A79488	A Christian plea for Christians baptisme: raised from the grave of apostasie. or, a short treatise, being a reproof of some things written by A. R. in his treatise, intituled, The vanitie of childish baptisme. In the answer whereof, the lawfulnesse of infants baptisme is defended, the sufficiency of our baptisme received in the state of apostasie, shewed: and the deficiencie of the arguments brought against it manifested, by sufficient grounds and reasons drawn from the sweet fountains of holy Scripture. / [by] S.C.

among_o those_o who_o deny_v infant_n baptism_n to_o be_v god_n holy_a institution_n now_o in_o your_o answer_n to_o this_o you_o cross_v yourself_o in_o pag._n 7._o lin_v 9_o 10_o 11._o where_o you_o

you_o want_v a_o distinction_n and_o explanation_n for_o you_o ought_v to_o have_v make_v a_o distinction_n between_o faith_n inherent_a and_o faith_n profess_v that_o be_v you_o shall_v have_v

have_v faith_n real_o do_v not_o profess_v it_o verbal_o or_o manifest_v it_o themselves_o actual_o again_o you_o shall_v have_v explain_v yourself_o whether_o you_o mean_v by_o the_o elect_a all_o the_o elect_a or_o but_o some_o of_o they_o all_o which_o you_o have_v omit_v wherefore_o i_o omit_v to_o answer_v you_o till_o you_o further_o explain_v yourself_o but_o in_o the_o conclusion_n you_o affirm_v that_o its_o true_a faith_n only_o manifest_v and_o make_v know_v by_o confession_n of_o the_o mouth_n that_o give_v the_o elect_a admission_n to_o baptism_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o though_o we_o can_v know_v invisible_o because_o it_o be_v the_o only_a office_n of_o the_o invisible_a spirit_n to_o who_o all_o thing_n be_v visible_a yet_o we_o may_v judge_v of_o invisible_a

it_o be_v want_v of_o knowledge_n and_o charity_n which_o make_v some_o person_n that_o they_o can_v judge_v so_o of_o they_o nor_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o infant_n of_o heathen_n and_o the_o infant_n of_o believe_a parent_n for_o the_o infant_n of_o believer_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n can_v not_o be_v circumcise_v according_a to_o god_n will_v without_o a_o confession_n but_o if_o their_o parent_n make_v a_o confession_n it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o bring_v both_o they_o and_o their_o infant_n to_o have_v right_a to_o circumcision_n and_o those_o infant_n be_v jew_n that_o be_v confessor_n though_o they_o can_v not_o make_v a_o verbal_a confession_n themselves_o actual_o and_o the_o like_a privilege_n the_o infant_n of_o believer_n have_v now_o under_o the_o
