A31094 | And why he doth not rather in a bason of water wash their feet? |

A31094 | But what is all this to prove the baptisme of Infants which believe not, and therefore are none of Abrahams seed, who onely are to be baptised? |

A41787 | Mr. F. What Author saies so? |
A41787 | The Jaylor was baptised at midnight; and do you think he had a River in his house? |
A41787 | Then you confess it was the practice of the first christians to dip in Rivers, and I ask you whether they did this by a command or not? |
A41787 | What do you mean by the general duties of the new Testa ent? |
A41787 | Whether Infants ought to be baptised? |
A41787 | Whether your way of baptising, be the right way of baptising? |
A41787 | Why so? |

A94741 | 37. when the Eunuch had said to Philip, What letteth me to be baptized? |
A94741 | 5. what else doth it signifie, then[ is lawfully used]? |
A94741 | And the Eunuch said, See here is water, what doth hinder me to be baptized? |
A94741 | But infants may be disciples, for they may be sanctified by the Spirit? |
A94741 | Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Ghost as we? |
A94741 | For how knowest thou? |
A94741 | Or, were you baptized into the name of Paul? |
A94741 | Then you will say[ make disciples] in that place, may be so expounded, as that it may include infants? |
A94741 | Wherefore hath God made one? |
A94741 | Why doth innocent age hasten to the remission of sinnes? |
A94741 | shall it be done more warily in things secular, that to whom earthly substance is not committed, divine should? |
A94741 | shall we also baptize them? |
A62868 | & c. How shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therein? |
A62868 | And before they actually baptized them, they asked them whether they believed in God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost? |
A62868 | And he comes to the objection, How all that are baptized can be said to put on Christ, when baptism is not effectual with all? |
A62868 | And how ill do you wrong the Church of God by seeking to make men believe that these things are new and strange? |
A62868 | And it is certain that they promised for the future to live in new obedience, and thus they publickly entered the three stipulations; Credis? |
A62868 | And why call ye me Lord Lord, and do not the things which I say? |

A62868 | Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death? |
A62868 | Master Cobbet[ cited by you] might well say, that primarily the Sacrament is Gods seal; but did he say that it is onely his, and not secondarily ours? |
A62868 | Nor that which is true or rational, if they mean it absolutely as so spoken, else why should one be baptized more then another? |
A62868 | Now I would know of Master Blake whether all the children of these Parents must be baptized again or not? |
A62868 | Quare? |
A62868 | Sure if he say no, how can he allow that baptism which is without a Profession of saving faith? |
A62868 | The Galatians I find not called Saints, but to call them a Church of Christ or believers is equipollent: and what Saints were they? |
A62868 | To contemn this order( as Master Baxter doth in Infant baptism) is to contemn all rules of order: For where can we expect to find it, if not here? |
A62868 | What Divines are there that deny the Sacraments to be mutual signs, and seals signifying our part as well as Gods? |
A62868 | Wherefore? |
A62868 | [ Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having on a wedding garment? |
A62868 | abrenuncio: Spondes? |
A62868 | credo: Abrenuncias? |
A62868 | doest thou believe? |
A62868 | wilt thou be baptized? |
A41783 | Are they by this habit so much as disposed to an actual belief without a new Master? |
A41783 | But 3? |
A41783 | But if we should allow the Topick to be good, yet how will it be verified? |
A41783 | Either baptism produces spiritual effects, or it produces them not: If it produces not any, why is such contention about it? |
A41783 | Have they received of the Holy Ghost since the believed? |
A41783 | Hence observe a finall determination of the matter in question, If any ask when the gifts of prophysie, knowledge and tongues& c. Shall cease? |
A41783 | If by the external work of th ● Sacrament alone, how does this diffe ● from the opus o ● eratum of the Papist ● save that it is worse? |
A41783 | Must God be tyed, and Christian Religion transact her misteries by proportion and complyance with the Law of the Romanes? |
A41783 | Now to what purpose is all this if these gifts be ceased and that the Church may not now expect them? |
A41783 | Or who will tell us when these days expired? |
A41783 | Quid ergo fostivat innoceus alis ad remissionem p ● ccatorum? |
A41783 | What hinders any man from a quick consent at the first representation of these plain reasonings and authorityes? |
A41783 | What is the due act, or outward form to be used in this sollemn rite of holy baptism? |
A41783 | Yea but what is this to us? |
A41783 | but third where doth the Scripture make an habit ● ● Faith that which intitles any person to ba ● tism? |
A41783 | how can they prove it? |
A41783 | must the child bear the unbelief of 〈 ◊ 〉 Parents? |
A41783 | what Revela ● ion, or reason teaches such a thing? |
A62859 | 21. quaeritu ● an is possit baptizare eos quos ad Christum convert ●, cum ipse nunquam fuerit baptizatus baptismo aquae? |
A62859 | After it was questioned, whether a threefold immersion were necessary, or one would suffice? |
A62859 | Besides what is the term[ seale] there but a Metaphor? |
A62859 | But how do you prove me to be a compleat Erastian? |
A62859 | But what an illogical conceit is this? |
A62859 | But what? |
A62859 | Did not God make the chief promises of the New and Old Testament before ever any sign or seale was appointed, much more before baptisme? |
A62859 | I wrote a letter to Mr. Rutherford, to certify me what became of my writing delivered to him? |
A62859 | Is not the second sign as wel a sign and seal of them as the first? |
A62859 | Now may not the chief promises of the New Testament be conceived without the first sign and seale? |
A62859 | Now what doth Mr. Geree reply hereto? |
A62859 | What joining in Communion do you require without which you will not b ● ptize any? |
A62859 | Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do you even so to them: for this is the Law and the Prophets? |
A62859 | — What resemblance of our burial or resurrection with Christ is there in sprinkling? |
A95331 | And what hinders here? |
A95331 | But how do we enter into this? |
A95331 | For what need is there of that Baptism that can onely cleanse the flesh and the body? |
A95331 | For why may not Infants be stipulated for as well as we? |
A95331 | For, as the Eunuch said to Philip, What hinders them to be baptized? |
A95331 | If they be renewed by the Spirit, what hinders them to be baptized, who receive the holy Ghost as well as we? |
A95331 | In the mean time, to what Scriptures did they appeal? |
A95331 | It remains now, that we inquire what concerns our duty, and in what persons, or in what dispositions Baptism produces all these glorious effects? |
A95331 | Now how can they partake of Christs death, but by Baptism into his death? |
A95331 | Or can not a gift be presented to God by the hands of the owners, and the gift become holy and pleasing to God without its own consent? |
A95331 | This we are taught by S. Paul, Know ye not that so many of us as are baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death? |
A95331 | by the analogy or proportion of what writings did they end their Questions? |
A95331 | can not a creeple receive an alms at the Beautiful gate of the Temple, unless he go thither himself? |
A95331 | pro, Annon ita credimus quia omn ● g ● nus peccati cùm ad salutare lavacrum venimus aufertur? |
A95331 | what need Innocents hasten to the remission of sins? |
A95331 | whence did they prove their Articles? |
A63778 | And what hinders here? |
A63778 | Annon ita credimur quia omne genus peccati cùm ad salutare lavacrum venimus aufertur? |
A63778 | But how doe we enter into this? |
A63778 | For what need is there of that Baptism that can onely cleanse the flesh and the body? |
A63778 | For why may not Infants be stipulated for as well as we? |
A63778 | For, as the Eunuch said to Philip, What hinders them to be baptized? |
A63778 | If they be renewed by the Spirit, what hinders them to be baptized, who receive the holy Ghost as well as we? |
A63778 | In the mean time, to what Scriptures did they appeal? |
A63778 | It remains now, that we enquire what concerns our duty, and in what persons, or in what dispositions Baptism produces all these glorious effects? |
A63778 | Now how can they partake of Christs death, but by Baptism into his death? |
A63778 | Or can not a gift be presented to God by the hands of the owners, and the gift become holy and pleasing to God without its own consent? |
A63778 | This we are taught by Saul, Know ye not that so many of us as are baptized into Iesus Christ were baptized into his death? |
A63778 | by the analogy or proportion of what writings did they end their Questions? |
A63778 | can not a creeple receive an almes at the Beautiful gate of the Temple, unlesse he goe thither himself? |
A63778 | what need Innocents hasten to the remission of sins? |
A63778 | whence did they prove their Articles? |
A45397 | And again, in a farther process with those disputers, Dic mihi, obsecro te, parvulis baptizatis Christus aliquid prodest, an nil prodest? |
A45397 | And now what force against any pretension of ours is there in Mr. T. his observation that Christ and his Apostles baptized Jewes as well as Gentiles?] |
A45397 | And such he there produceth more then one, p. 34. out of Gemara 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 What did our Fathers? |
A45397 | And why doth he dislike this interpretation? |
A45397 | But I wonder what appearance of concludencie there is in that reason? |
A45397 | By asking Mr. T. whether he be ready to pay that reverence to the authority of the Fathers, as to be concluded by their affirmations? |
A45397 | Doth Christ profit infants that are baptized, or doth he not? |
A45397 | Iesus answered, Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things? |
A45397 | May not any thing be from heaven or by God''s appointment, which is derived from a Iewish custome? |
A45397 | What was done to you? |
A45397 | Whether from thence Christ derived this rite of baptizing of Christians? |
A45397 | Whether this of initiating into the Covenant by baptisme were a Jewish custome? |
A62869 | 16. what a ridiculous conceit is this? |
A62869 | 48. though they are as mean and contemptible as a little child? |
A62869 | And are not their wives, and servants, hewers of wood, and drawers of water? |
A62869 | And shall we presume to do more without any warrant of his, even to admit them into his visible Church by Baptism? |
A62869 | And yet they were in covenant in his sense before, even the whole Nation? |
A62869 | Answ: Where doth Christ ever bid us receive little children in age? |
A62869 | Are all these in covenant with God? |
A62869 | At which words it is true, I said, and that justly, O how unhappy are the People that are seduced with these Toys, Are you not ashamed? |
A62869 | But doth Mr. Cragg think we must take that for true, which Protestants and Papists do avow without any proof from Scripture? |
A62869 | But how doth it appear that{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman} signifies properly a young child? |
A62869 | Does Mr. Cragg think that the unbelieving Jews had the promise? |
A62869 | Doth Christ no more but take them up in his arms, lay his hands on them, and bless them? |
A62869 | Doth he know they were hypocrites? |
A62869 | For how were they Martyrs who testified nothing concerning Christ? |
A62869 | God thereby judged against infant- sprinkling? |
A62869 | How doth he know they were believers by outward assent and not by inward? |
A62869 | How doth he prove they were believers infants? |
A62869 | How should children be received but by providing Nurses? |
A62869 | I reply 1. if they were by disposition, how were they not by inward assent? |
A62869 | If it were, How was the Remedy as large as the Disease? |
A62869 | Is this a thing fit to entertain an infant with? |
A62869 | Jewes were baptized upon an incompleat repentance, when the text expressely saith, Then they that gladly received the word were baptized? |
A62869 | May not we this way as well decide for Antipaedobaptists as against them? |
A62869 | Now what is it to be admitted into the Covenant, but to be admitted to the promise or participation of the Covenant? |
A62869 | Or doth he think that Christs bloud was not avenged on them? |
A62869 | Or that the errour of Antiscripturians should spring from that tenet which doth so strictly insist on the Scripture? |
A62869 | Should not the multitude of words be answered? |
A62869 | Should thy lies( or devices) make men hold their peace? |
A62869 | The Text makes it to belong neither to parents nor children, but those that God cals? |
A62869 | To that of the verb of the present tense answer is before How doth Mr. Cragg prove that their children they had were young children? |
A62869 | What act did they shew which expressed outward assent to the acknowledgement of Christ as their Lord? |
A62869 | Where did he ever send them, that they might be received in his name? |
A62869 | Which it is said they had before? |
A62869 | Will any believe that from the tenet which doth so stifly maintain an Ordinance should spring the errour of being above Ordinances? |
A62869 | Would he have us receive them in his Name, and yet not receive them into his visible Church,& c? |
A62869 | Ye are circumcised with Circumcision made without hands, How is that? |
A62869 | and should a man full of talk be justified? |
A62869 | and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed? |
A62869 | and would be have all put out of his visible Church? |
A62869 | or that child is analogum to old and young? |
A62869 | or that he took that as a sufficient qualification for baptism, and yet required more as previous to it? |
A62869 | would Christ have us provide Nurses for little children? |
A31661 | 38? |
A31661 | And can not God give Infants the Seed of Faith, and purifie their Hearts by so doing? |
A31661 | And dare he to affix the Name of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, to an Untruth? |
A31661 | And what is this but Consequence? |
A31661 | And why may not a Person be Baptized with pouring Water on his Face, as well as with pouring Water on his Hands? |
A31661 | Are they capable to be Justified, Sanctified, Glorified; nay, to keep the Charge of the Sanctuary? |
A31661 | But could not Water be brought to them in the Chariot, if a little were sufficient? |
A31661 | But how can this be by the Ministery of Men? |
A31661 | But how do you know any Infants were among these? |
A31661 | But pray, Is nothing part of the Counsel of God, but what stands on Record as delivered by Paul? |
A31661 | But where''s that greater Blessing vouchsafed to Infants? |
A31661 | But why may not the Parents Baptism be imputed to Infants, as well as their Faith? |
A31661 | Did he wonder, that Christ was not plunged over Head and Ears before Dinner? |
A31661 | Did they plunge their Tables or Beds into Water? |
A31661 | Do any of these say, that to Wash, is not the New- Testament sense of the Word? |
A31661 | Do dead Men walk into the Grave, half bury themselves, and wait for the Sexton to bury their Head and Shoulders? |
A31661 | Do you think this would have been a good Plaister for their wounded Hearts? |
A31661 | Do you think, Iohn the Baptist and the Apostles, did so? |
A31661 | Have all Church- Members then a right to the Covenant of Grace? |
A31661 | If not ▪ why would you have us in this? |
A31661 | If washing the Hands or Feet be Baptism, why may not washing ▪ the Head? |
A31661 | In the Lord''s- Supper we are obliged to this Burial; Doth it therefore follow, that the Lord''s- Supper must represent a Burial? |
A31661 | Is it proper to say, I will Dip you with the Holy Ghost and with Fire? |
A31661 | Is not this Arguement as convincing as the other? |
A31661 | Is our way attended with this Inconvenience? |
A31661 | Is your way so well adapted to all these ends? |
A31661 | May he not purge out old Principles by putting in new? |
A31661 | Nor yet in Mercy to those Infants; for how could he in Mercy deprive them of so great a Blessing* except he gave them a greater in its room? |
A31661 | Nothing; and therefore not Infant- Baptism? |
A31661 | Or, Do they prove us in the Wrong? |
A31661 | Pray shew me how Beasts may; Have Beasts the Seeds of Reason? |
A31661 | Pray, how would you clear up your Right to future Happiness? |
A31661 | To Baptize those at Mature Age, who by vertue of descent from professed Christians, were Baptized with a small quantity of Water, in Infancy? |
A31661 | We ought so in Charity to judge, while they are rightful Members? |
A31661 | Were they dip''d over Head and Ears when they did Eat? |
A31661 | Were they fit to be brought to Christ for his Blessing? |
A31661 | What then? |
A31661 | When were any, who were Baptized in Infancy, Excommunicated upon their Apostacy, tho so many prove Wicked? |
A31661 | Whether, according to our Lord''s Commission, Baptism ought to be administred by Dipping, Plunging, Overwhelming only, and not otherwise? |
A31661 | Whether, according to the Commission of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Adult Believers only, are the Proper Subjects of Baptism, and not Infants? |
A31661 | Why then should Arguments for the baptism of Believers Infants be slighted, because Consequential, when they are so many, and so clear from Scripture? |
A31661 | Will you stand by the Authority of these Men in other Matters? |
A30637 | A Sign of the Covenant then, there must be in the time of the Seed; Else, how shall the Seed keep it? |
A30637 | And is this an absurdity? |
A30637 | And who shall be believed? |
A30637 | Besides, who will say the Females were Excluded the Passover? |
A30637 | But shall the Seed indeed be within the promise and blessing, and not under the Duty and Obligation? |
A30637 | But what if the Argument were New, and all as New as the Method? |
A30637 | But what if they were here? |
A30637 | For Mark it, shall the Blessing descend, and not the Proper Duty of that Blessing? |
A30637 | How else was it that his Faith was Accounted unto him for Righteousness? |
A30637 | I ask him; was not the Reward given to Abraham, for his Believing? |
A30637 | I say there, that Signing is the Proper Duty of the Covenant; what is This to That? |
A30637 | Implying, that they may have been, and are, by some, Observed, though, Happily, not by every Body: And who will say they were? |
A30637 | Is not this an honest Disputant, or rather a cunning sophister? |
A30637 | Is not to keep the Covenant, as much a Duty Bound upon the Seed, as the Promise, a Blessing made to it? |
A30637 | That Canaan was the Reward of Abraham''s Faith, who but such a Sophister, dares soberly to Deny it? |
A30637 | What in all This is to the Business in hand? |
A30637 | What then? |
A30637 | Would it to a Man of Conscience, a Seeker of Light, a Lover of Truth, go the less in Value but for That, if it is Good? |
A30637 | and that Secondarily, which is not so Primarily? |
A30637 | are not Christ and Believers considered as one Party?) |
A30637 | are they Excluded any where? |
A30637 | in that which here himself calls but a Conference; the softest word in the world? |
A30637 | or Abuse put upon him? |
A30637 | or what Application of it can be made to either Proposition? |
A30637 | the least of any Insulting over him? |
A30637 | thou Shalt keep my Covenant therefore, thou and thy Seed? |
A30637 | verse? |
A30637 | were they not of the Congregation of the Lord, and Members of the Families, or Houses, in which the Passover was Eaten, and by which? |
A30637 | why had he not Argued it out? |
A52051 | 8. no expresse law against Polygamy, no expresse command for the celebration of a weekly Sabbath; are therefore Christians free in all these cases? |
A52051 | And concerning these, there are two sorts of questions: First, Whether any Infants at all are to bee Baptized? |
A52051 | But what benefit comes to children by such kind of sealing as this is? |
A52051 | Can any man forbid water that these should not bee baptized, who have rece ● ved the Holy Ghost as well as wee? |
A52051 | Could every one of them promise to himself that Christ should be born of his flesh? |
A52051 | Doe the Gods you have chosen to serve, provide better things then these, that you renounce Christ for their sakes? |
A52051 | For as much as God gave them the like gift as hee did unto us, what was I that I could withstand God? |
A52051 | How should this ingage all Christian Parents to look to the education of their Children, to bring them up in the nurture and feare of the Lord? |

A52051 | Let me a little reason the case with you, Doe you know into what a Covenant the Lord hath taken you? |
A52051 | Now tell me what is the reason of your unanswerable conversation, is it because you renounce the Covenant, as being made when you understood it not? |

A52051 | Secondly, Supposing some have right to it, yet it''s greatly disputed, whose Infants may bee Baptized? |
A52051 | What strength of reason is in this? |
A52051 | Whether the Infants of beleeving Parents, the Infants of Saints, are to be admitted to the Holy Sacrament? |
A52051 | can any sober Christian thinke this a small fault? |
A52051 | can we think our condemnation not to be greater then theirs? |
A52051 | have not your Ministers and Parents instructed you in it? |

A52051 | that he should love you, and you hate him? |

A62870 | Now what doth Mr. T. but bring this as the same tenet with mine? |
A62870 | Or accused God as if he led his people into evil by his wonders? |
A62870 | The cup of blessing which we blesse, is it not the Communion of the blood of Christ? |
A62870 | Then he askes me, But what real Horeticks can Mr. T. name that had holy lives? |
A62870 | They that passe such a censure must trust much to informations, which whether they be partial or impartial, true or false who can tell? |
A62870 | To his question, Did no body contradict Infant- baptism for so many hundred years? |
A62870 | What saies Mr. B.? |
A62870 | When he saith, why may we not write plainly against one anothers judgement by a loving consent? |
A62870 | Whence may it seeme I would have been hardened as Pharaoh, and judged God laid his wonders as stumbling blocks? |
A62870 | Whether Hacket or any other were as wicked, who knowes but God? |
A62870 | Who would not tremble to hear the holy God to be accused by man, as if he led his people into evil by his wonders? |
A62870 | Yet if I had said so, that I would say so for the time to come who can say but God? |
A62870 | and where are the infants of believers dying unbaptized disposed, with the believers or unbelievers? |
A62870 | judge the contrary to Gods judgement? |
A62870 | or rather judge the contrary to Gods judgement? |
A62870 | or regard so carelessely Gods judgement? |
A62870 | or sacrifice freely Gods glory to my fancies? |
A62870 | own confession contradictory to the title of his book? |
A62870 | regard carelessely Gods judgement? |
A62870 | sacrifice freely Gods glory to his own fancies? |
A62870 | the bread which we break, is it not the Communion of the body of Christ? |
A62870 | weaken the testimony of God? |
A62870 | who knowes not that to infants to believe is to be baptized, not to believe is not to be baptized? |
A41781 | & c. Now whether this Discourse will not almost make a well Man sick( I mean a serious Christian troubled) to hear a wise Man talk at this rate? |
A41781 | A Woman putting a Question, how she might know whether ever she had these Qualifications? |
A41781 | And does he not also set up his Will as high as ever any did, in chusing or refusing God to be his God, his Portion by internal Covenant and Efficacy? |
A41781 | And how he can tell when these Sins against the Covenant of Grace, are purged from Infants? |
A41781 | And if God take them away before the 8th day, will God damn them because they were not Circumcised, when yet by his own Law they might not have it? |
A41781 | And is there not the same reason Adam''s Children should do the like, as being sensible of the evil Consequences thereof? |
A41781 | And shall they be under the Covenant so, as to be in a justified and saved state by it, and not have the Seal of the Covenant? |
A41781 | And then, who made you a Judg of their Hearts, Sir? |
A41781 | And whether he does not lay his Foundation upon his Qualification? |
A41781 | And why does not Charity make you think the best of Infants, seeing you ought to think no evil of the weak actions of grown Persons? |
A41781 | And yet so''t is, the seeds of those Impieties at least Mr. F. will have to be in them: And I demand of him, how he knows this? |
A41781 | Are these the comfortable Strings you give Parents to the Bow of Infants Salvation? |
A41781 | Are they all Justified and Saved? |
A41781 | But come, Mr. Firmin, will the Doctrine of a chief Man of your own please you? |
A41781 | Children being a great part of the World, shall the Spirit of God have nothing to do in their Hearts? |
A41781 | Consider them acquitted of Original Sin, by the Mercy of God in their Redeemer; Who shall lay any thing to their charge? |
A41781 | Did you never see Revenge, Wrath, Pride, Envy, Rebellion against, and Striking of Parents, acting in little Children? |
A41781 | Do not you contradict your self, Mr. Firmin, in this? |
A41781 | Do you ask what have they done? |
A41781 | Does God damn Infants for dying before they be eight days old? |
A41781 | Does the holy One make vain Covenants? |
A41781 | Grantham and his Seed? |
A41781 | Hath Man any liberty of Will, and any measure of Power thus to hate and forsake Sin? |
A41781 | How do we find that the Sin of Progenitors was wo nt to be lamented by their Off- spring among the Israelites? |
A41781 | I ask him whose Obedience then does cleanse Infants? |
A41781 | I pray( saith he) whose Opinion are you of, Huberus? |
A41781 | May not God sanctify Infants what way he pleaseth, but must be limited to your Methods? |
A41781 | Must they not all perish? |
A41781 | Now I would fain know who is active in all this, if the Party regenerate be not? |
A41781 | Now with what Conscience then can you baptize an Infant, that never to your knowledg received this Seed at all? |
A41781 | Or are you of Caelius Secundus Curio''s Opinion, That the number of the Elect and Saved is much greater than the number of the Reprobate and Damned? |
A41781 | Our Lord charges not the sin of Unbelief, till means to believe was rejected; And will he be more unkind to the Infant, than to the grown Person? |
A41781 | Our Saviour tells us, it is the Word of God, which Men hear preached unto them; Is this the Seminal Faith and Repentance which you talk on? |
A41781 | Pray, Sir, what manner of Doctrine is this? |
A41781 | Quando, Domine? |
A41781 | Reply, How did Austin know that the Child was pale with Envy? |
A41781 | Seeing he has told us they are not holy by their Birth, I would know whether they be purged before their Birth, or after? |
A41781 | That which I infer hence is, that Children are capable of the Image of God, and receiving the Seeds of all Grace it was so then, why not now? |
A41781 | To which of them did God say, I will be the God of thy Seed, and I will seal it? |
A41781 | Was it God''s Will that Adam should fall, and bring himself and his Posterity into so many Miseries? |
A41781 | Was it God''s Will, that when he brought Israel out of Egypt, that their Carcases should fall in the Wilderness? |
A41781 | Well, art awake? |
A41781 | What have they done? |
A41781 | What is now become of the Birth- priviledg so much gloried in by Mr. Baxter, and others? |
A41781 | What is this? |
A41781 | What then is the Seed here spoken of? |
A41781 | Will you chuse or refuse him? |
A41781 | Yea, I lately asked a* Doctor of the Church of England very seriously, Whether he held Infant- Baptism to be of Divine Institution? |
A41781 | You that make all Conversion miraculous, how can you tie Regeneration to Faith and Repentance, as it respects Infants? |
A41781 | and art in earnest for Christ and the saving Blessings come by him? |
A41781 | is it in the power of Infants to live till the 8th day? |
A41781 | or for not having that done to them which by God''s Law ought not to be done before the eighth day? |
A41781 | or, Whether the greatest, or any part of Dying Infants shall be damned in Hellish Torments? |
A41781 | you know your Parents were Godly — will you stand to your Father''s Covenant? |
A41781 | — What mean you by the third part of Repentance? |
A45681 | 26.17, 18. and hath the Gospel taken away the Parent''s Right in his Child? |
A45681 | And will you dare to withhold from God his own? |
A45681 | Are we to receive them in Christ''s name, and do they not belong to Christ, nor to his Church? |
A45681 | Are your Children in Covenant? |
A45681 | But an Infant was Head of the visible Church; for who will deny, but that Jesus Christ was Head of the visible Church in his infancy? |
A45681 | But did not the Apostles baptize by dipping? |
A45681 | Did Christ say all this to deceive us? |
A45681 | From the multitude of people that were baptized: We do not find John had any to help him to baptize, and is it likely he could dip such multitudes? |
A45681 | Have you done all those things that are necessary to an external visible Covenanting with Jesus Christ? |
A45681 | Have you entered your selves into this Covenant by Baptism? |
A45681 | Have you put your hand to the plow, and owned Christ in that Seal of the Covenant? |
A45681 | Have you those internal Graces, and do you perform those internal invisible Duties the Covenant requires? |
A45681 | He received the Sign of Circumcision as a Seal of the Righteousness of Faith: That is, Circumcision was 1. a Sign; of what? |
A45681 | How can Infants covenant with God, or be engaged by this Sign? |
A45681 | How doth that appear? |
A45681 | How may I know whether I am in Covenant or no? |
A45681 | How will you answer it at his Tribunal another day? |
A45681 | IF it be God''s Will Infants should be baptized, Why is there no Command for it, as there was for their Circumcision? |
A45681 | If Infants must be baptized, why may they not as well receive the Lord''s Supper? |
A45681 | If Infants ought to be baptized, why is it left so dark in the New Testament? |
A45681 | Let them shew what in Baptism tends to breed Ignorance; Is the entring a Boy''s name in the School the way to breed him in ignorance? |
A45681 | May not a man covenant for himself and Heirs to pay a yearly Rent? |
A45681 | Most we believe nothing but what we have totidem verbis, in just so many words in Scripture? |
A45681 | Or was it in some Cloaths only? |
A45681 | That a Christian may be a Magistrate? |
A45681 | That a Woman may come to the Lord''s Table? |
A45681 | The Gospel is the savour of death to many; had it been better then we had had no Gospel? |
A45681 | The Question is not by what Sign, but at what Age, persons are to be admitted into the visible Church? |
A45681 | Use of Examination, Is there a Covenant of Grace? |

A41792 | And how could it be the Yoke of Bondage, or the Obligation to it, and a Seal of the Covenant of Grace too? |
A41792 | And is it like that he would build the Gospel- Church with such Materials? |
A41792 | And is not this a sad Story? |
A41792 | And particularly if I desire him to resolve me but this one, What sort of Christians are this Catholick Church? |
A41792 | And such a Law as must be supposed according to the Similitude, to oblige our David and Solomon, even Christ himself to observe it? |
A41792 | And what Law was Abraham under, but the Law or Covenant of Circumcision? |
A41792 | And what became of all Females and Male Infants throughout the World? |
A41792 | And what then is he that should except them, as the manner of some is, and in their cruel Judgment send them by Millions to Hell Torments? |
A41792 | And where is the new Birth made the Qualification for Circumcision? |
A41792 | And who then will suffer us to say we borrow it from the Fathers, and not from him? |
A41792 | And who will say that Abraham, or the Jewish Church either, had any Commission from God to teach all Nations, circumcising them? |
A41792 | And why does Paul call it a beggarly Element? |
A41792 | And why then does he presume to speak what neither he nor any Man else can ever prove to be true? |
A41792 | And why? |
A41792 | And will it not follow from the Doctor''s Opinion, that Infants are also reprobated in their Parents? |
A41792 | Answereth the Doctor''s fifth and last Question; Whether it be lawful to Communicate with Believers, who were only baptized in their Infancy? |
A41792 | Answereth the Doctor''s fourth Question, Whether it be a Duty incumbent upon Christian Parents to bring their Children to Baptism? |
A41792 | Answereth the Doctor''s second Question; Whether Infants are excluded from Baptism? |
A41792 | Are Infants indeed such attainted Persons? |
A41792 | But how does he prove that Christian Parents are obliged to bring their Infants to Baptism? |
A41792 | But is the Doctor sure that Infants are now Children of Wrath, that is, liable to Condemnation? |
A41792 | But the Law of God and Nature has made the Man superiour in Marriage, and why are we to unman our selves to gratify a Ceremony? |
A41792 | But the Rabbins upheld Joshua''s side, and what wonder was it? |
A41792 | But what is all this to the purpose? |
A41792 | But what needs many words? |
A41792 | But why it doth not overflow all the Year long? |
A41792 | Can it enter into the Doctor''s Heart to think that all the World was now left under Condemnation without Mercy, except Abraham and his Family? |
A41792 | Did God leave them all under a Malady, without any Remedy? |
A41792 | Do not the Protestants allow of all these among the Papists, though many Ceremonies be used therein which they dissallow? |
A41792 | Do we not cry out upon the Dove, let down of old upon the baptized for a Sign of Regeneration by the Spirit? |
A41792 | Does the Doctor exclude Children from the Lord''s Table, because he does not bring them to Communion there in their Infancy? |
A41792 | Dost not thou also allow the Doctrine of Men in the case of Infant- Baptism? |
A41792 | For as a good, Author observes of the River Nile ▪ we ought not to ask the Reason why Nile overflows so many days about the Summer Solstice? |
A41792 | For can he give so much as one Instance of an Infant that received the Holy Spirit upon its being baptized? |
A41792 | For what affinity is there between Lotion and Immersion? |
A41792 | For what then took Original Sin from all Males that died before the eighth Day? |
A41792 | For whence was this Talmud sent to us, — that we should give so much credit thereto —? |
A41792 | How much innocent Blood has been shed about this sign of the Cross, is not easily to be estimated? |
A41792 | How ought this to put an awe upon all that speak in the Name of the Lord about Religion? |
A41792 | How should he despise the helpless Infant? |
A41792 | How then can it enter into any Christian to think that God should have no pity for innocent Babes who never offended him? |
A41792 | How was it then reckoned? |
A41792 | I desire it may be considered, whether these unbapcized Infants whom Christ blessed, were of his mystical Body? |
A41792 | I say again, Does not the Church of England hold the Ordination received in the Papacy to be valid? |
A41792 | If our Opposites have found out since the Sign of the outward Cross in this pla ● e, I would they would tell us which way they came by it? |
A41792 | Is he thus compassionate towards great Sinners, and is there no Help in him for poor Infants? |
A41792 | Is not this the plain Consequence of this Opinion, that all Infants unbaptized, being not of Christ''s mystical Body, must perish? |
A41792 | Is the Holy Scripture less able to make us wise to Salvation than the Talmud? |
A41792 | Is this fair for the Doctor to pervert the Words of the Text? |
A41792 | Neither Precept nor Practice in Scripture for Infant- Baptism? |
A41792 | Not in the Word of God, the Doctor confesses that: Where then? |
A41792 | Now I demand of any Man, whether the whole Number of the Saved ones be not all of Christs mystical Body? |
A41792 | Now to whom shall I give credit? |
A41792 | Shall these Objects of Pitty perish eternally too without Remedy? |
A41792 | Teachest thou another, and teachest not thy self? |
A41792 | That it is only a Church Rite, and not of Divine Institution? |
A41792 | That it was brought in without the Commandment of Christ? |
A41792 | The Fathers can be no Vizard for a Ceremony which has been abused since, or what though from the Fathers we take this sign? |
A41792 | V. Answereth the Doctor''s third, Question, Whether it be lawful to separate from a Church which appointeth Infants to be baptized? |
A41792 | What the Doctor means to compare Constantine with Moses, is very doubtful: Is it to make Christian Magistrates Legislators to the Church of Christ? |
A41792 | What then can we suppose to be plain? |
A41792 | When Christ puts the Question, How can ye escape the Damnation of Hell? |
A41792 | Whence comest thou? |
A41792 | Where is the previous Law that commanded Infants to be baptized? |
A41792 | Where( I say) is this Law to be found? |
A41792 | Whether Infants are capable of Baptism? |
A41792 | Whether it be necessary that Marriages should be celebrated by a Minister? |
A41792 | Who can brook the Efficacy which Tertullian gave it? |
A41792 | Why do we seek to burthen our selves or others, in matters of Religion, with the Commandments and Doctrines of Men? |
A41792 | and can any new print be added to the Seal of a King without Treason? |
A41792 | and whether God was not as good to an Infant in Israel of 7 days old, as to an Infant of 8 days old? |
A41792 | and whether they may be valid and lawful without them? |
A41792 | or say, that the Child was not capable of the Sign, when he was capable of the chief thing signified thereby? |
A41792 | or that it must needs wait on him when he sprinkles an Infant? |
A41792 | or why should the Doctor think we ought to joyn Communion with his Party, more than others, unless they could not err as well as the rest? |
A41792 | when he was in Circumcision or in Vncircumcision? |
A41792 | — Is not Baptism the Seal of the Heavenly King? |
A46634 | And do they think to bring me forth and expose me thus to make them Sport? |
A46634 | And will he be a Champion for his Friends, right or wrong, though perchance he fight against the Truth? |
A46634 | Are these the Bonds and Fetters Mr. Wells and his Friends have put upon me? |
A46634 | But I would fain know, who of all Ashford Town can say, that ever R. M. was here at Board, during his Melancholy? |
A46634 | But is not this a fine begging of the Question? |
A46634 | But let them take heed; for how, as I said, can they prove our Lord himself was so Dipped? |
A46634 | But now, what if the Case do not require all this? |
A46634 | But shall we call in question at this day the Baptism of all those in former Ages who were not Dipp''d? |
A46634 | But was it a total immersion, a Dipping the whole Person, certainly, infallibly, without Guesses, Conjectures, and Probabilities? |
A46634 | But what did I persuade him him to? |
A46634 | But what satisfaction shall I now have? |
A46634 | But what, I pray, would this come to? |
A46634 | But where is the Repeal of that Priviledge? |
A46634 | But why doth Mr. Wells tell us of Genesis, and the Old Testament? |
A46634 | But why falsely put upon you? |
A46634 | But why that Parenthesis( if any fuch be?) |
A46634 | But, Mr. Wells, did you observe this at London by your selfe, or did your Ashford Friends give you these Instructions? |
A46634 | But, again, I pray, Mr. Wells, how was I conversant with him, as you write, p. 14. when I never spake to him but that one time in my life? |
A46634 | Can it be thought when his Sister who kept his House was one of them, that in all his Trouble none came near him? |
A46634 | Children of all Ages undoubtedly? |
A46634 | Could they not possibly misinform him? |
A46634 | Dipping a total immersion? |
A46634 | Good Mr. Wells, how did you read this? |
A46634 | How is it otherwise than so, seeing he knew not the contrary, never hearing but one side? |
A46634 | How just like the Proceedings of the Spanish Inquisition? |
A46634 | How vainly and wickedly then doth Mr. Wells suggest such Slanders? |
A46634 | I pray how doth Mr. Wells know that I did thus? |
A46634 | I pray in what Page or Line is this Appearance found? |
A46634 | I pray what was there that I should seek occasion to clear my self, or find out some to take off any reproach might fall upon me? |
A46634 | In what Volume do we read it? |
A46634 | In whose House did he board or lodge? |
A46634 | Is he not the God of the Christians also? |
A46634 | Is his Mercy clean gone from our ● hildren? |
A46634 | Is there any thing shewed, but only confidently said, and a gainsaying of what I had written? |
A46634 | Is this a Reply? |
A46634 | It must be concluded, you can not? |
A46634 | May not a Minister spare Names in such a Case, but he must be cryed down for one that spreads Slanders? |
A46634 | Methinks you read as badly as you writ: How could you say I repeated the Name Anabaptists? |
A46634 | Must he publish the Names of every one concerned? |
A46634 | Never but once in his Company, so as to be able to discourse with him? |
A46634 | Now, as to my assigning the Criminals, I have already said a little in answer thereto; it is not always fit and meet, nor is it material: Cui bono? |
A46634 | Now, what if I could not find out one Baptist had been with him? |
A46634 | Of very late Years? |
A46634 | Only the third Question is of any Moment, Thirdly, Whether the Sprinkling of Infants be the Baptism of Christ? |
A46634 | Or what need I to fear any shame if he did not hearken to my Advice and comply therewith( Yea, how knows Mr. Wells but he did?) |
A46634 | That he hath traduced me in a very shameful manner? |
A46634 | To lay a malicious design to abuse a Party? |
A46634 | To what good would it be? |
A46634 | To whom, or to what? |
A46634 | Was ever any matter turned so fouly against another? |
A46634 | Were his Friends therefore Infallible? |
A46634 | Were there not many Children, thousands of them, when the Men alone were above six hundred thousand? |
A46634 | Wh ● ever denied Dipping to be Baptizing? |
A46634 | What Anabaptist can stand forth, and help Mr. Wells, or his Friends, out of this Mire? |
A46634 | What Holiness and Exemplariness in the ● ● Lives more than others, to convince you that they are the Peop ● ● of God above others? |
A46634 | What Power and Demonstration of the Spirit is ther ● in their Preaching? |
A46634 | What an implicite Faith was this? |
A46634 | What can they? |
A46634 | What if it were not applied? |
A46634 | What need you say, Whatever they were, when I declared they were such as these? |
A46634 | What trifling is it to Write and Print at this rate? |
A46634 | What will become of Christians at this rate? |
A46634 | What, can a Mode destroy the Essence of the Ordinance? |
A46634 | What, did you mistake Atheists in the Lines before for Anabaptists? |
A46634 | What, every Man, Woman and Child in Crete Lyars, beastly, and slothful, Pagans and Christians too? |
A46634 | What, hath God less love for your Children than for those of his old People the Jews? |
A46634 | What, must a Minister tell the Anabaptists, and all the World, what every one in trouble discover''d to him? |
A46634 | What, to forge such matters as these? |
A46634 | Where are the Proofs? |
A46634 | Where is it said, I did indeed receive their Children, but as for yours I will not be so gracious to them? |
A46634 | Where was this practiced in Primitive times? |
A46634 | Which of the Ancients did ever do this? |
A46634 | Who ever pleaded for it till of yesterday? |
A46634 | Who speaks against the Antiquity of Dipping? |
A46634 | Who thinks Baptism was the Sacrament then in use? |
A46634 | Who will think, or suspect I wrote that Piece to reproach the Anabaptists? |
A46634 | Will Mr. Wells confess his Fault as publickly, and declare himself in an Errour? |
A46634 | Would he condemn them all for Judas, of whom it is written? |
A46634 | Yea, but what if so? |
A46634 | and a wonderful Care not to grieve me with what was Printed: But wherein doth it appear? |
A46634 | and shall the Application of Water in a less quantity render it altogether ineffectual, and destroy its end and efficacy? |
A46634 | and strike so many Saints and Martyrs out of the Roll of the Baptized, who are now in Heaven? |
A46634 | and then in what a shameful Case will you appear? |
A46634 | and what hope can Millions have, to whom it hath been applied in any other way than that of the Baptists? |
A46634 | even such as one would not suspect of any who are not very obnoxious upon some evil account or other? |
A46634 | proved his Party innocent; convincing me of Falshood in all I have written; making me a Slanderer, a Lyar, and what not? |
A46634 | unchristian in Mr. Wells to surmize thus, and suggest such foul things as these ever and anon? |
A46634 | what if it be not necessary or convenient? |
A46634 | yea, that he hath wronged an innocent Person, and a Stranger? |
A62867 | 21. seems to triumph in this Argument, when he saith: Who then is not afraid to refuse them, who will receive Christ? |
A62867 | 37. where when the Eunuch asked Philip, What letteth me to be baptized? |
A62867 | A barrell began to be made, why the wheel running doth a pitcher come forth? |
A62867 | And againe, for as much as God gave them the like gift, as he did unto us, what was I that I could withstand God? |
A62867 | And doth not 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 comprehend both Sexes? |
A62867 | And if so, here is an expresse example in formall terms for womens receiving the Lords Supper? |
A62867 | And why may not b ● a like allusion, uncleane be put for bastards, and holy for legitimate? |
A62867 | Are all borne of those parents whereof one is not sanctified in the other begotten in the monethly courses? |
A62867 | Are all borne of those parents whereof one is not sanctified in the other, without the Covenant of grace? |
A62867 | B ● sides, are not sanctification, and cleannesse, and honour, all one in these passages? |
A62867 | BVt what benefit comes to children by such kinde of sealing as this is? |
A62867 | Besides, must children be baptized, because they are capable of Grace? |
A62867 | But I pray you, whose Glosse was this? |
A62867 | But are any other among men covenanters, but the elect who are purchased by the blood of the everlasting covenant? |
A62867 | But are we not borne againe by the Word, and must that be but once preached? |
A62867 | But doth he seeme onely to restraine it to the case of necessity? |
A62867 | But have not the like, if not the same things happened in other matters? |
A62867 | But how knowes Mr. Vines this? |
A62867 | But this is bu ● a shift; for why may not an unbeliever he said, as w ● ll to possesse his vess ● ll in holines, is to be sanctified? |
A62867 | But what is all this to prove your Minor, which is not of potentiall having inward grace, which is not denied, but of actuall having? |
A62867 | But what is this instance to your purpose? |
A62867 | But what saith the supposed Origen? |
A62867 | But what then? |
A62867 | But where is the command that he must be baptized first? |
A62867 | But you say, it binds us virtually only to seale ours with the signe of Baptisme; I pray you then what meane you by this virtuall binding? |
A62867 | Can any forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the holy Ghost as well as wee? |
A62867 | Cernimus, an qui amant ipsi sibi somnia fingunt? |
A62867 | Could every one of them promise that Christ should be borne of his flesh? |
A62867 | De ceremoniali illa sanctitate quid dicam? |
A62867 | De faederali illa sanctitate quid dicam? |
A62867 | Did not divisions and other miscarriages and persecutions, bring the Non- conformists of England as low as the Anabaptists? |
A62867 | Did not some of them grow a dangerous and turbul ● nt Sect? |
A62867 | Did not the like troubles happen in Q. Elizabeths dayes in seeking to remove Episcopacy& Ceremonies? |
A62867 | Doe fornicating or unbelieving parents never beget children that shall be within the Cov ● nant of grace, or federally holy? |
A62867 | Doe unbelieving husbands never use their wives but in their monethly courses? |
A62867 | Doe we see? |
A62867 | Doth it follow, that every one that was circumcised, was in the Covenant of Grace? |
A62867 | For could every man in Covenant challenge these things at Gods hand, and that by vertue of the Covenant? |
A62867 | For if we may doe it in one thing, why not in a nother? |
A62867 | For to what end serves this your Narration of your adversaries, but to beget an Odium, hatred or prejudice at least in your Auditors? |
A62867 | For what if that never be? |
A62867 | For what? |
A62867 | Hast thou kept the Lords day? |
A62867 | Hath God cast away his people? |
A62867 | Having sayd what heresie ever came abroade, without Verbum Domini in the mouth of it? |
A62867 | How shall a minister do when he can not come to the knowledge of it? |
A62867 | I delivered unto you that which I received from the Lord, was not that a command, and that to the whole Church, women as well as men? |
A62867 | I do believe: Dost thou renounce? |
A62867 | I may apply to you the words of Horace, Amphora coepit institui, currente rota cur ● ● recus exit? |
A62867 | I pray you then tell me, wherein you make their condition different? |
A62867 | I reply, Have none of the adversaries of the Anabaptists undermined Magistracy? |
A62867 | If it be said, it is a believing nation, when the greatest part are Believers, how shall that be known? |
A62867 | Imò ve ● ò nisi priùs docuisset in quem finem baptizaret, quis tandem ad ejus baptismum accessisset? |
A62867 | Infants are not to be baptized, because that which is not in so many words commanded in the new Testament, ought not to be done? |
A62867 | Is it a religious end and use, to refresh them who are the temples of the Holy Ghost? |
A62867 | Is not sinne mortified, the Church sanctified by baptisme, and are not these often? |
A62867 | Is there a command or institution of God, binding the Jews to call Circumcision so? |
A62867 | Is there any argument or proofe in this? |
A62867 | Is this then your meaning, that it doth not binde expresly and in terminis, but virtually, that is, implicitely, and by Interpretation? |
A62867 | Know you not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death? |
A62867 | No expresse Law against polygamie; no expresse command for the celebration of a weekely Sabbath; are therefore Christians free in all these c ● ses? |
A62867 | Now then who are they on whom God should bestow faith and regeneration, but Gods Elect? |
A62867 | Now what kinde of quiet would this have given them, to tell them that their children were not bastards? |
A62867 | Nunquamne Infideles utuntur uxoribus nisi menstruatis? |
A62867 | Of that Covenant- holinesse what shall I say? |
A62867 | Of that ceremoniall holinesse what shall I say? |
A62867 | Omnesne nati ex ijs parentibus quorum alter non santificatur in altero geniti sunt in menstruis? |
A62867 | Omnesno nati ex ijs parentibus quorū alter non sanctificatur in altero sunt extra foedus gratiae? |
A62867 | Or, what discomfort in truth, do they give them, which you do not? |
A62867 | Quid enim? |
A62867 | Quid ergo? |
A62867 | The believing wife may with a good conscience keep company with the unbelieving husband( for why should anothers conscience defile her?) |
A62867 | True, but whose consequence is this? |
A62867 | We being many, are one bread, and one body; for we are all partakers of that one bread, and are not women as well of the body as men? |
A62867 | What comfort then doe you give them indeed which the Antipaedobap ● ists doe not give as well as you? |
A62867 | What doth the most grown man in any of these, more then an Infant may do? |
A62867 | What say you to these things? |
A62867 | What strength of reason is in this? |
A62867 | What then? |
A62867 | What then? |
A62867 | When John did say, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand, did he not teach those whom he was about to baptize? |
A62867 | Who will not baptize them, that is willing to baptize disciples in the name of Christ? |
A62867 | Why did not the Apostles so, nor any other Ministers to this day? |
A62867 | Why tempt ye God to put a yoak upon the necks of the Disciples? |
A62867 | children, or Samuels stood before God in Mr. Cottons sense? |
A62867 | cum diceret Joannes, Poenitentiam agite, appropinquat enim regnum coelorum, non docebat quos erat baptizaturus? |
A62867 | how strange? |
A62867 | how strange? |
A62867 | or a command or institution for us by vertue of the command to the Jews to call it so? |
A62867 | or doe they that love, faine dreames to themselves? |
A62867 | or every one of their women that shee should be the mother of Christ? |
A62867 | quam aliena? |
A62867 | quam aliena? |
A62867 | that Marriage is honourable among all,( even Infidels) and the bed und ● filed? |
A62867 | that she may be holy in body, is it not meant, that she may be chaste? |
A62867 | was not the practise of Hacket and his companions like that of Iohn a Leyden at Munster? |
A62867 | where shall we stay? |
A62867 | which is, saith he, every way parallel, and answers in either of the branches? |
A62867 | yea verily, unlesse he had first taught to what end he did baptize, who at last would hav ● come to his baptisme? |
A63577 | And I offer it to the Consideration of the Learned, whether the prime Signification of the Word be a sufficient Argument in this case? |
A63577 | And if Philip had not been to put the Eunuch into the Water, and cover him with it, why should they go down both into the Water? |
A63577 | And then he bawls very loud, saying, Mr. Williams, will you suffer him to Preach? |
A63577 | And when Silence was obtained, he addressed himself to the Ministers after this manner: Sirs, What is the matter with you? |
A63577 | Are ye afraid of the Commission? |
A63577 | Are you of Mr. Chandler''s Opinion? |
A63577 | Are you of Mr. Chandler''s mind in this Matter? |
A63577 | But do you believe it? |
A63577 | But how do you know that the Word was so Rendred by the Septuagint? |
A63577 | But what do you bring this for now? |
A63577 | But what doth all this signify? |
A63577 | But what then doth he mean by denying my Major? |
A63577 | But why must you prevent Mr. Chandler? |
A63577 | But why should Mr. Robinson think it strange that any body should have such a Conceit in their Minds? |
A63577 | But would not the People conclude that Infants were intended, if I tell them it must be done after the manner of Moses? |
A63577 | Did we say Incompleat Disciples are not in the Commission? |
A63577 | Do you bring this to prove that these Children were Baptized? |
A63577 | Do you not know your own Argument? |
A63577 | Doth he not know that the Church of Rome baptize things of an inferiour Nature? |
A63577 | Dr. Russel Answers, Have I not put it into an Argument, and you will not suffer him to answer it? |
A63577 | Gentlemen, are you not asham''d? |
A63577 | Hath Christ two sorts of Subjects that he commands to be Baptized in that Commission? |
A63577 | Here are divers Men of Parts and Learning among you, can none of you produce so much as one Instance to prove it? |
A63577 | Here the Doctor was interrupted again, and they cried out, What do you tell us of Dr. Hammond? |
A63577 | Here( saith he) a Question may be made, whether washing the Body in Baptism, must be by Dipping or Sprinkling? |
A63577 | How can this possibly be true? |
A63577 | How doth that appear? |
A63577 | How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? |
A63577 | I speak of Actual Disciples, made so by Teaching; are these such, who( by your own Confession) know not one Letter of the Book? |
A63577 | I would know whether Infants are not as capable of Believing in Christ, as of coming to Christ? |
A63577 | If Mr. Chandler can give no Instance, here are divers other Ministers, Gentlemen of Parts and Learning: Have none of them an Instance to produce? |
A63577 | Is it Nonsense then to say, that any Infants belong to the Kingdom of Glory? |
A63577 | Is it not the Subject contained in the Question; And will you( or dare you) deny that what I have said is in the Commission? |
A63577 | Is not our Lord''s Commission of as good Authority as my Argument? |
A63577 | Is not that the same which I say you said? |
A63577 | Is this civil Treatment to a Stranger that comes so many Miles to meet you? |
A63577 | Is this your Argument? |
A63577 | Know ye not that so many of us as were dipt into Christ Jesus, we were dipt into his Death? |
A63577 | May I not have leave to draw my Inference from the Text? |
A63577 | Mr. Leigh said, How much Credit did we infer was granted by them to our Cause? |
A63577 | Mr. Leigh was angry hereupon, saying, What do you talk of our being the keepers of them? |
A63577 | Mr. Robinson, their Moderator, saith, Will you allow this of Consequence, or not? |
A63577 | Mr. Williams ask''d him how many there was in the Covey? |
A63577 | Must I be thus misrepresented to the People, because I say( that which you all know to be true) that Infants want the Use of Reason? |
A63577 | Must I n ● ● be permitted to recite your own Authors, and some of the gre ● test Men that have written since the Reformation? |
A63577 | Now was this before the Commission, or after it? |
A63577 | Ofte en wetet ghy niet dat soo vele al''s wy in Christum Jesum dedoopt zyn, wy in Synen doodt gedoopt zyn? |
A63577 | Or, rather, are some commanded, and others not commanded, and yet both to be Baptized; the one by a Command, and the other without? |
A63577 | Sir, why do you hinder Mr. Chandler from speaking? |
A63577 | Sir, you must bring in that Dipping is absolutely necessary( as in the Question) what do you talk of Sprinkling for? |
A63577 | That the Ministers had granted out of their own mouths that we had gained the Cause? |
A63577 | Then he puts this Question, Whether it ought to be performed by an Immersion, or an Aspersion,& c? |
A63577 | This is not to the purpose, what have we to do with what Mr. Calvin says? |
A63577 | Upon this Dr. Russel asked Mr. Leigh, what Relation this Argument of his had to the Commission? |
A63577 | Was not the Mother of our Lord a Believer, when Christ was born? |
A63577 | Wat verhindert my gedoopt te worden? |
A63577 | What again Mr. Robinson? |
A63577 | What do you mean by being recorded? |
A63577 | What do you put that upon us for? |
A63577 | What do you talk of Preaching? |
A63577 | What do you talk of a Trick? |
A63577 | What do you tell us of the Fathers? |
A63577 | What have we to do with Dr. Hammond? |
A63577 | What hinders me to be dipt? |
A63577 | What is the Reason of all this? |
A63577 | What is the Reason of this? |
A63577 | What is this to my Argument? |
A63577 | What need is there of so many Words about this? |
A63577 | What then do you bring it for? |
A63577 | What will all this People say, when they are gone? |
A63577 | What, doth Colonel Self ride Lord General in the Town of Portsmouth to day? |
A63577 | What, doth not Mr. Chandler know the difference between the Major and Minor? |
A63577 | What, from the Commission? |
A63577 | When you see you are like to be pinched upon an Argument, then you make it your business to hinder me from speaking: Doth this become a Moderator? |
A63577 | Whereupon Mr. Sharp, the Moderator, call''d out aloud to still this great Noise, and spoke to this effect: What is the reason of this Hissing? |
A63577 | Whereupon Mr. Williams askt him if he would do it to answer a Scrupulous Conscience without God''s Word? |
A63577 | Whether according to the Commission of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Adult Believers are only the proper Subjects of Baptism: and not Infants? |
A63577 | Whether the Ordinance of Baptism as appointed by Christ, is to be Administred by Dipping, Plunging( or) Overwhelming only, and not otherways? |
A63577 | Who ever did so? |
A63577 | Why may they not be said to Believe, when they do not actually Believe; if imputatively they are said to come when their Parrents brought them? |
A63577 | Why must Erasmus be thus slighted? |
A63577 | Will you allow genuine Consequences drawn from Scripture? |
A63577 | Will you allow good Scripture Consequences in this Case, or do you expect plain Scripture Words? |
A63577 | Will you assert that? |
A63577 | Will you fly from the Light of the Commission of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ? |
A63577 | Will you grant that it is not Recorded in the New Testament? |
A63577 | Yes, I do believe it: What then? |
A63577 | You say no Person can give an Instance in Scripture whereby we baptize Infants: How do you prove this? |
A63577 | and how shall they hear without a Preacher? |
A63577 | and what do you talk of all the New Testament? |
A63577 | do you understand Dutch? |
A63577 | is all the New Testament the Apostle Paul''s writings? |
A63577 | must I always be thus broke in upon by you; What is the meaning of it? |
A63577 | not the Assembly of Divines? |
A63577 | what is to do now? |
A85020 | 11, 12. attest the same? |
A85020 | 13. Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being his counseller, hath taught him? |
A85020 | 2. Who did sin, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? |
A85020 | 47. Who knoweth what may come to pass? |
A85020 | 7 to be connived at, God not only not punishing, but,( for ought appears in Scripture) not so much as reproving the same? |
A85020 | 8. give an uncertain sound, who shall be prepared for the battel? |
A85020 | Alas, how sad is my estate? |
A85020 | And shall my unworthy pamphlet presume to follow such able works from the same place? |
A85020 | But O how glorious in Heaven will S. Peter appear? |
A85020 | But here the question will be, who shall be punished, this child or his parents? |
A85020 | But quando, when, and quousque ▪ how long Lord holy and true, how long shall thy servants go on in their errours and ignorance? |
A85020 | But these little Lambs wherein have they offended? |
A85020 | But what shall he do that cometh after the King of Heaven? |
A85020 | But where hath it the promise of this life? |
A85020 | Can any man forbid water that these should not be Baptized, which have received the holy Ghost as wel as we? |
A85020 | Can any man? |
A85020 | Can any man? |
A85020 | Can he? |
A85020 | Could lesse be said then this, so short the words? |
A85020 | Dina marks, but what? |
A85020 | End? |
A85020 | For Christ sent me not to Baptize, but to preach the Gospel: How much was the ministration thereof too mean for our Saviour? |
A85020 | For that spiritual Artillery S. Paul ever carried about him: why then should he wish what he could work? |
A85020 | Had ever any a Tooth drawn, and was insensible thereof? |
A85020 | Here is a heavy punishment indeed; But who is the person, on whom it is to be inflicted? |
A85020 | His pathetical expostulation, Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead? |
A85020 | How unfit had it been for our Saviour thus to Baptize those Infants, I Jesus Baptize this Infant into the Name of Jesus? |
A85020 | I had thought now my Father is turned Christian, that the Child should not be impaired because his father is improved? |
A85020 | I thought the alteration of our condition by Christs coming was to perfect not diminish what we had before? |
A85020 | IF any then ask, what advantage then hath a Christian, and what profit is there of pious parentage? |
A85020 | If this child in his infancy may not be admitted to Baptism, what cause had it no lesse justly then Grievously to complain? |
A85020 | Indeed I would have all of his opinion burnt; but how? |
A85020 | Is a Christians son found in a worse case then a Jews son was left? |
A85020 | Is it not enough that I be passive, and patiently carry it when it is laid upon me? |
A85020 | Is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing? |
A85020 | Is original sin too little to condemn a child, but that parents must double- hatch their children with guilt of their adulterous nativity? |
A85020 | Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day? |
A85020 | Let them not sorrow that they are sold, but rejoyce that Abraham hath bought them; How had they been undone, if they had not been undone? |
A85020 | Might it but borrow a tongue from the standers by, how pathetically would it expostulate his condition? |
A85020 | Now if Christian children by the half- bloud be holy ▪ how clear is those Infants title Religiously descended on both sides? |
A85020 | On what day did God reveal the Revelation to S. John? |
A85020 | Otherwise, how cometh he, who upon the breach of the covenant of works, was left our enemy, our inraged judge, to be a God unto us? |
A85020 | Peace? |
A85020 | Quid teneri infantes in te committere tantum? |
A85020 | Say not if so smal then, were they insensible of any benefit by the blessing? |
A85020 | See here is water, what doth hinder me to be baptized? |
A85020 | Some of them whilest they lie in the Cradle, how lie they on the rack? |
A85020 | Soul, and bodie of Infants, thus being severally sinlesse, who can conceive that the union of two clean things, can produce one unclean? |
A85020 | The Covetous man marks, but whom? |
A85020 | The ambitious man, but whom? |
A85020 | The lascivious man marks, but whom? |
A85020 | This one fellow came in to sojourn and will he needs be a judg? |
A85020 | Though they esteem us Bastards, we will esteem them children, but what children? |
A85020 | Though they should account us Dogs, let us account them Sheep, but what Sheep? |
A85020 | To prevent all miscarriages, and to intail the same on Abrahams posterity, how often doth he insert, and repeat him and his seed, Gen. 17? |
A85020 | What a Constellation, what a Firmament of stars will he alone be? |
A85020 | What a Tyranny is this for me to cross my self by taking up my own cross? |
A85020 | What amounts from the mixture of light and darkness but twy- light? |
A85020 | What became of the souls of such infants, who died before the eighth day, and so wanted Circumcision? |
A85020 | What fitter matter to begin the new, then to treat of the direction to the living? |
A85020 | What matters it then, though Children can not discover, and though men can not perceive their belief? |
A85020 | What product from the blending of white and black but a motley? |
A85020 | What result could be expected from the joyning of hot and cold but lukewarm? |
A85020 | What said the rest of the Israelites, to the Reubenites? |
A85020 | What sighing, what sobbing, what grieving, what groaning for their forlorn condition? |
A85020 | What then when the beholder is all fire, I mean all passion and choller, is it probable that during this temper, the spirit will descend upon him? |
A85020 | What, more Revelation still? |
A85020 | When shall Christians come to an end? |
A85020 | When shall they certainly know the full measure of all which they are to believe and practice as necessary to salvation? |
A85020 | When shall we say, It is finished? |
A85020 | Where hath it the promise of the life to come? |
A85020 | Why dost thou such things? |
A85020 | Yea, shall man be carelesse and cruel, where God hath been so kind and careful in his instituting of Baptism? |
A85020 | can Subjects hope that their discoveries will be clearer then their Soveraigns? |
A85020 | can he lawfully? |
A85020 | can he so do it, as to avouch it to God and man, when he hath done it? |
A85020 | desire what he could do? |
A85020 | he could not meet with one good, where then shall we mark a perfect man? |
A85020 | seeing betwixt both Circumcision is neglected? |
A85020 | shall man living on earth see more then God looking from heaven? |
A85020 | that is, can he justly? |
A85020 | what can be finer ware? |
A85020 | what can be larger measure? |
A85020 | yet could more be said then this, so large the matter? |
A47399 | ( 3 dly,) If not, what kind of polluted Churches must thir''s be, who have not purged out such corrupt Members? |
A47399 | ( if he had any) do People carry their Infants to hear God''s Word? |
A47399 | 16. and to all that were in his house; can any suppose that he preached Christ to his In ● ants? |
A47399 | And did not Philip require it of the Eunuch? |
A47399 | And doth not the Apostle assert the same Thing? |
A47399 | And especially when the Children''s Names were as expresly in John''s Commession as the Parents? |
A47399 | And if the Sinai Covenant was not a Covenant of Works, Why do all our Brethren say, as it was a Covenant of Works,''t is done away? |
A47399 | And if they did not take Care about them, was it not their Sin? |
A47399 | Are not my Sons and Daughters my Children, when they are 20, 30, or 40, Years Old, as well as they were my Children when but Two days Old? |
A47399 | But did not the Fathers then, by being Circumcised, acknowledge themselves Debtors to the Law? |
A47399 | But now, because there were so many Additions, or Ministrations of the Gospel, or New Covenant, Doth it follow, there are so many New Covenants? |
A47399 | Ca n''t you see from hence who are the Seed of the Promise? |
A47399 | Can one thing come in the room, or place of another, till the other is actually, and legally removed, and took away? |
A47399 | Can the weakness of Nature hinder the Operations of the Holy Ghost, in Infants, when the Power of the Devil ca n''t, in the Adult? |
A47399 | Can there be fire, and no heat? |
A47399 | Did Iohn turn any Children in their Infancy to the Lord? |
A47399 | Did not Iohn require it when he said, bring forth Fruits meet for R ● pentance,& c ▪ A Confession is a Fruit of Repentance? |
A47399 | Do not Saints freely and voluntarily by the help of the Spirit and Grace of Christ, will that which is good and well- pleasing to him? |
A47399 | Do we not by our Obedience to God shew forth his Grace in us, as well as our Duty of Obedience to him; what New Divinity is this? |
A47399 | Do you think Baptism turns People to the Lord? |
A47399 | Doth not God wrong to Men, to require of him, that he is not able to perform? |
A47399 | Doth not Iohn positively deny, that the Covenant made with Abraham''s natural Seed as such, did give them a Right to his Baptism? |
A47399 | Doth not Iohn tell the People when they came to his Baptism, now the Ax is laid to the Root of Trees? |
A47399 | Ergo, Can Baptism it self give remission of Sins? |
A47399 | Ergo, What good did Simon Magus his Baptism do him, or Iudas''s, who, no doubt, was Baptised? |
A47399 | He farther shews, That abundance of the natural Seed of Abraham, were broken off, How were they broken off? |
A47399 | How can Water, an external Thing, work upon the Soul, in a Physical manner? |
A47399 | How forcible are right words, but what doth your arguing reprove? |
A47399 | How vain then are your Arguments? |
A47399 | How was it then reckoned, when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? |
A47399 | I answer first, who of us say that Circumcision was a Seal of the Covenant of Works? |
A47399 | If Iohn baptized all the People of Ierusalem,& c. then how was the Ax laid to the Root of the Tree? |
A47399 | Is not Faith required? |
A47399 | Is not the matter well amended with us? |
A47399 | Is this that the Mountains have brought forth? |
A47399 | It is said, the People ask''d him, What shall we do? |
A47399 | Must the Shadow or Sign be part of the Substance, or belong, or appertain to the Substance? |
A47399 | Nor is this any strange Thing, For are not all now, in these Days, under the Dispensation of the Gospel? |
A47399 | O, says one, the Covenant is theirs, it belongs to them, and shall we deny them the Seal? |
A47399 | Or can not that which God commands us to do, be done freely and voluntary by us? |
A47399 | Or, doth free Grace destroy the Noble Faculty of the Will, because it over- powers its vitious Habits, and strongly inclines it to that which is good? |
A47399 | Or, is a Confession of Sin not good, or an Evangelical Duty? |
A47399 | Or, must an External Confession of Sin make a Change, and so all other Duties, or else not be performed by us? |
A47399 | See here is Water, what doth hinder me to be baptized? |
A47399 | Sir, this being so, what is become of your Rational Arguments, for Infant Baptism? |
A47399 | Sir, 〈 ◊ 〉 not the genuine signification of 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, alike? |
A47399 | Then I would know whether they have their Names in their Church- Book, or Register, as Members? |
A47399 | This being so, What is become of Mr. Flavel''s Argument, which he makes such boast of, as if unanswerable? |
A47399 | This is strange, what People were these, and where dwelt they? |
A47399 | What a Christian is he, whose vile Nature was never changed? |
A47399 | What tho''''t is said Iohn was to turn the People to the Lord, and the Hearts of Children to the Fathers: was he able to change the Hearts of Infants? |
A47399 | When God works, who can let? |
A47399 | Who is able to know that? |
A47399 | You make Baptism a very insignificant Sign, what good can Baptism do that Parson that has no Grace? |
A47399 | You say right, we do not regard it indeed — Doth Baptism do all this? |
A47399 | and how was the Chaff sanned- away out of the Floor? |
A47399 | and their grievous Sin too? |
A47399 | and they durst not say from Heaven, lest Christ should have ask''d them, why then do ye believe him not? |
A47399 | and to be taught to take God''s Way as well as themselves? |
A47399 | and whether were it some, for all? |
A47399 | and, Why doth the Apostle say, Christ is the end of the Law, as touching Righteousness? |
A47399 | but they would take Care about this, if they were truly awakened? |
A47399 | can an Infant consess Sin? |
A47399 | did Iohn baptize all and yet all come to Christ to be baptized? |
A47399 | doth that import every Man? |
A47399 | given on Mount Sinai? |
A47399 | it being after Baptism, and was there any question to be made? |
A47399 | or every individual, who can tell? |
A47399 | or some of all degrees or sorts of Men? |
A47399 | or were Infants Hearts turned from their Fathers, that they need, whilst Iufants to have their Hearts turned to them? |
A47399 | or, Is thete any promise of Pardon, without unfeigned Repentance? |
A47399 | to teach all Nations, Circumcising them; do you think they would have had ground from thence to have circumcised their Infants? |
A47399 | was a Confession with the Mouth or Tongue, without considering any thing of the words? |
A47399 | was that their great ● st Evil? |
A47399 | what Privileges had the poor Gentiles under the Law, and their Children? |

