A67842	A New-Years-gift for the Antinomians particularly Mr. Malebranch Crisp, or, as he foolishly, and yet often (but truly stiles himself the unworthy branch of Dr. Crisp who hath wickedly attempted to underprop a rotten cause of his father, by notorious forgeries, concerning Mr. Baxter, Mr. How, and Dr. Bates, as justifiers of Dr. Crisp as an orthodox man, and no Antinomian: in a rhapsody, intituled, Christ exalted, and Dr. Crisp defended; against the reverend Mr. Alsop, with whom he rudely, and ignorantly plays under the name of his dear Kratiste. By Calvin Anti-Crispian.	Trepidantium Malleus.; C. A.	1699 (1699)	Wing Y83A; ESTC R221087	21,128	48

is something within your Buttons tells you more Antin Talk of other things What talk you of Life and Works Talk of Free-Grace But have you heard how learnedly our Gospeller whom you call the Draper hath proved Infant-Baptism out of the Canticles and Ezekiel's Vision about the Form of the House Arguments that are not commonly thought of by others I doubt you therefore are displeas'd with him For some say you have renounced your Baptism and they can tell the Man who dip't you Evang. This Story as well as other things is a notorious Slander The learned Anabaptist and others of them of my Acquaintance know me to be a zealous tho' not a furious Contender for Infant-Baptism If I meet with any Opposers I own both the Subjects and Form in Infant Baptisin And to wipe off this Charge against me for ever I declare my Opinion about the Form That I believe not that any one Person was plunged in all the New Testament That 6 Rom. 4. Buried with him in Baptism only relates to the Confession the Party baptized made which compar'd with 3 Mat. 6. induceth me thus to think They were buptized in Jordan confessing their sins We often read of being buried with Christ and risen with Christ where no mention is made of Baptism Which answers the two good old Protestant words Mortification and Vivification When the Three Thousand Souls were baptized either they were baptized with their Cloaths on or with their Cloaths off If with their Cloaths off they were guilty of great Indecency and Immodesty among themselves If with their Cloaths on they expos'd the Ordinance to the Contempt of Jews and Pagans who should see them come home streaming as if out of a Ducking-stool I believe they were baptized neither in our way nor theirs I know no more how much Water was used in Baptism than how much Bread and Wine they used at the Lords Table If Men would Quarrel they might say in this Ordinance tasting or taking a little bit of Bread is not eating nor sipping drinking I think neither they nor we give our Forms of Baptism a right Name Washing or pouring Water on a Child s Face is not sprinkling nor plunging is not bare dipping Dip thy Morsal in the Vinegar 2 Ruth 14. To plunge it in many cases is unmannerly and lubberly Joseph's Coat was dipt in the Blood of a Kid of a Goat 37 Gen. 31. not plunged sure Not Blood enough for this neither had it then look'd as a Coat of one whom some evil Beast had devour'd As for the Subjects Children were Members of the Visible Church under the Law and are so still else they had not been circumcis'd and therefore now must be baptis'd Else 1. They are all without the Church and therefore Dogs and such as God judgeth 2. Else they are all of the Kingdom of Sathan if not of Christ One or the other they must be there is no middle and so must be rank'd with the Children of Jews and Pagans 3. Then were the believing Jews who first came into the Church by Baptism in this respect the worse for Christ's Coming or for this Change their Children being now left out of God's Church not before 4. Else of such is not the Kingdom of God else were they Unclean but now are they Holy 1 Cor. 7.14 that is with a Foederal Holiness Legitimate Holiness is Illegitimate Nonsence with me For if neither of the Parents were Believers and so not one sanctified to the other for to the Unclean nothing is sanctified his Conscience being defil'd they were Legitimate as the Children of Jews and Turks not Bastards There is no Sanctification or Holiness out of a Church State I know but one Covenant and that of Grace running throughout the Old and New Testament The Covenant of Peculiarity is but the Covenant of Grace in another Dress Antin I am pleas'd to the Heart to hear you thus talk What makes you then converse with so many of them Evang. I will tell you plainly The Learning and Piety the Loyalty and Orthodoxness of many of the Men I converse with and the Wisdom and Prudence of some not Scholars Antin But you preach Law and Duty But we as Paul desire to know nothing but Christ and him Crucified Evang. You will not stand by this Corrupt Gloss No nothing in the strictest Sence tho' we put Works in their proper place as fruits and signs of Justification yet you run away and say we are Legal and keep Men from coming to Christ You say you do all for Christ You know who shall say 7 Mat. 22. In thy Name in thy Name in thy Name yet be rejected as workers of Iniquity Antin Oh but some of our Preachers find out such Spiritual Sences of Text none of you do or can do Evang. I have sometimes thought according to their mad way of expounding I might make all Scripture an Allegory about Christ to begm 1. Gen. 1 2 3. In the Beginning that is Christ call'd the beginning of the Creation of God God made Heaven and Earth that is united the Humane and Divine Nature And the Earth was without form and void The Man Christ Jesus according to 53 Isaiah 2. had no Form nor Comliness nor Beauty why he should be desired And Darkness was upon the face of the Deep that is 1. He was a Man of Sorrows and acquainted with Griefs 2. He was led into the Wilderness to be tempted of the Devil 3. He was in Agonies in the Garden 4. He cried out My God my God why hast thou forsaken me When Darkness was from the sixth to the ninth Hour 24 Mat. 45. And the Spirit of God moved on the face of the Waters God comforted him when he wept and sweat drops of Blood Or he said My God my God in the Waters of Affliction Sence spoke once Faith twice And God said Let there be Light and there was Light After he was in the Grave Three Days God raised Christ from the Dead and the Evening and the Morning were the First Day And now a Draper might from hence learn That the First Day was to be the Christian Sabbath O rare Discoveries But would not this be horrid playing with Scripture whatever pretences were made to Spiritual Sences and Discoveries from the Spirit Antin But they invite Men to come to Christ without a Change but you do not Evang. Coming to Christ is the same with Faith and therefore you had as good bid Men come to Christ without coming to Christ as to talk as you do It is a vital Spititual Act of the Soul Antin But all grant Dr. Crisp was a Holy Man whatever he preach'd Evang. I and others that have so said did amiss Some of us were decoy'd by Mr. How 's Paper who I have Reason to believe hath repented it since not having then read the Book as most believe and so knew not the Venom there I know some say they hope the Doctor did not
