A43469	Some plain letters in the defence of infant baptism and of the mode of baptizing (now generally used in the Church of England), which may serve, for a confutation of a small treatise entituled The reason why not infant-sprinkling, but believers-baptism ought to be approved, &c.	Hewerdine, Thomas, 1659 or 60-1738?	1699 (1699)	Wing H1630; ESTC R5896	62,852	138

every_o way_n alter_v for_o the_o better_a but_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o any_o one_o privilege_n of_o enter_v into_o it_o nay_o but_o certain_o as_o child_n be_v admit_v into_o the_o church_n before_o that_o reformation_n so_o be_v they_o to_o be_v admit_v still_o unless_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o reformation_n to_o exclude_v they_o and_o thus_o upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n it_o be_v very_o plain_a that_o unless_o our_o bless_a saviour_n have_v forbid_v infant_n to_o be_v admit_v into_o his_o church_n they_o be_v still_o to_o be_v admit_v whether_o he_o have_v command_v their_o admission_n or_o no._n and_o here_o i_o may_v fix_v the_o controversy_n and_o justify_v their_o admission_n till_o you_o can_v prove_v that_o our_o lord_n have_v forbid_v it_o which_o i_o dare_v venture_v to_o say_v you_o will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o do_v nay_o but_o our_o lord_n have_v not_o only_o not_o forbid_v their_o admission_n into_o the_o church_n but_o he_o have_v express_o teach_v and_o command_v it_o for_o first_o that_o child_n ought_v to_o be_v admit_v into_o his_o church_n he_o have_v express_o teach_v in_o that_o celebrate_a text_n suffer_v little_a child_n to_o come_v unto_o i_o and_o forbid_v they_o not_o for_o of_o such_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n which_o text_n be_v speak_v by_o way_n of_o reprimand_n to_o his_o disciple_n who_o will_v have_v keep_v child_n from_o he_o and_o therefore_o when_o he_o reprove_v they_o and_o say_v suffer_v little_a child_n to_o come_v unto_o i_o he_o must_v needs_o mean_v such_o child_n as_o they_o will_v have_v keep_v from_o he_o but_o these_o be_v such_o as_o be_v bring_v unto_o he_o and_o such_o as_o he_o take_v up_o in_o his_o arm_n and_o be_v therefore_o little_a child_n in_o a_o literal_a sense_n the_o word_n indeed_o be_v suffer_v little_a child_n to_o come_v unto_o i_o and_o therefore_o say_v some_o let_v they_o stay_v then_o till_o they_o can_v come_v but_o if_o this_o be_v our_o saviour_n meaning_n may_v not_o his_o disciple_n very_o ready_o have_v answer_v lord_n we_o have_v not_o hinder_v any_o such_o from_o come_v that_o can_v come_v all_o that_o we_o have_v do_v be_v only_o to_o rebuke_n those_o that_o bring_v their_o child_n and_o thus_o if_o child_n may_v not_o be_v bring_v to_o christ_n but_o if_o they_o be_v to_o be_v keep_v back_o till_o they_o themselves_o can_v come_v to_o he_o i_o can_v see_v what_o the_o disciple_n have_v here_o do_v for_o our_o lord_n to_o be_v displease_v at_o and_o yet_o the_o text_n say_v positive_o that_o he_o be_v much_o displease_v and_o say_v suffer_v little_a child_n to_o come_v unto_o i_o mark_v 10.14_o and_o therefore_o unless_o we_o have_v no_o more_o grace_n or_o wit_n than_o to_o say_v that_o he_o be_v displease_v at_o nothing_o we_o must_v allow_v that_o the_o child_n who_o he_o will_v have_v suffer_v to_o come_v to_o he_o be_v such_o as_o his_o disciple_n will_v have_v keep_v from_o he_o and_o these_o be_v such_o as_o be_v bring_v unto_o he_o and_o such_o as_o he_o take_v up_o in_o his_o arms._n but_o perhaps_o you_o will_v say_v what_o then_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n to_o come_v unto_o i_o suffer_v little_a child_n to_o come_v unto_o i_o sir_n i_o find_v a_o answer_n make_v to_o this_o by_o mr._n walker_n viz._n that_o to_o come_v unto_o christ_n signify_v to_o become_v a_o disciple_n of_o christ_n for_o so_o when_o our_o saviour_n say_v come_v unto_o i_o all_o you_o that_o labour_n his_o meaning_n be_v become_v disciple_n to_o i_o mat._n 11.28_o and_o again_o when_o it_o be_v say_v behold_v jesus_n baptize_v and_o all_o man_n come_v to_o he_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o they_o all_o become_v his_o disciple_n john_n 3.26_o and_o again_o you_o will_v not_o come_v to_o i_o say_v our_o lord_n that_o be_v you_o will_v not_o become_v my_o disciple_n john_n 5.4_o the_o same_o excellent_a author_n have_v observe_v from_o dr._n hammond_n that_o we_o may_v read_v the_o word_n proselyte_n in_o the_o very_a original_a