A31663 | Or do any Answer those places we brought? |
A31663 | Or how he knew that he so read the Commission? |
A31663 | Or how many places can any bring where it necessarily signifys to dip? |
A31663 | Or must it be by pouring Water on them& c.? |
A31663 | Or prove us in the wrong? |
A31663 | Pray Mr. Russel, which of Mr. Leighs propositions do you deny? |
A31663 | Pray what is your Name? |
A31663 | Rus What Precept? |
A31663 | Shall we bear this? |
A31663 | Sir, I would fain know whether no one may be accounted a Schollar, but he that is actually capable of Learning? |
A31663 | So why may not Christian Infants Covenant in and by them? |
A31663 | So why may they not be admitted into Gods Church on the same account? |
A31663 | So why may they not be said Spiritually to come to Christ, in the Arms of their Parents Faith? |
A31663 | Tell me where Christ''s School is for teaching Infants, and who is Christ''s School- Master? |
A31663 | Then with respect to the first Question, Whether Adult believers only, or whether Infants also may be admitted to Baptism? |
A31663 | There is 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, — L. What wash Beds, or Tables, by Dipping them under Water? |
A31663 | They are capable of being Pardon''d, Justify''d, Sanctify''d and Clerified, and is it so with Brutes? |
A31663 | They have a Principle of Reason, tho''they have it not perhaps in present exer ● ise: Now is there vet no disparity between them and Beasts? |
A31663 | This also Mr. Russel hath deny''d; So that the whole Question result''s to this head: Whether any Infants be in Scripture call''d Disciples? |
A31663 | VVill you allow good Scripture Consequence to be Proof in this case; or do you expect Scripture words expresly? |
A31663 | Was he interrupted in reading the Text? |
A31663 | Was he not not allow''d to argue from the Commission? |
A31663 | Was the Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ a believer? |
A31663 | Was this before or after the Commission? |
A31663 | We grant he was helpful to him, and was chosen for that purpose, and was not Mr. Williams also to the best of his skill helpful to Dr. Russel? |
A31663 | Well, come, Tell me what he means by Compleat and Incompleat Disciples, by the Ministry of Men? |
A31663 | Well, what must I do? |
A31663 | Were they denied any priviledges? |
A31663 | Were they griev''d to have it clear''d up and be furnish''d with Arguments for the defence of it? |
A31663 | Wh ● might we not pray with, and for each other? |
A31663 | What Apprehensions must thi ● man have of those that never were dipt? |
A31663 | What Priviledges are the Infants of Believers Invested in by Baptism? |
A31663 | What do they laught at? |
A31663 | What do you mean by the Kingdom of Heaven? |
A31663 | What doth he mean by Incompleat Disciples? |
A31663 | What doth he mean by denying my Major? |
A31663 | What doth the Man mean to Write at such a rate as this? |
A31663 | What is it then? |
A31663 | What is the word in the Hebrew? |
A31663 | What is there in the notion of Infant Baptism that is inconsistent with the Fear of God? |
A31663 | What then? |
A31663 | What was the Offence? |
A31663 | What''s all this? |
A31663 | What''s the meaning of all this Noise about such little Children, do you think? |
A31663 | What''s this to the purpose we are upon? |
A31663 | What, will you not allow me to read my Masters Commission? |
A31663 | What? |
A31663 | What? |
A31663 | When''t is joyn''d with an Accusative — Why pray Dr. what other case doth it any way admit? |
A31663 | Whether he might not have spar''d all his Dutch? |
A31663 | Whether his Anabaptist Friends at Amsterdam do practice a Right Baptism? |
A31663 | Whether in the Administration of it, we be oblig''d to dip the Person wholly under Water? |
A31663 | Whether this Ordinance of Baptism, as appointed by Christ, be to be administred by Dipping, Plunging, Overwhelming only, and not otherwise? |
A31663 | Whether we may, and ought to devote our Infants to God in the Ordinance of Baptism? |
A31663 | Whether, according to the Commission of our Lord Iesus Christ, Adult Believers only are the proper Subjects of Baptism, or their Infants also? |
A31663 | Whether, both what Christ said and did, together with what the Apostles said and did, be the best explication of Christs Commission? |
A31663 | Which of Mr. Chandlers propositions do you deny? |
A31663 | Why can they not come Spiritually by Imputation, as before? |
A31663 | Why may they not be said Imputatively to believe, as well as Imputatively to come? |
A31663 | Why tempt ye God to put a Yoke upon the Necks of the Disciples, which neither our Fathers nor we were able to bear? |
A31663 | Will you condemn us and not tell us why? |
A31663 | Will you stand by the Authority of these Men in other Matters? |
A31663 | and where''s the difficulty this wonderful Critic hath left upon us? |
A31663 | as distinct from the Church- Militant, immediately upon his expiring is compleat, even an Infant 3 days old? |
A31663 | did you read this in your Latin or Greek Grammar? |
A31663 | leave out the first words, and assure the world he said, there is no God; would not this be call''d a Notorious Falshood? |
A31663 | seeihg Doope in that Language signifies only to wash, and is us''d when they only pour on Water? |
A85408 | & c. Yea, are not both women and children to be understood, where men only are named? |
A85408 | 1, 2* even as Subjects are under the names of their Kings, and Families and Descents, under the names of their Heads? |
A85408 | 1, 4? |
A85408 | 3, or 4 ▪& c. would such an act as this be unlawful? |
A85408 | And as for any competent ground otherwise to justifie the practice, hath such a thing ever seen the light of the Sun hitherto? |
A85408 | And besides, is it not altogether irrational to imagine or think, that Faith should be required in order unto Baptism, simply for Faiths sake? |
A85408 | Be no ways constrained, or solicited to communicate in this practice? |
A85408 | If not, is it any ways necessary that we should believe, or ought it to be any Article of our Faith to believe, that they were baptized? |
A85408 | If not, is not the practise of it traditional, and the product of humane discourse, as well, and as much, as the Baptizing of Infants? |
A85408 | If so, how, or wherein doth the excess of the danger, or evil of the consequence appear? |
A85408 | Or are such differences as these, of no authority, interest, or import, to umpire or decide the controversie depending between the two Baptisms? |
A85408 | Or are there not many cases, wherein a man may break a Law,[ i. e. a standing Law, or a Law provided for ordinary cases] and yet be blameless? |
A85408 | Or are there not several grounds, and these near at hand, very material and weighty, to strengthen this conjecture? |
A85408 | Or doth not our Saviour in the Gospel justifie that action of theirs notwithstanding? |
A85408 | Or hath the practice of admitting women to the Lords Table, any such, either precept, or example, to justifie it? |
A85408 | Or is there any precept, which injoyns baptizing, or dipping, in the name of Christ, after a baptizing in infancy into this name? |
A85408 | Or is there either vola or vestigium, little or much of such a practise as this to be found in the Scriptures, where they speak of Baptism? |
A85408 | Or is there not as much difference between hot water, and cold, as is between a child, and a man? |
A85408 | Or that God, or Christ, should enjoyn a requirement of them upon such a slender account as this? |
A85408 | That the Apostle to the former writeth thus: Know ye not, that SO MANY OF US as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death? |
A85408 | Whether did the Lord Christ, pointing to any river, or water, say, Vpon this water will I build my Church? |
A85408 | or is there any such precept, as that mentioned, or example in Scripture, for the warrant of it? |
A85408 | or profession of Faith, meerly for this Professions sake? |
A85408 | that He was the Son of the living God, which Peter had confessed, say, Vpon this Rock will I build my Church a? |
A85408 | that it became him to fulfil all RIGHTEOVSNES a? |
A85408 | that there were no Beleevers unbaptized in the Apostles days,) the contrary being apparant( as may be touched hereafter?) |
A85408 | why are they then baptized for the dead c? |
A85408 | yea and some cases, wherein he may do it with commendation? |
A66526 | 2dly, He confesseth that we have 30 Councils for Infants- Baptism; what then is become of his stout Assertion in his Treatise of Baptism? |
A66526 | 3. of his Reply? |
A66526 | 7, pertains not to the Carnal seed of Abraham, but to the Spiritual? |
A66526 | And at this rate what Author can be secure from the Violence of his interpretations? |
A66526 | And doth not Justin say it was lawful for all to receive the spiritual Circumcision, which is Baptism? |
A66526 | And for quoting this Mr. Danvers is in a pet, and saith, I produce a spurious piece[ is the Magdeburgensian History such?] |
A66526 | And how doth he clear himself of this? |
A66526 | And how doth this prove Believers the only subjects of Baptism? |
A66526 | And is it not a very great owning indeed, to say, he hath divers passages that seem to be against it? |
A66526 | And is there any hurt in this? |
A66526 | And truly if one were minded, how easy is it to retort upon him, and shew the vanity of his discourse in such a manner? |
A66526 | And was it not a ridiculous reason which he gave why young men, and those who were newly married, and young widows should delay Baptism? |
A66526 | And what do Osiander, Fuller and Bullinger say? |
A66526 | And why may not the other expression be as well taken in a limited sense? |
A66526 | And why may not this Council be supposed to be as inconsiderate? |
A66526 | And why may we not suppose these Waldenses to be guilty of as much Impertinency and Nonsensicalness as the Assembly and Dr. Manton? |
A66526 | Art thou afraid of the Seal( Mr. D''anvers will not have Baptism to be a Seal) because of the tenderness of his nature? |
A66526 | Because there is not one wo ● d of Infants, nor of Infants- Baptism, nor its Apostolicalness: And what of that? |
A66526 | But can Mr. Danvers find any- where in Rainerius where he positively saith, the Waldenses were against the practice of baptizing Infants? |
A66526 | But do they say in all things? |
A66526 | But hath he not forgotten what he speaks just before, That Cpyrian held Chrysin to be an Apostolical Tradition? |
A66526 | But how doth M. D. prove this? |
A66526 | But how doth Mr. Danvers make good what he affirms of Wickliff? |
A66526 | But is not this more than Mr. Danvers can prove? |
A66526 | But saith Mr. Danvers, Fabian hath fully hit Bede''s meaning: why? |
A66526 | But suppose Bazil had said it, what will it amount to? |
A66526 | But this Mr. D. likes not, and therefore, hath invented a way to reconcile the seeming difficulty( as he calls it) and what is that? |
A66526 | But to come more closly to the matter, what express Command have we for the observation of the Christian Sabbath? |
A66526 | But what are the weak grounds which Mr. Danvers mentions? |
A66526 | But what can be said to that which is further urged from Bazil? |
A66526 | But what doth this Council say against Infant- Baptism? |
A66526 | But what makes Mr. Danvers judg otherwise as to these Britains? |
A66526 | But what need more be said to this? |
A66526 | But what saith Mr. Baxter in the forementioned place? |
A66526 | But what sin have they commited? |
A66526 | But what will he think of me now? |
A66526 | But why should we question it? |
A66526 | But will Mr. Danvers allow of no consequences, or are not implicit Commands obligatory? |
A66526 | But, why should he fancy that this of Infants- Baptism, was one of those things fathered upon Cyprian? |
A66526 | Did it not shadow forth the mortification of Sin, Regeneration, and Redemption by the blood of Christ? |
A66526 | Do they indeed, saith he, believe the Lord''s Supper to belong in common with Baptism to all the Members of the Church? |
A66526 | Dost thou ask me the question? |
A66526 | Doth Mr. Danvers say, Circumcision was only a Seal to Abraham, not to Believers and their seed? |
A66526 | Doth Mr. Danvers say, it could not be a seal to an Infant that had no faith? |
A66526 | For now we shall want some Supreme Judg to determine, which are plain, which not; must we go to him and his party for resolution? |
A66526 | For the Interrogation is, Must the Faithful be Sealed with Baptism? |
A66526 | Hast thou a Child? |
A66526 | He hath made a good beginning, hath he not? |
A66526 | He saith, he quotes them not to prove Believers- Baptism was the only Baptism of those Centuries: Why then did he quote them? |
A66526 | How came the Canon of the Church of Rome into Mr. Danvers''s mind, of Childrens being born of God by Regeneration? |
A66526 | I let pass also Vice- comes, because he writes palpable lyes; how that Luther, Calvin, Beza, denyed Infants- Baptism; and why? |
A66526 | It is not manifest that in case of death, he would have an Infant baptized? |
A66526 | Marshal) the natural face of this Argument in a glass? |
A66526 | Mr. D. translates it not[ so] publickly, because else it might be presently queried, how then could Guitmund tell? |
A66526 | Mr. Wills, saith he, deals according to his wonted manner very disingenuously with me; but wherein I pray? |
A66526 | Must the Faithful be sealed with Baptism? |
A66526 | Nay, doth not Mr. Danvers himself tell us We admit of plain consequences? |
A66526 | Now how doth Mr. Danvers clear himself of this? |
A66526 | Now what shall I say to all this? |
A66526 | Origen''s Writings( saith he) are corrupt: who denies it in some things? |
A66526 | Tell me, I pray, and resolve the question, why are Infants baptized? |
A66526 | That it is a meer Impertinency, and nothing to the purpose, why so? |
A66526 | The Renovation of the Spirit, and Mortification of their Members? |
A66526 | The sayings of those Men[ Pedobaptists] are expresly for his Opinion, though it may be[ O sad is it but a may be?] |
A66526 | Then he comes to Infants, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉,& c. Hast thou an Infant? |
A66526 | Therefore, saith he, it must needs respect Infants- baptism; whether this be intended as an Argument, or a Conclusion, who can tell? |
A66526 | To this Mr. Danvers answers p. 36. of his Reply, I do him manifest injury: How so? |
A66526 | What if I say''t was at Carthage? |
A66526 | What thinks Mr. Danvers of that passage of Nazianzen in his 5th Book of Theology? |
A66526 | Where then is the manifest injury? |
A66526 | Wherefore it should be carried through all: Art thou a young- Man? |
A66526 | Who would not have judg''d Mr. D. by those lines a person able to command his Passion, yea a second Moses? |
A66526 | Why, by inveighing against me Suo more, and telling the World, that I am an injurious Man, and charge on him a Falsehood of my own making; how so? |
A66526 | Why? |
A66526 | Will this think you do the business? |
A66526 | Witnessing to what? |
A66526 | You desire to know of me,( who should best know my own Opinion) whether or( how far) those things are true which they say, and cite in my name? |
A66526 | and did they take up the practice with the Mass? |
A66526 | and how irrational are the deductions of such an innumerable company of Doctors and learned Divines? |
A66526 | and that against the express witness of so many worthy men, who lived a hundred years before them? |
A66526 | and the Answer is, Faith must needs preceed and go before; and how absurd is it? |
A66526 | and why may not this intend only the Adult as well as that above? |
A66526 | can any man that is rational deny it? |
A66526 | doth he not fly to rational Inference? |
A66526 | doth he not know that omne universale continet in se particulare, every universal contains within it self the particular? |
A66526 | doth not Dr. Owen positively assert it? |
A66526 | hath he any other way for it than consequential Reasonings? |
A66526 | head where the three last are his own? |
A66526 | head, the four last lines being his own? |
A66526 | how doth he know Baptizing is by Plunging? |
A66526 | is any one loosed that is not bound? |
A66526 | may we Baptize them? |
A66526 | nor in the 4th head where the last is his own? |
A66526 | p. 59) but do they say that none must be Baptized but such? |
A66526 | purpose? |
A66526 | shall I implore an Increpation from above, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A66526 | that he should not hold the same of Pedobaptism? |
A66526 | was it to cast Dirt on his Witness? |
A66526 | were then the subjects of Baptism? |
A66526 | were they against Infant- Baptism before they declin''d? |
A66526 | why all the sayings of the later Doctors and learned men( why not of the ancient ones too?) |
A66526 | why then do not Infants partake of one as well as the other, since it belongs to them in Common, if Members of the Church? |
A66526 | why then doth he call it an excellent History? |
A66526 | will this prove that he owned no other Baptism but that of Believers in opposition to that of Infants? |
A47448 | 1. of this Chapter; the Holy Apostle says thus, i. e. What shall we say then? |
A47448 | 12, 14, 39,& c. But do we reprobate our Children because we Baptise them not? |
A47448 | 12. to prove Baptism is Dipping or a figure of a burial? |
A47448 | 3 saith he, know ye not that so many of us as were Baptised into Christ, were Baptized into his Death? |
A47448 | 4. is not here more Covenants than one? |
A47448 | 41. proves no such, thing: What tho` the Babe leaped in the Womb of Elizabeth, doth that prove the Babe had faith or the habit of it? |
A47448 | Again, he saith, how can any Man know they have faith, since he never saw any sign of it, neither was he told so by any that could tell? |
A47448 | Again, he says, This deceitful Man hides the Sense and meaning of them from the World; Doth not this saviour of great malice? |
A47448 | Alas, they want Power to do it for themselves, and how then should they do it for others? |
A47448 | And brought them out and said, Sirs what must I do to be saved? |
A47448 | And if this was so, how then was the way and ordinance of God in their Holy administration, one and the same in all the Churches of the Saints? |
A47448 | And to these customs the Apostle alludes when he says, How shall we that are dead to Sin live any longer therein? |
A47448 | And what would this Man make a new Bible, have a new rule, to tell us of things never heard of? |
A47448 | And will any Man( says he) ye ●, will Paul ascribe all this to those that did not so much as profess the things signified? |
A47448 | Answer, Are these Savoury expressions? |
A47448 | Answer, Doth the Holy Ghost there refer to this change, or is Baptism a promise or a precept? |
A47448 | Answer, Friend, may not you be found( as far as you know) to assert false things of Jesus Christ? |
A47448 | Answer, I would know whether God is now in Covenant with Abrahams natural Seed as such; or are they not rejected? |
A47448 | Answer, Is not the Jewish Church State dissolved, and doth not Dr. Owen tell you their Old Covenant is gone? |
A47448 | Answer, Is this to shew your great wisdom? |
A47448 | Answer, Must the Carnal Seed be Members of the Gospel- Church as under the Law, or is it else not a better Covenant that God has established? |
A47448 | Answer, Sir, what reason do you give for this? |
A47448 | Answer, Where did God expresly forbid Abraham to circumcise his Male Infants, on the 7th or 9th day, or not to circumcise Female Infants? |
A47448 | Besides, we see they never mind nor regard their Covenant in the Case: and will not God one Day say, Who has required these things at your Hands? |
A47448 | But Friend, how can you hold Communion with such persons who have a counterfeit Baptism? |
A47448 | But Sir, are your Infants Church Members with you; doth the Church you belong unto consists of such as of the Adult? |
A47448 | But are our Children a part of our selves and are we not believers without our Children? |
A47448 | But sure, Sir, you mistake; your learning fails you: Will the food you eat feed your Wife? |
A47448 | But which of all these shall we give credit to? |
A47448 | Ca nt Men write upon controversible points without such bitterness, and reviling language? |
A47448 | Can God be glorified by Man''s Disobedience, or by adding to his Word; by doing that which God hath not required? |
A47448 | Can God be said to believe for us, or can there be faith in any subject, and yet no knowledg of the object, no nor one rational act exerted? |
A47448 | Can a natural Church consisting of whole Parishes, Families, and Provinces, be all one with Gospel Congregational Churches of believers only? |
A47448 | Can any of those that feed on the Flesh of Christ and drink his Blood, perish? |
A47448 | Did ever any Man before now intimate that Baptism is the essential part of circumcision? |
A47448 | Disprove it if you can? |
A47448 | Do we say, the promise of the New Covenant God made to Abraham is dissolved? |
A47448 | Doth Rantism or sprinkling bear any proportion to those great mysteries, here mentioned? |
A47448 | Doth not that imply they went out of it? |
A47448 | Doth she believe when you believe, because she is part of you, as here you intimate? |
A47448 | Faith was reckoned to Abraham for Righteousness; how was it then reckoned, when he was in Circumcision, or in Uncircumcision? |
A47448 | For''t is expresly said, Christ called that Child to him he was able to come, no doubt whom Christ called: Could an Infant do that? |
A47448 | Friend, what Babes were they Peter Speaks of? |
A47448 | Friend, what shall we think of you and your Papers? |
A47448 | Hath he been as good as his word, or hath he not? |
A47448 | How can Water, saith Mr. Charnock, an external thing, work upon the Soul physically? |
A47448 | How can you presume to assert, that they did not go out of the House? |
A47448 | How can you say Page 7. that they were all Baptized in his own House, when the Text speaks not any such thing? |
A47448 | How dare Men adventure, this being so, to change Baptism from Dipping into Sprinkling, and the Subject, from an Adult Believer, to an ignorant Babe? |
A47448 | How was it then reckoned? |
A47448 | How will he escape, who says a Man should not Steal, if he Steals? |
A47448 | I also ask you whether the Jewish Church that was founded upon that Old Covenant, is not gone and dissolved? |
A47448 | I ask you whether there was no Covenant made with Abraham, that belonged to his Natural Seed as such only? |
A47448 | I wish he knew his own Spirit and Weakness better, and not thus to admire what he hath done: Doth he think there is none can answer his Arguments? |
A47448 | I would know since you speak only of those habits to be in Believers Infants, whether they were infused before they were born or after? |
A47448 | If Infants as such were not included in the Covenant of Grace God made with Abraham, how can dying Infants be saved? |
A47448 | If Infants believe they know the object of their Faith; can any believe in him, whom they know not? |
A47448 | If any should say, why did you not cite these Assertions of Mr. B ● ● tn''s whilst he was living? |
A47448 | If we act according to the authority of Christ in Baptism, is not our Baptism good? |
A47448 | If we have it not here, saith Mr. Richard Baxter, where have it we? |
A47448 | In Page 82. he saith, speaking of Mr. Collins, was there ever such Legerdemain played with the Sacred Scripture? |
A47448 | In a Word; Can they make the Child or Children to repent and truly believe in Jesus Christ? |
A47448 | Infants have is it their own, do they believe themselves or their Parents for them? |
A47448 | Is here a word of the Cross, or suffering for Christ, or that we are Baptized to shew we must suffer Martyrdom with Christ? |
A47448 | Is it not gone, are his Carnal Seed as such still in Covenant with God, or are they not with their external legal Covenant cast out? |
A47448 | Is it not of your own making and devising? |
A47448 | Is it safe to Scoff and make a sport when we write about Sacred things? |
A47448 | Is it said he blessed them with spiritual blessings? |
A47448 | Is it said they were baptized in the Jaylors House? |
A47448 | Is not that distinction Mr. Collins speaks of, clearly laid down in these Scripture? |
A47448 | Is nothing required say I, of Adult believers but passive Obedience? |
A47448 | Is the Apostle speaking here of a Legal Federal Holiness? |
A47448 | Is this to make the Holy God, a God of order, or of confusion? |
A47448 | My Answer is, Must Infants of believers, as such, be comprehended in that Covenant, God made with Abraham, or else can they not be saved? |
A47448 | No saving our Baptism and Churches from sinking to the bottom, which he hath so furiously attacked? |
A47448 | Now can any of these things concern, or belong to Abraham ● Spiritual Seed, as such, that is, do they concern us Gentiles who do believe? |
A47448 | Now can this be a Truth, since Christ who was more faithful than Moses, and delivered every thing plainly from the Father? |
A47448 | Now will you say, if the Face or Head only of a Dead Corps was covered with Earth, and not the whole Body, that the Corps was buried? |
A47448 | Or do we say, those Jews that believed or their Elect Infants were cast out of the Covenant of Grace? |

A47448 | Question, What is an Instituted Church of the Gospel? |
A47448 | Sir, What think you now of two Covenants, and of a Covenant of peculiarity with Abraham''s Carnal Seed? |
A47448 | Sir, why did you not answer these arguments? |
A47448 | Such we grant are not true Ministers; but doth not he, think you, refer to such who were not trained up in School Learning? |
A47448 | That we impose those Doctrins upon the People: Dare you falsly charge and condemn the innocent? |
A47448 | Then I hope you will only have Elect Infants to be Baptised, and how do you know which they are, since they can make no confession of Faith? |
A47448 | These in plain words are not forbid, are they therefore lawful? |
A47448 | This being so, to what purpose do you make such a stir about the word Everlasting? |
A47448 | To this Mr. Shute says, pray where do you find this distinction concerning the everlasting Covenant God made with Abraham, and his Seed? |
A47448 | Was God the God of all Abrahams Carnal Seed as such; by way of special interest? |
A47448 | Was it from the pain that circumcision put the Infants to, that the Apostle calls it a Yoke, that neither they nor their Fathers could bear? |
A47448 | What Enemy could reproach us worse? |
A47448 | What Text can be wronged worse? |
A47448 | What can not God do? |
A47448 | What could Goliah of Gath, or proud Rabshaketh say more? |
A47448 | What difference is there between Baptisma( Greek) and Baptism? |
A47448 | What is become now of your everlasting Covenant, God made with all the People of Israel or natural Seed of Abraham? |
A47448 | What is required of Persons to be baptized? |
A47448 | What of this? |
A47448 | What reason hath he also to affirm, that none believed but the Jaylor himself? |
A47448 | What, a Church under the Law and not a legal Church? |
A47448 | When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? |
A47448 | Where are you now with your humane invented, Lame, Decrepit Salvation,& c. Are not these Unchristian Reflections? |
A47448 | Where did Christ forbid Infants of Believers, the Lords Supper? |
A47448 | Where hath Christ forbid Baptizing of Turks, and Insidels, or the Children of unbelievers? |
A47448 | Where is crossing in Baptism forbid, or Popists Salt Spittle, or Crisom or other Popish rites? |
A47448 | Whether Children are in the Covenant of Grace, absolutely or conditionally? |
A47448 | Whether in matters of meer positive right, such as Baptism is, we ought not to keep expresly and punctually to the revealed will of the Lawgiver? |
A47448 | Whether our Baptism be a Truth of Christ, or a Counterfeit, will appear in our Answer; but why are we no Churches? |
A47448 | Whether that can be an ordinance of Christ to which there is neither precept nor example? |
A47448 | Why did this Man leave the Church of England? |
A47448 | Why do we say that Irrational creatures are not fit Soil for the Seed of the word? |
A47448 | Would you not have us give the true sense of the Word wherein we concur with all learned Men? |
A47448 | Yet what is this to the Infants of Believers, as such? |
A47448 | You confess he did not Baptize them; did he them give them habitual Faith for that blessing you plead for to be in Infants? |
A47448 | You might have added many other Places of Scripture, where we read of Sprinkling: But what would it signify? |
A47448 | and whether Circumcision did not belong to that Covenant, and so a Covenant of Peculiarity? |
A47448 | are there any Acts precedent ▪ concomitant or consequent to this pretended habit? |
A47448 | but since you know so well, pray what spiritual blessings were they? |
A47448 | can a few drops on the Face represent that; or what representation is there in that of a Resurrection? |
A47448 | did not God take away the first, that he might establish the second? |
A47448 | doth not the Apostle exclude the Carnal Seed of Abraham as such; from being included in the Covenant of Grace? |
A47448 | doth that figure o ● hold forth the burial of Christ, or that of the old Man? |
A47448 | dying Infants in; differing in any point or part of it, from that wherein he saves Adult believers? |
A47448 | have you any ground to run that parallel from any Text of Scripture? |
A47448 | himself? |
A47448 | how saith he, could this token of the Covenant be everlasting, if the Essence thereof was dissolved upon the coming in of the Gospel? |
A47448 | how then could this be the unchangeable Covenant of Grace? |
A47448 | how then were any dying Infants saved before Abraham''s days, or before the Covenant was made with him? |
A47448 | i. e. in which Gentile believers, and their Seed were no ways concerned; was not Christ to come only of Abraham and his Seed, according to the flesh? |
A47448 | if so what doth your arguing prove, nor is there a new Gospel national Church like the Church of the Jews instituted in the room of the old? |
A47448 | if you should, would you not be laught at? |
A47448 | is it not because they have no understanding? |
A47448 | is that Branch of our Baptism a counterfeit also? |
A47448 | is that in our power? |
A47448 | is this the Spirit of Jesus Christ? |
A47448 | know you not, that so many of us who were Baptized into Christ were Baptized into his Death, both in sign and signification? |
A47448 | of Grace, yet how do you prove God doth regenerate Infants in the Womb or Cradle? |
A47448 | or can Baptism bring into, or cast out of Gods election? |
A47448 | or was it not rather because it lay them under an obligation to keep the whole Law? |
A47448 | or will your Faith serve her? |
A47448 | the Blessings of the Covenant of Grace made with the Root Abraham; but what is this to our Carnal Seed as such? |

A77497 | ( saith the Anabaptist) what warrant hath it for it? |

A77497 | 20.? |
A77497 | Abrenuncias? |
A77497 | All this while wee doe not read that Christ Baptized these Infants? |
A77497 | And can not God as well make it good unto our children without this Sacrament? |
A77497 | And did he shew such affection to them? |
A77497 | And hath Christ thus honoured some of this tender age ▪ What shall new bee done to them, whom the King of Heaven delighteth to honour? |
A77497 | And how could Christ have expressed greater affection to these babes then he did? |
A77497 | And shall not grace doe it much more? |
A77497 | And to whom did they bring them? |
A77497 | And what Gospel should they preach? |
A77497 | And what are they? |
A77497 | And what could hee have done more for them? |
A77497 | And what is it that so prevailes with them for the sucking in of this errour? |
A77497 | And what lesse doth the Anabaptist in cutting off Infants from communion with Christ and his Church? |
A77497 | And what rigour? |
A77497 | And what see we here? |
A77497 | And what? |
A77497 | And wherefore displeased? |
A77497 | And wherefore else should he give so strict a charge concerning them, that they should have free accesse unto him? |
A77497 | And wherefore should Satan have such an evill eye at them? |
A77497 | And wherfore of him? |
A77497 | And who can do this but the Saviour of the world, the Lord Christ? |
A77497 | And who were these poore Innocents? |
A77497 | And who were they? |
A77497 | And whom did they bring? |
A77497 | And why not as capable of the one Sacrament, as of the other? |
A77497 | And why not the other? |
A77497 | And why not? |
A77497 | And why? |
A77497 | Answering to it? |
A77497 | Are there not others of an implacable spirit? |
A77497 | Are there not some amongst us, who care not what wrong, what injury they do to others, so they may but benefit and advantage themselves? |
A77497 | Are there not some whose hearts are full fraught with rancour, malice, envy? |
A77497 | Are we such? |
A77497 | As little children? |
A77497 | Being once offended, once provoked, they will never be reconciled; never forgive, much lesse forget injuries? |
A77497 | Besides this( in the third place) who knoweth how, and in what way God may be pleased to concur, and worke together with his Ordinance? |
A77497 | Besides this, I told you of a Ceremoniall Reason: Infants were not to be circumcised before the eight day: Why? |
A77497 | But all this while, what is this to the purpose in hand? |
A77497 | But by whom? |
A77497 | But do we thus resemble them? |
A77497 | But hath Grace made no difference? |
A77497 | But how can Infants, have any interest in Christ, or receive any benefit by him, when as they can not come unto him? |
A77497 | But how can this be( saith the Anabaptist) seeing that Infants doe not actually believe? |
A77497 | But how commeth this Covenant to be transmitted from the parent to the childe? |
A77497 | But how did they know, that that marke was given them for any such religious end, and purpose? |
A77497 | But how prove they what they say? |
A77497 | But how shall children afterwards know that they are made partakers of this Ordinance? |
A77497 | But the question may be touching the reason of it; why God would have it so? |
A77497 | But what holinesse then is it that that the Apostle here meanes? |
A77497 | But what if I should be deceived herein? |
A77497 | But what if the childe dye in the meane time? |
A77497 | But what if the other Parent, the Mother be unwilling withall, not willing the childe should bee Baptized? |
A77497 | But what if they doe come, and come willingly, offering, and tendering themselves to visible communion with Christ? |
A77497 | But what is here meant by their Children? |
A77497 | But what needeth this? |
A77497 | But what outward Holinesse is it? |
A77497 | But what qualities are these? |
A77497 | But what say we then to the Argument? |
A77497 | But what shall or what can the Parent do to bring the Childe under the Promise? |
A77497 | But what then( it may be said) are all Infants of beleeving parents in Covenant? |
A77497 | But what then, must men be forced to come unto Christ? |
A77497 | But what was, or is this Confirmation? |
A77497 | But which way shall this be done? |
A77497 | But( saith the Anabaptist) what is all this to the point in hand? |
A77497 | But( secondly) how can it be proved that Infants did eat the Passeover? |
A77497 | But, alas, is it not far otherwise with some amongst us? |
A77497 | Confirmation rightly administred and used? |
A77497 | Confirmation what? |
A77497 | Demanding of the Adversaries, what benefit Infants under the Old Testament had by Circumcision? |
A77497 | Dost thou beleeve? |
A77497 | Doth hee avow, and conferre the thing signified, who shall then deny them the signe? |
A77497 | Doth hee invite them to communion with himselfe ▪ Who shall keepe them backe, by debarring them of the meanes of that communion? |
A77497 | Even thus saith the Anabaptist, what should children be brought to Baptisme? |
A77497 | For this Scripture is expresse: when the Eunuch put the question to Philip,[ See here is water ▪ what doth hinder me to be baptised?] |
A77497 | For wherein lyeth the honour of a Prince more than in the multitude of Subjects? |
A77497 | Gods time, I, but when is that? |
A77497 | Here then the great Question now falls in: Who they are that in the judgement of charity are to bee thought to be within the Covenant? |
A77497 | Herein how injurious are they to the Kingdome of Christ? |
A77497 | Herein what doe they but as much as in them lyeth, debar them from comming unto Christ? |
A77497 | How did the Israelites know that theirs was given them with such an intent? |
A77497 | How many well- meaning soules are there every where, that bottome their faith upon the wisedome, or upon the piety and holinesse of men? |
A77497 | How prove we that? |
A77497 | How shall I build my faith upon it? |
A77497 | How shall Parents bring their children unto Christ? |
A77497 | How shall this be? |
A77497 | How so? |
A77497 | How so? |
A77497 | How so? |
A77497 | How so? |
A77497 | How then can they be said to have any interest in Christ, or receive any benefit by him? |
A77497 | How then dare any shew such dis- affection towards them, as to shut them out of the Church, whether triumphant, or militant? |
A77497 | How? |
A77497 | How? |
A77497 | I, but quo jure? |
A77497 | If it should, the evidence is clear ● ▪ wherefore else were they circumcised? |
A77497 | In denying Baptisme unto Infants, what doe Anabaptists lesse than the Disciples here did? |
A77497 | In this to receive the Kingdome of God as little children? |
A77497 | Infants are not subjects capable of any benefit by baptisme, and therefore why should they be baptized? |
A77497 | Infants eat the Passeover, why not then the Lords Supper, as well as be baptized, because they were circumcised? |
A77497 | Is it so that we have done the like for our Infants? |
A77497 | Is it transmitted by the way of naturall generation? |
A77497 | Is not the promise it selfe sufficient? |
A77497 | Is there yet no difference? |
A77497 | Let it be demanded of them, what expresse precept do they finde there for the observation of a Christian Sabbath? |
A77497 | Meere naturall men how contented doe wee finde them oftentimes in their meane conditions? |
A77497 | No difference? |
A77497 | Now in this case what should the husband doe? |
A77497 | Now of which of these shall we understand our Saviour here in the Text? |
A77497 | Now to keep them from coming unto Christ, what a dimunition was it to his Kingdome? |
A77497 | Now what is this but to prejudice their children against that way, wherein they would have them to walke? |
A77497 | Out of envie? |
A77497 | Q. Holy? |
A77497 | Quid tibi? |
A77497 | Sanctifie them? |
A77497 | Secondly, But so have not others, why then should they lay on hands? |
A77497 | Seventhly, Againe, children being wronged and injured by others, what are their weapons? |
A77497 | Shall we presently hearken unto them? |
A77497 | So as if it hold in the one, why not in the other? |
A77497 | That Infants should be in Covenant under the New Testament, because they were so under the old, it followeth not( say they;) why? |
A77497 | The Question is, Who they are that may and ought to be baptized? |
A77497 | These are their reasonings; and are they not( for substance) the very same with the supposed reasonings of the disciples here in the text? |
A77497 | They can not lay hold upon Christ by faith; how then shall they receive any benefit by him? |
A77497 | They would not have the Infants brought unto Christ, Why? |
A77497 | This promise( say they) it belonged to them, and their children, and to those a far off, but how? |
A77497 | Those which were a far off; But who were they? |
A77497 | Those who are thus baptized in their Infancy, how shall they know, and be assured that they are baptized? |
A77497 | Time convenient; when is that? |
A77497 | To grant all, what advantage can hence be taken? |
A77497 | To have communion with him in his Ordinances, though against, or without, their wils? |
A77497 | To what purpose else should this subsequent act serve? |
A77497 | True, but how? |
A77497 | Were they unwilling that these Infants should receive any benefit from Christ? |
A77497 | What Kingdome? |
A77497 | What are they who( as much as in them lyeth) offer them up unto S ● ● ● ●? |
A77497 | What did they it out of malice? |
A77497 | What else( in the first place) meanes that of the Apostle St. Peter in that knowne place? |
A77497 | What if a man should believe that he is baptized when he is not? |
A77497 | What if an Hebrew childe dyed before the eight day? |
A77497 | What if the mother bee unwilling? |
A77497 | What is here meant by the latter of these? |
A77497 | What is it then to cut off a lambe from the bodie of Christ? |
A77497 | What is this but a dismembring of the bodie of Christ? |
A77497 | What is this, but even( as it were) to pull Infants out of the armes of Jesus Christ? |
A77497 | What must aged persons( according to Nicodemus his conceite of the doctrine of Regeneration) repuerascere, turne children againe? |
A77497 | What see we here? |
A77497 | What see we here? |
A77497 | What then shall become of Infants ▪ may they not be baptized, and so must be damned? |
A77497 | What then shall become of Infants, and sicke, and impotent persons? |
A77497 | What then( saith the Anabaptist) was Circumcision a type of Baptisme? |
A77497 | What then? |
A77497 | What then? |
A77497 | What then? |
A77497 | What then? |
A77497 | What unwarrantable, uncharitable, and unchristian rigour is this? |
A77497 | Whence is it? |
A77497 | Wherefore else should Christ call them unto himselfe? |
A77497 | Wherein must Christians be like unto children? |
A77497 | Wherein then? |
A77497 | Whether Infants of beleeving parents be in Covenant or no? |
A77497 | Whether children of the holiest parents, and in the purest Churches, may and ought to be baptized in their infancie? |
A77497 | Whether necessary, or no, it is made a question? |
A77497 | Whetherthen can poore necessitous creatures repaire better than unto Christ? |
A77497 | Who is there that knoweth the way of his own naturall birth? |
A77497 | Who shall abide in thy Tabernacle, who shall dwell in thy holy hill? |
A77497 | Who then? |
A77497 | Who then? |
A77497 | Who were those a far off? |
A77497 | Why no later? |
A77497 | Why no later? |
A77497 | Why no sooner? |
A77497 | Why not? |
A77497 | Why the eight day? |
A77497 | Why? |
A77497 | Will our Adversaries say the same of the children of Infidels and Pagans, that they are Holy? |
A77497 | Without guile in their words? |
A77497 | Witnesses to what? |

A77497 | [ Behold the dayes come( saith the Lord) that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel,& c.] What Covenant? |

A77497 | debar them from union and communion with him? |
A77497 | how the body is framed and fashioned in the wombe? |
A77497 | how, and when the soule commeth to be infused into it? |
A77497 | is it not hereby damni ● ied or endangered? |

A77497 | the doctrine of Church- Discipline, Church Officers, Church- government,& c. what shall we call or count strong meat? |
A77497 | their hearts, hands, tongues full of guile, full of deceitfulnesse, full of hypocrisie? |
A77497 | to all that are in Covenant, Infants as well as others, what needeth any new order in this particular? |
A77497 | what are all the Infants of beleeving parents inwardly inherently holy, truly sanctified by the Grace and Spirit of Christ? |
A77497 | what doth it run along with the blood? |
A77497 | what either precept or president doe they meet with for womens receiving of the Lords Supper? |
A77497 | what maketh this for P ● d ● baptisme, the baptisme of Infants? |

A77497 | why no later? |
A77497 | why no sooner? |
A77497 | why not the next moneth, the next yeare? |
A47602 | 16. he or she? |
A47602 | Alas, they want Power to do it for themselves, and how then should they do it for others? |
A47602 | Also why did Christ make Disciples first, and then baptize them? |
A47602 | And a damning Sin? |
A47602 | And also to say, I Baptize thee in the Name,& c. when indeed he doth not Baptize, but only Rantize the Child? |
A47602 | And because they baptized Proselytes both Men, Women and Children, must Christians do so too? |
A47602 | And doth 〈 … 〉 open a Door to other innovations? |
A47602 | And if it was a human Jewish Tradition, what is become of one of the great Sacraments of the New Testament? |
A47602 | And if some Additions were made to the old Custom, why might there not be some Diminutions also? |
A47602 | And is not Faith turned there into Vision? |
A47602 | And whether to allow the Church a Power to make such Alterations, be not dangerous? |
A47602 | And will any Man( says he) yea, will Paul ascribe all this to 〈 ◊ 〉 that did no ● so much as profess the thing ● 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A47602 | Are not the Papists Pedobaptists, and some of the first and chief Assertors of it, and what an erronious Crew are they? |
A47602 | Besides, we see they never mind nor regard their Covenant in the Case: and will not God one Day say, Who has required these things at your Hands? |
A47602 | But how dare you 〈 … 〉, the Church hath power to dispense 〈 … 〉 Dipping ▪ and change it into Sprinkling? |
A47602 | But is it so indeed? |
A47602 | But why do you say this is a circumstantial Thing? |
A47602 | Can God be glorified by Man''s Disobedience, or by adding to his Word; by doing that which God hath not required? |
A47602 | Can an Infant sent into a 〈 … 〉 be more confident for Christ 〈 … 〉 when he comes to be a Man, than ● ● ● e had not been baptized? |
A47602 | Can any outward Act bring or introduce People either young or old into the Covenant of Grace, if they are brought thereby into the Covenant of Grace? |
A47602 | Did not Moses make every Law, Precept or Command plain, that he that runs might read it? |
A47602 | Did you never read of the Figure Sylepsis, or Conceptio, that comprehends the less worthy under the more worthy, indignioris sub dign ● ore? |
A47602 | Do you not herein implicitly confess that Custom amongst the Jews was humane? |
A47602 | Do you not intimate it was not instituted anew, but rather a Custom continued? |
A47602 | Doth Baptism, Sirs, make either Children or others Disciples? |
A47602 | Doth Sprinkling represent a Burial? |
A47602 | Doth not the Apostle say, we shall behold Face to Face; and the pure in Heart shall see God? |
A47602 | Doth not the Church of England say, that Baptism is the outward Sign of an inward spiritual Grace? |
A47602 | Eleventhly; You ask whether Children have not as much right to their Baptism as that of Adult Females? |
A47602 | Ergo, Infants ought not to be baptized ▪ If any should say, Why did you not cite these Assertions of Mr. Ba ● ter''s whilst he was living? |
A47602 | For, as Mr. Baxter saith, If we have it not here, where have we it? |
A47602 | Furthermore; because Believers are made holy by the Operations of the Spirit, are all their Children made holy in like manner also? |
A47602 | Have not we shewed that the proper Antitype of Circumcision in the Flesh is that of the Heart? |
A47602 | Have you proved that Custom among them was Jure Divino? |
A47602 | How can Water, saith Mr. Charnock, an external thing, work upon the Soul physically? |
A47602 | How dare Men adventure, this being so, to change Baptism from Dipping into Sprinkling, and the Subject, from an Adult Believer, to an ignorant Babe? |
A47602 | I ask you, whether a Man may not be made a Disciple, and not be Baptized, or, be Baptized, and yet not be discipled? |
A47602 | I query, whether this be good Divinity, not rather a strange Doctrine? |
A47602 | If Children be saved whether baptized or not, what signifies Baptism? |
A47602 | If so, I query, Whether Circumcision was an Ordinance that appertained to the Covenant of Grace, and was the Seal of it? |
A47602 | If you should, whither would this ● ead you? |
A47602 | In a Word; Can they make the Child or Children to repent and truly believe in Jesus Christ? |
A47602 | Is it Wisdom in you in such a corrupt Age as this is, to lay down such Assertions? |
A47602 | Is it not said, This Sect is every- where spoken against? |
A47602 | Is not Faith the Evidence of Things not seen, and the Substance of Things hoped for? |
A47602 | More, a Papist, was glad he had not proselyted Persons to his youthful Errors; must we therefore be afraid to promulgate a positive Truth of Christ? |
A47602 | Moreover, how can they come to the knowledg of spiritual Things by Sense? |
A47602 | Nay, and what Arguments do you bring to prove they thereby are introduced into the Covenant of Grace? |
A47602 | Now can this be a Truth, since Christ who was more faithful than Moses, and delivered every thing plainly from the Father? |
A47602 | Or, hath the Gospel- Church a greater dispensing Power in such Cases, than the Church had under the Law? |
A47602 | Pray what Precept of the Mosaical Law lay so dark or obscure, that it could not be proved without Consequences? |
A47602 | Pray, what an assurance can that give them of the Favour of God, unless he had appointed it, and imparted some spiritual Grace thereby to them? |
A47602 | Pray, what was the Doctrine he preach''d? |
A47602 | Shall that be such a sight that Moses had whilst on Earth? |
A47602 | Sixthly; To what purpose do you mention Jairus''s Daughter? |
A47602 | Tenthly; What signifies what some of the Ancient Fathers believed, i. e. That Federal Holiness of Parents made Children Candidates for Baptism? |
A47602 | The Baptism of John, whether is it from Heaven, or of Men? |
A47602 | The first Question you pretend to answer is this, i. e. Whether Baptism( as it is commonly taught) is the proper and natural Antitype of Circumcision? |
A47602 | To contemn this Order, saith he, is to contemn the Rules of Order, for where can we find it if not here? |
A47602 | Unless a Man be bor ● again; the Woman is included; or, have Women no Souls? |
A47602 | Was it in being long before, and yet not instituted or appointed by Jehovah? |
A47602 | Was it necessary then, that a human Tradition of the Jews should be continued? |
A47602 | Was not Nadab and Abihu''s Transgression, and that of Uzzah''s, more like Circumstantials than this is? |
A47602 | We grant they may have Faith hereafter; what tho? |

