birth_n from_o above_o and_o of_o that_o baptism_n wherein_o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v bury_v with_o christ_n and_o rise_v with_o he_o and_o to_o put_v he_o on_o and_o which_o save_v and_o that_o it_o do_v signify_v and_o set_v forth_o the_o same_o unto_o we_o and_o i_o do_v believe_v also_o that_o it_o be_v a_o seal_n or_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n which_o god_n have_v make_v with_o the_o faithful_a and_o their_o seed_n as_o circumcision_n in_o the_o flesh_n be_v to_o faithful_a abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n as_o in_o gen._n 17._o 7._o 8._o 11._o and_o rom._n 4._o 11._o not_o all_o that_o come_v of_o abraham_n after_o the_o flesh_n nor_o all_o that_o be_v circumcise_v or_o that_o be_v now_o baptise_v in_o the_o flesh_n but_o 〈◊〉_d god_n say_v to_o abraham_n in_o isaac_n shall_v thy_o seed_n be_v call_v that_o be_v as_o saint_n paul_n say_v they_o which_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o flesh_n these_o be_v not_o the_o child_n of_o god_n but_o the_o child_n of_o the_o promise_n be_v count_v for_o the_o seed_n rom._n 9_o 78._o they_o that_o be_v circumcise_a in_o heart_n and_o be_v of_o the_o same_o faith_n as_o rom._n 4._o 16._o for_o that_o be_v the_o sure_a seek_v of_o the_o covenant_n and_o on_o our_o part_n we_o do_v thereby_o give_v our_o name_n to_o christ_n and_o covenant_n with_o god_n to_o be_v his_o people_n and_o to_o serve_v he_o and_o so_o it_o give_v we_o the_o name_n and_o state_n of_o a_o christian_a outward_o as_o circumcision_n on_o the_o flesh_n do_v the_o name_n and_o state_n of_o a_o jew_n outward_o it_o do_v no_o more_o give_v or_o confer_v grace_n to_o the_o heart_n to_o make_v a_o christian_a inward_o than_o circumcision_n in_o the_o flesh_n do_v to_o make_v a_o jew_n or_o a_o christian_a inward_o for_o to_o be_v a_o jew_n inward_o and_o to_o be_v a_o christian_a inward_o be_v all_o one_o in_o truth_n as_o also_o to_o be_v circumcise_v in_o heart_n and_o to_o be_v baptise_v in_o heart_n be_v all_o one_o in_o truth_n as_o saint_n paul_n declare_v coloss._n 2._o 11._o 12._o and_o so_o it_o follow_v that_o circumcision_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o baptism_n in_o the_o flesh_n be_v both_o one_o in_o signification_n and_o operation_n wherefore_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v so_o and_o that_o he_o be_v not_o a_o jew_n which_o be_v one_o outward_o nor_o that_o circumcision_n which_o be_v outward_a in_o the_o flesh_n but_o he_o be_v a_o jew_n which_o be_v one_o inward_o and_o circumcision_n be_v that_o of_o the_o heart_n in_o the_o spirit_n not_o in_o the_o letter_n who_o praise_n be_v not_o of_o man_n but_o of_o god_n as_o paul_n say_v then_o neither_o circumcision_n in_o the_o flesh_n nor_o baptism_n in_o the_o flesh_n do_v give_v or_o confer_v or_o work_v grace_n in_o the_o heart_n to_o make_v a_o jew_n or_o a_o christian_a inward_o neither_o be_v they_o or_o either_o of_o they_o any_o part_n of_o the_o new_a birth_n from_o above_o or_o of_o that_o baptism_n wherein_o we_o be_v say_v to_o put_v on_o

otherwise_o if_o either_o circumcision_n or_o baptism_n on_o the_o flesh_n do_v confer_v grace_n to_o the_o heart_n than_o all_o be_v thereby_o set_v in_o the_o state_n of_o salvation_n and_o so_o the_o error_n of_o fall_v away_o which_o the_o anabaptist_n arminian_n and_o papist_n hold_v will_v necessary_o follow_v because_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o all_o be_v not_o save_v that_o have_v be_v
