wherein_o it_o be_v minister_v to_o any_o as_o neither_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o simple_a word_n the_o seed_n lie_v so_o long_o hide_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o hearer_n till_o that_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o faith_n wrought_v sometime_o late_a and_o sometime_o flower_n show_v itself_o it_o fructifi_v 112._o question_n baptism_n therefore_o do_v not_o abolish_v only_a sin_n past_a answer_n yea_o rather_o the_o fruit_n of_o baptism_n be_v spread_v forth_o through_o out_o the_o whole_a life_n of_o believer_n for_o that_o same_o gross_a error_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o many_o defer_v baptism_n until_o death_n which_o be_v a_o great_a wonder_n that_o it_o be_v not_o more_o vehement_o handle_v of_o learned_a bishop_n 113._o question_n do_v thou_o not_o think_v that_o original_a sin_n be_v take_v away_o by_o baptism_n answer_n sure_o i_o think_v that_o it_o be_v take_v away_o concern_v the_o guiltiness_n so_o that_o faith_n be_v present_a but_o the_o vice_n itself_o although_o it_o die_v by_o little_a and_o little_a in_o the_o believer_n yet_o notwithstanding_o in_o deed_n remain_v and_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v sin_n and_o be_v so_o call_v because_o whatsoever_o resist_v the_o will_n and_o spirit_n of_o god_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v vicious_a 114._o question_n but_o be_v this_o same_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n a_o instrument_n altogether_o and_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o obtain_v salvation_n in_o christ_n answer_n no_o not_o so_o question_n and_o yet_o not_o only_o the_o late_a writer_n but_o also_o many_o ancient_a father_n have_v think_v it_o so_o far_o forth_o at_o the_o least_o necessary_a that_o they_o have_v esteem_v those_o destitute_v of_o the_o light_n of_o the_o life_n of_o heaven_n which_o be_v not_o lighten_v with_o that_o same_o outward_a baptism_n of_o the_o church_n answer_n concern_v this_o opinion_n from_o whence_o flow_v that_o same_o shameful_a error_n of_o the_o clinic_n and_o baptism_n of_o midwife_n we_o shall_v see_v afterwards_o now_o i_o say_v that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n be_v thus_o far_o necessary_a that_o he_o that_o neglect_v it_o do_v also_o depryve_v himself_o as_o much_o as_o be_v in_o he_o of_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n the_o which_o sin_n notwithstanding_o as_o all_o other_o may_v be_v take_v away_o by_o true_a repentance_n but_o that_o he_o can_v not_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o contemner_n of_o baptism_n who_o through_o no_o negligence_n of_o he_o much_o less_o fault_n do_v not_o obtain_v baptism_n in_o that_o order_n which_o be_v institute_v in_o the_o church_n 115._o question_n but_o do_v thou_o think_v that_o the_o baptism_n administer_v by_o john_n and_o afterwards_o of_o the_o apostle_n by_o the_o commandment_n of_o christ_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o answer_n i_o will_v wil_o that_o this_o question_n be_v omit_v as_o at_o this_o day_n unprofitable_a notwithstanding_o because_o it_o make_v for_o the_o clear_a interpretation_n of_o certain_a place_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o from_o thence_o the_o anabaptist_n seek_v somewhat_o whereunder_o to_o shroud_v their_o pestilent_a opinion_n i_o refuse_v not_o also_o somewhat_o to_o entreat_v of_o this_o thing_n when_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o confutation_n of_o the_o contrary_a opinion_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o say_v that_o in_o very_a deed_n the_o baptism_n first_o minister_v of_o john_n and_o afterward_o by_o the_o commandment_n of_o christ_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o albeit_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v so_o much_o more_o plentiful_o perform_v in_o that_o apostolical_a baptism_n then_o in_o that_o of_o johns_n as_o the_o doctrine_n be_v more_o plain_a of_o the_o apostle_n than_o the_o doctrine_n of_o john_n and_o yet_o in_o very_a deed_n the_o same_o 116._o question_n now_o i_o will_v have_v certain_a question_n pertain_v unto_o this_o matter_n distinct_o