A47602 | What is it they have not received in Heaven, which they trust in God for? |

A47602 | What kind of poisonous Stuff is this you trouble the World with? |
A47602 | What think you of those that die in Infancy unbaptized? |
A47602 | Where do you read of it? |
A47602 | Whether Infant- Baptism is to be found in the Scripture? |
A47602 | Whether have Children Faith or no, since Faith and Repentance are Prerequisites to Baptism? |
A47602 | Whether the Church hath a good Warrant that will justify her before God, in changing the Mode from Dipping to Sprinkling? |
A47602 | Whether the Faith of the Parent, or Gossip on the Child''s behalf, be required of God, or will be imputed to the Child by God? |
A47602 | Who gave her such Power? |
A47602 | Who to ● ● you so? |
A47602 | Why Sprinkling, and not Dipping? |
A47602 | Why do you attempt to blind the Eyes of the unwary Reader? |
A47602 | Why was not Christ baptized before he was thirty Years old? |
A47602 | Will you assert and stand by it, that Baptism was a Jewish Custom, and so no pure Gospel- Institution? |
A47602 | Would it be proper to say, He sprinkled them into Jordan? |
A47602 | You ask what Priviledg the Children of Believers have above Unbelievers? |
A47602 | You would think it hard, if I should ask you what sort they were that Ralph Wallis used to expose, and fill his Carts with? |
A47602 | and whether that Alteration doth so well answer the Design of the Holy God, as that Ceremony which himself appointed? |
A47602 | are there any Acts precedent, concomitant or consequent to this pretended Habit? |
A47602 | are they by this Habit so much as disposed to an actual Belief without a new Master? |
A47602 | as for Example, ● uid tu& soror facitis, 〈 … 〉& mater miseri; perimus ● ● ●& uxor qui ad ● ● stis testes estote? |

A47602 | how often is that Word mentioned in other Places, to signify any manner of coming to? |
A47602 | or could it be in the Commission, and yet the Apostlet never to mention it, but contrariwise, require Faith ● ● ● all they admitted to Baptism? |

A47602 | or, if so, that it remained and was continued by Christ? |

A62861 | & c. But to whom is it apparent? |
A62861 | & c. teaching that infants of believers are ordinarily holy, and admitted into the Kingdom of Heaven, though dying unbaptized? |
A62861 | ( saith he) what ridiculous arguing is this? |
A62861 | 10. why tempt ye God to put a yoke on the neck of the disciples, which neither our Fathers nor we were able to bear? |
A62861 | 15. that all Idolaters shall be without? |
A62861 | 16. the expression 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, For how knowest thou? |

A62861 | 76? |
A62861 | 8. good, after other arguments against non- residence? |
A62861 | All the creatures in the world may be Emblems of some good; and must they therefore permit the bringing of all to Christ? |
A62861 | And could they know of Christs private intents and designs? |
A62861 | And do you not see it fulfilled before your eys? |
A62861 | And have they onely a right to this relation? |
A62861 | And how could it be their fault to hinder people from bringing infants to Christ, if they might not know that they ought to be admitted? |
A62861 | And if all of them be abrogated, how can it be true that the law about circumcising Infants still binds? |
A62861 | And if you open this Gap, what a multitude of fopperies will rush in? |
A62861 | And is it not then to tautologize to say, when it pleased God, that I should preach the Son of God to others that I might preach the Gospel? |
A62861 | And is not here enough to satisfie us yet, that he doth not cast all infants in the world out of his visible Kingdom or Church? |
A62861 | And is not that to give them the relation it self? |
A62861 | And should it not be so in baptism also? |
A62861 | And that I meant other humble ones, and not these? |
A62861 | And that the method of preaching to us Gentiles must be fetch out of this place? |
A62861 | And to his question, Are infants the Kings Subjects or servants in a passive sense onely? |
A62861 | And to say that God commands Sacraments to seal the Covenant, what is this but to say that God commands himself? |
A62861 | And was it not them that he bid should be suffered to come( that is to be brought) and was it not them that he blessed? |
A62861 | And what a multitude of Ceremonies will this admit into the Church, to the burthening of mens consciences, and the polluting of Gods worship? |
A62861 | And what if they can not at first learn to know Christ? |
A62861 | And what was that yoke? |
A62861 | And when a man hired a Philosopher to teach him and all his children, were they not all then Disciples of that Philosopher? |
A62861 | And whom would they have perswaded thus to be circumcised? |
A62861 | And why doth not Mr. Sidenham take the whole nation into a Church, when the whole nation was taken in formerly in Abrahams posterity? |
A62861 | And why not by smiles, and kisses and whipping? |
A62861 | And why not then to servants, and wives, and friends? |
A62861 | And will he say that the Parents are onely passive servants? |
A62861 | And yet dare you boast so confidently of your prepared confutation? |
A62861 | Are Infants the Kings Subjects or Servants in a passive sense onely? |
A62861 | Are not they of the houshold? |
A62861 | Are the Heavens Gods servants, because he brought them out of Egypt, and separated them to himself as a peculiar People? |
A62861 | Are the Heavens onely passive servants of God? |
A62861 | As for Dr. Homes his question, Is any Anabaptist sure there were no infants in these families? |
A62861 | As for Mr. Ms. frivolous question, Were not the infants of the Jews devoted to God by Circumcision, though they could not actually devote themselves? |
A62861 | As for the question may they not be so called as destinated to his service for the future? |
A62861 | Besides this contingent event here was uncertain as appears v. 16. what knowest thou? |
A62861 | Besides, what sense is there in these words[ some of the nations of the heathen]? |
A62861 | But at what age they are to be admitted members? |
A62861 | But dare Mr. M. in good earnest say that John Baptist did admit persons to Baptism that were not in a state of repentance? |
A62861 | But he adds, And doth not this plainly tell us, that the parents faith is the condition? |
A62861 | But is this an express prohibition of it? |
A62861 | But saith he, How have the believing Jews lost this privilege or Proselytes of the Gentiles? |
A62861 | But saith he, or is it not evidently reducible to one of the former? |
A62861 | But was Mr. T. of this minde when he wrote these words? |
A62861 | But what kindness had this been to a little childe in age as an infant, that travayls not? |
A62861 | But what saith Mr. T. against this? |
A62861 | But what then? |
A62861 | But where doth Mr. B. find this admission so fully determined in the old Testament? |
A62861 | Can preaching the Gospel be fitly sayd to be the end or consequent of preaching the Son of God which is all one with preaching the Gospel? |
A62861 | Did Mr. Blake? |
A62861 | Did ever any wise man command to men that man should be a reasonable living body, or whitenesse a visible quality, or fatherhood a relation? |
A62861 | Did he take any but infants into his arms? |
A62861 | Did you over hear me talk of such a thing? |
A62861 | Do not you care to smite through Christianity, so you may bring down infant- baptism? |
A62861 | Doth he think they that deny infants to be Disciples allow brutes to be Disciples? |
A62861 | Doth it follow that they are servants in the same sense, when the action is so unlike? |
A62861 | Doth not Christ say, The Angel of the Church of Pergamus dwelt where Satans throne was? |
A62861 | Doth not God bid his Apostles baptize those that were Disciples without distinguishing? |
A62861 | Doth not God call them his servants himself? |
A62861 | Esau was the childe of Isaac a believer, Ishmael of Abraham, yet neither entered into the Covenant of grace, neither justified by the parents faith? |
A62861 | For how can that make a binding rule to us about another meer positive Rite without any other Institution, which it self is abrogated? |
A62861 | For what do Papists persecute us for else, but because we reject their justification by works? |
A62861 | For what is it to put Doctrine on any but to Teach him? |
A62861 | For what is it to reveal his Son by him or through him to others, but to preach the Gospel to them? |
A62861 | For what is the receiving? |
A62861 | For what knowest thou O Wife whether thou shalt save thy Husband? |
A62861 | For would Christ have blessed so a Sheep or Dove? |
A62861 | Hath he a good wit now or a bad minde, that can raise a dust for the darkning of so express and plain a Text? |
A62861 | How did the Disciples hinder Christs design? |
A62861 | How doth Mr. Blake prove that it was called The Land of Immanuel, because the whole of the nation was in Covenant? |
A62861 | How i ● one made a disciple, but by conversion? |
A62861 | How silent is the N. T. concerning Christian magistracy? |
A62861 | How silent is the New Testament concerning a Christian Magistracy? |
A62861 | I demand of Mr. T. whether the Apostle speaks in the person of Christians or in the person of women? |
A62861 | I might easily do) that the Heavens are Gods servants actively, and Christ also is called his servant actively? |
A62861 | If Mr. B. should prove in like manner infants to be believers, what need the respondent shew any other cause than this, that they have not faith? |
A62861 | If any ask whether a national covenant or a covenant of parents for children be now allowable? |
A62861 | If it was to be so at first gathering of churches, why did not those in New England observe it then when they first gathered their churches? |
A62861 | If par ratio will not serve turn to prove an ordinance of Christ, or at least to warrant a practice, how will our brethren prove baptizing of infants? |
A62861 | If the parent be not a believer, the childe is left out: And what other condition can be imagined? |
A62861 | If this were no fault in them, why should Christ be displeased, and much displeased at it? |
A62861 | Is it not God that giveth them right to this relation? |
A62861 | Is it not common to call the whole nation of the Turks both old and young by the name of Mahometans, or Disciples of Mahomet? |
A62861 | Is it not enough that it was expresly decreed against, v. 24.? |
A62861 | Is it the Commission of circumcising Gen. 17? |
A62861 | Is it the same use that God maketh of both? |
A62861 | Is it therefore in the same sense? |
A62861 | Is not this the door that the body of Popish trash came in at? |
A62861 | Is not this to make the same act and the same persons not the same, which is a contradiction? |
A62861 | Is that good Philosophy? |
A62861 | It is somewhat indeed that they can learn to kiss the mother, stroke her breasts,& c. but what''s this to make them Disciples of Christ? |
A62861 | May I not make this a third Argument of it self? |
A62861 | May I not take up the Poets words, Tantaene animis coelestibus irae? |
A62861 | Mr. B. goeth on thus, So that if you ask me, whether it be certain or onely probable, that infants are members of the visible Church? |
A62861 | Mr. B. himself, when in the next words[ And whom would they perswade to be circumcised?] |
A62861 | Mr. M. himself paraphaseth thus, will ye be his disciples, will ye profess him? |
A62861 | Must these usages of theirs be a patern to Christians? |
A62861 | Must you not be compelled to go by a consequence to bring it in, which is ab I contend for? |
A62861 | Now I demand of this pretended interpretation, whether it be possible Saint Pauls argument should conclude in this sense? |
A62861 | Now is any man so sensless as to think they did these things to infants? |
A62861 | Or how knowest thou O Husband whether thou shalt save thy Wife? |
A62861 | Or how knowest thou O man whether thou shalt save thy Wife? |
A62861 | Philip resolved the Eunuch demanding, What hindereth me to be baptised? |
A62861 | Quis enim credat? |
A62861 | Sacramentum institui et Ceremoniam non determinari? |
A62861 | Saith Mr. B. Doth Christ say, To such as them in this or that respect onely, and not to them,( or saith he) not in general, To such? |
A62861 | Saith Mr. B. Hath not God prevented all these Cavils by joyning Parents and Children together in the same title? |
A62861 | Saith he, And where Mr. T. saith, It was not from any knowledg they had of their present visible title; I answer, Who said it was? |
A62861 | Saith he, What if the Earth and Infants were both called Gods Servants onely in a passive sense, because God maketh use of them? |
A62861 | Shall we say it were in no other sense than the Earth is so called? |
A62861 | T is true, the main question is, whether infants are to be baptized? |
A62861 | The main question is not, by what sign members are to be admitted into the Church? |
A62861 | The second rule( he saies) overthrows all, for if we may not rest solely on the analogy, why at all? |
A62861 | The third likewise saith he, is uncertain and vain; For how shall we know when the analogy holds full proportion? |
A62861 | The unbelieving Husband hath been sanctified in the Wife, thus, For what knowest thou O Wife whether thou shalt save thy Husband? |
A62861 | They are thy Servants; Are they therefore Disciples? |
A62861 | To w th he replies in his Praefestinantis morator, What not yet? |
A62861 | To what he saith, Will you allow of such an argument for infant- baptism as Christ brings for the Resurrection? |
A62861 | To which I answer no, but what then? |
A62861 | To which I replied, As if Gods dictum were not factum: if they were not cast out, why doth the Apostle allege that Text? |
A62861 | Was it any other than the discovery of his mercy to the species of infants, and to those among others? |
A62861 | Was it not plainly them that he did bid them receive( in the former Chapter) and was it not them that he would not have to be kept from him? |
A62861 | Were ye baptized into the name of Paul? |
A62861 | What Design was it that Christ had in hand? |
A62861 | What are the heathen but the nations? |
A62861 | What doth Mr. B. mean by this? |
A62861 | What if Christ were called Gods servant for his suffering? |
A62861 | What need any man assigne any cause at all why infants are not Disciples, but because the term[ Disciple] agrees not to them? |
A62861 | What reason can he give why they may not be called Disciples in a passive sense as well as servants? |
A62861 | Where find you a Christian in the New Testament that exercised the place of a king, a Parliament man, or Justice of Peace, or the like? |
A62861 | Where is that distinction in the command? |
A62861 | Whereto I reply, he may as well deny the Snow to be white, as deny it: Can any put Doctrine but on Persons that can be taught? |
A62861 | Who dare say that this Synod did not decree against Circumcision and keeping the Law? |
A62861 | Who dare say that this Synod did not decree against the command, doctrine, obligation, necessity, opinion of Circumcision, and and keeping the Law? |
A62861 | Who dare think that the word[ to such] is not rather inclusive as to them than exclusive? |
A62861 | Who denies it? |
A62861 | Why doth he gather his Church with such choice distinguishing some from others? |
A62861 | Why may they not be called Servants from the meer interest of Dominion that God hath to them? |
A62861 | Will Mr. B. charge the Spirit of God with needless committing so many histories, sayings of Christ& c. to writing, because they were written before? |
A62861 | Will any say that it was not infants in the former Text and this that Christ speaks of? |
A62861 | Would Iohn admit manifest impenitents? |
A62861 | Yea from manna and the rock to the Lords Table? |
A62861 | Yea, if the analogy direct in the nature, use and extent of an instituted worship, what doth it else but make a new worship? |
A62861 | and authority over them? |
A62861 | and that they were not reputed of God to be baptized, because there is no mention of their childrens baptism? |
A62861 | and the Argument that hardneth them in it, and hindereth their reformation to this day? |
A62861 | and when is a man converted, but when he is brought to believe? |
A62861 | and when, either sleeping or waking? |
A62861 | and why? |
A62861 | and why? |
A62861 | and yet still call for Scripture proof? |
A62861 | but because there was enough said of them in the old? |
A62861 | but that it is his will they should be admitted? |
A62861 | by calling on the name of the Lord, which is a work of their own: Do they therein turn the name of the glorious God into a Creature? |
A62861 | even to such as he took in his arms and blessed? |
A62861 | implies, thou canst not tell whether thou shalt save thy husband? |
A62861 | nor the uncircumcised males in the wilderness? |
A62861 | now this is as fully determined in the old Testament, as most things in the Bible, and therefore what need any more? |
A62861 | now who were these disciples? |
A62861 | or are they blessed of Christ, and yet not so much as visible members of his Church? |
A62861 | or by what Emblem he would teach them? |
A62861 | or doth he bid them baptize active Disciples, but not passive ones? |
A62861 | or else how could it be a reason for releasing them in the year of Jubilee any more than for releasing any other? |
A62861 | or if there must be more: may they not be called so, as being destinated to his service for the future? |
A62861 | or others shewing; I asked once a Preacher at Bewdley where it was? |
A62861 | or upon what terms he dealeth with them for life or death? |
A62861 | or when he would do it? |
A62861 | or whether by a sign or without? |
A62861 | so of an oath before a Magistrate, of war, of the Sabbath,& c. how sparing is the new Testament? |
A62861 | so of an oath before a Magistrate, of war, of the Sabbath,& c. how sparing is the new Testament? |
A62861 | the Doctrine of Church- discipline, Church- officers, Church- goverment,& c. what shall we call o ● count strong meat? |
A62861 | the same thing to be done twice, except men had questioned the authority of the old? |
A62861 | the whole Scripture is the perfect word and law of God;& if he should reveal all his mind in one part, what use should we make of the other? |
A62861 | what more should a man expect to warrant him to do so? |
A62861 | when is the proportion full? |
A62861 | when nothing can be fairly brought against the one, but may be also concluded on the other? |
A62861 | when the use and sufferings are so unlike? |
A62861 | where is the old Commission that we must understand this by, so as to proceed the way to the Gentiles that was taken among the Jewes? |
A62861 | who then or what hindreth them from possessing the relation which they have right to? |
A62861 | yet can you find no law that made women Church- members? |
A27008 | ( And are all the Anabaptists Graceless that are yet Unmartyred? |
A27008 | ( the Law which they were under?) |
A27008 | 1. Who is it that this man converseth with whose confident reports he published? |
A27008 | 36, 37. and receive Children in Christs name, and as belonging to Christ, if none do visibly belong to him? |
A27008 | Abuse not your selves and others: we are first to agree Whether Infants may be Church members, and under the Covenant of Grace with their Parents? |
A27008 | All Promises of Pardon to the Adult are conditional, and some means for certain Title is prescribed? |
A27008 | And by what means is it? |
A27008 | And did Paul flee like a Hireling when he went from places of less liberty to other more commodious places to Preach? |
A27008 | And do you think that Paul mentioneth that as a great and comfortable priviledge of Believers, which belongs to Heathens equally with them? |
A27008 | And do you think then that they befriend Christ or his Church, who turn the Sacrament of our Union into the occasion of our great Division? |
A27008 | And how proveth he that I was lowdly called to suffer? |
A27008 | And how will men answer the non- performance hereof any more than their not Praying for them, or not feeding or Cloathing them? |
A27008 | And if I give an hundred pounds to one man, when I owed him no more than others, doth that make him for the future become my Charge?) |
A27008 | And if Infants be not added to the Church, are they not excluded from Salvation? |
A27008 | And if so, alas, will he put no bounds to this sin, while he thinks that he cryeth down our sin? |
A27008 | And is that a safe way of Repenting? |
A27008 | And is your impatient and general Invectives, and your self- justifying, an infallible proof of your great Wisdome? |
A27008 | And no one can know who any of these be? |
A27008 | And what Law shall Infants then be judged by? |
A27008 | And whether he did so from the beginning of the world, or after his Incarnation? |
A27008 | And who can say in all the world, that any Child of his hath any part in such a Promise? |
A27008 | And why should I suspect such incapacity? |
A27008 | And why? |
A27008 | And yet what other than this feigned Antinomian Justification do the Anabaptists allow to any Infants in the world? |
A27008 | Answer, I am more willing to do it than not, but I am not able: I do believe( according to the measure of the aforesaid evidence) that it is a Truth? |
A27008 | Are his Reporters infected with his Disease? |
A27008 | Are they Justified or not Justified? |
A27008 | Are this mans Citations to be credited? |
A27008 | Ask any Impartial man whether you write like one that knoweth himself? |
A27008 | But de facto, doth he deny the latter? |
A27008 | But how shall other mens Experiences be known to me, but by Report or Fame? |
A27008 | But if you will say that it is conditional, what is that Condition? |
A27008 | But let the question be whether I did well to believe it? |
A27008 | But should I not yet disbelieve it? |
A27008 | But the last Question is, Have I not wronged their Cause by wronging the Persons, in believing Fame, that ever any of them Baptized naked? |
A27008 | But what if I be foolish, and you be wise? |
A27008 | But, Reader, what''s all this to the Question, Whether our Infants are in Covenant with Christ, or Visible Members of his Church? |
A27008 | But, Sir, I am not so much as a Hireling? |
A27008 | By what Law am I condemned to such a Drudgery? |
A27008 | Can he prove that I said[ All Baptized naked?] |
A27008 | Can not you suffer fools gladly, seeing you your selves are wise? |
A27008 | Christ is the Owner? |
A27008 | Dare you not own the Contraries, and yet continue your accusation of my words? |
A27008 | Did I begin with Mr. D. or he with me? |
A27008 | Did Paul sin for not scourging and imprisoning himself? |
A27008 | Did you hear his case, or do you judge before you hear it? |
A27008 | Do I need to answer my own words, before any Charge against them be proved, or proof once attempted? |
A27008 | Do any Nations under Heaven level all Children, as if the Parents communicated neither good or evil to them? |
A27008 | Do you mean that you doubt whether ever the Anabaptists will have Power enough to effect it? |
A27008 | Either it is a Mercy or no Mercy to be in Christs Family or Church? |
A27008 | Ergo I should not Preach in the Parish Churches? |
A27008 | Ergo R. B. should not Preach in the Summer in the Country? |
A27008 | Ergo he sinned in avoiding suffering oft before? |
A27008 | Ergo we must make our own Cross, and take up that instead of Christs? |
A27008 | From my Arguments, which take in the whole Party? |
A27008 | Had he done it truly and fully, had that been any Argument against them? |
A27008 | Have I said any thing offensive to him, besides the detecting of his marvellous audacity in strange heaps of untruths in matters of Fact? |
A27008 | Have all the Anabaptists and Separatists lived all this while in sin, that lived out of Prison? |
A27008 | Have they no need of Pardon, and a Saviour? |
A27008 | Have they not Right of Inheritance and Honour; even of Crowns, Lordships, and Lands? |
A27008 | He saith, it is my scope and design? |
A27008 | How prove you that it was a flight? |
A27008 | How prove you that it was from my Charge? |
A27008 | I would I knew which of these two you judge your selves to be? |
A27008 | If I did not,( as I know I did not) to say I did were to lie; and is it worthy his writing a Book to tempt a man to lie? |
A27008 | If I had, is that any thing to the question in hand? |
A27008 | If by any, by what? |
A27008 | If by none, how know you it? |
A27008 | If not to all, to whom, or to how many? |
A27008 | If so, is it to all, or to some only? |
A27008 | If they Baptize not next naked in one linnen Shift, I never heard it denyed till now? |
A27008 | If they are under no Covenant of Promise that giveth them title to life, how can they have title by it, or be judged by it? |
A27008 | If they be not so much as visible Members, who can say that they are invisible ones? |
A27008 | If this be all one with him, are we not so to judge of his other Expositions? |
A27008 | Is it Ergo R. B. did ill to come out of the Goal when he was put in? |
A27008 | Is it a slander of Mr. Tombes his citing Vossius, or of Vossius cited by him, to say that some Baptized naked in former times? |
A27008 | Is it not a meer Diversion? |
A27008 | Is it then no slander of Mr. Danvers to say, and stiffly defend it, that the ancient Churches ordinarily did so? |
A27008 | Is it to more than twenty in the world? |
A27008 | Is there no means for the certain pardon of our Infants? |
A27008 | Is yours so? |
A27008 | Just thus the Quakers dreadfully adj ● re me to repent of all that''s against their way; and must I therefore do it? |
A27008 | Must not the perusal of the full words decide the Case? |
A27008 | Nay do you not do worse than deprive us of our hopes, even lay such grounds as destroy and exclude them, by a sentence of damnation? |
A27008 | Not that I remember? |
A27008 | O how far will partiality blind men? |
A27008 | Or do you mean, that till we are Martyred we are not capable of your good Opinion? |
A27008 | Or have more Anabaptists than Poedobaptists been Martyred in our times?) |
A27008 | Or is it only your Prognostick on supposition of my Tryal? |
A27008 | Or is it, Ergo I should have bound heavy burdens for my self? |
A27008 | Or is it, that I should not ● ave made such for others? |
A27008 | Or is the Promise of their Salvation without any Condition? |
A27008 | Or shall the same man take me as injurious for believing the same of some of them for a very little time? |
A27008 | Or that he did ill not to put himself in again? |
A27008 | Or that it was the Cross of Christ that I avoided? |
A27008 | Or whether CHRIST, the Saviour of the World, hath shut all Mankind out of his Visible Kingdom, and Covenant- Rights and Hopes,''till they come to Age? |
A27008 | Or why more of yours than of theirs, if I have nothing from you but confident Gnerals, which they can say as well as you? |
A27008 | Or, Ergo, Christ sinned in avoiding the Cross so oft before? |
A27008 | Or, Ergo, R. B. must go into a Prison that he may give over Preaching the Gospel? |
A27008 | Otherwise how could you and such others bring your Consciences to wrest and wrangle against such abundance of plain Scripture Texts? |
A27008 | Shall not all that are judged, be judged by Gods Law? |
A27008 | Shew us where in Scripture we may find it? |
A27008 | The next Text speaketh of Pauls Preaching till midnight? |
A27008 | The next Text tells us that we must take up our Cross and follow Christ,& c. And what thence? |
A27008 | There is no Scripture president for Baptizing any Kings; must none therefore be Baptized? |
A27008 | This Convenant is Vniversal to the Adult, as offered on the condition of Believing acceptance: And is there no Promise, no Covenant for Infants? |
A27008 | This is a strange Promise, and is no mutual Covenant? |
A27008 | This is too unsatisfactory an answering of Books, to Beseech us to repent of them? |
A27008 | This were to make it run unto a Fleshly Line indeed? |
A27008 | Was it not enough for me to lay down the Contraries to my Doctrines, and leave the Reader to choose which he seeth best? |
A27008 | Was this no injury? |
A27008 | Were all the Circumcised Israelites, and all the holy seed till Christ, at once both in the Church, and in Satans Kingdom? |
A27008 | Were it but this one, what could be plainer? |
A27008 | Were we agreed against Infants Covenant- Right, when should we ever be agreed at what Age it is that they are to be received? |
A27008 | What a sin is it to rob Christ of so great a part of his Church? |
A27008 | What a sin is it to teach men to be thus unnatural, and cruel to their Off- spring? |
A27008 | What a sin so far to confound the state of Christians and Pagans, as to their Childrens blessing? |
A27008 | What a sin so to deny the Gospel Grace and Promise, and to hide so much of the Love of God? |
A27008 | What a sin so to enlarge and honour the Devils Kingdom, as to give him all mankind visibly, till they come to age? |
A27008 | What a sin thus to change and take from the Word, yea from the very Covenant of God? |
A27008 | What a sin to deprive so many millions of Covenant- pardon, Grace and Life, by hindering the acceptance and consent? |
A27008 | What a sin to vilifie so great Mercy, as if it were none, and to preach such ingratitude? |
A27008 | What doth he but recite some scrap of my words? |
A27008 | What kin are they to the Text? |
A27008 | What more should I answer? |
A27008 | What reason then to suppose that Christ obliterateth even Natures Laws? |
A27008 | What thence? |
A27008 | What thence? |
A27008 | Whether Mr. Tombes denyed it when I wrote it? |
A27008 | Whether ever any Anabaptist that then was acquainted with me, yea or any one person denyed it to my hearing or knowledge? |
A27008 | Why doth he Print this confident Report if not to be believed? |
A27008 | Why so? |
A27008 | Will not the presence of thousands of witnesses secure a man from the forgery of any unnamed Slanderer? |
A27008 | Would you not take it for a Mercy if you believed that God in Scripture gave it, to all the Seed of the Faithful dedicated to him? |
A27008 | Yea thus do the Infidels themselves now use me, and must I therefore yield? |
A27008 | You here call us to Repent of a Position as Absurd and Heretical? |
A27008 | You say, that It is now a common question whether ever I will die a Martyr? |
A27008 | and his lamentable injury thereby to the Church of Christ? |
A27008 | and is it not the common light of Nature, which teacheth all men so to esteem them? |
A27008 | and may not a Family be Sanctified by dedication to God? |
A27008 | and what guilt against Christ, and of furthering Infidelity, should I have incurred, under the pretense of promoting the purity of his Kingdom? |
A27008 | and what is one Syllable? |
A27008 | and when a Childs Profession were Valid? |
A27008 | and why may they not as well be Christs Subjects as the Kings? |
A27008 | are not Infants members of other Societies? |
A27008 | are not Infants the Kings Subjects? |
A27008 | are they not members of Families? |
A27008 | are they not members of all the Kingdoms in the world? |
A27008 | by any or none? |
A27008 | if it be, why should we think that the Saviour of the world procureth it to no Infants? |
A27008 | if none, why do you value it? |
A27008 | much less the owner of the Sheep? |
A27008 | or are they left remediless as the Devils? |
A27008 | or more to Christians Children than others? |
A27008 | or that Pagans have not as much of it as Christians? |
A27008 | or that have had maintenance and quietness, while R. B. hath been laid in the common Goal, and hunted by one sort, and reviled by the other? |
A27008 | pray doth he not disprove himself? |
A27008 | they attempting what they did against me too late, just when they and their Co- partners were a pulling down themselves and others? |
A27008 | when he tells men of my writing for Popery, Conformity,& c. can his yea or my nay go for proof with any that is in doubt which of us saith true? |
A35303 | 10, 12? |
A35303 | 16, 17. which nevertheless Peter expressly calls a Covenant? |
A35303 | 5. why not that made with Abraham also, since the Terms are the same, as well as the Promises were the same? |
A35303 | 7, 8, 9, 10. to be a part of it? |
A35303 | 7, 8, 9, 10. to be a part of it? |
A35303 | 9, 10? |
A35303 | And I pray Sir, why not? |
A35303 | And do not Righteousness and Peace sweetly Kiss and Embrace each other, through the satisfaction of Christ? |
A35303 | And doth he not also tell us that''T is evident that no Man is justified by the Law in the sight of God? |
A35303 | And how dare you then to say, that sure there is a Wide difference between the Covenant and Circumcision the Token of it? |
A35303 | And how doth the Law work Wrath? |
A35303 | And how is it then a Covenant of Faith, or a Gospel Covenant, as you affirm it is? |
A35303 | And how is it then a Covenant of Faith? |
A35303 | And how is it then a Covenant of Faith? |
A35303 | And how was the Law then of the same Nature with the Promise? |
A35303 | And if so, How was the Law added as an Appendix to the Promise? |
A35303 | And is an absolute and a conditional Covenant, the same for Substance? |
A35303 | And now, Sir, say you, what course do you take to avoid this Argument? |
A35303 | And shall we presume to affirm notwithstanding that the Law is of Faith, yea a Covenant of Faith in Christ Jesus? |
A35303 | And that is, First, Whether the Sinai Covenant was a Covenant of Works, or a Covenant of Faith? |
A35303 | And then, where lies the ground of your Confidence, when you say, What can possibly be more plain? |
A35303 | And there being no such thing there expressed, how can that alter the Nature of that Covenant from being a Gospel Covenant? |
A35303 | And what hath any Man that he hath not received? |
A35303 | And what is the ground of this Objection? |
A35303 | And what more convincing Testimony, or Evidence can we desire, that the Covenant of Circumcision was not a Covenant of Faith, but of Works? |
A35303 | And what shall relieve us under the guilt of such Daily Covenant Breaches? |
A35303 | And who doubts of that( say I?) |
A35303 | And why is it called the First or Old Covenant, but because it was the first Covenant Transaction that ever passed between God and Man? |
A35303 | And why? |
A35303 | And why? |
A35303 | And why? |
A35303 | And will you call this an Incompleat Gospel Covenant, when it was that through the Faith of which the Heathen were to be Justified? |
A35303 | And yet do you not as positively assert in your forementioned Book, That the Law admitted no Repentance? |
A35303 | Are not Mercy and Truth here met together? |
A35303 | Are not these two verses wholly taken up with the promises on God''s part? |
A35303 | Are there not here many particular Blessings, and those great enough, and good enough, Promised to him and them? |
A35303 | Are they not sufficiently Blessed whom God thus Promiseth to Bless? |
A35303 | Are ye so foolish, having begun in the Spirit, are you now made Perfect by the Flesh? |
A35303 | But Sir, do you think you speak sense in this Passage? |
A35303 | But can we think that Men of Reason will be so easily baffled? |
A35303 | But do I therefore say, that there was Pardon on Repentance in either of these Covenants? |
A35303 | But if it have the Name, where is the thing? |
A35303 | But is the Law then against the Promises? |
A35303 | But then I ask you again; How came he to be Circumcised? |
A35303 | But what plain Scripture Testimony may not be after this sort Evaded and Eluded? |
A35303 | But who told you so( say I) that it was the same Covenant for Substance with this now entred with him? |
A35303 | But why had not Mr. Flavell evinced this, and so knockt them down, as he saith, at one Blow? |
A35303 | But yet nevertheless; In the first place''t is Evident, that the Gospel Covenant in the First Discovery thereof, is wholly Free and Absolute? |
A35303 | But, Sir, can you, indeed, upon second thoughts, think this to be a fit or proper Answer? |
A35303 | Can you justly and truly say, That the Law was not such in its first Institution, as you there affirm concerning it? |
A35303 | Did Christ Die to purchase a Reconciliation betwixt the Covenant of Works, as such, and the Covenant of Grace? |
A35303 | Did not Christ satisfie the Law on our behalf? |
A35303 | Did not God himself, in the first Promulgation of it, pronounce a Curse upon the least transgression thereof? |
A35303 | Does not that also there alter the nature of the Covenant, as well as here in the 17 th chapt? |
A35303 | Does the Promise and the Restipulation make two Covenants, or are they just and necessary Parts of one and the same Covenant? |
A35303 | Does the Promise and the Restipulation make two Covenants? |
A35303 | Doth he insist upon his own Covenant Engagements, and the Faithfulness of their Performance? |
A35303 | Doth it therefore follow that the full Age and capacity of the Heir, are Causes or Antecedent Conditions of his Title to the Estate? |
A35303 | Doth not the Apostle expressly, designedly, industriously affirm and prove it, that the Law is not of Faith? |
A35303 | Doth not the Law it self that was before our Enemy, against us, and contrary to us, stand up as our Friend, through the Mediation of Christ? |
A35303 | Doth or can the Law it self Impeach those for whom Christ Died, and whom God himself pronounceth Righteous? |
A35303 | Doth the same Fountain, at the same time, send forth bitter Waters and sweet? |
A35303 | Expresly call this Covenant, the Covenant of Circumcision; the Sign of Circumcision, being that which gives the Denomination to the Covenant it self? |
A35303 | For I testify to every Man that is Circumcised, that he is a Debtor to do the whole Law? |
A35303 | For can you say that God never made any Covenant of Works with Abraham, and the rest of the Fathers? |
A35303 | For if Abraham were justified by Works, he hath whereof to glory, but not before God: For what saith the Scripture? |
A35303 | For is there nothing but Restipulation in the following verses? |
A35303 | Had he not two Sons, the one by a Bond- maid, the other by a Free- woman? |
A35303 | Hath he spoken it, and will he not peaform it? |
A35303 | He therefore that Ministreth to you the Spirit, and worketh Miracles among you, doth he it by the Works of the Law, or by the hearing of Faith? |
A35303 | How comes it to pass that the Apostle doth so directly oppose the Righteousness of Faith, to the Righteousness of that Covenant? |
A35303 | How comes it to pass, say you, that the Covenant to Abraham himself was a pure Gospel Covenant? |
A35303 | How could God make of Abraham a great Nation, but with reference to his Seed, whether Natural, or Spiritual, or both? |
A35303 | How notoriously false and absurd is that Doctrin which asserteth the possibility of Believing without the efficacy of Supernatural Grace? |
A35303 | How then were they Saved? |
A35303 | If a Man redeem a Captive from Slavery, and lays down the Price, will any Man call his bare acceptance of Liberty, the Condition of his Ransom? |
A35303 | If not; what was it then, I ask you, that Paul there means, when he speaks of Abraham''s being in Circumcicion? |
A35303 | Is the Law then against the Promise? |
A35303 | Is the Law then against the Promises? |
A35303 | Is there any Scripture that gives the least ground for such a Supposition? |
A35303 | Is there not here a Perfect Reconciliation betwixt the Two Covenants? |
A35303 | Is this by manifestation of the Truth, to commend your self to every Man''s Conscience in the sight of God? |
A35303 | May we not make any thing or nothing of the Scripture, after this rate of Reasoning? |
A35303 | Nay what truths of the Gospel can we be sure of, if this Course be allowed? |
A35303 | Now I pray Sir consider, which of the Two Covenants is the more compleat? |
A35303 | Now what doth Mr. Whiston reply in the dark, without once mentioning what it is that he gives Answer to? |
A35303 | Now whom shall we believe, Paul or you? |
A35303 | Now whomshall we believe, whether Paul or you? |
A35303 | Or are they just and necessary parts of one and the same Covenant? |
A35303 | Or that which concerned Abraham''s Natural Posterity only? |
A35303 | Or upon what account was he Circumcised? |
A35303 | Or was it possible for them so to be, since this was Abraham''s peculiar Prerogative to be so entituled? |
A35303 | Or was it reckoned to him by vertue of some Promise, or any Covenant he was then under? |
A35303 | Or what does he take Comfort in, when he comes to the winding up of his Days? |
A35303 | Or what moves them to keep it, and hold it fast, though they run the hazard of all that is near and dear unto them? |
A35303 | Or will he alter the thing that is gone out of his Lips, that he will write his Laws in the Hearts of those whose Sins he pardoneth? |
A35303 | Secondly, Whether the Covenant of Circumcision was not of the same Nature? |
A35303 | Shall they fly from one part of the Covenant to the other, from the Bitter Waters to the sweet Waters of the same Fountain for Relief? |
A35303 | So that I perceive, he is not fixed in his Mind, whether Abraham''s Covenant be an Entire or Partial Foundation onely? |
A35303 | So then Abraham was not justified by Works before God, but by Faith alone ▪ But how doth that appear? |
A35303 | That he thus expresseth himself, only to shew the Sence of the Jewish Teachers, or the Opinion that they had concerning the Nature of Circumcision? |
A35303 | Thirdly, Whether the Gospel Covenant is wholly Free and Absolute; or Conditional? |
A35303 | This is evident,( saith the Apostle) and why? |
A35303 | This is my Covenant which ye shall keep; every Man child among you shall be Circumcised? |
A35303 | This only would I Learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the Works of the Law, or by the Hearing of Faith? |
A35303 | To affirm that these words must needs be understood of the Covenant of Circumcision? |
A35303 | Was he not made of a Woman, made under the Law, to Redeem them that were under the Law, that we might receive the Adoption of Sons? |
A35303 | Was not Justification by Faith a Spiritual, as well as a Particular, Blessing to those that should be the Proper Subjects thereof? |
A35303 | Was not the Gospel the Covenant, and the Covenant the Gospel? |
A35303 | Was the Law capable of being altered or changed in respect of its true and proper Nature and Institution, by the Ignorance and Infidelity of Men? |
A35303 | Was there not a Covenant of Works made with our first Father, and in him with all his Posterity? |
A35303 | Well, but what then?) |
A35303 | Well, how will you reconcile these two passages? |
A35303 | Well, suppose it do not, what then? |
A35303 | Were not Abraham, Isaac and Jacob children of wrath by nature, as well as others, and consequently then under the First or Old Covenant? |
A35303 | What a hard shift will some Men make to maintain their Opinions? |
A35303 | What if some did not believe, shall their unbelief make the Faith of God without effect? |
A35303 | What shall we say then that Abraham our Father, as pertaining to the flesh hath found? |
A35303 | What then? |
A35303 | What think you, Sir, was not this the Gospel Covenant which God made with Abraham? |
A35303 | Wherefore then serveth the Law? |
A35303 | Wherefore then serveth the Law? |
A35303 | Whether that which comprehends the Elect of God in all Nations, both Jews and Gentiles? |
A35303 | Who will call this a Condition? |
A35303 | Will you make the Promises of God to be of none effect? |
A35303 | Will you say, or can it be immagined that God never made any Gospel Covenant with Abraham, Isaac, or Jacob, or the rest of the Fathers? |
A35303 | Ye shall therefore keep my Judgments and my Statutes, which if a Man do, he shall live in them? |
A35303 | Yea, do you not see that the very same Absurdities are far more justly and truly chargeable on your Doctrin than on mine? |
A35303 | but on the contrary that the Man that doth these things shall live by them? |
A35303 | do contain any thing of Restipulation on their part? |
A35303 | say I, what is the meaning then of that Promise, I will make of thee a great Nation? |
A35303 | the 7 th ▪ he proceeds to speak of another Covenant than what he had been speaking of before? |
A35303 | this only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the Works of the Law, or by the Hearing of Faith? |
A35303 | was their Restipulation? |
A35303 | what do I meet with but Ridiculus Mus? |
A35303 | what shall such poor weak Souls do? |
A93044 | 11. with many others, true Believers in Christ? |
A93044 | 15. for if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall their receiving be but life from the dead? |
A93044 | 23. Who can forbid Water, that these should not be baptized, that have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? |
A93044 | 27, 28. and he said unto them, Will you be his Disciples? |
A93044 | Among all that Multitude are they sure there were no Orphans that were uncapable of actual Faith? |
A93044 | And are not all true Believers in Christ real Christians? |
A93044 | And can they( after all this) sin themselves out again, and become Reprobates? |
A93044 | And did Mr. Earl indeed baptize Mr. Fox by dipping, as you confess, by saying, he was dipp''d at Havant? |
A93044 | And did he make one,( i. e. one Wife) yet he had the residue of the Spirit; and wherefore one? |
A93044 | And do you( after all) tacitly acknowledg that there is a total silence of Scripture in this matter? |
A93044 | And if the whole Church were baptized, what doth it teach but that all Gospel- Churches ought to be baptized? |
A93044 | And if they are, where be the Attestations under their hands, that you obtained an intire Victory at the Dispute? |
A93044 | And is it not about the Subjects in particular that we were then speaking of? |
A93044 | And must not that all be so restrained, where it is said, he was baptized and all his straightway? |
A93044 | And shall the Mother of our Lord be denied this Appellation? |
A93044 | And what can you shew in the Commission that will authorize you to baptize the Infant of a Christian more than the Infant of a Heathen? |
A93044 | And what have we in the room of the Feast of First- fruits, and of the Feast of Ingatherings? |
A93044 | And what were the Disciples that came together to break bread? |
A93044 | And who fairly improved it to the World, you or we? |
A93044 | Are Infants capable of apprehending Christ in his Natures, and in his Offices, for so he must be apprehended as the Object of Faith? |
A93044 | Are not these bold Men, to charge Paul with writing false Greek? |
A93044 | Are there any Lies that are not false? |
A93044 | Are they sure there will be need of it? |
A93044 | But further, Pray, worthy Sir, must your Forgetfulness be charged as my Lie? |
A93044 | But must this be your way of ridiculing the Ordinance of Christ( as by us pleaded for?) |
A93044 | But pray how doth he acquit himself from being 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, condemned in himself? |
A93044 | But say these Gentlemen, can not God give Infants the Seed of Faith, and purify their Hearts by so doing? |
A93044 | But suppose I had been at a loss, can the Reader think I would have told them so, and ask''d their Advice what to do? |
A93044 | But what can they mean, but that God did account the Infants Believers for their Parents Faith? |
A93044 | But what if this that they say should obtain, that all things pertaining to an Ordinance need not be expressed in the Institution? |
A93044 | But what may not Uncharitableness and Ill- will do, when such Men are resolved to pervert the words of him they contend with? |
A93044 | But where is the good Consequence to prove from hence Infant- Baptism? |
A93044 | But why is this done? |
A93044 | But why must this be done, and marked with an Asterisk? |
A93044 | But why must this be put in here? |
A93044 | But why must you prevent Mr. Chandler? |
A93044 | But why should I think it strange for them to belie me, when Mr. Leigh hath been so bold to belie the Lord Jesus? |
A93044 | Can Christ fail in his Undertaking? |
A93044 | Can Infants make a Resignation of themselves to Christ to be taught by him, and saved by him, and ruled and governed by him? |
A93044 | Can not God make the Soul in those little weak Organs act as gloriously as in the Organs of a Giant? |
A93044 | Can they think that will credit their Cause, or make them look greater? |
A93044 | Can you put them( whilst Infants) into the Covenant of Grace, and turn them out again( when they come to be Adult) as you think fit? |
A93044 | Children are as capable now of Baptism, as they were formerly of Circumcision; and why then should they be denied? |
A93044 | Consider, a little delay in this matter hath met with a Reprehension; Why tarriest thou? |
A93044 | Could they not much easier have overturned their Arguments without so many Reflections? |
A93044 | Dare they tell the World such stuff to bolster up a tottering Opinion? |
A93044 | Did the Baptism of the Female come in the room of Circumcision, when Circumcision had never any place with the Female? |
A93044 | Did they draw back the Chariot, that they might come unto it a second time, and not go down into it at all? |
A93044 | Did they speak to Infants? |
A93044 | Do these look like Believers, that have neither Eyes to see, nor Hearts to consider? |
A93044 | Do they think that Peter said this from Revelation? |
A93044 | Do you believe that all the Infants that you baptize shall be saved? |
A93044 | Do you know Jesus Christ? |
A93044 | Do you know him in his Offices, Prophet, Priest and King? |
A93044 | Doth this agree with that Charity you speak of( to those you call mistaken Brethren) in the beginning of your Book? |
A93044 | Doth this also agree with Mr. Chandler''s short Request, p. 2. that God would grant that Truth may prevail? |
A93044 | Dr. Russel, What do you talk of a Trick? |
A93044 | Except they wash( i. e. baptize) they eat not: Were they dipped over head and ears when they did eat? |
A93044 | Fifthly, What by these words, In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost? |
A93044 | For do n''t you know, when brought to the Test, your Party could not be kept within bounds? |
A93044 | Fourthly, What are we to understand by this word Them? |
A93044 | Further, how do these their Reflections aforementioned, and the Introduction to their Narrative agree together? |
A93044 | Gentlemen, will you thus adventure to charge the Governor and Mayor with Promise- breaking? |
A93044 | Had they not a fit opportunity to produce a Scripture- instance if they had been able? |
A93044 | Have you that Gift by which you understand the Mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven? |
A93044 | He doth also misrepresent my words in telling the World I said, How do you mean prove,& c? |
A93044 | Here I warrant it is probable there were Children: But is it not as probable that there were none? |
A93044 | Here they sham a Forgery upon me, bringing me in saying, Well, what must I do? |
A93044 | Hereupon Mr. Robinson rudely said, What, Sir, the New Testament in Genesis? |
A93044 | How are these visibly then the Children of God? |
A93044 | How comes Infant- sprinkling to be appropriated( by you) to the Reformed Churches? |
A93044 | How comes it to pass that the Apostles Peter, James, John and Jude, who wrote such excellent Epistles, should not say one word about it? |
A93044 | How could 〈 ◊ 〉 ● e otherwise, if the same Blessings had been put into this Covenant, as are put into the new Covenant? |
A93044 | How frivolous is this? |
A93044 | How is baptizing Infants a resigning them to God? |
A93044 | How shall we that are dead to Sin, live any longer therein? |
A93044 | How then can they be fit to teach others their Duty concerning it? |
A93044 | How then have you the confidence to tell these Honorable Persons, and the whole World, it is the common Cause of the Reformed Churches? |
A93044 | How will these Gentlemen define an Infant? |
A93044 | I answer, If the order of words signify nothing in the Commission as they feign, Why do they not baptize the Adult first, and teach them afterwards? |
A93044 | I ask now those reverend Gentlemen, the Authors of this Dialogue, whether those that heard the word from his mouth were Infants? |
A93044 | I ask''d you whether you did own them Church- Members de facto? |
A93044 | I ask, had they visibly a right to th ● Blessings of the Covenant? |
A93044 | I ask, when they washed, whether they did only sprinkle a little water, or pour a large quantity that did overwhelm them? |
A93044 | I asked him then, how it was in the Hebrew in that place? |
A93044 | I can not but wonder( Gentlemen) that you should thus proceed in this manner, what can it be that thus moves you to speak against the Doctor? |
A93044 | I demand here, whether it is impossible for God to bring an Infant to Glory? |
A93044 | I deny that the word Baptize signifies to dip, in any place of Scripture? |
A93044 | I wonder they omitted their celebrated Distinction of compleat and incompleat Disciples: What can that do nothing now, that did so much before? |
A93044 | If Christ hath undertaken the Tutorage of all such, whence is it all such do not learn of him? |
A93044 | If I suppose the former, what advantage will they get? |
A93044 | If the Question then be, What must those do to whom the Promise is? |
A93044 | If the coldness of the Climate be such that it will not admit of dipping, why do you do any thing in the room thereof? |
A93044 | If they could not be made Disciples by the Ministry of Men, yet this Text would not exclude them from Baptism; but with what reason do they do this? |
A93044 | If this be granted, where shall the ● lame be laid? |
A93044 | In like manner, if you ask these Presbyters, Whether Jesus Christ gave Commission to his Ministers to baptize Believers? |
A93044 | In that he calls them a Generation of Vipers; who can think that he would have branded them with so black a Mark, and afterwards baptize them? |
A93044 | Is it said, all the Children of Israel passed by Faith? |
A93044 | Is not Deputy- Governor as honourable a Title as Lieutenant? |
A93044 | Is not this alone a great Argument against your Practice? |
A93044 | Is not this great partiality? |
A93044 | Is there any mention of the Imputation of the Parents Faith to their Children? |
A93044 | Is there any room to form an Argument here, if it were granted that they came one in the room of another? |
A93044 | Is there so much as a probability for such a thing, or any good Consequences? |
A93044 | Is this agreable to their Title, An Impartial Account? |
A93044 | Is this all the Respect and Honour they can afford to give them? |
A93044 | Is this indefinite Proposition equal to an universal? |
A93044 | Is this the way to early Piety? |
A93044 | Is this their Charity and Good- will towards us? |
A93044 | Is this your Impartial Account? |
A93044 | Is this your Impartial Narrative? |
A93044 | It may be you will say, you do but suppose it; or, why may it not be so? |
A93044 | John baptized them in the River of Jordan; how could that be, unless they went down into the River? |
A93044 | Know you not, that as many of us as were baptized into Christ, were baptized into his Death? |
A93044 | Let these Gentlemen prove when they write next, that there is an Indulgence given to Infants in respect of their receiving Baptism if they can? |
A93044 | May not I with as much Justice charge the Abstract of your Account upon you? |
A93044 | May we not say by all Infants, they are no more included than where''t is said, Go preach the Gospel to every Creature, Stones and Trees are included? |
A93044 | Mr. Chandler, who was it that trifled with incompleat Disciples, you or we? |
A93044 | Nay, should you understand thus, that the Church redeemed by Christ hath some such as these, what is this to Baptism? |
A93044 | Now I would have you, Readers, to consider, Is not this a very easy way of refuting to condemn all, when they are not able to answer one of them? |
A93044 | Now can it be supposed, that a Person hated of God had an Interest in the Promise? |
A93044 | Or, is there any else hath done it? |
A93044 | Or, is there any necessity of such an Inference? |
A93044 | Pray, Sirs, when did you ever read or hear of a true Lie, that you tell the World this is a false Lie? |
A93044 | Pray, wherein doth the holy Spirit in this place teach us that the Beasts of the Field may be our Masters? |
A93044 | Secondly, Do the Parents dedicate their Children to be taught while Infants, when they desire you to baptize them? |
A93044 | Seeing the Cup was not mentioned in the Institution for the Passover, how did these Gentlemen know that it was used as part of that Ordinance? |
A93044 | Sirs, I desire you seriously to consider, what you have said herein against your own Practice: Is it not a part of Divine Worship? |
A93044 | The Acts of the Apostles make no mention of it when they set down in writing so many thousands of Men and Women that were baptized? |
A93044 | The Dispute here is, Whether by Kingdom of Heaven, be meant the Church, or Kingdom of Glory? |
A93044 | The Scripture doth not tell us that any Christian Parent did ever offer his Infant Seed to Baptism; how should it then tell us such were denied it? |
A93044 | The vilest Wretches that are, and the blackest Heathens in the World are part of a Nation; will you baptize such? |
A93044 | Then said he to those tha ● came out to be baptized of him, O Generation of Vipers, w ● hath warned you to flee from the Wrath to come? |
A93044 | There went up also a mixt Multitude, had they all the Faith of Miracles, and was their Faith imputed to their Infants? |
A93044 | Thirdly, What are we to understand by this word teaching? |
A93044 | Upon which Mr. Leigh answered, What do you tell us of the Fathers? |
A93044 | WE being enquiring, Why they should deny our Practice, and yet practise it themselves? |
A93044 | Wallen, whom you produce as Witnesses in your Book: And if so, how can these be the principal Gentlemen present? |
A93044 | Was Baptism an Ordinance appointed for a Viperous Brood? |
A93044 | Well Gentlemen, what are the Infants of the called Jews or Gentiles stript of? |
A93044 | Well then, how do these Gentlemen know whether in Heaven there be such little Creatures as Infants? |
A93044 | Were not these Believers? |
A93044 | Were these Mens Eyes in their heads, that bring Scripture to confute themselves? |
A93044 | What Fools were the Jews to say, We are Moses''s Disciples? |
A93044 | What Scripture or Reason for this? |
A93044 | What Stuff is this? |
A93044 | What advantage have your Children by their Baptism, as you call it, and feigned Church- membership, above ours? |
A93044 | What can be more contrary? |
A93044 | What can be the reason why those holy Men should not make some mention of it in the many Books they have purposely written for our Instruction? |
A93044 | What difference is there between an unbelieving Jew, and an unbelieving Gentile, that the one must be accounted a Church- member, and not the other? |
A93044 | What does this import but that they had learned the Doctrine of Moses, and that they would not learn of Christ? |
A93044 | What is this to the Baptism of Infants? |
A93044 | What may the Reader expect to find in the whole body of it, if there be so many Faults in the very Entrance? |
A93044 | What must the Reader conclude from hence? |
A93044 | What reason had Mr. Leigh to allow the Eunuch to be a Christian, and consider him as such, altho( as he faith) he was but a Proselyte of the Gate? |
A93044 | What then? |
A93044 | What, are they all so ignorant of the holy Scriptures, that not one of them can tell what is written in the New Testament about holy Baptism? |
A93044 | What, do these Men think no body understand Greek but themselves? |
A93044 | What, from the Commission? |
A93044 | Where did God ever declare that Baptism should be administred in the room of Circumcision? |
A93044 | Where is your Authority for that? |
A93044 | Where shall we find on whom the Duty of Infant- Baptism is incumbent, if there be any such thing? |
A93044 | Where were these Mens Wits when they made this Observation? |
A93044 | Wherein lies the Contradiction? |
A93044 | Whether he might not have spared all his Dutch? |
A93044 | Whether the Ordinance of Baptism, as appointed by Christ, is to be administred by dipping, plunging( or) overwhelming only, and not otherways? |
A93044 | Whether, according to the Commission of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Adult Believers are only the proper Subjects of Baptism, and not Infants? |
A93044 | Who denies these things? |
A93044 | Who gave Mr. Ridge''s matter a full account, you or we? |
A93044 | Who was it that trifled about the Mother of our Lord being a Believer, you or we? |
A93044 | Whose Faith then was imputed to them? |
A93044 | Why did Christ send them? |
A93044 | Why did not our Lord command it if he intended it should be practised? |
A93044 | Why did not the Apostles set it down in their Writings? |
A93044 | Why did the four Evangelists conceal it? |
A93044 | Why do ye not plead for the Supper for your Children in the room of the Passover, as well as for Baptism in the room of Circumcision? |
A93044 | Why tempt ye God to lay a Yoke on the neck of the Disciples? |
A93044 | Why tempt ye God to lay a yoke upon the Neck of the Disciples, which neither we nor our Fathers were ever able to bear? |
A93044 | Will these Gentlemen affirm that bodily Strength is one of the Blessings of Heaven? |
A93044 | Will these Gentlemen then baptize promiscuously all Adult Persons not before baptized( as they phrase it) because they are capable? |
A93044 | Would all the Water in Jordan have washed it off again? |
A93044 | Would it be sufficient to interest them and their Children in the Covenant of Grace? |
A93044 | Would not the Proposition be true if only a thousand of them were Believers? |
A93044 | Would such a Faith serve the turn? |
A93044 | You hope, but are not sure; Hope that is seen is not Hope; for what a Man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? |
A93044 | and so for other places, as of Tables, Beds, is it likely it was done by sprinkling a few drops of water on some part of them? |
A93044 | and where is this teaching restrained to the Children of Believers? |
A93044 | did Infants hear the word of the Gospel and believe? |
A93044 | do these Gentlemen believe really that to be the sense of the place? |
A93044 | do we say any real good is taken from them? |
A93044 | had they for many hundred years enjoy''d Church- Privileges? |
A93044 | if it would, why will not the like dogma ● ical Faith serve now? |
A93044 | is it not that Holy Ordinance of Baptism as instituted by Christ, that is the matter( in general) of our Disputation? |
A93044 | or can the Baptism of the Female be argued from the Circumcision of the Male? |
A93044 | or do you undertake to teach them while Infants, or do you ever look after them, indeavouring to teach them? |
A93044 | shall we say that we are losers by the coming of Christ in respect of outward Privileges, because we have nothing in the room of these Feasts? |
A93044 | those of the Gentiles also? |
A93044 | will they tell us it is a Creature rational, but not capable of using Reason? |
A47535 | ''t is a positive Law, we must go to the Pleasure, and Will, and Design of the Law- maker: what may not Men infer after this sort? |
A47535 | ( instead of saying, Who can forbid Water?) |
A47535 | ( when they asked what they should do?) |
A47535 | 17. and that he thanked God he baptized no more of them than Crispus and Gaius, and the Houshold of Stephanus? |
A47535 | 2. or by preaching the Word of Christ? |
A47535 | 28. or act and do contrary thereto, who requires all Disciples to be baptized? |
A47535 | 32, 34. these two Verses being a Key to the 33d Verse,( saith he) and this Houshold a Key to all the other? |
A47535 | And are not Males and Femals all o ● ● in Christ Jesus? |
A47535 | And are there not many very learned Men who are against baptizing them? |
A47535 | And do you not think that many of the Females of Abraham''s off- spring were in that Covenant of Grace? |
A47535 | And doth not these things hinder that glorious Reformation we all long for, and encourage Papists? |
A47535 | And that Baptism is absolutely necessary to Church- Communion, or an initiating Ordinance? |
A47535 | And why should a Tradition of the Antichristian State, be so zealously defended? |
A47535 | And, were they not to teach the same Doctrine, and administer the same Ordinances alike where- ever they come? |
A47535 | Aquinas asserts, which is intailed upon all within the pale thereof? |
A47535 | Are Infants capable thus to covenant with God? |
A47535 | Are not Sureties in Baptism a meer human Invention? |
A47535 | Are not Women as well as Men, comprehended and meant in those places as well as Men, tho not expressed? |
A47535 | Are they not both expresly given forth and joined together by our Saviour in this his last and great Commission? |
A47535 | As if he had said, if there be no Resurrection, Why are we baptized? |
A47535 | Ay, this is good News indeed, they might say; But what will become of our Children, our Off- spring? |
A47535 | BVT what harm is there in Baptizing of Children? |
A47535 | Besides, are Bells forbidden to be baptized? |
A47535 | Besides, doth not our Saviour plainly intimate, that John''s Baptism was directly from Heaven, and not of Men? |
A47535 | Besides, were not the Pharisees and Lawyers learned Men, who rejected the Counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized? |
A47535 | But all this while, who has required any thing of this at our Hands? |
A47535 | But are they uncapable because there is no word of Institution, nothing from the Mouth of Christ or his Apostles, to justifie such a Practice? |
A47535 | But do you not acknowledg Baptism to signify our being washed in the Blood of Christ? |
A47535 | But does not Baptism come in the room of Circumcision, the one being a Figure of the other? |
A47535 | But doth not Christ say, that the Doctrine he taught, he received from the Father who sent him? |
A47535 | But had not John an express Commission to baptize? |
A47535 | But how dare any presume to Rantize a Babe that is uncapable to be taught or made a Disciple by teaching? |
A47535 | But how does it appear that Infants are Believers in any sense? |
A47535 | But since the practice of Baptism in Water was lost in the Apostacy, how could it be restored again without a new Mission? |
A47535 | But whereas you say, Baptism was always done by dipping the Body all over in Water, how can that be, since some were baptized in Houses? |
A47535 | But why are they not? |
A47535 | But why may ● ot Infants be baptized now as well as Children were circumcised heretofore? |
A47535 | But why must the whole Body be dipp''d? |
A47535 | But yet this Baptism however was by a pouring forth of the Spirit, and why may not Baptism be administred so? |
A47535 | But you lay too much stress upon Baptism? |
A47535 | But, Sirs, who- ever washes Hands, Cups, Pots, or Beds, by sprinkling a few Drops of VVater upon them? |
A47535 | Ca n''t God save poor Infants without they also do believe? |
A47535 | Ca n''t God save poor dying Infants, unless the same change by the Spirits Operations pass upon them? |
A47535 | Can any Man forbid Water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? |
A47535 | Can any Man forbid Water, that these should not be baptized? |
A47535 | Can any believe God would command any such thing to be done, that should endanger the Life of a Child? |
A47535 | Can they answer a good Conscience, by believing the Resurrection of Christ? |
A47535 | Can they covenant with God? |
A47535 | Come put it to your Consciences; Can you suppose any should be baptized by virtue of the words of Christ in the Commission, but Disciples only? |
A47535 | Could the Apostle in plainer words have detected the Error of these Men, if he had met with them in his day? |
A47535 | Did God forbid Abraham to circumcise his Female Children, or forbid him to circumcise his Male Children on the ninth day? |
A47535 | Did Moses deal thus with the Children of Israel? |
A47535 | Did any Man assert till now the Baptism of Christ to be a Legal Rite, or rather that it sprung from Human Tradition? |
A47535 | Did the Apostle intend hereby, do you think, to press them all to die to Sin, and live to God? |
A47535 | Did the whole Church of the Romans reckon themselves, think you, to be dead to Sin, and bound to live no longer therein? |
A47535 | Do not secret things belong to him, what Vanity is there in the minds of some Men? |
A47535 | Does not this Argument make void the Baptism of Infants, as well as Adult Unbelievers, by the Ancients? |
A47535 | Doth he baptize? |
A47535 | Doth it follow that we must Baptize so now? |
A47535 | Doth not our Blessed Saviour''s Words immediately following fully answer this Objection, and, lo I am with you always to the end of the World? |
A47535 | Doth not the Apostle shew that Men had Power to give the Spirit? |
A47535 | Fifthly, Doth Baptism confer Grace or regenerate the Child? |
A47535 | For was that Rubbish gone, what a glorious Harmony would follow, even such a Day as would make all our Souls rejoyce? |
A47535 | Grant she had Children, how unlikely a matter is it, saith he, that she should carry them about with her, trading so many miles distant? |
A47535 | Has God ordained Baptism to be an Ordinance to save the Souls of any Persons, either the Adult or Infants? |
A47535 | Has not Christ Power to preserve, protect, and uphold all such Persons which he commands to be Baptized? |
A47535 | Has the Holy Trinity given you any Authority so to do? |
A47535 | Hath Christ any where required it? |
A47535 | Hath Christ, I say, or his Apostles, as you read, forbid these things, and many more of like nature? |
A47535 | Have they a justifying Faith, as Mr. Baxter intimates? |
A47535 | Have you a Dispensation to make the Commandments of God void by your Traditions? |
A47535 | How can Water, a material thing, work upon the Soul in a Physical manner? |
A47535 | How can Water, an external thing, work upon the Soul in a physical manner? |
A47535 | How dare you deny a Man admittance into the Church, who is truly Godly, and hath a lively Faith? |
A47535 | How dares any Man, who fears God, attempt to do any thing contrary to the Holy Pattern left in Christ''s New Testament? |
A47535 | How little is the Institution or Practice of the Primitive Christians minded amongst many good Men? |
A47535 | How often must we tell you that Baptism wholly depends, as to Subject, Time, End, and manner of Administration, on the words of Institution? |
A47535 | How palpable is it that Godly Men have wicked Children now adays as well as in former times? |
A47535 | How then can you justify your selves in such a Practice? |
A47535 | I am, saith Christ, to be baptized with Blood, overwhelmed with Sufferings and Afflictions; are you able so to be? |
A47535 | I have heard some say, Is it my where forbid? |
A47535 | I wonder what Faith''t is you suppose to be in Infants? |
A47535 | If God should have sent a Saint from the Dead, to let us know what we should do, would we not give all diligent heed to him? |
A47535 | If he hath a right to Christ, who is signified in the Lord''s Supper, may be be denied the Sign, because he is not baptized? |
A47535 | If you ca n''t prove this, what signifies all you say? |
A47535 | In the Name of the Glorious Trinity, can they say and prove it, Christ hath given them any such Authority? |
A47535 | In the Rubrick, What is required of Persons that are to be baptized? |
A47535 | Is it necessary you should alter any of his Holy Laws, and make void one of the great Sacraments of the New Testament by your Traditions? |
A47535 | Is it not a false thing to say, Persons may believe and be saved by the Faith of others? |
A47535 | Is it not a foolish thing and a Lye, to say, Children have Faith, and are Disciples, who are not capable of Understanding? |
A47535 | Is it not a foolish thing to cry out against Traditions, and all Inventions of Men, and yet strive to uphold and maintain them? |
A47535 | Is it not a weak thing, to open a Door into the Church, which Christ hath shut up? |
A47535 | Is it not an evil and false thing to say, Persons may have Grace and Regeneration before they know God, or are called by his Word and holy Spirit? |
A47535 | Is it not an evil and harmful thing, and a great error to say, Baptism takes away Original Sin? |
A47535 | Is it not an hurtful and evil thing, to defile and p ● lute the Church, by bringing in the Fleshy Seed which Christ hath cast out? |
A47535 | Is it not necessary for you to do what Christ hath commanded, and when at no time there is any danger of the Lives of Persons? |
A47535 | Is it not strange that you should say, That none but the Children of Believers ought to be Baptized? |
A47535 | Is not God a free Agent? |
A47535 | Is not Truth and Righteousness to be joyned with Peace and Love? |
A47535 | Is not Woman as well as Man intended there? |
A47535 | Is not this a meer trifling Vanity, and nought but a piece of Foolery and Deceit, to darken Counsel with words without Knowledg? |
A47535 | Is this good Divinity with Mr. Smythies? |
A47535 | Is this the way to that longed- for Reformation? |
A47535 | It was not too low for him, and is it too low for thee? |
A47535 | May I not argue thus; If Teaching continues to the end of the World, Baptism continues? |
A47535 | Moreover, what express word against Infants receiving the Sacraments? |
A47535 | Must Christ forbid Infant- Baptism? |
A47535 | Must he needs baptize them because he took them up in his Arms? |
A47535 | Nay, can we think Christ would institute an Ordinance to destroy the Lives of any Persons? |
A47535 | Nay, worse, a Tradition of Men? |
A47535 | Now do you see that all the Children of Believers have the Grace of God bestowed upon them, so that they are new Creatures? |
A47535 | Now the Question is, What we are to understand to be meant by the Baptism of the Holy Ghost? |
A47535 | Now, are Children capable to do any of this? |
A47535 | Or is it an Imputitive Faith from the Parents in Covenant, as Musculus and others maintain? |
A47535 | Or, did God forbid Nadab and Abihu to offer strange Fire, who were destroyed for doing it? |
A47535 | Or, did he tell them they should Baptize those in hot Countries that were Disciples, and Rantize such who received the Word in cold Countries? |
A47535 | Or, is it the Faith of the Gossip or Surety, as many of your Church say, i. e. others believe for them? |
A47535 | Or, is not that they call Baptism, in your Consciences a Nullity? |
A47535 | Or, were they in it, and are they now fallen out of it? |
A47535 | Ordinances or Sacraments of Christ? |
A47535 | Ought you not to make God''s VVord your Rule? |
A47535 | Secondly, But why do you say Children must be Believers, or else they ca n''t be saved? |
A47535 | Secondly, We ask, whether God hath left it in the Power of the Parent to save or destroy the Soul of his Child, which your Doctrine doth import? |
A47535 | Sir, I will appeal to you, is not this Inference as good and as justifiable as yours? |
A47535 | Sirs, How dare you, In the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, say, I Baptize thee,& c. when you do but Rantize the Person? |
A47535 | Sirs, wherefore do you judg it reasonable, and not necessary? |
A47535 | Sometimes there has been some such like Action done I must confess: But does not the Prince actually consent so to be married? |
A47535 | Speak, are they Baptized? |
A47535 | The Minor is easily proved: Can any thing reflect more upon the Honour of Christ,& c. than this? |
A47535 | Thirdly, We demand what hopes are intended, and by what Scriptures the same are annexed to the Administration of an Ordinance in Infancy? |
A47535 | This savours of horrible Pride: Shall Man prescribe unto God ways how he shall be worshipped? |
A47535 | To contemn this Order,( saith he) is to contemn all Rules of Order: for where can we expect to find it, if not here? |
A47535 | To which I answer, where are such things as Crossings, Salt, Spittle, and Sureties,& c. forbid? |
A47535 | VVere they not to go into cold Countries as well as Hot? |
A47535 | Was not Lot a Godly Man, and in the same Covenant of Grace? |
A47535 | Was not that Church set up to be a Patern, or perfect Copy, after which all succeeding Churches were to write? |
A47535 | Well, what tho? |
A47535 | Well, what though that be so? |
A47535 | Were any ever baptized with the Holy Spirit in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost? |
A47535 | Were not Women Disciples, and commanded to be made discipline by the preaching of the Gospel in the Commission, as well as Men? |
A47535 | Were not Women Members of the Chur ● ● ▪ and does not the Holy Supper belong to all ● ● ● ● lar Members thereof? |
A47535 | Were not Women as well as Men( who believed) Baptized? |
A47535 | Were these little Children be ye sure the Children of Believers? |
A47535 | What Confusion is here among the Pedo- Baptists? |
A47535 | What Ordinance hath he ordained to signify the sprinkling of the Blood of Christ? |
A47535 | What a Covenant then do you make that sure and everlasting Covenant of Grace to be? |
A47535 | What abundance of Betrayers of the Truth and Church too have we in these days? |
A47535 | What is this but to intail Grace to Nature, and Regeneration to Generation? |
A47535 | What resemblance of the Burial and Resurrection of Christ is in Sprinkling? |
A47535 | What was that? |
A47535 | What will they answer him when he visiteth them? |
A47535 | What will they say when God rises up? |
A47535 | When shall we see the like proof for Babes Baptism? |
A47535 | Who can justifie you in this Practice? |
A47535 | Who can require Water, that these Persons should be Baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we? |
A47535 | Who now can conclude rationally, that any Children were in any of these Housholds? |
A47535 | Who tells them so? |
A47535 | Why do you not believe the Apostle who tells you the quite contrary, and that he said not of Seeds as of many, but to thy Seed, which is Christ? |
A47535 | Why may not that Text be a Proof that Bells in Churches should be baptized, and so made holy likewise? |
A47535 | Why may they not deny Preaching to continue, as well as Baptizing, since Teaching is commanded by no other Authority than this? |
A47535 | Yet are not you contented to lie short in doing this according to the Sentiments of your Minds and Understandings? |
A47535 | You may as well ask, why Nadab and Abihu might not have offered strange Fire, or why might not the Priest? |
A47535 | You will object, May be that Bells are not ● it nor capable Subjects of such an Ordinance? |
A47535 | and because he blessed them, must he receive them into his Church? |
A47535 | and have not our Brethren cast it away as such? |
A47535 | and might he therefore do these things — because God did no where tell him he should not do so? |
A47535 | and to make the Church National, which ought to be Congregational? |
A47535 | and where is the Spirit of Reformation? |
A47535 | and yet they were not, from that Ground, to be circumcised, nor were they at all circumcised, because God did not command them so to be? |
A47535 | as if John should say, that is a sign he is sent of God: and do all Men come to him? |
A47535 | believing Men and Women; is it not necessary for you to do Christ''s Work, as Christ has required? |
A47535 | can it do the Child any hurt? |
A47535 | can we think that others ever attained to the like, much less to greater Light and Knowledg than they? |
A47535 | do they rather go to him to be baptized than come to me? |
A47535 | doth he say they ought, or that it belongs to them? |
A47535 | has God told you he can not, or will not save them except they believe? |
A47535 | hath Christ said indeed, ye shall not baptize Bells? |
A47535 | in token of such a Communion with the Power of his Death, as to kill Sin, and crucifie the old Man, so that henceforth we should not serve Sin? |
A47535 | is it not an innocent thing? |
A47535 | is it therefore lawful to baptize them? |
A47535 | is that requisite, or would it make the Estate the more firm or sure to him? |
A47535 | is the Opus operatum of Baptism, think you, a likely way or means to beget or bring forth Children to Christ, or make Disciples of them? |
A47535 | is there any Argument or Scripture brought by this Man to prove them so to be? |
A47535 | may he not do what he pleases, and magnifie his Grace to poor dying Infants, through the Blood of his Son, in other ways than we know of? |
A47535 | may not the Head be sufficient, that being the principal Part? |
A47535 | might there not be a Pond, or some River near? |
A47535 | must he declare in plain words they ought not to be baptized, or else may they, ought they to be baptized? |
A47535 | nay, a prophanation of the Sacrament of Baptism? |
A47535 | or a dogmatical Faith only, as in Mr. Blake''s Sense? |
A47535 | or can Baptism appear to be a Symbol of it to them? |
A47535 | or those extraordinary Gifts or miraculous Effusions of the Holy Ghost only, which many received in the Primitive Times? |
A47535 | such and such good Men and able Ministers did say this was a Truth and my Duty? |
A47535 | that ye shall not go on Pilgrimages, nor pray for the Dead? |
A47535 | therefore we are buried with him in Baptism into Death,& c. Else what shall they do that are baptized for the Dead, if the Dead rise not at all? |
A47535 | to assert a thing that no Man has any ground to believe, nor ca n''t, without offering violence to his Reason? |
A47535 | together with Melchisedec and others I might mention? |
A47535 | what else is the meaning of these words, he therefore that ministreth to you the Spirit? |
A47535 | wherein are they uncapable? |
A47535 | whether the sanctifying Gifts and Graces of the Spirit are intended hereby, which all the Godly receive? |
A47535 | which being so ▪ how uncertain is your Inference? |
A47535 | who made you one of his Privy- Council? |
A47535 | who say''t is an Invention of Men and no Ordinance of Jesus Christ? |
A47535 | who told you so? |
A47535 | — How can outward Water, saith Mr. Charnock, convey inward- Life? |
A47535 | ● ut why will not our Brethren keep to the great Insti ● ution, and exact Rule of the Primitive Church? |
A89563 | ( saith Paul) what were you then baptized into? |
A89563 | 16. but doth it prove that his Baptisme and Prayer was all one? |
A89563 | 6, 7, 8. and all experience proves the contrary; is not this as much against the one as the other? |
A89563 | 8. where the Greeke word comprehends both sexes, but doth that Greeke word, where ever it is used, signifie both sexes? |
A89563 | 9. as such who hold forth to us the soveraigntie of God in election and reprobation? |
A89563 | Afterwards Augustine put off his own Baptism till he was about 30 years, and upward, and what marvaile? |
A89563 | Alasse Sir, why doe you run into this needlesse and erroneous digression? |
A89563 | And further I pray you tell mee, was not all done among them as much by the free election of grace, as among us? |
A89563 | And what saith Augustine of that Epistle? |
A89563 | And what''s the reason of his delay? |
A89563 | And why so I pray? |
A89563 | As for your fourth, were not the Infants of the Jews devoted to God by Circumcision, though they could not actually devote themselves? |
A89563 | As to the thing it selfe, I answer, was not Circumcision Gods signe and seale? |
A89563 | Bernardus non vidit omnia: why may not some things in the vast monuments of Antiquity passe unseene by you? |
A89563 | But Sir is there not in the Text, all that are afarre off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call; and doth not that reach to all ages? |
A89563 | But Sir, did not you formerly grant, that upon the proving of my two first Conclusions the whole cause depended? |
A89563 | But Sir, what need all these things? |
A89563 | But Sir, why doe you call it a little relish? |
A89563 | But Sir, why doe you judge my heart to intend amisse, in using an expression which your self can not mislike? |
A89563 | But did all the Fathers fore- mentioned judge and practise so? |
A89563 | But if we Gentiles have it not, then are not wee I pray you, straitned in that particular? |
A89563 | But is this an expresse prohibition of it? |
A89563 | But what is your Argument from hence, Augustine held it fit to give Infants the Lords Supper, Ergo, What? |
A89563 | But what poore exceptions are these? |
A89563 | But what''s this to the question before us? |
A89563 | But whereas you adde, And why also should not the Lords Supper succeed Circumcision as well as Baptisme? |
A89563 | Did God ever say that if you will performe these and these conditions, then I will regenerate you, give you a new heart, and put my spirit within you? |
A89563 | Doe not Tertullian, Cyprian,& c. argue from Circumcision unto Baptisme as wee now doe, and others of them from Covenant- holinesse? |
A89563 | Doe you not thinke your Reader would smile at the vanity of these questions? |
A89563 | Doth not this plainly hold forth, that if they were re- baptized, it was because Paul thought their former baptism to be insufficient? |
A89563 | Epiphanius you say, sayes nothing of it in a place, which you cite: and are you sure he sayes nothing any where else? |
A89563 | Ergo, the Lords Supper is a humane invention? |
A89563 | First, if it had been known among them; you wonder why I finde nothing for it in Eusebius, Ignatius, Clemens Alexandrinus, Athanasius, and Epiphanius? |
A89563 | Fourthly, what is the sense of these words, Circumcision confirmed the yoake of the Law? |
A89563 | Have not multitudes of ours swallowed down all Arminianism, as well as they? |
A89563 | How doe you prove that Arminius meanes the words which you cite, of Jewish Proselytes? |
A89563 | How faine would you say somewhat which might reproach this Argument? |
A89563 | I answer, this I wonder at, where is Circumcision compared to buriall, and wherein I pray you lyes the analogie between them? |
A89563 | I know you will owne that expression of Augustine, Qnid agit liberum arbitrium? |
A89563 | I reply, who ever said that this administration is the same with theirs? |
A89563 | If Fidus did Judaize in both these, or either of them, what''s that to mee, who say he denyed not Baptisme to bee administred to Infants? |
A89563 | If Mr. Tombes say that it is better to term them seed by calling, then seed by profession; if it bee but an outward call, where lyes the difference? |
A89563 | If they were, how doth this distinction help you? |
A89563 | Infants as well as growne men? |
A89563 | Is not here then good consequence, that therefore they are to have the Seale administred to them? |
A89563 | Martyr did not beare witnesse to the divine Nature of Christ, because hee lived before Arius started up? |
A89563 | Now I demand of you, do not all these Authors call Baptisme a new Birth, which you would fasten onely on Feuardentius? |
A89563 | Nulli filii carnis censentur in semine, saith Arminius; doth hee meane that no proselytes were the seed of Abraham according to the flesh? |
A89563 | Or is marriage a businesse more concerning Religion, then these are? |
A89563 | Paul demands of them, Have you received the holy Ghost since you were baptized? |
A89563 | Plead not some of ours for the mortality of the soule, as well as they? |
A89563 | Quid enim necesse est, si non cam necesse, sponsores etiam periculo ingeri? |
A89563 | Secondly, how prove you this which you say? |
A89563 | Secondly, what meane you when you say, all is done in the Church according to the f ● ● ● election of grace? |
A89563 | Shall I adde other Witnesses who lived in the same Century with him? |
A89563 | Sir, are you perswaded in your own conscience these things are so? |
A89563 | Sir, is this to joyne with Arminius in his interpretation of the ninth to the Romans? |
A89563 | Sir, was this the Covenant of works? |
A89563 | The holy Ghost: what meane you by the holy Ghost? |
A89563 | Thirdly, did circumcision confirme these things to all Abrahams naturall posteritie? |
A89563 | Thirdly, how do Vives and Strabo know what was done in the ages next the Apostles, when the eldest of them lived almost 800 years after that age? |
A89563 | What advantage then both the Jew, or what profit is there of Circumcision? |
A89563 | What did the Non- conformists ever endeavour to doe beyond prayers and teares? |
A89563 | What if you have not found it, will you therefore say it is not to be found in their writings? |
A89563 | What multiplicity of imaginary senses, and consequences of senses are here poured out on an heape? |
A89563 | What need you keepe such a coyle in asking whether beleevers had then no children? |
A89563 | What''s the washing of Regeneration but Baptisme? |
A89563 | Where is this distinction of yours found, or founded in the Word of God? |
A89563 | Yet I beseech you tell me, doth he not therein intimate that it was the custome of the Church in his age to baptize the one as well as the other? |
A89563 | You desire to know what Clemens Alexandrinus saith? |
A89563 | You say he was the sonne of a Christian Bishop, but how doe you prove it? |
A89563 | all which I now passe over: and are not all these Witnesses of the practise of the Church? |
A89563 | and did any Orthodox Divine before your self charge this to be Arminianism, to say that the Gospel runs upon conditions? |
A89563 | and if they bee unchaste, how doth this make them chaste? |
A89563 | and that the method of preaching to us Gentiles must bee fetch''d out of this place? |
A89563 | and that therefore the Baptizing of Infants doth not frustrate that end of initiating them to bee Disciples or Professors? |
A89563 | and was there no food among them all that time, but the Sacramentall food? |
A89563 | and when any of them had embraced the faith, why might they not be catechized, and so prepared for Baptisme, and when they were sound fit baptized? |
A89563 | could any of the ancients reasonably grant the one, and deny the other? |
A89563 | could the ● arest Chymick have extracted any more? |
A89563 | did ever any before you conceive so many and great evills to follow upon the baptizing the children of beleevers? |
A89563 | doe not many of ours conceit a perfection of grace? |
A89563 | doe they not cry downe our Ministry as no Ministry? |
A89563 | doe they not oppose the Christian Sabbath? |
A89563 | doth he not confine himselfe to answer cases betwixt beleevers, and their unbeleeving wives and husbands? |
A89563 | have not many of ours drunke in the conceits of immediate revelations and Enthysiasmes as much as they? |
A89563 | have not some of ours laid downe their Armes out of opinion that even in a just cause warre is unlawfull? |
A89563 | is it a Sacrament? |
A89563 | may I not also exact of you to shew when and where this was taken away? |
A89563 | must you not bee compelled to goe by a consequence to bring it in, which is all I contend for? |
A89563 | or doe both these cases require one and the same answer? |
A89563 | or how else, is it more holy then these other civill things? |
A89563 | or whether the Apostles had no commission? |
A89563 | or whether wee have a Commission if they had not? |
A89563 | our Churches as no Churches? |
A89563 | that such Monsters should be bred in the wombe of it, or conceive that the removing of this would bee the healing of all? |
A89563 | the conveyance and seal annexed to it, are no part of the purchased inheritance, but doe they not belong to it? |
A89563 | unlesse your Compassionate Samaritan bee Authentick with you? |
A89563 | was it by faith, or the profession of faith? |
A89563 | was it certain or probable? |
A89563 | was it not a seale of the righteousnesse of faith, of circumcision of heart,& c. doth not the seale belong to the thing sealed? |
A89563 | was it to be true at any time, that all who beleeve should receive the extraordinary gifts of the holy Ghost? |
A89563 | was the posteritie of Ismael and Esau to come out of Egypt; possesse Canaan, ● ee yoaked with the Law? |
A89563 | wee never so much as heard whether there be an holy Ghost: No? |
A89563 | were not children then admitted in by birth- right, and yet was not grace then as free as it is now? |
A89563 | were the uncleane and uncircumcised in their families to fast all that time? |
A89563 | were they all inwardly holy, or effectually called? |
A89563 | what Doctrine, or Faith were you instructed in before your baptisme? |
A89563 | what Scripture ever denyed it? |
A89563 | what evidence doe either of them produce out of Antiquitie to make their assertion good? |
A89563 | what priviledge or gaine is it to bee a visible professor, a visible member of the Jewish Church? |
A89563 | what strange kind of baptisme have you received? |
A89563 | what turbulent Sect was ever found among them? |
A89563 | what were those divisions and miscarriages which brought them so low? |
A89563 | why may I not have as good hopes of Heathens children, if Gods promise helpe not here? |
A89563 | yea doth not Ambrose call the Fon: Baptisterium regeneration is lavacrum, the lavacre of Regeneration? |
A58206 | * Corpus Christi naturale fuit verè sepultum; an putandum est nostra corpora eodom modo sepeliri in administratine baptismi? |
A58206 | 1,& c. what, would you have your disciples baptized with the sprie of two neighboring seas, and a cloud of fresh water raining on their heads? |
A58206 | 1. quis enim potest dare quod ipse n ● n habeat? |
A58206 | 10. who( of any sense) doth not understand that of those that can, and will not? |
A58206 | 14. pronounceth in the present) by a designation to the service of Jesus Christ, and the future participation of the promises? |
A58206 | 21. of what? |
A58206 | 3 20, 21. what, must the type and truth agree in all things? |
A58206 | 36: see here is water, what doth let me to be baptized? |
A58206 | 4 When the Apostle saith the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife; if any ask, what wife? |
A58206 | 5 If the matter must be put upon express words of Scripture, let our Antagonists shew us where they are expresly forbidden to baptize Infants? |
A58206 | A gallant flourish indeed: but seriously; Did Christ take them up in his arms, and bless them; and are they not blessed? |
A58206 | Again, Baptism is administred with the words of institution by Christ appointed; take away the Word, and what is the Water but ordinary water? |
A58206 | And I pray how could the Priest under the Law know the minds of children to be circum ● ● sed? |
A58206 | And again, who is eaten with the zeal of Gods house? |
A58206 | And if a quality, of what kind it is? |
A58206 | And what solidity is there on these conjectures, to conclude that Hieroms parents, though Christian, defer''d his baptism until he was 30 years old? |
A58206 | And where is then their answer of a good conscience toward God? |
A58206 | And who is so ready to cast this odious Livery upon others, as the most Antichristian? |
A58206 | And why can not God as well do his mercies to infants now immediatly, as he did before the institution either of circumcision or baptism? |
A58206 | And why is it more proportionable to an act of reason and humanity to defer childrens baptism, then in due time to baptize them? |
A58206 | But let us hear the rest of Tertullians advice; was it only concerning the deferring infants baptism? |
A58206 | But to what purpose do you propose any of these examples to your clients imitation? |
A58206 | But what follows? |
A58206 | But what if they never marry, must they never be baptized? |
A58206 | But what is crucifying again? |
A58206 | But what other battalio''s come next up? |
A58206 | But you demand, if it implies a duty on our part; how then can children receive it, who can not do duty at all? |
A58206 | But you say, Circumcision left a Character in the flesh, which being imprinted upon Infants, did it work upon them when they came to age?] |
A58206 | But you say, — The infant is not capable of believing, and if he were, he were also capable of dissenting; and how then do they know his mind?] |
A58206 | By demanding, quanta est major Propositio? |
A58206 | Can any be saved without such grace? |
A58206 | Can there be a sound conclusion from rotten premises? |
A58206 | Can you be assured that none of these who are baptized in infancy, and no otherwise, are regenerate and saved? |
A58206 | Could they if sent into Painim- Countreys with all the terms of your supposition, have been more disposed to an actual belief without a new Master? |
A58206 | Did their Baptizers profane Baptism? |
A58206 | Do any creatures under the degrees of man, bear the image of their Creator, in immortality, sanctity and light of understanding? |
A58206 | Do they say so when they speak of infant- baptism? |
A58206 | Do we then complain against God, when we complain of the Anabaptists abridging children of that which God hath allowed them? |
A58206 | Do you account obedience to God and his holy ordinances, to be a tempting of God? |
A58206 | Do you also call the truth thereof in question? |
A58206 | Do you mean by the Holy Ghost, the gifts and graces of Gods holy Spirit regenerating the elect to the Kingdome of Heaven? |
A58206 | Do you think there is no danger from infants original guilt which maks them stand in need of the laver of regeneration for the remission of their sin? |
A58206 | Doth God save any Infants? |
A58206 | Doth it follow therefore a man may make confession of Christ with his mouth to salvation, before he believeth in him in his heart? |
A58206 | Doth not Gods blessing give both end and means that we may be so? |
A58206 | Doth the Scripture, 21 ● saying all flesh dyed — every man — meane onely all of reason and age? |
A58206 | God created him- male and female created be them: both one flesh, and so but one — and wherefore one? |
A58206 | God hath appointed baptism to be a seal and token of our receiving and entrance into the Church; is it to no purpose to obey him in his Ordinances? |
A58206 | How can any meer man know whom to baptize, though of years, and whom to put by? |
A58206 | How doth that appear? |
A58206 | How invalid is the Moderators Agument, à non scripto, ad nonfactum? |
A58206 | How know you that John B. or the Apostles never baptized any Infants? |
A58206 | How many impertinences are here twisted up together? |
A58206 | How many ridiculous consequences would you thence inferre? |
A58206 | How much more rationally may he make covenant with infants, though yet without the actuall use of reason? |
A58206 | How often hath Satan in tempting to sin, misled the incaucious with this suggestion, there can be no danger in it,''t is the surer way? |
A58206 | How poor a spirited mother art thou, and of how little faith? |
A58206 | How then shal we be renewed after our falling into sin? |
A58206 | How vain and ma ● tious is this calumny of yours? |
A58206 | I appeal to your own conscience, may we as well conclude against Gods word, as for it? |
A58206 | I demand then, Do infants believe? |
A58206 | I demand, Doth God perform every one of his promises? |
A58206 | I demand, quojure, by what right is the Kingdom of Heaven theirs? |
A58206 | I wonder what they will be ashamed to say, who blush not at such assertions? |
A58206 | I would gladly be resolved, quanta est illa propositio? |
A58206 | If any ask, why it comes out so late to publike view? |
A58206 | If giving the Seal to those who can not be profited thereby, be profanation of the same, how often do you prophane the holy Seal? |
A58206 | If it be a ceremony only, how doth it sanctifie us, or make the comers thereunto perfect? |
A58206 | If it be a duty on our part to administer it ● how can children receive it, who can not do any duty at all? |
A58206 | If it be necessary to baptism that the baptizer know the mind of the person to be baptized, how can you baptize men of years? |
A58206 | If it implys a duty on our part, how then can children receive it, who can not do duty at all?] |
A58206 | If not, how maliciously is this objected against us, baptizing Infants of Believers, Christ himself expresly avowing them as subjects of his Kingdom? |
A58206 | If not, why inferre you them? |
A58206 | If this argument were good, how many men and women of age, must by the same reason be denyed baptism? |
A58206 | If you do not, why do you urge against us an authority which your self consenteth not unto? |
A58206 | If you mean the second, that is, that we less know the truth then the evidence; what blame you in our cause, or advantage your Clients? |
A58206 | If you say we see no evidence, nor can the blind see the Sun; what can you gain hereby? |
A58206 | If you will have none baptized before the works of the Spirit, before the operations of grace,& c. when and whom may you baptize? |
A58206 | If( you say) by the external work alone, how doth this differ from the opus operatum of Papists, save that it is worse? |
A58206 | In which it seemeth to us a very weak querie, And why can not God as well do his mercies to Infants now immediately? |
A58206 | Is not the Scripture evident? |
A58206 | Must this be by vertue of baptism by water onely, or the externall ministration thereof? |
A58206 | Nay but tell me, if you can, by all your reason, how could infants receive baptism except we did administer it? |
A58206 | No man rationally asketh, What need we two eyes who can see with one? |
A58206 | Onely this( you say) that God hath as great a care of Infants, as of others,& c.] Here is another argument as fe ● ble as the fore- going: What? |
A58206 | Or spake Christ onely concerning the carnall seed of Abraham, and not of the spirituall when he said, Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven? |
A58206 | Popery and Pelagianism twisted together? |
A58206 | Possibly Joash would here have replied to such a short Scheme of plea, — will ye plead for Baal? |

