A27216	The coppie of a letter sent to a gentlevvoman one of the separation in Holland in answer to a letter of hers, written to her sister, being a member of one of those societies, commonly (though falsely) called the new Anabaptists in London, wherein are briefly set down their reasons against the baptizing of infants : together with the grounds of their denyall, of sprinkling water upon the face in any name whatsoever, to be baptisme : and them of the separation justly charged for not walking answerable to their owne principles / by R.B.

with_o ourselves_o to_o your_o judicious_a censure_n the_o grand_a argument_n of_o they_o in_o confidence_n of_o the_o strength_n of_o which_o they_o insult_v like_a unto_o goliath_n against_o the_o

here_o we_o humble_o ask_v what_o covenant_n it_o be_v they_o intend_v if_o the_o old_a covenant_n to_o the_o old_a covenant_n seal_v we_o send_v they_o if_o they_o say_v they_o be_v all_o within_o

as_o of_o one_o and_o to_o thy_o seed_n which_o be_v christ_n wherefore_o unless_o these_o person_n will_v run_v into_o manifest_a wickedness_n we_o may_v say_v blasphemy_n against_o god_n in_o make_v

the_o promise_n be_v but_o to_o abraham_n and_o to_o his_o seed_n which_o be_v christ_n and_o to_o those_o that_o be_v christ_n seed_n which_o to_o be_v be_v more_o than_o to_o be_v seed_n to_o they_o isa_n 53.10_o compare_v with_o rom._n 9.8_o and_o gal._n 3._o vlt._n their_o next_o hold_n be_v that_o of_o the_o apostle_n act._n 2.39_o for_o the_o promise_n be_v to_o you_o and_o to_o your_o

their_o seed_n but_o we_o here_o likewise_o expostulate_v in_o three_o particular_n first_o what_o that_o promise_n be_v second_o who_o these_o people_n be_v to_o who_o it_o be_v propose_v 〈◊〉_d the_o proposal_n of_o it_o three_o what_o be_v the_o extent_n and_o latitude_n of_o that_o promise_n the_o promise_n as_o be_v most_o plain_a in_o ver_fw-la 17._o and_o 33._o of_o that_o chapter_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n which_o god_n at_o this_o time_n pour_v out_o upon_o the_o disciple_n and_o peter_n in_o his_o speech_n hold_v out_o no_o more_o repent_v say_v he_o and_o be_v baptize_v every_o one_o of_o you_o for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o you_o shall_v receive_v the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n second_o it_o be_v no_o less_o plain_a &_o manifest_a that_o the_o person_n to_o who_o peter_n so_o speak_v be_v in_o his_o judgement_n as_o yet_o convert_v for_o all_o that_o he_o hear_v from_o they_o be_v what_o shall_v we_o do_v and_o we_o find_v the_o jailor_n go_v further_o in_o his_o expression_n and_o yet_o paul_n bid_v he_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n intimate_v that_o he_o not_o yet_o believe_v though_o he_o have_v make_v a_o further_a inquiry_n after_o salvation_n then_o these_o man_n the_o last_o thing_n propose_v be_v the_o extent_n of_o that_o promise_n what_o be_v might_n be_v the_o place_n itself_o we_o think_v in_o that_o particular_a be_v clear_a enough_o for_o peter_n exclamation_n must_v be_v consider_v even_o to_o as_o many_o as_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n shall_v call_v for_o to_o no_o more_o of_o they_o nor_o of_o their_o child_n nor_o of_o they_o a_o far_o off_o than_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n shall_v call_v do_v peter_n in_o any_o wise_a apply_v that_o promise_n if_o you_o object_v that_o he_o appli_v the_o promise_n there_o to_o no_o more_o of_o they_o a_o far_o off_o than_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n shall_v call_v but_o he_o appli_v it_o to_o they_o and_o to_o their_o child_n absolute_o without_o the_o reservation_n of_o be_v call_v of_o god_n etc._n etc._n we_o answer_v that_o if_o we_o take_v these_o at_o this_o time_n to_o be_v unbeliever_n as_o the_o truth_n be_v than_o who_o see_v not_o the_o consequence_n if_o we_o take_v they_o to_o be_v believer_n than_o all_o believer_n child_n must_v have_v the_o holy_a ghost_n though_o they_o never_o be_v call_v which_o who_o will_v own_o let_v they_o be_v believer_n or_o unbeliever_n it_o matter_n not_o much_o in_o the_o question_n in_o hand_n for_o they_o be_v jew_n and_o therefore_o be_v in_o opposition_n to_o the_o gentile_n who_o be_v there_o by_o your_o own_o judgement_n speak_v of_o as_o a_o far_o off_o and_o to_o those_o a_o far_o off_o as_o the_o objection_n yield_v yea_o and_o that_o text_n also_o belong_v not_o the_o promise_n but_o upon_o be_v call_v and_o thus_o be_v your_o child_n by_o your_o own_o grant_v exclude_v the_o promise_n till_o they_o be_v call_v the_o next_o hold_n they_o have_v be_v in_o 1_o cor._n 7.14_o which_o many_o strike_v at_o we_o wish_v you_o to_o consider_v that_o the_o same_o holiness_n of_o which_o the_o child_n partake_v be_v the_o unbelieving_a wife_n during_o her_o infidelity_n a_o partaker_n of_o and_o whether_o that_o be_v reasonable_o conclude_v that_o thence_o she_o may_v be_v baptise_a which_o yet_o will_v hold_v as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o we_o leave_v to_o you_o the_o opinion_n of_o those_o that_o deny_v election_n that_o hold_v free_a will_n and_o fall_v from_o grace_n etc._n etc._n we_o protest_v against_o and_o do_v abhor_v but_o because_o we_o write_v a_o