set_v forth_o unto_o i_o and_o first_o who_o thou_o think_v fit_a to_o be_v baptize_v fot_o there_o be_v who_o think_v that_o all_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v without_o difference_n so_o they_o resist_v it_o not_o answer_n this_o foul_a error_n flow_v out_o of_o two_o fountain_n for_o they_o think_v that_o the_o begin_n of_o our_o salvation_n be_v from_o baptism_n and_o further_o that_o baptism_n save_v we_o even_o by_o the_o work_n wrought_v as_o they_o speak_v 117._o question_n other_o think_v that_o those_o only_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v that_o be_v of_o year_n of_o discretion_n and_o be_v indeed_o such_o as_o make_v confession_n of_o a_o true_a faith_n by_o the_o example_n of_o the_o eunuch_n act_n 8._o 37._o answer_n the_o error_n of_o these_o man_n spring_v from_o thence_o that_o they_o think_v baptism_n to_o be_v minister_v in_o vain_a unless_o faith_n present_o go_v before_o baptism_n question_n what_o have_v thou_o not_o say_v before_o that_o the_o thing_n signify_v in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v lay_v hold_v upon_o by_o the_o only_a hand_n of_o faith_n answer_n so_o it_o be_v but_o that_o faith_n may_v follow_v the_o sacrament_n yea_o though_o it_o be_v minister_v many_o year_n before_o be_v no_o more_o absurd_a then_o if_o i_o shall_v say_v that_o which_o we_o think_v also_o we_o prove_v daily_o to_o wit_n that_o it_o oftentimes_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v contemn_v when_o they_o be_v speak_v unto_o we_o that_o be_v mark_v they_o begin_v to_o profit_v we_o yea_o many_o year_n after_o and_o sometime_o in_o the_o very_a last_o breath_n of_o our_o life_n 118._o question_n who_o then_o think_v thou_o meet_v to_o be_v baptize_v answer_n all_o they_o who_o can_v right_o show_v the_o conveyance_n of_o the_o covenaunt_n for_o the_o seal_v whereof_o baptism_n be_v institute_v 119._o question_n but_o who_o do_v right_o show_v they_o answer_n they_o who_o if_o they_o be_v grow_v in_o year_n testify_v their_o consent_n question_n will_v thou_o not_o then_o admit_v any_o of_o year_n of_o discretion_n unless_o they_o plain_o profess_v a_o right_a faith_n answer_n none_o in_o deed_n for_o what_o else_o shall_v i_o probable_o believe_v that_o i_o can_v seal_v in_o they_o 120._o question_n to_o what_o end_n then_o will_v thou_o admit_v child_n answer_n neither_o will_v i_o admit_v all_o infant_n for_o neither_o will_v i_o receive_v the_o child_n of_o the_o turk_n nor_o of_o the_o jew_n question_n why_o so_o answer_n because_o they_o be_v not_o comprehend_v in_o the_o table_n of_o the_o covenant_n question_n but_o they_o may_v be_v instruct_v in_o christianity_n answer_n why_o let_v they_o be_v instruct_v or_o become_v catechiste_n and_o then_o at_o length_n let_v they_o be_v baptize_v 121._o question_n i_o can_v easy_o grant_v this_o unto_o thou_o concern_v the_o turk_n child_n and_o the_o child_n of_o all_o those_o which_o be_v never_o comprehend_v in_o the_o covenaunt_n but_o will_v thou_o reckon_v the_o jew_n with_o these_o answer_n yea_o but_o after_o a_o unlike_a manner_n for_o they_o indeed_o be_v never_o comprehend_v in_o the_o covenaunt_n but_o now_o the_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n retect_v the_o mediator_n be_v fall_v from_o the_o covenaunt_n the_o gentile_n be_v engraft_v in_o their_o place_n 122._o question_n but_o be_v it_o sufficient_a as_o thou_o think_v to_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o faithful_a that_o none_o be_v reject_v and_o put_v off_o from_o baptism_n answer_n so_o i_o think_v for_o the_o word_n of_o the_o covenaunt_n be_v plain_a i_o will_v be_v thy_o god_n 7._o gen._n 17._o 7._o and_o the_o god_n of_o thy_o seed_n now_o by_o the_o name_n of_o seed_n the_o

comprehension_n in_o the_o covenaunt_n whereby_o those_o that_o be_v holy_a be_v discern_v from_o those_o that_o be_v profane_a 123._o question_n but_o the_o example_n of_o esau_n do_v declare_v and_o also_o daily_a experience_n do_v confirm_v it_o that_o many_o beget_v also_o even_o of_o those_o that_o be_v most_o holy_a do_v nothing_o at_o all_o belong_v unto_o the_o covenaunt_n answer_n many_o also_o of_o those_o that_o be_v grow_v in_o year_n profess_v faith_n with_o their_o mouth_n be_v hypocrite_n but_o those_o same_o particular_a judgement_n be_v to_o be_v leave_v unto_o god_n but_o that_o we_o shall_v general_o hope_v well_o of_o all_o those_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o faithful_a both_o the_o indefinite_a form_n of_o the_o covenaunt_n do_v command_v we_o and_o love_n do_v

