capacity_n and_o at_o length_n approve_v and_o establish_v they_o in_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n can_v but_o be_v judge_v rational_a and_o christian_n if_o we_o take_v these_o consideration_n 1._o that_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n guide_v as_o to_o help_v child_n according_a to_o capacity_n to_o natural_a perfection_n so_o to_o know_v above_o all_o the_o god_n of_o their_o nature_n it_o be_v a_o opinion_n worse_o than_o brutish_a not_o to_o season_v that_o tender_a age_n with_o some_o thing_n of_o god_n as_o it_o can_v receive_v they_o it_o be_v not_o take_v god_n name_n in_o vain_a reasonable_o to_o make_v he_o know_v to_o the_o weak_a understanding_n that_o it_o may_v grow_v therein_o 2._o that_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n in_o the_o old_a church_n for_o the_o appear_v of_o the_o male_n before_o he_o three_o time_n at_o least_o in_o the_o year_n be_v to_o nurture_n they_o and_o bring_v they_o to_o more_o acquaintance_n with_o god_n and_o confirm_v they_o in_o his_o truth_n and_o be_v there_o not_o need_v to_o keep_v analogy_n with_o that_o for_o perfect_a soul_n towards_o god_n under_o the_o gospel_n 3._o that_o the_o many_o exhortation_n in_o the_o gospel_n for_o watch_v over_o the_o flock_n to_o feed_v the_o lamb_n to_o perfect_a to_o establish_v soul_n in_o the_o truth_n can_v but_o imply_v the_o necessity_n and_o usefulness_n of_o such_o a_o practice_n in_o the_o church_n for_o the_o nurture_a of_o tender_a age_n and_o at_o last_o confirm_v they_o in_o christ_n to_o the_o edify_n whereof_o i_o be_o confident_a the_o author_n have_v his_o main_a scope_n and_o i_o shall_v pray_v he_o may_v not_o miss_v of_o his_o aim_n the_o lord_n own_o that_o which_o be_v his_o in_o the_o work_n and_o make_v it_o prosper_v in_o he_o i_o be_o plymoth_n

the_o church-communion_n of_o the_o adult_n whereas_o i_o there_o express_v that_o a_fw-la sober_a profession_n of_o repentance_n and_o faith_n in_o christ_n if_o they_o be_v adult_n be_v necessary_a to_o qualify_v they_o first_o for_o that_o baptism_n and_o that_o they_o must_v after_o produce_v that_o evidence_n not_o blot_v by_o heresy_n or_o scandalous_a sin_n in_o which_o i_o plain_o suppose_v that_o those_o that_o be_v baptise_a in_o infancy_n must_v also_o at_o age_n produce_v the_o evidence_n of_o a_o infant-baptism_n upon_o the_o parent_n profession_n with_o their_o own_o actual_a profession_n when_o adult_n but_o because_o i_o find_v some_o understand_v not_o that_o which_o be_v write_v in_o few_o word_n i_o have_v since_o divers_a time_n explain_v it_o in_o several_a treatise_n especial_o in_o one_o of_o infant-baptism_n and_o one_o late_o of_o right_a to_o sacrament_n in_o the_o former_a many_o year_n since_o i_o find_v it_o meet_v in_o deal_v with_o the_o anabaptist_n to_o plead_v for_o the_o restore_n of_o solemn_a public_a confirmation_n of_o all_o that_o have_v be_v baptise_a in_o infancy_n as_o their_o solemn_a entrance_n into_o the_o state_n of_o adult_n member_n and_o i_o presume_v to_o make_v a_o humble_a motion_n to_o the_o magistracy_n and_o ministry_n to_o take_v it_o into_o consideration_n and_o pag._n 120_o 121_o 122._o give_v in_o some_o proof_n of_o the_o necessity_n of_o a_o personal_a covenant_v of_o the_o adult_n beside_o the_o infant-covenant_n by_o their_o parent_n what_o other_o think_v of_o this_o motion_n i_o know_v not_o but_o my_o reverend_a brethren_n of_o this_o county_n who_o after_o