2. Infant Rantism, 'tis true, Unites National Churches, and Churches Built upon that, or the like Constitution, and so it Unites many false and Anti-christian Churches I must confess, as the Church of Rome, and ⟨p. 291⟩some others in the World, much of the same nature; but 'tis the baptism of Christ, viz. that of believers that Unites together, according to the order of the Gospel, all the Members of a true Gospel Church; and the denying of Infant baptism, and being baptized upon a profession of Faith, does but break the Union of Churches of the Saints, that are formerly true and orderly gathered, according to the Institution of Christ, and the rule of the Gospel: For was not the first Gospel Church at Jerusalem, gathered out of the National Church of the Jews, of Persons that repented, believed, and upon the profession of that Faith Baptized, that is Dipped in Water, in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost; also the Church in Samaria, Acts 8. and that in Acts 10. and that at Corinth, Acts 16. and that at Ephesus, Acts 19. and ought not all Churches so to be gathered to the end of the World? ought we not to separate from such Churches, that do not hold the Ordinances that appertain to Church Constitution, as they were first delivered to the Saints, and from such who are guilty also of an Human Innovation, ought we to partake of other Mens Sins, or ought we not to keep our selves pure, Touch not, Taste not, Handle not, which all are to perish with the using after the Commandments and Doctrines of Men, Col. 2. 21, 22.
