A80754	The covenant of God with Abraham, opened. Wherein I. The duty of infant-baptism is cleared. II. Something added concerning the Sabbath, and the nature and increase of the kingdome of Christ. Together with a short discourse concerning the manifestations of God unto his people in the last dayes. Wherein is shewed the manner of the spirits work therein to be in the use of ordinary gifts, not by extraordinary revelations. / By William Carter minister of the gospel in London.

blessing_n which_o these_o be_v not_o yea_o though_o we_o can_v with_o certainty_n affirm_v of_o this_o or_o that_o infant_n of_o a_o believer_n that_o it_o be_v inherent_o holy_a yet_o holy_a as_o thus_o separate_v and_o difference_v from_o those_o who_o be_v common_a by_o that_o word_n of_o blessing_n from_o god_n under_o which_o they_o be_v as_o we_o can_v upon_o certainty_n affirm_v of_o any_o particular_a person_n in_o the_o church_n that_o he_o be_v inherent_o holy_a because_o he_o may_v make_v a_o lie_n in_o his_o confession_n yet_o of_o every_o such_o person_n we_o can_v say_v he_o be_v in_o that_o sense_n holy_a namely_o as_o separate_v unto_o god_n in_o that_o relation_n and_o thereby_o difference_v from_o those_o who_o be_v common_a or_o unclean_a to_o this_o i_o add_v that_o as_o it_o be_v a_o necessary_a qualification_n in_o the_o confession_n of_o one_o who_o be_v receive_v into_o church_n relation_n that_o therein_o be_v hold_v forth_o in_o word_n and_o action_n that_o which_o give_v a_o positive_a ground_n of_o hope_n that_o he_o be_v inherent_o holy_a so_o in_o this_o promise_n of_o god_n to_o abraham_n concern_v his_o purpose_n of_o election_n so_o by_o family_n as_o have_v be_v show_v we_o have_v no_o less_o ground_n of_o hope_n concern_v infant_n of_o believer_n in_o the_o one_o we_o have_v a_o person_n own_o profession_n concern_v his_o spiritual_a state_n and_o interest_n in_o christ_n 14._o 1_o cor._n 7._o 14._o matth._n 10._o 14._o in_o the_o other_o we_o have_v what_o god_n himself_o profess_v how_o he_o have_v separate_v they_o unto_o himself_o and_o make_v they_o part_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o partaker_n of_o the_o blessing_n of_o his_o covenant_n and_o as_o a_o person_n of_o ripe_a year_n be_v receive_v to_o baptism_n not_o because_o he_o be_v certain_o know_v to_o be_v inherent_o holy_a but_o upon_o his_o profession_n to_o be_v such_o wherein_o both_o himself_o and_o the_o church_n may_v be_v deceive_v so_o upon_o that_o which_o god_n have_v say_v concern_v infant_n be_v they_o to_o be_v receive_v also_o nor_o let_v it_o seem_v strange_a that_o those_o who_o be_v make_v holy_a from_o a_o word_n of_o blessing_n from_o the_o lord_n be_v by_o he_o appoint_v to_o have_v the_o seal_n of_o that_o word_n and_o covenant_n by_o which_o they_o be_v so_o make_v holy_a as_o in_o the_o former_a use_n be_v prove_v that_o he_o have_v so_o command_v and_o appoint_v which_o also_o be_v another_o reason_n why_o such_o child_n be_v by_o the_o apostle_n call_v holy_a namely_o because_o they_o be_v not_o only_o within_o the_o covenant_n of_o abraham_n but_o also_o be_v appoint_v of_o god_n to_o be_v a_o subject_a recipient_a of_o the_o seal_n of_o that_o covenant_n the_o seal_n be_v holy_a and_o those_o to_o who_o it_o be_v apply_v must_v be_v so_o or_o else_o it_o be_v profane_v and_o make_v common_a as_o for_o that_o interpretation_n give_v of_o that_o place_n by_o some_o else_o be_v your_o child_n unclean_a but_o now_o be_v they_o holy_a to_o be_v mean_v that_o else_o their_o child_n be_v bastard_n but_o now_o they_o be_v legitimate_a it_o can_v be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n because_o so_o the_o apostle_n have_v answer_v nothing_o to_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o those_o who_o have_v put_v the_o question_n to_o he_o about_o put_v away_o a_o unbelieved_a wife_n for_o it_o seem_v the_o corinthian_n have_v write_v to_o he_o and_o have_v put_v certain_a question_n to_o be_v answer_v by_o he_o as_o we_o see_v vers_fw-la 1._o whereof_o that_o be_v one_o now_o for_o he_o to_o say_v that_o a_o believe_a husband_n may_v lawful_o keep_v his_o wife_n still_o though_o a_o unbeliever_n else_o be_v their_o child_n bastard_n have_v be_v to_o leave_v they_o as_o dark_a and_o unsatisfied_a as_o before_o for_o that_o have_v be_v but_o idem_fw-la per_fw-la idem_fw-la or_o bare_o to_o affirm_v the_o thing_n but_o it_o be_v evident_a the_o apostle_n bring_v that_o of_o the_o child_n being_n holy_a as_o a_o argument_n to_o prove_v their_o lawful_a continuance_n in_o that_o relation_n notwithstanding_o one_o of_o they_o be_v a_o unbeliever_n nor_o