father_v that_o on_o christ_n which_o he_o never_o say_v nor_o intend_v when_o a_o king_n say_v you_o by_o his_o charter_n or_o public_a write_n set_v at_o liberty_n the_o inhabitant_n of_o some_o town_n be_v not_o the_o child_n partaker_n of_o the_o charter_n although_o their_o name_n be_v not_o particular_o in_o it_o so_o it_o be_v here_o the_o king_n of_o heaven_n be_v through_o the_o charter_n of_o the_o gospel_n make_v of_o we_o that_o be_v stranger_n and_o foreigner_n to_o become_v fellow-citizen_n with_o the_o saint_n eph._n 2._o 19_o and_o to_o that_o end_n command_v to_o receive_v all_o nation_n through_o baptism_n into_o the_o liberty_n and_o privilege_n of_o the_o city_n of_o god_n and_o will_v he_o not_o receive_v the_o child_n into_o the_o privilege_n of_o their_o parent_n answ_n i_o answer_v if_o it_o be_v so_o as_o you_o say_v in_o all_o national_a state_n government_n and_o constitution_n and_o civil_a society_n what_o do_v this_o prove_v touch_v the_o case_n in_o hand_n unless_o you_o dare_v undertake_v to_o affirm_v the_o gospel-church_n be_v national_a and_o not_o congregational_a do_v the_o constitution_n of_o the_o spiritual_a gospel-church_n run_v as_o in_o human_n and_o national_a constitution_n prove_v it_o for_o i_o utter_o deny_v it_o beside_o if_o your_o infant_n as_o such_o be_v fellow-citizen_n with_o the_o saint_n and_o be_v to_o partake_v of_o all_o the_o privilege_n of_o the_o city_n of_o god_n why_o do_v you_o deny_v they_o the_o lord's-supper_n your_o similitude_n prove_v no_o more_o their_o right_n to_o baptism_n to_o one_o privilege_n than_o another_o i_o never_o yet_o can_v understand_v what_o spiritual_a or_o temporal_a privilege_n any_o infant_n receive_v in_o baptism_n what_o good_a do_v that_o do_v they_o that_o have_v not_o the_o thing_n signify_v in_o baptism_n there_o be_v great_a benefit_n receive_v in_o such_o a_o grant_v you_o speak_v of_o in_o a_o external_a charter_n but_o as_o god_n have_v not_o command_v infant_n to_o be_v baptize_v so_o not_o any_o benefit_n can_v be_v prove_v they_o receive_v thereby_o in_o this_o you_o argue_v as_o mr._n burkit_n have_v do_v before_o you_o reader_n take_v his_o similitude_n viz._n i_o demand_v say_v he_o whether_o according_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n gather_v from_o the_o word_n of_o the_o commission_n the_o remedy_n prescribe_v shall_v be_v administer_v only_o to_o grow_v person_n because_o they_o only_o be_v capable_a of_o understanding_n and_o believe_v the_o virtue_n and_o efficacy_n of_o it_o sure_o every_o rational_a man_n among_o you_o will_v conclude_v his_o child_n capable_a of_o the_o remedy_n as_o well_o as_o himself_o although_o ignorant_a of_o the_o virtue_n that_o be_v in_o it_o and_o only_o passive_a in_o the_o administration_n of_o it_o and_o that_o it_o will_v be_v cruelty_n yea_o murder_n in_o the_o parent_n to_o deny_v the_o application_n of_o it_o to_o all_o his_o child_n reply_n i_o stand_v amaze_v at_o such_o ignorance_n and_o folly_n do_v it_o follow_v because_o child_n be_v capable_a to_o receive_v a_o medicine_n against_o the_o plague_n or_o bodily_a distemper_n be_v they_o therefore_o capable_a of_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n if_o capable_a of_o one_o say_v i_o of_o the_o other_o also_o for_o as_o a_o man_n be_v require_v to_o examine_v himself_o and_o to_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n in_o the_o lord_n supper_n so_o he_o be_v require_v to_o repent_v and_o to_o believe_v in_o christ_n that_o come_v to_o baptism_n i_o will_v know_v how_o they_o prove_v baptism_n to_o be_v the_o medicine_n appoint_v to_o cure_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o plague_n of_o sin_n or_o as_o mr._n owen_n say_v for_o their_o salvation_n be_v not_o this_o to_o blind_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o poor_a people_n and_o make_v they_o think_v that_o a_o external_a ordinance_n save_v the_o soul_n if_o not_o thus_o how_o can_v it_o be_v cruelty_n yea_o murder_n in_o parent_n to_o deny_v the_o application_n of_o baptism_n to_o their_o child_n as_o mr._n burkit_n say_v the_o ancient_a