A79489	A Christian plea for infants baptisme. Or a confutation of some things written by A.R. in his treatise, entitutled, The second part of the vanitie and childishnesse of infants baptisme. In the answer whereof, the lawfulnesse of infants baptisme is defended, and the arguments against it disproved, by sufficient grounds and forcible reasons, drawn from the sweet fountains of holy Scripture.

confirmation_n of_o his_o former_a speech_n or_o the_o use_n which_o christ_n disciple_n shall_v make_v concern_v themselves_o be_v not_o to_o be_v forget_v very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o whosoever_o shall_v not_o receive_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n as_o a_o little_a child_n he_o shall_v in_o no_o wise_n enter_v therein_o mar._n 10.15_o luk._n 18.17_o eight_o we_o be_v to_o mind_n christ_n act_n

these_o thing_n distinct_o and_o discreet_o and_o then_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v evident_o appear_v unto_o you_o that_o you_o be_v mistake_v in_o your_o meaning_n and_o have_v do_v very_o evil_a though_o you_o mean_v never_o so_o well_o in_o say_v that_o christ_n meaning_n be_v not_o of_o they_o nor_o of_o such_o as_o they_o in_o age_n etc._n etc._n for_o indeed_o you_o may_v as_o well_o say_v that_o those_o be_v not_o infant_n who_o christ_n take_v up_o in_o his_o arm_n and_o that_o he_o do_v not_o lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o they_o nor_o bless_v they_o nor_o such_o as_o they_o in_o age_n and_o understanding_n but_o sure_o if_o the_o scripture_n in_o speak_v of_o such_o person_n do_v not_o exclude_v the_o person_n speak_v of_o than_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o exclude_v these_o infant_n here_o specify_v but_o to_o know_v that_o christ_n jesus_n who_o be_v once_o a_o infant_n and_o like_o other_o infant_n both_o in_o age_n and_o understanding_n nature_n understanding_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o humane_a nature_n he_o include_v the_o infant_n &_o those_o like_a unto_o they_o both_o in_o age_n and_o understanding_n when_o he_o say_v of_o such_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n consider_v how_o that_o the_o infant_n infant_n infant_n not_o age_v person_n like_o infant_n be_v bring_v unto_o christ_n the_o intent_n of_o those_o that_o bring_v they_o be_v good_a and_o their_o act_n in_o bring_v they_o be_v please_v unto_o god_n the_o truth_n of_o this_o may_v appear_v by_o observe_v the_o declaration_n of_o their_o intention_n and_o likewise_o christ_n great_a displeasure_n or_o offence_n give_v by_o and_o take_v at_o his_o disciple_n because_o they_o rebuke_v those_o that_o bring_v they_o he_o be_v much_o displease_v say_v the_o

servant_n through_o his_o knowledge_n do_v not_o justify_v many_o infant_n as_o well_o as_o other_o christ_n double_a charge_n unto_o his_o disciple_n that_o the_o holy_a infant_n shall_v have_v free_a access_n and_o admittance_n unto_o he_o without_o any_o let_v or_o hindrance_n by_o any_o and_o christ_n forcible_a reason_n for_o it_o namely_o for_o or_o because_o of_o such_o be_v the_o

