Acts11:17

17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, what was I that I could withstand God?

The Apostles Argument is cogent: They who have the Grace signified by Baptism, ought to have the Seal of that Grace; but the Gentiles had the Grace signified by Baptism. Or they who have the inward Baptism, may not he denied the outward. As he that hath a right to an Inheritance, cannot without Injustice be denied the Writings and Seals thereunto belonging.

To deny Baptism unto any, unto whom it doth belong, is to withstand God, and to keep back the Token of Gods Love from such unto whom it is sent.
