A67315	Baptism anatomized being propounded in five queries, viz. I. What water-baptism is? II. What is the end for which it was instituted? III. What giveth right to it? IV. Who are the true administrators of it? V. Whether it be lawful for a man to baptize himself? Wherein the right that the infants of believers have to water-baptism is vindicated: the duty of believing parents in that matter, asserted: and that by the contrary tenet and practise, they ought themselves to be excluded from the Lords-Supper, is plainly and fully proved. And wherein also is proved, that the covenant which God made with Abraham, Gen. 17. and with Israel Exod. ch. 19. and Deut. 29. are the Covenant of Grace in Christ, and not part of the covenant of works made with Adam before his fall.

the Gospel Matt. 5. 17. Think not that I am come to destroy the Law or the Prophets I am not come to destroy but to fulfil Rom. 3. 30 31. Seeing it is one God which shall justifie the Circumcision by Faith and the Uncircumcision through Faith do we then make void the Law through Faith God forbid yea we establish the Law Rom. 7. 7. What shall I say then is the Law Sin God forbid I had not known Sin but by the Law For I had not known Lust except the Law had said thou shalt not Covet James 2. 8 9 10 11. Thus the Law is of the same use to us now as it was to the Church of the Jews We have the Gospel to shew us our Righteousness by Christ without the works of the Law so had they Heb. 4. 2. for unto us was the Gospel preached as well as unto them see Levit. 26. 42 45. Luke 54. 55. 72. 73. Deut. 30. 1. 12 13 14. Rom. 10. 5 6 8. Gen. 15. 6. Psalm 32. 1 2. with Rom. 4. 6. c. 1 Cor. 10. 1 2 3 4. Heb. Chap. 11. only in the manner of Administration of the Law and Gospel there be Differences manifested Ainsworth's Defence of Scripture Page 119. In which Answer of Mr. Ainsworth's is proved these things 1. That the Church of Israel had the very same use of the Law we now have to shew them and us our Sins that we as well as they might be lead to Christ 2. They had the same Gospel to shew them as us our Righteousness in Christ without the works of the Law 3. They had Ordinances for Worship which figur'd Christ to come which they in believing and looking for his coming offered in Faith Heb. chap. 11. so worshipped they the Father in Spirit and in Truth as Christ said to the Woman of Samaria Ye worship ye know not what we know what we worship for Salvation is of the Jews but the hour cometh and now is when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in truth for the Father seeketh such to worship him God is a Spirit and they that worship him must worship him in Spirit and in Truth John 4. 22 23 24. and such Worshippers were the Church of the Jews though not all as in the Gospel-Church many were reproved for seeking to be justified by the works of the Law Gal. 3. Therefore as well they of the Circumcision as others the Apostle testifieth worshipped God in the Spirit though not all as it is written For we are of the Circumcision which worship God in the Spirit and rejoyce in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the Flesh Phil. 3. 3. And thus in the Church of Israel many were Righteous walking in all the Ordinances of the Lord blameless waiting by Faith for Christ in the Promise to come the Consolation of Israel as it is written of old Simeon when Christ was born and brought into the Temple He then took him up in his arms and blessed God and said Lord now lettest thou thy Servant depart in peace according to thy word for mine eyes have seen thy Salvation which thou hast prepared before the face of all People a light to lighten the Gentiles and the Glory of thy People Israel So likewise Anna she coming into the Temple at the same Instant gave Thanks likewise to the Lord and spake of him to wit of Christ To all them who looked for Redemption in Israel Luke 2. 25 28 to 39. Rev. 3. 4. These things being duly observed let the impartial Reader judge whether the Church of Israel were a Carnal People or had a Carnal Covenant and Promise of Carnal things as Mr. Smith feigneth or whether the Church of Israel were not such that worshipped the Father in Spirit and in Truth under the Covenant of Grace by Faith serving God although under Figurative Ordinances for the hope of the Promise made of God to the Father Acts 26. 6 7. yea believing that it was not the Blood of Bulls and Goats that could take away Sin Psalm 40. 6. 51. 16. Heb. 10. 