of_o infant_n but_o to_o your_o child_n not_o promise_n but_o promise_n to_o which_o i_o reply_v that_o this_o your_o answer_n be_v of_o no_o weight_n for_o infant_n be_v child_n as_o well_o be_v

afar_o off_o but_o he_o likewise_o declare_v they_o to_o be_v those_o child_n to_o who_o the_o promise_n appertain_v as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o parent_n themselves_o which_o do_v plain_o show_v that_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v as_o if_o it_o be_v speak_v of_o all_o their_o child_n both_o godly_a and_o wicked_a but_o of_o all_o those_o child_n who_o do_v not_o degenerate_a from_o the_o step_n of_o their_o holy_a parent_n which_o sin_n of_o apostasy_n or_o degeneration_n you_o can_v just_o lay_v to_o the_o charge_n of_o believer_n infant_n who_o never_o sin_v actual_o
