A35303	A just reply to Mr. John Flavell's arguments by way of answer to a discourse lately published, entitled, A solemn call, &c. wherein it is further plainly proved that the covenant made with Israel on Mount Sinai, as also the covenant of circumcision made with Abraham, whereon so much stress is laid for the support of infants baptism ... : together with a reply to Mr. Joseph Whiston's reflections on the forementioned discourse, in a late small tract of his entituled, The right method for the proving of infants baptism ... / by Philip Cary ...

that_o it_o be_v therefore_o a_o great_a mistake_n for_o any_o to_o affirm_v that_o the_o law_n write_v in_o stone_n be_v not_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n because_o confirm_v by_o blood_n and_o
