A47755	A religious conference between a minister and parishioner: concerning the practice of our orthodox Church of England in baptizing infants, and pouring water on their faces, or sprinkling them; and in confirming them by the bishop when they come of age to give an account of their faith. Proving all three lawful by the authority of the Holy Scriptures.	Leslie, Charles, 1650-1722.	1696 (1696)	Wing L1145; ESTC R213965	23,437	34

day_n and_o night_n under_o water_n to_o make_v the_o resemblance_n to_o christ_n burial_n complete_a and_o then_o they_o will_v have_v be_v bury_v indeed_o 2._o in_o bury_v a_o corpse_n we_o be_v not_o wont_a to_o dip_v they_o into_o the_o earth_n which_o will_v not_o yield_v to_o they_o as_o water_n do_v but_o to_o sprinkle_v earth_n upon_o it_o 3._o this_o phrase_n must_v be_v take_v mystical_o as_o our_o church_n expound_v it_o that_o as_o christ_n die_v and_o rose_n again_o for_o we_o so_o shall_v we_o who_o be_v baptise_a dye_n from_o sin_n and_o rise_v again_o unto_o righteousness_n p._n have_v you_o any_o more_o place_n of_o scripture_n to_o produce_v m._n yes_o three_o more_o which_o you_o shall_v have_v in_o order_n mat_n 19.14_o where_o our_o lord_n say_v of_o little_a child_n who_o st._n luke_n call_v infant_n cap._n 18.15_o who_o be_v bring_v unto_o he_o for_o his_o blessing_n and_o prayer_n of_o such_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o then_o certain_o we_o can_v deny_v baptism_n to_o those_o child_n to_o who_o god_n will_v not_o deny_v heaven_n p._n but_o at_o this_o rate_n of_o argue_v you_o must_v give_v they_o the_o lord_n supper_n too_o as_o they_o do_v general_o in_o the_o church_n about_o a_o thousand_o year_n ago_o m._n but_o there_o be_v not_o the_o same_o reason_n for_o adminstr_v the_o one_o as_o there_o be_v the_o other_o ordinance_n to_o child_n 1._o because_o in_o that_o command_n our_o lord_n give_v about_o baptism_n john_n 3.5_o the_o word_n make_v use_v of_o to_o signify_v the_o subject_n thereof_o may_v be_v as_o well_o extend_v to_o infant_n as_o to_o grow_v person_n it_o be_v except_o one_o any_o one_o whether_o he_o be_v man_n or_o woman_n or_o child_n be_v bear_v of_o water_n and_o the_o spirit_n he_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n but_o in_o the_o command_n st._n paul_n give_v about_o the_o lord_n supper_n he_o say_v let_v a_o man_n examine_v himself_o and_o so_o let_v he_o eat_v of_o that_o bread_n and_o drink_v of_o that_o cup_n 1_o cor._n 11.28_o let_v a_o man_n etc._n etc._n the_o word_n signify_v a_o man_n of_o understanding_n that_o can_v examine_v himself_o and_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n so_o that_o infant_n may_v be_v baptize_v pursuant_n to_o the_o former_a command_n but_o they_o may_v not_o be_v permit_v to_o communicate_v pursuant_n to_o the_o latter_a p._n but_o these_o man_n will_v not_o understand_v that_o place_n of_o john_n to_o be_v speak_v of_o our_o christian_a baptism_n m._n they_o may_v understand_v thing_n as_o they_o please_v and_o as_o their_o interest_n lead_v they_o but_o it_o be_v plain_a the_o most_o ancient_a and_o best_a expositor_n have_v so_o understand_v the_o place_n and_o so_o it_o must_v be_v understand_v or_o else_o it_o will_v be_v hard_a for_o they_o to_o prove_v we_o must_v baptise_v with_o water_n there_o be_v no_o mention_n of_o water_n in_o christ_n commission_n or_o rather_o enlargement_n of_o it_o to_o his_o disciple_n to_o baptise_v all_o nation_n mat._n 28.19_o and_o therefore_o i_o wonder_v at_o the_o confidence_n of_o 6._o of_o mr._n k._n gold_n refine_v p._n 6._o one_o of_o they_o who_o say_v this_o last_o be_v the_o only_a place_n where_o water-baptism_n be_v mention_v when_o it_o be_v certain_a it_o be_v not_o there_o mention_v at_o all_o the_o word_n be_v go_v you_o therefore_o and_o teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o be_v not_o there_o say_v baptise_v they_o with_o water_n any_o more_o than_o it_o be_v say_v baptise_v infant_n and_o if_o water_n have_v be_v express_v to_o what_o purpose_n do_v that_o author_n muster_v up_o eight_o argument_n and_o spend_v so_o many_o page_n to_o prove_v water_n must_v be_v imply_v