A96995	The covenants plea for infants: or, The covenant of free grace, pleading the divine right of Christian infants unto the seale of holy baptisme. 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. Very seasonable for weake consciences in these unsettled times of schisme and apostacie. By Thomas Wynell minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

of_o the_o pagan_n unto_o which_o pagan_n god_n have_v not_o commit_v his_o oracle_n nor_o put_v they_o under_o his_o seal_n but_o go_v on_o and_o we_o will_v follow_v you_o anabaptist_n if_o you_o

command_v they_o to_o do_v in_o their_o ordinary_n and_o pastoral_a ministration_n and_o yet_o your_o strict_a urge_n of_o the_o letter_n will_v necessary_o redound_v to_o this_o and_o so_o every_o ordinary_a minister_n must_v plant_v foundation_n have_v a_o unerring_a spirit_n deliver_v a_o new_a canon_n of_o divine_a faith_n and_o worship_n and_o confirm_v their_o doctrine_n by_o miracle_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o for_o want_v of_o distinguish_v you_o bring_v your_o self_n into_o strait_n and_o puzzle_v the_o simple_a which_o can_v discern_v the_o depth_n of_o satan_n in_o you_o and_o whereas_o you_o intimate_v that_o the_o cause_n of_o anabaptist_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o christ_n you_o therein_o speak_v blasphemy_n for_o your_o cause_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o not_o the_o cause_n of_o christ_n and_o you_o corrupt_v and_o adulterate_a every_o text_n of_o scripture_n that_o you_o allege_v for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o your_o tenant_n which_o be_v not_o a_o note_n of_o christ_n disciple_n but_o a_o character_n of_o the_o devil_n factour_n anabaptist_n further_o you_o affirm_v in_o your_o first_o sermon_n that_o whatsoever_o be_v set_v up_o as_o a_o

