that_o have_v not_o a_o foundation_n in_o the_o word_n nor_o to_o reject_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v offer_v against_o my_o present_a opinion_n can_v i_o see_v it_o be_v bottom_v on_o the_o word_n

to_o have_v offer_v argument_n that_o have_v four_o time_n more_o weight_n and_o substance_n than_o those_o have_v that_o be_v offer_v by_o we_o i_o mean_v for_o clear_v the_o point_n of_o the_o

with_o you_o have_v we_o not_o have_v truth_n on_o our_o side_n your_o ability_n will_v soon_o have_v overturn_v i_o the_o doctor_n i_o think_v may_v be_v able_a to_o cope_v with_o any_o of_o you_o in_o that_o respect_n but_o if_o you_o can_v offer_v four_o time_n more_o for_o our_o cause_n than_o we_o do_v i_o wonder_v your_o own_o argument_n shall_v not_o be_v convince_a to_o you_o though_o we_o be_v not_o and_o can_v we_o have_v that_o fourfold_a strength_n add_v to_o our_o argument_n i_o believe_v you_o will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o answer_v one_o of_o they_o for_o so_o weak_a as_o our_o argument_n be_v you_o do_v not_o otherwise_o answer_v they_o but_o by_o deny_v a_o part_n which_o be_v a_o easy_a way_n of_o answer_v the_o strong_a argument_n that_o can_v be_v offer_v and_o if_o you_o can_v have_v offer_v ten_o time_n more_o for_o your_o own_o cause_n why_o have_v you_o not_o do_v it_o you_o may_v have_v have_v the_o opponency_n soon_o turn_v upon_o you_o when_o the_o doctor_n give_v you_o a_o argument_n contain_v a_o universal_a negative_a and_o as_o i_o do_v since_o understand_v you_o ought_v to_o have_v accept_v it_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o

know_v nothing_o that_o be_v more_o contrary_a to_o natural_a reason_n have_v there_o be_v either_o precept_n or_o precedent_n for_o infant-baptism_n on_o record_n than_o it_o have_v be_v possible_a for_o you_o or_o some_o body_n else_o to_o have_v produce_v it_o and_o have_v you_o do_v it_o his_o argument_n have_v be_v go_v and_o you_o have_v gain_v the_o cause_n but_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o a_o man_n to_o prove_v that_o neither_o you_o nor_o any_o one_o else_o can_v produce_v such_o a_o record_n otherwise_o than_o to_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v any_o such_o record_n to_o be_v produce_v if_o this_o be_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o disputation_n i_o look_v on_o it_o as_o a_o effectual_a way_n to_o keep_v people_n in_o ignorance_n i_o suppose_v that_o if_o you_o can_v have_v produce_v a_o record_n either_o of_o precept_n or_o precedent_n for_o infant-baptism_n you_o will_v not_o be_v tie_v so_o close_o to_o the_o rule_n of_o disputation_n as_o not_o to_o have_v bring_v it_o to_o light_n whatever_o you_o can_v have_v say_v i_o know_v not_o you_o know_v you_o do_v not_o give_v we_o a_o instance_n for_o infant-baptism_n though_o it_o be_v often_o desire_v and_o that_o with_o great_a importunity_n and_o must_v we_o still_o look_v on_o infant-baptism_n to_o be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n a_o part_n of_o divine_a worship_n that_o have_v neither_o precept_n nor_o precedent_n for_o its_o practice_n but_o sir_n if_o you_o can_v say_v ten_o time_n more_o for_o your_o practice_n than_o you_o do_v it_o be_v not_o too_o late_o to_o offer_v it_o yet_o and_o

sir_n when_o i_o consider_v what_o be_v offer_v by_o we_o and_o deny_v by_o you_o and_o with_o what_o prop_n your_o own_o argument_n be_v support_v be_v man_n of_o such_o part_n and_o piety_n as_o

