5._o where_o you_o revive_v it_o again_o then_o your_o chearse_v mr._n hooker_n sentence_n and_o there_o sinde_v that_o i_o do_v not_o accord_v with_o he_o if_o not_o than_o i_o pray_v lee_n this_o convince_v you_o that_o you_o have_v not_o speak_v right_o when_o you_o say_v i_o borrow_v my_o ground_n from_o mr._n hooker_n reader_n in_o your_o epist_n to_o the_o reader_n how_o do_v i_o borrow_v my_o ground_n from_o he_o to_o who_o i_o go_v cross_n as_o you_o say_v i_o do_v if_o i_o have_v do_v so_o mr._n hooker_n be_v a_o man_n of_o who_o one_o may_v borrow_v but_o i_o do_v not_o remember_v what_o ground_n i_o borrow_v but_o i_o be_v glad_a when_o i_o see_v so_o learned_a and_o holy_a a_o man_n to_o defend_v some_o thing_n which_o before_o i_o conceive_v be_v right_o but_o as_o to_o this_o difference_n here_o i_o be_o sure_a mr._n hooker_n be_v now_o alive_a in_o england_n he_o will_v not_o baptize_v all_o the_o child_n of_o any_o of_o the_o congregalon_n d●●_n england_n without_o any_o more_o ado_n i_o can_v gather_v so_o much_o out_o of_o his_o book_n and_o therefore_o we_o do_v not_o differ_v in_o this_o then_o you_o come_v to_o my_o first_o premise_v which_o be_v the_o infant_n abstract_v from_o the_o parens_fw-la 3._o page_n 3._o give_v no_o reason_n why_o it_o shall_v be_v baptize_v this_o say_v you_o be_v otherwise_o propound_v by_o mr._n hooker_n then_o it_o be_v unlikely_a to_o be_v borrow_v of_o he_o then_o you_o tell_v i_o it_o be_v not_o right_o propose_v yes_o sir_n very_o right_a it_o be_v ordinary_a with_o divine_n to_o lay_v a_o proposition_n first_o further_o off_o 4._o page_n 4._o then_o to_o come_v near_o neither_o do_v i_o see_v that_o you_o have_v one_o whit_n consure_v it_o but_o yield_v it_o do_v you_o baptize_v any_o child_n in_o your_o parish_n without_o consider_v it_o in_o relation_n to_o a_o parent_n do_v you_o consider_v it_o in_o it_o selse_a abstract_a from_o any_o other_o and_o yet_o baptize_v it_o i_o pray_v make_v a_o argument_n out_o of_o that_o text_n in_o your_o title-page_n mar_n 10.14_o which_o i_o preslime_v you_o bring_v for_o infant_n baptism_n and_o consider_v the_o infant_n alone_o as_o abstract_v from_o the_o parent_n you_o say_v present_o here_o the_o child_n of_o england_n be_v christian_n bear_v how_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o house_n soil_n or_o the_o parent_n then_o it_o be_v a_o christian_a child_n and_o in_o relation_n to_o such_o a_o one_o it_o be_v baptize_v thus_o you_o find_v fault_n with_o mr._n hooker_n but_o if_o you_o will_v cross_v he_o 185._o diatr_n 185._o or_o myself_o who_o be_o not_o worthy_a to_o be_v name_v in_o the_o day_n with_o he_o lay_v down_o this_o proposition_n viz._n the_o infant_n of_o england_n quâ_fw-la sic_fw-la consider_v as_o abstract_v from_o any_o where_o aught_o to_o be_v baptize_v if_o you_o will_v maintain_v this_o than_o i_o confess_v you_o may_v find_v faule_fw-mi for_o your_o second_o answer_n when_o any_o body_n practice_v as_o you_o say_v there_o then_o let_v such_o a_o one_o consider_v it_o you_o may_v have_v spare_v those_o line_n for_o i_o know_v none_o such_o i_o do_v it_o before_o the_o child_n be_v bring_v then_o you_o come_v to_o the_o second_o premise_v the_o child_n be_v baptize_v as_o consider_v in_o relation_n to_o a_o parent_n one_o or_o both_o that_o be_v the_o sum_n you_o say_v m._n hooker_n and_o i_o

so_o do_v second_o you_o tell_v i_o of_o two_o other_o way_n for_o child_n to_o come_v to_o baptism_n beside_o the_o next_o parent_n 5._o page_n 5._o of_o which_o hereafter_o next_o you_o say_v i_o

only_o of_o the_o catholic_a church_n and_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o require_v baptism_n for_o his_o child_n 〈◊〉_d for_o a_o catholic_a church_n yes_o i_o own_v it_o neither_o do_v i_o know_v any_o

whether_o it_o be_v one_o organitall_a body_n i_o see_v some_o difficulty_n in_o that_o and_o leave_v in_o for_o further_a time_n to_o discover_v the_o congregationall_a man_n for_o aught_o i_o can_v