do_v further_o declare_v the_o strength_n and_o sufficiency_n of_o i_o and_o the_o weakness_n and_o insufficiency_n of_o your_o interpretation_n seven_o as_o without_o christ_n mind_n you_o have_v take_v upon_o you_o to_o deliver_v christ_n meaning_n contrary_a to_o his_o own_o expression_n manifestation_n and_o commission_n so_o you_o cite_v 1_o cor._n 14.20_o for_o confirmation_n of_o your_o strange_a restriction_n of_o christ_n declaration_n concern_v the_o infant_n as_o if_o paul_n be_v a_o patron_n of_o this_o your_o fond_a opinion_n but_o i_o tell_v you_o in_o this_o you_o be_v much_o deceive_v also_o and_o do_v err_v and_o as_o i_o in_o charity_n judge_n do_v not_o know_v the_o scripture_n it_o be_v no_o part_n of_o paul_n doctrine_n to_o speak_v of_o holy_a infant_n as_o you_o do_v he_o tell_v we_o they_o be_v holy_a 7.14_o holy_a 1_o cor_fw-la 7.14_o and_o this_o his_o exhortation_n in_o 1_o cor._n 14.20_o make_v nothing_o for_o you_o against_o holy_a infant_n for_o paul_n do_v not_o speak_v unto_o infant_n when_o he_o say_v brethren_n be_v not_o child_n in_o understanding_n howbeit_o in_o malice_n be_v you_o child_n but_o in_o understanding_n be_v man_n now_o who_o know_v not_o but_o that_o those_o saint_n who_o be_v capable_a to_o act_v be_v to_o perform_v act_n of_o obedience_n unto_o god_n when_o those_o saint_n who_o be_v not_o capable_a to_o act_v be_v not_o bounnd_v so_o to_o do_v for_o as_o have_v be_v declare_v before_o god_n require_v actual_a obedience_n of_o his_o people_n so_o far_o as_o they_o can_v act_v &_o no_o further_o and_o so_o paul_n speech_n be_v not_o to_o bind_v we_o to_o impossibily_n but_o to_o teach_v we_o who_o have_v capabilitie_n to_o exercise_v the_o same_o to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o our_o power_n in_o search_v after_o the_o mycry_n of_o christ_n &_o in_o treasure_v up_o those_o divine_a truth_n which_o be_v teach_v we_o by_o his_o spirit_n and_o this_o make_v nothing_o against_o holy_a infant_n be_v in_o the_o covenant_n or_o kingdom_n no_o more_o than_o it_o make_v against_o those_o age_a saint_n who_o in_o respect_n of_o a_o natural_a capabilitie_n be_v like_o child_n and_o know_v no_o more_o than_o infant_n know_v nor_o do_v no_o more_o than_o infant_n do_v and_o yet_o do_v as_o much_o as_o god_n require_v and_o in_o respect_n of_o a_o spiritual_a capabilitie_n be_v like_o those_o saint_n who_o be_v capable_a to_o act_v &_o do_v act_n according_a to_o the_o same_o and_o yet_o those_o who_o want_v that_o capabilitie_n whether_o christian_a infant_n or_o other_o saint_n though_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n spirit_n do_v not_o appear_v in_o they_o in_o the_o blossom_n or_o fruit_n yet_o have_v they_o still_o the_o sap_n and_o seed_n of_o all_o christian_a grace_n in_o they_o even_o as_o a_o man_n or_o child_n which_o have_v not_o the_o use_n or_o exercise_v of_o reason_n must_v not_o be_v judge_v to_o be_v a_o unreasonable_a creature_n &_o whole_o destitute_a of_o reason_n but_o a_o reasonable_a creature_n so_o these_o precious_a saint_n before_o specify_v though_o they_o have_v not_o the_o use_n and_o exercise_v of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o can_v show_v forth_o the_o same_o in_o the_o fruit_n or_o outward_a manifestation_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v esteem_v ungracious_a or_o destitute_a of_o god_n grace_n but_o gracious_a saint_n and_o though_o they_o be_v in_o understanding_n like_o child_n yet_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o capableness_n of_o the_o spirit_n they_o be_v to_o be_v esteem_v as_o precious_a as_o any_o man_n on_o earth_n and_o we_o be_v not_o to_o judge_v otherwise_o but_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v glorify_v and_o make_v equal_a with_o the_o angel_n and_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o heaven_n now_o your_o citation_n of_o paul_n word_n 1_o cor._n 14.20_o be_v not_o child_n in_o understanding_n etc._n etc._n to_o confirm_v what_o you_o infer_v and_o collect_v from_o christ_n word_n concern_v infant_n do_v imply_v that_o you_o do_v judge_v that_o all_o those_o who_o be_v like_o those_o infant_n in_o year_n or_o understanding_n be_v not_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o this_o your_o interpretation_n bring_v in_o three_o absurdity_n first_o it_o direct_o contradict_v christ_n word_n which_o he_o speak_v concern_v they_o and_o check_v he_o in_o his_o action_n which_o he_o do_v to_o they_o upon_o they_o and_o for_o they_o and_o so_o you_o make_v the_o word_n and_o action_n of_o christ_n both_o vain_a and_o frivolous_a second_o your_o speech_n impli_v that_o believer_n infant_n be_v not_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o so_o their_o minority_n hinder_v their_o salvation_n if_o they_o die_v in_o their_o infancy_n and_o this_o strike_v at_o the_o fundamental_a principle_n of_o god_n free_a love_n unto_o they_o in_o christ_n jesus_n three_o in_o imply_v that_o none_o be_v of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n who_o be_v like_o infant_n in_o understanding_n here_o i_o think_v you_o bring_v in_o a_o heavy_a censure_n against_o yourself_o for_o i_o suppose_v as_o you_o know_v not_o how_o soon_o your_o life_n shall_v be_v take_v from_o you_o the_o like_o you_o may_v say_v for_o your_o understanding_n and_o when_o your_o understanding_n be_v take_v away_o which_o may_v be_v do_v and_o