from_o christ_n therefore_o may_v not_o be_v set_v up_o as_o a_o ordinance_n answer_n your_o whole_a trade_n lie_v in_o shift_v and_o shuffle_n and_o i_o think_v you_o as_o well_o understand_v what_o i_o say_v as_o your_o a._n r._n understand_v greek_a but_o as_o that_o grammarlesse_a ass_n will_v wipe_v off_o a_o just_a aspersion_n that_o be_v cast_v upon_o you_o as_o if_o no_o scholar_n will_v countenance_v your_o cause_n or_o make_v a_o great_a flourish_n with_o his_o greek_a and_o yet_o scarce_o ever_o learn_v his_o greek_a alphabet_n so_o you_o make_v a_o great_a flourish_n with_o your_o commission_n and_o warrant_n as_o if_o in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n you_o will_v convent_n the_o whole_a world_n before_o your_o tribunal_n and_o every_o truth_n that_o minister_n do_v utter_v must_v speak_v the_o language_n of_o a_o anabaptist_n what_o if_o i_o affirm_v that_o whatsoever_o be_v to_o be_v set_v up_o as_o a_o ordinance_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n must_v have_v its_o warrant_n from_o christ_n do_v this_o warrant_n your_o inference_n viz._n baptise_v of_o infant_n have_v no_o express_a warrant_n from_o christ_n therefore_o no_o warrant_n from_o christ_n at_o all_o your_o speech_n imply_v as_o if_o you_o can_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o there_o be_v warrant_n from_o christ_n for_o baptise_v of_o infant_n of_o christian_n but_o you_o will_v shift_v off_o the_o matter_n by_o call_v for_o a_o express_a warrant_n i_o think_v that_o a_o general_a proposition_n have_v be_v enough_o to_o warrant_v its_o particular_n as_o every_o man_n be_v a_o reasonable_a creature_n ergò_fw-la a_o anabaptist_n be_v a_o reasonable_a creature_n but_o haply_o though_o the_o antecedent_n be_v true_a yet_o the_o consequent_a will_v not_o hold_v so_o likewise_o all_o the_o child_n of_o the_o church_n be_v baptize_v or_o to_o be_v baptize_v ergò_fw-la infant_n of_o baptize_v parent_n be_v baptize_v or_o to_o be_v baptize_v this_o consequence_n will_v hold_v with_o all_o reasonable_a man_n but_o not_o with_o anabaptist_n ergo_fw-la anabaptist_n be_v no_o reasonable_a man_n and_o thus_o in_o all_o your_o discourse_n you_o do_v nothing_o but_o toy_n and_o bassle_v however_o i_o think_v your_o disputation_n to_o be_v as_o good_a as_o your_o preach_n and_o far_o more_o warrantable_a i_o say_v that_o in_o that_o all_o power_n be_v give_v unto_o christ_n by_o virtue_n of_o his_o glorious_a resurrection_n therefore_o we_o be_v to_o set_v he_o up_o as_o the_o lord_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o as_o our_o king_n and_o lawgiver_n and_o so_o yield_v unto_o he_o divine_a worship_n and_o honour_n obey_v he_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o he_o shall_v say_v unto_o we_o and_o all_o this_o be_v wholesome_a and_o good_a but_o how_o well_o this_o do_v warrant_v your_o inference_n let_v all_o man_n judge_v anabaptist_n if_o you_o ask_v what_o become_v of_o infant_n in_o the_o state_n of_o infancy_n if_o they_o die_v before_o baptism_n which_o be_v a_o question_n that_o many_o do_v ask_v and_o therefore_o we_o think_v good_a to_o answer_v it_o thus_o that_o we_o must_v commend_v they_o to_o god_n free_a election_n and_o extraordinary_a mean_n of_o salvation_n for_o a_o child_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o the_o ordinary_a dinary_a mean_n as_o the_o world_n and_o sacrament_n now_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o faith_n come_v by_o hear_v and_o a_o infant_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o hear_v so_o as_o to_o understand_v the_o word_n and_o so_o consequent_o not_o of_o faith_n wrought_v by_o the_o ordinary_a mean_n and_o without_o faith_n we_o can_v please_v god_n neither_o can_v we_o be_v save_v so_o then_o by_o the_o ordinary_a mean_n that_o god_n have_v appoint_v to_o bring_v man_n to_o salvation_n we_o can_v judge_v infant_n by_o this_o mean_n to_o be_v save_v but_o child_n be_v and_o may_v be_v save_v and_o therefore_o we_o leave_v they_o to_o god_n extraordinary_a mean_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o heaven_n answer_n here_o you_o look_v upon_o i_o as_o a_o man_n confute_v in_o all_o his_o tenant_n and_o stand_v almost_o mute_a and_o have_v but_o a_o question_n or_o two_o to_o propound_v unto_o his_o antagonist_n even_o ready_a to_o subscribe_v unto_o the_o contradictory_n of_o his_o own_o conclusion_n you_o have_v sit_v in_o commission_n upon_o i_o and_o find_v matter_n very_o foul_a on_o my_o side_n by_o sound_a evidence_n of_o scripture_n and_o demonstrative_a reason_n you_o have_v answer_v all_o my_o argument_n and_o more_o you_o will_v if_o i_o have_v allege_v they_o and_o now_o to_o prevent_v future_a scruple_n that_o may_v arise_v in_o my_o conscience_n and_o to_o confirm_v i_o in_o your_o express_a way_n of_o pious_a sacrilege_n you_o assoil_v another_o doubt_n which_o may_v deter_v weak_a conscience_n from_o your_o apostolical_a practice_n the_o question_n which_o here_o you_o unanswerable_o resolve_v and_o which_o many_o have_v propound_v unto_o you_o be_v what_o become_v of_o infant_n that_o die_v unbaptise_v and_o here_o you_o answer_v that_o we_o must_v commend_v such_o infant_n to_o god_n free_a election_n and_o extraordinary_a mean_n of_o salvation_n and_o your_o reason_n for_o this_o be_v very_o pregnant_a namely_o because_o such_o child_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o the_o ordinary_a mean_n well_o you_o say_v that_o such_o child_n be_v save_v by_o god_n free_a election_n as_o the_o cause_n and_o for_o the_o mean_n they_o be_v extraordinary_a but_o what_o those_o extraordinary_a mean_n be_v we_o be_v as_o far_o to_o seek_v as_o if_o you_o have_v say_v nothing_o i_o think_v they_o have_v be_v save_v by_o christ_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n as_o the_o internal_a ordinary_a mean_n of_o salvation_n appoint_v of_o the_o father_n for_o the_o salvation_n of_o his_o elect_a but_o i_o pray_v be_v such_o infant_n as_o you_o speak_v off_o save_v by_o regeneration_n or_o without_o regeneration_n if_o without_o regeneration_n such_o infant_n be_v save_v and_o go_v to_o heaven_n than_o flesh_n and_o blood_n may_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n person_n without_o regenerate_a grace_n and_o so_o person_n in_o their_o natural_a estate_n may_v be_v glorify_v among_o the_o saint_n in_o light_n if_o by_o regeneration_n than_o child_n be_v capable_a of_o regeneration_n in_o their_o infancy_n and_o often_o be_v regenerate_v in_o their_o infancy_n for_o they_o often_o die_v in_o their_o infancy_n and_o go_v to_o heaven_n by_o your_o own_o confession_n now_o if_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o regeneration_n in_o their_o infancy_n than_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o baptism_n the_o seal_n of_o regeneration_n in_o their_o infancy_n and_o hence_o i_o form_v this_o enthymeme_n viz._n child_n of_o baptize_v parent_n be_v regenerable_a in_o their_o infancy_n