can_v we_o suppose_v the_o apostle_n will_v so_o reason_n that_o except_o one_o of_o the_o marry_a couple_n be_v a_o believer_n their_o child_n be_v bastard_n moreover_o the_o holiness_n here_o mention_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v such_o as_o the_o unbeliever_n contribute_v nothing_o to_o it_o he_o be_v sanctify_v he_o do_v not_o sanctify_v therefore_o can_v be_v mean_v of_o legitimacy_n of_o birth_n which_o must_v be_v as_o well_o from_o the_o one_o as_o from_o the_o other_o since_o marriage_n be_v a_o ordinance_n not_o peculiar_a to_o the_o church_n of_o god_n but_o common_a unto_o all_o mankind_n by_o this_o answer_n of_o he_o it_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v a_o jewish_a scruple_n that_o do_v trouble_v they_o namely_o whereas_o under_o the_o law_n it_o be_v a_o sin_n for_o one_o of_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n to_o marry_v a_o strange_a wife_n that_o be_v one_o who_o be_v not_o of_o the_o church_n and_o in_o such_o case_n they_o be_v command_v to_o put_v away_o their_o wife_n and_o to_o separate_v themselves_o from_o they_o as_o be_v pollute_v by_o they_o as_o we_o see_v in_o ezra_n 10._o 11._o &_o 9_o 12._o as_o it_o be_v also_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o old_a world_n that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o be_v they_o of_o the_o church_n do_v take_v in_o marriage_n the_o daughter_n of_o man_n that_o be_v of_o the_o posterity_n of_o cain_n such_o be_v the_o law_n of_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n also_o in_o the_o church_n even_o in_o those_o day_n therefore_o the_o corinthian_n put_v the_o question_n to_o the_o apostle_n whether_o now_o also_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n one_o of_o the_o church_n may_v continue_v in_o wedlock_n with_o one_o not_o of_o the_o church_n but_o a_o infidel_n to_o this_o the_o apostle_n answer_v that_o if_o the_o unbelieving_a wife_n be_v not_o sanctify_v in_o or_o by_o the_o believe_a husband_n that_o be_v if_o any_o church-law_n be_v thereby_o break_v so_o as_o their_o continuance_n in_o that_o relation_n be_v not_o lawful_a but_o do_v cause_n pollution_n to_o the_o believer_n that_o then_o their_o child_n must_v not_o be_v repute_v holy_a but_o unclean_a or_o common_a so_o as_o if_o they_o will_v deny_v the_o wife_n marriage_n communion_n upon_o that_o account_n they_o must_v deny_v their_o child_n all_o spiritual_a communion_n in_o the_o church_n for_o such_o be_v the_o law_n to_o the_o jew_n ezra_n 10._o 3._o they_o put_v away_o their_o wife_n and_o such_o as_o be_v bear_v of_o they_o also_o and_o that_o according_a to_o the_o command_n of_o ezra_n and_o according_a to_o the_o law_n by_o that_o which_o they_o grant_v he_o prove_v that_o which_o they_o do_v question_n obj._n if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o upon_o this_o account_n not_o only_o child_n of_o believer_n but_o also_o nation_n must_v be_v repute_v holy_a because_o the_o promise_n be_v that_o believer_n shall_v be_v blessing_n also_o unto_o nation_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v answ_n the_o case_n be_v not_o the_o same_o for_o child_n be_v immediate_o under_o this_o word_n of_o blessing_n in_o the_o family_n relation_n as_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o the_o church_n be_v immediate_o under_o that_o blessing_n which_o the_o lord_n command_v out_o of_o zion_n but_o as_o for_o nation_n they_o be_v under_o it_o in_o a_o more_o remote_a capacity_n by_o mean_n of_o what_o the_o saint_n be_v in_o their_o family_n and_o in_o the_o church_n therefore_o although_o such_o as_o be_v of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o child_n also_o of_o such_o family_n be_v holy_a yet_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o therefore_o the_o nation_n shall_v be_v holy_a to_o this_o i_o add_v that_o child_n be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o parent_n and_o at_o their_o dispose_n and_o so_o as_o when_o they_o in_o their_o sanctification_n or_o be_v make_v holy_a give_v up_o themselves_o to_o god_n by_o faith_n and_o obedience_n to_o his_o ordinance_n their_o child_n be_v therein_o virtual_o give_v up_o also_o in_o as_o much_o as_o a_o believer_n in_o some_o respect_n give_v up_o to_o god_n together_o with_o himself_o all_o in_o his_o power_n now_o this_o can_v be_v say_v of_o any_o nation_n whatsoever_o obj._n it_o will_v be_v object_v yet_o further_o that_o the_o jew_n be_v say_v to_o be_v holy_a even_o the_o whole_a people_n of_o the_o jew_n who_o now_o be_v unbeliever_n rom._n 11._o 16._o if_o the_o first_o fruit_n be_v