associate_v for_o the_o better_a manage_n of_o their_o ministerial_a work_n do_v so_o far_o approve_v the_o matter_n that_o they_o ready_o concur_v to_o make_v it_o one_o article_n of_o their_o agreement_n at_o our_o association_n in_o these_o word_n r._n 7._o we_o shall_v distinguish_v between_o infant-member_n and_o adult_n and_o for_o the_o former_a we_o shall_v take_v their_o parent_n profession_n and_o for_o the_o latter_a we_o shall_v expect_v their_o own_o and_o though_o it_o can_v be_v determine_v just_a to_o a_o day_n or_o year_n when_o any_o be_v past_o his_o infant_n church-estate_n yet_o none_o must_v be_v enrol_v and_o account_v among_o adult_n and_o perfect_a member_n till_o they_o personal_o and_o public_o shall_v make_v their_o profession_n whether_o it_o be_v only_o of_o their_o faith_n and_o obedience_n to_o christ_n that_o they_o may_v be_v esteem_v adult_n member_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n or_o also_o their_o consent_n to_o be_v member_n of_o a_o particular_a church_n we_o think_v not_o meet_v to_o make_v imposition_n of_o hand_n than_o a_o article_n of_o our_o agreement_n because_o its_o possible_a some_o good_a man_n may_v differ_v in_o it_o but_o the_o necessity_n of_o public_a personal_a profession_n we_o agree_v of_o but_o still_o the_o most_o be_v too_o slack_a in_o the_o execution_n yesterday_o in_o the_o conclusion_n of_o a_o discourse_n of_o conversion_n i_o think_v it_o my_o duty_n to_o motion_n such_o a_o thing_n to_o my_o auditory_a as_o the_o public_a own_n of_o conversion_n and_o lament_v the_o sin_n of_o unregeneracy_n and_o profession_n of_o resolution_n for_o a_o holy_a life_n and_o present_o the_o same_o day_n this_o treatise_n come_v to_o be_v offer_v to_o my_o perusal_n though_o my_o judgement_n be_v not_o of_o that_o weight_n as_o to_o add_v much_o to_o the_o reputation_n of_o it_o yet_o the_o treatise_n have_v that_o evidence_n which_o i_o hope_v have_v add_v somewhat_o to_o my_o judgement_n the_o reverend_a author_n i_o be_o utter_o unacquainted_a with_o but_o in_o this_o learned_a judicious_a pious_a exercitation_n i_o see_v much_o more_o of_o he_o than_o the_o face_n the_o subject_n i_o take_v to_o be_v of_o very_o great_a usefulness_n and_o the_o manner_n of_o handle_v it_o need_v not_o my_o

it_o be_v a_o point_n that_o shall_v be_v entertain_v with_o universal_a alacrity_n upon_o several_a account_n 1._o because_o it_o be_v so_o common_o receive_v by_o protestant_n and_o therefore_o among_o we_o the_o less_o liable_a to_o opposition_n though_o unhapy_o the_o practice_n of_o too_o many_o have_v overlook_v it_o yet_o by_o the_o easy_a cheap_a way_n of_o writing_n and_o speak_v for_o it_o the_o most_o have_v give_v it_o a_o fair_a complemental_a entertainment_n 2._o because_o it_o be_v so_o excellent_o suit_v to_o the_o joint_a promote_a of_o holiness_n and_o unity_n that_o it_o seem_v a_o salve_n just_o fit_v to_o our_o sore_n where_o one_o part_n run_v away_o from_o purity_n for_o fear_v of_o division_n and_o the_o other_o run_v away_o from_o unity_n for_o fear_v of_o impurity_n 3._o and_o withal_o our_o great_a sin_n against_o god_n and_o his_o church_n by_o so_o long_a and_o common_a a_o neglect_n of_o this_o duty_n shall_v awake_v tender_a conscience_n to_o penitency_n and_o the_o ready_a obedience_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v though_o the_o papist_n themselves_o do_v agree_v with_o we_o for_o confirmation_n yet_o their_o confirmation_n and_o we_o
