for_o baptise_v of_o child_n i_o answer_v it_o say_v oft_o time_n that_o whole_a household_n be_v baptize_v without_o any_o exception_n of_o child_n and_o we_o have_v small_a reason_n to_o think_v that_o believer_n shall_v be_v barren_a more_o than_o other_o the_o name_n of_o whole_a household_n without_o any_o exception_n show_v plain_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n never_o intend_v to_o exclude_v child_n if_o he_o have_v ever_o intend_v any_o such_o thing_n than_o doubtless_o will_v he_o have_v give_v some_o little_a touch_n or_o tittle_n to_o that_o purpose_n which_o he_o have_v never_o do_v and_o to_o set_v down_o in_o plain_a word_n particular_o that_o child_n be_v or_o may_v be_v baptize_v there_o be_v then_o no_o need_n because_o there_o be_v none_o in_o those_o day_n that_o question_v it_o as_o there_o may_v well_o and_o will_v doubtless_o have_v be_v if_o the_o apostle_n have_v not_o baptize_v any_o but_o refuse_v they_o if_o it_o may_v be_v conclude_v that_o there_o be_v no_o child_n in_o those_o mention_a family_n as_o we_o have_v small_a reason_n to_o think_v that_o christian_n believer_n shall_v be_v more_o barren_a than_o infidel_n yet_o no_o doubt_n in_o all_o the_o apostle_n time_n some_o child_n be_v offer_v as_o we_o see_v some_o be_v bring_v to_o christ_n and_o not_o refuse_v of_o he_o which_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v once_o reject_v the_o jew_n especial_o will_v have_v take_v exception_n against_o they_o as_o well_o they_o may_v and_o have_v inquire_v what_o shall_v be_v the_o reason_n thereof_o and_o also_o have_v demand_v why_o child_n may_v not_o aswell_o be_v baptize_v as_o before_o they_o be_v circumcise_v and_o the_o apostle_n will_v have_v give_v they_o answer_v and_o so_o by_o that_o mean_v your_o question_n have_v be_v dissolve_v long_o ago_o but_o because_o there_o be_v not_o then_o in_o their_o day_n any_o such_o questioner_n nor_o any_o cause_n of_o any_o such_o question_n by_o they_o give_v therefore_o they_o take_v no_o care_n either_o to_o set_v down_o in_o particular_a that_o child_n be_v or_o may_v be_v baptize_v nor_o yet_o to_o show_v any_o one_o the_o least_o exception_n against_o it_o for_o they_o know_v it_o be_v not_o a_o matter_n of_o such_o consequence_n as_o you_o imagine_v if_o they_o have_v either_o see_v or_o foresee_v any_o such_o dangerous_a evil_n as_o you_o conceive_v you_o see_v in_o it_o as_o that_o it_o be_v or_o will_v be_v the_o mark_n of_o the_o beast_n which_o the_o spirit_n speak_v of_o they_o will_v certain_o have_v foretell_v and_o forewarn_v the_o church_n of_o it_o as_o they_o have_v do_v of_o other_o thing_n which_o in_o your_o sight_n be_v of_o less_o moment_n that_o so_o either_o it_o may_v not_o have_v take_v such_o great_a place_n as_o it_o have_v or_o else_o at_o least_o that_o the_o people_n of_o god_n may_v without_o so_o great_a difficulty_n have_v see_v what_o a_o dangerous_a evil_n it_o be_v or_o will_v come_v to_o and_o with_o

a_o plain_a word_n either_o by_o some_o precept_n or_o example_n express_v for_o the_o proof_n of_o whatsoever_o may_v be_v practise_v among_o christian_n then_o where_o find_v we_o any_o where_o write_v that_o woman_n in_o particular_a may_v partake_v in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o supper_n though_o doubtless_o it_o may_v be_v sound_o prove_v by_o argument_n from_o scripture_n that_o woman_n may_v partake_v therein_o as_o we_o have_v already_o prove_v child_n may_v be_v baptize_v rest_n if_o i_o shall_v now_o demand_v of_o you_o your_o warrant_n for_o a_o man_n to_o baptize_v himself_o i_o much_o marvel_n where_o you_o will_v find_v such_o a_o practice_n in_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n of_o christ_n i_o be_o sure_a it_o will_v be_v a_o task_n too_o hard_o for_o you_o to_o find_v well_o to_o let_v pass_v those_o thing_n we_o will_v now_o go_v on_o when_o the_o