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

the_o posterity_n of_o baptize_v person_n &_o the_o jew_n &_o gentile_n in_o the_o apostle_n time_n be_v not_o so_o therefore_o we_o need_v not_o assume_v baptism_n in_o our_o entrance_n into_o the_o

to_o put_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o apostolic_a constitution_n of_o church_n &_o our_o constitute_v of_o they_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o person_n to_o be_v admit_v into_o the_o church_n &_o
