disciple_n john_n 4.2_o when_o as_o he_o grant_v it_o to_o be_v a_o false_a report_n therefore_o nothing_o can_v safe_o be_v draw_v from_o it_o but_o i_o shall_v give_v a_o further_a answer_n to_o this_o and_o captain_n hobson_n three_o agreement_n together_o again_o suppose_v we_o grant_v that_o man_n of_o year_n who_o be_v convert_v from_o false_a religion_n to_o the_o true_a christian_a religion_n that_o such_o must_v be_v teach_v the_o covenant_n be_v capable_a of_o teach_v before_o they_o have_v the_o token_n of_o it_o give_v to_o they_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o abraham_n and_o with_o many_o heathen_n when_o they_o be_v convert_v to_o the_o jew_n religion_n but_o when_o they_o be_v admit_v their_o infant_n have_v a_o right_a to_o it_o without_o any_o teach_n go_v before_o and_o when_o they_o be_v capable_a they_o teach_v they_o the_o covenant_n as_o they_o be_v command_v deut._n 4.10.13_o and_o so_o they_o teach_v they_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o passeover_n exod._n 12.26.27_o then_o why_o may_v not_o christian_n infant_n be_v teach_v the_o covenant_n after_o they_o have_v receive_v the_o token_n of_o it_o as_o well_o as_o jewish_a infant_n again_o as_o they_o be_v mere_a passives_n when_o they_o receive_v the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n so_o be_v our_o infant_n the_o work_n be_v do_v upon_o they_o therefore_o they_o may_v be_v baptize_v second_o they_o object_n that_o if_o they_o must_v repent_v before_o they_o be_v baptize_v than_o infant_n may_v not_o be_v baptize_v but_o the_o first_o be_v true_a act_n 2.38_o ergo_fw-la so_o be_v the_o second_o i_o answ_v it_o be_v true_a in_o man_n of_o year_n that_o be_v convert_v from_o heathen_n to_o the_o christian_a religion_n but_o it_o be_v neither_o require_v of_o jewish_a infant_n before_o circumcision_n nor_o of_o christian_a infant_n before_o baptism_n for_o as_o they_o circumcise_a their_o infant_n so_o john_n baptize_v they_o before_o or_o unto_o repentance_n mat._n 3.11_o therefore_o christian_a infanta_n ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v but_o what_o if_o the_o saducee_v and_o pharisee_n and_o the_o bloody_a murderer_n of_o christ_n be_v call_v upon_o to_o repent_v before_o either_o john_n or_o peter_n will_v admit_v they_o to_o baptism_n will_v it_o follow_v that_o infant_n of_o christian_n must_v do_v so_o actual_o before_o they_o be_v admit_v to_o baptism_n the_o one_o of_o these_o be_v a_o generation_n of_o viper_n have_v the_o leaven_n of_o false_a doctrine_n that_o must_v be_v purge_v out_o mat._n 16.13_o else_o like_o viper_n it_o will_v eat_v out_o the_o heart_n and_o life_n of_o christian_a religion_n mat._n 3.7_o and_o the_o other_o be_v the_o leaven_n of_o prophannesse_n which_o like_o savage_a beast_n will_v trample_v religion_n under_o their_o foot_n than_o this_o also_o must_v be_v purge_v out_o 1_o cor._n 5.7.13_o then_o as_o both_o must_v be_v purge_v out_o so_o they_o must_v be_v both_o keep_v out_o but_o will_v it_o follow_v that_o infant_n must_v repent_v of_o murder_n and_o heresy_n before_o they_o be_v admit_v to_o baptism_n let_v they_o that_o will_v have_v they_o to_o repent_v of_o those_o foul_a sin_n prove_v they_o guilty_a of_o they_o or_o else_o they_o be_v very_o unjust_a to_o debar_v they_o of_o the_o privilege_n of_o the_o church_n and_o actual_o excommunicate_v they_o without_o any_o trial_n or_o just_a proof_n against_o they_o and_o till_o than_o we_o must_v hold_v that_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v three_o they_o object_n if_o none_o must_v be_v baptise_a but_o such_o as_o be_v call_v than_o infant_n of_o christian_n may_v not_o be_v baptise_a but_o the_o first_o be_v true_a act_n 1.39_o ergo_fw-la so_o be_v the_o second_o i_o answ_n it_o be_v true_a to_o those_o afar_o off_o they_o must_v be_v call_v to_o the_o christian_a religion_n but_o it_o be_v not_o true_a to_o christian_n already_o call_v nor_o require_v of_o their_o infant_n any_o more_o than_o it_o be_v of_o jewish_a infant_n for_o by_o virtue_n of_o their_o call_n their_o child_n be_v holy_a 1_o cor._n 7.14_o and_o aught_o to_o be_v baptize_v four_o they_o object_n that_o if_o none_o must_v be_v baptize_v but_o those_o that_o confess_v their_o sin_n than_o infant_n must_v not_o be_v baptize_v but_o the_o first_o be_v true_a mat._n 3.6_o ergo_fw-la so_o be_v the_o second_o i_o answ_v this_o also_o be_v true_a in_o man_n of_o year_n who_o be_v convert_v from_o heathenism_n to_o the_o christian_a religion_n so_o it_o be_v when_o any_o be_v convert_v to_o the_o jewish_a religion_n but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o infant_n either_o jew_n or_o christian_n again_o when_o multitude_n come_v to_o john_n to_o be_v baptize_v of_o he_o some_o few_o of_o they_o may_v confess_v the_o sin_n of_o all_o as_o be_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o people_n to_o god_n as_o any_o minister_n be_v in_o his_o congregation_n than_o this_o hinder_v not_o but_o they_o and_o our_o infant_n may_v be_v baptize_v five_o they_o object_n if_o none_o must_v be_v baptize_v but_o such_o as_o believe_v than_o infant_n may_v not_o be_v baptize_v but_o the_o first_o be_v true_a mark_v 16.16_o act_n 8.36_o 37._o ergo_fw-la so_o be_v the_o second_o i_o answ_n if_o none_o but_o such_o as_o we_o know_v do_v true_o believe_v must_v be_v baptize_v than_o we_o must_v baptize_v none_o at_o all_o because_o we_o know_v no_o man_n heart_n and_o faith_n be_v that_o new_a name_n write_v which_o none_o know_v but_o he_o that_o receive_v it_o revel_v 2.7_o again_o if_o none_o must_v be_v baptize_v but_o true_a believer_n and_o we_o can_v know_v they_o we_o may_v soon_o mistake_v and_o set_v the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n upon_o reprobate_n and_o refuse_v to_o give_v it_o to_o the_o elect._n again_o christ_n say_v those_o little_a one_o that_o he_o take_v in_o his_o arm_n do_v believe_v in_o he_o see_v mat._n 16.6_o compare_v with_o luke_n 9.26_o and_o their_o heart_n may_v as_o well_o be_v know_v to_o we_o as_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n of_o year_n for_o we_o know_v the_o heart_n of_o none_o again_o that_o faith_n that_o be_v require_v be_v but_o to_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o that_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v the_o true_a religion_n but_o infant_n of_o christian_n have_v take_v up_o no_o false_a religion_n than_o it_o need_v not_o be_v require_v that_o they_o shall_v believe_v the_o true_a be_v bring_v up_o in_o none_o other_o again_o to_o baptize_v