A58206 | Restore such a one — but how? |
A58206 | Scire autem? |
A58206 | Scripture beyond the Apostles scope and purpose, rather to that which seems to favour your fancy and practise of immersion, then to another sense? |
A58206 | Shall not they therefore that have the use of reason be baptized? |
A58206 | Since faith is necessary to the susception of baptism,& c.] True in adult is; what is this to our present question concerning infants? |
A58206 | So when the Prophet would recall the Jews from Polygamie to pure wedlock, he said, did not he( that is God the Creator) make one? |
A58206 | So, v. 1. the maimed or Eunuch shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord& c. what? |
A58206 | Speak you this as a matter doubtfull? |
A58206 | That is the act of understanding, faith and repentance? |
A58206 | That would be a rare invention indeed: but if to call Anabaptists Anabaptists, be just, why find you fault with it? |
A58206 | The old Academicks were wo nt to question the testimonie and evidence of their own senses with a quid si falleris? |
A58206 | This weakly follows from unsound premises; was there no word added to Circumcision? |
A58206 | This you will put upon necessary consequence, where you have no express word: And why shall we not have the like liberty for Infant- Baptism? |
A58206 | This( say you) is the greatest vanity in the world] What vanity? |
A58206 | To the Parents or to the children? |
A58206 | To what children was that promise made? |
A58206 | Was not the reason of the Covenant declared to Abraham? |
A58206 | Was that faith which the Apostle commended onely there, or then when Hierom wrote in all the Western Church? |
A58206 | Was there not a word of Institution? |
A58206 | We know the word( children) importeth not alwayes infants; what then? |
A58206 | Were it good Georgicks to say, Trouble not your self to fodder your cattle, or loose them from their stall that they may drink? |

A58206 | Why I write after so many, so much more able to defend the truth, might possibly put me to the Oratours quaere ● y What is left for me to do? |
A58206 | Why did you not rather say that this device was P. Lombards( who mentioneth the Imputative faith you speak of) or some of the following Schoolmen? |
A58206 | Why do ye deny them baptism? |
A58206 | Why might you not say the same also concerning circumcision? |
A58206 | Why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the DISCIPLES? |
A58206 | Why trouble you your self with our stir to do that which Christ commandeth us? |
A58206 | Would you have our fall in Adam, and repair in Christ run literally parallell, even to circumstances? |
A58206 | You say more, To whom is the commandement given? |
A58206 | and how can you who baptize discern this? |
A58206 | and why not now? |
A58206 | and why not so in believing and repenting, seeing that God requireth impossibilities neither in things temporal nor spiritual? |
A58206 | and why seek ye further, omitting the type of Circumcision? |
A58206 | are children in their nonage excluded from the blessing in Christ? |
A58206 | because God hath as great a care of them as of others, therefore we must have no care of them in the application of the ordinary means? |
A58206 | because it doth not in every place of Scripture signify infants, therefore doth it not any where, no not where infants are spoken of? |
A58206 | because those of years professed their faith, and confessed their sins? |
A58206 | but what evidence can there be in those things, whose authority can not be proved, and whose truth can not be infallible? |
A58206 | but you say, this pertains to children when they are capable, but made with them assoon as they are alive( that is in the mothers womb) what this? |
A58206 | can the holy Ghost be inactive, and without effectuall influence in any soul? |
A58206 | de necessitate medii, in respect of infants salvation, as if they could not be saved without it? |
A58206 | deale ingenuously then; do you affime that by whole, or all, the Scripture doth alwayes meane, persons of reason and age? |
A58206 | doe you affirme that by whole families, is ever meant all persons of age within the family, and such only? |
A58206 | doth the incapacity in respect of one command, conclude an incapacity of all? |
A58206 | hath a stone or tree any habitual faith, or reason, or any capacity of the holy Ghost, illumination, or sanctification? |
A58206 | how could infants receive circumcision, who could do as little duty as infants now can? |
A58206 | hum,& quid est aquae nisi aqua? |
A58206 | if evill or unjust, why consult you how to imitate it by way of revenge? |
A58206 | if of children, what can they, as such, perform? |
A58206 | is it not a shame to be such, as we are or may well be ashamed to be called? |
A58206 | is not this froathy- Rethorick? |
A58206 | is your meaning, Some of them that are capable of the same grace, are not alwaies capable of the signe thereof? |
A58206 | might he not be sealed or saved? |
A58206 | must all the world be drown''d, and only eight persons saved? |
A58206 | nay, but no man can be edified by that which is destructive; or in Enthusiasms and Revelations? |
A58206 | or a Boyish manner of contest, to call Whore, and all ill names, where they have not other power to prevail? |
A58206 | or because they have not faith, do you conclude them all damned who die in their infancy? |
A58206 | or deny it to any within the Church, needing Regeneration, that they may be saved? |
A58206 | or did he at first make any more then one husband and one wife? |
A58206 | or did not Tertullian know what he wrote? |
A58206 | or doe you not take a child of eight dayes old( when it was by Gods command and covenant to receive the seal) to be an infant? |
A58206 | or what wil it advantage you if it were true? |
A58206 | say you, how can he be passive who can not be active at all? |
A58206 | so hath he a care for their bodily preservation and sustenance; doth that prove that we ought not to feed or cloath them? |
A58206 | that is, did he make any more wives for Adam then one? |
A58206 | the Apostle saith, much every way: and what is the advantage of the believing Christians child, and Gods covenant with them? |
A58206 | the seal of circumcision? |
A58206 | therefore Infants who can not so do, may not be baptized? |
A58206 | they only who can actually for the present repent? |
A58206 | this covenant? |
A58206 | to whom? |
A58206 | were it not rather to tempt God, if( as much as in us lies) we should shut up the doore and inlet into his kingdome against infants? |
A58206 | were the infants excepted? |
A58206 | were they no wayes liable to this double precept, repent and be baptized every one of you? |
A58206 | what are they damn''d? |
A58206 | what doth God, when he said to Abraham — and in thee all the families of the earth shall be blessed; doth he meane only all persons of age? |
A58206 | what in Traditions and unwritten verities? |
A58206 | what, is it of force only to men and women of yeares; where''s the infants part? |
A58206 | what, no more then of Turkes, and Jewes? |
A58206 | what, to those who had been children, but were now of years to be taught, believe and repent? |
A58206 | when? |
A58206 | where have they any express precept for dipping over head and ears? |
A58206 | where have they any express precept for their long prayers, for baptizing women, or administring the communion to them? |
A58206 | where is any precept obliging to a place? |
A58206 | where is his priviledge of federall holynesse, as being borne of believing parents? |
A58206 | where is there any syllable express, or probable for re- baptizing any? |
A58206 | where shall we feek these, among our adversaries? |
A58206 | wherein appears either matter or form thereto pertinent? |
A58206 | which of all the reformed Churches ever did so? |
A58206 | who know''s not, that God commanded severall things with respect to severall capacities? |
A58206 | who knows not that these and the like things are left under the general rule, Let all things be done decently, and in order? |
A58206 | who? |
A58206 | you confesse baptisme to be the ordinary inlet into the kingdome of heaven; and is an ordinary thing a signe or miracle? |
A58206 | — Why were it not as good they stayed to make it, till that time, before which time if they do make it, it is to no purpose? |
A58206 | — Would it not as well follow à non scripto? |

A58207 | 1. quis enim potest dare quod ipse non habeat? |
A58207 | 10. Who( of any sense) doth not understand that of those that can, and will not? |

A58207 | 36: see here is water, what doth let me to be baptized? |
A58207 | 4 When the Apostle saith the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife; if any ask, what wife? |
A58207 | 5 If the matter must be put upon express words of Scripture, let our Antagonists shew us where they are expresly forbidden to baptize Infants? |
A58207 | A gallant flourish indeed: but seriously; Did Christ take them up in his arms, and bless them; and are they not blessed? |
A58207 | Again, Baptism is administred with the words of institution by Christ appointed; take away the Word, and what is the Water but ordinary water? |
A58207 | All these vain and injurious expressions, are meer aspersions: and call you this an Argument considerable? |
A58207 | And I pray how could the Priest under the Law know the minds of children to be circumci ● ed? |
A58207 | And again, who is eaten with the zeal of Gods house? |
A58207 | And if a quality, of what kind it is? |
A58207 | And what solidity is there on these conjectures, to conclude that Hieroms parents, though Christian, defer''d his baptism until he was 30 years old? |
A58207 | And where is then their answer of a good conscience toward God? |
A58207 | And who is so ready to cast this odious Livery upon others, as the most Antichristian? |
A58207 | And why can not God as well do his mercies to infants now immediatly, as he did before the institution either of circumcision or baptism? |
A58207 | And why is it more proportionable to an act of reason and humanity to defer childrens baptism, then in due time to baptize them? |
A58207 | But let us hear the rest of Tertullians advice; was it only concerning the deferring infants baptism? |
A58207 | But to what purpose do you propose any of these examples to your clients imitation? |
A58207 | But what follows? |
A58207 | But what if they never marry, must they never be baptized? |
A58207 | But what is crucifying again? |
A58207 | But what makes this against baptizing infants of parents known to be within the Church? |
A58207 | But what other battalio''s come next up? |
A58207 | But you demand, if it implies a duty on our part, how then can children receive it, who can not do duty at all? |
A58207 | But you say, Circumcision left a Character in the flesh, which being imprinted upon Infants, did it work upon them when they came to age?] |
A58207 | But you say, — The infant is not capable of believing, and if he were, he were also capable of dissenting; and how then do they know his mind?] |
A58207 | By demanding, quanta est major Propositio? |
A58207 | Can any be saved without such grace? |
A58207 | Can there be a sound conclusion from rotten premises? |
A58207 | Can you be assured that none of these who are baptized in infancy, and no otherwise, are regenerate and saved? |
A58207 | Could they if sent into Painim- Countreys with all the terms of your supposition, have been more disposed to an actual belief without a new Master? |
A58207 | Did their Baptizers profane Baptism? |
A58207 | Do any creatures under the degrees of man, bear the image of their Creator, in immortality, sanctity and light of understanding? |
A58207 | Do they say so when they speak of infant- baptism? |
A58207 | Do we then complain against God, when we complain of the Anabaptists abridging children of that which God hath allowed them? |
A58207 | Do you account obedience to God and his holy ordinances, to be a tempting of God? |
A58207 | Do you also call the truth thereof in question? |
A58207 | Do you mean by the Holy Ghost, the gi ● ts and graces of Gods holy Spirit regenerating the elect to the Kingdome of Heaven? |
A58207 | Do you think there is no danger from infants original guilt which maks them stand in need of the laver of regeneration for the remission of their sin? |
A58207 | Doth God save any Infants? |
A58207 | Doth it follow therefore a man may make confession of Christ with his mouth to salvation, before he believeth in him in his heart? |
A58207 | Doth not Gods blessing give both end and means that we may be so? |
A58207 | God created him — male and female created he them: both one flesh, and so but one — and wherefore one? |
A58207 | God hath appointed baptism to be a seal and token of our receiving and entrance into the Church; is it to no purpose to obey him in his Ordinances? |
A58207 | How can any meer man know whom to baptize, though of years, and whom to put by? |
A58207 | How doth that appear? |
A58207 | How invalid is the Moderators Agument, à non scripto, ad non factum? |
A58207 | How know you that Iohn B. or the Apostles never baptized any Infants? |
A58207 | How many impertinences are he ● e twisted up together? |
A58207 | How many ridiculous consequences would you thence inferre? |
A58207 | How much more rationally may ● e make covenant with infants, though yet without the actuall use of reason? |
A58207 | How often hath Satan in tempting to sin, misled the incaucious with this suggestion, there can be no danger in it,''t is the surer way? |
A58207 | How poor a spirited mother art thou, and of how little faith? |
A58207 | How then shall we be renewed after our falling into sin? |
A58207 | How vain and malitious is this calumny of yours? |
A58207 | I appeal to your own conscience ▪ may we as well conclude against Gods word, as for it? |
A58207 | I demand then, Do infants believe? |
A58207 | I demand, Doth God perform every one of his promises? |
A58207 | I demand, quo jure, by what right is the Kingdom of Heaven theirs? |
A58207 | I wonder what they will be ashamed to say, who blush not at such assertions? |
A58207 | I would gladly be resolved, quanta est illa propositio? |
A58207 | I. Quid igitur? |
A58207 | If any ask, why it comes out so late to publike view? |
A58207 | If giving the Seal to those who can not be profited thereby, be profanation of the same, how often do you prophane the holy Seal? |
A58207 | If it be a ceremony only, how doth it sanctifie us, or make the comers thereunto perfect? |
A58207 | If it be a duty on our part to administer it, how can children receive it, who can not do any duty at all? |
A58207 | If it be necessary to baptism that the baptizer know the mind of the person to be baptized, how can you baptize men of years? |
A58207 | If it implys a duty on our part, how then can children receive it, who can not do duty a ● all?] |
A58207 | If not, how maliciously is this objected against us, baptizing Infants of Believers, Christ himself expresly avowing them as subjects of his Kingdom? |
A58207 | If not, why inferre you them? |
A58207 | If this argument were good, how many men and women of age, must by the same reason be denyed baptism? |
A58207 | If you do not, why do you urge against us an authority which your self consenteth not unto? |
A58207 | If you mean the second, that is, that we less know the truth then the evidence; what blame you in our cause, or advantage your Clients? |
A58207 | If you say we see no evidence, nor can the blind see the Sun; what can you gain hereby? |
A58207 | If you will have none baptized before the works of the Spirit, before the operations of grace,& c. when and whom may you baptize? |
A58207 | If( you say) by the external work alone, how doth this differ from the opus operatum of Papists, save that it is worse? |
A58207 | In which it seemeth to us a very weak querie, And why can not God as well do his mercies to Infants now immediately? |