text_n mat._n 19.14_o for_o there_o the_o original_a word_n be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o turn_v into_o english_a do_v even_o compose_v and_o make_v up_o the_o word_n proselyte_n and_o so_o in_o st._n matthew_n i_o say_v the_o original_a word_n be_v suffer_v little_a child_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d that_o be_v to_o be_v proselyte_n to_o i_o or_o to_o be_v my_o disciple_n for_o to_o be_v a_o proselyte_n and_o to_o be_v a_o disciple_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n as_o when_o our_o lord_n say_v to_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n that_o they_o have_v compass_a sea_n and_o land_n to_o make_v one_o proselyte_n the_o meaning_n be_v that_o they_o have_v compass_v sea_n and_o land_n to_o make_v one_o disciple_n and_o thus_o have_v our_o lord_n very_o plain_o teach_v we_o that_o little_a child_n must_v be_v suffer_v to_o become_v his_o disciple_n yea_o and_o he_o far_o add_v that_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v forbid_v and_o then_o give_v such_o a_o reason_n for_o it_o as_o may_v put_v the_o matter_n beyond_o all_o dispute_n for_o of_o such_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n that_o be_v little_a child_n be_v not_o to_o be_v forbid_v become_v his_o disciple_n because_o of_o such_o even_o of_o such_o as_o be_v bring_v unto_o he_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n both_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n which_o be_v the_o church_n militant_a here_o on_o earth_n and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n which_o be_v the_o church_n triumphant_a in_o heaven_n and_o thus_o we_o have_v a_o plain_a scripture_n text_n wherein_o our_o bless_a lord_n have_v very_o clear_o teach_v we_o that_o little_a child_n be_v to_o be_v suffer_v and_o not_o to_o be_v forbid_v be_v admit_v into_o his_o church_n and_o this_o be_v according_a to_o that_o ancient_a prophecy_n foretell_v the_o conversion_n of_o the_o gentile_n to_o christianity_n thus_o say_v the_o lord_n god_n i_o will_v lift_v up_o my_o hand_n to_o the_o gentile_n and_o set_v up_o my_o standard_n to_o the_o people_n and_o they_o shall_v bring_v thy_o son_n in_o their_o arm_n and_o thy_o daughter_n shall_v be_v carry_v upon_o their_o shoulder_n isa_n 49.22_o and_o this_o be_v no_o more_o than_o what_o our_o lord_n himself_o do_v foretell_v when_o he_o so_o plain_o intimate_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v lamb_n in_o his_o flock_n as_o well_o as_o sheep_n john_n 21.15_o but_o sir_n if_o you_o will_v see_v more_o and_o large_a proof_n of_o this_o matter_n you_o may_v consult_v mr._n baxter_n book_n call_v plain_a scripture-proof_n of_o infant_n church-membership_n and_o baptism_n wherein_o he_o have_v prove_v that_o child_n ought_v to_o be_v admit_v into_o christ_n church_n by_o no_o few_o than_o six_o and_o twenty_o distinct_a argument_n well_o but_o then_o the_o next_o question_n be_v how_o be_v they_o to_o be_v admit_v i_o answer_v by_o baptism_n for_o ordinary_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n of_o admission_n as_o i_o shall_v prove_v by_o and_o by_o but_o here_o i_o will_v take_v notice_n of_o a_o objection_n that_o i_o find_v have_v be_v often_o start_v upon_o this_o occasion_n if_o little_a child_n be_v to_o be_v admit_v into_o christ_n church_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n of_o admit_v they_o but_o by_o baptism_n why_o then_o do_v not_o our_o lord_n baptise_v those_o child_n that_o be_v bring_v unto_o he_o i_o answer_v because_o our_o lord_n never_o baptise_a any_o with_o water_n but_o than_o it_o may_v be_v ask_v again_o why_o do_v he_o not_o command_v his_o disciple_n to_o baptise_v they_o i_o answer_v again_o because_o his_o hour_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v for_o he_o never_o that_o we_o read_v of_o command_v his_o disciple_n to_o baptise_v any_o or_o any_o to_o be_v baptise_a by_o they_o till_o after_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n but_o sir_n give_v i_o leave_v brief_o to_o remind_v you_o of_o what_o i_o have_v observe_v in_o my_o first_o letter_n concern_v the_o outward_a and_o the_o inward_a part_n of_o baptism_n for_o i_o therein_o show_v you_o that_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n do_v but_o baptise_v with_o water_n which_o be_v the_o outward_a part_n of_o that_o sacrament_n it_o be_v christ_n himself_n who_o baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o with_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v the_o inward_a part_n and_o here_o i_o will_v far_o observe_v that_o our_o lord_n have_v not_o so_o tie_v up_o himself_o to_o the_o use_n of_o outward_a mean_n but_o he_o can_v if_o he_o please_v and_o will_v for_o just_a and_o wise_a reason_n perform_v the_o inward_a part_n without_o they_o for_o thus_o shall_v a_o infidel_n or_o a_o jew_n be_v convert_v to_o christianity_n and_o earnest_o desire_v baptism_n and_o shall_v

