A12552	The character of the beast, or, The false constitution of the church discovered in certayne passages betwixt Mr. R. Clifton & Iohn Smyth, concerning true Christian baptisme of new creatures, or new borne babes in Christ, &nd false baptisme of infants borne after the flesh : referred to two propositions, 1. That infants are not to bee baptized, 2. That antichristians converted are to bee admitted into the true church by baptisme.	Smyth, John, d. 1612.	1609 (1609)	STC 22875; ESTC S991	85,221	80

all_o these_o particular_n the_o consequence_n of_o the_o argument_n be_v weak_a &_o insufficient_a but_o if_o you_o will_v make_v true_a consequent_n you_o must_v reason_n from_o the_o type_n to_o

must_v make_v all_o thing_n distinct_a &_o proportionable_a the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o as_o thus_o abraham_n the_o father_n of_o the_o carnal_a infant_n abraham_n the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a carnal_a abraham_n &_o his_o carnal_a seed_n carnal_o circumcise_v so_o faithful_a abraham_n &_o his_o faithful_a child_n spiritual_o circumcise_v the_o carnal_a infant_n of_o the_o old_a

the_o true_a proportion_n that_o you_o ought_v to_o have_v make_v if_o your_o argument_n have_v be_v good_a but_o let_v we_o see_v the_o reason_n of_o your_o consequence_n &_o the_o scripture_n you_o
