which_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n to_o be_v prove_v that_o all_o man_n be_v under_o sin_n from_o the_o time_n they_o begin_v to_o be_v in_o a_o capacity_n to_o offend_v that_o as_o it_o affirm_v

as_o nothing_o therefore_o can_v be_v want_v towards_o the_o proof_n of_o original_a corruption_n than_o that_o they_o who_o be_v so_o universal_o and_o so_o early_o under_o sin_n be_v so_o also_o from_o a_o inward_a principle_n and_o such_o a_o inward_a principle_n too_o as_o be_v derive_v to_o they_o from_o their_o birth_n so_o we_o shall_v not_o it_o may_v be_v need_v any_o other_o proof_n

can_v be_v suppose_v to_o produce_v it_o without_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o other_o as_o will_v appear_v if_o we_o consider_v the_o force_n of_o example_n and_o which_o as_o it_o be_v the_o

and_o which_o the_o more_o express_a they_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o convictive_a therefore_o i_o shall_v yet_o more_o particular_o endeavour_v to_o evince_v from_o thence_o that_o as_o all_o

our_o religion_n require_v or_o as_o a_o mean_n of_o convey_v the_o grace_n of_o it_o for_o in_o the_o former_a notion_n it_o be_v as_o real_o and_o effectual_o a_o obligation_n to_o a_o christian_a life_n in_o a_o unsincere_a person_n or_o one_o who_o afterward_o apostatize_v as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v never_o so_o hearty_o intend_v the_o obligation_n thereof_o arise_v not_o from_o the_o secret_a sentiment_n of_o the_o person_n that_o be_v baptize_v or_o his_o constancy_n to_o his_o profession_n but_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o and_o the_o institution_n of_o god_n that_o prescribe_v it_o provide_v therefore_o we_o take_v upon_o we_o the_o sacrament_n itself_o we_o tie_v ourselves_o by_o it_o without_o remedy_n neither_o can_v there_o therefore_o be_v any_o need_n of_o our_o oblige_a ourselves_o by_o it_o a_o second_o time_n unless_o he_o who_o institute_v it_o shall_v require_v it_o of_o we_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o so_o far_o as_o we_o have_v depart_v from_o it_o whether_o by_o apostasy_n or_o impiety_n so_o far_o it_o will_v concern_v we_o to_o own_o it_o again_o to_o our_o lord_n and_o master_n by_o our_o repentance_n of_o the_o breach_n of_o it_o and_o a_o repetition_n of_o the_o same_o vow_n unto_o he_o and_o it_o will_v concern_v we_o too_o if_o the_o church_n require_v it_o to_o satisfy_v that_o also_o that_o we_o do_v so_o repent_v and_o will_v amend_v but_o as_o both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o may_v be_v do_v without_o the_o repetition_n of_o our_o baptism_n so_o a_o frank_a acknowledgement_n with_o our_o mouth_n together_o with_o the_o receipt_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n may_v very_o well_o serve_v for_o those_o purpose_n because_o serve_v a_o like_a to_o declare_v they_o but_o it_o may_v be_v the_o principal_a difficulty_n in_o this_o affair_n lie_v in_o what_o concern_v baptism_n as_o a_o mean_n of_o convey_v the_o grace_n of_o it_o and_o particular_o our_o regeneration_n and_o new_a birth_n and_o i_o must_v confess_v i_o be_v for_o some_o time_n at_o a_o loss_n what_o to_o think_v in_o it_o till_o i_o consider_v that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n be_v not_o either_o a_o physical_a cause_n or_o conveyer_n of_o grace_n that_o we_o shall_v think_v the_o grace_n of_o it_o can_v not_o be_v in_o the_o receiver_n of_o baptism_n unless_o it_o be_v either_o present_o produce_v in_o he_o or_o convey_v to_o he_o but_o a_o moral_a instrument_n thereof_o or_o a_o mean_n to_o which_o god_n have_v annex_v the_o promise_n of_o it_o for_o such_o a_o one_o by_o the_o favour_n of_o that_o god_n who_o have_v annex_v the_o promise_n of_o his_o grace_n unto_o it_o may_v operate_v at_o a_o distance_n as_o well_o as_o in_o presence_n and_o according_o may_v convey_v it_o to_o the_o receiver_n of_o baptism_n as_o well_o after_o his_o baptism_n as_o together_o with_o it_o yea_o convey_v it_o after_o the_o baptize_v person_n have_v lose_v it_o as_o well_o as_o it_o do_v at_o first_o which_o suppose_v the_o only_a remain_a difficulty_n will_v be_v whether_o we_o may_v reasonable_o expect_v it_o from_o god_n suppose_v the_o baptize_v person_n to_o return_v and_o repent_v a_o thing_n which_o they_o have_v little_a reason_n to_o question_n who_o believe_v god_n to_o allow_v a_o second_o baptism_n upon_o it_o and_o we_o shall_v have_v far_o less_o if_o we_o reflect_v upon_o the_o former_a instance_n of_o peter_n and_o simon_n magus_n for_o if_o god_n will_v allow_v of_o the_o remedy_n of_o a_o second_o baptism_n upon_o repentance_n why_o not_o also_o allow_v the_o first_o baptism_n to_o be_v the_o mean_n of_o convey_v his_o grace_n and_o our_o health_n and_o soundness_n especial_o when_o the_o breach_n of_o it_o come_v to_o be_v acknowledge_v and_o the_o vow_n thereof_o renew_v and_o if_o god_n accept_v of_o s._n peter_n upon_o his_o bare_a repentance_n and_o direct_v simon_n magus_n to_o no_o other_o remedy_n than_o that_o and_o prayer_n we_o may_v as_o well_o suppose_v that_o if_o he_o accept_v we_o at_o all_o he_o will_v accept_v we_o upon_o that_o and_o our_o old_a baptism_n and_o so_o make_v that_o cooperate_v to_o the_o respective_a grace_n of_o it_o these_o i_o take_v to_o be_v sufficient_a argument_n against_o the_o repetition_n of_o baptism_n and_o the_o more_o because_o they_o also_o suggest_v as_o satisfactory_a answer_n to_o what_o have_v be_v before_o allege_v for_o it_o for_o neither_o can_v they_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o heathen_a and_o consequent_o as_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o a_o new_a baptism_n who_o however_o they_o
