cutteth away Carnall Concupiscence as instilling Grace into us by the which we may resist it And as in Circumcision Originall Sin was remitted so also not only in Baptism but even by the Grace of it the same Sin is exauctorated And in this Sense it was Signum typicum Signum Bonorum futurorum in Christo in cujus Mortem Baptizarentur Christiani CHAP. XLIX SHould I give it a kisse of Peace Dr Taylor in his Liberty of Prophesying Sect. 18. That Figures and Types prove nothing unlesse a Commandement go along with them or some expresse to signifie such to be their purpose although it unsalts yea grievously belepers Gregory the Great in a great part of his works I have expressed the Expresse being the Expresse expressed to the Colossians But I cannot give admittance to Idem ibid. all the following ●ardle Circumcision l●ft a Character in the flesh which being imprinted upon Infants did it's work to them when they came to age and such a Character was necessary because there was no word added to the signe but Baptism imprints nothing that remains on the Body the Character is on the Soule to which also the word is added which is as much a part of the Sacrament as the Signe it selfe is for both which reasons it is requisite that the Persons Baptized should be capable of Reason that they may be capable both of the Word of the Sacrament and of the Impresse made upon the Spirit Because the Godfathers anciently called Susceptores Undertakers and still Patrini and Compatres oblige themselves to acquaint these their Spirituall Children entring upon the years of Understanding with the ceremoniall Work and reall Effect of Baptism which involve both the Words and the Spirituall Character And the grown Children under the old Law could not understand the direction of the Character in the Flesh without such teaching which is the formall and lively direction the Fleshly Character being no direction without expresse teaching and but a materiall-one with it It was therefore even before the formall Institution of Priests and Levites the Duty of the Parent or Chiefe Person and First-born in the Family to instruct the Child afterwards And as words were not used in Circumcision so neither in any other Sacrament of the old Law because the words in Sacraments have necessary reference to the Word incarnate whom they designe and from whose actuall Passion words being inefficacious of themselves they have that they are effectuall Hence the School-Divines require that the Minister of a Sacrament in the administration of it shall intend to behave himselfe as a Dispenser of the Mysteries of Christ and farther teach that if he shall Baptize without intention or as a Devilish Engin of Contradiction with a positive Intention and resolution against it he will not act as a Dispenser of the Merits of Christ in his Mysteries but attribute strength to words in the manner of Witches and Conjurers which as meerly such are not forcible These Things orderly considered the Reason of the Parity betwixt the Sacraments fails not and the Argument though analogicall is efficacious I understand at last that I doe not make these Batteries against the Doctor 's Judgement but his Policy And again I bleed inwardly with grieving that the Divines in eminent places should betray Spirituall Truth to found the Colossus of a temporall Purpose for this was truly the false and unfriendly betraying of a most invinsible Fort to a most false enemy of Truth As if the mysticall Body and the chained Order of it were subordinate to a Civill Body and it's Order and Chaine And as if Heaven were not rightly placed above Earth and God above Princes I am assured that he found no such lineament in the Exemplar the Life of Christ Yet I hope he will furnish us with Holy Lifes and Prayers enough to redeeme his Errour And perhaps he will write seriously for God of the same Subject as he hath written against him in jest and mockery Fie fie Abeat in Proverbium Let it passe into a Proverbe A Doctor amongst the Anabaptists The Judgement of Agapetus was both ordinat● and edificatory as is evidenced by the religious Councill he gave to Justin●an the Emperour Caesar … ius Tom ●an Just●niano Sceptrum Imperil cùm a Deo susceperis cogitato quibusnam modis placebis et qui id tibi dedit cùmque omnibus Hominibus ab eo sis praelatus prae omnibus eum honorare fest●na Whereas you have received the Scrpter of the Empire from God thinke by what means you shal please him who gave it unto you and whereas you are set by him before all men has●en to Honour him before all Men and to set God-pleasing above the pleasing of Men. But the mourning Nightingale sitting upon the sharp Thorn in the midst of my Heart sweetly sings to me that the sublime Soul of the royall Clay abhorred this low hellish Atheisticall and most dirty Stratugem CHAP. L. I Confirm the Argument first If the Children of Christian Parents should be thus excluded from Baptism they would be empaled into a narrower and more limited Condition than the Children of the Jewes under the Law the Sacrament of Circumcision opening to these the royall Dore of God's Visible Church and entring them as blessed Partakers of his Promises And so the Sacred and compleat Ordinances of Christ should be most unnaturally Circumcised and Circumscribed which in their Nature Work and End are much more large and ample than those of the Law The Intention of the Ordainer in his Personall Comming Christ the Fountain of Grace now comming visibly and in Person with his Fountain running Wine and Oyl being not to shorten abridge or abolish but to lengthen enlarge and multiply Evangelicall priviledges as appears in the multitude of Persons now accepted to Grace by Generall acceptation and of their extraordinary Graces and the extraordinary Manners of their being given And the fundamentall aim of the divine Ordainer that works in his second works which are his works of Grace agreeably to his first Works which are his Works of Nature and in Whose only power it is to institute a Type because it is in his Power only to annex the Thing Typified being to make plain that the Substance is more effectuall than the Shadow the End more excellent than the meanes and the succeding Antitype than the preceding Type Children therefore may not be Losers but must be Gainers by the comming of Christ and that they may be Gainers must be supported from falling into a Chas●● by an Evangelicall Sacrament He that shall urge here 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 polemically Children accordingly Mr Tombs in his Examen should receive the Sacrament of the Eucharist because they were admitted to the Passeover must prove and binde it fast with the nerves and ar●eires of strong Arguments that Infants were admitted to the Passeover as to the receiving of that Sacrament the manner of Exod.
