in_o 72._o pag._n 71_o &_o 72._o reality_n they_o partake_v not_o any_o way_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o redemption_n and_o so_o die_v in_o adam_n they_o have_v no_o part_n in_o jesus_n christ_n the_o only_a pronounce_v of_o this_o sentence_n against_o the_o infant_n of_o believer_n cause_n a_o kind_n of_o horror_n mingle_v with_o a_o tender_a and_o just_a compassion_n for_o these_o poor_a

cause_v to_o be_v slay_v and_o celebrate_v a_o feast_n unto_o their_o memory_n now_o this_o very_a sense_n of_o horror_n and_o pity_n which_o such_o condemnation_n itself_o excite_v in_o our_o

be_v well_o content_v that_o the_o faith_n of_o godfather_n and_o godmother_n and_o of_o the_o church_n shall_v supply_v the_o want_n of_o faith_n in_o infant_n even_o then_o when_o they_o receive_v
