A90658	A reply to a confutation of some grounds for infants baptisme: as also, concerning the form of a church, put forth against mee by one Thomas Lamb. Hereunto is added, a discourse of the verity and validity of infants baptisme, wherein I endeavour to clear it in it self: as also in the ministery administrating it, and the manner of administration, by sprinkling, and not dipping; with sundry other particulars handled herein. / By George Philips of Watertown in New England.	Phillips, George, 1593-1644.	1645 (1645)	Wing P2026; Thomason E287_4; ESTC R200088	141,673	168

the_o church_n a_o three_o reason_n i_o give_v as_o he_o say_v for_o i_o can_v remember_v i_o use_v a_o word_n of_o it_o be_v this_o that_o which_o be_v a_o adjunct_n to_o a_o thing_n can_v be_v the_o form_n of_o it_o but_o baptism_n be_v a_o adjunct_n of_o a_o church_n ergo._n to_o this_o he_o answer_v this_o be_v not_o against_o his_o question_n as_o he_o state_v it_o because_o that_o which_o be_v a_o adjunct_n may_v be_v a_o mean_n of_o form_v the_o thing_n to_o which_o it_o be_v adjoin_v and_o so_o baptism_n be_v reply_n first_o how_o he_o state_v his_o question_n be_v nothing_o to_o i_o his_o answer_n must_v be_v to_o the_o question_n as_o i_o state_v it_o see_v he_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o refute_v it_o in_o alter_v the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n therefore_o he_o show_v he_o have_v nothing_o to_o say_v against_o it_o as_o i_o set_v it_o down_o but_o second_o i_o grant_v a_o adjunct_n may_v be_v a_o mean_n of_o form_v the_o subject_n so_o as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o adjunct_n and_o without_o that_o adjunct_n the_o subject_n can_v not_o be_v so_o form_v and_o denominate_v as_o freedom_n be_v a_o adjunct_n to_o man_n and_o be_v necessary_a to_o make_v he_o be_v and_o name_v a_o free_a man_n but_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o make_v he_o a_o man_n he_o may_v be_v a_o man_n without_o it_o so_o baptism_n be_v necessary_a to_o form_v a_o church_n or_o member_n to_o be_v and_o name_v a_o baptize_v church_n and_o member_n but_o it_o concurre_v not_o therefore_o to_o make_v a_o church_n or_o member_n to_o be_v a_o church_n or_o member_n and_o therefore_o that_o form_n whereby_o it_o be_v and_o call_v a_o church_n or_o member_n arise_v from_o something_o else_o a_o subject_n may_v have_v twenty_o adjunct_n but_o not_o one_o nor_o all_o make_v it_o a_o subject_n that_o it_o be_v before_o the_o adjunct_n and_o without_o they_o a_o 4_o reason_n that_o which_o be_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n can_v be_v the_o form_n of_o the_o church_n but_o baptism_n be_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n ergo._n his_o answer_n be_v that_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n may_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o constitute_v and_o put_v the_o church_n into_o a_o outward_a visible_a form_n and_o refer_v to_o his_o five_o argument_n where_o he_o have_v speak_v something_o before_o reply_n he_o answer_v to_o neither_o proposition_n here_o that_o baptism_n be_v the_o seal_n of_o god_n outward_a covenant_n can_v be_v deny_v that_o baptism_n therefore_o can_v be_v the_o form_n of_o a_o visible_a church_n be_v evident_a as_o a_o seal_n can_v be_v the_o form_n of_o that_o place_n or_o honour_v which_o a_o man_n have_v by_o the_o king_n grant_v under_o writing_n it_o be_v the_o grant_n and_o contract_n that_o make_v the_o man_n to_o honour_v this_o state_n or_o that_o from_o the_o king_n and_o not_o the_o seal_n though_o the_o seal_n be_v useful_a and_o necessary_a so_o here_o baptism_n make_v not_o the_o church_n to_o be_v the_o church_n but_o it_o be_v add_v to_o god_n covenant_n make_v with_o the_o church_n before_o whereby_o it_o be_v a_o church_n and_o this_o seal_n add_v to_o the_o covenant_n make_v for_o confirmation_n without_o which_o the_o state_n will_v be_v the_o same_o though_o not_o so_o authentical_a to_o we_o in_o regard_n of_o our_o weakness_n for_o his_o reference_n see_v my_o answer_n to_o it_o a_o
