that_o child_n that_o can_v speak_v nor_o understand_v can_v be_v in_o it_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o follow_a reason_n 1._o because_o they_o that_o be_v in_o this_o covenant_n have_v the_o law_n of_o

have_v but_o receive_v common-prayer-book-baptism_n which_o be_v full_a of_o lie_n and_o deceit_n as_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v at_o large_a show_v that_o the_o godfather_n and_o godmother_n stand_v by_o and_o say_v they_o desire_v to_o be_v baptize_v when_o they_o never_o mean_v it_o and_o then_o their_o take_v the_o poor_a babe_n that_o say_v nor_o know_v nothing_o of_o their_o do_n

have_v you_o the_o three_o reason_n at_o large_a why_o we_o separate_v or_o dissent_v from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n which_o be_v the_o priest_n lie_v and_o deceive_v the_o people_n by_o false_a baptism_n instead_o of_o a_o true_a our_o four_o and_o last_o reason_n be_v the_o priest_n their_o teacher_n cruelty_n and_o blood-thirstiness_a for_o they_o be_v they_o that_o will_v build_v up_o zion_n with_o blood_n &_o jerusalem_n with_o iniquity_n as_o mic._n 3.10_o 11._o for_o they_o do_v not_o only_o preach_v for_o hire_n and_o divine_a for_o money_n but_o they_o will_v have_v the_o life_n and_o blood_n of_o all_o that_o will_v not_o be_v of_o their_o mind_n and_o judgement_n and_o the_o weapon_n of_o their_o warfare_n be_v not_o mighty_a through_o god_n by_o his_o spirit_n and_o the_o sword_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o cast_v down_o high_a imagination_n of_o man_n and_o to_o stop_v their_o mouth_n by_o sound_a doctrine_n as_o 2_o cor._n 10.4_o 5._o with_o eph._n 6.17_o but_o the_o weapon_n of_o their_o warfare_n be_v carnal_a and_o mighty_a through_o the_o magistrate_n to_o pull_v down_o man_n house_n and_o hale_v they_o to_o prison_n and_o convert_v they_o with_o prison_n and_o stock_n and_o whip_n and_o gallow_n these_o be_v the_o weapon_n of_o their_o warfare_n man_n must_v believe_v as_o they_o believe_v or_o else_o be_v hang_v or_o banish_v or_o at_o least_o be_v imprison_v and_o disable_v to_o get_v a_o honest_a live_n by_o the_o labour_n of_o their_o hand_n and_o how_o do_v this_o their_o do_n agree_v with_o that_o say_n in_o rev._n 13.16_o 17._o which_o say_v that_o none_o may_v buy_v or_o sell_v but_o they_o that_o worship_v the_o beast_n and_o his_o image_n and_o receive_v his_o mark_n etc._n etc._n

never_o thank_v they_o for_o it_o for_o we_o know_v it_o be_v against_o their_o will_n witness_n mr._n baxters_n incense_a the_o magistrate_n against_o we_o to_o cut_v we_o off_o as_o soon_o as_o

walk_v in_o the_o comfort_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o be_v edify_v and_o thus_o have_v you_o four_o reason_n at_o large_a of_o our_o dissent_v or_o separate_n from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n 1._o because_o of_o the_o priest_n or_o minister_n covetousness_n as_o appear_v by_o their_o take_a tithe_n and_o force_a maintenance_n greedy_o look_v every_o one_o for_o his_o gain_n from_o his_o own_o quarter_n as_o isa_n 56.11_o 2._o the_o minister_n pride_n in_o advance_v themselves_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o humane_a learning_n above_o those_o that_o have_v the_o spirit_n and_o truth_n of_o god_n in_o they_o more_o than_o they_o 3._o because_o of_o the_o minister_n deceit_n and_o falsehood_n in_o administer_a antichrist_n baptism_n piece_v and_o patch_v of_o it_o together_o with_o lie_n and_o deceit_n to_o make_v the_o poor_a people_n believe_v it_o be_v the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n 4._o reason_n be_v their_o cruelty_n and_o bloodthistiness_n as_o aforesaid_a in_o that_o they_o will_v have_v all_o suffer_v that_o be_v not_o of_o their_o mind_n and_o believe_v as_o they_o believe_v be_v the_o same_o that_o be_v do_v at_o rome_n to_o those_o that_o will_v not_o believe_v as_o the_o church_n believe_v from_o all_o which_o i_o reason_v thus_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v in_o the_o teacher_n and_o leader_n of_o the_o people_n what_o may_v we_o expect_v from_o the_o poor_a delude_a people_n thus_o blind_o lead_v but_o only_o christ_n word_n fulfil_v viz._n if_o the_o blind_a lead_v the_o blind_a they_o will_v both_o fall_v into_o the_o ditch_n thus_o have_v labour_v to_o manifest_v the_o truth_n of_o christ_n to_o those_o that_o know_v it_o not_o and_o to_o vindicate_v the_o truth_n against_o those_o that_o do_v speak_v evil_a of_o it_o and_o the_o professor_n of_o the_o same_o i_o have_v also_o labour_v to_o make_v the_o folly_n and_o wickedness_n of_o deceiver_n who_o transform_v themselves_o into_o minister_n of_o righteousness_n manifest_a to_o all_o i_o commit_v my_o line_n to_o the_o view_n of_o all_o both_o friend_n and_o enemy_n not_o doubt_v the_o favourable_a acceptance_n of_o the_o one_o not_o at_o all_o fear_v the_o subtlety_n nor_o malice_n of_o the_o other_o but_o desire_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n upon_o my_o weak_a and_o unworthy_a labour_n for_o the_o good_a of_o all_o man_n i_o remain_v you_o engage_v
