A82035	A declaration against anabaptists: to stop the prosecution fo [sic] their errours, falsly pretended to be a vindication of the royall commission of King Jesus, as they call it. Briefly and fully answering all their allegations, and clearly proving the anabaptisticall doctrine to be against the glory of God, the honour of Christ and his church, against the covenant of grace, and against the word of God, and the priviledges of the church made over to them by promise, and also against the solemne league and covenant of the three kingdomes. In answer to a book, by Francis Cornwall, presented to the House of Commons, on Friday last, for which he is committed.		1644 (1644)	Wing D520; Thomason E12_9; ESTC R4990	5,983	8

oppose_v the_o baptise_v of_o infant_n and_o your_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o there_o be_v a_o precept_n from_o god_n to_o enjoin_v circumcision_n gen_n 17.11_o and_o a_o example_n gen._n 24.4_o but_o neither_o precept_n nor_o example_n in_o scripture_n for_o baptise_v of_o infant_n to_o answer_v this_o in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o precept_n out_o of_o the_o

yea_o and_o to_o the_o child_n of_o those_o that_o be_v afar_o off_o even_o as_o many_o as_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n shall_v call_v and_o for_o that_o which_o you_o speak_v of_o dip_v or_o sprinkle_v it_o much_o matter_n not_o so_o there_o be_v the_o external_a element_n which_o be_v water_n act_v 10.47_o and_o there_o be_v likewise_o a_o example_n act_v 2._o in_o the_o infancy_n of_o the_o
