A86328 The foundation of the font discovered to the view of all that desire to behold it. And, the baptizing of men and women when they believe (in rivers and fountains) proved to be a standing ordinance in the Church of Cchrist to the end of the world; by plain Scripture-proof. In answer to Mr. Cook's Font uncovered, for infant-baptism; and Mr. Baxter's Plain Scripture-proof for infants church-membership and baptism. With a word sometimes upon occasion to Mr. Hall's Font-guarded; which is more fully answered by Thomas Collyer. By Henry Haggar, a servant of Christ, and the congregations of his saints.

4_o that_o those_o baptize_v believer_n be_v after_o to_o be_v teach_v to_o observe_v all_o other_o thing_n whatsoever_o christ_n have_v command_v his_o apostle_n to_o teach_v they_o 5_o to_o this_o

with_o you_o always_o even_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n but_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n be_v not_o yet_o therefore_o christ_n be_v still_o with_o those_o baptize_v believer_n which_o do_v thus_o walk_v thus_o have_v i_o show_v the_o order_n of_o the_o word_n as_o they_o be_v speak_v by_o the_o lord_n himself_o i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o the_o example_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o see_v whether_o they_o do_v act_n according_o or_o whether_o they_o baptize_v child_n as_o well_o as_o believe_a man_n and_o woman_n or_o whether_o john_n the_o baptist_n do_v baptize_v any_o

may_v be_v bear_v with_o and_o they_o which_o cry_v it_o down_o as_o antichristian_a superstition_n and_o man_n tradition_n may_v be_v to_o blame_v now_o therefore_o to_o the_o word_n and_o
reign_v upon_o a_o multitude_n of_o person_n in_o london_n or_o elsewhere_o that_o never_o be_v dip_v in_o cold_a water_n let_v he_o or_o any_o man_n deny_v if_o they_o can_v now_o if_o mr._n baxter_n

a_o good_a tree_n by_o the_o fruit_n he_o bring_v forth_o if_o his_o intention_n seem_v in_o his_o own_o eye_n to_o be_v good_a and_o that_o he_o aim_v hereby_o to_o undelude_v some_o soul_n and_o

