W. 1644. A confutation of A. R. his TRACTATE entituled The Vanitie of childrens baptisme THe presse now adays is like Africa ●emper aliquid apportat novi monstri it brings forth every day some new monster among which one of the most ugly and mishapen is a Treatise printed by A. R. of The Vanitie of childish baptisme quis furor ô cives quae tanta licentia praeli O the impietie of the men of these times the more to be condemned by all after-ages by how much they condemn the pietie and devotion of the former An ordinance of God and most holy sacrament instituted by Christ and from the dayes of the Apostles even to this present age administred by the whole church to the children of beleevers is tearmed by the vain author of this Treatise upon weak and childish reasons vain and childish Is everie action childish whereof children are the subject Then was circumcision childish and the protection of Angells is childish and the imposition of hands and benediction of our blessed Saviour I tremble to speak it in the language of this black-mouthed Treatiser will be concluded to be vain and childish For the sacrament of circumcision by Gods commandement was administred to children the Angells of heaven are childrens guardians and our Redeemer himself took children in his arms layd his hands upon them and blessed them And if he commanded children to be brought unto him shall not we bring them to the church If he embraced them shall not we receive them into his familie If he layd his hands on them shall not we wash them in his sacred font If he blessed them shall not we pray for them and after a religious manner consecrate them unto him and make them free of the citie of God according to Abrahams copie I will be thy God and the God of thy seed Herod the Ascalonite and Richard the third King of England were branded with anote of infamy and barbarous crueltie to allages the one for ●●isling the young princes of the blood and heires of the crown of England the other for massaging the infants in Bethlehem and the confines thereof yet those bloodie tyrants deprived those sweet babes only of their temporall life of how much deeper dye is their sin who by their soul-murthering doctrine and practise endeavour to deprive the heires apparent not of an earthly but of a celestiall crown and all the children of the faithfull throughout the whole Christian world of the ordinarie means of eternall life Whatsoever fair varnish hath been of late put upon this heresie it seemed so horrid and abominable in the eyes of our predecessors and other reformed churches they inflicted the severest punishments upon the obstinate maintainers thereof that they could devise At Zurick after many disputations between Zuinglius and the Anabaptists the Senate made an act that if any presumed to rebaptise those that were baptized before they should be drowned In the year of our Lord 1539. five Dutch Anabaptists were burnt in Smithfield and two beyond Southwark in the way to Newington At Vienna many Anabaptists were so tyed together in chains that one drew the other after him into the river wherein they were all suffocated vid. supr● Here you may see the hand of God in punishing these sectaries some way answerable to their sin according to the observation of the wise man quo quis peccat co punietur they who drew others into the whirl-pool of error by constraint draw one another into the river to be drowned and they who prophaned baptisme by a second dipping rue it a third immersion But the punishment of these Catabaptists we leave to them that have the legislative power in their hands who though by present connivence they may seem to give them line yet no doubt it is that they may more entangle themselvs and more easily be caught For my part I seek not the confusion of their persons but the confutation of their errors two whereof A. R. undertaketh strenuously to defend The first is the necessitie of dipping in baptisme dipping saith he in his title-page is baptizing and baptizing dipping and p. 8. the institution of Christ requireth that the whole man be dipped all over in water This he endeavoureth to prove out of Mark 1. 8. and Ioh. 1. 26. and Plutarch l. de superstitione 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and Act. 11. 16. c. 8. 38. 39. Philip and the Eunuch went down both into the water and Mat. 3. 16. Christ went with Iohn into the water p. 11. and Col. 2. 12. buried with him in baptisme and Rom. 6. 4. 5. were buried with him by baptisme into his death Now let any man saith he that is not quite fallen out of his reason judge whether washing or sprinkling the face with water or dipping the whole man into water doth answer all these texts of scripture I answer this is a weak and childish fallacie For ex particulari non est syllogizari no man in his right wits will conclude a generall from a particular as he doth here Some men that were baptized went into the river therefore all that be baptized must do so The word baptizo sometimes signifieth to dip therefore it alwayes signifieth so Although in the places alledged the preposition 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 signifieth not in but with as the words immediatly following 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 make it plain and therefore both the Geneva and the last translation render the words not I have baptized you in water but he will baptize you in the holy Ghost but I
