all_o my_o first_o answer_n to_o this_o objection_n be_v i_o will_v see_v a_o proof_n that_o the_o priest_n do_v debar_v many_o from_o the_o passeover_n for_o moral_a uncleanness_n many_o year_n as_o we_o do_v from_o the_o supper_n and_o yet_o have_v their_o child_n circumcise_v to_o this_o you_o answer_v the_o priest_n be_v blame_v for_o admit_v the_o moral_o unclean_a to_o some_o ordinance_n but_o it_o concern_v he_o to_o prove_v where_o ever_o they_o be_v blame_v for_o circumcise_n the_o child_n of_o such_o 44._o ezek._n 9_o to_o which_o i_o say_v 1._o that_o text_n speak_v of_o the_o time_n under_o the_o gospel_n and_o it_o can_v be_v accomplish_v under_o the_o old_a testament_n as_o our_o annotation_n make_v it_o clear_a it_o speak_v of_o a_o time_n when_o circumcision_n be_v out_o of_o date_n 2._o circumcision_n be_v never_o commit_v to_o the_o priest_n as_o now_o baptism_n to_o the_o minister_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o blame_n to_o they_o due_a for_o that_o point_n 3._o since_o it_o respect_v the_o gospel_n it_o concern_v those_o who_o practise_v so_o as_o if_o by_o sanctuary_n be_v mean_v only_o the_o lord_n supper_n to_o prove_v that_o there_o where_o the_o priest_n be_v blame_v for_o bring_v into_o the_o sanctuary_n such_o person_n he_o mean_v only_a admission_n to_o the_o lord_n supper_n those_o who_o interpret_v must_v prove_v it_o shall_v seem_v very_o fair_a that_o sauctuary_n be_v more_o than_o lord_n supper_n i_o suppose_v those_o who_o be_v bring_v into_o the_o sanctuary_n may_v come_v to_o the_o passeover_n in_o old_a time_n your_o second_o answer_n be_v you_o question_v the_o practice_n of_o our_o minister_n whether_o it_o can_v be_v justify_v i_o see_v you_o be_v pinch_v but_o no_o doubt_n their_o keep_n of_o that_o holy_a ordinance_n be_v justifiable_a enough_o my_o second_o answer_n be_v i_o conceive_v some_o thing_n be_v peculiar_a to_o that_o church_n in_o that_o ordinance_n and_o so_o conceive_v still_o i_o shall_v add_v something_o more_o 1._o in_o that_o there_o be_v no_o minister_n separate_v by_o god_n to_o the_o dispense_n of_o it_o as_o be_v now_o of_o baptism_n but_o parent_n master_n judge_n man_n or_o

to_o his_o seed_n as_o such_o the_o ground_n indeed_o of_o god_n give_v of_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n at_o first_o be_v because_o of_o that_o covenant_n god_n be_v in_o with_o abraham_n

put_v into_o the_o question_n and_o afterward_o the_o same_o page_n when_o mr._n hooker_n show_v why_o he_o incline_v to_o the_o negative_a be_v move_v thereto_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o

of_o grandfather_n or_o adoption_n if_o he_o can_v make_v it_o out_o that_o they_o may_v be_v so_o yet_o if_o such_o a_o grandfather_n or_o person_n who_o adopt_v be_v confederate_a and_o walk_v in_o
