any_o express_a precept_n for_o their_o long_a prayer_n for_o baptise_v woman_n or_o administer_a the_o communion_n to_o they_o show_v we_o any_o express_a precept_n for_o the_o change_n of_o the_o

scripture_n that_o the_o apostle_n ever_o baptize_v infant_n therefore_o we_o may_v not_o baptize_v they_o we_o answer_v 1_o if_o your_o principle_n be_v true_a it_o may_v thence_o be_v conclude_v that_o the_o lord_n supper_n may_v not_o be_v administer_v to_o woman_n for_o we_o no_o where_o read_v in_o express_a word_n that_o the_o apostle_n ever_o administer_v it_o unto_o they_o 2_o express_a

be_v baptize_v we_o read_v not_o express_o that_o the_o apostle_n in_o baptise_v mention_v the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o most_o certain_a consequence_n conclude_v it_o because_o christ_n so_o appoint_v it_o and_o it_o be_v of_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o why_o shall_v we_o more_o tie_v the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n to_o express_v word_n than_o any_o of_o these_o fundamental_a thing_n be_v tie_v and_o on_o the_o like_a consequential_a ground_n why_o shall_v we_o doubt_v whether_o the_o apostle_n do_v indeed_o usual_o baptize_v infant_n of_o

not_o to_o be_v baptize_v and_o again_o mat._n 3._o they_o confess_v their_o sin_n and_o be_v baptize_v which_o infant_n can_v do_v we_o answer_v 1_o forasmuch_o as_o infant_n can_v actual_o as_o such_o repent_v or_o confess_v it_o conclude_v that_o these_o thing_n for_o the_o present_a concern_v not_o infant_n for_o no_o impossibility_n be_v reasonable_o enjoin_v any_o but_o belong_v to_o person_n of_o year_n or_o those_o who_o be_v not_o yet_o seal_v into_o the_o communion_n of_o christ_n church_n and_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o unto_o such_o peter_n speak_v as_o far_o as_o his_o word_n concern_v infant_n be_v also_o express_a be_v baptize_v every_o one_o of_o you_o in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n for_o the_o promise_n be_v to_o you_o

to_o be_v teach_v believe_v and_o repent_v no_o but_o to_o those_o first_o who_o be_v to_o be_v seal_v the_o eight_o day_n after_o they_o be_v bear_v who_o certain_o can_v then_o no_o more_o actual_o believe_v or_o repent_v then_o can_v our_o infant_n now_o therefore_o it_o be_v plain_a to_o those_o who_o will_v understand_v that_o person_n of_o year_n to_o be_v teach_v must_v first_o repent_v etc._n etc._n but_o infant_n to_o who_o the_o promise_n covenant_n or_o seal_v thereof_o joint_o belong_v must_v besealed_a as_o joint-covenanters_a with_o their_o parent_n before_o they_o can_v actual_o believe_v or_o repent_v for_o why_o else_o after_o this_o exhortation_n to_o repentance_n and_o baptism_n do_v he_o mention_v their_o child_n be_v they_o no_o way_n liable_a to_o this_o double_a precept_n repent_v and_o be_v baptize_v every_o one_o of_o you_o who_o they_o only_a who_o can_v actual_o for_o the_o present_a repent_v nay_o but_o peter_n know_v well_o that_o child_n of_o who_o he_o speak_v can_v not_o do_v that_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o present_a want_n of_o the_o use_n of_o reason_n yet_o he_o know_v they_o have_v need_n of_o remission_n of_o sin_n by_o christ_n and_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v make_v to_o they_o without_o which_o it_o be_v but_o vain_a for_o man_n to_o seal_v and_o as_o firm_o concern_v they_o as_o their_z enchurch_v parent_n and_o therefore_o he_o mention_v they_o there_o appear_v neither_o act_n nor_o habit_n of_o regeneration_n in_o infant-baptism_n 17._o until_o they_o be_v teach_v the_o word_n neither_o any_o more_o
