believe_v and_o acknowledge_v he_o and_o submit_v themselves_o to_o be_v inform_v by_o his_o word_n though_o they_o have_v not_o yet_o either_o true_a repentance_n or_o justify_v faith_n for_o they_o know_v that_o such_o a_o belief_n and_o profession_n as_o make_v man_n meet_v for_o outward_a baptism_n may_v be_v where_o justify_v faith_n be_v not_o and_o that_o both_o that_o belief_n profession_n

they_o judge_v or_o conclude_v of_o any_o but_o when_o they_o see_v better_a cause_n now_o concern_v the_o baptise_v of_o child_n which_o they_o say_v be_v no_o baptism_n at_o all_o but_o do_v call_v it_o the_o mark_n of_o the_o beast_n we_o affirm_v that_o the_o child_n of_o all_o such_o believer_n as_o may_v themselves_o be_v baptize_v may_v also_o be_v baptize_v and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o

come_v the_o more_o clear_a to_o the_o point_n let_v we_o remember_v that_o it_o be_v sufficient_o prove_v already_o that_o all_o have_v sin_v in_o adam_n and_o that_o death_n be_v pass_v on_o all_o for_o that_o all_o have_v sin_v in_o he_o be_v pollute_v from_o their_o very_a conception_n and_o that_o therefore_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o a_o new_a birth_n from_o above_o of_o water_n and_o of_o the_o spirit_n as_o well_o to_o the_o young_a man_n of_o day_n or_o hour_n as_o to_o the_o elder_a man_n of_o year_n so_o that_o whosoever_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o flesh_n he_o must_v be_v bear_v again_o from_o above_o of_o the_o spirit_n either_o soon_o or_o late_a if_o he_o be_v save_v and_o that_o although_o repentance_n and_o faith_n be_v the_o part_n of_o this_o new_a birth_n and_o that_o repentance_n have_v these_o part_n whereby_o it_o be_v express_v in_o man_n of_o year_n sorrow_n for_o sin_n confession_n of_o sin_n and_o desire_v of_o pardon_n as_o we_o have_v before_o

which_o in_o they_o be_v no_o other_o in_o nature_n but_o the_o very_a same_o which_o be_v in_o man_n of_o year_n though_o it_o be_v not_o outward_o so_o express_v as_o we_o may_v perceive_v by_o the_o word_n of_o paul_n to_o the_o faithful_a of_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n forasmuch_o say_v he_o as_o you_o be_v manifest_o declare_v to_o be_v the_o epistle_n of_o christ_n minister_v by_o we_o write_v not_o with_o ink_n but_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o live_a god_n not_o in_o table_n of_o stone_n but_o in_o the_o fleshly_a table_n of_o the_o heart_n for_o as_o the_o law_n of_o

even_o in_o their_o very_a conception_n a_o deep_a impression_n thereof_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n ever_o be_v be_v and_o be_v to_o be_v write_v in_o heart_n of_o flesh_n soft_a and_o tender_a heart_n and_o in_o no_o other_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o god_n do_v promise_v to_o take_v away_o from_o his_o elect_a the_o hard_a and_o stony_a heart_n and_o to_o give_v they_o a_o heart_n of_o flesh_n a_o humble_a and_o break_a heart_n because_o his_o pleasure_n and_o promise_n be_v to_o dwell_v with_o such_o to_o revive_v and_o comfort_v they_o and_o no_o other_o and_o to_o speak_v plain_o howsoever_o perhaps_o some_o do_v otherwise_o conceive_v it_o be_v not_o our_o act_n of_o believe_v that_o
