Christian Preacher
For those who would like a helpful rebuttal against anti-paedobaptism:
Vindiciæ Legis et Fœderis
by Rev. John Flavel
OR, A REPLY TO MR. PHILIP CARY'S SOLEMN CALL;
Wherein he pretends to answer all the Arguments of
MR. ALLEN,
MR. SEDGWICK,
MR. BAXTER,
MR. ROBERTS,
MR. SYDENHAM,
AND DR. BURTHOGGE,
For the Right of Believer's Infants to BAPTISM.
By proving the law at Sinai, and the Covenant of Circumcision with Abraham, were the very same with Adam's Covenant of Works, and that because the Gospel-covenant is absolute.
____________________________
Flavel takes the covenant with Abraham as a works/grace covenant where circumcision is seen as a work and a reiteration of the Covenant of Works, as is the Covenant at Sinai. He has some good things to say.
