Consider whether that NONLATINALPHABET 1 Pet. 3.21. or Stipulatio bonae Conscientiae, as Beza has translated, may not be fitly thought to allude to some such thing? Many have thence spoken of a stipulation: and very many. Brentius: Petrus in priori sua Epistola, Baptismus (inquit) est NONLATINALPHABET, hoc est, stipulatio bonae conscientiae erga Deum. Quibus verbis Baptismi ratio valde significanter explicater. Etenim quod inter homines in civilibus stipulationibus fieri solet, hoe idem sit in Baptismo inter Deum & hominem. In civili autem stipulatione, (quae est, ut Jurisconsultus definit, conceptio verborum, quibus is, qui interrogatur, daturum facturumve se id, quod interrogatus est, respendet, videlicet: Spondes? spondeo: promittis? promitto: dabis? dabo: facies? faciam) primum est interrogans, quem vocant stipulatorem, deinde respondens, qui est promissor, postremo res ipsa de qua fit stipulatio; & in legitima stipulatione promissor stipulatori ita firmiter obligatur, ut quasi vinculo quodam solvendae promissae rei astringatur; sic in Baptismo, &c. Homil. 23. ad Luc. 3. fol. 46. which is indeed the nature of that compact, by our Bracton: Stipulatio est quaedam verborum conceptio, quae consistit ex interrogatione & responsione, ut si dicatur, Promittis? Promitto: Dabis? do. &c. lib. 3. tract. 1. ca. 2. sect. 2. & Fleta, lib. 2. cap. 56. sec. 9. which they might have both from the Imperials: Instit. 3. de verborum obligat. sect. in hac re. Bellarmine alledges Lyranus, Gagnaeus, & Johan. à. Lovan: for this interpretation; de Sacram: lib. 1. cap. 17. Chamier ads many other, Nicetas Hesselius, &c. tom. 4. lib. 2. cap. sect. 5, & 11. Pamellius on Tertullian goes the same way, lib. de Bapt. cap. 6. num. 45. & Joseph Vicecomes. de ritibus Bapt. lib. 2. cap. 23. & Estius in his coments on the place: & Dr. Brockman, Systhem. Theol. art. 34. sect. 3. and Hooker in his Eccles. Polit. 5. sect. 63. NONLATINALPHABET signifieth a stipulation or promise conceived in words, whereby he that is baptized covenanteth to believe and do as he is in baptisme required. Mr. Legh, Critica sacra, pa. 213. Non enim sufficit baptizando habere bonam conscientiam, nisi ad interrogationem ecclesiae suam fidem ostendat, says the Canon from 1. Pet. 3.21. de Consecrat. dist. 4. cap. Verus Baptismus. Thus after mine own thoughts had led me to this conjecture, plenty of confirmation came in from abroad. Beza's attestation to all will not be despised. Sed omnino praestat ut hoc referamus ad interrogationes Catechistarum quibus Catechumeni interiorem Baptismum testificabantur exteriore sanciendum, ut Act. 8.37. Quò spectat Apostolicum totum symbolum, & illud, ab adultorum Baptismo ad insantium baptismum, magno errore, si ipsos infantes spectes, translatum, Credis? Credo. Abrenuncias? Abrenuncio. Unde illud Tertulliani (lib. de resurrect.) Anima non lavatione sed responsione sancitur. Annotat. maior. ad 1 Pet. 3.21. |

NONLATINALPHABET. Chrysost. Homil. 21. ad popul. Antioch. tom. 1. pa. 244. When a man lyes sick upon his bed and like a block, how can he consent to those words, NONLATINALPHABET, whereby he is to contract a league with the God of all? Id. in Homil. 51. ad Illuminand. tom. eod pa. 707. — sequentis vitae ac purioris vivendi rationis PACTUM cum DEO in itum. Gregor. Nazianzen. Orat. 40. tom. 1. pa. 641. vid. etiam Joan. Damascen. de Barlaam & Josaphat, cap. 8. & B••l. exhort. ad Bapt. Homil. 13. tom. 1. pa. 415. Baptisme implyeth a Covenant betwixt G d and man, saith Mr. Hooker, wherein as God doth bestow presently remission of sins and the holy Ghost, binding also himself to add in process of time what grace soever shall be farther necessary for the atainment of everlasting life, so every baptized soul receiving the same grace at the hand of God, tyeth it self for ever to the observation of his Law, Ecclesiast. Polit. 5. sect. 64. pa. 337. And from advantage of this preconfederation and firmness of the COMPACT we may suppose it to be, that those who deliberate of plain Apostacy, or falling from God to his Enemie, as Witches (having been baptized) can, as is said of them, do nothing in this accursed hellish business of new league till they have abjured their Baptisme and trampled under foot their former Contract, Renouncing their past Christian Renunciation, and tearing in pieces the Articles of that bless'd agreement, whereby they were so (thus) made over to God in Christ, that they could not be anothers, nor enter into new covenant-service till they were discharged of their former Master; As a woman can superinduce no new relation conjugall till she have sued out divorce from whose she was; Feodum talliatum, not pass to a stranger before the tallie be taken in, and the Indenture of past appropriation revoked; A State can do nothing contrary to a Publick Act unrepealed; nor a privat person go against his own hand. All which if, and these things be so; What a great advantage must it be to Sathans Kingdom to have left out what was so contrary to him? What a loss to Christ, by his servants not being hindred from his enemie? What must follow hereon, but a Gate set ready open for Hell and Death? and (by forbearance to lay across that rub and impediment was wont to hinder) the levelling and making plain a ready smooth way to the D? But I forbear Position here: The suppositum lyes far off in a dark Region of knowledge wherein I thank God I have little acquaintance. Darkness should not make way to light. These foundation-Premises are slippery or weak, and so no confident boldness should be taken up in superstruction or conclusion. |
