A77497	The doctrine and practice of paedobaptisme, asserted and vindicated. By a large and full improovement of some principall arguments for it, and a briefe resolution of such materiall objections as are made against it. Whereunto is annexed a briefe and plaine Enarration, both doctrinall and practicall, upon Mark 10.V.13.14.15.16. As it was some time since preached in the church of Great Yarmouth: now published for an antidote against those yet spreading errours of the times, Anabaptisme and Catabaptisme. / By Joh. Brinsley.	Brinsley, John, 1600-1665.	1645 (1645)	Wing B4712; Thomason E300_14; ESTC R200258	127,125	196

apostle_n 1_o cor._n 7._o where_o he_o tell_v we_o express_o that_o the_o child_n of_o holy_a holy_a and_o believe_a parent_n ay_o if_o but_o one_o of_o they_o be_v a_o believer_n be_v holy_a else_o

this_o text_n the_o papist_n unless_o he_o shut_v his_o eye_n can_v but_o see_v that_o child_n of_o believe_a parent_n may_v be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n though_o they_o die_v without_o

be_v the_o difference_n the_o anabaptist_n to_o evade_v the_o blow_n of_o this_o text_n take_v the_o former_a way_n understand_v the_o apostle_n there_o to_o speak_v only_o of_o a_o civil_a evasion_n

that_o place_n and_o for_o countenance_n of_o that_o interpretation_n they_o bring_v that_o text_n of_o the_o prophet_n malachy_n mal._n 2._o 15._o where_o the_o prophet_n tell_v we_o that_o at_o

shall_v be_v bear_v in_o lawful_a marriage_n and_o by_o that_o they_o interpret_v this_o text_n of_o the_o apostle_n now_o be_v your_o child_n holy_a i._o e._n legitimate_a lawful_o beget_v not_o spurious_a no_o bastard_n l●oc_fw-la to_o this_o we_o reply_v that_o this_o interpretation_n however_o it_o must_v be_v acknowledge_v to_o have_v some_o considerable_a advocate_n for_o it_o both_o ancient_a and_o modern_a yet_o it_o can_v be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o that_o place_n we_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o spend_v much_o time_n about_o it_o the_o error_n will_v soon_o

be_v say_v they_o else_o be_v they_o bastard_n but_o now_o they_o be_v legitimate_a now_o the_o former_a of_o these_o be_v not_o true_a viz._n that_o in_o case_n the_o unbelieved_a wife_n be_v not_o sanctify_v by_o the_o believe_a husband_n but_o both_o be_v unbeliever_n than_o their_o child_n shall_v be_v unclean_a i._n e._n bastard_n this_o be_v not_o true_a for_o the_o child_n of_o pagan_n where_o both_o parent_n be_v infidel_n yet_o be_v bear_v in_o lawful_a wedlock_n they_o be_v no_o more_o bastard_n than_o the_o child_n of_o christian_n be_v but_o be_v as_o legitimate_a and_o as_o free_v from_o civil_a uncleanness_n as_o any_o other_o so_o that_o whatever_o sense_n be_v put_v upon_o that_o place_n of_o the_o prophet_n malachy_n yet_o this_o can_v be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o place_n where_o he_o speak_v of_o a_o holiness_n that_o be_v peculiar_a to_o believer_n not_o common_a to_o infidel_n as_o well_o as_o they_o the_o case_n be_v clear_a to_o

they_o will_v tell_v we_o that_o parent_n paul_n in_o tell_v they_o their_o child_n be_v holy_a he_o mean_v no_o more_o but_o that_o they_o be_v sanctify_v unto_o they_o even_o as_o the_o unbelieved_a

to_o both_o parent_n the_o one_o be_v a_o unbeliever_n to_o 15._o who_o nothing_o be_v pure_a nothing_o holy_a beside_o that_o there_o be_v a_o broad_a difference_n between_o be_v sanctify_v to_o