good_a will_n of_o god_n for_o that_o indeed_o be_v bring_v to_o pass_v in_o those_o that_o be_v of_o the_o year_n of_o discretion_n their_o faith_n come_v between_o but_o faith_n spring_v from_o that_o same_o decree_n of_o god_n good_a will_n for_o why_o do_v we_o believe_v but_o because_o it_o so_o please_v he_o we_o please_v he_o therefore_o also_o believe_v and_o we_o shall_v not_o indeed_o believe_v unless_o first_o in_o the_o order_n of_o cause_n and_o time_n we_o have_v free_o and_o undescrued_o please_v he_o question_n but_o why_o do_v thou_o add_v in_o those_o that_o be_v of_o the_o year_n of_o discretion_n answer_n because_o there_o be_v another_o respect_n of_o child_n die_v before_o they_o be_v teach_v for_o as_o much_o as_o faith_n after_o the_o ordinary_a manner_n be_v by_o hear_v and_o extraordinary_o by_o the_o only_a inward_a motion_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n of_o which_o the_o one_o can_v agree_v unto_o infant_n by_o no_o place_n of_o scripture_n neither_o can_v thou_o gather_v it_o by_o any_o little_a conjecture_n for_o faith_n whether_o it_o arise_v by_o hear_v or_o extraordinary_o necessary_o presuppose_v knowledge_n of_o the_o free_a promise_n in_o christ_n which_o he_o appli_v unto_o himself_o that_o believe_v which_o by_o no_o manner_n of_o mean_a can_v fall_v out_o and_o agree_v into_o infant_n question_n how_o then_o shall_v we_o think_v that_o infant_n be_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v reckon_v of_o he_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o church_n and_o that_o therefore_o the_o seal_n itself_o of_o the_o covenaunt_n shall_v not_o be_v deny_v unto_o they_o answer_n first_o i_o say_v probable_o that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v think_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n by_o everlasting_a election_n in_o christ_n of_o which_o this_o be_v a_o testimony_n sufficient_a enough_o that_o he_o will_v have_v they_o to_o be_v bear_v of_o godly_a parent_n now_o the_o fitness_n of_o this_o testimony_n leave_v unto_o god_n those_o same_o particular_a secret_a judgement_n do_v appear_v out_o of_o those_o plain_a word_n of_o the_o covenaunt_n i_o will_v be_v thy_o god_n &_o the_o god_n of_o thy_o seed_n whereupon_o also_o the_o apostle_n gather_v that_o even_o they_o be_v holy_a who_o be_v bear_v either_o of_o their_o parent_n be_v a_o believer_n moreover_o they_o please_v god_n also_o in_o the_o person_n of_o their_o godly_a parent_n even_o to_o a_o thousand_o generation_n as_o god_n witness_v in_o the_o law_n 20._o exod._n 20._o 125._o question_n but_o this_o be_v a_o promise_n of_o the_o law_n and_o we_o entreat_v of_o the_o covenaunt_n of_o the_o gospel_n answer_n i_o grant_v it_o but_o thou_o must_v remember_v that_o all_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o law_n in_o christ_n who_o for_o we_o fulfil_v that_o same_o condition_n of_o the_o law_n be_v become_v promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o confirm_v to_o all_o believer_n 126._o question_n but_o thou_o do_v not_o account_v these_o infant_n in_o the_o number_n of_o believer_n whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o no_o place_n be_v leave_v to_o infant_n for_o this_o same_o promise_n of_o the_o law_n answer_n nay_o that_o follow_v not_o for_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o parent_n from_o who_o he_o be_v bear_v do_v come_v between_o question_n will_v thou_o therefore_o have_v child_n save_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o another_o that_o be_v to_o say_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o their_o parent_n answer_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o faith_n of_o other_o and_o the_o prayer_n of_o those_o that_o be_v holy_a do_v profit_v many_o unfaythfull_a to_o mitigate_v their_o punishment_n yea_o also_o the_o conversion_n of_o saul_n teach_v