advanse_v by_o us._n more_o over_o in_o certain_a pryncipal_a point_n of_o our_o christian_a fay_v they_o accord_v very_o well_o with_o the_o papist_n hold_v opinion_n direct_o repugnaunte_a to_o

believe_v that_o their_o sin_n be_v take_v away_o by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o will_v walk_v in_o his_o resurrection_n therefore_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v minister_v unto_o such_o as_o ask_v for_o it_o

that_o baptism_n shall_v not_o be_v communicate_v but_o to_o he_o that_o ask_v it_o make_v profession_n of_o fay_v and_o repentance_n and_o therefore_o the_o baptism_n of_o little_a child_n be_v a_o

to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o in_o these_o place_n there_o be_v nothing_o speak_v of_o baptism_n but_o insidentlye_o for_o it_o be_v put_v there_o as_o a_o accessary_a of_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o

note_v that_o for_o this_o cause_n the_o doctrine_n ought_v to_o go_v before_o this_o sacrament_n which_o be_v add_v unto_o it_o as_o the_o seal_n thereof_o in_o this_o thing_n we_o agree_v but_o you_o must_v know_v how_o and_o this_o thing_n be_v it_o which_o abuse_v these_o poor_a phantasticals_n that_o they_o do_v not_o consider_v the_o man_n for_o when_o there_o be_v a_o man_n which_o be_v a_o estraunger_n from_o the_o christian_a church_n as_o a_o turk_n a_o jew_n or_o any_o other_o heythen_a man_n for_o to_o make_v he_o a_o christian_n it_o be_v wythoute_n question_n that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o begin_v with_o he_o first_o by_o baptism_n but_o before_o he_o be_v baptize_v he_o must_v be_v instruct_v and_o such_o be_v the_o usage_n of_o the_o ancient_a church_n for_o they_o which_o be_v convert_v unto_o christ_n have_v for_o a_o certain_a time_n their_o predication_n apart_o which_o be_v call_v catechism_n and_o afterward_o have_v testimony_n of_o their_o faith_n &_o repentance_n they_o be_v baptize_v reason_n will_v it_o thus_o for_o see_v that_o man_n be_v not_o only_o introduce_v by_o baptism_n into_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n but_o also_o have_v there_o his_o attestation_n seal_v that_o god_n do_v knowledge_n he_o for_o one_o of_o his_o child_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o the_o doctrine_n ought_v to_o go_v before_o by_o which_o the_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v teach_v to_o convert_v he_o self_n to_o god_n with_o faith_n &_o repentance_n we_o see_v that_o god_n do_v so_o with_o abraham_n when_o he_o be_v circumcise_v for_o before_o he_o do_v institute_v that_o sign_n for_o h●m_n he_o receyve_v he_o into_o his_o covenaunt_n &_o instruct_v he_o in_o his_o word_n and_o we_o must_v also_o note_v this_o that_o when_o a_o man_n be_v receyve_v of_o god_n into_o the_o company_n of_o the_o fayethful_a the_o promise_n of_o salvation_n which_o be_v make_v to_o he_o be_v not_o only_o for_o his_o person_n but_o also_o for_o his_o child_n for_o it_o be_v say_v unto_o he_o i_o be_o thy_o god_n and_o the_o god_n of_o thy_o child_n after_o the._n so_o now_o a_o man_n which_o from_o his_o infancy_n be_v not_o receive_v into_o the_o covenaunte_n of_o god_n be_v as_o a_o stranger_n from_o the_o church_n unto_o such_o time_n as_o by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n he_o be_v bring_v unto_o fay_v and_o repentance_n but_o than_o his_o seed_n be_v make_v by_o and_o by_o of_o the_o howshoulde_n of_o the_o church_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n be_v the_o little_a child_n of_o faithful_a man_n baptize_v in_o the_o virtue_n of_o this_o convenaunte_a which_o be_v make_v with_o their_o father_n in_o their_o name_n and_o to_o their_o profit_n here_o you_o see_v where_o the_o anabaptiste_n be_v disceyve_v that_o the_o doctrine_n ought_v to_o proceed_v the_o sacrament_n we_o do_v not_o resist_v but_o the_o hole_n matter_n be_v as_o we_o have_v say_v to_o consider_v how_o and_o by_o what_o man_n for_o when_o the_o question_n be_v of_o a_o man_n in_o age_n to_o be_v baptize_v which_o be_v before_o no_o christian_n before_o he_o be_v christen_v he_o must_v be_v teach_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v figure_v by_o baptism_n but_o as_o touch_v his_o child_n they_o shall_v be_v baptize_v upon_o the_o doctrine_n which_o he_o have_v receyve_v which_o do_v contain_v that_o god_n shall_v be_v a_o savioure_n not_o only_o of_o his_o person_n but_o also_o of_o his_o child_n to_o make_v it_o somewhat_o plain_a to_o the_o understand_v when_o a_o man_n which_o be_v a_o stranger_n to_o the_o company_n of_o the_o fayethfull_a be_v convert_v unto_o god_n the_o doctrine_n upon_o which_o he_o be_v baptize_v be_v set_v forth_o unto_o he_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o he_o understand_v it_o and_o comprehend_v it_o before_o he_o be_v receyve_v unto_o the_o sacrament_n the_o doctrine_n upon_o which_o the_o young_a child_n of_o christian_a man_n be_v bapiise_v be_v not_o setforth_o to_o they_o but_o to_o their_o parent_n and_o to_o the_o whole_a church_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o requisite_a that_o they_o understande_v it_o before_o they_o do_v receyve_v the_o sign_n ☞_o therefore_o when_o man_n make_v this_o argument_n our_o lord_n command_v his_o apostle_n to_o preach_v before_o they_o baptise_a and_o have_v say_v that_o he_o which_o shall_v believe_v &_o shall_v be_v baptize_v shall_v be_v save_v and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o none_o ought_v to_o be_v admit_v to_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n but_o he_o that_o all_o ready_a beleve_v this_o be_v a_o naughty_a
