of_o the_o people_n if_o you_o consider_v david_n as_o a_o general_a father_n to_o all_o the_o people_n they_o part_v of_o he_o as_o he_o be_v king_n as_o be_v part_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o such_o a_o answer_n if_o i_o have_v not_o other_o to_o give_v shall_v i_o give_v to_o a_o anabaptist_n that_o ask_v i_o why_o i_o baptize_v my_o child_n i_o shall_v answer_v he_o be_v part_n of_o myself_o and_o so_o it_o be_v fit_a he_o be_v baptize_v because_o i_o be_o otherwise_o all_o of_o myself_o be_v not_o baptize_v and_o this_o give_v some_o reason_n of_o what_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o the_o child_n of_o a_o believe_a father_n or_o mother_n be_v holy_a that_o be_v be_v a_o christian_n for_o the_o believe_a parent_n sake_n because_o he_o be_v part_n of_o that_o parent_n second_o there_o be_v some_o punishment_n that_o descend_v as_o i_o may_v say_v natural_o from_o parent_n to_o child_n nay_o i_o may_v say_v some_o sin_n that_o descend_v so_o natural_o that_o god_n shall_v invert_v the_o very_a course_n of_o nature_n if_o they_o stick_v not_o to_o the_o child_n original_a sin_n and_o guilt_n we_o derive_v not_o from_o our_o immediate_a parent_n but_o from_o our_o

his_o come_n to_o fearful_a wickedness_n and_o very_o oft_o to_o a_o fearful_a end_n elias_n lenity_n to_o his_o wretched_a son_n in_o not_o restrain_v they_o and_o so_o david_n to_o adonijah_n do_v

sinful_a many_o a_o parent_n be_v guilty_a of_o this_o and_o yet_o little_a consider_v it_o when_o their_o child_n prove_v debauch_v wild_a riotous_a they_o it_o may_v be_v will_v fret_v to_o see_v their_o expensive_a and_o destructive_a course_n but_o let_v they_o reflect_v upon_o themselves_o and_o consider_v whether_o their_o child_n derive_v not_o that_o wickedness_n either_o from_o their_o
