[sic] last: and upon the 26 of the same moneth. Betweene Mr Gunning of the one part, and Mr Denne on the other. Concerning the baptisme of infants; whether lawful, or unlawful.

b_o i_o acknowledge_v mr._n baxter_n to_o be_v a_o learned_a man_n in_o many_o thing_n but_o herein_o he_o betray_v his_o science_n and_o i_o be_o afraid_a his_o conscience_n likewise_o as_o touch_v science_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o prove_v that_o dip_n of_o believer_n be_v not_o so_o dangerous_a as_o dip_v of_o infant_n yet_o dip_v of_o infant_n be_v not_o only_o command_v by_o the_o church_n of_o england_n but_o also_o general_o practise_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n till_o the_o year_n 1600_o yea_o in_o some_o place_n it_o be_v practise_v until_o the_o year_n 1641._o until_o the_o fashion_n alter_v again_o i_o can_v make_v it_o manifest_a that_o dip_v either_o infant_n or_o believer_n be_v not_o so_o dangerous_a as_o sprinkle_v of_o infant_n and_o yet_o they_o sprinkle_v they_o at_o all_o time_n night_n and_o day_n and_o winter_n and_o summer_n and_o have_v m._n baxter_n know_v this_o to_o be_v true_a he_o will_v have_v tell_v where_o and_o when_o any_o believer_n be_v kill_v and_o by_o who_o that_o so_o he_o may_v have_v bring_v a_o odium_fw-la upon_o the_o practice_n but_o he_o give_v we_o not_o one_o instance_n that_o i_o know_v but_o on_o the_o contrary_a i_o shall_v tell_v you_o my_o observation_n of_o many_o hundred_o that_o i_o have_v know_v baptise_v of_o both_o sex_n of_o all_o sort_n old_a young_a feeble_a person_n woman_n great_a with_o child_n i_o never_o know_v any_o that_o have_v the_o least_o harm_n or_o suffer_v any_o damage_n in_o respect_n of_o health_n i_o have_v hear_v many_o confess_v they_o receive_v much_o benefit_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o body_n but_o i_o never_o hear_v any_o complain_n neither_o do_v i_o ever_o know_v any_o i_o speak_v it_o to_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n that_o die_v within_o one_o year_n after_o they_o be_v baptise_v except_v one_o maid_n in_o essex_n who_o die_v within_o a_o few_o week_n and_o mr._n baxter_n brethren_n instigate_v and_o spur_v the_o magistrate_n until_o the_o person_n baptise_v she_o be_v send_v to_o prison_n for_o murder_n lay_v in_o iron_n arrainge_v at_o the_o bar_n at_o the_o assize_n hold_v at_o chelmford_n and_o although_o witness_n come_v in_o the_o one_o whereof_o be_v her_o mother_n and_o testify_v that_o she_o be_v in_o better_a health_n than_o she_o have_v be_v for_o some_o year_n before_o for_o divers_a day_n and_o that_o she_o walk_v comfortable_o abroad_o yet_o the_o jury_n be_v inform_v that_o he_o be_v guilty_a of_o wilful_a murder_n and_o have_v not_o his_o appeal_n stand_v he_o in_o stead_n he_o have_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o his_o life_n but_o when_o he_o have_v appeal_v neither_o priest_n nor_o people_n dare_v prosecute_v he_o any_o more_o if_o therefore_o mr._n baxter_n and_o his_o brethren_n can_v prove_v what_o they_o affirm_v to_o be_v true_a how_o great_a the_o cry_n will_v be_v you_o may_v proportionable_o judge_v by_o this_o one_o story_n the_o whole_a matter_n whereof_o with_o all_o the_o circumstance_n be_v worthy_a to_o be_v commit_v to_o the_o press_n ad_fw-la perpetuam_fw-la rei_fw-la memoriam_fw-la that_o after_o age_n may_v take_v notice_n what_o manner_n of_o person_n we_o live_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o who_o preach_v write_v and_o print_n that_o the_o anabaptist_n be_v bloody_a i_o have_v a_o little_a more_o to_o speak_v to_o mr._n baxter_n that_o if_o there_o be_v such_o danger_n in_o the_o dip_n of_o believer_n as_o he_o