A65668	An essay to revive the primitive doctrine and practice of infant-baptism in the resolution of four questions I. What are the reasons of God's appointing the token of the covenant to be applyed to the infant-seed of his people? II. What is the good or benefit they receive thereby? III. What is the duty of parents towards their children as bearing the token of the covenant? IV. What is the improvement that children as grown up to years of maturity, may and ought to make of the token, as applyed to them in their infancy / by Joseph Whiston ...	Whiston, Joseph, d. 1690.	1676 (1676)	Wing W1690; ESTC R38586	159,793	270

how_o few_o shall_v we_o find_v that_o will_v be_v at_o the_o pain_n or_o allow_v themselves_o sufficient_a time_n thorough_o to_o weigh_v and_o well_o digest_v what_o they_o read_v and_o with_o the_o

appear_v to_o correspond_v with_o their_o precedent_a sentiment_n they_o ready_o embrace_v that_o or_o if_o any_o thing_n disagree_v therefrom_o they_o as_o sudden_o reject_v without_o a_o due_a weigh_v of_o what_o be_v write_v and_o compare_v one_o thing_n with_o another_o but_o alas_o divine_a truth_n especial_o that_o lie_n more_o towards_o the_o bottom_n of_o those_o golden_a mine_n

from_o error_n at_o so_o easy_a a_o rate_n the_o second_o be_v those_o gross_a neglect_n that_o parent_n be_v general_o guilty_a of_o towards_o their_o child_n oh_o the_o murder_n even_o of_o their_o
