A few years ago among the Flemish Anabaptists three new sects were added to the former who excommunicate one another The occasion of this division was Thomas Benks the Bishop of the Anabaptists at Franeker who at the rouping of a certain house did elude the design of a friend who first intended to buy it this merchandize many of the Anabaptists did approve as honest but others of them did not only disallow it as deceitfull but also pronounced that deceit worthy of excommunication Vpon this occasion a rent was made but while these two parties are at variance there ariseth a third party of mid men and neutrals who did disallow the bargain as fraudulent yet did not judge that fraud so hainous as to deserve the rigorous censure of excommunication in the mean time these three sects howsoever unanimous in the chief heads of their doctrine yet they bolted out fearfull excommunications one against another and refused all mutuall communion PPPP Ibid. p. 431. the Hamaxarii and Borboritae were these Anabaptists who separating themselves from the old Mennonists because of their rigidity in censuring received in their Communion any that were excommunicated by the other Sects and so did heap up together all filthinesse QQQQ Master Marshals Defence against Tombs p. 76.

II. The Tenets of the old ANABAPTISTS THE errours of the Anabaptists and their divisions amongst themselves are so many The most applauded Tenets of our modern Anabaptists are the self-same with what the old Anabaptists did invent that to set them down distinctly in any good order is a task which I dare not undertake much lesse can I give assurance what is common to them all and what proper to their severall sects only that I may demonstrate the same very spirit to breath this day in the Anabaptists of Britain which inspired their Fathers of former times in Germany I will remark what tenets Authors of good credit ascribe to both hoping that this discovery may be a means to bring many simple wel-meaning people who are not yet plunged in the deeps of obstinacy to a more accurate triall and greater suspicion of their ways when they shall see it made visible and palpable upon undeniable evidence that their most beloved tenets and practises which they beleeve to be full of truth and holinesse are no other but the same very singularities which the known event doth now convince all who without prejudice can but read unquestionable Histories to have been the inventions and dictates of the false and unclean spirit which acted and moved in Muncer Becold David George and such like abominable monsters of mankind Their first and prime Tenet was a necessity of gathering Churches out of Churches and of separation from the best reformed in their time because of mixt communion The first and leading tenet of the old Anabaptists was a necessity to gather new Churches out of these which Luther and Zuinglius and their followers had reformed from Popery A It is remarkable that these men had never a stomach to trouble themselves with any labour to make converts from Popery or prophanenesse only so soon as gracious persons had drawn any Cities or Countries out of the kingdom of Antichrist then they fell on and every where did much disturb the work of the new Reformation B At the beginning they dissembled the grossest of their errours and their intention to quarrell infants baptism they did only presse a greater measure of holinesse and mortification then was ordinary C in this all good men went along with them but when they began to teach that the Church behoved to consist of no other members but such as were not in profession and aim alone but also visibly and really holy and elect and therefore that new Churches behoved to be gathered and that all the old any where extant behoved to be separate from as mixed and so corrupted societies then Luther and Zuinglius did oppose themselves to this schismatick humour D When they found themselves disappointed of the assistance of Luther and Zuinglius and all the rest of the orthodox Preachers without more delay they fell upon their intended work themselves alone first by private conventicles E then by preaching in the open streets they gathered and set up Churches after their own mind F consisting meerly of Saints G who did forbear communion in religious exercises with all other Churches H whom they avowed to be for the most part but worldly carnall and prophane Gospellers I and their best Preachers especially Luther and Zuinglius to be but Scribes and Pharisees false Prophets large as evill as the Pope and his Antichristian Priests K Antipaedobaptisme became at last their greatest darling For the stricter ingagement of the Saints and godly party their adherents and for the clearer distinction of them from the prophane multitude of all other Congregations they thought meet to put upon them the mark and character of a new Baptisme making them renounce their old as null because received in their infancy and in a false Church At the beginning this rebaptization was but a secondary and lesse principall Doctrine among them for Muncer himself was never rebaptized neither in his own person did he rebaptize any L yet thereafter it became a more essentiall note of a member of their Church and the crying down of infants baptism came to be a most principall and distinctive Doctrine of all in their way M They the authors of

Williams concerning the name Heathen p. 18. Having not been without through the mercy of God abundant and constant thoughts about a true commission for such an embassie and Ministery I must ingenuously confesse the restlesse unsatisfiednesse of my soul in divers main particulars as first whether since the Law must go forth from Sion and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem I say whether Gods great businesse between Christ Jesus the holy Son of God and Antichrist the Man of Sin and son of perdition must not first be over and Sion and Jerusalem be rebuilt and re-established before the Law and word of life be set forth to the rest of the Nations of the world who have not heard of Christ the Prophets are deep concerning this EEEE Gangren first Part division second p. 20.