A58207 | if evill or unjust, why consult you how to imitate it by way of revenge? |
A58207 | if of children, what can they, as such, perform? |
A58207 | is it not a shame to be such, as we are or may well be ashamed to be called? |
A58207 | is not this froathy- Rethorick? |
A58207 | is your meaning, Some of them that are capable of the same grace, are not alwaies capable of the signe thereof? |
A58207 | might he not be sealed or saved? |
A58207 | must all the world be drown''d, and only eight persons saved? |
A58207 | nay, but no man can be edified by that which is destructive; or in Enthusiasms and Revelations? |
A58207 | operám ne perdemus? |
A58207 | or a Boyish manner of contest, to call Whore, and all ill names, where they have not other power to prevail? |
A58207 | or because they have not faith, do you conclude them all damned who die in their infancy? |
A58207 | or deny it to any within the Church, needing Regeneration, that they may be saved? |
A58207 | or did he at first make any more then one husband and one wife? |
A58207 | or did not Tertullian know what he wrote? |
A58207 | or doe you not take a child of eight dayes old( when it was by Gods command and covenant to receive the seal) to be an infant? |
A58207 | or what wil it advantage you if it were true? |
A58207 | say you, how can he be passive who can not be active at all? |
A58207 | so hath he a care for their bodily preservation and ● ustenance; doth that prove that we ought not to feed or cloath them? |
A58207 | that is, did he make any more wives for Adam then one? |
A58207 | the Apostle saith, much every way: and what is the advantage of the believing Christians child, and Gods covenant with them? |
A58207 | the seal of circumcision? |
A58207 | therefore Infants who can not so do, may not be baptized? |
A58207 | they only who can actually for the present repent? |
A58207 | this covenant? |
A58207 | to whom? |
A58207 | were it not rather to tempt God, if( as much as in us lies) we should shut up the doore and inlet into his kingdome against infants? |
A58207 | were the infants excepted? |
A58207 | were they no wayes liable to this double precept, repent and be baptized every one of you? |
A58207 | what are they damn''d? |
A58207 | what doth God, when he said to Abraham — and in thee all the families of the earth shall be blessed; doth he meane only all persons of age? |
A58207 | what in Traditions and unwritten verities? |
A58207 | what, is it of force only to men and women of yeares; where''s the infants part? |
A58207 | what, no more then of Turkes, and Iewes? |
A58207 | what, to those who had been children, but were now of years to be taught, believe and repent? |
A58207 | when? |
A58207 | where have they any express precept for dipping over head and ears? |
A58207 | where have they any express precept for their long prayers, for baptizing women, or administring the communion to them? |
A58207 | where is any precept obliging to a place? |
A58207 | where is his priviledge of federall holynesse, as being borne of believing parents? |
A58207 | where is there any syllable express, or probable for re- baptizing any? |
A58207 | where shall we seek these, among our adversaries? |
A58207 | wherein appears either matter or form thereto pertinent? |
A58207 | which of all the reformed Churches ever did so? |
A58207 | who know''s not, that God commanded severall things with respect to severall capacities? |
A58207 | who knows not that these and the like things are left under the general rule, Let all things be done decently, and in order? |
A58207 | who? |
A58207 | — Auxentius solvit baptismum Christi — curigitur rebaptizan ● dos Auxentius fideles populos putat baptizatos in nomine Trinitatis,& c? |
A58207 | — Why were it not as good they stayed to make it, till that time, before which time if they do make it, it is to no purpose? |
A58207 | — Would it not as well follow à non scripto? |
A26961 | ( And should it not be considered, whether the contrary hath not far less evidence and likelihood of Truth?) |
A26961 | ( What fruit of these things?) |
A26961 | ( and how far is the whole Church from being dissolved?) |
A26961 | ( which all the Jews, with all their little ones, were enter''d into with God) a Covenant of Grace,( as distinct from the Laws which was repealed?) |
A26961 | 17, 19, 24? |
A26961 | 19, 20. where Christ adjoyneth Baptizing immediately to Discipling? |
A26961 | 19. which is Ministerial Teaching? |
A26961 | 37. p. 14. and in other places? |
A26961 | 39. p. 31. Who is against as early an engagement of children to God, as can lawfully be made?] |
A26961 | 4, 8,& c. And is not the thing signified set forth by the phrase of Washing or Sprinkling? |
A26961 | 5, 6, 7, 8. out of this very Covenant? |
A26961 | Again, can it be, that Infants are not Disciples, because God will not shew them such Mercy? |
A26961 | Again, may not children be visible Church- members, and yet perhaps children of wrath too? |
A26961 | Again, seeing such do not usually know themselves when they were first disciples( in this sense) how much less can others know it? |
A26961 | And all this in contending, that your own children are out of Christs visible Church? |
A26961 | And be devoted to Learning, if they live, and consecrated to him as their Master? |
A26961 | And can that be according to the mind and will of Christ? |
A26961 | And can you say, that this was proper to the Jews? |
A26961 | And consequently, that Believers and their seed were not broken off? |
A26961 | And did not their own Church ever contain Infants, as Members? |
A26961 | And does not the Greek word signifie to Wash, as well as to Dip? |
A26961 | And does not the Law take it as his Act? |
A26961 | And does not this nurture belong to them, as Schollars of Christ? |
A26961 | And does there need any more to prove, that they ought to be Baptized? |
A26961 | And doth not that shew, God hath given Parents their interest and authority? |
A26961 | And doth not the Scripture fully shew, that all the people of Israel did( by Gods appointment) enter their children into the Covenant of God? |
A26961 | And from constant example in Scripture, explaining the Commission? |
A26961 | And from the end and use of Baptism? |
A26961 | And further, doth not experience confirm it, that God frequently blesseth this means? |
A26961 | And further, doth the Apostle speak one word against the priviledge of those Infants, whose Parents violated not Gods Covenant, nor fell away? |
A26961 | And had the Jews, Gods own people, less mercy than those that were thus adjoyned to them? |
A26961 | And hath God no mercy for Infants? |
A26961 | And have not many said so about the religious Education of children, that it is but the way to make them Hypocrites? |
A26961 | And how many Scriptures are there that prove Infants must be admitted Church- members? |
A26961 | And if Infants in the Jews Church were Servants, and Disciples, doth not God shew as great and greater mercy to his Church now under the Gospel? |
A26961 | And if it was otherwise, might it not be only occasional, from a Reason proper to those hot Countries? |
A26961 | And if it was part of the Ceremonial Law, what was it a type of? |
A26961 | And if their Church admitted Infant- Members, and ours be the same, must not ours admit of Infant- Members also? |
A26961 | And if they were in the Truth here, yet is not that Truth a snare to them? |
A26961 | And if to be holy in the Apostles sense here, be no more than to be lawfully begotten, then may we not call all persons holy, that are not Bastards? |
A26961 | And is it likely that he would have unchurched all their Infants, when he would have gathered to him whole Jerusalem, or the whole Nation? |
A26961 | And is it not a far worse condition to be out of the visible Church, than in it? |
A26961 | And is it not a plain natural duty of Parents to covenant for their children, when it is for their good? |
A26961 | And is it not a spirit of rashness and headiness, that runs men presently upon new untried ways, upon every doubting about the old? |
A26961 | And is it not considerable, that all the three former Evangelists make full mention of these passages of Christ? |
A26961 | And is it not most probable that the Apostle speaks of the same kind of holiness, which was the ordinary priviledge of the faithful before? |
A26961 | And is it not such, to Baptize Women naked, or next to naked? |
A26961 | And is it their certain Salvation, or their Church- Membership, that we dispute for( in regard of Individuals?) |
A26961 | And is not Christs Church both his Kingdom and his School, and every Member of it under him, both as King and Prophet? |
A26961 | And is not the Gospel to many, The Savour of Death unto Death, and to the Jews a stumbling- block, and to the Gentiles foolishness? |
A26961 | And is not the former instituted plainly for all disciples? |
A26961 | And is not this the case of many, even of the godly, that are but children in knowledge? |
A26961 | And is not this the very case here? |
A26961 | And is there any Scripture that speaketh of delivering any from this sad estate, but Church- Members? |
A26961 | And let them know, that their meer Baptism( whether in Infancy, or at Age) is not sufficient? |
A26961 | And might it not become customary, formal, and consistent with great ignorance? |
A26961 | And must the Gospel be blamed for this? |
A26961 | And since we find that they were once in it, what need we any more proof, that they remain in, till it can be shewn where it is revoked? |
A26961 | And that every one that is a Member of a particular Church, is also a Member of the Universal? |
A26961 | And that in the Churches, and amongst the best Ministers and Christians? |
A26961 | And that perswade people, that it is a sin to hear our pretended Ministers,( as they have been called) because they were never Baptized? |
A26961 | And that the Jews Infants were Members of the Universal? |
A26961 | And that this Universal Church is not dissolved? |
A26961 | And then proved,[ That Infants are Church- Members:] is not this as much, as to prove, They must be Baptized? |
A26961 | And to Dip persons cloathed, will it not overthrow the Argument usually brought for the necessity of washing the whole Body? |
A26961 | And was not Christ himself Baptized, when yet he was not capable of many of the great ends of Baptism? |
A26961 | And was not Infants Church- membership revealed clearly there? |
A26961 | And were by nature the children of wrath, even as others? |
A26961 | And were not Infants engaged to God by the Seal of his Covenant,[ Circumcision?] |
A26961 | And were not the Infants of the faithful Church- members, and so holy, before Christs time? |
A26961 | And what a case was the Land in, if all did believe, as some of you teach? |
A26961 | And what if Infants can not at first learn to know Christ? |
A26961 | And what if many amongst you think to be saved, because they are Baptized again? |
A26961 | And whatsoever it may be to strangers, yet how can it seem such a mercy to Parents, to have their Children put out of the Church? |
A26961 | And when God addeth to the Church such as shall be saved, can it be any known way of mercy, to be cast, or put out of the Church? |
A26961 | And where are we taught to doubt the Salvation of the Infants of Pagans?] |
A26961 | And whether that Blessing did not belong to their Infants? |
A26961 | And whether the difference between the Baptists and Paedobaptists, be not chiefly( if not only) about imposing Ceremonies upon Infants? |
A26961 | And whether the most of you do well, that have made your Doctrine a ground of separation? |
A26961 | And whether these which Christ took up in his Armes, and Blessed, were not Members of his visible Church? |
A26961 | And whether this be not to put the Salvation of Infants out of his own hand?] |
A26961 | And whether this do not give the Parents power to save, or damn their Infants? |
A26961 | And who can imagine, that God should cast out the Infant,( that came in for the Parents sake) while the Parents remain in the same Church? |
A26961 | And who denies Infants to be capable of Infant- Relation, Obligation, or Right? |
A26961 | And why should any be more vigorous with Christ in this case, than with Men? |
A26961 | And will you leave us no sound grounded hope of the justification, or salvation of any dying Infants in the world? |
A26961 | And will you tell us, what operation Circumcision had on the Infants of Church- members formerly? |
A26961 | And would it not have occasioned great disputes and debates? |
A26961 | And yet were they not children of wrath by nature, as we are? |
A26961 | And yet, had they any more Faith or knowledge of the significancy, than ours have now? |
A26961 | And yet, were not they as uncapable of understanding either the significancy, or engagement, as ours are? |
A26961 | Another common objection is, if Infants must be Baptized, why may they not as well receive the Lords Supper? |
A26961 | Are any visibly Blest without the visible Church? |
A26961 | Are not Infants capable of being Subjects of Christs Kingdom? |
A26961 | Are not all Divines agreed in the definition of the Church, That it is a Society of persons separated from the world to God? |
A26961 | Are not all Subjects of Christ in his visible Kingdom or( Church) Christians? |
A26961 | Are not evident consequences, or Arguments drawn by reason from Scripture, as true proof, as the very express words of a Text? |
A26961 | Are not they a spiritual Seed that are of Christs Body, and saved by him? |
A26961 | Are the children of Believers holy in state? |
A26961 | Are there not many weighty Controversies more difficult than this? |
A26961 | As for the gracious Covenant made with Adam, do we not grant that it extends to Infants? |
A26961 | Because Bastards are called clean, will it therefore follow, that the legitimate may be called holy? |
A26961 | Being ordinarily and generally used, doth it not tend directly to overthrow peoples health and lives? |
A26961 | But hath God appointed any Ordinance contradictory to his great Moral Commands? |
A26961 | But if Infants be not Members of the Visible Church, how can you prove they are Members of the Invisible Church? |
A26961 | But is not the other such as they are, naturally incapable of in their first Infancy? |
A26961 | But may not that be the Childs Action Morally, and in Law- sence, which is onely the Fathers Action Physically? |
A26961 | But to come a little nearer to you; would you have none but Men and Women Baptised? |
A26961 | But utterly improbable that he should speak of no other holiness here but legitimation,( which is common to the children of Pagans?) |
A26961 | But what Scripture saith, that all Disciples as such, should presently receive the Lords Supper? |
A26961 | But would not this naturally, and necessarily produce them? |
A26961 | Can we say, the Scripture is dark, or sparing in that? |
A26961 | Can ye suppose the believing Jews children( and so the Parents in point of comfort) to be in a worse condition since Christ, than they were before? |
A26961 | Can you find out a third cause, which is not reducible to one of these? |
A26961 | Can you prove, that Christ will save those that are no Christians? |
A26961 | Can you shew( any of you) what there is in the nature of the thing, that should be hurtful to any? |
A26961 | Could there be a visible breaking off, or removal from an invisible term? |
A26961 | Cursed shalt thou be in the Fruit of thy Body: Thy Sons and thy Daughters shall be given to another people: They shall go into Captivity?] |
A26961 | Dare you say, that God hath repealed Infants Church- Membership to their hurt, in justice? |
A26961 | Did Christ come in tho flesh to put Infants out of his Church in mercy? |
A26961 | Did Christ come to make Believers or their children miserable, or bring them into a worse condition? |
A26961 | Did he ever revoke his Mercies in Justice to the parties hurt, till they first brake Covenant with him, and so procured it by their own desert? |
A26961 | Did not the Jews take it for unquestionable, all their Infants having actual possession, and that upon Gods own grant and Ordination? |
A26961 | Did not the Parents there enter their children into the Covenant, and not the Infants themselves? |
A26961 | Do not Ministers indeavour to take men off from such formality and self- delusions? |
A26961 | Does not the New- Testament speak more sparingly of that which is more fully discovered in the old? |
A26961 | Doth not the Apostle say it of that Church, whereof Infants were Members with their Parents, that but some were broken off from this Church? |
A26961 | Doth not the Doctrine, which puts Infants out of the visible Church of Christ, leave them in the visible Kingdom of the Devil? |
A26961 | Doth not the Holy Ghost call them Disciples? |
A26961 | Doth not the World and the Church contain all mankind, according to the ordinary Scripture- distribution? |
A26961 | Doth not the seventh Commandment forbid all incitements to uncleanness, and all immodest actions? |
A26961 | Doth not your Conscience tell you, that the Baptism of Men and Women upon profession of faith and repentance, is beyond the reach of contradiction?] |
A26961 | Further, what if it were more obscure than it is? |
A26961 | Had it been better therefore, the World had been without him? |
A26961 | Hath God entred into such a Covenant with any since the Fall, but in Christ, and upon terms of Grace? |
A26961 | Hath he appointed any Ordinance in his Church, which will destroy men, except they be preserved by Miracle? |
A26961 | Hath not Christ appointed the first to be such, as Infants are capable of? |
A26961 | Hath not Christ made larger promises to his Church Visible, than to any in the world that are not of the Church? |
A26961 | How can Infants be said to be a spiritual Seed: Are any but a spiritual Seed, Members of the Invisible Church? |
A26961 | How can it be a mercy to take away a mercy, except it be to give a greater mercy instead of it? |
A26961 | How properly may these be called Anti- queries? |
A26961 | How then could these or their Infants, be put out of the Church in justice to their hurt? |
A26961 | How then is it, or their Church- Membership grounded on it repealed? |
A26961 | How vain is it to say, that many are appointed the use of Bathing, as a Remedy against Diseases? |
A26961 | I will not dispute it with you, whether these of yours be properly called, Antiqueries? |
A26961 | If God would have Infants to be Church- members, and so entred by Baptism, are not all these objections against God, and a carping at his way? |
A26961 | If Infants are capable of being servants of God, how can they be thought incapable of being Disciples? |
A26961 | If a Child that can not read, be entred into the School, that he may learn to read, is there any thing in this that tends to delusion? |
A26961 | If a Childs name be put into a Lease, is there any thing in this to do him hurt? |
A26961 | If a Jew had been forced into a strange Country, yet had not both he and his children there been Members of the Universal Church? |
A26961 | If a man should affirm, That all the Infants of the faithful( so dying) are certainly saved, is there a syllable in the Text against him? |
A26961 | If it was an high favour to them to be entred in Infancy into the Church and Covenant, how comes it to be an hurt or wrong to us now? |
A26961 | If never so clear evidence of Truth be produced, will it not still be dark to them that are uncapable of discerning it? |
A26961 | If no Infants are Disciples, what is the cause? |
A26961 | If some priviledges were taken away, as the Release of the Jews servants,& c. yet are there not far greater given in their stead? |
A26961 | If the Gospel occasioneth contentions, doth it any more than occasion them? |
A26961 | If there be no ground to doubt of the Salvation of their Infants? |
A26961 | If this Ordinance and merciful Gift be repealed and revoked, whether is it in Mercy, or in Justice? |
A26961 | If you can not, how can you say that yours is the Scripture- way? |
A26961 | If you had learned what this meaneth, I will have Mercy, and not Sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless? |
A26961 | If you object, How can an Infant Covenant with God, or be engaged by this Sign? |
A26961 | If you say, That this merciful gift of God to Infants, and ordinance for their Church- Membership is repealed, does it not lie on you to prove it? |
A26961 | If you will make a difference, is not more required to a Servant, than to a Disciple? |
A26961 | In lesser points? |
A26961 | In points not then questioned? |
A26961 | In speaking of those to whom it speaks not, as concerning the Heathen, and concerning Infants? |
A26961 | Is it a fundamental point, and duty, of absolute necessity to salvation,( why then was not Baptism in the Creed called the Apostles?] |
A26961 | Is it an Universal Remedy? |
A26961 | Is it any other than a shift, to say, that it was only such a Seal of Abrahams righteousness of Faith? |
A26961 | Is it because they are not capable? |
A26961 | Is it not Christs Rule, that persons shall be Baptised without delay, when they are first made Disciples? |
A26961 | Is it not a breach of the seventh Commandment,[ Thou shalt not commit Adultery] to Dip persons naked, or next to naked? |
A26961 | Is it not clear, that there is an Universal Church visible? |
A26961 | Is it not common to call the whole Nation of the Turks, both old and young, by the name of Mahometans, or Disciples of Mahomet? |
A26961 | Is it not evident, that they were taken for Doctrines of moment for the Churches information? |
A26961 | Is it not evident, that those on whose necks the false Teachers would have laid the yoke, were Disciples? |
A26961 | Is it not restrained to those, that can first examine themselves, and can discern the Lords Body, and keep in remembrance his Death? |
A26961 | Is it not sinful to neglect and put it off, when once it might lawfully be done? |
A26961 | Is it not somewhat, if they can be taught any of the duty of a rational creature? |
A26961 | Is it plain, or so much as probable, that the Jaylor was dipt over head, who was Baptized in the night in his house? |
A26961 | Is not one found Argument enough to prove any thing true? |
A26961 | Is not that a Covenant of Grace, wherein God taketh them to be his people, and engageth to be their God? |
A26961 | Is not the Scripture more sparing in such cases as these? |
A26961 | Is not the constant sense of the word[ holy] a separation to God? |
A26961 | Is not the nature, end, and use of Sacraments, or holy engaging Signs and Seals, the same to all, though the fruit be not alway the same? |
A26961 | Is not their own Olive their own Church? |
A26961 | Is not this the use of Baptism, to be the sign of their first Covenant with Christ, and solemn admission into the Church? |
A26961 | Is not your way inconsistent with obedience to the Rule? |
A26961 | Is that the first Lesson? |
A26961 | Is the overthrow of a mans former weak grounds, the overthrow of the Truth which he held? |
A26961 | Is this Controversie in it self considered, of so great moment, as some make it? |
A26961 | Is this dark or doubtful? |
A26961 | It it not enough that they are revealed in the Old Testament? |
A26961 | May it not be said of you, you know not what Spirit you are of? |
A26961 | May not they be washed as well as the Aged? |
A26961 | May we tempt God? |
A26961 | May you not as well take upon you, to lay hands on the Sick to heal them? |
A26961 | Now can you shew one word of command or example here? |
A26961 | Now to the Question,[ whether some Infants ought not to be Baptized?] |
A26961 | Now what plentiful proof may be brought, that some Infants ought to be admitted visible Church- Members? |
A26961 | Now what word, what Example can you produce out of Scripture, to satisfie Conscience how early you may do it? |
A26961 | Now, how may divers of your own party( such as you call Baptists) justly object that to you, which without ground they are wo nt to object against us? |
A26961 | Now, if Christ would have dispossessed them, should he not somewhere have discovered it? |
A26961 | Now, is it not a sorer curse to be put out of the whole Visible Church of Christ, than to go into Captivity? |
A26961 | Now, is there any greater mercy given to Infants than Church- Membership? |
A26961 | Now, must not he that will affirm, the whole species of Infants are cast out of the Universal visible Church, prove it well? |
A26961 | Now, were there not many Jews that believed, and did not forsake the Covenant of God? |
A26961 | Of such is the Kingdom of God,] whether this be not more, than they may be visible Church- Members? |
A26961 | Or can you say, that it is in Mercy for their good? |
A26961 | Or is the overthrow of other mens weak arguments a weakning of the Truth which they maintain? |
A26961 | Or to get off, will you say, you consent to the Covenant of grace for the Infants? |
A26961 | Or who opposeth their being devoted to God in their capacity? |
A26961 | Or will you bear the blame for them? |
A26961 | Otherwise how could it be a reason for releasing them in the year of Jubilee, any more than for releasing any other? |
A26961 | Ought not all Christs Disciples ordinarily to be Baptized? |
A26961 | Ought not all ordinarily to be Baptized, that ought to be admitted visible Church- Members? |
A26961 | Shall we therefore say, that Christ should have let it alone till afterwards? |
A26961 | Shall we thus make God the deluder, and blinder of the Jews, and accuse his Sacred Laws and Institutions of Errour? |
A26961 | Should not you bring some Scripture for your way, who require such express proof from us? |
A26961 | Since Baptism was instituted, have we any Precept or Example of admitting visible Members any other way? |
A26961 | That none of the Jews were broken off but for unbelief? |
A26961 | The Apostle Peter tells us many things are hard to be understood, even in Pauls Epistles; yet are they not truths for all that? |
A26961 | The Beasts that chewed the Cud, and had cloven feet, were clean, will you therefore say, they were holy? |
A26961 | The main Question not being[ By what sign Members are to be admitted into the Church,] or[ whether by a sign, or without?] |
A26961 | Then do you not forget your self again? |
A26961 | Then for any thing the Apostle saith, or this Synod, all Infants might be circumcised still: and is not this absurd? |
A26961 | Then how is it taken down any further than as to ceremonial accidentals? |
A26961 | Then is it not to be used at their first Admission? |
A26961 | Then is not almost all the world holy? |
A26961 | Though the garment be washed, yet may it not hinder the washing of some parts of the Body? |

A41786 | Whether a Gift that was never given be not a contradiction? |
A41786 | Whether if there be any such Law, you would not have she we d us where it is, longere this day? |
A41786 | Whether it be not the duty of Parents by the Law of Nature, to accept of any allowed or offered benefit for their children? |
A41786 | Whether it was not the duty of the Israelites to engage and devote their children to God in Covenant? |
A41786 | Whether it was not the same Church be ● or ●, and after Abrahams time; that was called the Tents of Sem? |
A41786 | Whether the Anabaptists schism, or separation from Communion with our Churches be not worse yet then their simple Opinion? |
A41786 | Whether the Covenant doth not make their salvation certain, if they so die? |
A41786 | Whether the Invest ● ure and Solemnization of their Covenant with Christ should not be made in Infancy,& c? |
A41786 | Whether the blessing of Abraham,( if you understand it of eternal life) were not the blessing of the Fathers that were before him? |
A41786 | Whether there be any that question whether Parents be Parents still, or what need of such Enquiries? |
A41786 | Whether there be not far more hope of their salvation, then of those without? |
A41786 | Whether these Promises in the making of them were limited to a certain time when they were to cease? |
A41786 | Whether these things be surely suggested against Mr. T, and whether you ought not to have set down his opinion in his own words? |
A41786 | Whether they are not as certainly Members, according to an Infant- capacity, of the visible Church, as they are of all Kingdoms under Heaven? |
A41786 | Whether this Query be not either captious, or else impertin ● nt? |
A41786 | Whether this Query be not the same in effect, which we have had again and again? |
A41786 | Whether this Query be not the same we had before? |
A41786 | Whether this be in effect to say, What will these feeble Jews do? |
A41786 | Whether this be not a groundless and unlearned Query? |
A41786 | Whether this be not a very unwise Query? |
A41786 | Whether this be not evident from the Penalty( even to be cut off from his People) annexed for the non- Performance? |
A41786 | Whether unless it can be proved that Infants are none of the Womans S ● ed, we must not take that Fundamental Promise to extend to Infants? |
A41786 | Whether upon Luthers revolt from the Pope, you were not upbraided with holding communion with an inconsiderable part of the universal Church? |
A41786 | Whether was Abraham made a Member of the Church by Circumcision, or circumcised because a Member of the Church? |
A41786 | Whether was those that cried, His blood be upon us and our Children, thereby rejecting the great Mess ● nger of the Covenant, ● ustly broken off? |
A41786 | Whether we do not as much to our Infants( in our capacity) as Christ did to the Infants which were brought to him? |
A41786 | Whether you ought not to distinguish in this great Promise, the things which are eternal from the things that were but for a time? |
A41786 | Whoever doubted but that Infants are advantaged many ways, in the blessings which God bestows on them that fear him? |
A41786 | Will any say, that neither they nor their Parents were obliged to thankfulness upon this account? |
A41786 | Will not the second Adams obedience salve the first Adams disobedience? |
A41786 | Would any Kingdom be more excell ● nt, if all Infants were disfranchised? |
A41786 | Would it not be to confound the Decree of God with his Covenant? |
A41786 | and are not Infants God''s own due? |
A41786 | and how can Infants be said to be in the Church, as Abraham then was, seeing they have no faith as he had? |
A41786 | and if not, how shall they be saved, seeing Christ is only the Saviour of his body finally? |
A41786 | and if not, how should their consenting to grace be the Childs consent? |
A41786 | and if not, then you either deny us to be of the universal Church, or else you have not the Exposition of the Church universal? |
A41786 | and if not, why do you make them the Seed of the Serpent, and Fighters against the Kingdom of Christ? |
A41786 | and if there be other Qualifications necessary, whether to be taught be not one of the chief of them? |
A41786 | and not only so, but so as to be accepted of God, as far( at least) as the Righteousness of the Law would avail the Jew? |
A41786 | and therefore whether the wonder which he makes about the Jews Infants which believed, be not groundless? |
A41786 | and whethen you do not now grant in effect there is no such written Law? |
A41786 | and whether both ought not to be amend ● d? |
A41786 | and whether there be any Parity between the Infants you speak of and Christ, seeing he was able even then to vanqu ● sh the greatest Adversary? |
A41786 | and whether this be not a meer noise of words, as if all that do not as you do, do lay a side their care and duties towards Infants? |
A41786 | and whether what is said to it, may not also suffiee to this? |
A41786 | and why do you say we take Infants away from Christs Church, because we baptize them not; are they in it before baptized? |
A41786 | and will not that sati ● fie, unless we go from him to follow you? |
A41786 | and yet whether the separation from many Pedobaptists will not justifie our separation from you more clearly? |
A41786 | are you sure they are not within the verge of Christs Redemption? |
A41786 | as to the age of the Subjects? |
A41786 | certainly, if Gods Word assign any Ordinances in lieu of the former, the place where''t is written would have b ● en known to this day? |
A41786 | commanded his Ministers, as much as in them lieth, to disciple all Nations baptizing them,& c? |
A41786 | do we not grant that it extends to Infants, yea, we say with Mr. Baxter, it was never abrogated? |
A41786 | how then were all the Infants saved which were born to the Israelites for fourty years together, such of them, I mean, as died during that time? |
A41786 | if so, how do we take them away? |
A41786 | or be pleased to come and make my Infants disciples if you can, and I promise you I will assist you what I can in the baptizing them? |
A41786 | or how come they to be concern''d so much in that one duty of Baptism, and no other whatsoever? |
A41786 | or is there any other way to be graffed in to the Church of Christ, but by faith? |
A41786 | or prove if you can, that you your selves do consent to the Covenant of Grace for your Infants, more then we whom you call Anabaptists? |
A41786 | or to conclude ours only are in the state of salvation? |
A41786 | or where did Infants ever fight for, or against the Serpent? |
A41786 | or where did she ever decree, that those who would not submit to her new frame should be put to death? |
A41786 | or whether it be any loss to them till God requires it? |
A41786 | or whether was the Infants of the Jews exposed to damnation by their Parents unbelief? |
A41786 | or whether you think the blessing of Abraham is confined to Ceremonies in respect of Infants, if so, shew us what Ceremonies these are? |
A41786 | or who goes about to justifie the World, if they do not as the Law of God and Nature wills them to do for their Infants? |
A41786 | or will you say Infants can not partake with their Parents of salvation without Baptism? |
A41786 | seeing then all Infants( for ought you know) have the same right, which yet you d ● ny; but why so? |
A41786 | to be brought to partake of Ordinances Practical in the Church, save only from Abraham to the end of the Law? |
A41786 | whether was Saul broken off when he persecuted the Church causing many to blaspheme? |
A41786 | who doubts but that as many others as became Jews by being Proselited to the Law, were Circumcised according to the Law? |
A41786 | why do you take up the Papists weapons? |
A41786 | why then who is not a fit subject, seeing all Infants ● nd men too are of one Nation or another? |
A41786 | yet what makes this for any actual Participation of Ordinances in the Church, and what one Ordinance did the Infants of these Sons of God partake of? |
A41786 | you deny them the one, why may not we as well deny the other? |
A47605 | & c. Can your Conclusion be good, when your Propositions are bad and defective? |
A47605 | & c. Was it his Mind that Infants should be baptized, and yet say nothing of it, because it was a common Custom and Practice among the Jews? |
A47605 | ( for that he did not) and shall we attempt to Baptize them, as if we were wiser than he? |
A47605 | 1. Who is so blind as he who is not willing to see? |
A47605 | 12.13? |
A47605 | 3. Who told you Baptism is Christ''s Ear- mark, by which Christ''s Sheep are distinguished from the Devils Goats? |
A47605 | 9.7? |
A47605 | ; Have they a justifying Faith, as Mr. Baxter intimates? |
A47605 | Also where are Infants excluded from the Lord''s- Table? |
A47605 | And are Infants able so to do? |
A47605 | And are not Infants of Unbelievers, nay, Turks and Pagans, capable of the Spiritual Benefits signified in Baptism? |
A47605 | And could not the twelve Apostles, and the seventy Disciples, dip more than 3000 Persons in one day? |
A47605 | And do not you herein make your selves wiser than God? |
A47605 | And for all Male- Children that open the Womb, to be holy to the Lord? |
A47605 | And how came Baptism to have such Power in it? |
A47605 | And if the Laws and Institutions of Christ in their own nature are not unchangeable, what may not Men do and yet be blameless? |
A47605 | And is it so indeed? |
A47605 | And is not that, as Mr. Baxter saith, a strange Marriage, where there is nothing signified of Consent? |
A47605 | And that their Infants who die, may go to Heaven, tho not circumcised nor baptized? |
A47605 | And though in the same Hour of the Night it was done also: What of that, might there not be a River or Pond near his House? |
A47605 | And to these Customs the Apostle alludes, when he says, How shall we that are dead to Sin, live any longer therein? |
A47605 | And us to what you speak concerning Adultery, that shews the like envious, bitter and vile Temper; who do you charge? |
A47605 | And was not Circumcision them in full force too, and so abode till Christ took it away by nailing it, with all other Jewish Rites, to his Cross? |
A47605 | And what became of their Male Infants, who died before eight days old? |
A47605 | And what tho the Greek word doth signify in so many places you mention, spiritual Sanctification and Separation to God? |
A47605 | And when did God ever honour Infant- Baptism? |
A47605 | Are not Male and Female all one in Christ Jesus? |
A47605 | Are not these perjured also? |
A47605 | Are not they and all others told, that old things are passed away, and all things are become new? |
A47605 | Are not they capable of Redemption from Sin and Wrath, by the breaking of Christ''s Body, and shedding of his Blood? |
A47605 | Are you not ashamed thus to go about to blind and deceive the poor People? |
A47605 | Are you not blame- worthy to write after this sort? |
A47605 | As if he had said, If there be no Resurrection, why are we baptized? |
A47605 | Baptism washes not away the Filth of the Flesh? |
A47605 | Besides, did not the same Fathers hold other Errors? |
A47605 | Besides, have you not granted the Case so far, that in hot Countries they did dip? |
A47605 | Besides, was Baptism to be preached or practised by none but the Jewish People? |
A47605 | But alas, how few are there of that sort? |
A47605 | But is it so indeed, did our Saviour say nothing of Infant- Baptism? |
A47605 | But is not this next to Blasphemy? |
A47605 | But now can the Infant- Seed of Believers, as such, be said to be the Seed of Abraham in any of these four respects? |
A47605 | But now, because there were so many Additions of the Gospel Promise and New- Covenant; are there so many New Covenants? |
A47605 | But since he speaks the quite contrary, who shall we believe, you, or the great Apostle of the Gentiles? |
A47605 | But the Rabbins upheld Joshuah''s side, and what wonder was it? |
A47605 | But well saith Tertullian, Is it lawful, because it is not forbidden? |
A47605 | But what good doth your baptizing them do them? |
A47605 | But what ground have you to deny any who are true Members of the Church, the Eucharist, or Lord''s Supper, or any other Priviledge whatsoerver? |
A47605 | But who do you( by arguing thus) reflect upon and reproach? |
A47605 | But why do you confound things together, I mean, Initiation and Baptism? |
A47605 | But, Sir, how doth this comport with the Rantism of Infants? |
A47605 | But, Sir, how inconsistent are you with your self? |
A47605 | But, Sir, speak, doth Baptism change the Nature, or regenerate the Child, or doth it not? |
A47605 | But, Sir, what must the Gentiles do to know this to be their Duty? |
A47605 | But, Sir, when did you see any to come out of the bottomless- Pit, that you know so well how they look? |
A47605 | Can Infant- Baptism be more useful than that of Believers, and yet Baptism an Ordinance of the Soul''s Marriage with Christ? |
A47605 | Can Infant- Baptism be more useful than that of Believers, and yet Baptism called the Answer of a good Conscience? |
A47605 | Can Infant- Baptism be more useful than that of Believers? |
A47605 | Can a little Babe answer a good Conscience by being baptized in Obedience to Christ, and to shew forth his Death and Resurrection? |
A47605 | Can an humane Rite or Tradition, think you, save poor Children, or a little Water sprinkled on the Face, wash away Original Sin? |
A47605 | Can any Body believe( in or near Jerusalem, that great City) there was not Water enough to baptize so many Persons? |
A47605 | Can any Man in his right Wits think our Lord Jesus should confirm a vile Tradition and Innovation of the Jews? |
A47605 | Can not God save dying Infants, unless they were included in that Covenant made with Abraham? |
A47605 | Can that be a useful thing that frustrates the sacred and spiritual Ends of Baptism? |
A47605 | Can that be of any Use to an Infant, which you, nor no Man else can prove from God''s Word to have any Use and Blessing in it to them? |
A47605 | Can that have any Usefulness in it, that brings Guilt upon the Parents in doing it, making them guilty of Will- Worship, or of a humane Tradition? |
A47605 | Can you be so ignorant as to affirm this Covenant and Contract made with Abraham, was made with the Natural Seed of believing Gentiles? |
A47605 | Christ no doubt came to save some of all sorts of Men; and who doubts but he came to save Infants and little ones, young and old? |
A47605 | Could Jesus be said to be sprinkled into the River Jordan? |
A47605 | Did Baptism confer Grace, and arm their Souls, it was something; but who dares assert that? |
A47605 | Did not our Lord Jesus Christ send his Disciples to Teach and Baptize in all Countries, not to Rantize in cool Countries and baptize in hot? |
A47605 | Did not our Saviour command his Disciples to go into all Nations, and make Disciples and baptize them? |
A47605 | Did this stumble them in the Apostolical Days, who were told, that Circumcision availed nothing, nor Vncircumcision? |
A47605 | Do not all Expositors tell you, by Lambs in these places are meant young Converts, who are by St. Peter called new- born Babes? |
A47605 | Do not these Men teach such a kind of Doctrine as that is? |
A47605 | Do you know they are all Elect Persons, and so such that God will in time call, give Grace to, and so change their evil and depraved Natures? |
A47605 | Do you not place that Vertue in an external Rite, that only belongs to the Blood of Christ, and sanctifying Grace of God''s Spirit? |
A47605 | Do you not positively now confess by the order of the words in the Commission, Teaching ought to go before Baptizing? |
A47605 | Do you think there is not need that Infant- Baptism should be mentioned in the holy Scripture, had it been a Truth? |
A47605 | Does Christ own Infants to be Subjects of his Kingdom, and yet did not baptize them? |
A47605 | Does God give himself, all he is, and all he has, to every Believer, and to all his fleshly Seed? |
A47605 | Doth Christ( say you) take Children into his Arms, and shall his Church cast them out of her Imbraces? |
A47605 | Doth not History tell us the Fathers used other Rites also, and that in Baptism? |
A47605 | Doth not our blessed Saviour say, that they had made void the Commandments of God through their Traditions? |
A47605 | Doth not the Apostle declare, that a general Apostacy from the true Apostolical Faith and Doctrine would after his days ensue? |
A47605 | Doth this Text, in the order of words, say, John taught Persons to be baptized, and then to repent? |
A47605 | For who shall put a Bound to Mens feigning Analogies, when they go beyond the Lord''s Precepts, and the Apostles Examples? |
A47605 | God will have Mercy, and not Sacrifice? |
A47605 | Had God given the Jews any such Law or Precept? |
A47605 | Had God required Infants to be baptized, who could argue against their being capable of it? |
A47605 | Had it been such a Pond as you say, do you suppose we would have baptized People in it, in the open sight of such a mixt Multitude? |
A47605 | Had it been the constant Custom of the Godly to baptize Infants, would not these, think you, have been in their Infancy baptized? |
A47605 | Had it not been in the words of his Commission, durst he, think you, have done it? |
A47605 | Have all their Children, or every one of them, Christ, Grace, Holiness here, and Glory and eternal Happiness hereafter? |
A47605 | Have they kept their Vow and Covenant? |
A47605 | How dare you change a Divine Institution of Jesus Christ? |
A47605 | How far did some of the Jews go to worship God at Jerusalem? |
A47605 | How is it then that the Apostle Paul says, The Law is not of Faith; also the Covenant of Grace giveth Life? |
A47605 | How little is the Institution of Christ, or Practice of the Primitive Churches, minded by many good Men? |
A47605 | How now, are you wiser than the Church? |
A47605 | How shall we that are dead to Sin, live any longer therein? |
A47605 | How then could the dying Infants of the Godly, who lived before that Covenant was made with Abraham, be saved? |
A47605 | How were they broken off? |
A47605 | I answer first of all, that your Argument is not true in form; Is Circumcision in your Minor? |
A47605 | I answer, first, how inconsistent is this with what just before you asserted? |
A47605 | I demand,( say you now) whether any one can truly say, that this Action was insignificant to the Child, because he did not understand it? |
A47605 | I wonder( as I have formerly said) what Faith''t is you suppose to be in Infants: When will your Trumpet give a certain Sound? |
A47605 | I would know how you prove Baptism to be the Medicine appointed to cure the Soul of the Plague of Sin? |
A47605 | If not thus, how can it be Cruelty, yea Murder, in Parents, to deny the Application of Baptism to their Children? |
A47605 | If not, do you not heap up a Multitude of Evils upon them, and hereby make their Condition worse, or aggravate their Sin and Misery for ever? |
A47605 | If only conditionally, 〈 ◊ 〉 ● ● ther Privilege have they then 〈 ◊ 〉 the Children of Unbelievers? |
A47605 | If so, why were not they Circumcised? |
A47605 | If the Parents Faith will serve for the Child, why not the Parents Baptism serve for the Child as well? |
A47605 | If these Men speak right or truly, what a Multitude in thee have been made to enter into this Covenant, who never performed it? |
A47605 | If you do not say this, why do you affirm, that the Children of Believers were always, or ever in Covenant as well as their Parents? |
A47605 | If you insist not on internal Privileges, nor on external Privileges that are sealed to Infants that are baptized, what does their Baptism signify? |
A47605 | If you would include the Controversy, ought you not to have said, All they who? |
A47605 | In some shallow Rivolets, we daily see, that in some Places the Water is deep: and might it not be so in that? |
A47605 | Is it not sad, that you should give cause to your Children to think they are guilty of Perjury? |
A47605 | Is it not said, They went both down into the Water, both Philip and the Eunuch, and he( that is, Philip) baptized or dipped him? |
A47605 | Is it then a shameful Scandal to neglect a Tradition of Man? |
A47605 | Is not God''s Word to be our Rule in all Points of Faith and Practice, to the End of the World? |
A47605 | Is not the Son of a Free- man a Free- man as well as his Father? |
A47605 | Is not the Woman comprehended as clearly as the Man? |
A47605 | Is not the whole Mind of Jesus Christ, even all his Laws and Precepts, or his whole Counsel plainly contained in his blessed Word? |
A47605 | Is not this to blind the Eyes of poor People, and make them think that an external Ordinance saves the Soul? |
A47605 | Is not this to heal the hurt of your People slightly, and to cry, Peace, Peace, when there is no Peace? |
A47605 | Is this an Answer? |
A47605 | Is this indeed the Love you Pedo- baptists have to your poor Infants? |
A47605 | Know ye not that so many of you that have been baptized into Christ, were baptized into his Death? |
A47605 | Might not I state another Argument as good as yours, nay, may be better, yet both prove nothing? |
A47605 | Must we believe God''s Word, or a lying Traveller? |
A47605 | Nay, and were it so, all that are baptized would be saved; Shall one Soul who passes through Regeneration miss of Salvation? |
A47605 | Nay, if 〈 ◊ 〉 was by my Great- Grandfather, will not that do, as well as if my mo ● ● 〈 ◊ 〉 Father was ▪ in Covenant with God? |
A47605 | Nay, may be they might say they had not the other to do it, and therefore built their Altars of Brick: but would this Pretence do? |
A47605 | Nay, more, be so bold as to say, these are more useful, and answer better the End of God, than those which he himself instituted? |
A47605 | Nay, or that it was made to Abraham''s Spiritual Seed? |
A47605 | Nevertheless, which saith the Scripture? |
A47605 | Now how doth this appear in Infants as such, as it does in Believers? |
A47605 | Now must this be a Covenant of Faith or Grace? |
A47605 | Now what Arminianism is here fomented, if once you say or think they are capable to perform this Obligation? |
A47605 | Now what need is there that the same thing be repeated over again in the New- Testament? |
A47605 | Now( say you) is not this a pure Gospel- Phrase, and shews it to be a Covenant with Abraham in Christ? |
A47605 | O Sir, what Priviledges had the Gentiles or their Children then? |
A47605 | Or a dogmatical Faith only, as in Mr. Blake''s sense? |
A47605 | Or are you not to be justly blamed thus to jumble things confusedly together? |
A47605 | Or is it an imputative Faith from the Parents, as Musculus, you, and others maintain? |
A47605 | Or is it the Faith of the Gossips or Sureties, as your Church says, i. e. others believe for them? |
A47605 | Or is not Original Pollution a Filth of the Flesh? |
A47605 | Or might there not be a great Confluence of Water then,( as Dr. Hammond words it) and yet but little or shallow Water now, or when Sandys was there? |
A47605 | Or, dare you say, our New Testament is not authentick, or sufficient to teach us the whole of Gospel- Duties and Obedience, without the Jewish Talmud? |
A47605 | Or, doth it follow, because the Clothes were buried, the Body of the Man or Woman was not buried also? |
A47605 | Or, were they Infants that Christ is said to carry in his Bosom? |
A47605 | Ought not we to keep the Ordinances as they were first instituted and given to the Saints? |
A47605 | Ought 〈 ◊ 〉, nay, may they lawfully M ● rry, this being considered, and such drea ● ● ul 〈 ◊ 〉 following? |
A47605 | Pray, did God by Moses give forth any Law, or positive Rite or Precept so darkly, that it could not be proved but by Consequences? |
A47605 | Pray, was that Custom among the Jews, of Baptizing Infants, when any of the Gentiles were admitted into the Jewish Church, commanded of God? |
A47605 | Pray, what became of the Jews Female Infants, were they damned? |
A47605 | Reply; How doth it appear the Infants of the Godly before Abraham''s time, had any right to visible Church- Membership? |
A47605 | Should we not all unite together in Love and Affection, and strive to promote Peace and Concord, and not tear one another in pieces after this manner? |
A47605 | Should you dictate to your earthly Prince, would he allow it? |
A47605 | Sir, What think you now of the Testimony of the Ancient Fathers, and of the Practice of the Churches after the Apostles days? |
A47605 | Sir, must we believe it is so, because you speak and write it? |
A47605 | Sir, what think you now of your Jewish Custom, of baptizing the Heathens and their Children who were admitted to their Church? |
A47605 | Sir, who questions the Power of God, who is a free Agent, and may do what he pleases? |
A47605 | Sir, you are to be rectified, Do we deny the Omnipotency of the holy Spirit? |
A47605 | Speak; Doth Baptism take away Original Sin, or free them of that Malady, or not? |
A47605 | That Sin by the Commandment( or Law) might become exceeding sinful? |
A47605 | The Apostle resolves them, that they ought not; for, saith he, The unbelieving Wife is sanctified to the believing Husband: how sanctified? |
A47605 | Therefore we are buried with him in Baptism, into his Death,& c. Else what shall they do, that are baptized for the Dead, if the Dead rise not? |
A47605 | This is like the rest: But, Sir, by what Authority do you assert all these things? |
A47605 | To contemn this Order, is to contemn the Rules of all Order; for where can we find it, if not here? |
A47605 | To which I reply ▪ How dare any Man to seal the Covenant of Salvation to such, who have not that Faith Abraham had before he received that Seal? |
A47605 | To whom shall I give Credit, to Eliezar, who asserts what the Scripture confirms; or to Joshua, who affirms what is no where to be found in Scripture? |
A47605 | VVere not the Saints to keep the Ordinances( and commanded so to do) as they were first delivered to them? |
A47605 | Was ever any Man thus bold before? |
A47605 | Was not Baptism in full force from the time that John received it from Heaven, and administred it on the People? |
A47605 | Was not Simon Magus baptized? |
A47605 | Was the Royal Grant made so, that it included Ishmael and Esau? |
A47605 | Was this the Privilege of any save Abraham only? |
A47605 | We ought to go to the Original Copy, to the Primitive, or first Institution and Practice; Is not Christ''s Precept our only Rule? |
A47605 | Were it not thus, how could we deny or oppose the Papists seven Sacraments? |
A47605 | Were not the Jews Female Children saved? |
A47605 | Were the Promises and Priviledges of the Covenant of Grace belonging to them? |
A47605 | Were there none among the Gentiles, think you, in the Old- Testament- time, that were Believers and Godly Persons? |
A47605 | Were there not many other Rites and Ordinances under the Law, or Old Testament, besides Circumcision? |
A47605 | Were they in Covenant, as they are the Natural- Seed of Believers? |
A47605 | What Advantage then hath th ● Jew? |
A47605 | What Credit is to be given to such Fathers? |
A47605 | What Figure of a Burial of Christ, or of the Old Man, is there in sprinkling a few Drops of Water on a Person''s Face? |
A47605 | What can be a more full Confutation of what you affirm? |
A47605 | What can be more plain? |
A47605 | What difference is there between much Water, and many Waters? |
A47605 | What if I agree with the last, and say, Abraham is the Root? |
A47605 | What if 〈 ◊ 〉 that no Ordinance succeeds in the room of Circumcision? |
A47605 | What is not commanded, I say again, is forbid, especially in all Instituted Worship, or else whither shall we run? |
A47605 | What is this your Argument good for? |
A47605 | What need we have Wine? |
A47605 | What saith Almighty God? |
A47605 | What then, were not Grave- Clothes always buried with the Person that was laid in the Grave? |
A47605 | What then? |
A47605 | What then? |
A47605 | What though the one be a Sacrament of Initiation, and the other of Confirmation? |
A47605 | What 〈 ◊ 〉 had there been for them so to have done, had Baptism been Sprinkling? |
A47605 | When God commanded Abraham to circumcise on the eighth day, did he not virtually forbid him to do it on the seventh or ninth day? |

A47605 | Where is the Spirit of Reformation? |
A47605 | Where is the extream Vnction forbid, or Auricular Confession, or to use Beads in Prayer, and a hundred more such Romish Popperies? |
A47605 | Whether the Children of Belie ● ● rs are in the Covenant of Grace absolutely, or but conditionally? |
A47605 | Whether the being the male Children of Abraham, as such, gave them a right to Circumcision, or not rather the mere positive Command of God to Abraham? |
A47605 | Whither will this lead you? |
A47605 | Who commanded you this way to dedicate your Children to the Lord? |
A47605 | Who taught you thus to argue, what do you prove? |
A47605 | Why do you not from hence give Infants the Lord''s Supper? |
A47605 | Why do you say of no Rite but this? |
A47605 | Why may not the Infants of Unbelievers have the same habitual Faith, as well as the Infants of Believers? |
A47605 | Why might not Ministers plead for all their Sons to have right to the Ministry, since that Priviledg was given them in the Old- Testament? |
A47605 | Why our Saviour did not particularly name Infants when he instituted Baptism in the room of Circumcision? |
A47605 | Will you make Baptism their Saviour? |
A47605 | Will you teach him Wisdom? |
A47605 | Will you, Sir, build your practice of baptizing of little Babes from such uncertain Conclusions, when''t is uncertain whether she had Children or no? |
A47605 | Would it not be a miraculous thing to see a Babe of two or ten days old, to have such Knowledg of God and of Jesus Christ? |
A47605 | You ask many Questions, Why may not this be so: and, Why may not that be so? |
A47605 | You have no Warrant to baptize a Child; but who of the Anabaptists ever said such words as you here mention? |
A47605 | You may after this rate bring them under an hundred Engagements and Covenants, nay, may be more plausible ones too, may you not? |
A47605 | You may be as capable to be a Justice of Peace( as far as I know) as you are to be a Preacher? |
A47605 | You say the Church of England is for Infant- Baptism, Article 27. also the French, Dutch, Bohemian, Helvetian Churches: What of all this? |
A47605 | You say, the Adult are here intended; we say so too: Whither then will you go for your Infants Right to Baptism? |
A47605 | and did not Christ, by the hands of his Disciples, baptize many Persons? |
A47605 | and do you not acknowledg in the Primitive Times, and in hot Countries, Baptism was done by Dipping? |
A47605 | and do you say, the Ordinance better suits with ignorant Babes? |
A47605 | and his own Practice our sure and certain Pattern? |
A47605 | and shall the Church refuse to receive all such into her Imbraces? |
A47605 | are these thy Teachers, O England?] |
A47605 | as Members of the visible Church, what ground have you to believe God will hear you, since he never made them Members thereof? |
A47605 | but if it were so, Do you think it was their Duty to circumcise them? |
A47605 | but if they do not do it, woe be to them? |
A47605 | but what Root? |
A47605 | ca n''t you take a Woman by the Hand without having unclean Thoughts in your Heart? |
A47605 | can Baptism save them? |
A47605 | can Infants do that? |
A47605 | change his Law and holy Ordinance, and substitute another thing in its stead and room? |
A47605 | dare you accuse your Neighbours falsly? |
A47605 | doth he require you so to do? |
A47605 | doth it not belong to the Gentiles too? |
A47605 | is it then in the Power of Parents to save or damn their Children? |
A47605 | is not the case mended with us? |
A47605 | is this Sin the damning Sin? |
A47605 | may these things be therefore done? |
A47605 | may you therefore give forth Warrants, and exercise that Office? |
A47605 | must all that die in their Infancy go to Hell for an Impossibility? |
A47605 | nay, more Disciples than John? |
A47605 | no not from the time of John Baptist, to the Death of John the Evangelist? |
A47605 | or condemn Salt, Oil Spittle to be used in Baptism, which they use in it, seeing these are not forbid? |
A47605 | or do you pray God would work Miracles? |
A47605 | or if he does, who will or can believe him? |
A47605 | or if she had, whether they were with her at that time or not? |
A47605 | or take His great Ordinance and Sacrament of Baptism from the superstitious, fabulous and erronious Custom of their Doctors and Rabbins? |
A47605 | or they have been born with, in pleading, it might as well answer Circumcision in Signification? |
A47605 | or what Profit is there in Circumcision? |
A47605 | or what Representation is there in that Act of a Resurrection? |
A47605 | or what Seal had they? |
A47605 | or who made that a Channel of Grace to dying Infants? |
A47605 | or, are you wiser than he? |
A47605 | pray, was not that a hot Country? |
A47605 | set Baptizing before Teaching? |
A47605 | sure, as considered in themselves, they are: and why then may they not be baptized also? |
A47605 | that they ought to baptize their Children, who did not know nor ever heard of that Jewish Custom? |
A47605 | that those Men and Women who were baptized, did subject to Laying on of Hands, being Believers, as such? |
A47605 | the Church came together on the first Day of the Week to break Bread? |
A47605 | the truth is, if Circumcision availed nothing, but was a Yoke of Bondage, then why should that stumble them? |
A47605 | they were not circumcised; and were not their Male Infants saved, who died before the eighth Day? |
A47605 | was it not in Judea, the same Country our Saviour lived when on Earth? |
A47605 | was that a Mark to know he was a Sheep of Christ? |
A47605 | was that the thing, or is it not another Act? |
A47605 | were but Infants capable of Knowledg, how much would they dread being born of wicked Parents? |
A47605 | what Priviledge of the Church do you allow them? |
A47605 | what hopes hath the impious prophane and ungodly Parent of the Salvation of his dying Children? |
A47605 | what is the difference between Holy and sanctified? |
A47605 | which Blessing belonged to them under the Law, and also plead for the Tenths and First- fruits? |
A47605 | whither would this lead us? |
A47605 | why did you not put in the Church of Rome with them? |
A47605 | why the Faith of the immediate Parents? |