pretend_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o administrator_n must_v be_v in_o great_a peril_n than_o the_o receiver_n forasmuch_o as_o the_o baptise_a go_v into_o the_o water_n but_o once_o the_o baptist_n often_o where_o many_o time_n he_o stay_v the_o time_n until_o divers_a person_n be_v baptise_v if_o the_o danger_n be_v so_o great_a it_o need_v not_o to_o be_v fear_v that_o the_o sect_n shall_v great_o increase_v by_o reason_n that_o the_o teacher_n will_v soon_o destroy_v themselves_o but_o i_o can_v show_v mr._n baxter_n a_o old_a man_n in_o london_n who_o have_v labour_v in_o the_o lord_n pool_n many_o year_n convert_v by_o his_o ministry_n as_o a_o instrument_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n more_o man_n and_o woman_n than_o mr._n baxter_n have_v in_o his_o parish_n yea_o when_o he_o have_v labour_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o day_n in_o preach_v and_o reason_v his_o refection_n have_v be_v not_o a_o sack-posset_n or_o a_o caudle_n but_o to_o go_v into_o the_o water_n and_o baptise_v convert_v and_o he_o live_v when_o young_a and_o wary_a person_n have_v go_v to_o the_o grave_n before_o he_o i_o wonder_v that_o mr._n baxter_n shall_v forget_v what_o he_o have_v read_v in_o author_n which_o he_o deem_v authentic_a who_o write_v that_o ethelbert_n king_n of_o kent_n with_o ten_o thousand_o man_n and_o woman_n be_v baptise_v in_o canterbury_n upon_o the_o 25_o day_n of_o december_n in_o the_o year_n 597._o a_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n appear_v to_o be_v very_o great_a in_o this_o case_n as_o if_o the_o lord_n do_v puropse_o intend_v to_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o clamorous_a adversary_n yet_o i_o believe_v he_o will_v not_o acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v any_o miracle_n for_o he_o will_v not_o willing_o grant_v that_o god_n work_v miracle_n among_o the_o anabaptist_n but_o do_v not_o the_o opponent_n declare_v that_o he_o have_v more_o argument_n which_o he_o intend_v to_o have_v urge_v i_o will_v willing_o hear_v they_o b_o you_o shall_v hear_v they_o that_o doctrine_n which_o leave_v power_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n to_o kill_v soul_n without_o their_o own_o consent_n can_v be_v of_o god_n but_o the_o doctrine_n of_o infant_n baptism_n as_o the_o respondent_fw-la lay_v it_o down_o leave_v power_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n to_o kill_v soul_n without_o their_o consent_n therefore_o the_o doctrine_n of_o infant_n baptism_n lay_v down_o by_o the_o respondent_fw-la be_v not_o of_o god_n a_o i_o think_v the_o major_n can_v be_v deny_v in_o regard_n the_o scripture_n say_v man_n be_v not_o able_a to_o kill_v the_o soul_n math._n 10._o 28._o the_o minor_a therefore_o remain_v to_o be_v prove_v b_o if_o man_n have_v power_n by_o his_o doctrine_n to_o deprive_v soul_n of_o salvation_n then_o they_o have_v power_n to_o kill_v soul_n but_o by_o this_o doctrine_n man_n have_v power_n to_o deprive_v soul_n of_o salvation_n therefore_o by_o this_o doctrine_n man_n have_v power_n to_o kill_v soul_n the_o minor_a be_v prove_v by_o the_o ground_n which_o be_v lay_v down_o viz._n baptism_n be_v so_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n that_o no_o child_n can_v be_v save_v without_o it_o now_o we_o see_v many_o parent_n can_v and_o do_v withhold_v baptism_n from_o their_o child_n and_o thereby_o according_a to_o his_o doctrine_n they_o kill_v the_o soul_n of_o their_o child_n for_o he_o that_o deprive_v we_o of_o the_o mean_n do_v deprive_v we_o of_o the_o end_n a_o i_o will_v not_o undertake_v the_o answer_n of_o this_o argument_n because_o i_o know_v not_o what_o to_o