4. but it was the Blood of Christ the Lamb of God the true Sin-offering 2. Cor. 5. 21. that on him was laid the Iniquity of us al Isaiah 53. that shall be saved As John hath proclaimed Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world Therefore what an Erroneous Doctrine is it that John Smith and Mr. Danvers have laid to build the way of Anabaptistry upon to deprive the Infants of Believers from the Right they have now to the Sign of the Remission of their Sin Water-Baptism And not only so but by their Doctrine they Damn the Infants of all Gods People of old if the Covenant the Church of Israel were accepted into with their Children was no other than a Carnal Covenant for a Carnal State is opposite to a Spiritual State as the Apostle proveth Rom. 8. 6 7. for to be carnally minded is Death but to be Spiritually minded is Life and Peace because the Carnal Mind is Enmity against God for it is not subject to the Law of God neither indeed can be so then they that are in the Flesh cannot please God Now if the Church of Israel was in no better State and had but a Carnal Covenant their State was Death and Damnation for as much as there is no Eternal Life but in the Covenant of Grace in Christ John 17. 3. so the Church is not the World which Christ pray'd for ver 9. But that the Church of God from the day the Gospel was Preached to Adam and he and his Wife believed in Christ to come they had the Covenant of Grace whereby God was the God of the Faithful and their Seed so that the Gospel first Preached to Adam that the Seed of the Woman should bruise the Serpents Head is the same Gospel the Apostles taught as it is written And the God of Peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly Rom. 16. 20. And this glad Tidings is summed up in these words of the Everlasting Gospel-Covenant made with Abraham and his Seed as it is written Gen. 17. 7. And I will establish my Covenant between me and thee and thy Seed after thee in their Generations for an everlasting Covenant to be a God unto thee and to thy seed after thee which Covenant together with that in Exod. 19. 5 6. that in Deut. 29. Mr. Cary affirmeth to be but three several Additions to the Covenant of Works made with Adam before the Fall so no part of the Covenant of Grace in Christ Now for as much as Mr. Cary and others when they seek to pervert the Scripture from its true Sense or Meaning as afore hath been shewed concerning the Sense of the word Baptize so here concerning the word Everlasting Covenant Mr. Cary saith in P. 126 127. of his Book Solemn Call It is true saith he the Covenant of Circumcision is called also an Everlasting

Kindred and Tongue and People and Nation and hast made us unto our God Kings and Priests and we shall reign on Earth First over our Sins and Corruptions that they have no Dominion over us Rom. 6. 14. The Lord Christ having subdued our Iniquities Micah 7. 19. So having a part in the first Resurrection we shall Reign with Christ 2. By overcoming our selves which is greater than all Earthly Conquest according to the Scripture He that is slow to Anger is better than the mighty Man and he that ruleth his own Spirit is better than he that winneth a City Prov. 16. 32. 3. Our overcoming the World is in not loving it 1 John 2. 15. and to keep our selves unspotted from it James 1. 27. Patiently for Christ's sake bareing the Reproaches in it 1 Cor. 4. 9 13. so shall we be more than Conquerors Rom. 8. 37. And this is the Victory that we overcome the World even our Faith 1 John 5. 4. ●4 Over Satan by resisting him stedfast in the Faith 1 Peter 5. 9. So shall we by the Power of Christ overcome him by the Blood of the Lamb and word of his Testimony Rev. 12. 11. So shall we tread Satan under our Feet shortly and judge the World and Angels 1 Cor. 6. 2 3. As Noah condemned the World by Faith in preparing an Ark to the saving of his House the Church of God and Preaching Christ our Righteousness by Faith in the Promise and so became an Heir to reign with Christ in Glory in Heaven for evermore Heb. 11. 7. Rom. 8. 17. Thus as Christ is King and Priest on his Throne in the Kingdom of his Mediatorship in his Church Zach. 6. 13. Rev. 4. 3. 15. 3. from whom this Grace cometh to his Saints by applying unto us his Sufferings Death Burial Righteousness Resurrection and Glorious Victory over Sin Death and Hell to be ours Isaiah 53. 4 5. Rom. 4. 25. For so he hath made us Kings and Priests unto God even his Father Rev. 1. 