A26959 | 19,& c. Visible Church- membership what it is? |
A26959 | 2. the saying of Osiander, Fuller, Bullinger, that the Donatists and the Anabaptists held the same opinions? |
A26959 | 3. and Christ''s words to the Sons of Thunder, ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of? |
A26959 | Again he tells us of Thuanus, and tells not where, as if we must read over five volumes in folio to be able to disprove such a Tale- teller as this? |
A26959 | And I pray you tell me yet a little better, how an act can make a man a Church- member that was one long before that was done? |
A26959 | And are not the Independents more against Traditions now than the Britains were? |
A26959 | And are these Waldenses and this man to he believed of them too? |
A26959 | And are they therefore Anabaptists? |
A26959 | And are we therefore against Infant- baptism? |
A26959 | And can Mr. Danvers now tell us that they held that which for a thousand years hath lain unknown? |
A26959 | And can we think that Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea and many more, were not timerous faint- hearted Christians? |
A26959 | And consider whether you deny not Christ in Infancy to have been the Son of God according to his humane nature? |
A26959 | And could it not be the Instrument of conveying right to them as soon as they were born? |
A26959 | And did former Laws oblige to Circumcision till Christ? |
A26959 | And did the man think that this is any thing to his purpose? |
A26959 | And did they not Plead Tradition for their difference from Rome? |
A26959 | And did they not thereby profess to take God for their God? |
A26959 | And do we live upon these terms, that any Railer can call us off from our better services when ever He and Satan please? |
A26959 | And do you call a man[ lost] that loseth the thoughts or the breath of man? |
A26959 | And do you damn all Infants? |
A26959 | And do you gather by Gildas that they were such as you dream? |
A26959 | And do you think this the common sense of the word? |
A26959 | And doth Mr. D. the great enemy of Antichrist perswade poor Anabaptists to believe such fellows and tales as these? |
A26959 | And doth he think that Antichrist was before Tertullians time? |
A26959 | And doth it follow( in despite of their own professions and practises) that all these and the rest such, were against Infant- Baptism? |
A26959 | And doth not he that saith there is no law, say there is no transgression? |
A26959 | And doth that prove that Mr. Wills knew it, who never saith, that he ever saw Cluniacensis book? |
A26959 | And have we here any honester dealing than before? |
A26959 | And how audacious to talk thus of what he knoweth not? |
A26959 | And how proveth he this? |
A26959 | And if Cyprian was Antichristian, where then was the Church of Christ? |
A26959 | And if they say as he reporteth, they belied the Donatists; and why then should I believe them? |
A26959 | And if they understand, they must have grief or pleasure: But who can know more than God revealeth? |
A26959 | And indeed is this all at the upshot? |
A26959 | And is it a contradiction to say that a doctrine that hath Plain Proof, may be assaulted by difficult ob ● ections? |
A26959 | And is it no benefit in it self besides the consequents to be visibly united and related to Christ and his body? |
A26959 | And is it not shame and pity that so publick matters of fact must be handled at this rate? |
A26959 | And is not the cause in order of nature, though not of time before the effect? |
A26959 | And is not this worthy of your zeal? |
A26959 | And is there a syllable in this story that Infant- baptism is concerned in? |
A26959 | And is there no intimation in this that Seth was an Infant member of the visible Church? |
A26959 | And is this a good proof for Prideaux to tell you what a forged writing saith, which Crab and Binius and Bellarmine eject or take for false? |
A26959 | And is this a witness against Infant- baptism? |
A26959 | And is this loathing, and opposition and fighting against truth the way to know it? |
A26959 | And it was Cresconius words to Austin[ Vna Religio, eadem Sacramenta, nihil in Christiana observatione diversum:& adhuc adversus invicem laboramus? |
A26959 | And might not right have been falsly pleadded or usurped by a counterfeit Jew? |
A26959 | And must he be believed against Wickliff? |
A26959 | And must we know of Mr. Tombes what Dr. Hammond held? |
A26959 | And now where is this mans clear proof that the Britains were Anabaptists? |
A26959 | And so of the Infants if they were sold in Infancy? |
A26959 | And so should every repenting believing Jews Infants be Church- members? |
A26959 | And suffer his Church to be wrong framed till now? |
A26959 | And tell me Sir, for what prize or gain do you think I am lost with all my friends? |
A26959 | And that all the ancient writers and Churches sinned that so spake?] |
A26959 | And that he maketh final impenitence the sin against the Holy Ghost; And that none can know what sin is mortal in us, and what not? |
A26959 | And the English Nonconformists too? |
A26959 | And then indeed Where was our Church and the Kingdom of Christ before Luther, or rather before those whom he opposed? |
A26959 | And then what brought in your denial of spiritual membership to the non- elect? |
A26959 | And then what was the physical act which is called Gods taking? |
A26959 | And then, how can you say that any Infants shall be damned, or not saved? |
A26959 | And though under the most extraordinary necessities of avoiding marriage, he find such confirmation of his Resolutions needful? |
A26959 | And to the next qu ● stion, Whether Infants unbaptized when Baptism could not be had, be all damned? |
A26959 | And unchurch almost all the Churches on Earth? |
A26959 | And was it not a Moral Donation then, if it gave Right? |
A26959 | And was not the Church before Christs incarnation a society of faithful men, when yet you confess that Infants were visible parts of is? |
A26959 | And were not the Scots then of their mind, and as much against Traditions as they? |
A26959 | And what a lamentable confusion are we now brought into by these? |
A26959 | And what a poor put off to the point in hand? |
A26959 | And what doth he but hence take advantage to tell the world how loose my doctrine was, and what sinful persons I thought had grace? |
A26959 | And what hole was it that I came out of, with their Indulgence? |
A26959 | And what if one give land to you and your heirs? |
A26959 | And what is here of Infant- Baptism? |
A26959 | And what meaneth the man in labouring to prove it? |
A26959 | And what right or hope doth this give to Christians for their Children more than Pagans? |
A26959 | And what say they? |
A26959 | And what use was here for a plea from Tradition for Infant- baptism, which was not denied? |
A26959 | And what will the Papists desire more? |
A26959 | And what''s that to prove, that he was against Infant- Baptism? |
A26959 | And what''s this to the question of Infant- Baptism? |
A26959 | And what''s this 〈 ◊ 〉 our controversie? |
A26959 | And whether God call not them that are visible members to that state? |
A26959 | And whether I may not as groundedly make a fact sufficient for this purpose of the acts of an hundred or two hundred years only? |
A26959 | And whether he like his other reason, Quid festinat innocens aetas ad remissionem peccatorum? |
A26959 | And whether he that saith, There is no Law of God binding to do thus for his children, do not infer that they sin not by not doing it? |
A26959 | And whether it be lawful for me to take all sorts then living for lyars, rather than this one man that hath written us such a book? |
A26959 | And whether none but the Elect are visible members? |
A26959 | And whether they received not the Scriptures and Religion as certainly from the Asiatick Churches, and so from the Apostles, as the Britains did? |
A26959 | And whether they that dare use souls at this rate, are so much better than us, as to be above our communion? |
A26959 | And whether this will prove that at that time they were against Infant- Baptism? |
A26959 | And whether you may not as well make all the acts from Abrahams call till Christ to be one fact, and assign it to this office? |
A26959 | And whom is this against, me or him? |
A26959 | And why have we no satisfactory answer to these things so oft replyed? |
A26959 | And why might not this Covenant[ I will save my Elect] be made with Cain, or Cham, or Judas, as well as with Abraham? |
A26959 | And why not also from all the rest that have written against me? |
A26959 | And why should my impartiality in acknowledging the Churches liberty as to the time of Baptism, at first, be so unkindly received? |
A26959 | And why talketh he of this one reason against him in so publick a matter of History? |
A26959 | And why then do they not insist only on the Argument and neglect the Author? |
A26959 | And why? |
A26959 | And will not the Reader be satisfied with these concessions? |
A26959 | And will not the ungodly put in for the like hopes? |
A26959 | And would not renouncing God have cut them off? |
A26959 | And would their seed then have had any right for being theirs? |
A26959 | And yet is Infant- Baptism a sin?) |
A26959 | And yet just now, Church- membership in Israel was a thing that none could usurp, or have without right? |
A26959 | And yet were all the Britains then of another mind? |
A26959 | And yet were the old Britains against Infant- Baptism? |
A26959 | Annon gravis demolitio ista? |
A26959 | Annon opera vulpium haec?] |
A26959 | Are all Protestants against Infant- baptism, that are against the Popish Sacrament of Confirmation? |
A26959 | Are these likely means to propagate truth? |
A26959 | Are they all excluded? |
A26959 | Are they worse than their Parents? |
A26959 | Are you really for Rebaptizing; and are you justifying it? |
A26959 | As the Sichemites must do, so other nations must do: For what priviledge had the children of the Sichemites above the rest of the world? |
A26959 | Before any such accusations on the Albigenses? |
A26959 | But ask the man whether Asia it self long before the dayes of Gregory had not Infant- Baptism? |
A26959 | But did they say that the Novatians were against Infant- Baptism? |
A26959 | But do you write a book to prove the Tradition of Adult Baptism from Christs time to ours, and when you have done renounce and scorn it? |
A26959 | But how came Dr. Prideaux so to mistake? |
A26959 | But how far might this have extended? |
A26959 | But if I have lost so much as you intimate, you would perswade me that my service is more than I take it to be? |
A26959 | But if it had, I ask, was it no mercy to be a member both of the Jews Church and the universal? |
A26959 | But if they had, would that prove that the Novatians were, seven hundred or eight hundred years before? |
A26959 | But it is others that he tells it to ▪ Those others will read my own words or, they will not? |
A26959 | But must they therefore be so used by all? |
A26959 | But see the misery of a Sectarian spirit, that taketh it for a contradiction to be a friend to Calvin and Arminius both? |
A26959 | But what all this is to the case of Infant- baptism, what man besides himself can tell? |
A26959 | But what doth he mean by[ sheltering my self in a storm in their tents]? |
A26959 | But what if that Council had so accused Bruis and Arnold, are they to be( believed of them? |
A26959 | But what is all this to Infant- baptism? |
A26959 | But what is it then? |
A26959 | But what is that to Infant- baptism? |
A26959 | But what man else could have gathered, that then this must be the only or chief end, and more in Gods eye than the saving of a sinner? |
A26959 | But what need we ask Cassander what Guitmund said? |
A26959 | But what shall we be agreed in that are ignorant and differ here? |
A26959 | But who but the Owners of the child are capable of making such a promise? |
A26959 | But who can answer words not cited? |
A26959 | Can you prove any Roman Ordination of it before all these? |
A26959 | Church, that used Reliques so strangely for working miracles? |
A26959 | Could a Bishop of so great a City and Diocess have been against Infant- baptism and none to be able to prove it, even in envious accusations? |
A26959 | Could he be in such a station as he was, and have so many writings, and so many adversaries, and yet hold such an opinion and never be suspected? |
A26959 | Could you think now that you did not cheat your poor Reader, if partiality had not shut one of your eyes? |
A26959 | Dare you maintain that all the world is sinless in this respect? |
A26959 | Did Nicephorus write in Dutch? |
A26959 | Did he tell the Reader where by one( in any words) I contradict the other? |
A26959 | Did he think that it was flatly unlawful for maids and young widdows to be Baptized? |
A26959 | Did not I know what I had written till he told me? |
A26959 | Did nothing in Christ himself in Infancy agree with visible membership? |
A26959 | Did the Nonconformists shelter me? |
A26959 | Did the bringing out of Aegypt concur to make Moses a Church- member when he was in the basket on the waters? |
A26959 | Did they not precisely observe Easter, and place Religion in keeping it on their own dayes? |
A26959 | Did they not use the Asiatick Ceremonies? |
A26959 | Do the Anabaptists no better own their cause? |
A26959 | Do they know what[ a transeunt fact is, that without Law or Covenant makes Church- members?] |
A26959 | Do they say that those fifteen are all? |
A26959 | Do you and your Companions know that you are renouncing your Baptism, and Christianity, and the Cross of Christ, while you would rebaptize us all? |
A26959 | Do you believe that our union with the visible Church as such, and participation in its priviledges, is none of that Grace? |
A26959 | Do you know the History of the Council of Calcedon and Dioscorus, and the Nestorians? |
A26959 | Do you know what most Protestants think that hear them? |
A26959 | Do you think it is to get other friends that I more value? |
A26959 | Doth God say, that the seed of the righteous are not blessed till they come to age? |
A26959 | Doth Mr. D. himself know it, of a book never read? |
A26959 | Doth a dumb man signifie his consent to the Covenant by any signs or not? |
A26959 | Doth it not rather imply that there was no controversie between him and the Britains about Infant- Baptism, seeing he never mentioned any such thing? |
A26959 | Doth not the promise give them an established right in this blessing? |
A26959 | Doth that prove that others were not baptized in Infancy? |
A26959 | Doth the word[ taking] signifie a meer physical taking or fact; or a moral, such as among men we call, a civil action? |
A26959 | Elsewhere indeed Socrates and many more say so: But doth that prove they were against Infant- baptism? |
A26959 | Even teach men so to do, and say It is no Sacriledge? |
A26959 | For doubtless Marriage is a sin accidentally to some, though not in its own nature, and far from being a duty to all? |
A26959 | From what, and how? |
A26959 | HAve you well considered of the fruit of your ways apparent in England and Ireland at this day? |
A26959 | HOw prove you that it was a blemish to the old frame, that Infants were members? |
A26959 | Had it not been for the Separatists and you? |
A26959 | Had not the Conformists tents been likelier? |
A26959 | Had the Apostles so little charity as not to endeavour to rectifie any of their errors? |
A26959 | Had they not Bishops, and were they not Monks? |
A26959 | Had you or I more hand in these matters? |
A26959 | Hath not many a Minister among us been so accused? |

A26959 | He addeth[ Sometimes a violent impugner of Popery, and yet at last who hath spoken more in favour of it?] |
A26959 | He did not publish this his opinion, but held it unpublished: And how then did Guitmund know it? |
A26959 | He feigneth this to be said of the Waldenses, which is expresly said in the history to be spoken of the Manichees? |
A26959 | He knoweth that Cluniacensis — hath given no such wicked and false testimony,& c. And how proveth he that? |
A26959 | He that would not consent to the Covenant was by Asa to be put to death: And was not Circumcision a covenanting act? |

A26959 | How proveth he that that was meant by the Roman manner or fashion of Baptizing? |
A26959 | How shall I know that they will any more read the last than the first? |
A26959 | How weak a minded mother art thou, and of how little faith? |
A26959 | I say, do they know this? |
A26959 | I take a visible Church- member to be a visible member of Christ as Head of the Church and of his Church as visible? |
A26959 | I will not turn to see whether it be so ▪ but what''s this to the purpose? |
A26959 | I would desire him if he can, to tell me, whether both Cain and Abel were not visible Church- members in Adams family? |
A26959 | IF unbelief brake them off, will not repentance graff them in? |
A26959 | IN what regard is the new frame bettered by casting out Infants which were in the old? |
A26959 | IT is a thing that all are not duely informed of, How far Controversial Writings and Disputes are to be practised by pious and peaceable men? |
A26959 | If God had made no other Law, Promise or Covenant, with the adult, but[ I will save whom I will save] who would have taken this for a Law or Covenant? |
A26959 | If besides those that Gods Laws condemn or justifie, God will save many in a neutral state, why may he not, saith the ungodly, save me also? |
A26959 | If bitter Papists so accuse him, is it therefore true? |
A26959 | If by writing, is not the act transeunt? |
A26959 | If he be to be believed in this, why not in the first article, of the lawfulness of abusing all women commonly? |
A26959 | If he did, then how much more flagitious is his practice, thus to tell the world an untruth so notorious to himself? |
A26959 | If he did, was he against it then? |
A26959 | If he hold not the contrary doctrines, why doth he exclaim against mine, as heynous? |
A26959 | If he rejoyce in these Witnesses, is here a word of Infant- baptism? |
A26959 | If he understand not Latine, how unfit is he to give us the History of these antiquities? |
A26959 | If it be by voice, is not that transeunt? |
A26959 | If it be this same, then how comes a meer transeunt fact to work effectually so many hundred years after it is past? |
A26959 | If it were asked what benefit had the Circumcision? |
A26959 | If not, how is he one of these covenanting and separated people? |
A26959 | If not, the Jews lost nothing by being broken off? |
A26959 | If not, what a man is this that dare talk thus confidently and falsly of what he knew not? |
A26959 | If not, what did the man think that a recitation should do with me? |
A26959 | If not, what meaneth[ barely] but the nakedness of your ill cause? |
A26959 | If not, why cheat you your simple followers by this talk? |
A26959 | If not, why cite you instances of Rebaptizers? |
A26959 | If not, why will it prove the same of the Britains? |
A26959 | If the case were, whether the Lords Supper might be Administred with Beer, or Milk, where there is no Wine? |
A26959 | If therefore God have made general promises as to age and person, who is he that dare limit it, without just proof that indeed God hath limited it? |
A26959 | If this prove that the Waldenses were against Infant- Baptism, it will prove that Papists, Protestants and all are so? |
A26959 | If we be but such Antichristians say they, as holy Cyprian and the primitive Churches were, we will prefer it before the Anabaptists Christianity? |
A26959 | If yea, how did the Christians Children forfeit it? |
A26959 | If you do, we are agreed, and why contend you? |
A26959 | If you except Liberty, Health, Life, you are hypocrites: And can you except Children? |
A26959 | In all things or some? |
A26959 | In what? |
A26959 | Infants have none of these in act, and yet who doubteth but Infants are members of the Kingdom( of every Kingdom under Heaven that I have read of?) |
A26959 | Is Dallaeus that hath written so large a disputation of Confirmation, an Anabaptist? |
A26959 | Is all this then no promise, but a transeunt fact? |
A26959 | Is dipping any thing to the case of Infants? |
A26959 | Is here a word that he was against Infant- baptism? |
A26959 | Is it a physical action though a moral causation of some physical effect? |
A26959 | Is it at all by the Covenant as Evangelical? |
A26959 | Is it like that God will bless such unmanly scandals, to the Churches good? |
A26959 | Is it mens praise or good thoughts of me? |
A26959 | Is it not so as to the Jews policie and peculiarity? |
A26959 | Is it not so? |
A26959 | Is it the Papists? |
A26959 | Is not Church- membership contained in, Gods being their God, and taking them for his people thus in Covenant? |
A26959 | Is not the Action ut agentis naturally antecedent to it as in patiente? |
A26959 | Is not this an excellent Prover? |
A26959 | Is that a point that they differed from all the Apostolick Church in? |
A26959 | Is the poor Church to be thus abused, and holy things thus played with? |
A26959 | Is the subject of Baptism, the Manner? |
A26959 | Is this a good witness that the Waldenses were against Infant- Baptism? |
A26959 | Is this a safe ground to build so great a weight on? |
A26959 | Is this establishing Covenant on Promise but a transeunt fact? |
A26959 | Jews Infants should be members and not Genties? |
A26959 | Just as Wickliff ▪ Judge now of this mans words? |
A26959 | Keturahs children were Church- members in infancy: I enquire of you by what act they were made such? |
A26959 | Let him shew you if he can, where or when I have changed my judgement about Conformity, or exprest a change since 1640? |
A26959 | Let him tell you where and when I ever defended that Episcopacy which I had opposed? |
A26959 | Long before what? |
A26959 | Lot came out of Ur with Abraham, yea, and from Haran, and lived with him: were not Lot and his Infants Church- members then? |
A26959 | Mark Reader, what an issue our Controversies with these men come to? |
A26959 | Me thinks these Professions should put off the chief matter of offence and exception against each other, as to the ill consequents of our opinions? |
A26959 | Mr. T. can not see how this promise can be repealed: what, not an universal promising Law, or Covenant or Instrument? |
A26959 | Much more that this calumny should be thus over and over audaciously justified? |
A26959 | Must such dealing as this go for an answer? |
A26959 | Must the Christendom of Kingdoms be impetuously questioned by men that know not such rudiments as these? |
A26959 | Must we read all his works again to see if there be such a word, as oft as such a man will talk to us at this rate? |
A26959 | Neither do we say that Infants are learners in actu exercito; and so what is this to the matter? |
A26959 | No such thing in the Asiaticks Churches? |
A26959 | No wonder if all Christians Infants must be shut out, if Innocent Adams must have been shut out? |
A26959 | No wonder therefore if Augustin so long after say that no Christian taketh it to be in vain? |
A26959 | No, but by the Priests and Worshippers? |
A26959 | None of them in Infancy? |
A26959 | None of this ever came into my thoughts which he untruly saith I drive at,& c. What sober man could imagine either of these assertions? |
A26959 | Now do you think that the reason of Physical Qualities and Moral Rights, Relations and duties is the same? |
A26959 | O cease from man whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of? |
A26959 | O wh ● t pleasure is this to Papists? |
A26959 | O what a Church might we have had, and were likely to have had? |
A26959 | O what work have you made your self? |
A26959 | Or have you not seen enough to make you suspect and fear whether indeed God own your way or not? |
A26959 | Or how could it be any part of the cause? |
A26959 | Or is he not concerned in the donation at all? |
A26959 | Or shall he have that gift absolutely which is conditional to all others? |
A26959 | Or that Christs Church then and now are of two frames in regard of the subjects age? |
A26959 | Or that it shall be one of a million at least that shall not? |
A26959 | Or the children of Apostates? |
A26959 | Or the children of such? |
A26959 | Or the profession of a saving faith? |
A26959 | Or was Hinomarus against adult Communion because envy said he let some die without it? |
A26959 | Or whether Baptism might be Administred by Milk or Wine, where there is no water? |
A26959 | Or why should God promise it as a new thing? |
A26959 | Prove what you say by any words of mine? |
A26959 | Quid fidelius? |
A26959 | Quis hoc dixerit? |
A26959 | Reader, How big a volume wouldst thou have me write in answering such stuff as this? |
A26959 | Reader, are not the Anabaptists ductile men where they like, as well as intractable where they dislike, that they will follow such a Leader as this? |
A26959 | Reader, dost thou not marvail to find him so plead for me against himself, or speak nothing to the case? |
A26959 | Reader, is here a syllable against Infant- baptism? |
A26959 | Reader, is not all here unsaid again by this concession? |
A26959 | Reader, will not this kind o ● arguing make thee an Anabaptist? |
A26959 | Saith Austin, Quare ergo rebaptizas Christianum? |
A26959 | See Reader, how he valueth his own work? |
A26959 | See here what a witness he hath brought? |
A26959 | See how he feareth not to make reports of the dead by this hearsay? |
A26959 | See how this accuser proveth Lyes? |
A26959 | Shall I answer them that never speak or write to me? |
A26959 | Shall I take this mans accusation for a confutation or conviction? |
A26959 | Shall he be certainly shut out unto damnation? |
A26959 | Shall we not have one true word? |
A26959 | Should one ask him whom he heard this from, do you think we should get a satisfying answer? |
A26959 | Si haberi foris potest, etiam dari cur non potest? |
A26959 | So that our enquiry must be, whether the Congregation and the Commonwealth be the same thing in your sense?] |
A26959 | So they use to say, that Death and the Grave are sanctified by Christ: How? |
A26959 | Speak once like a man: And was not that till the fourth Century? |
A26959 | Stay Reader a little, and tell me whether it call not for shame and tears that one such Book should be written by a Christian? |
A26959 | Still such untruths? |
A26959 | Such as I believe the Sun never saw, nor the wisest Lawyer in England ever read before? |
A26959 | THE next Question that I spould speak to is, whether these Laws, or Covenants, or Promises, are capable of a revocation, or repeal? |
A26959 | That Infants unbaptized are damned; which in charity he thinks is to be denyed: And what''s this against their Baptism? |
A26959 | That Tertullians words prove that Infant- Baptism was then in use: And it is the matter of fact that we are searching after? |
A26959 | That all Infants are made Church- members by it, did any of us ever affirm? |
A26959 | That believers must be baptized in pure water,( And what are these to the purpose?) |
A26959 | That died a Martyr for Christ; 4. Who is so great a part of the pure antiquity; that if you cast him away, what will the rest be for a great time? |
A26959 | That either Christ did not joyn with the Jews in worship which had Musick( in the Temple) or else he sinned in so doing? |
A26959 | That is, None would make schisms if they were not blinded by the hatred of their brethren: Is there not the hatred of brethren in Schism? |
A26959 | That it is no wrong to Ignorant Christians to put such whimsies and scruples into their heads? |
A26959 | That it was not whether Infants should be Baptized that was the question, but whether it should be done before the eighth day? |
A26959 | That most of them speak to the Question[ What is the kind of Covenant consent required in baptism? |
A26959 | The Pope bids Baptize Infants: Ergo not only the Manichees but the Waldenses denyed it? |
A26959 | The adult blemish the Church with more carnal sins than Infants do? |
A26959 | The adult come in by the same kind of consent for themselves, as they make for their Infants? |
A26959 | The adult have souls and bodies, and so have Infants? |
A26959 | The eighth question,[ Which are the Texts of Scripture that contain or express the said laws, precepts, or grants which I maintain?] |
A26959 | The fifth question,[ Whether there be such precepts and promises as you grant,( or as I shall prove) which yet make not Infants Church- members?] |
A26959 | The first question in order fit to be resolved is,[ whether Infants before Christs incarnation were Church- members, or not?] |
A26959 | The ninth question,[ Whether such laws, preceps or grants as I shall prove, are capable of a repal or revocation?] |
A26959 | The second question and the first resolved, is[ what Church it is that Infants were members of?] |
A26959 | The seventh question,[ Whether those which you have assigned be such facts?] |
A26959 | The tenth question,[ Whether they are actually revoked or repealed?] |
A26959 | The third question is, what it is that gives the Israelites that denomination of[ the Congregation of Israel] of which Infants were members? |
A26959 | This is not the Controversie: Is your judgement alike right of persons as of Doctrines? |
A26959 | To the Minor, If his bare affirmation would prove that Infants were not to be baptized, what need he write his books? |
A26959 | Utterly false: And how doth he prove it? |
A26959 | WAs not Christs Church before his incarnation spiritual, and gathered in a spiritual way? |
A26959 | WHether any Jew at age was a member of the old Church without professing faith( in the Articles necessary to salvation) repentance and obedience? |
A26959 | Was ever such a reporter as this man before taken for a credible person? |
A26959 | Was it better to be of no visible Church, than of the universal? |
A26959 | Was that an honest man that would secretly hold an opinion which he knew he had no Scripture for? |
A26959 | Was there ever a Law or Covenant made in the world any other way than by a transeunt fact? |
A26959 | Was there never but One Parliament and One Cause? |
A26959 | Was there no such thing? |
A26959 | Was this an Anabaptist? |
A26959 | Was this great Pope an Anabaptist? |
A26959 | Were not this a contemptible arguing? |
A26959 | Were not this as good an argument? |
A26959 | Were these Persecutors think you blind or merciful herein? |
A26959 | What a Knave do they make him that so say? |
A26959 | What a bare put off is that, of a man that must say something? |
A26959 | What a deal of the Gospel and the Churches mercys do these men deny? |
A26959 | What a prover is this man? |
A26959 | What a wide gap doth that[ at least] make you, yet to say, They were a Church or no Church, as you please? |
A26959 | What aptitude hath the leading to Padan Aram, or removal to Aegypt, to make Infants Church- members? |
A26959 | What aptitude hath the setling of an Army to be any part of the causation of Infants Church- membership? |
A26959 | What childish play is this? |
A26959 | What durst I not subscribe to, if I durst do all this? |
A26959 | What have I got by them but silencing and the loss of all Ministerial maintenance, these twelve years? |
A26959 | What have I lost Sir? |
A26959 | What is it that a sanctified man must not devote to God that is His? |
A26959 | What is that to Church — membership? |
A26959 | What is the matter that men that can do all this, can not Conform? |
A26959 | What man will say so? |
A26959 | What not so notorious a Law, and Covenant, and Benediction? |
A26959 | What pains is taken in the Epistle to the Hebrews to prove the change of the Covenant as faulty in comparison of that which had better promises? |
A26959 | What pittiful abuse of ignorant Readers is this? |
A26959 | What should I say to him and them? |
A26959 | What will not partiality say? |
A26959 | What wonder then if disputes be endless? |
A26959 | What''s the difference? |
A26959 | What, doth Infants Relation detract from its spirituality? |
A26959 | When a storm fell on the Nonconformists, were their tents a likely place for shelter? |
A26959 | When in all the lines which I have examined I have met with so few that are not guilty of them? |
A26959 | When shall I come to a sentence that is true? |
A26959 | When you should prove to us the revocation of Infants Church- membership, to tell us that they had it only by a transeunt fact? |
A26959 | Whether a man may not oblige himself to a duty meerly by his consent? |
A26959 | Whether a meer dogmatical faith professed? |
A26959 | Whether it is sinfully used in Scripture?) |
A26959 | Whether then were not the children of the Disciples and all believing Jews Church- members in Infancy? |
A26959 | Whether there were any Ordinances or Law of God that Infants should be Church- members? |
A26959 | Who be they? |
A26959 | Who c ● uld hence have found out that God hath various degrees of intention? |
A26959 | Who then is this Man a Factor for? |
A26959 | Who was the accuser here? |
A26959 | Who would not receive them, though we approve not of their way? |
A26959 | Why did you cite neither words, page nor Book? |
A26959 | Why must we be told what Dr. Prideaux saith of the acts of an old Council, as easily known by us as by him? |
A26959 | Why some of the wisest of them that I know did read them over, and approved them before they were printed? |
A26959 | Why then dost thou rebaptize a Christian( that differeth not from them?) |
A26959 | Will he make the Church of his mind by such palpable falshoods as these? |
A26959 | Will you not confess your self that Cyprian and that Carthage Council, Nazianzene, Basil, Augustine& c. were for Infant- Baptism? |
A26959 | With what scorn will they deride such men? |
A26959 | Would not every week detect it? |
A26959 | Would you be believed in other things that can deliberately, in two Editions, do thus? |
A26959 | Would you have made your Reader believe that it was any thing to the question? |
A26959 | Would you tempt me to look to the hypocrites reward? |
A26959 | Yea even Independents and Presbyterians and all that prize and cleave to them now in England? |
A26959 | Yea whether he hath not all along confirmed it? |
A26959 | Yea, to justifie all Jews against this charge, that should neglect or refuse to engage their children to God in Covenant as members of his Church? |
A26959 | You see what he hath brought the ancient and later Church- membership, Circumcision and Baptism to? |
A26959 | [ Baptizing after the manner of Rome] And what''s that to his question? |
A26959 | [ Cum autem dicatur, Qui vero non crediderit condemnabitur, quid hic dicimus de parvulis, qui per aetatem adhuc credere non valent? |
A26959 | [ That Christs Ministers rightly ordained and dedicated to God in that sacred office, are not so much as Relatively holy as separated to God therein? |
A26959 | [ That Church Musick( and consequently singing which is the prime Musick) is no help to any man in the service of God? |
A26959 | [ That anointing, using the white Garment, Milk and Honey, were Blasphemous rites, and Popish before Popery was existent? |
A26959 | [ That it is in no Case lawful to keep a Vow of Chastity, at least among the Papists? |
A26959 | [ That no Reverence is due to Ministers and Church utensils?] |
A26959 | [ That though he find it a help, it is sin for any man to use it? |
A26959 | [ To be uncovered in the Church; and use reverent carriage and gestures there, doth not at all tend to preserve due reverence to God and his worship? |
A26959 | [ 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 —[ Hast thou an Infant? |
A26959 | and every one of my Nonconforming brethren? |
A26959 | and is here no Covenant, where the mutual Covenant is described? |
A26959 | and many another Text, mean no such thing as they speak, as if to be the seed of the faithful were no condition, but only[ I will save my elect?] |
A26959 | and more against vice and formality in and after Colmans and Columbanus dayes? |
A26959 | and so that almost all Christians in the world are no Christians? |
A26959 | and what a sort of new political Doctrine shall we have from you, when these things are accomplished according to the frame you have begun? |
A26959 | and what constituteth it formally? |
A26959 | and what you imagine that precept or promise to be which I assert? |
A26959 | and whether only with the punishment of loss, or also of sense?] |
A26959 | and whether the moral action of that law were permanent or transeunt? |
A26959 | as if he knew not what abundance more may easily be produced, if it were of any need? |
A26959 | as if were but one Tomb or Volume, that long ago was eleven great Volumes, and now many more? |
A26959 | as to the matter believed and the sincerity of the belief and consent?] |
A26959 | except the Anabaptists, who reject the benefit; whose case( as I said before) I will not presume to determine? |
A26959 | hath no more? |
A26959 | is one question: Whether this be repealed? |
A26959 | no not when God himself is the separater and man the unjust alienater? |
A26959 | or a fit reason of your application of it to the thing in hand? |
A26959 | or doth not this confirm their right to the benefit promised, which was received before by the same means? |
A26959 | or else make thee pitty the seduced party? |
A26959 | or from the creation till this day? |
A26959 | or if not, what sense it hath? |
A26959 | or if otherwise, that All Christs Church was Popish then? |
A26959 | or only less safe, and eligible, except in danger of death? |
A26959 | or would God else have taken them for his people? |

