this_o can_v have_v no_o place_n of_o a_o argument_n in_o any_o case_n where_o one_o of_o the_o parent_n be_v not_o a_o infidel_n but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o case_n among_o the_o jew_n hagar_n and_o

whole_o off_o from_o circumcision_n the_o use_n whereof_o engage_v they_o to_o the_o use_n of_o the_o rest_n of_o jewish_a ceremony_n he_o tell_v they_o 5.3_o that_o in_o christ_n we_o be_v

i_o have_v sufficient_o prove_v already_o and_o i_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v serious_o weigh_v whether_o that_o expression_n act._n 10.15_o now_o therefore_o why_o tempt_v you_o god_n to_o put_v a_o

who_o be_v grow_v man_n for_o so_o moses_n law_n require_v but_o these_o false_a teacher_n press_v circumcision_n to_o be_v so_o in_o force_n as_o be_v apparent_a act._n 15.1_o another_o command_n by_o good_a consequence_n for_o the_o baptise_n of_o infant_n you_o shall_v find_v in_o that_o forementioned_a place_n where_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v they_o to_o repent_v and_o be_v baptise_v 39_o etc._n etc._n because_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o they_o and_o to_o their_o child_n which_o as_o i_o show_v you_o clear_o prove_v that_o the_o child_n of_o such_o who_o believe_v and_o be_v

be_v none_o there_o be_v no_o great_a argument_n in_o it_o when_o the_o rule_n be_v so_o plain_a yet_o we_o have_v example_n enough_o by_o good_a consequence_n for_o you_o shall_v find_v the_o

when_o any_o of_o the_o gentile_n turn_v proselyte_n ordinary_o their_o family_n come_v in_o with_o they_o so_o in_o this_o new_a administration_n usual_o if_o the_o master_n of_o the_o house_n turn_v

contemn_v and_o whereas_o some_o object_n against_o this_o argument_n take_v from_o whole_a family_n that_o the_o argument_n be_v at_o least_o as_o strong_a to_o prove_v that_o the_o jewish_a infant_n do_v eat_v the_o passover_n because_o not_o only_o several_a family_n may_v but_o do_v and_o that_o by_o god_n appointment_n eat_v the_o passover_n i_o answer_v by_o deny_v the_o consequence_n the_o argument_n be_v not_o so_o strong_a for_o the_o one_o as_o for_o the_o other_o because_o no_o other_o scripture_n show_v that_o the_o passover_n do_v belong_v to_o infant_n but_o we_o have_v other_o plain_a scripture_n prove_v that_o baptism_n be_v in_o the_o room_n of_o circumcision_n which_o belong_v therefore_o to_o infant_n as_o well_o as_o grow_v man_n if_o any_o can_v instance_n of_o any_o family_n of_o gentile_n who_o be_v circumcise_v the_o consequence_n be_v good_a therefore_o infant_n be_v if_o there_o be_v any_o infant_n because_o other_o scripture_n show_v that_o circumcision_n belong_v to_o infant_n as_o well_o as_o grow_v man_n but_o in_o this_o case_n the_o argument_n be_v not_o good_a so_o much_o for_o my_o first_o and_o main_a argument_n they_o be_v foederati_fw-la

the_o second_o argument_n argument_n to_o who_o the_o inward_a grace_n of_o baptism_n do_v belong_v to_o they_o belong_v the_o outward_a sign_n they_o ought_v to_o have_v the_o sign_n who_o have_v
