Against the rusticke sophistry, and wicked cavillations of sacrilegious Anabaptists: being the summe of certaine sermons had in the parish-church of Cranham, neere the city of Gloucester, in Gloucester-shire, with the exceptions of certaine Anabaptists against the foresaid sermons, and the authors answers thereunto.

we_o find_v general_o all_o child_n to_o be_v as_o vile_a and_o as_o wicked_a when_o they_o be_v come_v to_o any_o bigness_n as_o any_o wicked_a man_n for_o there_o be_v not_o any_o evil_n almost_o

we_o have_v those_o that_o die_v daily_o unto_o sin_n and_o be_v vex_v in_o soul_n to_o see_v the_o abomination_n of_o other_o again_o we_o have_v those_o that_o bear_v upon_o they_o the_o mark_n of_o

as_o any_o wicked_a man_n i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o this_o your_o charge_n be_v unjust_a wicked_a and_o slanderous_a for_o many_o child_n of_o godly_a parent_n among_o we_o that_o be_v baptize_v

that_o god_n do_v ordinary_o make_v our_o baptise_v of_o infant_n effectual_a to_o the_o end_n whereunto_o true_a baptism_n be_v appoint_v and_o now_o you_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o baptism_n that_o change_v the_o baptize_v but_o the_o word_n well_o god_n ordinary_o by_o his_o word_n change_v and_o new_o mould_v the_o baptize_v in_o their_o infancy_n and_o so_o god_n by_o his_o word_n ordinary_o make_v baptism_n effectual_a unto_o person_n that_o be_v baptize_v in_o their_o infancy_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o we_o will_v have_v and_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o while_n you_o

but_o it_o be_v god_n that_o make_v his_o word_n effectual_a to_o the_o end_n whereunto_o it_o be_v appoint_v god_n must_v be_v look_v upon_o in_o all_o his_o ordinance_n as_o a_o wise_a worker_n that_o make_v they_o all_o helpful_a unto_o one_o another_o and_o one_o must_v not_o exclude_v another_o the_o infant_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v circumcise_v in_o their_o infancy_n but_o that_o sacrament_n become_v a_o long_a time_n afterward_o effectual_o by_o the_o instruction_n of_o their_o teacher_n shall_v we_o now_o for_o this_o cause_n exclude_v circumcision_n as_o ineffectual_a because_o god_n make_v it_o not_o effectual_a unto_o they_o until_o a_o long_a time_n after_o by_o the_o instruction_n of_o their_o instructour_n answer_v this_o and_o the_o proportion_n will_v hold_v in_o paedobaptism_n it_o be_v wild_a divinity_n to_o say_v that_o a_o ordinance_n be_v not_o to_o be_v use_v unless_o it_o take_v effect_v present_o anabaptist_n for_o we_o find_v they_o to_o show_v forth_o as_o bad_a fruit_n after_o their_o baptism_n as_o the_o vile_a creature_n that_o be_v so_o that_o if_o we_o shall_v judge_v of_o their_o baptism_n by_o their_o fruit_n before_o they_o come_v to_o understand_v the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o may_v just_o say_v that_o their_o baptism_n be_v abominable_a by_o its_o evil_a fruit_n i_o say_v if_o we_o shall_v judge_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o

yet_o i_o say_v we_o will_v be_v spare_v in_o that_o and_o impute_v those_o evil_a fruit_n and_o effect_n that_o be_v in_o child_n after_o baptism_n unto_o their_o corrupt_a nature_n and_o their_o baptism_n to_o be_v ineffectual_a by_o its_o fruit_n and_o therefore_o by_o all_o this_o well_o consider_v we_o may_v see_v it_o be_v the_o word_n that_o make_v the_o change_n in_o the_o child_n and_o other_o and_o not_o their_o baptism_n thus_o we_o plain_o see_v that_o it_o be_v the_o word_n that_o make_v they_o fit_a for_o baptism_n and_o not_o their_o parentage_n answer_n we_o find_v not_o all_o baptize_v child_n of_o christian_a parent_n as_o bad_a as_o this_o your_o wicked_a charge_n do_v import_v nay_o there_o be_v creature_n worse_o than_o the_o worst_a of_o they_o and_o therefore_o you_o be_v a_o false_a accuser_n and_o unjust_a slanderer_n and_o you_o can_v make_v it_o good_a but_o you_o have_v forget_v the_o business_n in_o hand_n again_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o god_n do_v ordinary_o make_v our_o baptise_v of_o infant_n effectual_a to_o the_o end_n whereunto_o true_a baptism_n be_v appoint_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o this_o the_o lord_n may_v do_v though_o the_o most_o of_o those_o that_o we_o baptize_v in_o their_o infancy_n prove_v vicious_a in_o their_o conversation_n and_o but_o few_o of_o they_o religious_a as_o long_o as_o the_o lord_n do_v it_o ordinary_o

few_o of_o the_o baptize_v our_o argument_n stand_v good_a and_o you_o can_v no_o more_o conclude_v from_o the_o viciousness_n of_o the_o baptize_v in_o infancy_n that_o that_o practice_n of_o baptise_v infant_n be_v abominable_a than_o you_o may_v from_o the_o viciousness_n of_o the_o jew_n that_o their_o circumcision_n in_o their_o infancy_n be_v abominable_a because_o there_o be_v but_o few_o of_o they_o unto_o who_o god_n ordinary_o make_v it_o effectual_a to_o the_o proper_a end_n whereunto_o it_o be_v appoint_v in_o the_o word_n for_o among_o they_o there_o be_v but_o few_o that_o do_v believe_v in_o the_o messiah_n &_o yield_v obedience_n unto_o god_n holy_a law_n in_o heart_n and_o life_n and_o now_o how_o just_a your_o conclusion_n be_v from_o my_o premise_n let_v all_o

you_o say_v that_o child_n be_v holy_a in_o the_o apostle_n estimation_n i_o suppose_v you_o rest_v upon_o that_o rot_a prop_n of_o popery_n and_o so_o you_o will_v have_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o

tongue_n in_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o express_a letter_n but_o you_o have_v say_v enough_o you_o confess_v you_o have_v no_o example_n in_o the_o new_a