not_o of_o his_o judgement_n in_o that_o for_o i_o believe_v it_o be_v his_o weakness_n but_o then_o mr._n baxter_n say_v we_o can_v agree_v among_o ourselves_o and_o therefore_o people_n have_v no_o reason_n to_o believe_v we_o i_o answer_v we_o do_v not_o desire_v people_n to_o believe_v we_o if_o we_o do_v agree_v never_o so_o well_o but_o to_o search_v the_o scripture_n to_o see_v whether_o the_o thing_n we_o speak_v be_v so_o or_o no_o like_o the_o noble_a berean_o act_n 17.11_o and_o therefore_o to_o believe_v we_o will_v not_o have_v they_o hang_v out_o of_o the_o way_n because_o they_o believe_v not_o we_o as_o mr_n baxter_n will_v have_v we_o because_o we_o believe_v not_o he_o but_o we_o know_v the_o wheat_n and_o tare_n must_v grow_v together_o in_o the_o field_n which_o be_v the_o world_n until_o the_o harvest_n according_a to_o the_o commandment_n of_o christ_n 2._o what_o if_o we_o do_v not_o agree_v together_o in_o every_o thing_n do_v it_o follow_v therefore_o that_o the_o truth_n must_v not_o be_v believe_v and_o practise_v i_o hope_v not_o for_o its_o easy_a to_o prove_v that_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o first_o church_n do_v differ_v in_o their_o judgement_n although_o it_o be_v not_o their_o wisdom_n nor_o yet_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n when_o one_o be_v of_o paul_n and_o another_o of_o apollo_n and_o another_o of_o cephas_n and_o another_o of_o christ_n 1_o cor._n 1.12_o etc._n etc._n and_o i_o believe_v that_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n be_v not_o of_o one_o mind_n when_o the_o contention_n grow_v so_o sharp_a between_o they_o that_o they_o part_v and_o walk_v no_o more_o together_o act_v 15.39_o and_o likewise_o paul_n and_o peter_n when_o paul_n withstand_v he_o to_o the_o face_n 3._o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n he_o tell_v we_o of_o this_o because_o mr._n baxter_n and_o his_o brethren_n the_o minister_n of_o england_n agree_v so_o well_o do_v not_o one_o hold_v for_o baptism_n with_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o another_o against_o it_o for_o baptism_n in_o a_o font_n and_o another_o in_o a_o basin_n one_o for_o baptise_v child_n of_o believer_n only_o and_o other_o for_o the_o baptise_v of_o all_o one_o for_o rail_n and_o bow_v at_o the_o altar_n and_o other_o against_o it_o one_o for_o the_o common-prayer-book_n and_o other_o for_o the_o scotch_a directory_n nay_o do_v not_o they_o persecute_v one_o another_o to_o prison_n banishment_n even_o death_n itself_o sometime_o if_o mr._n baxter_n argument_n be_v good_a then_o let_v all_o people_n take_v good_a heed_n how_o they_o believe_v he_o and_o his_o brethren_n and_o so_o i_o desire_v they_o may_v do_v however_o except_o they_o bring_v plain_a scripture-proofe_n then_o mr._n baxter_n have_v do_v in_o his_o book_n for_o infant_n church-member-ship_n and_o baptism_n the_o next_o remarkable_a thing_n of_o mr._n baxter_n be_v deny_v of_o dip_v of_o believer_n to_o be_v the_o custom_n of_o the_o church_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n and_o he_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o give_v the_o scripture_n the_o lie_n before_o all_o man_n say_v it_o be_v not_o prove_v by_o any_o answ_n and_o why_o be_v it_o not_o prove_v i_o pray_v it_o may_v be_v because_o our_o translator_n have_v not_o put_v the_o word_n baptise_v into_o english_a and_o call_v it_o dip_v therefore_o he_o will_v not_o grant_v it_o but_o yet_o i_o question_v not_o the_o prove_v of_o it_o by_o the_o scripture_n notwithstanding_o his_o subtle_a evasion_n of_o the_o truth_n say_v they_o may_v well_o be_v say_v to_o go_v down_o into_o the_o water_n because_o the_o country_n be_v mountainous_a to_o which_o i_o answer_v if_o this_o be_v all_o that_o mr._n baxter_n have_v to_o prove_v it_o be_v not_o dip_v in_o those_o day_n i_o think_v i_o have_v more_o to_o prove_v it_o be_v dip_v and_o first_o i_o shall_v take_v what_o mr._n baxter_n and_o his_o brethren_n have_v grant_v i_o for_o mr._n baxter_n in_o his_o 135._o page_n say_v the_o word_n signify_v as_o well_o to_o wash_v as_o to_o dip_v so_o that_o by_o his_o own_o word_n it_o signify_v dip_v as_o well_o as_o wash_v and_o in_o the_o catechism_n make_v by_o the_o learned_a of_o the_o land_n when_o they_o question_v what_o be_v the_o outward_a form_n in_o baptism_n their_o own_o answer_n be_v water_n wherein_o the_o person_n baptize_v be_v dip_v etc._n etc._n thus_o much_o as_o paul_n say_v to_o the_o athenians_n act_n 17.28_o their_o own_o poet_n confess_v from_o whence_o i_o argue_v thus_o if_o the_o word_n do_v signify_v dip_v as_o well_o as_o wash_v than_o they_o can_v no_o more_o blame_v we_o for_o practise_v dip_v than_o we_o may_v blame_v they_o for_o practise_v wash_n second_o if_o the_o word_n signify_v dip_v and_o wash_v one_o as_o well_o as_o another_o as_o mr._n baxter_n and_o other_o say_v it_o do_v then_o how_o be_v they_o to_o be_v blame_v that_o do_v neither_o but_o only_o sprinkle_v a_o few_o drop_n of_o water_n upon_o the_o face_n of_o a_o child_n for_o if_o the_o word_n signify_v both_o dip_v and_o wash_v and_o sprinkle_v be_v neither_o dip_v nor_o wash_v than_o they_o have_v delude_v the_o people_n all_o this_o while_n and_o at_o left_a there_o quarter_n of_o the_o people_n of_o this_o nation_n be_v still_o unbaptise_v and_o what_o a_o horrible_a thing_n be_v this_o that_o a_o whole_a nation_n almost_o shall_v thus_o be_v deceive_v by_o a_o company_n of_o learned_a self-seeking_a man_n who_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v eye_n to_o the_o blind_a and_o foot_n to_o the_o lame_a and_o to_o teach_v other_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o deceive_v and_o as_o yet_o have_v not_o teach_v themselves_o three_o if_o the_o word_n signify_v both_o wash_n and_o dip_v than_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v wash_v by_o dip_v or_o wet_v all_o over_o for_o who_o can_v wash_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o wet_a as_o for_o mr._n baxters_n objection_n that_o christ_n say_v you_o need_v not_o but_o wash_v the_o sit_fw-mi and_o you_o be_v clean_o every_o whit_n i_o answer_v if_o christ_n have_v speak_v that_o about_o baptism_n as_o he_o do_v about_o wash_v the_o disciple_n foot_n to_o teach_v they_o humility_n it_o have_v be_v a_o