that_o the_o gift_n of_o faith_n may_v be_v so_o obtain_v for_o some_o if_o their_o opinion_n be_v true_a who_o have_v write_v that_o this_o be_v grant_v by_o the_o prayer_n of_o steven_n notwithstanding_o i_o will_v not_o easy_o say_v that_o any_o shall_v be_v save_v by_o a_o other_o man_n faith_n lest_o any_o man_n shall_v so_o take_v i_o as_o if_o i_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o parent_n be_v impute_v to_o infant_n as_o it_o be_v believe_v through_o a_o other_o man_n faith_n which_o in_o very_a deed_n be_v no_o less_o false_a and_o absurd_a then_o if_o i_o shall_v say_v that_o any_o man_n can_v live_v by_o a_o other_o man_n soul_n or_o be_v wise_a by_o a_o other_o man_n wisdom_n but_o certain_o this_o i_o may_v say_v true_o that_o the_o faith_n of_o godly_a parent_n come_v between_o it_o be_v bring_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o infant_n either_o bear_v or_o to_o be_v bear_v be_v holy_a that_o be_v to_o say_v be_v reckon_v in_o the_o covenaunt_n and_o therefore_o be_v save_v whereof_o that_o thou_o may_v doubt_v nothing_o tell_v i_o i_o pray_v thou_o whereupon_o do_v fayth_n lie_v hold_v do_v it_o not_o lay_v hold_n upon_o that_o which_o the_o promise_n contain_v which_o be_v the_o object_n and_o ground_n of_o faith_n itself_o question_n yes_o very_o answer_n therefore_o the_o faith_n of_o godly_a parent_n do_v lay_v hold_n upon_o this_o promise_n 17._o gen._n 17._o i_o will_v be_v thy_o god_n and_o the_o god_n of_o thy_o seed_n both_o for_o themselves_o and_o for_o their_o seed_n now_o this_o promise_n be_v as_o much_o as_o this_o i_o do_v make_v a_o covenant_n of_o salvation_n with_o thou_o and_o with_o thy_o seed_n 127._o question_n therefore_o shall_v all_o be_v save_v that_o be_v bear_v of_o godly_a parent_n answer_n sure_o we_o do_v not_o without_o cause_n presume_v that_o they_o be_v save_v as_o those_o which_o seem_v probable_o to_o be_v comprehend_v in_o the_o

that_o they_o be_v shut_v out_o from_o the_o covenant_n who_o when_o they_o come_v to_o year_n of_o discretion_n shake_v off_o through_o unbelief_n that_o same_o grace_n 128._o question_n but_o when_o thou_o say_v that_o the_o thing_n signify_v in_o baptism_n be_v seal_v by_o faith_n only_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v to_o be_v seal_v in_o infant_n who_o when_o they_o be_v baptize_v be_v not_o replenish_v with_o any_o faith_n in_o deed_n and_o to_o those_o that_o be_v dead_a before_o they_o can_v be_v teach_v the_o faith_n answer_n sure_o we_o do_v baptise_v they_o as_o though_o they_o shall_v overlyve_a other_o now_o that_o which_o i_o have_v speak_v concern_v faith_n belong_v only_o unto_o those_o that_o be_v come_v to_o the_o year_n of_o discretion_n &_o yet_o their_o baptism_n shall_v not_o therefore_o be_v in_o vain_a for_o that_o shall_v be_v ratify_v in_o they_o that_o as_o i_o have_v say_v the_o faith_n of_o the_o godly_a parent_n come_v between_o be_v now_o bestow_v upon_o they_o when_o they_o be_v bear_v to_o wit_n the_o engraffement_n into_o the_o covenaunt_n and_o therefore_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n sin_v and_o final_o the_o whole_a fruit_n of_o baptism_n to_o conclude_v that_o same_o solemn_a name_n by_o the_o commandment_n of_o christ_n of_o the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n can_v be_v in_o vain_a neither_o be_v the_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v conceive_v over_o he_o which_o be_v too_o be_v baptize_v in_o vain_a but_o let_v these_o thing_n be_v subject_a unto_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o church_n for_o neither_o be_o i_o ignorant_a that_o it_o may_v also_o be_v say_v that_o faith_n be_v so_o give_v untoo_o they_o by_o power_n as_o by_o power_n and_o not_o by_o act_n and_o use_v they_o be_v

the_o christian_a faith_n itself_o 129._o question_n forasmuch_o as_o certain_a old_a father_n attribute_v very_o much_o in_o this_o controversy_n to_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o parent_n and_o of_o

augustine_n study_v write_v too_o bonifacius_n too_o excuse_v this_o kind_n of_o vow_v and_o promise_v then_o use_v in_o the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n but_o who_o see_v not_o that_o this_o begin_v