we_o who_o be_v no_o better_a than_o viper_n both_o to_o church_n and_o state_n but_o when_o any_o be_v admit_v to_o baptism_n if_o they_o do_v but_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o his_o be_v the_o true_a religion_n i_o say_v although_o they_o shall_v become_v papist_n or_o profane_a drunkard_n or_o swearer_n or_o adulterer_n and_o shall_v be_v excommunicate_v for_o such_o wickedness_n yet_o still_o they_o have_v a_o right_a to_o the_o ordinance_n as_o a_o freeman_n have_v of_o a_o corporation_n although_o for_o the_o present_a he_o be_v in_o prison_n and_o can_v make_v use_n of_o it_o till_o he_o have_v compound_v with_o his_o adversarice_n and_o this_o man_n give_v satisfaction_n to_o the_o church_n therefore_o his_o child_n ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v unless_o the_o parent_n turn_v turk_n and_o so_o renounce_v christ_n and_o christian_n religion_n yet_o if_o but_o one_o of_o they_o shall_v do_v this_o their_o child_n be_v holy_a and_o aught_o to_o be_v baptize_v notwithstanding_o all_o other_o fail_n whatsoever_o twelve_o thou_o object_n if_o none_o must_v be_v baptize_v and_o so_o receive_v the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n but_o such_o as_o have_v the_o covenant_n than_o infant_n 〈◊〉_d not_o be_v baptize_v but_o they_o say_v the_o first_o be_v true_a because_o they_o be_v uncapable_a to_o receive_v the_o covenant_n therefore_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v baptize_v which_o be_v the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n here_o i_o may_v answer_v that_o christian_n infant_n be_v as_o capable_a both_o to_o receive_v the_o covenant_n and_o the_o token_n of_o it_o as_o the_o jewish_a infant_n be_v but_o it_o be_v not_o true_a to_o say_v they_o only_o that_o have_v the_o covenant_n must_v have_v the_o sign_n and_o token_n of_o it_o for_o the_o male_a child_n of_o the_o jew_n all_o have_v the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n both_o the_o elect_a and_o reprobate_n without_o any_o difference_n and_o woman_n which_o be_v in_o the_o