6. So that as the Covenant of Grace was one to the Church of Israel of old as now to us Gentiles as it is written I the Lord have called thee in Righteousness and will hold thine hand and will keep thee and give thee for a Covenant of the People for a light of the Gentiles Isa 42. 6. So have we the same Faith the Church of Israel had 2 Cor. 4. 13. Psalm 116. 10. only their Redemption was under the Performance of Figurative Ordinances as the Epistle to the Hebrews sheweth yet both the Churches now and of old all under the same Benefits of Grace as they were a Kingdom of Priests so are we a Royal or Kingly Priesthood as they were a Holy Nation so are we as they were a peculiar Treasure to the Lord above all People so are the Churches now a peculiar People Exod. 19. 5 6. 1 Peter 2. 9. As they were called out of Egypt the Figure of our Captivity by Sin so are we called out of the Spiritual Egypt Exod. 4. 22 23. Rev. 11. 8. As the very Names of the Five Books of Moses have their Titles to note the things contained in them as Mr. Ainsworth in his Epistle to the Five Books of Moses saith Genesis that is Generation which endeth with the going down of Israel into Egypt in which we have the Image of the Natural Man fallen from God into the Bondage of Sin 2ly In Exodus or Departure is the Type of our Regeneration and State revived by Christ so was the Covenant of Grace Gen. 17. revived Exod. 19. 5 6. 3ly As in Leviticus the Sacrifices in the Service of God the shadow of our Mortification sheweth whilst we are made Sacrifices unto God Rom. 12. 4ly Numbers the Sign of our Spiritual Warfare whereunto we are mustered and armed to Fight the Good Fight of Faith 5ly Deuteronomy or the Repetition of the Doctrine of Sanctification and Preparation to enter into our Heavenly Canaan after Moses Death by the Conduct of Jesus the Son of God By all which it appeareth although God lead his People under Tipes and Shadows pointing to Christ yet the proper end of the Law taught Israel the Worship of God in Spirit and in Truth Deut. 5. 7 8. 6. 4 5 6. as the truly Godly in Israel well knew and confessed see and read Psal 32. 1 2. Psalm 40. 6. 51. 6 16. compared with Rom. 10. 8 9. Again what the Nature of the Covenant Exod. 19. 5 6. was the Prophet Jeremiah sheweth speaking to Judah in reproving the Church for Breach thereof when as by that Covenant Exod. 19. 5 6. they were planted a noble Vine wholly a right Seed but by Apostacy they were turned into a strange Vine Jer. 2. the Vine is Christ unto whom they were espoused to him their Head and they were Branches by this Covenant John 15. made in the Wilderness Acts 7. 38. Members of his Body the Church as it is written Thus saith the Lord I remember thee the kindness of thy youth the love of thine espousals when thou wentest after me in the Wilderness Israel was Holiness unto the Lord and the first fruits of his Increase all that devour him shall offend evil shall come upon them saith the Lord Jer. 2. 2 3. Now where do we read that by any other Covenant than that of Grace Israel were espoused or married to the Lord The Angel of Gods Presence who went before them in the Wilderness Isaiah 63. 9. and was also their Rearward for by no other Covenant but that of Grace are a People made the First-fruits unto the Lord as we read Israel by this Covenant of Grace in Christ was as James saith to the Christians that they were a kind of the First-fruits of his Creatures James 1. 18. We likewise read that Christs redeemed ones Rev. 14. 4. are called the First-fruits unto God and unto the Lamb. These Spiritual Mercies were never given to any People by a Covenant of Works but by the Covenant of Grace in Christ from whence only ariseth these Priviledges to be a Kingdom of Priests a Holy Nation a Chosen Generation the First-fruits unto God and the Lamb. Moreover the Lord when treating with Judah in her Apostacy by Ezekiel putteth her in mind of his Mercy to their Forefathers when he brought them out of Egypt when they were polluted with the Idols of Egypt Ezek. 20. so that their Estate was like the State of the Heathen Canaanites the worst of People in which sinful State when no Eye pittied them then by the Free Grace of God in Christ the Lord had Compassion on them as it is written Ezek. 16. 6 8. When I passed by thee and saw thee polluted in thine own blood I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood Live Yea I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood Live Now when I passed by thee and looked upon thee behold thy time was the time of Love and I spread my