foot_n do_v show_v it_o as_o well_o as_o if_o they_o have_v wash_v their_o whole_a body_n but_o now_o christ_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o baptise_v believer_n mar._n 16.16_o he_o do_v not_o say_v he_o

follow_v that_o the_o river_n enon_n be_v no_o big_a in_o no_o place_n than_o it_o be_v where_o the_o traveller_n can_v almost_o step_v over_o be_v there_o not_o many_o river_n in_o england_n that_o

have_v much_o water_n in_o another_o place_n though_o but_o a_o little_a where_o the_o traveller_n be_v further_o he_o say_v the_o jailor_n in_o the_o night_n in_o his_o house_n be_v baptize_v but_o

he_o say_v this_o be_v to_o beg_v the_o question_n nay_o he_o say_v he_o have_v show_v and_o be_v a_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o god_n way_n answ_n 1._o if_o he_o have_v show_v any_o thing_n already_o in_o these_o six_o argument_n which_o do_v prove_v baptise_v of_o believer_n not_o to_o be_v god_n way_n i_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o reader_n to_o judge_v when_o he_o have_v consider_v his_o

show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o god_n way_n by_o which_o the_o reader_n may_v take_v notice_n that_o mr._n baxter_n be_v conscious_a to_o himself_o that_o he_o have_v not_o yet_o prove_v it_o to_o any_o

by_o his_o own_o confession_n it_o seem_v he_o have_v not_o prove_v it_o yet_o 2._o he_o say_v god_n must_v not_o be_v temp_v this_o be_v the_o devil_n trick_n to_o have_v draw_v christ_n under_o

in_o be_v never_o the_o way_n of_o god_n but_o baptise_v man_n and_o woman_n when_o they_o do_v believe_v have_v be_v and_o be_v the_o way_n of_o god_n act._n 8.12_o again_o whereas_o you_o say_v the_o devil_n tempt_v christ_n by_o pretend_v the_o scripture_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a he_o do_v so_o but_o there_o be_v no_o scripture_n that_o say_v cast_v thyself_o down_o nor_o yet_o that_o say_v he_o shall_v keep_v thou_o at_o any_o time_n as_o i_o have_v show_v you_o already_o at_o large_a in_o answer_n to_o your_o ten_o position_n and_o so_o likewise_o when_o you_o tempt_v man_n and_o woman_n to_o baptize_v their_o little_a child_n you_o also_o pretend_v scripture_n but_o you_o have_v none_o that_o say_v they_o shall_v or_o ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v nor_o any_o scripture_n that_o show_v that_o ever_o they_o be_v baptize_v in_o all_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o i_o well_o remember_v how_o angry_a you_o be_v with_o we_o in_o your_o 10_o position_n for_o ask_v you_o for_o a_o scripture_n to_o prove_v baptism_n of_o infant_n call_v of_o we_o bruit_n beast_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o who_o practice_n be_v most_o like_a the_o tempter_n you_o or_o we_o i_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o impartial_a reader_n to_o judge_v 3._o you_o say_v we_o may_v have_v say_v to_o the_o disciple_n that_o if_o it_o be_v god_n command_v to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n than_o they_o need_v not_o to_o rub_v the_o ear_n of_o corn_n for_o god_n can_v sustain_v they_o without_o answ_n so_o we_o may_v if_o it_o have_v be_v god_n command_v so_o to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n as_o not_o to_o eat_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n but_o it_o be_v not_o for_o they_o may_v eat_v and_o do_v eat_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n exod._n 16.22_o 23_o 24_o 25._o although_o they_o be_v not_o to_o kindle_v

it_o be_v a_o duty_n yet_o when_o it_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o a_o great_a duty_n it_o be_v at_o any_o time_n sinful_a for_o it_o be_v always_o a_o sin_n to_o prefer_v a_o less_o duty_n before_o a_o great_a but_o the_o duty_n of_o self-preservation_n be_v a_o moral_a duty_n and_o baptise_v be_v but_o positive_a therefore_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o prefer_v it_o before_o self-preservation_n answ_n now_o i_o hope_v mr._n baxter_n have_v lay_v himself_o open_a to_o
they_o be_v so_o when_o he_o have_v leave_v they_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o learned_a priest_n and_o ruler_n as_o appear_v act._n 4.13_o thus_o all_o man_n may_v see_v how_o contrary_a the_o

for_o the_o perfect_a of_o his_o work_n but_o now_o there_o be_v none_o such_o therefore_o man_n must_v get_v ability_n by_o humane_a learning_n answ_n this_o be_v a_o gross_a mistake_n for_o we_o