A26959 | party? |
A26959 | sure this was not so long after, a Manner peculiar to Rome? |
A26959 | that is, as soon as they were subjects capable? |
A26959 | that is, in the point of Rebaptizing persons before baptized( do you own that indeed?) |
A26959 | the approbation of man? |
A26959 | to be relatively a member of the Houshold of God? |
A26959 | unless it made a Law or Covenant which doth the deed? |
A26959 | were all these Papists, or Romans? |
A26959 | what proving is this? |
A26959 | what unlikely things( yea against evidence) can some believe? |
A26959 | when about the Manner indeed there were then so many and different ceremonies? |
A26959 | whereto will not men run left to themselves?] |
A26959 | whether all equally or unequally? |
A26959 | which no man that ever breathed till now, nor ever man will know again? |
A26959 | who did not send men of their own company? |
A26959 | who yet were born of Abrahams seed, and in that Land? |
A47591 | & c. Was it in his Mind that Infants should be baptized, and yet say nothing of it, because it was a common Custom and Practice among the Jews? |
A47591 | ''T is strange the Apostles should preach to little Children, o ● … er Christ to them, what preach Christ to the Infant in the Cradle? |
A47591 | ( You say) God can easily give holy Qualities to the Souls of Children: Can not God restore his own Image to little Children? |
A47591 | ( for that he did not) and shall we attempt to baptize them, as if we were wiser than he? |
A47591 | ( i. e. one Wife) yet he had the residue of the Spirit; and wherefore one? |
A47591 | ( say you) that Rebecca went down into the Well, Does it follow that she was plunged in it? |
A47591 | 1, 2. and was not Circumcision then in full force too, and so abode till Christ took it away by nailing it with all other Jewish Rites to his Cross? |
A47591 | 11, 12, 13. and will any Man, says he, yea will Paul ascribe all this to those that did not so much as profess the things signified? |
A47591 | 11. and will he not care for his Lambs and Weaklings of his Flock? |
A47591 | 13. before we Believed, this was our Condition, and are not our Children naturally in this state? |
A47591 | 13? |
A47591 | 16. and how is that Covenant a ground of strong Consolation to all the Heirs of the Promise? |
A47591 | 18. and doth not this open likewise a Door to any other like innovation? |
A47591 | 19. where sprinkling is mentioned? |
A47591 | 4. Who gave Men power to change his Commission, Baptizing into Rantizing or Sprinkling? |
A47591 | 4. for the Promises of God belonged to them; but if the Covenant be shortened in Privileges, how is it a better Covenant? |
A47591 | 5. and is not the Promise sure to all the seed? |
A47591 | 6,& c. But, say you, if the Children of the Faithful are excluded from the Covenant, then the Covenant is worse, and not a better Covenant? |
A47591 | Also where are Infants excluded from the Lord''s- Table? |
A47591 | Also who of us could say when our Servant- Maid went to draw Water, or fetch Water from a River, she went into the River? |
A47591 | And are not you in Union with that Church, and all Churches that own Infant Baptism in the World? |
A47591 | And can it be thought he refused little Children? |
A47591 | And did he make one? |
A47591 | And did not Christ by his Disciples baptize many Persons, nay more Disciples than John? |
A47591 | And doth not St. Paul assert the same thing? |
A47591 | And has God made such a Covenant with you, or with any Believer now? |
A47591 | And how came Baptism to have such power in it? |
A47591 | And if so, why dare any now a days admit of Infants, who are uncapable to make profession? |
A47591 | And if this be considered, what doth this Text do to prove the Natural Seed of Believers, as such, are in the Gospel- Covenant? |
A47591 | And if this be so, wo to the poor Babes of unbelievers, must they be all Damned? |
A47591 | And shall the Church refuse to receive all such into her Imbraces? |
A47591 | And to these Customs the Apostle alludes, when he says, How shall we that are dead to Sin, live any longer therein? |
A47591 | And why this Privilege only? |
A47591 | And will any Man,( saith he,) yea will Paul, ascribe all this to those that did not profess the things signified, or the necessary Condition? |
A47591 | And with shame you may speak it, unless you had Authority to Christ so to do: Who hath required this thing 〈 ◊ 〉 our Hands? |
A47591 | Another may say, what Sin have our Sons committed, that this great priviledge is denyed them, since Christ came? |
A47591 | Are Infants capable to hear the Word, and partake of the Sacraments? |
A47591 | Are Infants fruitful to Christ? |
A47591 | Are Infants of Believers, as such, the Seed of Christ, and in the Covenant of Grace? |
A47591 | Are all the Infants of Believers given unto Christ, and so not of this World? |
A47591 | Are all their Children elected, and none but theirs? |
A47591 | Are his Bowels straitned towards them? |
A47591 | Are not all Men in the VVorld, especially where the Gospel is preached, in or under the outward Dispensation of the Gospel, or Covenant of Grace? |
A47591 | Are not all the infants of Believers regenerated, and in Covenant with God? |
A47591 | Are not many Children of Unbelievers elected? |
A47591 | Are not the Saints to be all Volunteers? |
A47591 | Are not they and all others told, that old things are passed away, and all things are become new? |
A47591 | Are not we and our Children distinct Persons? |
A47591 | Are our Infants Lambs in Christ''s Fold, or feeble and afflicted Christians in Christ''s Spiritual Family? |
A47591 | Are there not many Children of Unbelievers elected? |
A47591 | Are they little Infants that Promise refers to, i. e. Thy Children shall be all taught of God? |
A47591 | Are they not Spiritual Blessings? |
A47591 | Are you an Arminian? |
A47591 | As if he had said, If there be no Resurrection, why are we baptized? |
A47591 | As to your second Reason, Do all the Children of Believers that die go to Heaven? |
A47591 | Baptism washes not away the filth of the Flesh; Or is not Original Pollution a filth of the Flesh? |
A47591 | Baptism? |
A47591 | Because he can not prove Infant Baptism from Arguments from Heaven will he go for Arguments to prove it to be Christs Ordinance taken from Hell? |
A47591 | Because you know not upon when the Election falleth, it is the Will of God that you should baptize all that are under the Promise? |
A47591 | Besides, Do you think it never rained upon the ● … ites before they passed through the Sea? |
A47591 | Besides, did not the same Fathers hold other Errors? |
A47591 | Besides, the Baptismal Vow you brought them under being not by God''s Appointment, what Blessing can you expect from thence? |
A47591 | Besides, was Baptism to be preached or practised by none but the Jewish People? |
A47591 | Besides, we see they never mind nor regard their Covenant in the case; and will not God one day say, who has required these things at your hands? |
A47591 | Brethren, Can any think that Abraham could purchase Men with Money, and that way bring them into the Covenant of Grace? |
A47591 | But Sir, by what Authority do you assert all these things? |
A47591 | But alas, how few are there of that sort? |
A47591 | But can any think this Promise is limited to the Carnal Seed of Believers or runs so? |
A47591 | But do you baptize no Children of Believers but such that die? |
A47591 | But doth Baptism therefore belong to them all? |
A47591 | But doth Mr. Owen think, that all the Children of the Faithful, as such, are the Seed or Children of the Second- Adam? |
A47591 | But how can you prove Baptism washes your Infants from Sin? |
A47591 | But how do they prove it? |
A47591 | But how will it appear that they( i. e. that Children) are holy, say you? |
A47591 | But is it so indeed, did our Saviour say nothing of Infant Baptism? |
A47591 | But is not this next to Blasphemy? |
A47591 | But now can the Infant- Seed of Believers, as such, be said to be the Seed of Abraham in any of these four respects? |
A47591 | But now, because there were so many Additions of the Gospel- Promise and new Covenant, are there so many new Covenants? |
A47591 | But since he speaks the quite contrary, who shall we believe, you, or the great Apostle of the Gentiles? |
A47591 | But the Rabbins upheld Joshua''s Side, and what Wonder was it? |
A47591 | But the worst is behind, who is it you cast this reproach upon? |
A47591 | But well saith Tertullian, Is it lawful because''t is not forbidden? |
A47591 | But were not the Beasts and the Fowls baptized and saved by the Ark as well as Noah and his Children, and his Son Cham? |
A47591 | But what Root? |
A47591 | But what is the purport of this Argument of yours for Infant- Baptism? |
A47591 | But what is this to their Children, as such, or to the positive Right any of our Infants have to Baptism? |
A47591 | But what of this? |
A47591 | But what stress do you lay upon Baptism? |
A47591 | But, Sir, is the Gospel Covenant worse than that Legal Covenant, because we and our Children have not such Promises and external Privileges? |
A47591 | But, Sir, what''s this to the Business? |
A47591 | But, pray, what must the Gentiles do to know this to be their Duty? |
A47591 | But, what tho? |
A47591 | Ca n''t you take a Woman dressed in modest and decent Cloaths by the Hand, without having an unclean thought in your Heart? |
A47591 | Can Baptism save them, And is it so indeed? |
A47591 | Can God be glorified by Man''s Disobedience, or by adding to his Word; by doing that which God hath not required? |
A47591 | Can Infant Baptism be more useful then that of Believers, and yet Baptism an Ordinance of the Souls Marriage with Christ? |
A47591 | Can Infant Baptism be more useful then that of Believers, and yet Baptism call''d the Answer of a good Conscience? |
A47591 | Can Infant Baptism be more useful then that of Believers? |
A47591 | Can Infants be willing? |
A47591 | Can Infants do that? |
A47591 | Can Parents by baptizing their Infants save them? |
A47591 | Can a little Babe answer a good Conscience by being baptized in Obedience to Christ, and to shew forth his Death and Resurrection? |
A47591 | Can an humane Rite or Tradition, think you, save poor Children, or a little Water sprinkled on the Face, wash away Original Sin? |
A47591 | Can any Man forbid Water, that these should not be baptized? |
A47591 | Can any Man in his right Wits think our Lord Jesus should confirm a Tradition and Innovation of the Jews? |
A47591 | Can any Perish that are in the Covenant of Grace? |
A47591 | Can not God save dying Infants unless they were included in the Covenant made with Abraham? |
A47591 | Can such that are no more Strangers to God,& c. ever perish? |
A47591 | Can that be an useful thing that frustrates the Sacred and Spiritual ends of Baptism? |
A47591 | Can that be of any use to an Infant which you, nor no Man else can prove from Gods Word, to have any use and Blessing in it to them? |
A47591 | Can that have any usefulness in it, that brings guilt upon the Parents in doing it, making them guilty of Will, Worship, or of a humane Tradition? |
A47591 | Can they bring forth Twins? |
A47591 | Can those that are the Children of the Covenant of Grace, cease to be such? |
A47591 | Can those things for which you have made this division, justifie your Sel ● ● m? |
A47591 | Can we suppose she carried her little Babes so far to Market? |
A47591 | Can you be so ignorant as to affirm, this Covenant- Contract made with Abraham, was made with the Natural Seed of believing Gentiles? |
A47591 | Certainly all may easily see it: Doth it not tend to prove that all ungodly and unbelieving Men and Women are to be baptized as well as Infants? |
A47591 | Christ, no doubt, came to save some of all sorts of Men, and who doubts but he came to save Infants, and little ones, Young and Old? |
A47591 | Command was to Males, and on the eighth day? |
A47591 | Could Reverend Mr. Jones find no better a Pen to defend his Cause of Pedo- Baptism? |
A47591 | Could they not go into the Water without plunging in it? |
A47591 | D. Williams confirms Mr. Baxter''s Notion: Take his words, What doth the Covenant bind thee to( speaking of Infants Baptismal- Covenant)? |
A47591 | Dare you add and diminish to God''s Word, nay alter Christ''s last Will and Testament in his grand Commission? |
A47591 | Dare you affirm, that all Unbelievers Children that die are damned? |
A47591 | Dare you invert, nay subvert the sacred Commission, and so make void the Command of God to uphold your own Tradition? |
A47591 | Did Baptism confer Grace and Arm their Souls, it was something, but who dares assert that? |
A47591 | Did ever any Man argue after this manner before? |
A47591 | Did not John Baptist say, Think not to say within your selves we have Abraham to our Father? |
A47591 | Did not our Lord Jesus Institute this Ordinance of Baptizing, i. e. of dipping the Bodies of Men and Women in water? |
A47591 | Did not our Saviour command his Disciples to go into all Nations, and make Disciples, and baptize them? |
A47591 | Did they preach Salvation to Believers, and to all their Children, as such, whether elected or not, called by the Word or Spirit, or not? |
A47591 | Did this stumble them in the Apostolical Days, who were told that Circumcision availed nothing, nor Uncircumcision? |
A47591 | Do not all the Children of God partake of God''s Divine Nature, and are not they all Heirs of God? |
A47591 | Do we deny that the Promise of Pardon and of the holy Spirit doth belong to our Children or Off- spring that ● o believe, or are called by the Lord? |
A47591 | Do you believe it? |
A47591 | Do you cut off your Infants from the Covenant of Salvation, because you will not give them the Blood of the Covenant( I mean the Lord''s Supper)? |
A47591 | Do you indeed own the Popish Church, or is not the Church of Rome in your Judgment, however part of the Body of Christ? |
A47591 | Do you know they are all Elect Persons, and so such that God will in time call, give grace to, and so change their evil and depraved Natures? |
A47591 | Do you not confess by the Order of the Words in the Commission, Teaching ought to go before Baptizing? |
A47591 | Do you not place that Virtue in an external Rite, that only belongs to the Blood of Christ, and sanctifying Grace of God''s Spirit? |
A47591 | Do you plead for final falling out of God''s Covenant, or from a State of t ● ue Grace? |
A47591 | Do you think there was not need that Infant- Baptism should be mentioned in the Holy Scripture, had it been a Truth? |
A47591 | Does Christ own Infants to be Subjects of his Kingdom, and yet did not baptize them? |
A47591 | Does Christ, says he, own them for Subjects in his Kingdom, and shall we allow them no better standing than in the Devil''s Kingdom? |
A47591 | Does God give himself, all he is, and all he has, to every Believer, and to all his Fleshly Seed? |
A47591 | Dost thou not desire to be saved? |
A47591 | Doth Baptism confer Grace? |
A47591 | Doth Baptism wash away Original Corruption? |
A47591 | Doth Christ say baptize, and so make them Disciples? |
A47591 | Doth Christ( saith he) take Children into his Arms, and shall his Church cast them out of her Imbraces? |
A47591 | Doth Mr. Owen think that we deny that any our Children have right to the Covenant of Grace? |
A47591 | Doth he mean every individual Person, or some of all sorts, of Jews and Gentiles? |
A47591 | Doth it follow, because many Thousands that were baptized( as you call it) when Infants, were after they come to Age truly converted? |
A47591 | Doth it not belong to the Gentiles too? |
A47591 | Doth not History tell us the Fathers used other Rites also, and that in Baptism? |
A47591 | Doth not our blessed Saviour say that they had made void the Commandments of God through their Traditions? |
A47591 | Doth not the Covenant and Promise to Adam run only to Christ Jesus, or referr to him, who is there meant by the Seed of the Woman? |
A47591 | Doth that intend all universally? |
A47591 | Doth the Constitution of the Spiritual Gospel- Church run as in Human and National Constitutions? |
A47591 | Doth the baptizing of Infants make them Disciples? |
A47591 | Doth your Baptism save your Infants? |
A47591 | Et quid vobis visum est non post nos sed post trinitatem baptisma geminare? |
A47591 | Find the Woman that had the Issue of Blood no Command no Example, nor no Promise to believe Christ would ● … er? |
A47591 | First, If Persons may be said to be baptized when it rains upon them, How many times have you and I been so baptized? |
A47591 | For this you must prove, or you say nothing; and how absurd would that be should you affirm any such thing? |
A47591 | For what need had he to baptize himself, were there none called Anabaptists in Holland nor Germany before that time? |
A47591 | Had God given the Jews any such Law or Precept? |
A47591 | Had Lydia and her Family a right to Baptism because a Proselyte? |
A47591 | Had it been the constant custom of the Godly to baptize Infants, would not these, think you, have been in their Infancy baptized? |
A47591 | Had not Abraham an Ishmael, Isaac an Esau, and David an Absalom? |
A47591 | Had they ever any ground of strong Consolation? |
A47591 | Hath not God freely left us and our Children to choose to be his Servants, or to choose our Religion? |
A47591 | Hath not God ways enough, and such that are sufficient to Oblidge our Children to die to Sin, and live a new Life? |
A47591 | Have Infants, as such, Union with Christ? |
A47591 | Have all their Children, or every one of them, Christ, Grace, Holiness here, and Glory and eternal Happiness hereafter? |
A47591 | Have they kept their Vow and Covenant? |
A47591 | Hence he says, What then? |
A47591 | How are they broken off? |
A47591 | How can it be an Evidence of Faith in Infants who are not capable to believe? |
A47591 | How can water( saith Mr. Charnock) an external thing, work upon the Soul Physically? |
A47591 | How can you make Baptism a Condition of Salvation to Infants who are no ways capable to answer it? |
A47591 | How dare Men adventure, this being so, to change Baptism from Dipping into Sprinkling; and the Subject, from an Adult Believer, to an Ignorant Babe? |
A47591 | How dare any Man Seal the Covenant of Salvation to such, who have not that Faith Abraham had, before he received that Seal? |
A47591 | How doth God prevent them with blessings of Goodness, by your Rantizing them? |
A47591 | How doth it appear the Infants of the Godly before Abraham''s time, had any Right to visible Church- Membership, or what Seal had they? |
A47591 | How imperfect is my Brother Owen? |
A47591 | How is it then that the Apostle Paul says, the Law is not of Faith; also the Covenant of Grace giveth Life? |
A47591 | How little is the Institution of Christ, or Practice of the Primitive Churches minded by many good Men? |
A47591 | How sanctified? |
A47591 | How shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therein? |
A47591 | How then could the dying Infants of the Godly, who lived before that Covenant was made with Abraham, be saved? |
A47591 | However this Testimony is given only by Witches and Sorcerers, and what ground have we to believe them? |
A47591 | I answer, Pagans and Infidels may be regenerated''t is possible, what can hinder God''s working upon their Hearts? |
A47591 | I answer, are we not to be commended for not believing that to be a Truth, for which there is neither Command nor example? |
A47591 | I answer, first, how inconsistent is this with the words of the Commission? |
A47591 | I ask Mr. Owen how he can prove that the Seal of the Covenant of Grace doth belong to them who are only in the outward Dispensation of the Gospel? |
A47591 | I could tell you of many evil and foul things and practices done by some Presbyterians, but should I brand the whole Brotherhood from thence? |
A47591 | I know not whether you be of this Pedo- baptists mind, or not, but I think this Doctrine does not fit a Christian Catechism? |
A47591 | I know the Papists assert it doth do this, but how do they or you prove it? |
A47591 | I say again, Are all our Children in the Election of Grace, or doth Election run only in that Line? |
A47591 | I will be a God to you Gentiles, but not to your Seed; is this Abraham''s Blessing, how unlike to it? |
A47591 | I would know how they prove Baptism to be the Medicine appointed to cure the Soul of the Plague of Sin( or, as Mr. Owen says, for their Salvation)? |
A47591 | If a Woman should sprinkle her foul Linen with a few drops of Water, would that be deem''d a washing of them? |
A47591 | If all your Children have the Seal of the Covenant of Grace, or all the blessings thereof, sealed up to them, shall they not be all saved? |
A47591 | If any should say why did you not cite these assertions of Mr. Baxters whilst he was living? |
A47591 | If so, are they not holy also? |
A47591 | If the Baptism of Infants be evil, why doth the Devil( say you) Tempt Witches or Sorcerers to deny that Baptism? |
A47591 | If the Covenant of Grace God made with Adam, was also to all his Seed, How happy is the whole VVorld? |
A47591 | If the Covenant of Grace was made with Adam, and his Natural Seed as such, will it not follow that he owns Universal Salvation? |
A47591 | If this he so, your Cause is gone: How? |
A47591 | If this you intend not, yet is every Believer a like common or publick Head to his natural Off- spring, as Adam was to his? |
A47591 | If you insist not on internal priviledges nor on external priviledges, that are Sealed to Infants that are Baptized, what does their Baptism signifie? |
A47591 | In a word, can they make the Child, or Children, to repent and truly believe in Jesus Christ? |
A47591 | In some shallow Rivolets we daily see, that in some places the Water is deep, and might it not be so in that? |
A47591 | In whose Authority and Power then must stand their Faith in this matter? |
A47591 | Is Absolution and the Seal of it offered unto Infants, and do they refuse to receive it? |
A47591 | Is Baptism Circumcision? |
A47591 | Is he more unready to administer Spiritual Blessings, than he was in administring Temporal Blessings to the Children of the Faithful? |
A47591 | Is it a Sin to cast off Mens inventions? |
A47591 | Is it a great Sin to refuse to agree to the Covenant to which thy Baptism engaged thee? |
A47591 | Is it a sin to divide from the Church of Rome, or from the Church of England, or not to continue of their Communion? |
A47591 | Is it in the power of Parents to save or damn their Children? |
A47591 | Is it not Go therefore, teach all Nations, baptizing them,& c.? |
A47591 | Is it not Spiritual and Heart- Holiness? |
A47591 | Is it not sad, that Men should give cause to their Children to think they are guilty of Perjury? |
A47591 | Is it then a shameful scandal to neglect a Tradition of Man? |
A47591 | Is it thus with your baptized Infants in respect of Original Sin? |
A47591 | Is it upon us? |
A47591 | Is not God''s Word to be our Rule in all Points of Faith and Practice to the End of the World? |
A47591 | Is not that an everlasting Covenant, well ordered in all things and ● ● re? |
A47591 | Is not the whole Mind of Jesus Christ, even all his Laws and Precepts, or his whole Counsel, plainly contained in his Blessed VVord? |
A47591 | Is not this to blind the Eyes of the poor People, and make them think that an external Ordinance saves the Soul? |
A47591 | Is not 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 à 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 Greek? |
A47591 | Is their a necessity for it? |
A47591 | Is there no hope therefore left us of the Salvation of our dying Infants? |
A47591 | Is this an answer? |
A47591 | Is this that Covenant confirm''d by the Oath of God, that gives you such strong Consolation touching your Infants, as such, as before you pleaded for? |
A47591 | Is this the Blessing of Abraham that is come upon the Gentiles? |
A47591 | Is this the Promise that belongs to the Faithful and their Children? |
A47591 | Is this to act like a wise and learned Man? |
A47591 | It is plain, say you, that Baptism belongeth to them that believe: but say you, how doth it appear that Baptism doth belong to the Seed of such? |
A47591 | Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his Death? |
A47591 | Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his Death? |
A47591 | Know ye not, that so many of you that have been baptized into Christ, were baptized into his Death? |
A47591 | May not the Papists say as well, that those Persons they bring under their voluntary Vows, are thereby Dedicated unto God? |
A47591 | May not the Papists say to them also, Where do you read holy Water and holy Garments are forbid? |
A47591 | May not we by your Argument baptize Unbelievers in whom no Grace appears, because we do not know how the Election runs? |
A47591 | May the Children of God degenerate into Dogs, Wolves, and Vipers? |
A47591 | May we baptize such therefore? |
A47591 | Moreover, why do you speak of Persons being not willing to be baptized, when the Subject of Baptism you contend for is a poor ignorant Babe? |
A47591 | Mourn O England and lament, sad is thy Case? |
A47591 | Must God save all the Children of the First- Adam by the Obedience of the Second, because, if Adam had stood none of his Children had fallen? |
A47591 | Must our Faith stand in the Wisdom of Men in this matter, or in the Power of God, and in the Authority of his Sacred Word? |
A47591 | Must they have the same Rites and Privileges, and yet not the same? |
A47591 | Must we all who deny Infant Baptism, be Condemned as utter cast aways, and not be lookt upon so much as Members of the Universal Church? |
A47591 | Must we believe God''s Word, or a lying Traveller? |
A47591 | Must we deny Original Sin, or own Infant- Baptism does cleanse from it? |
A47591 | My Faith may be said to unite me to Christ; but doth it also unite my Child to Christ? |
A47591 | Nay, may be they might say, they had not the other to do it, and therefore built their Altars of Brick: But would this Pretence do? |
A47591 | Nay, more, be so bold as to say, these are more useful, and answer better the End of God, than those which he himself instituted? |
A47591 | Nay, or that it was made to Abraham''s Spiritual Seed? |
A47591 | Nevertheless, what saith the Scripture? |
A47591 | No doubt but Christ is able to do it: But doth he in a secret way administer Instruction to Infants? |
A47591 | No doubt but the Lord loved his Elect before they were born, even from Everlasting, but what of this? |
A47591 | No, no, what saith the Almighty God? |
A47591 | Now can this be a Truth, since Christ was more Faithful than Moses; and delivered every thing plainly from the Father? |
A47591 | Now did not the Children partake of the Lord''s Supper, I mean that Typical Lord''s Supper? |
A47591 | Now do all the Children of the Faithful come to Christ, and shall they all be saved? |
A47591 | Now if I prove there were two Covenants made with Abraham, what is become of all you have said in respect of this matter? |
A47591 | Now must this be a Covenant of Faith or Grace? |
A47591 | Now to what purpose do you mention this Covenant, or the temporal Salvation of Noah''s Family in the Ark? |
A47591 | Now what Arminianism is here fomented, if once you say or think, they are capable to perform this Obligation? |
A47591 | Now what is the Sign without the Thing signified? |
A47591 | Now( say they) is not this a pure Gospel- Phrase, and shews it to be a Covenant with Abraham in Christ? |
A47591 | Now, Sir, was there any Person either young or old, before the Law or under the Law, thus baptized? |
A47591 | O that God would appear and give you a better temper of Heart: Who is uncharitable now, if Charity be the Bond of perfectness? |
A47591 | Or are they Dogs, and must be damned if their Parents baptize them not, and dare not do it because Christ hath not commanded them to baptize them? |
A47591 | Or dare you say our New Testament is not authentick, or sufficient to teach us the whole of Gospel- Duties, and Obedience, without the Jewish Talmud? |
A47591 | Or hath the Church or Ministers, power to alter Christ''s great Commission? |
A47591 | Or have you any power to force, or compel your Children to be of what Perswasion in Religion you please? |
A47591 | Or is it not upon Christ himself? |
A47591 | Or is it not, make Disciples, and baptize them? |
A47591 | Or might there not be a great Confluence of Water then,( as Dr. Hammond words it) and yet but little or shallow Water now, or when Sandys was there? |
A47591 | Or take his great Ordinance of Baptism from the Superstitious, Fabulous and Erroneous Custom of their Doctors and Rabbins? |
A47591 | Or was it not wholly done by the Power of God''s Word preached to them, through the mighty Power and Operations of the Holy Ghost upon their Souls? |
A47591 | Or what Representation is there in that Act of a Resurrection? |
A47591 | Or would Abraham have been circumcised himself, because in the Covenant of Grace, had he not received a positive Command so to be? |
A47591 | Or, are they not to be justly blamed who jumble things so confusedly together? |
A47591 | Or, is there any such Covenant- Head under the Gospel, save Jesus Christ alone? |
A47591 | Ought not we to keep the Ordinances as they were first instituted and given to the Saints? |
A47591 | Ought we not to believe( say you) for our Children, that Christ will receive them? |
A47591 | Pray ask this Man what it is that Baptism seals to Infants? |
A47591 | Pray, was that Custom among the Jews of baptizing Infants, when any of the Gentiles were admitted into the Jewish Church, commanded of God? |
A47591 | Pray, what became of the Jews Female Infants, were they damned? |
A47591 | Shall not a whole Believer be saved? |
A47591 | Sir were not those Men and Women that were Baptized in the Apostolical times Dipped? |
A47591 | Sir, Are all Believers Children in the Covenant of Grace? |
A47591 | Sir, Is not Baptisin a Greek VVord? |
A47591 | Sir, What think you now of the Testimony of the ancient Fathers, and of the practice of the Churches after the Apostles days? |
A47591 | Sir, What think you now of your Jewish Custom of baptizing the Heathens, and their Children, who were admitted to their Church? |
A47591 | Sir, Why dare you leave out part of the Words? |
A47591 | Sir, are not these part of the Nations? |
A47591 | Sir, are the Infants of Believers near one half part of the Nations? |
A47591 | Sir, no doubt elect Infants that die have Union with Christ in a way we are ignorant of, but what is this to the Infants of Believers as such? |
A47591 | Sir, what is become of your sprinkling of Cups, Pots and Brazen Vessels among the Jews, when''t is said they washed or baptized them? |
A47591 | Sirs, who hath required this at your Hands? |
A47591 | Speak, Doth Baptism take away Original sin, or free them from that Malady or not? |
A47591 | That Children were baptized into the Covenant under the Law; What Pedo- baptist ever asserted this before? |
A47591 | That in the Primitive Times, when the Gospel was first preached and? |
A47591 | That that blessed work of Grace upon their Hearts was by virtue of their Infant- Baptism, or from any Motive that arose from thence? |
A47591 | The Minor is undeniable: Was not Baptism in full force from the time that John received it from Heaven, and administred it on the People? |
A47591 | The truth is, if Circumcision availed nothing, but was a Yoke of Bondage, then why should that stumble them? |
A47591 | Therefore we are buried with him in Baptism into his Death,& c. Else what shall they do that are baptized for the Dead, if the Dead rise not? |
A47591 | Therefore you object, How can Children be bound to that which they are ignorant of? |
A47591 | To contemn this Order( saith he) is to contemn the Rules of Order; for where can we find it if not here? |
A47591 | To this you answer and say, How doth that follow? |
A47591 | VVhat difference between Baptism and Baptisma? |
A47591 | VVhat need of Consequences here? |
A47591 | VVhat need we have VVine? |
A47591 | VVhat of this? |
A47591 | VVhy are not Men ashamed thus to go about to blind and deceive the poor People? |
A47591 | VVill God own or bless an humane Tradition? |
A47591 | VVill you confound the Use and End of one Sacrament with the other, to maintain your own Innovation and Abuse of Christ''s holy Baptism? |
A47591 | Was not the Moral Law from the beginning? |
A47591 | Was this the priviledge of any save Abraham only? |
A47591 | We say the Papists call for Scripture where those things are forbid which they have among them, or when God cast them out of the Church? |
A47591 | Were ever any Men thus bold before? |
A47591 | Were it not thus, how could we deny or oppose the Papists seven Sacraments? |
A47591 | Were there not many other Rites and Ordinances under the Law, or Old Testament, besides Circumcision? |
A47591 | Were these such, think you, that ever were in the Covenant of Grace God ma ● e with Abraham? |
A47591 | Were they in Covenant as they are the Natural Seed of Believers? |
A47591 | Were they only the Children of Believers that Herod Murthered, how will you prove that? |
A47591 | What Advantage then hath the Jew? |
A47591 | What Covenant is it he means? |
A47591 | What Credit is to be given to such Fathers? |
A47591 | What Doctrine is this? |
A47591 | What Figure of a Burial of Christ, or of the old Man is there in sprinkling a few drops of VVater on a Person''s Face? |
A47591 | What Human Tradition may not be let into the Church at this Door? |
A47591 | What Notions do you impose upon your unwary Readers? |
A47591 | What a preposterous way of arguing is this of yours? |
A47591 | What an abominable Innovation had he been guilty of should he have done this thing, which you seem posicively to affirm? |
A47591 | What an account can you give to him of this at the great Day? |
A47591 | What assurance can he give to Infants, or to their Parents that the Children they baptize shall be better Christians thereby? |
A47591 | What difference is there between much VVater, and many Waters? |
A47591 | What doth hinder me to be baptized? |
A47591 | What doth this prove touching the Lawfulness of Infant- Baptism? |
A47591 | What if I affirm, that no Ordinance succeeds in the room of Circumcision? |
A47591 | What if I agree with the last, and say Abraham is the Root? |
A47591 | What if a Child, thro the love of Sin, or vanity of Mind, will not agree to this Covenant? |
A47591 | What is a simple external Profession good for, without true Grace and a saving Interest in Christ, and Assurance of Eternal Life? |
A47591 | What is an Ordinance without the God of the Ordinance? |
A47591 | What is required of Persons to be baptized? |
A47591 | What is the Sign without the Thing signified? |
A47591 | What is the difference between holy and sanctified? |
A47591 | What more doth it serve to do than to blind and deceive the Souls of such external and carnal Professors? |
A47591 | What need had there been for them so to have done, had Baptism been sprinkling? |
A47591 | What signifies Federal External Holiness without true Spiritual Holiness? |
A47591 | What stuff is this you would force upon us and the World? |
A47591 | What then? |
A47591 | What tho the Hebrew word signifies cleansing or washing with Water, was it therefore formally the Ordinance of Baptism? |
A47591 | What tho the one be a Sacrament of Initiation, and the other of Confirmation? |
A47591 | When God commanded Abraham to circumcise on the eighth day, did he not virtually forbid him to do it on the seventh or ninth day? |
A47591 | When the Eunuch ask''d Philip, See, here is Water, what doth hinder me to be baptized? |
A47591 | Where is the Immutability of God''s Counsel? |
A47591 | Where is the Spirit of Reformation? |
A47591 | Where is the extream ● unction forbid, or auricular Confession, or the use of Beads in Prayer, and a hundred more such Romish Fopperies? |
A47591 | Where is the strong Consolation? |
A47591 | Whether such as had Heathen and Infidel Wives ought to put them away with their Children, as in the days of Ezra? |
A47591 | Whether the being the Children of Abraham, as such, gave them a right to Circumcision, or rather the meer positive Command of God to Abraham? |
A47591 | Whether the believing Husband might live or cohabit with the unbelieving Wife? |
A47591 | Whither will this lead you? |
A47591 | Who commanded you this way to Dedicate your Children to the Lord? |
A47591 | Who commanded you to baptize or dip Believers in the Name of the Father,& c. and you rantize or sprinkle Infants? |
A47591 | Who tells you so? |
A47591 | Who told you what you say is the sense of our Saviour? |
A47591 | Why can not they receive a Blessing from him now, as in the days of his Flesh? |
A47591 | Why do you not use Crossing in Baptism, nor Oyl nor Honey as the Papists do? |
A47591 | Why do you say of no Right but this? |
A47591 | Why doth Innocent Age hasten to the Remission of Sins? |
A47591 | Why doth you not from hence give Infants also the Lord''s Supper? |
A47591 | Why may we not give credit to the Papists, as well as unto Witches and Sorcerers? |
A47591 | Why must not the Gentiles and their Children that are grafted in, as you suppose, in their room, receive all the Privileges as well as one or two? |
A47591 | Why tempt ye God, to put a yoke on the necks of the Disciples? |
A47591 | Why then are such not to be baptized, as well as the Children of the Faithful? |
A47591 | Why then despisest thou one of the Means of Salvation? |
A47591 | Why then do you baptize all, even such that have not the thing signified when baptized, nor ever after till they die? |
A47591 | Why were they brought to Christ? |
A47591 | Why? |
A47591 | Will Baptism save your Infants? |
A47591 | Will Christ accept of Prest- Souldiers into his Service? |
A47591 | Will God own and bless a voluntary Vow, or approve of an Humane Tradition? |
A47591 | Will Pedo- Baptists make Baptism their Saviour? |
A47591 | Will you Teach the Almighty, or are you wiser than he? |
A47591 | Will you be wiser than God? |
A47591 | Will you charge the Holy Apostles, and all the Ministers of the Primitive Churches with Adultery? |
A47591 | Will you direct the Almighty, or have Christ to bless an Human Invention? |
A47591 | Will you exclude all from Salvation that are not Members of your Church? |
A47591 | Will you say with the Old Erroneous Fathers, and Blind Papists, that Baptism washes away Original Sin? |
A47591 | You argue as many 〈 ◊ 〉 have done before you, Children of Believers were once in Covenant, who dares be so bold as to say they are cast out? |
A47591 | You may think that was no great Error, instead of Gold or Stone, to make Altars of Brick: but what saith God? |
A47591 | You( say you) appeal to the Consciences of those that are rebaptized, is not the thing thus? |
A47591 | actual Sin they have none: Doth it wash away Original Sin? |
A47591 | and also of the Doctrine of final Perseverance? |
A47591 | and are Infants able so to do? |
A47591 | and are the Children they had when they were vile and wicked Persons, bad, nay so bad as they are to be counted Dogs? |
A47591 | and do none of the Children of Unbelievers go thither? |
A47591 | and if so, why not baptized as well as your Infants, by your Argument from hence? |
A47591 | and is it not in English to dip? |
A47591 | and is not that( as Mr. Baxter saith,) a strange Marriage, where there is nothing signified of consent? |
A47591 | and that their Infants who die may go to Heaven, tho not circumcised, nor baptized? |
A47591 | and were not those that were circumcised bound to keep the Moral as well as the Ceremonial Law? |
A47591 | and what became of their Male Infants, who died before eight days old? |
A47591 | but doth he need Man''s Supplements, shall man teach God? |
A47591 | but what hope have the Impious, Prophane, and ungodly Parent of the Salvation of his dying Children? |
A47591 | dare you say that? |
A47591 | do not many of them live and prove ungodly when grown up, that you baptize? |
A47591 | had not the Jews and their Children many other external Privileges besides Circumcision? |
A47591 | how could they change their Apparel? |
A47591 | how many of them do perish eternally? |
A47591 | if not thus, how can it be Cruelty, yea Murder in Parents to deny the Application of Baptism to their Children( as Mr. Burkit says)? |
A47591 | is not the case mended with us? |
A47591 | is there no Salvation out of the Visible Church? |
A47591 | is this Sin the damning Sin? |
A47591 | nay of the Promises and Oath of God? |
A47591 | or condemn Salt, Oil, Spittle to be used in Baptism, which they use in it, seeing these are not forbid? |
A47591 | or have we no perfect Rule left us in the Gospel? |
A47591 | or what Profit is there in Circumcision? |
A47591 | or who made that a Channel of Grace to dying Infants? |
A47591 | should you dictate to your Earthly Prince, would he allow it? |
A47591 | that they ought to baptize their Children who did not know, nor ever heard of that Jewish Custom? |
A47591 | the Sign of Regeneration, but not Regeneration it self, a sign of Grace, but not Grace it self? |
A47591 | they want power to do it for themselves, and how then should they do it for others? |
A47591 | they were not Circumcised; And were not their Male Infants saved, who dyed before the Eighth Day? |
A47591 | was that the thing, or is it not another Act? |
A47591 | were but Infants capable of knowledge, how much would they dread being born of wicked Parents? |
A47591 | where is it written? |
A47591 | would that have justified them if they had presumed to have done it without God''s Command? |
A47591 | you seem to assert this, for else how hath God by Baptism prevented them? |
A47591 | — Is it not great ingratitude in us to despise our birth- right? |
A47591 | ● nd are not they, say you, unthankful to the Grace of G ● … which offereth them a Seal of Absolution, and they ● … ll not receive it? |
A47591 | 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A62864 | & the Apostles constantly practised? |
A62864 | ( For what is the externall administration of the covenant of grace; but the seals, as they call them, and the rest of the service of the Sanctuary?) |
A62864 | ( not 7. as it is printed) If some believed not, shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? |
A62864 | 1 saith he, How Bain and Ame ● come to the name of Remonstrants? |
A62864 | 1. it seems he will not see i ●, and then wee may apply to him the Proverb, Who so blinde as hee that will not see? |
A62864 | 1. to Harding, saying, Were the hundred thousand Bores of Germany consumed by the sword of the Nobility there for their obecience? |
A62864 | 10. answers; nor doth Mr. M. or Dr. Homes deny it, but Mr. M. asks What is your argument hence? |
A62864 | 10.1, 2, 3, 4. compared with chap 11 3, 14, 15, 18. yea but if the command bound them, why were they circumcised? |
A62864 | 10.16, 17. to have a meer visible Churchstate? |
A62864 | 122. tell us, that Moses did cause them oft to enter and renew the Covenant? |
A62864 | 2 To his second question, Are the naturall seed of Abraham and legall justiciaries one and the same? |
A62864 | 2. l. 1 c. 42. saith, qu dam nullo judicio videntur con cripta quae se satis produn? |
A62864 | 2. saith M. Drew, Are not Gentiles the seed of Abraham? |
A62864 | 31.36, 37. which seemed to promise they should be his people to be justified and saved by Christ? |
A62864 | 38. of the gift of the holy Ghost, some of other promises? |
A62864 | 7.22? |
A62864 | 78. we read of some that have been sanctified from the womb, were they visible Churchmembers in the womb? |
A62864 | 8. but is not all that included in this, I will be your God? |
A62864 | 84? |
A62864 | 85. enquires, What is the formal reason and ground that any hath right to Baptism? |
A62864 | Alas Sir, why do you run into this needless and erroneous digression? |
A62864 | And 1. what means Mr. T. to talk of mercy to others, when our question is, Whether it be a mercy to themselves to be unchurched? |
A62864 | And 6. whether he mean that call by which particularly they were at first made a Church? |
A62864 | And I demand further, when we are graffed in and so naturalized with them, do we not partake of all the fatness or priviledges of the Olive with them? |
A62864 | And Noah pray, that God would perswade Japhet to dwell in the tents of Sem? |
A62864 | And are not the Sacraments Signa conditionalia, conditionall signes and Seals? |
A62864 | And by way of retortion, I do s ● riously ask Mr. B. how he will expound the word all nations? |
A62864 | And can any man of common sence and conscience expound this of his casting all their infants out of his family? |
A62864 | And did former Laws oblige to Circumcision till Christ? |
A62864 | And do you think this the common sense of the word? |
A62864 | And does not this vail so far blind their eyes that they see not so much as with faith historical? |
A62864 | And doth Mr. T. thinke that no wicked men perish as Covenant- breake ● s with Christ? |
A62864 | And doth not he that saith there is no law, say there is no transgression? |
A62864 | And how else then should the nature and use of it be held out? |
A62864 | And how is this proved? |
A62864 | And if he did not, why doth he talk of proving it here where he disputes against me? |
A62864 | And if it neither determine the person, nor give 〈 ◊ 〉 ground to determine, how then doth it become probable to that person? |
A62864 | And if so, whether of Abraham onely? |
A62864 | And if so, whether that which was proper to the Jews posterity? |
A62864 | And if the Covenant of grace be a birth- priviledge, how are they children of wrath by nature? |
A62864 | And is it not also of the promise foregoing? |
A62864 | And is not this from as great a mistake as the other, to think that Gods command is no part of his Covenant? |
A62864 | And is there no intimation in this that Seth was an infant member of the visible Church? |
A62864 | And it being with their consent that the nation were church members, may not the like be done now? |
A62864 | And now must I be fain to shew, that churchmembership is neither sucking the brest of a godly woman, nor being brought in the family? |
A62864 | And shall we think the Apostle so foolish as to be thus troubled for such a loss? |
A62864 | And should not every King and Magistrate do the like? |
A62864 | And so should every repenting believing Jews infants be Churchmembers? |
A62864 | And the whole speech considered, the words import no more then this, can I bring him back again to life? |
A62864 | And then for Moses what more did he? |
A62864 | And then what was the physical act which is called Gods taking? |
A62864 | And then why should we doubt but the Apostles mission extended to them also? |
A62864 | And were they all elected and partakers of saving graces, or outward priviledges onely? |
A62864 | And were we not once all infants? |
A62864 | And what a lamentable confusion are we now brought into by these? |
A62864 | And what call had these infants that can not understand a call? |
A62864 | And what he means by a Church call to infants that can not understand, I know not; except by a call he meaneth circumcising them? |
A62864 | And what hope is it? |
A62864 | And what is it? |
A62864 | And what is to be expected from children of that age? |
A62864 | And what means Mr. T. to talk of here one and there one? |
A62864 | And what of it had been true if the whole Kingdome? |
A62864 | And whence hath Master Cobbet warrant to say that the promise belongs one way to the Jewes, and another way to the Gentiles? |
A62864 | And where did Mr. T. learn in Scripture to call the Jews churchstate carnal? |
A62864 | And whether I may not as groundedly make a fact sufficient for this purpose of the acts of an hundred or two hundred years onely? |
A62864 | And who shall descend into the deep] that is to bring Christ again from the dead? |
A62864 | And will not parents mourn for their children? |
A62864 | And would not Mr. T. now have a whole family made a Church in a day? |
A62864 | And yet of all such who will say, they were all in a saving estate? |
A62864 | And yet( would any man think it?) |
A62864 | Are all those glorious things spoken of the City of God, and is it now better to be out of any Church then in it? |
A62864 | Are not the aged worse then they? |
A62864 | Are not the infants of Adam deprived of life in justice to their hurt, without their breaking Covenant with God, or their personal desert? |
A62864 | Are not these Kingdomes added to the Church as well as Israel? |
A62864 | Are not these cross caper ●? |
A62864 | Are the head and members at such odds, that one must give place, and be gone when the other comes? |
A62864 | Are the n ● ● urall seed of Abraham and legall justiciaries one and the same? |
A62864 | Are they children to whom the adoption pertains, and yet no children? |
A62864 | Are you sure that which Abraham did in it was as a Magistrate? |
A62864 | Art thou called being a servant? |
A62864 | As the Sichemites must do, so other nations must do: For what priviledge had the children of the Sichemites above the rest of the world? |
A62864 | As we know not what he means by[ constitution] as is said before; so who knows what he meaneth by[ their Church call?] |
A62864 | Be wiser then our Fathers? |
A62864 | Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the the sacrifices partakers of the altar? |
A62864 | Besides what ground hath Mr. G. to call this promise the Gospel- covenant? |
A62864 | Besides what interfering is there in Paedobaptists? |
A62864 | But are the promises to all professors because they are conditionally proposed to them? |
A62864 | But did God promise spiritual grace to the Jews after the captivity and not before? |
A62864 | But do I call any where the Gospel mixt? |
A62864 | But doth Nazianzen give us there any Scripture for this differing? |
A62864 | But doth he say this of the Israelites then living whose case he bewailed? |
A62864 | But he further demands, Or what doth he mean by churchstate? |
A62864 | But if it be not a distinction of a genus into its species, what distinction is it? |
A62864 | But let us consider a little what is the Church? |
A62864 | But may I not require Mr. B. to shew me by what actions I have done any of these things? |
A62864 | But shall we make no difference between the children of believers and unbelievers? |
A62864 | But was not it true also of the Ierusalem that was when Christ was? |
A62864 | But waving this, is the fault mended in his Defence? |
A62864 | But what a dotage is this? |
A62864 | But what if all this were true? |
A62864 | But what is it then? |
A62864 | But what is this to those who do not deny Christ, and therefore are both Children of the flesh, and of the- promise? |
A62864 | But what non- sense scribling is this, to term preaching or hearing covenanting? |
A62864 | But what saith M. C. to the instance of the males of 7. days only to infringe his rule? |
A62864 | But what saith it? |
A62864 | But what text do you think he brought? |
A62864 | But what text do you think he brought? |
A62864 | But what then? |
A62864 | But whence doth he gather that Circumcision of right ended, when Baptism began to be an initial Sacrament? |
A62864 | But who so bold as blinde bayard? |
A62864 | But whose Logick rule is that he mentions? |
A62864 | But will you yeeld that they are so much as seeming probable members of the invisible Church? |
A62864 | But, What may I do to escape the wrath due to me? |
A62864 | But, saith he, doth not this contradict what went before? |
A62864 | By asking Mr. T. whether he be ready to pay th ● t reverence to the authority of the Fathers, as to bee concluded by their affirmations? |
A62864 | By demand; Is there any such decree as to cast out of the Church invisible? |
A62864 | By w ● at law becomes he a lawful proxy? |
A62864 | By what means is it visible or discernable that a believers infant is fetcht out of Satans visible kingdome and 〈 ◊ 〉 an unbelievers? |
A62864 | By what rule those who are acknowledged visible Church- members in infancy c ● n be denied the Lords Supper? |
A62864 | Can Mr. B. say they are not among his party? |
A62864 | Can any man think that this was any part of the ● ondage? |
A62864 | Can he prove that their churchmembership was a type of Christ, that must cease when he was come? |
A62864 | Can he say this of the Jewish Church, and their call? |
A62864 | Can you bring us proof of any one infant of true Church- members, that was not rightfully a Churchmember himself from the creation till Christs dayes? |
A62864 | Can you imagine what shift is left against this plain truth? |
A62864 | Christ wonders at Nicodemus, that he understood it not: Art thou a ruler in Israel and knowest not these things? |
A62864 | Christs Church is his family; and doth the Heir use to be freed by being cast out of the family? |
A62864 | Concerning Athanas ● us he speaks thus, What say you to that passage in Athanasius? |
A62864 | Credis? |
A62864 | D ● th he perswade them? |
A62864 | Dare any say of no unbelievers infants is Christs Kingdome? |
A62864 | Dare you maintain that all the world is sinlesse in this respect? |
A62864 | Did I ever grant that the Jewish baptism of any infants is to be our pattern, or was Christs pattern? |
A62864 | Did I ever say there is less hope of their salvation, then fear of their damnation? |
A62864 | Did circumcision seal no other promise but that? |
A62864 | Did none but Abraham give an example unto others of believing? |
A62864 | Did the adding of these Laws and ceremonies take down any former part of the Church? |
A62864 | Did the bringing out of Aegypt concur to make Moses a Churchmember when he was in the basket on the waters? |
A62864 | Did the faith of God take effect in that which was never promised? |
A62864 | Did they begin to be a Church in the Wilderness? |
A62864 | Do not Tertullian, Cyprian,& c. argue from Circumcision unto Baptism 〈 ◊ 〉 we now do, and others of them from Covenant holiness? |
A62864 | Do not these things happen to the most godly Saints? |
A62864 | Do they know what[ a trans ● unt fact is, that without law or Covenant makes Churchmembers?] |
A62864 | Do yo ● understand what it is to be a member of a City, or of a family? |
A62864 | Do you understand what is totum aggregatum& pars totius? |
A62864 | Doest thou renounce? |
A62864 | Doth Christ cast any out of the Church, onely that he may succeed them? |
A62864 | Doth God say, that the seed of the righteous are not blessed till they come to age? |
A62864 | Doth Mr. B. interpret this of infants? |
A62864 | Doth he circumcise them? |
A62864 | Doth he command them to obey the commands of God? |
A62864 | Doth he give any reason? |
A62864 | Doth it follow, that because I assigne Ev ● ngelical benefits to Abrahams spiritua ● seed, I deny any of his natural seed to be his spiritual? |
A62864 | Doth not Mr. B. acknowledge, that Abrahams Circumcision did seal the righteousness of saith which he had being yet uncircumcised? |
A62864 | Doth not Mr. T. confess that the Jews infants were in Covenant? |
A62864 | Doth not Scripture term the Jewish Church or people, the Circumcision, because those that were in that Church, if male, were circumcised? |
A62864 | Doth not the promise give them an established right in this blessing? |
A62864 | Doth not the seal belong to the thing sealed? |
A62864 | Doth not thus plainly assert that the Jews then were righly judged by Peter to be in the promise, and their right thereby to batism? |
A62864 | Doth the covenant appertain to them, and they stiled the children of the covenant, and yet are they out of covenant? |
A62864 | Doth the word[ taking] signifie a meer physical taking or fact; or a moral; such as among men we call, a civil action? |
A62864 | Doth visible Churchmember praedicari de pluribus specie differentibus in quid? |
A62864 | Else is not this as great a mercy to the poor off cast Jews? |
A62864 | Else why do Ministers exhort men to joyn with some particular Church, and to submit to their Pastors? |
A62864 | Ergo, Now what doth Mr. C. answer? |
A62864 | Far would any that knowes the meaning of words, take this for a right paraphrase? |
A62864 | First hee says, if by standard bee meant Baptism, who makes a Thesis of his Hypothesis? |
A62864 | First, whether the first verse of this second chapter be meant onely of invisible members? |
A62864 | For Adam and Eve were eyed, saith Mr C. as a seminall visible Church? |
A62864 | For I would know what the faith of God was whether it were the Covenant of saving grace, or the outward Covenant? |
A62864 | For examining of which I set down something about priviledges, which Mr. M. grants, and saith, what''s all this to the purpose? |
A62864 | For how doth it administer it but as a means of applying it? |
A62864 | For is the one to be defined by the other? |
A62864 | For the Apostle extendeth redemption here to those that were under the Law; and who knoweth not that infants were under the Law? |
A62864 | For the minor was,[ that here is no greater mercy given to infants in stead of Churchmembership:] Doth not Mr. T. acknowledge this? |
A62864 | For were not the Jews infan ● s by their visible Churchmembership bound to be circumcised, and to keep Moses Law? |
A62864 | For what are those outward priviledges in respect of which they are the same but outward administrations? |
A62864 | For what consequence? |
A62864 | For what else can be the reason of those terms[ at least as well] which are not like the expressions of a man that is well resolved what to hold? |
A62864 | For what fruit or accompt can else be given of all Christs preaching and pains bestowed in that city? |
A62864 | For what is a Covenanter but one that makes a promise? |
A62864 | For what is addition to a company but a joyning or bringing one more to them then was before? |
A62864 | For what is covenant- interest, but interest in the covenant, and covenant- right, but right from the covenant? |
A62864 | For what is it to seal and not to confer grace, but onely to assure? |
A62864 | For where is this distinction of yours found or founded in the word of God? |
A62864 | For who knows not that Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, with million ● more are dead, and are now no members in any visible Church? |
A62864 | For, 1. how were the promises made indefinitely, and yet to all the Israelites? |
A62864 | From Cyrus, Arta ● ● rxes, Darius, Ab ● su ● rus? |
A62864 | Go disciple all nations,& c. Is not this brave proving the repeal before mentioned? |
A62864 | God saith you stand all here,& c. to enter into the Covenant, and oath,& c. And you say, it can not be all, whom shall we believe God or you? |
A62864 | Hath he not a good wit, that can prove that Christ hath repealed his merciful gift, because he hath redeemed us from under our bondage and tutorage? |
A62864 | Hath the mercfull God revealed no ordinary help for them? |
A62864 | Have not I also granted this thing, and that upon the same reasons? |
A62864 | Have you well considered of the fruit of your way ● apparent in England and Ireland at this day? |
A62864 | He addeth the very exposition to every sentence:[ who shall ascend into heaven] that is, saith he, to bring Christ down from above? |
A62864 | He adds, Besides is there not 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 mystery in the original? |
A62864 | He adds, If he be not, why doth he mention this as usefull in this matter? |
A62864 | He adds, May not I boldly say, that once the infants of all covenanters had this priviledge? |
A62864 | He circumcised them when God had commanded; And was circumcising the call? |
A62864 | He goes on, And what is this Syntax that is so clear? |
A62864 | He ● aith, If he be wonder why the uniform consent of them that infants are to be baptized should not prevail with him? |
A62864 | Here then the Question between us is not, Whether the natural issue of Abraham by Isaac and Jacob were taken into Covenant? |
A62864 | His house are we; wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if yee will hear his voyce,& c. So as if the question bee what voice? |
A62864 | How are ye? |
A62864 | How came there to be so strict a conjunction between Priesthood, Temple, Sanhedrim,& c. as that the Church must needs fall when they fall? |
A62864 | How came there to be so strict a conjunction between the Church and their membership, as that the Church must needs fall when they fall? |
A62864 | How can Christ bid them, Go and disciple all Nations, if infants and so all the Nation are utterly uncapable of being disciples? |
A62864 | How comes any man ● o bee a childs proxy, who doth not make hi ● so? |
A62864 | How could you allege Dr. Field without considering how you wrong''d your self? |
A62864 | How doth it appear that what the Jews did we may do? |
A62864 | How is it proved that any are visible members of the Christian Church, but by profession of faith? |
A62864 | How is the word vindicated from all necessity that it should be confined to grown men? |
A62864 | How little know they the difference between Christ and Moses, that think they might then be churchmembers and not now? |
A62864 | How oft would I have g ● thered? |
A62864 | How prove you that it was a blemish to the old frame, that infants were members? |
A62864 | How then is it true which here he saith they ceased to have a visible right to the promise till they raigned repentance? |
A62864 | How they can make good the regularity of Church- consti ● ution, and the ordination of Elders, who have no other baptism but that in infancy? |
A62864 | How understand you Pauls discourse about the members and body? |
A62864 | How unequal would the distribution ● e of this verse, not suitable to the lawes of expression among rational men? |
A62864 | I answer, saith he, fully: If this be the question, what is the condition on which God in Scripture bestoweth this infant holiness? |
A62864 | I had thought they had been on the party that are called Contra- remonstrants? |
A62864 | I say, do they know this? |
A62864 | I suppose we are agreed what a Church visible is? |
A62864 | I ● it not a mercy to be freed from it? |
A62864 | If I did not, why doth hee suggest as if in this conclusion hee asserted more then I do? |
A62864 | If a wicked man ea ● his meat without seeking a blessing on it, or giving thanks, will any one say that he hath not a lawfull use of the creature? |
A62864 | If by writing is not the act transeunt? |
A62864 | If he and Mr. Rogers can so easily say and unsay, who can give credit to men that can thus blow hot and cold wi ● h the same breath? |
A62864 | If he mean it of that species or sort of Ministerial call, then what sort is that? |
A62864 | If i ● be( saith he) no carnal Churchstate to have infants in heaven, why is it a carnal Churchstate which containeth infants in it on earth? |
A62864 | If it be asked what is an invisible Churchmember, will any that is in his wits say hee is a visible Churchmember? |
A62864 | If it be by voice is not that transient? |
A62864 | If it be this same, then how comes a meer transeunt fact to work effectually so many hundred years after it is past? |
A62864 | If it determine not the kind of good formally nor virtually, nor contain it generically; then how doth it make it probable? |
A62864 | If it intend more then this, then it is not verified or fulfilled in this much; if it intend no more, then how doth it make their salvation probable? |
A62864 | If it were only the outward, how did it take saving effect in the elect? |
A62864 | If only of Jews, how must the Gentiles be saved? |
A62864 | If plain Scripture will not satisfie these men, why then do they call for Scripture? |
A62864 | If the Jews Church constitution before Moses time was such as took in infants, why not after Moses time? |
A62864 | If the adding of all these ceremonies did not make a new Church, or overthrow the old, why should the taking of them away overthrow it? |
A62864 | If the special priviledge to the children doth suppose the parents call, why not also the childrens call? |
A62864 | If the succession be broken off upon the Jews unbelief, why not upon the unbelief of each ancestor? |
A62864 | If there were, is there no other promise to be ratified by such a Seal but that? |
A62864 | If therefore God have made general promises as to age and person, who is he that dare limit it, without just proof that indeed God hath limited it? |
A62864 | If they of N. E. do fold them up in the Church, why do they keep them from Church- communion till they bee made members by Church- covenant? |
A62864 | If this doctrine be true, why may we not expect to be taught, that infants must also be cast out of heaven, in mercy to the whole catholick Church? |
A62864 | If unbelief brake them, will not repentance graff them in? |
A62864 | Imo haec omnia praedestinationis effecta sunt: quomodo igitur possunt statui praedestinationis causae? |
A62864 | In what regard is the new frame better ● d by casting out infants which were in the old? |
A62864 | Is Mr. B. allowed to accuse in generals, and not to instance in particulars? |
A62864 | Is a Scottish Covenanter any other then one that makes a promise or subscribes to the Covenant? |

A62864 | Is any man called being uncircumcised? |
A62864 | Is any man the wiser for a meer Negative? |
A62864 | Is baptizing all one with sealing? |
A62864 | Is infants church- membership essential to Church constitution? |
A62864 | Is it a physical action though a moral causation of some physical effect? |
A62864 | Is it in the word Church? |
A62864 | Is it meant first of Gods Law or Covenant enacting ▪ making, and constituting them a Church? |
A62864 | Is it not the body of Christ? |
A62864 | Is it not the body of Christ? |
A62864 | Is it sense to call that a covenant without a Trope, which is neither a promise nor a condition of a covenant? |
A62864 | Is not Churchmembership contained in[ God''s being their God, and taking them for his people thus in Covenant?] |
A62864 | Is not here comfort( but by a silly comforter) to all the Jewes themselves? |
A62864 | Is not the nature, end, and use of Sacram ● ● ts or holy engaging signs and seals, the same to all? |
A62864 | Is not the wonderfull success of the Gospel one of our strong arguments for the truth of the Gospel and our Christian Religion? |
A62864 | Is not this a contradiction, to say all invisible members are visible? |
A62864 | Is not this enough to make his cause suspicious? |
A62864 | Is not this the manner of quakers and scolds? |
A62864 | Is nothing written in Scripture but expresly? |
A62864 | Is that a ceremony to a thing which is the substance of it? |
A62864 | Is that his charity? |
A62864 | Is the substance of a being a distinct thing from it? |
A62864 | Is there any Translator or Commentator afore him that hath thus expounded it? |
A62864 | Is this a safe ground to build so great a weight on? |
A62864 | Is this establishing Covenant or promise but a transeunt fact? |
A62864 | Is this such doctrine as were enough to break their hearts? |
A62864 | Is this the Gospel- covenant to make a people only reputatively and outwardly, but not really adopted: Is this that which circumcision did seal? |
A62864 | Is this the covenant of grace which the seal is to follow? |
A62864 | It is: But wh ● se is it? |
A62864 | Keturahs children were Churchmembers in infancy: I enquire of you by what act they were made such? |
A62864 | Lot came out of Ur with Abraham, yea and from Haran, and lived with him: were not Lot and his infants Churchmembers then? |
A62864 | Master Sidenham will have infants by the words[ your children] will he say the promise was then offered to them, and they then under the call of God? |
A62864 | May I not also exact of you to shew when and where this was taken away? |
A62864 | May he have liberty, as in a Chancery bill hath been wo nt, to put in all he can imagine, whether true or false? |
A62864 | May not any thing be from heaven or by Gods appointment which is derived from a Jewish custome? |
A62864 | Mr M. adds, And did any orthodox Divines before your self, charge this to be Arminianism, to say that the Gospel runs upon conditions? |
A62864 | Mr. B. adds, But why do I expect th ● ● when hee suspendeth his judgement? |
A62864 | Mr. B. adds, If it were asked what benefit had the Circumcision? |
A62864 | Mr. C. in this passage speaks so obscurely that it is hard to say what he drives at, and I may take up the saying, reed me a riddle what''s this? |
A62864 | Mr. M. asks, But if we Gentiles have it not, then are not we, I pray you, straightned in that particular? |
A62864 | Much more to call this the Copy of Abraham the Father of believers? |
A62864 | My answer was right, and to his Demand, where it is found in the word of God? |
A62864 | Name mee one place in the New Testament, that more evidently speaks in an expository way of any Text in the Old? |
A62864 | No; Or do they baptize them out of Covenant? |
A62864 | Now can this be good sense to be all the world, the Kingdomes of the world, and to be called or separated from or out of the world? |
A62864 | Now doth Christ break off all infants from his body, that he may come in the flesh to be a greater mercy to them? |
A62864 | Now how doth Mr. Geree wipe this away? |
A62864 | Now is not that a strong ground of hope, that so dying, they shall not be damned? |
A62864 | Now must I throw away that which is past doubt because of that which is doubtfull? |
A62864 | Now were all these members elected will any say? |
A62864 | Now what doth Mr. C. answer? |
A62864 | Now what is the blessing of Abraham? |
A62864 | Now what promise was that? |
A62864 | Now what saith Mr. Bl to this? |
A62864 | Now what saith Mr. Geree to this? |
A62864 | Now what saith Mr. Sidenham to this? |
A62864 | Now who are this seed of Abrhaam? |
A62864 | Now who dare expound thi ● thus? |
A62864 | O what a Church might we have had, and were likely to have had? |
A62864 | O what work have you made your self? |
A62864 | Or did every new ceremony that was added make a new Church, or constitution of the Church? |
A62864 | Or have you not seen enough to make you suspect and fear whether indeed God own your way or not? |
A62864 | Or how could it be any part of the cause? |
A62864 | Or if infants were Church- members long before either Temple, or Sanedrim, or High Priest,& c. Why may they not be so when these are down? |
A62864 | Or is it in the term[ member?] |
A62864 | Or is it meant of Gods immediate call from heaven to Abraham or any others to bring them into the Covenant? |
A62864 | Or what day? |
A62864 | Pag 153. what saith Mr. B. to this? |
A62864 | Qu 1. did ● o ● o nomine cease to be Churchmembers, though they forsook not God? |
A62864 | Quid festinat innocens aetas ad remissionem peccatorum? |
A62864 | Quo teneam nodo? |
A62864 | Saith he, And I pray you tell me yet a little better, how an act can make a man a Churchmember that was one long before that was done? |
A62864 | Saith he, Are not little ones here named? |
A62864 | Saith he, But I further answer: What if this were not understood? |
A62864 | Saith he, I demand did they continue in the Church visible, when upon execution of such a decree they were cast out of the Church invisible? |
A62864 | Saith he, Why should Moses say, here stand your children and wives, that not they but you might enter into Covenant? |
A62864 | Sir, was this the Covenant of works? |
A62864 | Sir, was this the covenant of works? |
A62864 | So Mr. T. saith, It is a mercy to the whole catholicke Church: But what is that to infants who are unchurched? |
A62864 | So that our enquiry must be Whether the Congregation and the Commonwealth be the same thing in your sense?] |
A62864 | Such as I believe the Sun never saw, nor the wisest Lawyer in England ever read before? |
A62864 | Suppose I could not assign the day, is not the thing true? |
A62864 | That I raise a doubt whether[ any] covenant made with Abraham be simply Evangelical? |
A62864 | That baptism seals that promise in which God engageth himself to be the God of believing Christians, and their seed? |
A62864 | That infants of beleevers have salvation, if they die in their infancy, by ver ● ue of the Covenant? |
A62864 | That the Jews and their rejection was the ground of the Gentiles? |
A62864 | That they know not what mercy it is that is here promised, whether common or special: To which I answer: what if they know not? |
A62864 | That 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, such children should stay till three or four years old more, or less? |
A62864 | That[ he will be their God] is his promise: but is that all the Covenant? |
A62864 | The absolute promise is to give faith: Is not God and Man in like manner engaged by baptism in sealing this as well as the other? |
A62864 | The first question in order fit to be resolved is[ whether infants before Christs incarnation were Churchmembers? |
A62864 | The objection still holds, How can baptism seal to an infant? |
A62864 | The question between us is no ● so mu ● h Whether infants may be baptized? |
A62864 | Then I would fain be resolved in this whether Christ took upon him onely the nature of the Jews, or of the Jews and Gentiles both? |
A62864 | Then it was no mercy to the Jews you think, but to us Gentiles: But our question is, whether it be a mercy to the unchurched infants? |
A62864 | Then the Gentiles, Pagans infants now, are happier then the Jews were then; for the Pagans and their infants are out of the Church? |
A62864 | There is no common nature of a Sacrament expressed in Scripture, therefore Baptism is not a Sacrament, more then in this? |
A62864 | There shall be no more thence an infant of days; How can thi ● be understood litterally? |
A62864 | There was no such question as Mr. B. would impose on mee, as if I doubted whether any infant should bee saved? |
A62864 | They have the word or promise, which is the greater; who can inhibite the sign which is the less? |
A62864 | This very reply what is it but a vain shift? |
A62864 | This was the way which he often attempted, which is implied in the phrase, how often would I? |
A62864 | To his qustion, If all members of the visible Church be not Abrahams seed, what right have they to the seal of the covenant made to Abrahams seed? |
A62864 | To some a person may seem to be of the invisible Church, to others not, is he of the visible Church or not? |
A62864 | To speak so contemptuously in such disparaging language of the Kingdome and Gospel of Christ? |
A62864 | To the Kings Supremacy what is parity among Elders in the Church? |
A62864 | To this Mr, M. But is not this the same sense with mine? |
A62864 | To this Mr. M. Where i ● Circumcision compared to burial, and wherein I pray you lies the analogy between them? |
A62864 | To this he replies, How doth that follow? |
A62864 | To this the Dr. saith, But I wonder what appearance of concludency there is in that reason? |
A62864 | To what other end should God command them? |
A62864 | To which I answer, they were; and ask him, Whether they were not without a saving faith? |
A62864 | To which I answer: There are abundance far greater given in their stead: And what is that then to those that have nothing in their stead? |
A62864 | To which I reply, Did he ever hear me deny it? |
A62864 | True: But do ● h hee term any infant so in those places? |
A62864 | True: but was this goodness or severity in respect of a meer visible Churchstate? |
A62864 | Was it but here one and there one when three thousand were converted at once, and five thousand afterwards? |
A62864 | Was it ever heard before from the mouth of man, that Christ succeeded churchmembership, as a thing that was to give place for him? |
A62864 | Was not Christs Church before his incarnation spiritual, and gathered in a spiritual way? |
A62864 | Was not Cornelius taken for unclean, and not of that Church, because uncircumcised? |
A62864 | Was not the Jewish people a Church before they had either a Temple, or Sanhedrim, or High Priest, or any of the ceremonies of the Law of Moses? |
A62864 | Was not the promise, saith he, made to them that then were? |
A62864 | Was there ever a Law or Covenant made in the world any other way ● hen by a transeunt fact? |
A62864 | Well, But may it not yet lie in the second point[ that they were all taken in to be a Church in one day?] |
A62864 | Were infants of Proselytes to be baptized because they were infants? |
A62864 | Were not they, saith he; captivated oft in the time of the Judges, and so it might at least be made good then? |
A62864 | Were not this a contemptible arguing? |
A62864 | Were they not aliens and strangers so much as from the Commonwealth of Israel? |
A62864 | What Commission, whence have the Church power to exchange and commute ones profession for anothers? |
A62864 | What Ordinance is there then which may be abused by receiving visible Church- membership? |
A62864 | What a hard word is this[ Churchmember?] |
A62864 | What a powerfull argument is here for a man to venture upon to unchurch all the infants in the world? |
A62864 | What advantage hath the Jew, and what profit the circumcision? |
A62864 | What aptitude hath the leading to Padan Aram, or removal to Aegypt, to make infants Churchmembers? |
A62864 | What can I i ● agine but that Mr. T. knowingly fastens this gross untruth upon mee? |
A62864 | What can be said against this that is sense or reason? |
A62864 | What day was that? |
A62864 | What he adds, I say therefore as Peter whither shall we go, if we forsake the Church? |
A62864 | What he adds, Indeed God chose the seed of Abraham ● n a special manner? |
A62864 | What if Mr. T. should use Magistrates as he doth infants( as former Anabaptists have done) hath he not as good ground? |
A62864 | What if all this were true? |
A62864 | What is Christs Kingdom but his Church? |
A62864 | What is that to Churchmembership? |
A62864 | What is the Church the Doctour means, that accepts a proxies profession in st ● ad of the childe? |

A62864 | What? |
A62864 | What? |
A62864 | What? |
A62864 | When they say, it is the administration of the Covenant, do they mean the Covenant or promise of the baptized to God, or Gods promise to the baptized? |
A62864 | When they say[ it is the administration of the Covenant] do they mean the outward or inward Covenant? |
A62864 | Where did God allow him to become a proxy or su ● ety for an infant? |
A62864 | Where is there mention of a seal? |
A62864 | Where then lies this peculiar call by the Magistrate? |
A62864 | Whether a man may not oblige himself to a duty meerly by his consent? |
A62864 | Whether any Jew at age was a member of the old Church without professing faith( in the Articles necessary to salvation) repentance and obedience? |
A62864 | Whether from thence Christ derived this right of baptizing Christians? |
A62864 | Whether it be nor against the Gospel to entitle p ● rsons to the Church visible Christian by their natural generation of beleevers? |

A62864 | Whether it be not manifest hypocrisie to oppose the Cross, Surplice,& c. and to be zealous for Infant baptism? |

A62864 | Why else doth the Jewish Church pray for her little sister that had no breasts? |
A62864 | Why may he not as well say, that all the body of the Jewish nation are now delivered by being cast out of the Church or Family of Christ? |
A62864 | Why should Paul thus break out in his affections, for the loss of outward privileges, if it were not such a mercy to be under them? |

A62864 | Would it be proper to say in his Pulpit( when he was speaking of the nature of holiness and chastity) sanctified Socrates, holy Aristides? |
A62864 | Would not a Scholler say he played the fool? |
A62864 | Yea but have they not a promise on which to ground this charitable presumption? |
A62864 | Yea, do I not dispute against it? |
A62864 | Yea, to justifie all Jews against this charge, that should neglect or refuse to engage their children to God in Covenant as members of his Church? |
A62864 | Yea; If by being out of Covenant be meant, that the Covenant of salvation is not made by God to them; then how come any to fall off and be damned? |
A62864 | Yet again saith Mr. B. like a brave Goliath, And are not all professors of Christianity in England, as truly in the Church as all in Israel were? |
A62864 | Yet again, What was it then that Abraham did more then now may be done? |
A62864 | Yet further, saith he, why then hath God made such promises to the parents for their seed? |
A62864 | [ Whether such laws, preceps, or grants as I shall prove, are capable of a repeal or revocation?] |
A62864 | [ Whether there be any transeunt fact of God, which without the efficiency of precept or promise did make the infants of Israel Churchmembers?] |
A62864 | [ Whether there be such precepts and promises as you grant( or as I shall prove) which yet make not infants Churchmembers?] |
A62864 | [ Whether they are actually revoked or repealed?] |
A62864 | [ Whether those which you have assigned be such facts?] |
A62864 | [ Which are the Texts of Scripture that contain or express the said laws, precepts, or grants which I maintain?] |
A62864 | [ Whosoever believeth not shall bee damned] that all infants are certainly damned? |
A62864 | a seal of the righteousness of faith? |
A62864 | and doth grace increase it? |
A62864 | and hath advanced us in his family, as the Heir at age is advanced? |
A62864 | and hath he not done so? |
A62864 | and how Christ can bid them disciple infants without making Christ a fool and a tyrant in commanding that which is ridiculous and impossible? |
A62864 | and how? |
A62864 | and if circumcised at any time by any of the godly Church guides consent, what gave them right to it? |
A62864 | and if no ●, how shall we know which is true, which not? |
A62864 | and is here no Covenant, where the mutual Covenant is described? |
A62864 | and many myriads or ten thousands even of the Jews that continued zealous of the Law did believe? |
A62864 | and not as a Prophet? |
A62864 | and so approve of the natural birth priviledge of our children in civil things? |
A62864 | and suffer his Church to be wrong framed till now? |
A62864 | and the Scripture encourage it? |
A62864 | and tho first unresolved, is[ what Church it is that infants were members of?] |
A62864 | and to how many generations? |
A62864 | and was the uncircumcised Host onely in the Wilderness the Church? |
A62864 | and what a sort of new political Doctrine shall we have from you, when these things are accomplished according to the frame you have begun? |
A62864 | and what constituteth it formally? |
A62864 | and what seed of Abraham did it come on? |
A62864 | and what th ● t was? |
A62864 | and what the substantial terms of the Covenant? |
A62864 | and what you imagine that precept or promise to be which I assert? |
A62864 | and whether the moral action of that law were permanent or transient? |
A62864 | and whether you may not as well make all the acts from Abrahams call till Christ to be one fact, and assign it to this office? |
A62864 | and why not of a Church? |
A62864 | and would they take it well? |
A62864 | and yet are they excluded? |
A62864 | and yet is it, that they may be turned from their iniquity? |
A62864 | and yet must they take it for a mercy, that their children are put out? |
A62864 | are any of these essential to their Church constitution? |
A62864 | are infants such ● ● ads or Vipers in comparison of men of years, that it is a mercy to the whole catholicke Church to have them cast out? |
A62864 | as Whether they are in the number of Christians, and to be added as members to the visible Church? |
A62864 | as if it were but to one infant in a nation in reprieving him a day from damnation? |

A62864 | because the whole city was moved, saying, who is this? |

A62864 | did the son beget the years, or the years the son? |
A62864 | doth he conclude definitely of baptism here? |
A62864 | doth he not expresly term them Saints by their calling not by their Baptism? |
A62864 | doth here, Here''s a new creation of a new generation[ son of the bow, of perdition, of the earth] who ev ● r heard such a syntax? |
A62864 | doth it follow that is not the meaning which I give? |
A62864 | except the Anabaptists, who reject the benefit; whose case( as I said before) I will not presume to determine? |
A62864 | had it not been for the Separatists and you? |
A62864 | how absurd were that? |
A62864 | how can these two be right? |
A62864 | how do men enter into covenant, but by some act testifying assent to a promise? |
A62864 | if God hath given them the like gift as unto us that believe on the Lord J ● sus Christ, who was I that I could forbid God? |
A62864 | if ungodly progenitors intervene? |
A62864 | infants were moved saying, who is this? |
A62864 | is Covenant- fellowship all one with the Covenant? |
A62864 | is it not for their advantage? |
A62864 | is it to as many as the Lord shall call, or convert, or cause to repent? |
A62864 | is it to persons called, and yet also to uncalled persons? |
A62864 | is it to them that they may be called, yet the persons to whom the promise is, are as many as are supposed to be called? |
A62864 | is meant of Christs entring into his rest? |
A62864 | is there the least colour for the consequence from hence? |

A62864 | may it not be a Church without these? |
A62864 | may ● it not be a Church without these? |

A62864 | why then doth Master Blake so ineptly intimate me to be singular in my conceit? |
A62864 | why, do you not know what a[ member] is? |

A39566 | & c. after he had washed their feet he saies to them: know you what I have done to you? |
A39566 | & c. to particularize more punctually then we? |
A39566 | ( have a care of your shinnes( good now) by all means) do the children of believers fall from it? |
A39566 | ( quid rides? |
A39566 | ( saies he) no nor so much as heard of it,( say they) no? |
A39566 | ( saies the Pope) when you question him for his Dedicative holiness, if so once why not now? |
A39566 | * Whether the magistrate be the minister of Christ, as God onley, or as Mediatour also, I mean God man? |