and_o mean_v in_o christ_n commission_n if_o it_o be_v mention_v there_o p._n it_o be_v strange_a a_o man_n shall_v take_v so_o much_o pain_n to_o prove_v water_n must_v be_v intend_v in_o such_o a_o place_n of_o scripture_n if_o it_o be_v there_o express_v m._n it_o be_v no_o stranger_n than_o true_a but_o he_o be_v loath_a such_o a_o needful_a thing_n as_o water_n shall_v be_v omit_v in_o christ_n commission_n to_o baptise_v and_o be_v only_o imply_v lest_o on_o the_o same_o account_n the_o baptise_v of_o infant_n shall_v be_v also_o imply_v in_o it_o p._n that_o may_v be_v the_o reason_n why_o he_o be_v so_o presumptuous_a to_o say_v water-baptism_n be_v mention_v mat._n 28.18_o though_o he_o tell_v a_o untruth_n in_o say_v it_o but_o have_v you_o any_o other_o reason_n why_o child_n though_o they_o may_v be_v baptise_a may_v not_o receive_v the_o lord_n supper_n m._n yes_o because_o baptism_n be_v a_o initiate_a sacrament_n and_o so_o like_a milk_n proper_a only_o for_o babe_n in_o christ_n but_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v a_o strengthen_n and_o confirm_v sacrament_n and_o so_o like_o strong_a meat_n proper_a for_o such_o as_o be_v grow_v to_o be_v perfect_a man_n in_o christ_n jesus_n p._n but_o christ_n do_v not_o say_v of_o these_o child_n but_o of_o such_o as_o these_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n m._n but_o if_o man_n shall_v enter_v into_o heaven_n for_o be_v like_o child_n child_n who_o be_v set_v for_o man_n pattern_n can_v be_v exclude_v from_o it_o and_o if_o child_n have_v a_o right_n to_o the_o heavenly_a inheritance_n they_o can_v in_o justice_n be_v deny_v baptism_n which_o be_v as_o it_o be_v god_n sign_v and_o seal_v the_o deed_n by_o which_o it_o be_v convey_v p._n this_o seem_v unreasonable_a but_o what_o be_v your_o other_o proof_n m._n it_o be_v 1_o cor._n 7.14_o else_o be_v your_o child_n unclean_a but_o now_o be_v they_o holy_a where_o the_o apostle_n in_o all_o likelihood_n intend_v a_o real_a or_o foederal_a and_o not_o a_o matrimonial_a holiness_n i._n e._n only_o a_o legitimacy_n to_o be_v in_o believer_n child_n otherwise_o there_o can_v be_v no_o lawful_a marriage_n among_o heathen_n nor_o their_o child_n lawful_o beget_v contrary_a to_o heb._n 13.4_o marriage_n be_v honourable_a in_o all_o etc._n etc._n and_o this_o reason_n of_o our_o exposition_n the_o opposer_n thereof_o do_v well_o to_o omit_v because_o i_o doubt_v they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o answer_v it_o p._n but_o if_o foederal_a holiness_n be_v here_o mean_v than_o the_o unbelieving_a wife_n may_v lay_v a_o claim_n to_o baptism_n as_o well_o as_o the_o child_n on_o the_o account_n of_o her_o husband_n faith_n m._n no_o there_o be_v a_o double_a difference_n in_o the_o case_n 1._o because_o there_o be_v not_o the_o same_o reason_n a_o believer_n unbelieving_a wife_n shall_v be_v covenant_o holy_a as_o that_o his_o child_n shall_v be_v so_o almighty_a god_n have_v engage_v himself_o in_o covenant_n to_o such_o child_n which_o he_o have_v not_o do_v to_o such_o a_o wife_n the_o tenor_n of_o which_o covenant_n run_v thus_o gen._n 17.7_o i_o will_v establish_v my_o covenant_n between_o i_o and_o thou_o and_o thy_o seed_n after_o thou_o in_o their_o generation_n for_o a_o everlasting_a covenant_n to_o be_v a_o god_n to_o thou_o and_o to_o thy_o seed_n after_o thou_o and_o this_o covenant_n which_o god_n make_v with_o abraham_n be_v still_o in_o force_n and_o make_v with_o the_o believe_a gentile_n and_o their_o child_n by_o virtue_n of_o which_o a_o covenant_n relation_n redound_v to_o the_o child_n of_o a_o believe_a father_n but_o not_o of_o the_o unbelieve_a mother_n the_o covenant_n be_v establish_v with_o believer_n and_o their_o seed_n and_o not_o with_o their_o

pharaoh_n daughter_n she_o continue_v a_o heathen_a still_o have_v no_o benefit_n of_o the_o abrahamical_a covenant_n as_o her_o husband_n and_o child_n if_o he_o beget_v any_o by_o she_o have_v they_o be_v both_o within_o the_o covenant_n though_o she_o be_v out_o of_o it_o in_o like_a manner_n be_v it_o with_o a_o believe_a christian_a husband_n he_o and_o his_o child_n be_v covenant_o