faithful_a for_o the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n be_v not_o give_v as_o a_o personal_a benefit_n to_o all_o that_o have_v it_o but_o it_o be_v give_v for_o the_o good_a of_o god_n people_n who_o ought_v to_o rejoice_v and_o be_v thankful_a for_o it_o wherever_o they_o see_v it_o god_n make_v a_o covenant_n with_o adam_n but_o the_o token_n of_o it_o be_v set_v on_o tree_n and_o god_n make_v a_o covenant_n with_o noah_n but_o the_o token_n of_o it_o be_v set_v in_o the_o cloud_n so_o god_n may_v have_v set_v the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o cloud_n or_o on_o tree_n or_o only_o on_o wicked_a man_n if_o he_o have_v so_o please_v then_o shall_v we_o quarrel_v with_o god_n and_o say_v we_o will_v have_v the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n set_v only_o on_o such_o as_o have_v the_o covenant_n as_o if_o the_o rainbow_n shall_v be_v set_v on_o all_o man_n since_o noah_n flood_n no_o let_v we_o do_v as_o faithful_a woman_n do_v in_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n who_o can_v rejoice_v and_o be_v thankful_a for_o the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n although_o it_o be_v not_o set_v on_o they_o but_o on_o man_n only_o and_o many_o of_o

then_o i_o conclude_v notwithstanding_o these_o objection_n that_o christian_n infant_n ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v but_o master_n tomb_n have_v some_o more_o place_n of_o scripture_n to_o examine_v the_o first_o be_v gen._n 17.7_o from_o which_o we_o prove_v that_o god_n do_v establish_v his_o everlasting_a covenant_n to_o abraham_n and_o verse_n 21._o he_o establish_v that_o everlasting_a

this_o covenant_n be_v make_v with_o christ_n from_o all_o eternity_n so_o prov._n 8.23_o 1_o pet._n 1.20_o titus_n 1.2_o now_o circumcision_n be_v a_o token_n of_o that_o everlasting_a covenant_n gen._n 17.10_o 11._o and_o not_o a_o token_n that_o they_o shall_v enjoy_v the_o land_n of_o canaan_n and_o so_o it_o suit_n with_o baptism_n which_o be_v also_o a_o token_n of_o that_o everlasting_a covenant_n which_o god_n the_o father_n make_v with_o god_n the_o son_n from_o all_o eternity_n but_o master_n tomb_n say_v that_o covenant_n to_o which_o circumcision_n have_v relation_n be_v establish_v to_o abraham_n that_o he_o say_v be_v a_o mix_a covenant_n and_o therefore_o not_o the_o same_o with_o we_o i_o answ_v all_o temporal_a promise_n both_o to_o abraham_n posterity_n and_o also_o to_o we_o be_v but_o the_o overflow_n of_o those_o promise_n contain_v in_o that_o ever_a covenant_n for_o godliness_n have_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o life_n that_o now_o be_v and_o of_o

of_o grace_n now_o circumcision_n be_v the_o token_n of_o this_o covenant_n to_o the_o jew_n as_o baptism_n be_v to_o christian_n but_o i_o shall_v speak_v more_o full_o of_o this_o in_o answer_n to_o

because_o none_o but_o male_n be_v circumcise_v and_o john_n baptist_n do_v baptize_v before_o circumcision_n of_o right_n cease_v therefore_o it_o do_v not_o succeed_v circumcision_n although_o they_o both_o signify_v the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n rom._n 4.11.6.3_o 1_o pet._n 3.21_o and_o the_o same_o sanctification_n of_o the_o heart_n col._n 2.11_o 12._o but_o say_v he_o they_o differ_v in_o some_o thing_n first_o circumcision_n do_v signify_v that_o christ_n shall_v come_v of_o isaac_n gen._n 17.21_o but_o baptism_n do_v signify_v his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n i_o

circumcision_n more_o lively_o signify_v mortification_n and_o the_o death_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o crucify_a and_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o justify_v the_o sinner_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o