apostle_n peter_n speak_v of_o the_o baptism_n which_o save_v lest_o any_o shall_v mistake_v he_o what_o baptism_n he_o mean_v he_o say_v not_o the_o do_v away_o of_o the_o filth_n of_o the_o flesh_n so_o if_o any_o of_o the_o apostle_n or_o penman_n of_o the_o scripture_n when_o they_o do_v set_v down_o that_o whole_a household_n be_v baptize_v or_o at_o any_o other_o time_n have_v but_o say_v except_o young_a child_n it_o have_v be_v enough_o and_o if_o they_o have_v so_o say_v what_o occasion_n may_v the_o jew_n have_v take_v to_o except_v and_o object_v against_o it_o may_v they_o not_o have_v reason_v against_o it_o thus_o do_v christ_n the_o messenger_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o peace_n and_o preacher_n of_o good_a tiding_n deal_v more_o hardly_o now_o in_o this_o time_n of_o the_o plenty_n of_o grace_n than_o he_o do_v before_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n may_v child_n then_o be_v admit_v by_o circumcision_n into_o the_o congregation_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o may_v they_o not_o now_o by_o baptism_n they_o be_v former_o call_v jew_n and_o count_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n in_o who_o a_o blessing_n by_o promise_n be_v to_o be_v expect_v as_o namely_o that_o god_n will_v call_v a_o seed_n out_o of_o that_o stock_n or_o seed_n which_o shall_v inherit_v his_o covenant_n whereof_o circumcision_n be_v a_o sign_n unto_o they_o and_o may_v they_o not_o now_o be_v allow_v the_o name_n of_o a_o christian_a through_o baptism_n they_o be_v the_o same_o that_o they_o be_v then_o and_o why_o shall_v not_o christ_n in_o who_o the_o blessing_n and_o promise_n rest_v be_v the_o same_o thus_o they_o may_v have_v argue_v if_o it_o have_v be_v so_o if_o the_o case_n be_v now_o so_o alter_v as_o touch_v child_n if_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o same_o that_o he_o then_o be_v but_o it_o be_v otherwise_o and_o christ_n be_v the_o same_o yea_o and_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o large_a bounty_n and_o plenty_n of_o grace_n which_o he_o have_v now_o vouchsafe_v he_o be_v more_o than_o the_o same_o therefore_o let_v not_o child_n be_v deny_v that_o which_o belong_v unto_o they_o christ_n be_v much_o displease_v with_o those_o disciple_n that_o rebuke_v they_o that_o bring_v little_a child_n unto_o he_o that_o he_o shall_v touch_v they_o and_o say_v suffer_v little_a child_n to_o come_v unto_o i_o 15._o and_o forbid_v they_o not_o for_o of_o such_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o whosoever_o shall_v not_o receive_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n as_o a_o little_a child_n he_o shall_v not_o enter_v therein_o and_o the_o text_n say_v he_o take_v they_o up_o in_o his_o arm_n and_o lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o they_o and_o bless_v they_o whence_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o little_a child_n ought_v by_o no_o mean_n to_o be_v deny_v baptism_n because_o they_o be_v such_o true_a similitude_n of_o regeneration_n of_o which_o baptism_n be_v a_o sign_n and_o see_v also_o christ_n make_v it_o a_o argument_n against_o those_o that_o will_v have_v hinder_v they_o to_o be_v bring_v unto_o he_o say_v for_o of_o such_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n so_o that_o it_o may_v be_v as_o right_o say_v suffer_v little_a child_n to_o come_v to_o baptism_n and_o forbid_v they_o not_o for_o of_o such_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n of_o such_o as_o be_v convert_v and_o be_v become_v like_o unto_o little_a child_n do_v the_o church_n of_o god_n consist_v whereas_o they_o further_o affirm_v that_o infant_n baptism_n

of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v a_o antichristian_a ministry_n whereof_o infant_n baptism_n be_v one_o be_v none_o of_o god_n ordinance_n but_o a_o mark_n of_o the_o beast_n from_o which_o
