A76816	A moderate ansvver to these two questions 1. Whether ther [sic] be sufficient ground in Scripture to warrant the conscience of a Christian to present his infants to the sacrament of baptism. 2. Whether it be not sinfull for a Christian to receiv [sic] the sacrament in a mixt assembly. Prepared for the resolution of a friend, and now presented to the publick view of all, for the satisfaction of them who desire to walk in the ancient and long-approved way of truth and holiness.

teacher_n and_o officer_n in_o the_o church_n they_o must_v indeed_o put_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o thing_n holy_a and_o profane_a they_o must_v separate_v the_o precious_a from_o the_o vile_a
