A84133	The Anabaptists ground-work for reformation: or, New planting of churches, that no man, woman, nor child, may be baptized, but such as have justifying faith, and doe make profession thereof, before, to the baptizer, found false, with all things depending thereon. As being contrary to the Scriptures, and to the examples of Christ and his Apostles, ... Proved by severall arguments. Whereunto one T.L. a principall baptizer, (and apostle in their account) hath given his answers. Unto which answers, replies are also made by I.E. and some arguments annexed, proving, that the children of all such beleevers as were baptized, and so received into the Church, might be baptized, and received also. With a brief declaration what the true reformation is, and shal be, farre above these Anabaptists, and all such carnall builders conceits. And who the two witnesses of God are, by whom chiefly it is to be performed. Imprimatut [sic].

circumcision_n of_o the_o heart_n which_o he_o call_v the_o circumcision_n of_o christ_n the_o name_n baptism_n as_o it_o former_o have_v the_o name_n of_o circumcision_n make_v baptism_n and_o circumcision_n both_o one_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o thing_n signify_v therefore_o as_o little_a child_n be_v to_o have_v that_o sign_n so_o they_o be_v to_o have_v this_o the_o circumcision_n of_o the_o heart_n be_v the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n which_o god_n make_v with_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n of_o which_o seed_n all_o the_o faithful_a gentile_n be_v part_n as_o paul_n declare_v

and_o bless_v they_o and_o that_o this_o be_v a_o great_a thing_n then_o outward_a baptism_n and_o he_o esteem_v they_o meet_v for_o the_o same_o because_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v of_o
