A74998	Some baptismal abuses briefly discovered. Or A cordial endeavour to reduce the administration and use of baptism, to its primitive purity; in two parts. The first part, tending to disprove the lawfulness of infant baptism. The second part, tending to prove it necessary for persons to be baptized after they believe, their infant baptism, or any pre-profession of the Gospel notwithstanding. As also, discovering the disorder and irregularity that is in mixt communion of persons baptized, with such as are unbaptized, in church-fellowship. By William Allen.

rational_a principle_n consonant_a to_o the_o scripture_n upon_o and_o from_o which_o i_o have_v already_o evince_v baptism_n to_o be_v more_o spiritual_a profitable_a and_o edify_v when_o administer_v to_o man_n profess_v the_o faith_n then_o when_o apply_v to_o child_n therefore_o doubtless_o what_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o commandment_n in_o general_n mean_v the_o law_n which_o as_o he_o say_v make_v nothing_o perfect_a how_o that_o it_o be_v disannul_v for_o the_o weakness_n and_o unprofitableness_n of_o it_o hebr._n 7.18_o 19_o may_v well_o be_v understand_v to_o

low_a way_n and_o method_n of_o enjoy_v ordinance_n as_o be_v accommodate_v to_o the_o capacity_n of_o babe_n be_v not_o uncomely_a while_o the_o church_n be_v in_o the_o condition_n of_o child_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v gal._n 4.3_o no_o more_o than_o it_o be_v for_o a_o child_n while_o he_o be_v a_o child_n to_o speak_v and_o act_v as_o a_o child_n yet_o to_o retain_v this_o poor_a and_o low_a and_o barren_a way_n of_o administer_a a_o gospel-ordinance_n to_o infant_n now_o the_o church_n be_v raise_v both_o in_o capacity_n and_o administration_n to_o its_o manly_a condition_n be_v as_o incongruous_a and_o uncomely_a as_o it_o be_v for_o one_o still_o to_o speak_v and_o act_v as_o a_o child_n when_o he_o be_v become_v a_o man_n by_o this_o time_n i_o hope_v it_o appear_v that_o there_o be_v not_o the_o same_o reason_n why_o baptism_n administer_v to_o infant_n shall_v reach_v the_o end_n thereof_o as_o there_o be_v why_o circumcision_n though_o apply_v to_o infant_n former_o shall_v attain_v its_o end_n for_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o two_o ordinance_n differ_v the_o term_n of_o their_o administration_n differ_v and_o the_o respective_a capacity_n of_o the_o church_n then_o and_o the_o church_n now_o differ_v and_o according_a to_o that_o rule_n in_o logic_n where_o the_o thing_n themselves_o differ_v there_o the_o reason_n of_o those_o thing_n differ_v also_o argum._n iii_o 3._o my_o next_o argument_n shall_v be_v take_v from_o the_o different_a nature_n of_o the_o two_o ministration_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n as_o render_v infant-baptism_n in_o that_o precise_a consideration_n of_o it_o as_o apply_v to_o infant_n disagreeable_a to_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o withal_o more_o correspondent_a with_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o law_n therefore_o i_o thus_o further_o argue_v if_o infant-baptism_n be_v disagreeable_a to_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n than_o infant_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v baptize_v the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v because_o so_o far_o as_o either_o this_o or_o any_o other_o way_n or_o practice_n do_v comply_v with_o the_o legal_a ministration_n and_o disagree_v with_o the_o evangelical_n so_o far_o it_o do_v cross_a or_o oppose_v the_o design_n of_o god_n in_o change_v the_o ministration_n of_o the_o law_n for_o that_o of_o the_o gospel_n and_o consequent_o carry_v in_o it_o a_o spirit_n of_o antipathy_n against_o the_o very_a spirit_n of_o the_o gospel_n ministration_n this_o if_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_o evident_a of_o itself_o may_v receive_v abundant_a confirmation_n from_o such_o scripture_n as_o these_o and_o what_o may_v fair_o and_o plain_o be_v deduce_v from_o they_o joh._n 4.23_o 24._o 2_o cor._n 3.6_o gal._n 4.9_o col._n 2.8_o 17._o heb._n 7.18_o 19_o &_o 8.6_o 7._o &_o 9.9_o 10_o 11._o &_o 10.1_o but_o i_o presume_v of_o every_o man_n plenary_a satisfaction_n as_o to_o this_o therefore_o i_o proceed_v but_o infant-baptism_n be_v disagreeable_a to_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n assumption_n assumption_n 1._o the_o truth_n hereof_o in_o the_o first_o place_n be_v conspicuous_a and_o perceptible_a by_o what_o have_v be_v make_v good_a in_o our_o former_a argument_n for_o there_o we_o prove_v baptism_n as_o administer_v to_o infant_n less_o edify_a as_o to_o the_o several_a end_n of_o it_o then_o when_o administer_v unto_o believer_n and_o if_o less_o edify_a than_o the_o more_o suitable_a and_o conformable_a to_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v a_o ministration_n of_o less_o light_n and_o edification_n and_o to_o the_o same_o proportion_n disproportionate_a to_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v a_o ministration_n of_o a_o great_a light_n and_o a_o more_o rich_a edification_n 2._o i_o may_v in_o the_o second_o place_n well_o suppose_v infant-baptism_n to_o savour_v strong_o of_o the_o legal_a ministration_n because_o the_o principal_a argument_n produce_v in_o defence_n thereof_o be_v such_o as_o do_v arise_v out_o of_o and_o be_v deduct_v from_o the_o example_n of_o infant-circumcision_n a_o principal_a part_n of_o the_o legal_a ministration_n and_o from_o that_o analogy_n and_o proportion_n that_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v between_o they_o and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o likewise_o because_o such_o argument_n