Testament where the administration is much changed the new covenant wants not both its sacramentall ceremonies and the promises of this life but none of those adjuncts doe change the state and nature of the principall it remains ever a covenant of pure grace without any mixture it is neither in the whole nor in any substantiall part turned into a covenant of works it may not lose its denomination if it keeps its nature it may neither be counted wholly a covenant of works nor a mixed covenant of grace and works For the other part of the similitude that Circumcision and Baptisme as they are seals of the same covenant so they are both initiating seals Both Circumcision and Baptisme are initiating seals ceremonies whereby the first solemn entry into this covenant is made is scarce controverted by any of circumcision the thing is evident whatever covenant it sealed it was an initiating seal thereof for it was the very first ceremony exercised about any person they of age at their profession of the faith were circumcised and infants in the eight day of their life no uncircumcised person might enter the Tabernacle or Temple or eat of the Paschall supper The same is true of Baptisme upon those of age who professe faith Christ immediately puts Baptisme Goe preach and baptize none may participate of the Lords Supper who is not before baptized this was the order of the Apostolick Churches Acts 2.38.41 42. The Apostle exhorts his hearers first to repent and be baptized this being done thereafter they goe to the breaking of bread M. Tombs the over-turner of this order is deserted herein as in many other of his notions by all the Anabaptists I know Thus the parts of the analogy which we touch upon are made good as for our inference that Baptisme being an initiating sign of the same covenant in which Circumcision initiates therefore as Circumcision was administred to infants in their solemn admission to the covenant under the Law so baptisme ought to bee administred to infants in their solemn admission to the same covenant under the Gospel The main things objected against this conclusion are two first that neither under Law nor Gospel infants were admitted to any covenant of grace I grant if this exception were made not to the conclusion which is an informal way of answering but to the consequence or antecedent or some proposition it is very relevant if it were true but in the former argument I have demonstrated from divers clear Scriptures its falshood Their other exception is There needs not a particular command for the application of a sacrament to the divers ages and sexes and conditions of persons that the parallel were it most harmonious in never so many things yet if it be to the purpose it must hold also in this that as Circumcision had an express command for its application to infants so must Baptism We answer that this exception is the very point in question which this whole argument and the former and all that follows intend to prove that for the application of Baptism to infants there is so much of a divine commandment as is requisite in such a case That expresse cōmands are not required for the application of ordinances to the diverse ages sexes and conditions of subjects is clear in a number of instances Who ever did require a particular command or expresse institution for admitting of women to the Lords Supper for the baptisme of old men the baptisme of Kings of Queens of Merchants and so forth If the premises therefore be granted as we have proved them from Scripture that infants are in the covenant of grace that Circumcision was and Baptisme is a Sacramentall seal initiating and solemnly bringing into this covenant all who are admitted thereto and that Circumcision did initiate infants therein it will not in reason be avoided but Baptisme must still do the same and that to deny Baptisme the initiating seal of the covenant of grace to infants is nothing else but the excluding of them from the covenant of grace it self It is Mr Tombes remark that under the very Law Baptism was in use Infants Baptisme under the Law and Mr Marshall addes very judiciously from the Talmud from Maimonides and other Authors that who ever were circumcised among the Jews were also baptized infants as well as their parents women as well as men That this custome of baptizing all who were added to the church children as well as parents did constantly continue in all ages of the Christian church is proved by many without any satisfactory reply but we intend here to dispute from Scripture alone Our third argument we take from Mat. 28.19 The third argument from Mat. 28.19 Goe ye therefore and teach all Nations baptizing them in the name of the Father of the Son and of the holy Ghost Hence we reason thus To whom that commission of the Apostles to baptize did extend they are commanded to be baptized But to some infants that commission of the Apostles does extend Ergo. The minor only is questionable we prove it by these reasons first To whom the chief matter of that commission does belong to them the commission does extend But to some infants the chief matter of that commission does belong The promises of the Gospel belong to infants for the chief matter thereof was the glad tidings of salvation in Christ the holy covenant and mercy promised to the Fathers the oath sworn to Abraham as Zachary expounds it Luke 1.72 73. Now that the covenant and promise in the very tearms of it concerned infants as much as any appears by the words of God to Abraham Gen. 17.7 I will be thy God and the God of thy seed and Peter Acts 2.39 does preach expresly that this promise did belong as well to his hearers children as to themselves Infants are not in a worse condition under the Gospel then under the Law A second proof if this commission of the Gospel of salvation and its initial seal extend not to any infants then the extent of the covenant of grace should be much straiter among the Gentiles then it had been among the Jews for infants are a great part of every Nation and among the Jews the covenant in the promise of grace and of glory and in the seals of both was extended to infants as well as to any others so if among the Gentiles now under the Gospel infants were excluded it would be a very sensible and pitifull restraint of the covenant but a very absurd one for every christian Nation has the covenant of grace communicate to them in no worse but in much better tearms then the Jews of old All who are baptized needs not be capable of teaching The great objection against al this is this argument None are the objects of baptisme but who first are the objects of teaching But infants are not the objects of teaching Ergo. We answer that both the