father_n from_o that_o in_o john_n 6._o 53._o unless_o a_o man_n eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n he_o have_v no_o life_n in_o he_o give_v infant_n the_o lord_n supper_n think_v our_o saviour_n like_a as_o the_o papist_n do_v mean_v that_o sacrament_n when_o indeed_o he_o mean_v only_o of_o seed_v by_o faith_n on_o christ_n crucify_v but_o however_o their_o argument_n for_o give_v infant_n one_o sacrament_n be_v as_o good_a as_o you_o for_o give_v they_o the_o other_o but_o when_o they_o be_v as_o capable_a to_o repent_v and_o believe_v and_o be_v help_v so_o to_o do_v as_o they_o be_v and_o do_v eat_v bread_n or_o receive_v a_o medicine_n for_o a_o bodily_a distemper_n let_v they_o have_v both_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord's-supper_n and_o till_o then_o if_o god_n word_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o practice_n and_o not_o our_o own_o fancy_n they_o ought_v to_o have_v neither_o yet_o the_o remedy_n or_o medicine_n which_o be_v christ_n blood_n we_o deny_v not_o but_o die_a infant_n may_v be_v capable_a of_o though_o the_o way_n of_o its_o application_n we_o know_v not_o as_o to_o they_o that_o be_v a_o secret_a as_o to_o we_o you_o know_v the_o church_n of_o england_n positive_o affirm_v repentance_n whereby_o a_o person_n for_o sake_n sin_n and_o faith_n whereby_o he_o stedsast_o believe_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n make_v to_o he_o in_o that_o sacrament_n be_v require_v of_o those_o that_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v nay_o and_o of_o little_a babe_n too_o therefore_o the_o surety_n answer_v for_o they_o that_o they_o do_v believe_v and_o repent_v or_o forsake_v the_o devil_n and_o all_o his_o work_n etc._n etc._n the_o child_n answer_v by_o proxy_n the_o church_n of_o england_n baptise_n no_o child_n but_o as_o a_o believer_n and_o a_o true_a penitent_a person_n all_o that_o be_v proper_a subject_n of_o baptism_n be_v comprehend_v in_o the_o commission_n and_o must_v be_v as_o such_o whether_o adult_n or_o infant_n who_o profess_v faith_n and_o repentance_n but_o you_o it_o may_v be_v foresee_v the_o snake_n in_o the_o grass_n viz._n that_o godfather_n and_o godmother_n be_v a_o tradition_n and_o none_o of_o god_n appointment_n nor_o be_v they_o able_a to_o perform_v those_o thing_n for_o the_o child_n which_o they_o promise_v for_o he_o and_o in_o his_o name_n and_o therefore_o make_v use_n of_o another_o argument_n and_o will_v have_v they_o baptize_v without_o faith_n or_o upon_o their_o parent_n faith_n of_o which_o the_o church_n of_o england_n speak_v nothing_o as_o to_o your_o comparison_n it_o be_v not_o worth_a mention_v baptism_n as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o do_v not_o cure_v the_o soul_n of_o sin_n or_o save_v any_o person_n but_o it_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n apply_v by_o faith_n not_o that_o we_o say_v no_o child_n can_v have_v the_o benefit_n of_o that_o sovereign_a remedy_n because_o not_o capable_a to_o believe_v by_o reason_n man_n and_o woman_n must_v receive_v it_o by_o faith_n or_o perish_v god_n as_o dr._n taylor_n observe_v may_v have_v many_o way_n to_o magnify_v his_o grace_n through_o jesus_n christ_n to_o they_o which_o we_o know_v not_o of_o who_o die_v in_o their_o infancy_n yet_o have_v we_o no_o authority_n to_o baptize_v they_o any_o more_o than_o to_o give_v they_o the_o lord's-supper_n pedobaptist_n talk_n at_o a_o strange_a rate_n as_o if_o they_o regard_v not_o what_o they_o say_v or_o affirm_v while_o they_o bring_v similitude_n to_o teach_v people_n to_o believe_v baptism_n be_v the_o balm_n to_o cure_v the_o contagion_n of_o sin_n and_o as_o if_o the_o application_n of_o it_o save_v a_o little_a babe_n from_o hell_n and_o they_o guilty_a of_o murder_v the_o soul_n of_o their_o child_n who_o deny_v to_o baptize_v they_o i_o have_v think_v they_o will_v not_o have_v lay_v great_a stress_n upon_o child_n baptism_n than_o on_o child_n circumcision_n since_o they_o will_v fain_o have_v they_o run_v parallel-wise_a pray_v what_o become_v of_o the_o jew_n female_a infant_n be_v they_o
