A74998	Some baptismal abuses briefly discovered. Or A cordial endeavour to reduce the administration and use of baptism, to its primitive purity; in two parts. The first part, tending to disprove the lawfulness of infant baptism. The second part, tending to prove it necessary for persons to be baptized after they believe, their infant baptism, or any pre-profession of the Gospel notwithstanding. As also, discovering the disorder and irregularity that is in mixt communion of persons baptized, with such as are unbaptized, in church-fellowship. By William Allen.

be_v know_v without_o such_o a_o profession_n of_o faith_n as_o it_o may_v in_o the_o case_n of_o infant_n that_o then_o such_o a_o profession_n will_v not_o be_v necessary_a in_o order_n to_o such_o a_o admission_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v likewise_o 1._o that_o a_o profession_n of_o faith_n in_o such_o person_n to_o render_v they_o admittable_a to_o baptism_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o inform_v those_o that_o admit_v they_o touch_v god_n love_v to_o they_o in_o any_o respect_n whatsoever_o for_o this_o may_v be_v know_v without_o such_o a_o profession_n but_o in_o relation_n to_o their_o know_v they_o to_o be_v in_o the_o love_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n in_o that_o particular_a respect_n and_o determinate_a consideration_n which_o render_v man_n immediate_o capable_a of_o baptism_n in_o this_o respect_n such_o a_o profession_n of_o faith_n be_v necessary_a because_o without_o it_o the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o they_o upon_o such_o term_n be_v not_o knowable_a and_o consequent_o they_o not_o admittable_a to_o baptism_n as_o be_v before_o prove_v by_o which_o infant_n as_o touch_v their_o capability_n of_o baptism_n be_v clear_o exclude_v 2._o the_o profession_n of_o faith_n be_v necessary_a in_o the_o case_n in_o hand_n for_o other_o cause_n then_o mere_o to_o inform_v those_o that_o admit_v person_n to_o baptism_n of_o their_o be_v in_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n in_o general_n who_o they_o do_v admit_v and_o that_o be_v to_o let_v they_o know_v that_o such_o be_v capable_a of_o the_o several_a end_n and_o benefit_n of_o baptism_n and_o so_o meet_v for_o baptism_n itself_o because_o unless_o they_o have_v reason_n to_o conceive_v that_o they_o have_v faith_n they_o can_v have_v no_o reason_n to_o conceive_v they_o in_o a_o present_a capacity_n of_o the_o end_n and_o benefit_n of_o baptism_n and_o so_o not_o of_o baptism_n itself_o in_o as_o much_o as_o these_o be_v suspend_v upon_o faith_n as_o have_v already_o be_v evince_v whereas_o in_o the_o second_o place_n it_o be_v say_v that_o it_o be_v upon_o this_o ground_n viz._n of_o god_n love_v he_o that_o christ_n himself_o be_v capable_a of_o baptism_n and_o not_o his_o faith_n in_o as_o much_o as_o he_o have_v no_o such_o faith_n as_o be_v require_v of_o man_n to_o render_v they_o capable_a of_o baptism_n to_o wit_n a_o faith_n in_o god_n touch_v the_o remission_n of_o sin_n through_o christ_n and_o that_o yet_o christ_n do_v not_o receive_v baptism_n upon_o any_o term_n extraordinary_a but_o upon_o the_o same_o term_n as_o other_o do_v in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v in_o conformity_n to_o a_o stand_a law_n of_o righteousness_n common_a to_o other_o as_o well_o as_o he_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o reason_n be_v build_v upon_o a_o mistake_a ground_n as_o suppose_v christ_n to_o have_v no_o such_o faith_n as_o may_v render_v he_o capable_a of_o baptism_n at_o least_o such_o as_o be_v require_v of_o other_o man_n in_o order_n thereunto_o for_o christ_n have_v the_o same_o faith_n which_o be_v require_v of_o all_o other_o person_n in_o that_o case_n for_o what_o faith_n be_v require_v of_o other_o man_n to_o render_v they_o capable_a of_o baptism_n save_o this_o viz._n to_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o so_o when_o the_o eunuch_n demand_v of_o philip_n say_v see_v here_o be_v water_n what_o hinder_v i_o to_o be_v baptize_v then_o philip_n answer_v and_o say_v if_o thou_o believe_v with_o all_o thy_o heart_n thou_o may_v and_o he_o answer_v philip_n again_o and_o say_v i_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n upon_o which_o confession_n philip_n baptize_v he_o as_o count_v it_o summary_o to_o contain_v the_o expression_n of_o that_o believe_v with_o all_o the_o heart_n which_o he_o before_o have_v set_v as_o the_o condition_n of_o his_o admission_n thereunto_o and_o indeed_o be_v none_o other_o than_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o common_a form_n of_o believer_n confession_n mat._n 14.33_o joh._n 1.49_o &_o 6.69_o &_o 11.27_o &_o 20.31_o 1_o joh._n 5.5_o act_n 9.20_o and_o i_o hope_v none_o