A47755	A religious conference between a minister and parishioner: concerning the practice of our orthodox Church of England in baptizing infants, and pouring water on their faces, or sprinkling them; and in confirming them by the bishop when they come of age to give an account of their faith. Proving all three lawful by the authority of the Holy Scriptures.	Leslie, Charles, 1650-1722.	1696 (1696)	Wing L1145; ESTC R213965	23,437	34

rom._n 4.15_o beside_o if_o that_o text_n of_o jeremy_n or_o any_o other_o of_o the_o like_a nature_n shall_v condemn_v our_o practice_n in_o baptise_v infant_n they_o do_v as_o much_o condemn_v their_o practice_n in_o admit_v woman_n to_o the_o lord_n supper_n which_o be_v alike_o destitute_a of_o any_o express_a scripture_n command_v or_o example_n to_o warrant_v it_o and_o then_o according_a to_o their_o own_o way_n of_o argue_v it_o must_v be_v sinful_a p._n but_o if_o you_o can_v produce_v some_o command_n or_o example_n for_o baptise_v child_n you_o will_v soon_o convince_v these_o man_n and_o they_o will_v ready_o do_v it_o m._n i_o much_o doubt_v this_o whether_o they_o will_v baptise_v their_o child_n if_o there_o be_v never_o so_o plain_a a_o command_n or_o example_n in_o scripture_n for_o it_o p._n this_o look_v a_o little_a uncharitable_a but_o what_o reason_n have_v you_o to_o think_v this_o of_o they_o m._n because_o although_o we_o tell_v they_o the_o chapter_n and_o verse_n where_o sing_v psalm_n be_v require_v and_o where_o there_o be_v example_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n who_o not_o only_o enjoin_v it_o other_o but_o also_o practise_v it_o themselves_o yet_o the_o far_o great_a number_n of_o they_o in_o this_o kingdom_n never_o sing_v psalm_n or_o hymn_n at_o all_o and_o it_o be_v no_o uncharitableness_n to_o think_v that_o those_o who_o make_v bold_a in_o disobey_v one_o scripture_n command_n back_v with_o example_n too_o will_v not_o make_v bold_a in_o disobey_v another_o p._n but_o i_o be_o tell_v they_o refuse_v to_o sing_v psalm_n because_o they_o have_v a_o mix_v congregation_n with_o which_o they_o can_v join_v in_o sing_v m._n so_o if_o there_o be_v a_o express_a command_n for_o baptise_v child_n they_o may_v find_v the_o like_a excuse_n for_o not_o baptise_v they_o because_o it_o must_v be_v do_v in_o a_o mix_v congregation_n they_o do_v not_o like_o the_o minister_n or_o people_n or_o form_n of_o baptism_n and_o therefore_o will_v keep_v their_o child_n from_o it_o but_o these_o be_v ridiculous_a excuse_n and_o why_o then_o do_v they_o pray_v in_o a_o mix_v congregation_n p._n i_o can_v imagine_v what_o they_o will_v say_v to_o this_o or_o what_o reason_n they_o can_v give_v that_o they_o seldom_o use_v the_o lord_n prayer_n in_o any_o of_o their_o meeting_n m._n i_o guess_v at_o the_o reason_n of_o both_o but_o i_o will_v not_o be_v positive_a therein_o because_o i_o will_v not_o be_v uncharitable_a as_o they_o be_v it_o may_v be_v it_o be_v because_o they_o hate_v all_o form_n of_o word_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o will_v not_o sing_v psalm_n nor_o use_v the_o lord_n prayer_n lest_o they_o shall_v symbolize_v with_o we_o and_o stand_v self_n condemn_v for_o go_v so_o far_o and_o not_o go_v far_o in_o join_v with_o we_o in_o that_o excellent_a form_n of_o prayer_n our_o church_n prescribe_v p._n true_o this_o may_v be_v the_o reason_n they_o do_v not_o sing_v psalm_n nor_o use_v the_o lord_n prayer_n and_o i_o shall_v think_v it_o be_v till_o they_o show_v a_o better_a but_o they_o object_n many_o place_n of_o scripture_n against_o infant-baptism_n even_o all_o those_o that_o require_v the_o minister_n to_o teach_v and_o baptise_v mat._n 28.19_o and_o the_o people_n to_o believe_v and_o be_v baptise_a mar._n 16.16_o and_o to_o repent_v and_o be_v baptise_a act_v 2.38_o and_o with_o these_o they_o stagger_v ignorant_a and_o unstable_a soul_n and_o sometime_o gain_v they_o to_o their_o party_n m._n what_o you_o say_v be_v very_o true_a but_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n any_o one_o shall_v be_v stagger_v with_o these_o text_n for_o they_o all_o have_v respect_n to_o grow_v person_n that_o be_v then_o believer_n or_o shall_v become_v and_o do_v not_o at_o all_o concern_v their_o child_n p._n but_o how_o do_v you_o prove_v that_o child_n be_v not_o exclude_v from_o baptism_n by_o these_o text_n m._n from_o one_o of_o they_o that_o of_o mar._n 16.16_o he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptise_a shall_v be_v save_v but_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v where_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v be_v acknowledge_v by_o our_o opposer_n in_o this_o point_n to_o be_v restrain_v to_o grow_v person_n only_o and_o that_o child_n be_v not_o intend_v by_o it_o who_o they_o will_v neither_o allow_v to_o have_v faith_n nor_o yet_o to_o be_v damn_a for_o want_v of_o it_o and_o therefore_o he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptise_a in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o verse_n must_v be_v so_o restrain_v too_o and_o understand_v of_o grow_v person_n and_o not_o of_o child_n and_o so_o child_n be_v no_o more_o to_o be_v keep_v from_o baptism_n than_o from_o heaven_n for_o want_v of_o faith_n and_o therefore_o when_o they_o object_v such_o scripture_n as_o these_o to_o you_o answer_v they_o with_o some_o other_o as_o heb._n 5.9_o christ_n become_v the_o author_n of_o salvation_n to_o all_o

from_o these_o text_n that_o child_n can_v be_v save_v without_o faith_n as_o from_o the_o other_o scripture_n that_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v baptise_a without_o it_o and_o tell_v they_o too_o though_o baptism_n be_v but_o one_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a way_n of_o apply_v it_o 1._o through_o confession_n of_o faith_n to_o such_o grow_a person_n as_o be_v capable_a of_o make_v it_o and_o

it_o be_v absurd_a in_o any_o one_o to_o urge_v that_o against_o child_n to_o shut_v they_o out_o from_o baptism_n which_o only_o concern_v men._n p._n this_o kind_n of_o reason_v i_o believe_v will_v be_v too_o hard_a for_o they_o but_o it_o will_v leave_v they_o without_o excuse_n if_o you_o can_v produce_v a_o plain_a text_n or_o two_o for_o infant-baptism_n m._n i_o think_v they_o be_v leave_v without_o excuse_n in_o what_o have_v be_v already_o urge_v and_o if_o i_o can_v yet_o produce_v plain_a text_n they_o will_v do_v but_o little_a good_a upon_o they_o p._n you_o know_v not_o but_o through_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n they_o may_v and_o therefore_o if_o you_o have_v any_o more_o pray_v let_v i_o hear_v they_o m._n why_o then_o urge_v those_o two_o place_n wherein_o believer_n