that_o they_o will_v not_o own_o nor_o do_v you_o but_o upon_o a_o call_n they_o will_v go_v along_o with_o other_o officer_n and_o assist_v they_o in_o clear_v out_o thing_n and_o help_v they_o what_o may_v be_v only_o they_o will_v not_o put_v forth_o such_o power_n against_o such_o to_o who_o they_o be_v no_o officer_n i_o trouble_v not_o these_o holy_a man_n in_o that_o those_o who_o will_v differ_v with_o such_o man_n upon_o these_o point_v i_o think_v do_v not_o well_o the_o other_o part_n do_v not_o concern_v my_o question_n neither_o be_o i_o so_o clear_a in_o it_o as_o i_o wish_v i_o be_v i_o shall_v humble_o propound_v my_o thought_n 1._o if_o a_o man_n must_v first_o be_v a_o member_n of_o a_o particular-visible-church_n before_o he_o can_v be_v of_o the_o catholike-visible-church_n than_o your_o notion_n will_v not_o hold_v but_o the_o antecedent_n be_v true_a ergo_fw-la the_o consequent_a be_v true_a antec_fw-la i_o prove_v if_o a_o man_n must_v first_o be_v cast_v our_o of_o a_o particular-church_n before_o he_o can_v out_o of_o the_o catholic_a than_o a_o man_n must_v first_o be_v a_o member_n of_o a_o particular_a before_o he_o can_v be_v of_o the_o catholic_a church_n but_o the_o antecedent_n be_v true_v 〈◊〉_d ergo._n consequence_n be_v clear_a to_o i_o on_o this_o ground_n else_o i_o can_v see_v how_o he_o who_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o a_o particular_a church_n can_v be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o catholic_a church_n 17._o though_o excommunicate_v unjust_o yet_o till_o case_n be_v hear_v communion_n deny_v council_n sa●●ll_n can._n 17._o if_o a_o man_n be_v first_o a_o member_n of_o a_o particular_a church_n and_o by_o virtue_n of_o this_o come_v to_o have_v communion_n with_o all_o other_o church_n this_o latter_a depend_v on_o the_o former_a than_o the_o reason_n be_v clear_a cast_v he_o out_o of_o a_o particular_a church_n you_o cut_v he_o off_o from_o all_o communion_n with_o other_o but_o if_o a_o man_n be_v first_o a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n and_o his_o be_v a_o member_n of_o this_o particular_a church_n depend_v upon_o that_o than_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n for_o though_o you_o have_v cast_v he_o out_o of_o your_o particular_a church_n which_o be_v second_o yet_o his_o membership_n to_o the_o catholic_a church_n which_o be_v first_o and_o independent_a upon_o this_o still_o remain_v and_o you_o do_v in_o excommunication_n but_o cast_v he_o into_o that_o state_n he_o be_v in_o before_o he_o join_v to_o you_o so_o that_o still_o he_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n and_o may_v demand_v ordinance_n elsewhere_o other_o church_n deny_v not_o communion_n before_o the_o particular_a do_v of_o which_o he_o be_v a_o member_n than_o they_o follow_v hence_o their_o act_n depefid_v on_o this_o if_o depend_v than_o not_o first_o 2._o this_o seem_v a_o little_a odd_a to_o i_o a_o man_n be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n only_o thence_o he_o will_v require_v baptism_n of_o this_o church_n of_o another_o church_n he_o will_v require_v the_o lord_n supper_n in_o another_o there_o he_o will_v bear_v to_o he_o may_v go_v to_o all_o church_n in_o
and_o out_o of_o he_o i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o answer_n and_o show_v you_o the_o reason_n be_v not_o as_o you_o say_v mr._n hooker_n thus_o the_o faithful_a congregation_n of_o england_n be_v true_a church_n member_n that_o come_v commend_v from_o such_o church_n to_o we_o here_o so_o that_o it_o do_v appear_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n 11._o preface_n p._n 11._o whence_o they_o come_v that_o they_o be_v by_o t●em_n approve_v and_o not_o scandalous_a they_o ought_v to_o be_v receive_v to_o church_n communion_n with_o we_o as_o member_n of_o other_o church_n with_o we_o in_o new_a england_n in_o like_a case_n so_o commend_v and_o approve_v hence_o then_o sir_n be_v the_o plain_a reason_n the_o people_n that_o go_v from_o hence_o do_v quite_o depart_v from_o these_o church_n so_o that_o they_o never_o come_v more_o under_o the_o inspection_n of_o the_o officer_n and_o church●s_n here_o they_o n●ver_o b●ing_v letter_n testimonial_a from_o you_o to_o show_v they_o be_v member_n still_o with_o you_o and_o approve_v by_o you_o and_o so_o commend_v as_o say_v mr._n hooker_n to_o those_o church_n there_o but_o thither_o they_o come_v free_a from_o all_o church_n even_o in_o their_o own_o account_n and_o there_o let_v they_o walk_v as_o they_o will_v there_o be_v no_o church_n have_v power_n to_o reach_v they_o unless_o they_o will_v join_v themselves_o to_o

person_n who_o intent_n be_v not_o to_o disjoyne_v themselves_o from_o you_o only_o they_o go_v as_o merchant_n on_o some_o other_o errand_n let_v the_o godly_a officer_n of_o such_o congregation_n

and_o i_o dare_v warrant_v you_o such_o person_n shall_v not_o be_v deny_v communion_n though_o you_o have_v not_o a_o explicit_a covenant_n and_o here_o sir_n they_o require_v no_o more_o of_o you_o