be_v receive_v and_o therefore_o as_o their_o child_n be_v to_o receive_v it_o as_o well_o as_o themselves_o it_o follow_v that_o their_o child_n as_o well_o as_o themselves_o be_v to_o be_v baptise_a that_o they_o may_v receive_v it_o and_o so_o say_v the_o apostle_n be_v baptize_v every_o one_o of_o you_o and_o you_o shall_v receive_v etc._n etc._n but_o here_o perhaps_o you_o may_v be_v ready_a to_o ask_v whether_o baptism_n be_v necessary_a to_o our_o receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o whether_o none_o else_o do_v receive_v it_o but_o they_o who_o be_v baptise_a to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o baptism_n be_v as_o necessary_a to_o our_o receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o a_o diligent_a hand_n be_v necessary_a to_o make_v one_o rich._n the_o diligent_a hand_n make_v rich_a say_v solomon_n and_o therefore_o as_o riches_n do_v sometime_o indeed_o by_o god_n overrule_a providence_n fall_v to_o the_o share_n even_o of_o the_o lazy_a and_o the_o slothful_a so_o by_o god_n extraordinary_a mercy_n be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n sometime_o indeed_o give_v even_o to_o the_o unbaptised_a but_o what_o then_o shall_v a_o man_n hope_v to_o be_v rich_a without_o diligence_n because_o the_o lazy_a be_v sometime_o so_o in_o like_a manner_n shall_v any_o one_o hope_n for_o the_o spirit_n without_o baptism_n because_o the_o unbaptised_a do_v sometime_o receive_v it_o it_o will_v not_o be_v wise_o argue_v shall_v a_o man_n thus_o dispute_v solomon_n tell_v we_o indeed_o that_o a_o diligent_a hand_n make_v rich_a well_o and_o it_o may_v be_v so_o but_o let_v they_o be_v tie_v up_o to_o his_o rule_n that_o will_v for_o my_o part_n i_o shall_v hold_v myself_o excuse_v hope_v that_o riches_n may_v be_v have_v in_o a_o easy_a way_n even_o as_o i_o sometime_o see_v the_o slothful_a have_v they_o and_o yet_o just_a such_o be_v his_o argument_n who_o thus_o dispute_v it_o be_v the_o apostle_n rule_v indeed_o be_v baptize_v and_o you_o shall_v receive_v the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n well_o and_o it_o may_v be_v so_o but_o let_v they_o be_v tie_v up_o to_o his_o rule_n that_o will_v for_o my_o part_n i_o shall_v hold_v myself_o excuse_v hope_v for_o the_o holy_a spirit_n without_o any_o such_o condition_n even_o as_o i_o sometime_o see_v that_o the_o unbaptise_v receive_v it_o but_o still_o further_o it_o be_v object_v on_o the_o other_o hand_n that_o if_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v so_o annex_v to_o baptism_n methinks_v we_o shall_v see_v more_o and_o better_a fruit_n of_o it_o in_o those_o that_o be_v baptise_a to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o though_o it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o a_o diligent_a hand_n make_v rich_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o every_o diligent_a man_n that_o become_v rich_a for_o want_v of_o a_o good_a use_n and_o wise_a improvement_n of_o what_o his_o diligent_a hand_n acquire_v and_o give_v he_o a_o just_a title_n to_o so_o though_o baptism_n have_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n make_v to_o it_o yet_o the_o baptise_a do_v not_o all_o bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n for_o want_v of_o a_o good_a use_n of_o that_o spiritual_a grace_n and_o influence_n which_o their_o baptism_n acquire_v and_o give_v they_o a_o right_n and_o title_n to_o but_o though_o the_o diligent_a do_v not_o all_o become_v rich_a for_o the_o aforesaid_a reason_n yet_o diligence_n be_v still_o to_o be_v exhort_v to_o as_o a_o great_a and_o necessary_a mean_n of_o become_v rich_a and_o so_o though_o the_o baptise_a do_v not_o all_o bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n for_o the_o like_a reason_n aforesaid_a yet_o baptism_n be_v still_o to_o be_v exhort_v to_o as_o a_o great_a and_o necessary_a mean_n of_o receive_v the_o spirit_n be_v baptize_v say_v st._n peter_n and_o you_o shall_v receive_v