SECT. 1.

Objection▪ THough you doe not allow of Baptizing of Infants, yet surely you doe not demand it againe of them who are already baptized?

Ans. Yes certainly but we ought, else where∣fore did the Apostle demand a ••••nfesson of Faith,* 1.1 and Repentance, of the men of the Jewes, Acts 2. 38. (who were before of the Seed of Abraham, and already Circumcised, and so consequently of the externall Church) be∣fore they would admit them to the Sacrament of Baptisme. And seeing that the Apostle required such things of them Jewes, how much more ought the like to be required of us Gentiles, who as I have already shewed, are not by nature in the Covenant, and so consequently not of the externall seed as they were, the dimme* 1.2 light of Circumcision being as farre inferiour to the glorious and shining light of Baptism, as the office of John Baptist exceeded that of Moses, or the smallest Star a flash of Lightning.