say_v to_o it_o i_o leave_v it_o for_o they_o that_o can_v i_o pray_v you_o proceed_v to_o another_o argument_n b_o that_o doctrine_n which_o make_v the_o command_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v more_o obscure_a than_o the_o command_v deliver_v by_o moses_n be_v not_o of_o god_n but_o the_o doctrine_n of_o infant_n baptism_n make_v the_o command_n of_o christ_n more_o obscure_a than_o the_o command_v deliver_v by_o moses_n therefore_o the_o doctrine_n of_o infant_n baptism_n be_v not_o of_o god_n that_o christ_n speak_v more_o plain_a than_o moses_n these_o scripture_n testify_v john_n 1._o 16_o 17._o heb._n 2._o 3._o chapter_n 2._o cor._n 3._o from_o the_o 6_o to_o the_o 15_o verse_n now_o it_o evident_o appear_v that_o moses_n deliver_v ordinance_n plain_o and_o evident_o even_o in_o the_o small_a thing_n he_o be_v very_o punctual_a according_a to_o all_o the_o form_n show_v in_o the_o mount_n if_o then_o the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n be_v a_o thing_n of_o so_o great_a weight_n so_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n of_o they_o how_o can_v it_o be_v imagine_v that_o it_o shall_v have_v be_v whole_o leave_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n and_o not_o a_o word_n of_o it_o to_o be_v find_v as_o the_o defender_n themselves_o confess_v but_o only_o by_o consequence_n and_o this_o age_n be_v ashamed_a of_o the_o consequence_n that_o please_v former_a age_n and_o bring_v new_a and_o unheard_a of_o sequel_n to_o confirm_v what_o they_o can_v find_v in_o plain_a term_n deliver_v a_o three_o argument_n be_v this_o that_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n which_o beget_v question_n that_o can_v be_v answer_v and_o be_v uphold_v by_o practice_n which_o be_v ridiculous_a be_v not_o of_o god_n but_o such_o be_v the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o infant_n baptism_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o of_o god_n the_o question_n and_o doubt_n be_v these_o chief_o 1._o how_o long_a time_n may_v a_o child_n be_v keep_v unbaptised_a without_o sin_n 2._o whether_o the_o child_n of_o unbeliever_n may_v be_v baptise_v 3._o whether_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o grandfather_n may_v give_v a_o child_n right_a to_o baptism_n 4._o how_o far_o may_v we_o go_v back_o in_o a_o right_a or_o collateral_a line_n to_o derive_v the_o right_n of_o child_n to_o baptism_n 5._o whether_o surety_n can_v perform_v faith_n and_o repentance_n for_o the_o child_n 6._o whether_o that_o child_n be_v true_o baptise_v who_o surety_n be_v unbeliever_n the_o practice_n that_o be_v ridiculous_a be_v these_o 1._o the_o priest_n demand_v of_o the_o child_n whether_o it_o do_v believe_v in_o god_n whether_o it_o do_v forsake_v the_o devil_n etc._n etc._n whether_o he_o or_o she_o desire_v to_o be_v baptise_v the_o godfather_n answer_v yea_o for_o this_o child_n when_o the_o child_n have_v not_o any_o desire_n this_o be_v so_o ridiculous_a that_o our_o new_a reformer_n be_v quite_o ashamed_a of_o it_o and_o have_v send_v the_o antique_a fashion_n out_o of_o door_n and_o cashier_v the_o godfather_n and_o godmother_n there_o be_v of_o old_a even_o of_o the_o same_o antiquity_n with_o infant_n baptism_n man_n that_o do_v not_o spare_v to_o baptise_v dead_a man_n so_o

creep_v under_o the_o bed_n the_o priest_n demand_v of_o the_o dead_a man_n whether_o he_o repent_v whether_o he_o desire_v to_o be_v baptise_v the_o live_a man_n answer_v from_o under_o the_o bed_n for_o the_o dead_a man_n yea_o i_o do_v repent_v i_o do_v believe_v i_o desire_v to_o be_v baptise_v after_o which_o they_o proceed_v to_o baptise_v the_o dead_a man_n and_o scripture_n they_o