the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o this_o indeed_o seem_v to_o have_v be_v the_o great_a and_o stand_a argument_n of_o this_o apostle_n it_o be_v his_o usual_a way_n to_o argue_v from_o the_o inward_a part_n of_o this_o sacrament_n to_o the_o outward_a for_o when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n fall_v upon_o cornelius_n and_o they_o that_o be_v with_o he_o can_v any_o man_n forbid_v water_n say_v our_o apostle_n that_o these_o shall_v not_o be_v baptize_v who_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o well_o as_o we_o act._n 10.47_o so_o here_o in_o this_o text_n the_o promise_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v he_o be_v to_o you_o and_o to_o your_o child_n and_o therefore_o be_v baptise_a every_o one_o of_o you_o that_o you_o may_v receive_v it_o but_o sir_n here_o be_v one_o difficulty_n more_o to_o be_v encounter_v still_o for_o here_o it_o be_v that_o our_o adversary_n have_v start_v a_o objection_n to_o which_o they_o boast_o say_v that_o we_o can_v give_v they_o no_o answer_n but_o true_o sir_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o will_v receive_v no_o answer_n and_o we_o can_v help_v that_o and_o therefore_o to_o deal_v fair_o both_o with_o you_o and_o they_o you_o shall_v first_o hear_v their_o objection_n in_o its_o full_a force_n and_o then_o our_o answer_n and_o you_o shall_v judge_n between_o we_o their_o objection_n be_v this_o that_o child_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o that_o therefore_o it_o be_v all_o folly_n to_o baptise_v they_o upon_o that_o account_n and_o far_o st._n peter_n say_v to_o that_o great_a assembly_n act._n 2.38_o be_v baptize_v every_o one_o of_o you_o and_o you_o shall_v receive_v the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n make_v it_o very_o plain_a that_o he_o exhort_v none_o to_o be_v baptise_a but_o such_o as_o be_v capable_a of_o receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o of_o this_o the_o little_a child_n be_v not_o capable_a and_o therefore_o be_v not_o to_o be_v baptise_a this_o sir_n be_v their_o mighty_a objection_n and_o i_o be_o pretty_a confident_a they_o will_v acknowledge_v that_o i_o have_v not_o mince_v the_o matter_n but_o have_v set_v it_o before_o you_o with_o all_o its_o strength_n and_o now_o then_o to_o give_v a_o satisfactory_a answer_n to_o it_o i_o shall_v make_v it_o my_o business_n to_o prove_v to_o you_o that_o even_a infant_n and_o child_n be_v capable_a of_o receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o this_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o do_v with_o all_o the_o plainness_n and_o brevity_n and_o closeness_n that_o i_o can_v and_o therefore_o first_o we_o hear_v it_o very_o often_o from_o our_o adversary_n in_o a_o challenge_v and_o triumphant_a way_n that_o if_o we_o can_v but_o show_v in_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n any_o one_o infant_n to_o have_v be_v baptise_a they_o will_v no_o long_o dispute_v that_o case_n with_o we_o but_o sir_n we_o can_v show_v they_o a_o infant_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n yea_o and_o a_o infant_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n too_o that_o receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o why_o then_o will_v they_o dispute_v this_o any_o long_o we_o know_v that_o it_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o sanctify_v we_o and_o yet_o we_o read_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n that_o the_o prophet_n jeremy_n be_v sanctify_v even_o before_o he_o come_v out_o of_o the_o womb_n jer._n 1.5_o and_o if_o we_o will_v take_v a_o angel_n word_n for_o it_o we_o be_v assure_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o john_n the_o baptist_n be_v fill_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n even_o from_o his_o mother_n womb_n luke_n 1.15_o and_o here_o i_o will_v add_v what_o i_o before_o observe_v of_o the_o little_a child_n who_o be_v bring_v unto_o christ_n and_o who_o he_o take_v up_o in_o his_o arm_n viz._n that_o he_o bless_v they_o with_o spiritual_a blessing_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o even_o these_o little_a child_n do_v then_o receive_v the_o holy_a spirit_n for_o we_o must_v mean_v nothing_o else_o by_o receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o holy_a spirit_n but_o receive_v the_o grace_n and_o blessing_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n second_o the_o holy_a job_n have_v most_o