that_o own_o the_o scripture_n will_v deny_v christ_n himself_o to_o have_v this_o faith_n in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v his_o own_o doctrine_n which_o he_o teach_v joh._n 10.36_o &_o 19.7_o matt._n 27.43_o the_o truth_n be_v christ_n himself_o have_v a_o faith_n in_o god_n his_o father_n heb._n 2.13_o psal_n 22.8_o with_o mat._n 27.43_o and_o do_v continue_v in_o his_o father_n love_n in_o the_o way_n of_o obedience_n to_o his_o command_n as_o other_o the_o child_n of_o god_n do_v joh._n 15.10_o and_o therefore_o well_o may_v it_o be_v say_v indeed_o that_o christ_n receive_v baptism_n upon_o the_o same_o term_n as_o other_o do_v at_o least_o in_o several_a respect_n and_o that_o in_o conformity_n to_o the_o same_o stand_a law_n of_o righteousness_n to_o wit_n the_o institution_n of_o god_n common_a to_o other_o as_o well_o as_o to_o he_o for_o doubtless_o this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n hereabout_o viz._n that_o at_o what_o time_n man_n undertake_v public_o to_o profess_v and_o assert_v the_o gospel_n unto_o the_o world_n in_o word_n and_o deed_n then_o and_o at_o that_o time_n they_o be_v to_o take_v up_o the_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n as_o the_o example_n of_o person_n who_o baptism_n be_v record_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n do_v abundant_o witness_v and_o therefore_o christ_n himself_o when_o he_o also_o be_v come_v forth_o into_o the_o world_n to_o profess_v and_o publish_v the_o gospel_n which_o he_o have_v receive_v from_o the_o father_n he_o also_o make_v a_o dedication_n of_o himself_o unto_o this_o service_n by_o the_o solemnity_n of_o baptism_n as_o other_o do_v and_o aught_o to_o do_v and_o we_o may_v hence_o well_o frame_v a_o argument_n against_o infant-baptism_n in_o stead_n of_o wrest_v it_o as_o a_o witness_n for_o it_o thus_o if_o christ_n jesus_n his_o be_v baptize_v at_o that_o season_n and_o upon_o that_o occasion_n when_o he_o begin_v to_o profess_v and_o publish_v the_o gospel_n and_o not_o before_o be_v in_o conformity_n to_o a_o law_n of_o righteousness_n in_o this_o behalf_n then_o those_o that_o be_v baptize_v who_o yet_o make_v no_o such_o profession_n as_o infant_n be_v be_v not_o baptize_v in_o conformity_n to_o that_o law_n of_o righteousness_n but_o christ_n jesus_n his_o be_v baptize_v at_o that_o season_n and_o upon_o that_o occasion_n when_o he_o begin_v to_o profess_v and_o publish_v the_o gospel_n and_o not_o before_o be_v in_o conformity_n to_o a_o law_n of_o righteousness_n in_o this_o behalf_n therefore_o those_o that_o be_v baptize_v as_o infant_n be_v who_o yet_o make_v no_o such_o profession_n be_v not_o baptize_v in_o conformity_n to_o that_o law_n of_o righteousness_n that_o which_o add_v weight_n to_o the_o minor_a proposition_n in_o this_o argument_n which_o i_o suppose_v be_v the_o only_a thing_n that_o will_v be_v question_v in_o it_o be_v this_o viz._n that_o christ_n his_o fulfil_n a_o law_n of_o righteousness_n in_o his_o baptism_n do_v not_o consist_v simple_o in_o his_o be_v baptize_v at_o any_o time_n but_o in_o conjunction_n with_o his_o baptism_n itself_o in_o his_o be_v baptize_v at_o such_o a_o time_n and_o upon_o such_o a_o occasion_n as_o that_o be_v when_o and_o wherein_o he_o begin_v to_o profess_v and_o publish_v the_o gospel_n for_o otherwise_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v think_v but_o that_o christ_n have_v a_o opportunity_n of_o be_v baptize_v long_o before_o and_o much_o soon_o than_o he_o be_v in_o as_o much_o as_o john_n have_v continue_v baptise_v a_o considerable_a space_n of_o time_n before_o christ_n come_v to_o to_o be_v baptize_v of_o he_o for_o john_n have_v travel_v much_o ground_n even_o all_o the_o country_n round_o about_o jordan_n both_o to_o preach_v and_o baptize_v which_o must_v needs_o take_v up_o much_o time_n especial_o consider_v the_o great_a multitude_n that_o be_v baptize_v of_o he_o even_o jerusalem_n and_o all_o judea_n and_o all_o the_o region_n round_o about_o jordan_n luk._n 3.3_o mat._n 3.5_o and_o as_o it_o shall_v seem_v after_o this_o or_o at_o least_o after_o a_o large_a progress_n herein_o make_v jesus_n christ_n be_v baptize_v also_o as_o appear_v by_o the_o order_n of_o the_o history_n of_o the_o evangelist_n now_o when_o all_o the_o people_n be_v baptize_v say_v luke_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o jesus_n also_o be_v baptize_v and_o pray_v etc._n etc._n luke_n 3.21_o now_o what_o may_v we_o conceive_v may_v be_v the_o reason_n why_o christ_n be_v not_o baptize_v rather_o with_o the_o first_o then_o with_o the_o last_o of_o the_o people_n certain_o it_o be_v not_o reasonable_a to_o conceive_v that_o it_o be_v because_o he_o have_v less_o zeal_n to_o fulfil_v this_o law_n of_o