A39566 | ?) |
A39566 | Again you had much need( had you not think you?) |
A39566 | Again, I would ask what warrand they have for dipping, or baptizing garments more then the Papists have for baptizing bells? |
A39566 | Again, who holds or practises such a thing as naked dipping of women and maids? |
A39566 | An deus potius non fuisse? |
A39566 | And Thirdly be taken up again as A. R. and you seem to reason? |
A39566 | And as Peter in his first preaching the praeceptory part of Christs Gospel to the Jews, when they enquired what they should do? |
A39566 | And how no answer, but no answer, Dr. Chamberlain had from Dr. Gouge to this question, Whether the sprinkling of Infants were of God or man? |
A39566 | And lastly whereas Mr. Baxter queries so oft when Mr. Tombs would have such baptized, the set time of whose conversion? |
A39566 | And lastly, whereas he challenges us to shew where ever God pronounced any blessed, and yet took them for none of his visible Church? |
A39566 | And now because you ask how we know they have faith whom we baptize? |
A39566 | And now why tarriest thou? |
A39566 | And what mean you by your Pastors leaving you to take up some other call or imployment? |
A39566 | And what then? |
A39566 | And whereas he saies of infants may they not be called Gods servants from the meer interest of dominion that God hath to them? |
A39566 | Are soules all equal in their Creation, and are souls which are all equal the subject of faith? |
A39566 | Are these your Examples of baptizing otherwaies then by dipping? |
A39566 | Are you not ashamed of such a blind businesse as this? |
A39566 | Buried? |
A39566 | But Sirs is it so in earnest in your opinion, that no baptism no hope of salvation? |
A39566 | But Sirs, will this hold a triall think you by the word? |
A39566 | But by what proofs do they confirm they have the true Church? |
A39566 | But if you stand so much on the signification of the word, why do you not drown persons when you baptize them? |
A39566 | But is it so Sirs? |
A39566 | But is it so that 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 signifies in and is so rendred in that place, and many more? |
A39566 | But quorsum haec? |
A39566 | But should you help the ungodly, and love them that hate the Lord? |
A39566 | But then what simple stuff were this? |
A39566 | But what if this be but a meer Chimaera of these mens coining, how much lesse are we then excused in our non- submission? |
A39566 | But what of this? |
A39566 | But where was your Church then all this while till these latter times? |
A39566 | Can any man forbid water why these should not be baptized, which have received the holy spirit as well as we? |
A39566 | Can you be baptized in a better manner think you then that wherein Iohn baptized Christ, and Philip the Eunuch? |
A39566 | Coventry, Cheapside, Charing,& others? |
A39566 | Daniel was thrown into and taken up out of the Lyons den, does not that shew plainly enough that he was in it? |
A39566 | Did I give, and grant so much? |
A39566 | Did not Philip baptize the Samaritans and the Eunuch? |
A39566 | Do not the infants of unbelievers very often prove believers, and so elect, and precious? |
A39566 | Do you know any thing against the particular infant of an heathen? |
A39566 | Doth not Philip to one that askt him this question, why may I not be baptized? |
A39566 | Easter, Christmas, Whitsunday,& c. didst not thou O Presbyter? |
A39566 | Fifthly, any where viz: at home or abroad, in Inns or other places, as occasion is, but onely or for the most part in your great stone houses? |
A39566 | Fiftly, if as to the time of those two services, the question be askt Quando? |
A39566 | First do you conclude that all the children of believing parents have it now? |
A39566 | First which way come your natural seed, you being but Gentiles in the flesh, to be the seed of Abraham? |
A39566 | First, Risum teneatis amici? |
A39566 | First, Si aliquid quare non quicquid? |
A39566 | First, if we ask( as de subjecto) this question quis? |
A39566 | First, is it so that the command to circumcise infants is vertually a command to us to baptize them? |
A39566 | For First, is there no Medium between being a reprobate, and a present having the holy spirit? |
A39566 | Fourthly, if, as to the quality, special properties, uses, ends and offices of these two dispensations, the question be asked in quale quid? |
A39566 | Go teach all Nations baptizing them, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I command you, and now why tarriest thou? |
A39566 | God forbid: know ye not that every one that''s baptized into Christ, is baptized into his death? |
A39566 | Good Lord how is the practise of the truth made a reproach unto thy people, and a derision dayly? |
A39566 | Good Sirs, what mean you by this? |
A39566 | He answers, the commission being for all Nations disciples were made in all Countreys; how soone saith he came the word to this Nation? |
A39566 | Here reason demands of you why after baptism you admit not infants to the supper? |
A39566 | Holland, Germany,& c. and bring the word unto us, that we may hear it and do it? |
A39566 | How can a man escape choaking Sirs, if he be put and kept under the water? |
A39566 | How do those men and women that are baptized at years make it appear to those that baptize them, that they have faith and the holy spirit? |
A39566 | How often shall I adjure you the next time you write to write no more then truth at least in matter of fact? |
A39566 | How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? |
A39566 | How you gather from these places a dipping of the whole man over head and under water? |
A39566 | How? |
A39566 | I am sure it was a custome before we were born; how shall our children come to have names, if they be not Christned? |
A39566 | I answer how many and in how short a time does the man mean? |
A39566 | I answer, who doubts of that? |
A39566 | I beseech you Sirs, upon what grounds? |
A39566 | I demand therefore yet once again, what seed of Abraham your infants are, in that thereupon you undertake( as so) to baptize them? |
A39566 | I pray Sirs, what''s become of the odd five and a half? |
A39566 | I reply thus, were not Abraham, Isaac and Iacob their fleshly fathers? |
A39566 | I say what a bald way of arguing is this? |
A39566 | I wonder who baptized Iohn the Baptist, that was the greatest administrator that ever was? |
A39566 | I wonder who those are? |
A39566 | I would know with these new dippers saith Mr. Cook, whether the parties to be doused and dipped may be baptized in a garment, or no? |
A39566 | I''le saie it again that you may consider it, for sure you did not consider what you said when you said it, what children of day old? |
A39566 | Iesus Christ is in you except ye be Reprobates? |
A39566 | If any should ask this question, what hinders why I may not eat the supper? |
A39566 | If it be further askt, how faith is bread in them? |
A39566 | If it be inquired how faith can be said to be in them without their consent? |
A39566 | If it was so? |
A39566 | If under the Law, why not under the Gospel? |
A39566 | If you will have any thing holy with that Ceremonial holiness now, why not every thing that then was so? |
A39566 | Impertinency? |
A39566 | Is it not the work of the spirit to infuse faith? |
A39566 | Is it so Sirs, that the spirit is not tyed to work by means in little children, in the same cases, wherein he works by means in men, and women? |
A39566 | Is not faith a work as well as repentance, and the rest? |
A39566 | Is that Scripture think you intended to infants? |
A39566 | It makes them count the blood of the Covenant an unholy thing, for if it be holy, what need they repeat it? |
A39566 | It s own name? |
A39566 | Just so Sirs, and not a jot otherwise? |
A39566 | Let them gain what they can, whom can they gain? |
A39566 | Let us search, and try, and turn, was there ever any confession of sin without it? |
A39566 | Moreover if the Apostles did lay on hands at years, though Christ in infancy ▪ what if Christ had baptized those infants in infancy also? |
A39566 | Mothers, as well as by the hands of the Pries ● s onely? |
A39566 | Must they not go down to the water( saith he) if they would use it? |
A39566 | No Sirs? |
A39566 | No Sirs? |
A39566 | No certainly, And why not? |
A39566 | No? |
A39566 | No? |
A39566 | Nothing more ordinary then to have words out of their prime signification? |
A39566 | Now if it be the sincerity that is looked after, who knoweth what day or year the child began to be sincere in his profession? |
A39566 | O ye house of Levi is the spirit of the Lord thus streitned? |
A39566 | Quis? |
A39566 | Reason say you? |
A39566 | Rivers, Iordan, Enon, many waters, and why? |
A39566 | Secondly be kept under water to signifie his burial? |
A39566 | Secondly kept under water to signify his burial? |
A39566 | Secondly why do you, or how can you sign them as heirs of the Gospel promise so simply upon that account only? |
A39566 | Secondly( Risum teneatis amici?) |
A39566 | Secondly, Si aliqualitèr, quarè non aequalitèr? |
A39566 | Secondly, all male servants upon the masters single faith, as well as male children on the fathers? |
A39566 | Secondly, are you sure they were infants of believers of whom Christ saies, whoever offends one of these little ones that believe in me? |
A39566 | Secondly, do you know so precisely which infants are Elect, and which Reprobate, as to take upon you to distinguish them by baptism? |
A39566 | Secondly, how doth it appear at all that godly and believing parents children then had faith more usually then children of ungodly parents? |
A39566 | Secondly, how far forth do they make it appear to you? |
A39566 | Secondly, if( as to the nature, matter and essential form or being of the Rites themselves) we ask the question quid? |
A39566 | Secondly, let me ask you, is Gods witness, Gods testimony true, or is it false? |
A39566 | Secondly, what are these littles to the lump? |
A39566 | Secondly, when had they it begotten in them? |
A39566 | Secondly, whereas t is askt what persons are to say or do,( at the administration of laying hands) that they may be found faithful in that point? |
A39566 | Seventhly, if( as to the account and warrant) it be demanded Cur? |
A39566 | Si aliquando quare non nunc? |
A39566 | Sirs where is the blessedness you speak of? |
A39566 | Sirs, let me ask you two questions, first are you sure these are infants indeed? |
A39566 | Sirs, what children of the Jews had faith in their infancy witnessed by Circumcision, were they the children of the believing or unbelieving Jews? |
A39566 | Sirs, what pretty intricate blind bo- beep Divinity is this of yours? |
A39566 | Sixthly, if, as to the administrator, it be ask quibus auxiliis? |
A39566 | Some who are those I trow? |
A39566 | That the Covenant of grace is for substance not two but in all ages one and the same within it self who denies? |
A39566 | There may he washings though, and dippings too, but what needs such a totall dipping as you use? |
A39566 | Therefore S ● rs, how hath Satan bewitched you that you can not believe and obey the truth? |
A39566 | They lose it again when they come to more years, else why are they taught the element of faith? |
A39566 | Thirdly if, as to the place where, we ask the question ubi? |
A39566 | Thirdly, is it any more evident to you that all believers infants are taught of God, then t is that unbelievers infants are taught by him? |
A39566 | Thirdly, on the eighth day onely, and neither sooner nor later, nor one day before it nor behind it? |
A39566 | Thirdly, was Circumcision Gods witness, yea Gods seal to assure men of thus much, that those children to whom it was set had faith? |
A39566 | Thirdly, what judgement do you passe upon believers infants to be the subjects of baptism, rather then other infants? |
A39566 | This is aliud a negato; a plain absurd a berration from the question, which is not whether it be a sin ordinarily to dip naked or no? |
A39566 | Thou tellest us, Suppose the Saints and churches ought to have held fast their administration of ordinances to this day, yet what of that? |
A39566 | To those without? |
A39566 | To which I reply, saith he, where is your Scripture for that? |
A39566 | Totally drowned? |
A39566 | Unless they be baptized in their infancy? |
A39566 | Was not that of Paul spoken of man onely at years? |
A39566 | Well then they were broken off: but why? |
A39566 | Well what if it was so in the primitive times, that total dipping was the custome, must it therefore needs be so now? |
A39566 | What Infants of a day old? |
A39566 | What Sirs is the Gospel, the plain simple gospel, such a maeander as this? |
A39566 | What a strange conceit is this? |
A39566 | What again? |
A39566 | What again? |
A39566 | What again? |
A39566 | What an egregious untruth is there? |
A39566 | What force therefore is in this Argument to conclude against the truth of our way? |
A39566 | What frivolous quibling is all this? |
A39566 | What is that Analogy and Agreement which is between the sign and the thing signifyed in baptism? |
A39566 | What is the result of this discourse, to forbid all disputation with HHHim? |
A39566 | What is this to the present question and position concerning no more inclinablenesse to holy actions in children of Christians, then of infidels? |
A39566 | What pretty Checker work is there in your judgements about one and the same thing? |
A39566 | What prety Gim- cracks are here? |
A39566 | What quarrels and jarres between the Fryers of several orders? |
A39566 | What saith he if we could not prove that the English Church was before Luther, Must it needs follow that the doctrine we hold is untrue? |
A39566 | What still Sirs? |
A39566 | What then? |
A39566 | Where should this bath be prepared? |
A39566 | Where was your Church before Luther? |
A39566 | Whether infants were the true subject? |
A39566 | Whether it be just to load them that still stick to the truth, with the blame of all their blasphemies that go off from it? |
A39566 | Whether sprinkling were the true manner of baptizing? |
A39566 | Whether their profession, since it is possible they may lie, can make it appear infallibly? |
A39566 | Which of all these three are to be found in your aspersion? |
A39566 | Who sees not the weaknesse, the wretchednesse of this consequence? |
A39566 | Why then should not children under the Gospel receive baptism, which the Adversaries confess to be the Seal of the Gospel- Covenant? |
A39566 | Yea Sirs? |
A39566 | Yea Sirs? |
A39566 | Yea say you so? |
A39566 | Yea surely Sirs, why not? |
A39566 | above all men, who so strenuously contends that by the word Kingdoms of this world is meant not in part only, but the whole kingdom? |
A39566 | all the dying infants of unbelievers? |
A39566 | all your skill in Physiogmony can never find it: or can you argue ad negationem habitus, to no holiness in an infidels infant more then in anothers? |
A39566 | and I said what shall I do Lord? |
A39566 | and also concerning a people, that were already baptized with the spirit, asks who can forbid water why these may not be baptized? |
A39566 | and also to what purpose did she perform it? |
A39566 | and are not soules which are all equall in their creation the subject of it? |
A39566 | and as ordinarily believers infants( when they come to years I mean) prove reprobates? |
A39566 | and doth not that imply that else he might not? |
A39566 | and doth not this evince as much for women? |
A39566 | and have not works,& c. whereby onely faith is proved to be true indeed as it is professed, can that faith save him? |
A39566 | and how can they be sent to preach to infants that understand not what is said? |
A39566 | and how can they hear without a preacher? |
A39566 | and how can they preach except they be sent? |
A39566 | and how hear without a Preacher? |
A39566 | and how much more the losse of Christ himself? |
A39566 | and how much more then ours? |
A39566 | and if no analogie why are we said sacramentally in baptism to be buried, and raised? |
A39566 | and if not, why not be satisfied that it was preacht by some at least of Christs Apostles to all baptized believers? |
A39566 | and if so, then must not this unbelieving parent being a Root, have the same kind of holiness the child hath? |
A39566 | and if so, why he blames us more then himself, that, do what we can, so many run to ruin? |
A39566 | and if you do, is this habit innat ● s, acquisitus or infusus, by birth, or begotten in them by frequent acts of holiness, or infused from above? |
A39566 | and is it the consequent that the children of believing parents have it now? |
A39566 | and is not swilling under water a more effectuall way of washing and clensing then sprinkling? |
A39566 | and is that seal of his firm to, i. e, so sure that it can not fail? |
A39566 | and row why tarriest thou? |
A39566 | and so upwards till we come thither, are you able if we ask you who sprinkled you? |
A39566 | and such judgement is as due to one of these as to the other? |
A39566 | and such like how little do these look each like the other? |
A39566 | and suppose liberal and bountiful maintenance, and rich Revenues to be the chief corner stone in their church work? |
A39566 | and that a similitude of Christs death, burial and rising again, to be represented by dipping in water, is signified here? |
A39566 | and the trembling and astonished said Lord what wilt thou have me to do? |
A39566 | and though remote ones, yet were they not their true fathers after the flesh still as much as ever? |
A39566 | and to the company at Cornelius''s house, and Ananias in his to Paul, when he quaeried what he should do? |
A39566 | and what need at all that the Committees be so cumbered with the care of such affairs? |
A39566 | and whether because they all desired to go to heaven, therefore they were at heaven? |
A39566 | and who hath brought up these? |
A39566 | and who him? |
A39566 | and who him? |
A39566 | and who him? |
A39566 | and who him? |
A39566 | and who him? |
A39566 | and who him? |
A39566 | and who him? |
A39566 | and who ordained those that ordained you? |
A39566 | and who them? |
A39566 | and who them? |
A39566 | and who them? |
A39566 | and why not male servants though unbelieving Moores, Turks or Pagans if of believing masters? |
A39566 | and why should not this administration of the covenant in outward ordinances be after the manner of that of old? |
A39566 | and why then? |
A39566 | and yet do these include and comprize infants as much as men at years? |
A39566 | and you Presbyterians where was your Church before Calvin? |
A39566 | are infants of a day old capable of Baptism, that can not so much as be instructed in principles much less be begotten to the true Religion? |
A39566 | are not repentance from dead works, and belief towards God with all the heart, and confession of sins, and calling on God such kind of matters? |
A39566 | are not these priviledges belonging to men, why then( if yours and Mr Marshalls assertion be true) not to infants as well as men? |
A39566 | are the seed of true believers true converts mostly by birth? |
A39566 | are these your doings? |
A39566 | are they not among the number of souls capable to eat, every one pro suo modulo, according to the measure of his eating and digestion? |
A39566 | are they not mercies, administrations, merciful administrations of God, extended to all nations? |
A39566 | are they shut out of the kingdom of heaven? |
A39566 | are we more tied to follow his example in that, then in the dispensation of laying on of hands? |
A39566 | are you able to assign who began our way of baptism first of all in the world, unlesse you begin as high as Iohn the baptist? |
A39566 | are you not then condemned out of your own mouths to perpetual abhorring? |
A39566 | are your Pastors also such Idol shepheards, as it may be supposed now and then will leave their flocks for any other imployment? |
A39566 | as I am sure we can not warrantably, because not congruously, do otherwise? |
A39566 | baptism for the Hot Countryes; and Rantism for the Cold? |
A39566 | baptism, may stand in some proportion to its signatum, as well as the other i. e. circumcision? |
A39566 | because he had told them above that there should come one, that should delude many with lyes? |
A39566 | because the kingdomes of this world are, or else shall be the kindomes of God and Christ? |
A39566 | behold I was left alone, these where have they been? |
A39566 | besides what more to believers than unbelievers infants? |
A39566 | both branded for reprobates? |
A39566 | both which men direct their different doctrines to Mr. Tombes in order to his direction: but how shall that man be resolved? |
A39566 | but if they had none in infancy, then how can you deny but that they had none? |
A39566 | but may they thereupon be called disciples, and be baptized? |
A39566 | but no marvel if the Cat winckt, when both her eyes were out? |
A39566 | but what of that? |
A39566 | but what then? |
A39566 | but whether Rome be that universal Church or no that can not erre? |
A39566 | but whether we ordinarily use that kind of dipping? |
A39566 | by believing: nay the spiritual seed: quid ni? |
A39566 | by fleshly descent? |
A39566 | by whose hands these ordinances are to be administred? |
A39566 | can some scores of well meaning Priests give the denomination of an holy PPriesthood, godly Ministry to those legions of them that lie in wickednesse? |
A39566 | commission plain enough to baptism infants, where all nations are bid to be discipled and baptized? |
A39566 | could that water that toucht his legs while he waded, be more mischievous to him, then the water that washed the blood of his stripes? |
A39566 | creed that God hath promised to be merciful to Godly mens seed in general, in contradistinction to the seed of the wicked? |
A39566 | cu ●? |
A39566 | cui nativitas ei facultas auctrix, nutrix; et quare non nutrimentum? |
A39566 | denies it, with whom how often is it exprest that baptism is the first visible entrance into it? |
A39566 | did he build them upon one part of the foundation, and not on the other part? |
A39566 | did he constitute them partly upon it, and partly beside it? |
A39566 | did he no more then sprinkle, or pour a few drops of water on him? |
A39566 | did not some of you Masters, Provosts, Fellowes of Colledges and such like? |
A39566 | did not ye O Presbyterians? |
A39566 | did you press them to death i th''Press, or lose them i th''Ashes, whetein you had a design to have smothered it all? |
A39566 | do we not in common loquution say the same, while we say sprinkled in a font, or in a Bason? |
A39566 | do you believe in God the Father, and Christ& c. and will you be baptized in this faith? |
A39566 | dost thou forsake the divel? |
A39566 | doth it prove baptism to be the cause of that grosness that often followes, when a person is baptized? |
A39566 | doth our denying baptism to an infant before he dies send him to hell sooner then your delaying it till he be dead? |
A39566 | doth that phrase( I say) they which be of faith signifie believers infants? |
A39566 | drowning, racking, fleaing, stabbing, tearing with hot pincers, and( to use his own phrase) the severest punishments they could devise? |
A39566 | first I wonder how they came by it, sith the word saies faith comes by hearing, and how can there be believing on him of whom they have not heard? |
A39566 | for 42. months, or a 1260 years, as theirs was for 70 years? |
A39566 | for either he was baptized surely, or else he was not, if he was ever baptized at all, who baptized him? |
A39566 | for how does he speak, and that out of these Scriptures we are upon, that we ought thus to be baptized? |
A39566 | for none denies but that it hath, but whether the Pope be at all that head? |
A39566 | for the living to the dead? |
A39566 | for what else can they pretend? |
A39566 | for when he queries who can? |
A39566 | from the Gospel to a law long since ended? |
A39566 | from the living to the dead? |
A39566 | from the substance to the shadow? |
A39566 | from the truth to the type? |
A39566 | have any of the Rulers of the Pharisees believed on him? |
A39566 | have not you the CCClergy? |
A39566 | have ye received the holy spirit since ye believed? |
A39566 | he to infants, and they onely to persons past infancy? |
A39566 | how are thy depths, even thy downright deliveries of soul saving truth in plainess of speech by the mouths of stammerers stark duncery to them? |
A39566 | how can Turks and Pagans infants be saved? |
A39566 | how can they be saved if they die unchristned? |
A39566 | how can they believe on him of whom they have not heard? |
A39566 | how crookedly close do you keep to your own coppy? |
A39566 | how different are they? |
A39566 | how else could they have known it? |
A39566 | how far do they differ? |
A39566 | how far do you fall short of the Jewes in this also? |
A39566 | how farre is he from it as now he stands, whilst he saies plainly he will have no baptism? |
A39566 | how greatly doth your manner of baptism differ from it? |
A39566 | how hear without a preacher? |
A39566 | how is it possible that it should not signifie washing so long as it signifies dipping, dipping being no other then a kind of washing? |
A39566 | how miserably do you your selves misse of hitting right with it here too? |
A39566 | how pretily have you put these terms[ practised by the Church of God] into the very question, and that too as it stands stated beeween us? |
A39566 | how so? |
A39566 | how the bells began to play their parts against our preaching, when you had done, by the appointment of who knows not whom? |
A39566 | how then came it to pass that the most of the Iews and their children sucessively in all generations had not faith when they came to years? |
A39566 | how then dare you aver so peremptorily, so universally that every administration that extendeth to all nations, belongeth to infants as well as men? |
A39566 | how those men and women whom I had baptized did make it appear that they had faith, and the holy spirit? |
A39566 | how will not a poor, marred, mocked, misreputed Saviour, and gospel in any wise down with them? |
A39566 | how will you ever be able to make that good? |
A39566 | i. e. the supper as well as baptism? |
A39566 | i. e. to ungodly mens children as well as to those of godly parents? |
A39566 | if no exemption from a hotter service, why from a colder for the lifes sake? |
A39566 | if not where is then the analogie? |
A39566 | if so, how is it that when they are grown, the children of unbelievers have holiness very often, when as oft the other prove wicked, and have not? |
A39566 | if so, why not to repentance, and self denial also? |
A39566 | if unholy, how do they prophane it? |
A39566 | if unholy, in so saying oh how do you prophane it? |
A39566 | if you must keep so strictly to one and the same subject in circumcision, and baptism, why do you alter the subject your selves? |
A39566 | if you will needs Iudaize at all, why not in all as well as the Pope? |
A39566 | if you will needs utter falsehood in matter of Doctrine? |
A39566 | in as much as there s that required in order to baptisme which infants can no more do, then they can do what''s required to the supper? |
A39566 | in the womb? |
A39566 | in vvhich of all these places dare they allovv us the prime signification of the vvord? |
A39566 | infallibly? |
A39566 | is Christ thus divided? |
A39566 | is he not as holy as the child is, and so as capable of being baptized, and in covenant thereby? |
A39566 | is it not very fit therefore that they should still be used, the Church being yet under age? |
A39566 | is meant of more layings on of hands, when it expresly speaks but of one? |
A39566 | is not innocency in the whole state of infants, even in unbelievers infants as much to the full as in the other? |
A39566 | is not the story of Naamans washing himself seven times in Iordan full enough to our use, because there is no mention of his putting off and on? |
A39566 | is not this the Carpenter?) |
A39566 | is plain, and now why tarriest thou? |
A39566 | is their any worldly imployment to which the Pastors office must give way so to as to cease for its sake, when it comes in place? |
A39566 | is there any more Specimen or shew of holiness in them then in these? |
A39566 | is there any promise of God, whereby he stands ingaged to infuse holiness into these infants in infancy, when he will not infuse it into the other? |
A39566 | is there any such manglements as these to be found there? |
A39566 | little ones literally taken in the sixth? |
A39566 | meaning trow, that therfore it doth not go before it? |
A39566 | men of strife and contention to the whole earth? |
A39566 | must not all people search it? |
A39566 | no: who doub ● s of that? |
A39566 | not one scruple? |
A39566 | now therefore Quid rides? |
A39566 | on baptized believers be ever the more excluded, or the more incuded rather in all likelyhood among the rest? |
A39566 | or I would I knew what you mean by constitution? |
A39566 | or any other part*? |
A39566 | or are all infants of unbelievers reprobate, so that you may accordingly denominate them for such by whole sale as you do? |
A39566 | or believing infants? |
A39566 | or but probably? |
A39566 | or have you not rather taken it for granted from me whether I will, or no? |
A39566 | or if after birth, on what day on the 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, or 8th? |
A39566 | or if there were no more then this half an hours reading, how is it you give so large an Account of it here? |
A39566 | or if they can not, can not your Churches see to them a little what they lack? |
A39566 | or in baptism ask, how the baptizer must handle the person baptized, and where he must take hold on him, when he dips him? |
A39566 | or in token of his resurrection to a new life? |
A39566 | or is aspersion an action as answerable to a burial and resurrection, and painting it out as lively as submersion and emersion do? |
A39566 | or may the spirit blow no where, but where thou listest? |
A39566 | or must a man bring you another, and that a better kind of faith to the one, than he had need care for toward the other? |
A39566 | or must they search and find no more truth in it then thou findest? |
A39566 | or not? |
A39566 | or rather by who knows not whom? |
A39566 | or shall the doctrine of Rome be ever the truer because of Antiquitie only? |
A39566 | or that of certainty? |
A39566 | or the Major part of it? |
A39566 | or those thousands Peter promised the holy spirit to, were they all reprobates, because they yet had it not, when he spake to them? |
A39566 | or to prove believers infants to have it exclusively of the infants of unbelievers? |
A39566 | or wast thou set to keep people out from it under lock and key? |
A39566 | or what is it you would have? |
A39566 | or whether Christ hath not more water baptismes then one? |
A39566 | or whether dipping in Rivers be so necessary to baptism, that none are accounted baptized, but those that are dipped after such a manner? |
A39566 | qualis? |
A39566 | quando? |
A39566 | quibus auxiliis? |
A39566 | quid? |
A39566 | return this answer, if thou believest with all thy heart thou mayest? |
A39566 | saiest where is the promise of his coming? |
A39566 | secondly, whether they ever had it if you ask whether they ever had any? |
A39566 | shall the Parliament and their Committees never have their liberty to attend onely, and perfectly the true liberties of the subject? |
A39566 | shall we impute that fault to his being baptized? |
A39566 | shall we think that Peter taught the principles of the doctrine of Christ, all which he was to lay as one foundation among them, by the halves? |
A39566 | shall we think that all Christs ministers descend lineally from the loines of Antichrist? |
A39566 | shall we think that so many learned Orthodox divines would practise it if it were not the truth? |
A39566 | shall we( saith he, for so his sense is) continue in sin, i. e. we that are dead to it, and have been all baptized into Christ in token of it? |
A39566 | sith the cause of all such sacramental locution is because the sacraments are( as Austin saies) pictures of the things signified in them? |
A39566 | so that by the same Reason that we deny one of these to be in them, it may be therefore denied that they have the other? |
A39566 | some people believe therefore all must be baptized, Secondly, had the Jews children faith? |
A39566 | tells us that some branches only were broken off, therfore not infants, It is true all were not broken off, and why? |
A39566 | that have bought it for money? |
A39566 | that have have gotten it by brawling in the law? |
A39566 | that is strange: what parts of Christendome have you lived, or do you live in? |
A39566 | that is worse then all the rest: but I wonder what is if that be not the prime? |
A39566 | that it is a miracle to be dipped and not destroyed, then what a strange man is he to say so? |
A39566 | that of charity? |
A39566 | that there is now no iniquity at all? |
A39566 | that they were all the children of God by faith in Christ: and how doth he prove it that they were so? |
A39566 | that words are oft used out of their prime significations?) |
A39566 | the Apostles themselves? |
A39566 | the Swine ran into the sea, were they not then in it? |
A39566 | the duty and ordinance of baptism? |
A39566 | the first Gospel ministry bap ● ized, were in immediately before they baptized them? |
A39566 | the visible church of Christ or the visible kingdome of the devil believers infants are visibly in before baptism? |
A39566 | the way of faith? |
A39566 | then Sirs why do you not keep close to your command, and by Analogy baptize precisely on the eighth day, but on any other as you see good? |
A39566 | then pray how doth the promise of the Gospel appear to belong one jot more to believers children, then to unbelievers? |
A39566 | therefore is it not rather think you a Civil and Matrimonial then an Ecclesiastical,& faederall sanctity? |
A39566 | therefore why should we not sorrow as those without hope? |
A39566 | they are the children of believers? |
A39566 | they went down both of them unto the water, both Philip and the Eunuch? |
A39566 | till they visibly appear to have them, yet under the Law they were in covenant, and inchurched for all that and why? |
A39566 | to come out of Babilon, and be separate? |
A39566 | to testifie to the world that they had faith? |
A39566 | to the Jaylor asking Sirs what must I do to be saved? |
A39566 | to the parents upon their own faith, to the children upon the parents faith? |
A39566 | to what purpose doth he with such prolixity proceed to prove, what no sober minded man of either party doth deny? |
A39566 | ubi? |
A39566 | unto what then were you baptized( saies he) if at least you have not so much as heard of it? |
A39566 | was he sprinkled into Iordan? |
A39566 | was it set to Ishmael as Gods witness that Ishmael had faith? |
A39566 | watchman what of the night? |
A39566 | we have Abraham to our father? |
A39566 | were there ever such contradictions as these committed to paper before? |
A39566 | were they not the seed of Abraham still, that stood without faith in the old visible Church to the very end of it? |
A39566 | what Commission have any to baptize in that manner? |
A39566 | what a logical lump of artificial non- sense? |
A39566 | what a pittious plaister is here applied to men wounded in conscience, and smarting under the direfull apprehensions of Gods wrath? |
A39566 | what a poor shift is this? |
A39566 | what a strange extraordinary expression is that? |

A39566 | why even this, if the whole kingdom be the Lords, then infants must unavoidably be members of Christs Church, and if we ask how comes this about? |
A39566 | why more ad negationem baptismi? |
A39566 | why taught in order to the receiving it? |
A39566 | why then do you say sometimes again, that from a holiness which is in both they are co- contributers of holiness to the Infant? |
A39566 | why then not exempted from that for the sake of their incapacity, as well as from other things? |
A39566 | why then( if that be the ground you will needs go upon) must not these be baptized as well as the other? |
A39566 | why they circumcised infants, and why you baptize them? |
A39566 | will it follow that we must follow their fashion in that particular? |
A39566 | will it not appear much more plainly then, that infants are not capable to be made disciples? |
A39566 | will it therefore follow that it is to be omitted, and not made use of at all? |
A39566 | will they fortify themselves against our Orthodox Divines? |
A39566 | will they make an end in a day to reform, which is many a years work for a learned Synod? |

A39566 | yea who so blind as those that seem to themselves to be the onely Seers both for themselves and others? |
A39566 | yea, when he asks who hath required this at your hands? |
A39566 | yes no doubt, why then were they not broken off before? |
A39566 | yet is it reckoned by you exclusive of infants, and why not Philips also? |
A39566 | you know your people are not all in the faith, why else do you preach to them as prophane to the end you may convert them thereunto? |
A39566 | your trivial new way, or rather no way of baptism? |
A39566 | your very selves acknowledge you can not: if not, why more I wonder ad negationem spiritus? |

A39573 | A ● … deus potius non suisse? |
A39573 | Again you had much need( had you not think you?) |
A39573 | Again, I would ask what warrand they have for dipping, or baptizing garments more then the Papists have for baptizing bells? |
A39573 | Again, who holds or practises such a thing as naked dipping of women and maids? |
A39573 | And Thirdly be taken up again as A. R. and you seem to reason? |
A39573 | And as Peter in his first preaching the praeceptory part of Christs Gospel to the Jews, when they enquired what they should do? |
A39573 | And how no answer, but no answer, Dr. Chamberlain had from Dr. Gouge to this question, Whether the sprinkling of Infants were of God or man? |
A39573 | And lastly whereas Mr. Baxter queries so oft when Mr. Tombs would have such baptized, the set time of whose conversion? |
A39573 | And lastly, whereas he challenges us to shew where ever God pronounced any blessed, and yet took them for none of his visible Church? |
A39573 | And now because you ask how we know they have faith whom we baptize? |
A39573 | And now why tarriest thou? |
A39573 | And what mean you by your Pastors leaving you to take up some other call or imployment? |
A39573 | And what then? |
A39573 | And whereas he saies of infants may they not be called Gods servants from the meer interest of dominion that God hath to them? |
A39573 | Are soules all equal in their Creation, and are souls which are all equal the subject of faith? |
A39573 | Are these your Examples of baptizing otherwaies then by dipping? |
A39573 | Are you not ashamed of such a blind businesse as this? |
A39573 | Buried? |
A39573 | But Sirs is it so in earnest in your opinion, that no baptism no hope of salvation? |
A39573 | But Sirs, will this hold a triall think you by the word? |
A39573 | But by what proofs do they confirm they have the true Church? |
A39573 | But if you stand so much on the signification of the word, why do you not drown persons when you baptize them? |
A39573 | But is it so Sirs? |
A39573 | But is it so that 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 signifies in and is so rendred in that place, and many more? |
A39573 | But quorsum haec? |
A39573 | But should you help the ungodly, and love them that hate the Lord? |
A39573 | But then what simple stuff were this? |
A39573 | But what if this be but a meer Chimaera of those mens coining, how much lesse are we then excused in our non- submission? |
A39573 | But what of this? |
A39573 | But where was your Church then all this while till these latter times? |
A39573 | Can any man forbid water why these should not be baptized, which have received the holy spirit as well as we? |
A39573 | Can you be baptized in a better manner think you then that wherein Iohn baptized Christ, and Philip the Eunuch? |
A39573 | Coventry, Cheapside, Charing,& others? |
A39573 | Daniel was thrown into and taken up out of the Lyons den, does not that shew plainly enough that he was in it? |
A39573 | Did I give, and grant so much? |
A39573 | Did not Philip baptize the Samaritans and the Eunuch? |
A39573 | Do not the infants of unbelievers very often prove believers, and so elect, and precious? |
A39573 | Do you know any thing against the particular infant of an heathen? |
A39573 | Doth not Philip to one that askt him this question, why may I not be baptized? |
A39573 | Easter, Christmas, Whitsunday,& c. didst not thou O Presbyter? |
A39573 | Fifthly, any where viz: at home or abroad, in Inns or other places, as occasion is, but onely or for the most part in your great stone houses? |
A39573 | Fiftly, if as to the time of those two services, the question be askt Quando? |
A39573 | First do you conclude that all the children of believing parents have it now? |
A39573 | First which way come your natural seed, you being but Gentiles in the flesh, to be the seed of Abraham? |
A39573 | First, Risum teneat is amici? |
A39573 | First, Si aliquid quare non quicquid? |
A39573 | First, if we ask( as de subjecto) this question quis? |
A39573 | First, is it so that the command to circumcise infants is vertually a command to us to baptize them? |
A39573 | For First, is there no Medium between being a reprobate, and a present having the holy spirit? |
A39573 | Fourthly, if, as to the quality, special properties, uses, ends and offices of these two dispensations, the question be asked in quale quid? |
A39573 | Go teach all Nations baptizing them, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I command you, and now why 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A39573 | God forbid: know ye not that every one that''s baptized into Christ, is baptized into his death? |
A39573 | Good Lord how is the practise of the truth made a reproach unto thy people, and a derision dayly? |
A39573 | Good Sirs, what mean you by this? |
A39573 | He answers, the commission being for all Nations disciples were made in all Countreys; how soone saith he came the word to this Nation? |
A39573 | Here reason demands of you why after bap ● … ism you admit not infants to the supper? |
A39573 | Holland, Germany,& c. and bring the word unto us, that we may hear it and do it? |
A39573 | How can a man escape choaking Sirs, if he be put and kept under the water? |
A39573 | How do those men and women that are baptized at years make it appear to those that baptize them, that they have faith and the holy spirit? |
A39573 | How often shall I adjure you the next time you write to write no more then truth at least in matter of fact? |
A39573 | How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? |
A39573 | How you gather from these places a dipping of the whole man over head and under water? |
A39573 | How? |
A39573 | I am sure it was a custome before we were born; how shall our children come to have names, if they be not Christned? |
A39573 | I answer how many and in how short a time does the man mean? |
A39573 | I answer, who doubts of that? |
A39573 | I beseech you Sirs, upon what grounds? |
A39573 | I demand therefore yet once again, what seed of Abraham your infants are, in that thereupon you undertake( as so) to baptize them? |
A39573 | I pray Sir ● …, what''s b ● … me of the odd five and a half? |
A39573 | I reply thus, were not Abraham, Isaac and Iacob their fleshly fathers? |
A39573 | I say what a bald way of arguing is this? |
A39573 | I wonder who baptized Iohn the Baptist, that was the greatest administrator that ever was? |
A39573 | I wonder who those are? |
A39573 | I would know with these new dippers saith Mr. Cook, whether the parties to be doused and dipped may be baptized in a garment, or no? |
A39573 | I''le saie it again that you may consider it, for sure you did not consider what you said when you said it, what children of day old? |
A39573 | Iesus Christ is in you except ye be Reprobates? |
A39573 | If any should ask this question, what hinders why I may not eat the supper? |
A39573 | If it be further askt, how faith is bread in them? |
A39573 | If it be inquired how faith can be said to be in them without their consent? |
A39573 | If it was so? |
A39573 | If under the Law, why not under the Gospel? |
A39573 | If you will have any thing holy with that Ceremonial holiness now, why not every thing that then was so? |
A39573 | Impertinency? |
A39573 | Is it not the work of the spirit to infuse faith? |
A39573 | Is it so Sirs, that the spirit is not tyed to work by means in little children, in the same cases, wherein he works by means in men, and women? |
A39573 | Is not faith a work as well as repentance, and the rest? |
A39573 | Is that Scripture think you intended to infants? |
A39573 | It makes them count the blood of the Covenant an unholy thing, for if it be holy, what need they repeat it? |
A39573 | It s own name? |
A39573 | Just so Sirs, and not a jot otherwise? |
A39573 | Let them gain what they can, whom can they gain? |
A39573 | Let us search, and try, and turn, was there ever any confession of sin without it? |
A39573 | Moreover if the Apostles did say on hands at years, though Christ in infancy, what if Christ had baptized those infants in infancy also? |
A39573 | Mothers, as well as by the hands of the Priests onely? |
A39573 | Must they not go down to the water( saith he) if they would use it? |
A39573 | No Sirs? |
A39573 | No Sirs? |
A39573 | No certainly, And why not? |
A39573 | No? |
A39573 | No? |
A39573 | Nothing more ordinary then to have words out of their prime signification? |
A39573 | Now if it be the sincerity that is looked after, who knoweth what day or year the child began tobe sincere in his profession? |
A39573 | O ye house of Levi is the spirit of the Lord thus streitned? |
A39573 | Quis? |
A39573 | Reason say you? |
A39573 | Rivers, Iordan, Enon, many waters, and why? |
A39573 | Secondly all male servants upon the masters single faith, as well as male cchildren on the fathers? |
A39573 | Secondly be kept under water to signifie his burial? |
A39573 | Secondly kept under water to signify his burial? |
A39573 | Secondly why do you, or how can you sign them as heirs of the Gospel promise so simply upon that account only? |
A39573 | Secondly( Risum teneatis amici?) |
A39573 | Secondly, Si aliqualitèr, quarè non aequalitèr? |
A39573 | Secondly, are you sure they were infants of believers of whom Christ saies, whoever offends one of these little ones that believe in me? |
A39573 | Secondly, do you know so precisely which infants are Elect, and which Reprobate, as to take upon you to distinguish them by baptism? |
A39573 | Secondly, how doth it appear at all that godly and believing parents children then had faith more usually then children of ungodly parents? |
A39573 | Secondly, how far forth do they make it appear to you? |
A39573 | Secondly, if( as to the nature, matter and essential form or being of the Rites themselves) we ask the question quid? |
A39573 | Secondly, let me ask you, is Gods witness, Gods testimony true, or is it false? |
A39573 | Secondly, what are these littles to the lump? |
A39573 | Secondly, when had they it begotten in them? |
A39573 | Secondly, whereas t is askt what persons are to say or do,( at the administration of laying hands) that they may be found faithful in that point? |
A39573 | Seventhly, if( as to the account and warrant) it be demanded Cur? |
A39573 | Si aliquando quare non nunc? |
A39573 | Sirs where is the blessedness you speak of? |
A39573 | Sirs, let me ask you two questions, first are you sure these are infants indeed? |
A39573 | Sirs, what children of the Jews had faith in their infancy witnessed by Circumcision, were they the children of the believing or unbelieving Jews? |
A39573 | Sirs, what pretty intricate blind bo- beep Divinity is this of yours? |
A39573 | Sixthly, if, as to the administrator, it be ask quibus auxiliis? |
A39573 | Some who are those I trow? |
A39573 | That the Covenant of grace is for substance not two but in all ages one and the same within it self who denies? |
A39573 | There may he washings though, and dippings too, but what needs such a totall dipping as you use? |
A39573 | Therefore Sirs, how hath Satan bewitched you that you can not believe and obey the truth? |
A39573 | They lose it again when they come to more years, else why are they taught the element of faith? |
A39573 | Thirdly if, as to the place where, we ask the question ubi? |
A39573 | Thirdly, is it any more evident to you that all believers infants are taught of God, then t is that unbelievers infants are taught by him? |
A39573 | Thirdly, on the eighth day onely, and neither sooner nor later, nor one day before it nor behind it? |
A39573 | Thirdly, was Circumcision Gods witness, yea Gods seal to assure men of thus much, that those children to whom it was set had faith? |
A39573 | Thirdly, what judgement do you passe upon believers infants to be the subjects of baptism, rather then other infants? |
A39573 | This is aliud a nogate; a plain absurd aberration from the question, which is not whether it be a sin ordinarily to dip naked or no? |
A39573 | To those without? |
A39573 | To which I reply, saith he, where is your Scripture for that? |
A39573 | Totally drowned? |
A39573 | Unless they be baptized in their infancy? |
A39573 | Was not that of Paul spoken of men onely at years? |
A39573 | Well then they were broken off: but why? |
A39573 | Well what if it was so in the primitive times, that total dipping was the custome, must it therefore needs be so now? |
A39573 | What Infants of a day old? |
A39573 | What Sirs is the Gospel, the plain simple gospel, such a maeander as this? |
A39573 | What a strange conceit is this? |
A39573 | What again? |
A39573 | What again? |
A39573 | What again? |
A39573 | What an egregious untruth is there? |
A39573 | What force therefore is in this Argument to conclude against the truth of our way? |
A39573 | What frivolous quibling is all this? |
A39573 | What is that Analogy and Agreement which is between the sign and the thing signifyed in baptism? |
A39573 | What is the result of this discourse, to forbid all disputation with HHHim? |
A39573 | What is this to the present question and position concerning no more inclinablenesse to holy actions in children of Christians, then of insidels? |
A39573 | What pretty Checker work is there in your judgements about one and the same thing? |
A39573 | What prety Gim- cracks are here? |
A39573 | What quarrels and jarres between the Fryers of several orders? |
A39573 | What saith he if we could not prove that the English Church was before Luther, Must it needs follow that the doctrine we hold is untrue? |
A39573 | What still Sirs? |
A39573 | What then? |
A39573 | Where in the Cherub that covereth? |
A39573 | Where should this bath be prepared? |
A39573 | Where was your Church before Luther? |
A39573 | Whether infants were the true subject? |
A39573 | Whether it be just to load them that still stick to the truth, with the blame of all their blasphemies that go off from it? |
A39573 | Whether sprinkling were the true manner of baptizing? |
A39573 | Whether their profession, since it is possible they may lie, can make it appear infallibly? |
A39573 | Which of all these three are to be found in your aspersion? |
A39573 | Who sees not the weaknesse, the wretchednesse of this consequence? |
A39573 | Why then should not children under the Gospel receive baptism, which the Adversaries confess to be the Seal of the Gospel- Covenant? |
A39573 | Yea Sirs? |
A39573 | Yea Sirs? |
A39573 | Yea say you so? |
A39573 | Yea surely Sirs, why not? |
A39573 | above all men, who so strenuously contends that by the word Kingdoms of this world is meant not in part only, but the whole kingdom? |
A39573 | all the dying infants of unbelievers? |
A39573 | all your skill in Physiogmony can never find it: or can you argue ad negationem habitus, to no holiness in an infidels infant more then in anothers? |
A39573 | and I said what shall I do Lord? |
A39573 | and also to what purpose did she perform it? |
A39573 | and are not soules which are all equall in their creation the subject of it? |
A39573 | and as ordinarily believers infants( when they come to years I mean) prove reprobates? |
A39573 | and doth not that imply that else he might not? |
A39573 | and doth not this evince as much for women? |
A39573 | and how can they be sent to preach to infants that understand not what is said? |
A39573 | and how can they hear without a preacher? |
A39573 | and how can they preach except they be sent? |
A39573 | and how hear without a Preacher? |
A39573 | and how much more the losse of Christ himself? |
A39573 | and how much more then ours? |
A39573 | and if no analogie why are we said sacramentally in baptism to be buried, and raised? |
A39573 | and if not, why not be satisfied that it was preacht by some at least of Christs Apostles to all baptized believers? |
A39573 | and if so, then must not this unbelieving parent being a Roo ● …, have the same kind of holiness the child hath? |
A39573 | and if so, why he blames us more then himself, that, do what we can, so many run to ruin? |
A39573 | and is it the consequent that the children of believing parents have it now? |
A39573 | and is not swilling under water a more effectuall way of washing and clensing then sprinkling? |
A39573 | and is that seal of his firm to, i. e, so sure that it can not fail? |
A39573 | and so upwards till we come thither, are you able if we ask you who sprinkled you? |
A39573 | and such judgement is as due to one of these as to the other? |
A39573 | and such like how little do these look each like the other? |
A39573 | and that a similitude of Christs death, burial and rising again, to be represented by dipping in water, is signified here? |
A39573 | and though remote ones, yet were they not their true fathers after the flesh still as much as ever? |
A39573 | and to the company at Cornelius''s house, and Ananias in his to Paul, when he quaeried what he should do? |
A39573 | and what need at all that the Committees be so cumbered with the care of such affairs? |
A39573 | and whether because they all desired to go to heaven, therefore they were at heaven? |
A39573 | and who hath brought up these? |
A39573 | and who him? |
A39573 | and who him? |
A39573 | and who him? |
A39573 | and who him? |
A39573 | and who him? |
A39573 | and who him? |
A39573 | and who him? |
A39573 | and who ordained those that ordained you? |
A39573 | and who them? |
A39573 | and who them? |
A39573 | and who them? |
A39573 | and why not male servants though unbelieving Moores, Turks or Pagans if of believing masters? |
A39573 | and why should not this administration of the covenant in outward ordinances be after the manner of that of old? |
A39573 | and why then? |
A39573 | and yet do these include and comprize infants as much as men at years? |
A39573 | and you Presbyterians where was your Church before Calvin? |
A39573 | are infants of a day old capable of Baptism, that can not so much as be instructed in principles much less be begotten to the true Religion? |
A39573 | are not repentance from dead works, and belief towards God with all the heart, and confession of sins, and calling on God such kind of matters? |
A39573 | are not these priviledges belonging to men, why then( if yours and Mr Marshalls assertion be true) not to infants as well as men? |
A39573 | are the seed of true believers true converts mostly by birth? |
A39573 | are these your doings? |
A39573 | are they not among the number of souls capable to eat, every one pro suo modulo, according to the measure of his eating and digestion? |
A39573 | are they not mercies, administrations, merciful administrations of God, extended to all nations? |
A39573 | are they shut out of the kingdom of heaven? |
A39573 | are we more tied to follow his example in that, then in the dispensation of laying on of hands? |
A39573 | are we wiser then our forefathers? |
A39573 | are you able to assign who began our way of baptism first of all in the world, unlesse you begin as high as Iohn the baptist? |
A39573 | are you not then condemned out of your own mouths to perpetual abhorring? |
A39573 | are your Pastors also such Idol shepheards, as it may be supposed now and then will leave their flocks for any other imployment? |
A39573 | baptism for the Hot Countryes; and Rantism for the Cold? |
A39573 | baptism, may stand in some proportion to its signatum, as well as the other i. e. circumcision? |
A39573 | because he had told them above that there should come one, that should delude many with lyes? |
A39573 | because the kingdomes of this world are, or else shall be the kindomes of God and Christ? |
A39573 | behold I was left alone, these where have they been? |
A39573 | besides what more to believers than unbelievers infants? |
A39573 | both branded for reprobates? |
A39573 | both which men direct their different doctrines to Mr. Tombes in order to his direction: but how shall that man be resolved? |
A39573 | but if they had none in infancy, then how can you deny but that they had none? |
A39573 | but may they thereupon be called disciples, and be baptized? |
A39573 | but no marvel if the Cat winckt, when both her eyes were out? |
A39573 | but what of that? |
A39573 | but what then? |
A39573 | but whether Rome be that universal Church or no that can not erre? |
A39573 | but whether we ordinarily use that kind of dipping? |
A39573 | by believing: nay the spiritual seed: quid ni? |
A39573 | by fleshly descent? |
A39573 | by whose hands these ordinances are to be administred? |
A39573 | can some scores of well meaning Priests give the denomination of an holy PPriesthood, godly Ministry to those legions of them that lie in wickednesse? |
A39573 | could that water that toucht his legs while he waded, be more mischievous to him, then the water that washed the blood of his stripes? |
A39573 | creed that God hath promised to be merciful to Godly mens seed in general, in contradistinction to the seed of the wicked? |
A39573 | cur? |
A39573 | denies it, with whom how often is it exprest that baptism is the first visible entrance into it? |
A39573 | did he build them upon one part of the foundation, and not on the other part? |
A39573 | did he constitute them partly upon it, and partly beside it? |
A39573 | did he no more then sprinkle, or pour a few drops of water on him? |
A39573 | did not some of you Masters, Provosts, Fellowes of Colledges and such like? |
A39573 | did not ye O Presbyterians? |
A39573 | did you press them to death i th''Press, or lose them i th''Ashes, whetein you had a design to have smothered it all? |
A39573 | do we not in common loquution say the same, while we say sprinkled in a font, or in a Bason? |
A39573 | do you believe in God the Father, and Christ& c. and will you be baptized in this faith? |
A39573 | dost thou forsake tho divel? |
A39573 | doth it prove baptism to be the cause of that grosness that often followes, when a person is baptized? |
A39573 | doth our denying baptism to an infant before he dies send him to hell sooner then your delaying it till he be dead? |
A39573 | doth that phrase( I say) they which be of faith signifie believers infants? |
A39573 | drowning, racking, fleaing, stabbing, tearing with hot pincers, and( to use his own phrase) the severest punishments they could devise? |
A39573 | first I wonder how they came by it, sith the word saies faith comes by hearing, and how can there be believing on him of whom they have not heard? |
A39573 | for 42. months, or a 1260 years, as theirs was for 70 years? |
A39573 | for either he was baptized surely, or else he was not, if he was ever baptized at all, who baptized him? |
A39573 | for how does he speak, and that out of these Scriptures we are upon, that we ought thus to be baptized? |
A39573 | for none denies but that it hath, but whether the Pope be at all that head? |
A39573 | for the living to the dead? |
A39573 | for what else can they pretend? |
A39573 | for when he queries who can? |
A39573 | from the Gospel to a law long since ended? |
A39573 | from the living to the dead? |
A39573 | from the substance to the shadow? |
A39573 | from the truth to the type? |
A39573 | have any of the Rulers of the Pharisees believed on him? |
A39573 | have not you the CCClergy? |
A39573 | he to infants, and they onely to persons past infancy? |
A39573 | how can Turks and Pagans infants be saved? |
A39573 | how can they be saved if they die unchristned? |
A39573 | how crookedly close do you keep to your own coppy? |
A39573 | how different are they? |
A39573 | how else could they have known it? |
A39573 | how far do they differ? |
A39573 | how far do you fall short of the Jewes in this also? |
A39573 | how farre is he from it as now he stands, whilst he saies plainly he will have no baptism? |
A39573 | how greatly doth your manner of baptism differ from it? |
A39573 | how hear without a preacher? |
A39573 | how is it possible that it should not signifie washing so long as it signifies dipping, dipping being no other then a kind of washing? |
A39573 | how miserably do you your selves misse of hitting right with it here too? |
A39573 | how pretily have you put these terms[ practised by the Church of God] into the very question, and that too as it stands stated beeween us? |
A39573 | how rhe bells began to play their parts against our preaching, when you had done, by the appointment of who knows not whom? |
A39573 | how so? |
A39573 | how then came it to pass that the most of the Iews and their children sucessively in all generations had not faith when they came to years? |
A39573 | how then dare you aver so peremptorily, so universally that every administration that extendeth to all nations, belongeth to infants as well as men? |
A39573 | how those men and women whom I had baptized did make it appear that they had faith, and the holy spirit? |
A39573 | how will not a poor, marred, mocked, misreputed Saviour, and gospel in any wise down with them? |
A39573 | how will you ever be able to make that good? |
A39573 | i. e. the supper as well as baptism? |
A39573 | i. e. to ungodly mens children as well as to those of godly parents? |
A39573 | if no exemption from a hotter service, why from a colder for the lifes sake? |
A39573 | if not where is then the analogie? |
A39573 | if so, how is it that when they are grown, the children of unbelievers have holiness very often, when as oft the other prove wicked, and have not? |
A39573 | if so, why not to repentance, and self denial also? |
A39573 | if unholy, how do they prophane it? |
A39573 | if unholy, in so saying oh how do you prophane it? |
A39573 | if you will needs Iudaize at all, why not in all as well as the Pope? |
A39573 | if you will needs utter falsehood in matter of Doctrine? |
A39573 | in as much as there s that required in order to baptisme which infants can no more do, then they can do what''s required to the supper? |
A39573 | in the womb? |
A39573 | infallibly? |
A39573 | is Christ thus divided? |
A39573 | is he not as holy as the child is, and so as capable of being baptized, and in covenant thereby? |
A39573 | is it not very fit therefore that they should still be used, the Church being yet under age? |
A39573 | is not innocency in the whole state of infants, even in unbelievers infants as much to the full as in the other? |
A39573 | is not the story of Naamans washing himself seven times in Iordan full enough to our use, because there is no mention of his putting off and on? |
A39573 | is their any worldly imployment to which the Pastors office must give way so to as to cease for its sake, when it comes in place? |
A39573 | is there any more Specimen or shew of holiness in them then in these? |
A39573 | is there any promise of God, whereby he stands ingaged to infuse holiness into these infants in infancy, when he will not infuse it into the other? |
A39573 | is there any such manglements as these to be found there? |
A39573 | little ones literally taken in the sixth? |
A39573 | meani ● … g trow, that therfore it doth not go before it? |
A39573 | men of strife and contention to the whole earth? |
A39573 | must not all people search it? |
A39573 | no: who doub ● … s of that? |
A39573 | not one scruple? |
A39573 | now therefore Quid rides? |
A39573 | or I would I knew what you mean by constitution? |
A39573 | or any other part*? |
A39573 | or are all infants of unbelievers reprobate, so that you may accordingly denominate them for such by whole sale as you do? |
A39573 | or believing infants? |
A39573 | or but probably? |
A39573 | or have you not rather taken it for granted from me whether I will, or no? |
A39573 | or if after birth, on what day on the 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, or 8th? |
A39573 | or if there were no more then this half an hours reading, how is it you give so large an Account of it here? |
A39573 | or if they can not, can not your Churches see to them a little what they lack? |
A39573 | or in baptism ask, how the baptizer must handle the person baptized, and where he must take hold on him, when he dips him? |
A39573 | or in token of his resurrection to a new life? |
A39573 | or is aspersion an action as answerable to a burial and resurrection, and painting it out as lively as submersion and emersion do? |
A39573 | or may the spirit blow no where, but where thou listest? |
A39573 | or must a man bring you another, and that a better kind of faith to the one, than he had need care for toward the other? |
A39573 | or must they search and find no more truth in it then thou findest? |
A39573 | or not? |
A39573 | or rather by who knows not whom? |
A39573 | or shall the doctrine of Rome be ever the truer because of Antiquitie only? |
A39573 | or that of certainty? |
A39573 | or the Major part of it? |
A39573 | or those thousands Peter promised the holy spirit to, were they all reprobates, because they yet had it not, when he spake to them? |
A39573 | or to prove believe ● … s infants to have it exclusively of the infants of unbelievers? |
A39573 | or wast thou set to keep people out from it under lock and key? |
A39573 | or what is it you would have? |
A39573 | or whether Christ hath not more water baptismes then one? |
A39573 | or whether dipping in Rivers be so necessary to baptism, that none are accounted baptized, but those that are dipped after such a manner? |
A39573 | qualis? |
A39573 | quando? |
A39573 | quibus auxiliis? |
A39573 | quid? |
A39573 | return this answer, if thou believest with all thy heart thou mayest? |
A39573 | secondly, whether they ever had it if you ask whether they ever had any? |
A39573 | shall the Parliament and their Committees never have their liberty to attend onely, and perfectly the true liberties of the subject? |
A39573 | shall we impute that fault to his being baptized? |
A39573 | shall we think that Peter taught the principles of the doctrine of Christ, all which he was to lay as one foundation among them, by the halves? |
A39573 | shall we think that all Christs ministers descend lineally from the loines of Antichrist? |
A39573 | shall we think that so many learned Orthodox divines would practise it if it were not the truth? |
A39573 | shall we( saith he, for so his sense is) continue in sin, i. e. we that are dead to it, and have been all baptized into Christ in token of it? |
A39573 | sith the cause of all such sacramental locution is because the sacraments are( as Austin saies) pictures of the things signified in them? |
A39573 | so that by the same Reason that we deny one of these to be in them, it may be therefore denied that they have the other? |
A39573 | some people believe therefore all must be baptized, Secondly, had the Jews children faith? |
A39573 | tells us that some branches only were broken off, therfore not infants, It is true all were not broken off, and why? |
A39573 | that have bought it for money? |
A39573 | that have have gotten it by brawling in the law? |
A39573 | that is strange: what parts of Christendome have you lived, or do you live in? |
A39573 | that is worse then all the rest: but I wonder what is if that be not the prime? |
A39573 | that it is a miracle to be dipped and not destroyed, then what a strange man is he to say so? |
A39573 | that of charity? |
A39573 | that there is now no iniquity at all? |
A39573 | that they were all the children of God by faith in Christ: and how doth he prove it that they were so? |
A39573 | that words are oft used out of their prime significations?) |
A39573 | the Apostles themselves? |
A39573 | the Swine ran into the sea, were they not then in it? |
A39573 | the duty and ordinance of baptism? |
A39573 | the visible church of Christ or the visible kingdome of the devil believers infants are visibly in before baptism? |
A39573 | the way of faith? |
A39573 | then Sirs why do you not keep close to your command, and by Analogy baptize precisely on the eighth day, but on any other as you see good? |
A39573 | then pray how doth the promise of the Gospel appear to belong one jo ● … more to believers children, then to unbelievers? |
A39573 | therefore is it not rather think you a Civil and Matrimonial then an Ecclesiastical,& faederall sanctity? |
A39573 | therefore why should we not sorrow as those without hope? |
A39573 | they are the children of believers? |
A39573 | they went down both of them unto the water, both Philip and the Eunuch? |
A39573 | till they visibly appear to have them, yet under the Law they were in covenant, and inchurched for all that and why? |
A39573 | to come out of Babilon, and be separate? |
A39573 | to testifie to the world that they had faith? |
A39573 | to the parents upon their own faith, to the children upon the parents faith? |
A39573 | to what purpose doth he with such prolixity proceed to prove, what no sober minded man of either party doth deny? |
A39573 | ubi? |
