A74998	Some baptismal abuses briefly discovered. Or A cordial endeavour to reduce the administration and use of baptism, to its primitive purity; in two parts. The first part, tending to disprove the lawfulness of infant baptism. The second part, tending to prove it necessary for persons to be baptized after they believe, their infant baptism, or any pre-profession of the Gospel notwithstanding. As also, discovering the disorder and irregularity that is in mixt communion of persons baptized, with such as are unbaptized, in church-fellowship. By William Allen.

whether_o the_o former_a it_o will_v amount_v much_o to_o the_o same_o as_o concern_v that_o which_o i_o will_v gather_v from_o this_o example_n for_o 1._o if_o those_o which_o be_v baptize_v by_o john_n himself_o be_v afterward_o baptize_v again_o when_o they_o come_v to_o own_o jesus_n to_o be_v the_o christ_n and_o that_o because_o their_o former_a baptism_n be_v insuffient_a in_o respect_n of_o some_o important_a end_n of_o baptism_n and_o in_o particular_a in_o respect_n of_o assert_v jesus_n to_o be_v the_o christ_n a_o principal_a end_n of_o baptism_n than_o those_o that_o come_v

administration_n and_o reception_n of_o these_o twelve_o disciple_n baptism_n be_v the_o reason_n of_o their_o rebaptisation_a as_o the_o other_o opinion_n hold_v than_o there_o be_v like_a reason_n likewise_o why_o those_o who_o have_v be_v baptize_v in_o their_o infancy_n shall_v notwithstanding_o that_o be_v baptize_v when_o they_o come_v to_o repent_v and_o believe_v because_o that_o infant-administration_n though_o not_o in_o the_o self_n same_o respect_n be_v deep_o erroneous_a as_o well_o as_o they_o as_o have_v be_v former_o prove_v but_o in_o as_o much_o as_o my_o judgement_n do_v much_o rather_o incline_v to_o the_o former_a opinion_n than_o this_o late_a as_o touch_v the_o reason_n why_o these_o disciple_n be_v rebaptise_v i_o shall_v therefore_o here_o give_v this_o further_a account_n thereof_o and_o so_o far_o as_o i_o can_v perceive_v upon_o a_o serious_a consideration_n of_o thing_n a_o rebaptisation_a be_v necessary_a in_o those_o that_o have_v be_v baptize_v by_o john_n christ_n only_a except_v as_o a_o case_n extraordinary_a in_o order_n to_o their_o reception_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n

the_o first_o and_o pure_a time_n of_o that_o administration_n if_o then_o the_o right_n subject_a matter_n to_o be_v baptize_v and_o the_o due_a external_a form_n of_o baptism_n be_v both_o want_v in_o that_o baptism_n which_o be_v and_o have_v be_v administer_v to_o infant_n then_o certain_o such_o a_o baptism_n have_v that_o want_v in_o it_o which_o be_v essential_a to_o the_o true_a be_v of_o baptism_n for_o what_o be_v more_o intrinsical_o essential_a to_o the_o be_v of_o a_o thing_n than_o matter_n and_o form_n or_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a to_o define_v baptism_n or_o any_o thing_n else_o without_o the_o matter_n and_o form_n which_o do_v intrinsical_o constitute_v the_o very_a essence_n and_o be_v thereof_o and_o certain_o that_o which_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o the_o true_a definition_n of_o baptism_n as_o of_o all_o other_o thing_n be_v absolute_o and_o essential_o necessary_a to_o the_o be_v of_o it_o and_o therefore_o where_o either_o the_o true_a matter_n or_o the_o right_a form_n of_o a_o thing_n be_v want_v much_o more_o where_o both_o be_v want_v which_o be_v the_o case_n in_o infant-baptism_n there_o doubtless_o be_v a_o total_a deficiency_n or_o nonentity_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o which_o clear_o be_v the_o case_n of_o infant-baptism_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o question_n in_o hand_n and_o therefore_o he_o that_o think_v to_o build_v any_o such_o thing_n upon_o that_o baptism_n he_o have_v receive_v in_o his_o infancy_n which_o be_v competent_a or_o proper_a to_o true_a baptism_n indeed_o have_v but_o air_n and_o vanity_n for_o his_o foundation_n the_o second_o thing_n to_o be_v inquire_v into_o be_v whether_o baptism_n by_o water_n ought_v necessary_o to_o be_v receive_v by_o such_o person_n who_o have_v for_o some_o considerable_a space_n of_o time_n make_v profession_n of_o the_o faith_n though_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o they_o be_v never_o due_o baptize_v before_o since_o such_o a_o long_a continue_a course_n of_o profession_n precede_v baptism_n render_v such_o a_o administration_n of_o that_o ordinance_n unparallel_a and_o without_o example_n in_o scripture_n and_o since_o also_o the_o end_n of_o baptism_n hereby_o seem_v to_o be_v anticipate_v or_o prevent_v which_o question_n i_o must_v needs_o resolve_v in_o the_o affirmative_a and_o do_v say_v that_o notwithstanding_o all_o that_o be_v pretend_v to_o the_o contrary_a it_o be_v a_o thing_n necessary_a and_o a_o duty_n incumbent_n on_o every_o such_o man_n and_o woman_n as_o have_v not_o be_v baptize_v before_o with_o a_o baptism_n due_o so_o call_v to_o submit_v to_o and_o take_v up_o the_o ordinance_n of_o water-baptism_n though_o it_o be_v not_o till_o long_o after_o the_o time_n in_o which_o they_o first_o begin_v a_o conscientious_a profession_n of_o the_o gospel_n otherwise_o here_o i_o take_v for_o grant_v upon_o account_n of_o what_o i_o have_v before_o deliver_v that_o infant-baptism_n and_o no_o baptism_n be_v of_o the_o same_o consideration_n this_o difference_n only_o except_v viz._n that_o infant-baptism_n be_v a_o sin_n of_o commission_n in_o those_o that_o occasion_n it_o and_o non-baptism_n be_v a_o sin_n of_o omission_n in_o those_o that_o neglect_v it_o when_o otherwise_o they_o be_v due_o qualify_v for_o it_o in_o the_o manage_n of_o this_o resolution_n of_o the_o question_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v 1_o to_o lay_v down_o some_o reason_n and_o ground_n thereof_o and_o 2._o to_o answer_v those_o exception_n and_o objection_n which_o take_v place_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o some_o against_o the_o practice_n of_o baptism_n upon_o such_o term_n the_o ground_n on_o which_o i_o do_v assert_v baptism_n necessary_a though_o but_o on_o the_o term_n before_o
