conscience_n can_v well_o dispense_v withal_o as_o appear_v by_o your_o usual_a practice_n and_o whether_o you_o turn_v to_o we_o or_o new-england_n you_o must_v turn_v from_o your_o own_o way_n our_o agreement_n be_v such_o that_o we_o be_v all_o one_o in_o the_o point_n of_o paedobaptism_n against_o you_o we_o in_o this_o land_n hold_v that_o child_n of_o all_o baptize_v parent_n be_v baptizable_a in_o their_o infancy_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n under_o which_o such_o child_n be_v bear_v as_o child_n of_o all_o circumcise_a parent_n be_v circumcisable_v in_o their_o infancy_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o same_o covenant_n of_o grace_n under_o which_o they_o be_v bear_v and_o this_o be_v the_o opinion_n and_o practice_n of_o all_o reform_a church_n that_o i_o know_v as_o the_o french_a scottish_a dutch_a high_a and_o low_a etc._n etc._n but_o what_o they_o do_v in_o new-england_n i_o know_v not_o the_o record_n of_o their_o church_n order_n and_o tenant_n be_v not_o in_o print_n but_o they_o which_o say_v they_o follow_v new-england_n way_n will_v not_o baptize_v all_o child_n of_o believer_n neither_o except_o they_o be_v in_o their_o covenant_n except_o believer_n enter_v into_o their_o covenant_n they_o shall_v have_v no_o commons_o with_o they_o at_o the_o lord_n table_n neither_o shall_v their_o child_n be_v baptize_v by_o they_o but_o their_o warrant_n for_o this_o practice_n we_o desire_v to_o see_v for_o we_o think_v it_o unjust_a and_o impious_a that_o person_n under_o god_n covenant_n of_o grace_n shall_v be_v deprive_v of_o god_n seal_n which_o he_o have_v inseparable_o annex_v unto_o that_o covenant_n and_o moreover_o for_o they_o to_o deny_v baptism_n unto_o child_n of_o baptize_v parent_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n though_o such_o parent_n be_v vicious_a in_o their_o life_n as_o long_o as_o such_o parent_n remain_v within_o the_o church_n and_o be_v orthodox_n all_o in_o the_o faith_n i_o be_o sure_a that_o the_o child_n of_o the_o jew_n who_o parent_n be_v profane_a in_o life_n be_v not_o keep_v back_o from_o the_o sacrament_n of_o circumcision_n for_o that_o cause_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o that_o covenant_n be_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o not_o of_o work_n there_o be_v two_o covenant_n that_o god_n have_v make_v with_o man_n viz._n the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o these_o covenant_n there_o be_v two_o head_n namely_o the_o first_o adam_n and_o the_o second_o adam_n with_o the_o first_o adam_n god_n do_v strike_v a_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o adam_n the_o head_n of_o this_o body_n in_o covenant_n do_v transgress_v and_o so_o destroy_v the_o covenant_n and_o thereby_o deprive_v himself_o and_o all_o his_o member_n of_o the_o privilege_n thereof_o and_o so_o death_n enter_v upon_o all_o m●n_z in_o that_o all_o have_v sin_v in_o their_o head_n with_o the_o second_o adam_n viz._n christ_n god_n do_v strike_v a_o

deprive_v of_o the_o privilege_n of_o this_o covenant_n for_o the_o default_n of_o immediate_a parent_n now_o for_o th●se_a man_n in_o this_o way_n as_o they_o say_v of_o new-england_n to_o put_v a_o stop_n unto_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n in_o deny_v baptism_n unto_o child_n of_o baptize_v parent_n i_o see_v no_o warrant_n for_o first_o this_o practice_n destroy_v the_o nature_n of_o this_o covenant_n for_o the_o parent_n by_o their_o miscarriage_n have_v break_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n but_o not_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n this_o remain_v entire_a in_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o

of_o the_o covenant_n under_o which_o they_o be_v bear_v they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o covenant_n this_o practice_n than_o be_v a_o presumption_n of_o a_o high_a nature_n than_o these_o man_n be_v aware_a off_o and_o albeit_o their_o intent_n be_v a_o reformation_n yet_o the_o mean_n be_v diabolical_a second_o this_o practice_n do_v virtual_o accuse_v christ_n the_o head_n as_o a_o

privilege_n whereof_o under_o the_o gospel_n baptism_n be_v the_o first_o and_o the_o vicious_a carriage_n of_o immediate_a parent_n can_v no_o more_o exclude_v a_o child_n from_o baptism_n now_o than_o can_v former_o the_o vicious_a carriage_n of_o jewish_a parent_n exclude_v their_o child_n from_o the_o privilege_n of_o circumcision_n now_o some_o to_o evade_v this_o say_v that_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v a_o nationall_n church_n but_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v not_o so_o but_o this_o be_v but_o a_o mere_a shift_n to_o evade_v what_o they_o can_v answer_v for_o

even_o when_o and_o while_o they_o be_v a_o family-church_n but_o to_o the_o point_n i_o say_v that_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v a_o nationall_n church_n in_o some_o thing_n after_o a_o peculiar_a manner_n as_o first_o god_n have_v tie_v himself_o to_o remain_v with_o that_o nation_n by_o his_o ordinance_n of_o grace_n until_o shiloh_n come_v second_o that_o nation_n be_v once_o a_o

not_o tie_v himself_o to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n for_o any_o set_a term_n of_o time_n nor_o be_v there_o by_o divine_a appointment_n any_o set_a place_n of_o worship_n for_o the_o whole_a nation_n to_o meet_v in_o once_o a_o year_n about_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n but_o three_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v a_o nationall_n church_n because_o the_o whole_a nation_n have_v receive_v the_o doctrine_n and_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n i_o hope_v england_n be_v a_o nationall_n church_n and_o if_o in_o this_o sense_n the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v a_o nationall_n church_n that_o be_v as_o much_o as_o i_o require_v but_o sure_o these_o man_n have_v some_o other_o meaning_n when_o they_o say_v that_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v a_o nationall_n church_n and_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v not_o than_o as_o yet_o they_o dare_v to_o utter_v though_o among_o they_o you_o shall_v seldom_o find_v a_o man_n tongue-tied_a their_o

because_o of_o that_o nation_n but_o because_o of_o god_n covenant_n with_o that_o nation_n and_o so_o our_o child_n be_v not_o to_o be_v baptize_v because_o of_o such_o a_o nation_n but_o because_o of_o god_n covenant_n with_o such_o a_o nation_n and_o the_o child_n of_o all_o baptize_v parent_n be_v bear_v under_o god_n covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o whether_o their_o parent_n be_v vicious_a or_o religious_a in_o life_n the_o child_n title_n stand_v good_a to_o the_o covenant_n the_o religious_a life_n of_o his_o parent_n be_v work_n do_v not_o entitle_v he_o to_o the_o covenant_n and_o

the_o loin_n of_o vicious_a parent_n and_o often_o do_v whereas_o godly_a parent_n may_v have_v reprobate_n to_o their_o child_n if_o then_o these_o man_n have_v any_o thing_n to_o object_n against_o

what_o misery_n be_v this_o all_o the_o able_a minister_n in_o the_o land_n be_v of_o my_o judgement_n about_o this_o point_n of_o paedobaptism_n that_o the_o prophecy_n of_o clem._n writer_n the_o
