A39051	Plain and exquisite Scripture-proof, that St. John Baptist and the blessed Apostles, and all the primitive baptizers, did baptize by sprinkling, or pouring water upon the person or persons they baptized, and not by dipping the person into water ... also some observations upon Mr. Keach's reflections upon my late treatise, intituled, Plain and express Scripture proofs, that John Baptist did as certainly baptize infants in the church of the Jews as the adult, with the confirmation of the truth reflected against by him / by Joshua Exell ...

by Christ with his spirit so it is also of the outward and external and the latter word is used to express the legal purifications Acts 21.24 Whereby we have the Testimony of this blessed servant of God as to his acceptation and his signification of the word And we have another text to shew his acceptation of the word to be the same with Peters Acts 15.9 13. and Peters to be the same with Johns in Acts the 8.14 15 16. Now when the Apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that the Gentiles had received the word of God They sent to them Peter and John Who when they were come prayed for them that they might receive the holy Ghost For as yet he was fallen upon none of them only they were Baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Then they laid their hands on them and they received the holy Ghost Observe It was fallen upon none of them as yet Not they put into that but it fell upon them and they received it And Paul's and James his acceptation of it was the same with all the rest Acts 11.15 16. And in Acts 15.6 7 8 9. When Peter had declared how God at first did take out of the Gentiles a people for his name and put no difference between the believing Jews and them purifying their hearts by faith The Apostle James brings a text relating to the spiritual seed of David Acts 15.13 14 15.16 And confirms what Peter had said which is a sufficient proof that he understood it in the same sense that Peter did Ninthly Let us enquire how Paul the great Apostle of the Gentiles did understand this word and what he did intend by this word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Who we read partook of the Baptizing with water and with the holy Ghost also as Acts 9.18 And his repetition of it in Acts 22.16 And here with respect to Paul as all the servants of Christ the holy Apostles and as Christ their Lord and master did understand accept and use this word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to signifie pouring upon shedding upon and sprinkling with So did this holy and faithful servant of Christ take it and use it to signifie the same As may appear in his Epistle both to the Circumcision the Hebrews and in his discourses with them as to the spiritual Baptism by Christ with his spirit For his apprehension of the Inward Baptism with the holy Ghost see Acts 19.1 2 3 4 5 6. He came in his Journeying and Travels to Ephesus and finding certain disciples he said unto them Have ye received the holy Ghost since ye believed And they said unto him we have not so much as heard whether there be any holy Ghost Where by the way we may see how much truth there is in that perswasion That John baptized none but true penitents and this repentance to be made forth by a confession of their sins These could do this with the witness that had not heard so much as whether there were any holy Ghost And he said unto them Unto what then were ye Baptized And they said Unto Johns Baptism Then said Paul John verily baptized with the baptism of Repentance saying unto the People that they should believe in him that was to come after that is on Christ Jesus When they heard this they were Baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Where observe that there is no record of any confession required or made of the truth of the grace of faith as wrought in their hearts to give them a right to Baptism verse 6th When Paul had laid his hands on them he did not put them into his hands but laid his hands on them As the Apostles Peter and John did Acts 8.15 16 17. The holy Ghost came on them 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The holy Ghost came upon THEM not they took and dipt into that The Learned tell us that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and is used again in abundance of places in the New Testament As John 1.7 11. Luke 2.27 Matth. 2.21 c. So in Titus the 3.5 6. Which he shed on us abundantly Through Jesus Christ our Saviour It is not put them into that but poured out or shed forth that upon them The word is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 used again in Acts 2.16 33. So also in Hebrews 10.22 He witnesseth the same thing which is Baptizing with the holy Ghost Let us Draw near c. Having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience Acts 19.2 Have ye received the holy Ghost so Acts 10.47 Where observe that all that we receive does come to us not we be put or dipt into that So in Rom. 5.17 All that we have of the abundance of Grace is said to be received and all the difference that is made between us and others or between what we were in our selves is said to be received in 1 Cor. 4.7 And whatsoever is given to us is said to fall upon us or come to us Acts 10.44 47. So that with all clearness Paul does bear witness that he understood by Christs Baptizing with the holy Ghost Pouring upon shedding upon sprinkling with the holy Ghost and not our being Dipped into that And as to his apprehension and use of the word as to the external baptism with water we may have a clear discovery from Scripture also And one text we have his acceptation of it as to that discovered in is in 1. Cor. 10.2 Where he speaks only of the Outward sign and nothing of the internal Baptism by the holy Ghost and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Which should be rendered and were all Baptized unto Moses by or with the Cloud in the Sea That is in the place where the Sea did use to run though now the Motion of it was Stopped by the mighty power of God And a way made for them to Pass over as upon dry land Heb. 11.29 There can be but two ways of Baptizing with water the one is by applying or putting the person into water and the other by applying the water to the Person by pouring of it out upon him or sprinkling him with it Now in the text their being baptized is asserted and affirmed by the holy Ghost And the Baptizor Named is Moses by whose conduct they were bid go on Exod 14.15 And the way whereby it was done is intimated to us by the Instrument thereof the Cloud and the place where it was done and that is in the Red Sea Which they passed through as upon dry land Heb. 11.29 Now Dipped or sprinkled they must be But Dipped in water they could not be nor were not because they passed as upon dry land Heb. 11.29 And the Red Sea stood up like a wall Therefore sprinkled they must be and were Because not Dipped They passed 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 rendered by transeo trajicio used again Acts 16.9

