A56583	The doctrine of baptism and the disinction of the covenants, or, A plain treatise wherein the four essentials of baptism .... are diligently handled as also the business of the two covenants, wherein is proved that the covenant of life is not made to the seed of believers as coming out of their loins, and therefore that the baptism of infants is drawn from thence by a false consequence / by Thomas Patient.

that_o a_o people_n shall_v walk_v together_o acceptable_o that_o have_v not_o one_o hope_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o glorious_a inheritance_n and_o that_o have_v not_o one_o and_o the_o same_o

from_o another_o and_o it_o be_v a_o essential_a difference_n inconsistent_a with_o communion_n that_o the_o member_n of_o one_o church_n shall_v own_o two_o baptism_n the_o sprinkle_n of_o infant_n and_o dip_v of_o believer_n and_o this_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n be_v one_o of_o the_o essential_o of_o a_o true_a visible_a church_n and_o last_o they_o be_v to_o own_o one_o god_n and_o father_n of_o all_o here_o you_o have_v from_o this_o text_n a_o ground_n why_o such_o as_o be_v not_o enlighten_v in_o the_o lord_n baptism_n can_v be_v admit_v into_o church-fellowship_n because_o in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o fellowship_n there_o be_v to_o be_v own_v as_o one_o hope_n one_o spirit_n one_o lord_n one_o faith_n so_o one_o and_o the_o same_o baptism_n again_o the_o main_a end_n of_o church_n fellowship_n be_v that_o they_o there_o do_v practice_n whatsoever_o christ_n have_v command_v as_o you_o have_v hear_v before_o in_o mat._n 28.20_o and_o as_o cornelius_n say_v in_o act_n 10._o we_o be_v here_o say_v he_o to_o hear_v whatsoever_o it_o command_v thou_o of_o god_n and_o say_v christ_n you_o be_v my_o friend_n if_o you_o do_v whatsoever_o i_o have_v command_v you_o and_o this_o be_v without_o doubt_n that_o the_o true_a and_o lawful_a ministry_n in_o christ_n church_n be_v to_o see_v that_o all_o the_o member_n practise_v the_o observation_n of_o whatsoever_o he_o have_v command_v and_o so_o to_o see_v all_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n put_v in_o execution_n for_o that_o cause_n have_v christ_n give_v into_o his_o church_n not_o only_o the_o key_n of_o doctrine_n but_o also_o the_o key_n of_o discipline_n that_o if_o any_o soul_n in_o a_o church_n shall_v be_v know_v witting_o or_o willing_o to_o neglect_v any_o duty_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v command_v by_o his_o holy_a word_n especial_o a_o fundamental_a ordinance_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o be_v baptism_n and_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n it_o be_v without_o all_o question_n that_o such_o a_o soul_n stand_v out_o in_o that_o disobedience_n aught_o to_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o church_n speedy_o for_o the_o same_o without_o which_o the_o church_n allow_v or_o connive_v at_o or_o tolerate_v a_o ●oul_n in_o one_o course_n of_o know_a disobedience_n do_v thereby_o make_v the_o sin_n their_o own_o the_o whole_a people_n become_v real_o guilty_a of_o his_o sin_n and_o impiety_n and_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v thus_o will_v the_o whole_a lump_n be_v leaven_v and_o that_o church_n unchurch_v among_o man_n he_o that_o conceal_v murder_n and_o be_v privy_a and_o consent_n to_o it_o and_o will_v agree_v to_o tolerate_v it_o be_v reckon_v a_o murderer_n in_o like_a manner_n in_o the_o case_n of_o theft_n now_o the_o main_a end_n of_o church_n fellowship_n and_o ministerial_a power_n be_v to_o destroy_v sin_n and_o to_o execute_v the_o power_n of_o christ_n against_o it_o and_o not_o to_o be_v fosterer_n and_o countenancer_n of_o sin_n which_o you_o be_v if_o you_o agree_v to_o admit_v any_o person_n into_o your_o fellowship_n that_o refuse_v to_o submit_v to_o baptism_n that_o plain_a solemn_a ordinance_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n let_v his_o pretence_n be_v what_o

which_o the_o apostle_n in_o thessaly_n 2._o do_v give_v rule_n to_o be_v withdraw_v from_o which_o be_v as_o the_o rest_n but_o the_o neglect_n of_o duty_n nay_o this_o practice_n lay_v a_o

be_v a_o godly_a man_n omit_v to_o be_v baptize_v or_o dip_v a_o sin_n yes_o certain_o it_o be_v for_o 1_o joh._n 3.6_o the_o apostle_n say_v sin_n be_v a_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n now_o you_o have_v hear_v several_a law_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n do_v command_v that_o such_o as_o believe_v and_o repent_v shall_v be_v baptize_v therefore_o to_o neglect_v be_v a_o transgression_n of_o those_o law_n and_o sincere_a obedience_n be_v universal_a obedience_n by_o this_o say_v david_n i_o know_v i_o shall_v not_o be_v ashamed_a when_o i_o have_v respect_n to_o all_o thy_o

submit_v to_o the_o lord_n baptism_n that_o soul_n justify_v still_o a_o corrupt_a baptism_n that_o he_o have_v in_o his_o infancy_n and_o consequent_o be_v not_o ashamed_a of_o all_o he_o have_v do_v amiss_o which_o ezekiel_n speak_v of_o but_o still_o stand_v in_o fellowship_n and_o communion_n with_o a_o church_n and_o ministry_n which_o by_o the_o bishop_n power_n dispense_v the_o same_o and_o you_o receive_v such_o a_o soul_n into_o communion_n receive_v that_o church_n and_o ministry_n from_o which_o he_o have_v his_o suppose_a baptism_n and_o must_v certain_o own_v all_o those_o church_n which_o that_o ministry_n stand_v in_o fellowship_n with_o that_o so_o baptize_v he_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o sad_a and_o serious_a matter_n who_o it_o be_v that_o be_v admit_v into_o fellowship_n in_o the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n and_o i_o will_v admonish_v soul_n to_o be_v careful_a that_o they_o do_v what_o they_o do_v in_o good_a order_n for_o god_n it_o be_v say_v make_v a_o

a_o right_a in_o all_o the_o privilege_n in_o god_n house_n answ_n it_o be_v true_a faith_n and_o repentance_n do_v entitle_v a_o soul_n but_o repentance_n according_a to_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o change_n of_o the_o heart_n &_o a_o resolution_n to_o obey_v god_n in_o all_o his_o commandment_n such_o a_o repentance_n only_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n ought_v to_o own_o in_o those_o member_n they_o receive_v and_o therefore_o though_o they_o ought_v to_o receive_v the_o weak_a in_o faith_n yet_o they_o have_v no_o rule_n to_o receive_v they_o but_o by_o faith_n and_o baptism_n so_o that_o though_o faith_n give_v a_o interest_n to_o baptism_n yet_o faith_n and_o baptism_n be_v to_o prepare_v and_o fit_v a_o soul_n for_o communion_n so_o many_o as_o glad_o receive_v the_o word_n be_v