like_a traditional_a bottom_n i_o be_o real_o grieve_v and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o my_o set_a pen_n to_o paper_n first_o when_o i_o consider_v what_o be_v offer_v by_o we_o and_o deny_v by_o you_o i_o can_v repeat_v my_o own_o argument_n better_a than_o i_o can_v the_o doctor_n be_v and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v confine_v myself_o to_o they_o you_o know_v you_o press_v we_o to_o allow_v of_o consequence_n right_o draw_v from_o the_o word_n the_o doctor_n tell_v you_o you_o shall_v give_v it_o which_o way_n you_o can_v but_o do_v you_o not_o deny_v almost_o if_o not_o all_o the_o consequence_n that_o be_v offer_v by_o i_o to_o prove_v that_o infant_n be_v not_o the_o subject_n of_o baptism_n according_a to_o the_o commission_n a_o negative_a task_n that_o we_o be_v put_v upon_o which_o can_v not_o otherwise_o be_v prove_v but_o by_o consequence_n to_o repeat_v some_o of_o my_o argument_n and_o i_o need_v repeat_v but_o the_o major_a for_o the_o most_o part_n my_o first_o argument_n be_v this_o that_o if_o believer_n be_v the_o only_a subject_n of_o baptism_n according_a to_o the_o commission_n than_o infant_n be_v not_o here_o you_o deny_v the_o sequel_n but_o if_o the_o antecedent_n be_v true_a the_o consequent_a be_v true_a and_o right_o draw_v from_o the_o text._n there_o be_v none_o put_v into_o the_o commission_n as_o the_o subject_n of_o baptism_n but_o believer_n mark_v the_o 16_o and_o 17_o you_o do_v
not_o deny_v the_o antecedent_n how_o then_o can_v you_o deny_v the_o consequent_a my_o second_o argument_n be_v this_o that_o if_o infant_n be_v incapable_a of_o believe_v than_o they_o be_v not_o the_o subject_n of_o baptism_n according_a to_o the_o commission_n but_o they_o be_v so_o here_o you_o deny_v the_o minor_a which_o i_o wonder_v at_o that_o you_o shall_v be_v of_o the_o judgement_n that_o infant_n be_v capable_a of_o believe_v yea_o your_o deny_v the_o minor_a speak_v as_o much_o my_o three_o argument_n be_v if_o the_o essence_n of_o faith_n consist_v in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o understanding_n and_o of_o the_o will_n than_o infant_n be_v incapable_a of_o believe_v here_o you_o deny_v the_o sequel_n you_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o the_o essence_n of_o faith_n consist_v in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o understanding_n and_o of_o the_o will_n and_o if_o you_o have_v it_o will_v have_v be_v prove_v but_o how_o can_v you_o deny_v the_o sequel_n be_v infant_n capable_a of_o apprehend_v christ_n in_o his_o nature_n and_o in_o his_o office_n for_o so_o he_o must_v be_v apprehend_v as_o the_o object_n of_o faith_n be_v infant_n capable_a of_o consent_v christ_n to_o be_v they_o and_o they_o christ_n in_o all_o his_o office_n which_o be_v the_o act_n of_o the_o will_n that_o follow_v the_o act_n of_o the_o understanding_n can_v infant_n make_v a_o resignation_n of_o themselves_o to_o christ_n to_o be_v teach_v by_o he_o and_o save_v by_o he_o and_o rule_v and_o govern_v by_o he_o can_v you_o prove_v by_o the_o word_n that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o capacity_n in_o infant_n or_o that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o capacity_n in_o the_o child_n of_o believer_n consider_v as_o such_o and_o not_o in_o the_o child_n of_o unbeliever_n my_o four_o argument_n be_v that_o if_o none_o can_v believe_v on_o jesus_n christ_n that_o never_o hear_v of_o jesus_n christ_n than_o infant_n be_v incapable_a of_o believe_v here_o again_o you_o deny_v the_o sequel_n you_o know_v there_o be_v scripture_n enough_o to_o prove_v the_o antecedent_n in_o every_o proposition_n and_o the_o consequent_a be_v right_o draw_v 〈◊〉_d so_o that_o you_o have_v no_o more_o ground_n to_o deny_v the_o consequent_a than_o you_o have_v to_o deny_v the_o antecedent_n yet_o you_o deny_v they_o all_o and_o thus_o you_o may_v have_v run_v i_o up_o ad_fw-la infinitum_fw-la by_o a_o continual_a deny_v without_o render_v any_o reason_n for_o what_o you_o do_v or_o discover_v any_o fallacy_n in_o any_o one_o of_o my_o argument_n the_o argument_n you_o offer_v yourself_o be_v judge_v by_o some_o to_o have_v little_a weight_n in_o they_o and_o that_o by_o pedobaptist_n as_o well_o as_o other_o your_o first_o be_v that_o if_o child_n be_v church-member_n than_o they_o have_v

church-member_n de_fw-fr jure_fw-la for_o by_o the_o law_n they_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v cast_v out_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o produce_v that_o law_n but_o you_o can_v not_o do_v it_o and_o now_o sir_n i_o will_v offer_v you_o two_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o then_o mention_v first_o suppose_v a_o grant_n that_o by_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v mean_v the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n that_o be_v then_o a_o national_a church_n yet_o your_o argument_n be_v impertinent_a this_o be_v before_o the_o commission_n be_v give_v out_o at_o which_o time_n it_o be_v grant_v that_o child_n be_v church-member_n but_o if_o you_o will_v argue_v from_o church-membership_n to_o a_o right_a to_o baptism_n you_o must_v prove_v that_o they_o be_v now_o church-member_n under_o the_o new_a

the_o judgement_n of_o charity_n be_v inherent_o holy_a and_o the_o form_n mutual_a consent_n and_o agreement_n and_o that_o church-membership_n be_v put_v into_o the_o commission_n to_o be_v the_o

when_o child_n be_v church-member_n church_n membership_n be_v not_o the_o ground_n of_o baptism_n christ_n and_o john_n never_o baptize_v church-member_n consider_v as_o such_o but_o first_o make_v

to_o be_v baptize_v not_o have_v learned_a jesus_n christ_n second_o do_v the_o parent_n dedicate_v their_o child_n to_o be_v teach_v while_n infant_n when_o they_o desire_v you_o to_o baptize_v

by_o the_o ministry_n of_o man_n and_o that_o before_o they_o have_v the_o use_n and_o exercise_v of_o reason_n for_o they_o know_v his_o argument_n be_v this_o if_o infant_n be_v capable_a to_o be_v