Sadduces chiefly And that is in the plural Number fruits and not fruit and how dare he or any else to limit where God doth not and to require fewer fruits than Gods word doth And to make a verbal confession to be equal with any other fruit of repentance and yet say who can know certainly who is in the covenant of God by it and say that the fruit of the life is the loudest discovery of the change in the heart and yet verbal confession must do all and where can he prove that verbal confession to man is a certain fruit of true repentance as for Philip's requiring a confession that is as false as all the rest For he required none He saith if thou believest with all thine heart thou mayest But not if thou confessest If he or any else say it is Implyed that will be no help to him For if Phillip required or intended to have a confession of the truth of his grace as it is writ in his heart Why did he take a confession of the object of faith and if the Eunuch had understood Philip to intend the discovery of the truth of his faith as wrought in his heart Why did he confess something of the object of faith c. And for the confession mentioned Rom. 10.10 That is a confession to salvation and not to baptism and to God and not to man and of practice and not verbal only The Pharisees baptizing their hands was an honouring God with their mouth that is with their outward man Matth. 15.8 Mark 7.6 Would this Gentleman have persons confess heir sins to him upon their knees as people are to do to God in prayer You that have so required and preached and printed for confession shew your command for such a confession to give right to baptism or publish your repentance and do it no more 26. Observe he saith no doubt of it but it was a confession of actual sins and therefore it did concern Infants Observe if Infants were to be cast out of the Church of God if they could not make it then it did concern them for what they were to be cut off for the Omission of that did concern them Gen. 17.14 and then persons at age must commit those sins or else they could not commit them nor be capable to gain a right by it to be baptized See my treatise from 36. to 55 〈…〉 27. Observe He saith p. 53. That the baptizing with the holy Ghost doth not signify the communication of the savin● graces of the spirit to true believers or their participation of them But the v●si●le gif●●●f tongues and working of Miracles c. ●et all flesh see this proved false in my treatise He refle●ts agai●st p. 51. an● also in this ensuing and let all flesh Judge of the dreadful Impudency of thi● man that should dare in the face of to many express scriptures produced and undenia●le arguments to a●●ert such ●alsities and for his reproachful slander against me to say I abuse those tex●s R●m 5. ● And Mala. ● L●●● 1 1● L●● the thinking and Impartial view their exp●●●●●on And the argumen●●rom ●n my tre●●ise p. 60 51 62 63 64 65.

That the wo●d a●l do●h include and in●end Infants as well as adul● 3. That this is as expresly dec ared as to the B●p●ism o● Infants as the adult First That the Church f the Jews was then when John baptized the visible Church of G●d and this is clear in that ●●hn calls them his flo●r Matth. 3.2 and they are called his o●n J●●n 1 1● 11. and the Vineyard ●o ●hem all the servants and the H●ir ●lso was sent Matth. 21.32 to 40.

To prove that the word all doth include Infant as well a Adult And I shall produce no other texts ●o prove i● than s●me of them that Mr. Keach doth quote in his 36. p. Where he puts the word all to Jerusalem ●hat I never put in and leaves out ●he word ages that I mention'd p. 36 37. The First text he produceth is Exod. 9.6 That it did no● signif● ever● individual Answ But will any have the ●ace to say that there we●e no young cattel amongst the old If Mr Keach or any of his mind can and do prove i● then I may know what to say but not before Another is John 12.32 Christ drawing all men to him But will he say that he draweth no Infants to him He hath gran●ed that God doth and may s●nctify some Infants And if he grant it is enough p. 38 47 49. So Christs dying for the elect only and not for every Individual But doth not he acknowledge that there are some elect Infants See p. 4● or 49. of his reflections Another text is Gen. 24.10 All the goods of his master were in his hand And if he can prove th t he had not young asses and cam●ls in his h●nd as well as old ones let all the Impartial thinking persons Judge So that by more t●an two or three ●exts quoted by him the word all doth include and intend some of all ages were in Israel and discharge all the rest from any sin guilt or punishment though they did not come Luke 7 3● and it s●gnifieth every Individual Mr. Keach saith in p. 37. When the matter spoken of doth equally concern all and ●f Repentance and Remission of sins and deliverance from hell and death and eternal life by Christ doth not equally concern every soul where the Gospel comes Let all Judges see Acts ● 23 26.
