heir_n of_o heaven_n i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o little_a one_o be_v heir_n to_o heaven_n i_o shall_v not_o deny_v for_o where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n there_o be_v no_o transgression_n and_o where_o there_o be_v no_o transgression_n there_o be_v no_o punishment_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o they_o must_v be_v baptize_v because_o baptism_n and_o repentance_n and_o faith_n be_v to_o break_v off_o sin_n commit_v personal_o that_o those_o person_n may_v be_v heir_n of_o heaven_n and_o so_o that_o ordinance_n proper_o belong_v to_o such_o as_o be_v not_o absolute_a heir_n to_o heaven_n i_o speak_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n but_o to_o such_o as_o be_v penitent_a sinner_n that_o thereby_o they_o may_v be_v make_v heir_n to_o heaven_n but_o of_o this_o you_o may_v see_v more_o at_o large_a in_o my_o other_o treatise_n these_o two_o thing_n take_v notice_n of_o and_o so_o shall_v pass_v the_o first_o be_v that_o i_o do_v not_o conclude_v that_o child_n be_v ever_o the_o better_a or_o near_o to_o heaven_n because_o they_o be_v child_n of_o believer_n neither_o that_o other_o be_v near_o to_o hell_n because_o they_o be_v unbeliever_n child_n and_o second_o i_o do_v not_o believe_v and_o i_o know_v also_o you_o can_v never_o prove_v that_o those_o child_n be_v the_o child_n of_o believe_a parent_n again_o you_o say_v child_n be_v count_v disciple_n from_o exod._n 15_o 5_o 10._o why_o put_v you_o a_o yoke_n on_o the_o disciple_n nick_n meaning_n say_v you_o on_o believer_n and_o their_o child_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o they_o be_v not_o child_n that_o be_v call_v disciple_n but_o brethren_n and_o they_o be_v such_o as_o be_v capable_a to_o be_v deliver_v for_o the_o text_n say_v there_o be_v certain_a that_o come_v and_o teach_v the_o brethren_n nonage_n it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o any_o of_o those_o that_o be_v call_v disciple_n in_o the_o fifteen_o of_o the_o act_n be_v child_n in_o nonage_n mark_v that_o that_o if_o they_o be_v not_o circumcise_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o moses_n that_o be_v to_o observe_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n they_o can_v not_o be_v save_v and_o these_o be_v the_o very_a person_n that_o the_o apostle_n call_v disciple_n in_o the_o ten_o verse_n and_o you_o may_v see_v what_o they_o be_v forbid_v in_o the_o twenty_o verse_n the_o which_o she_o w_v that_o they_o be_v not_o child_n but_o you_o may_v see_v this_o also_o full_o answer_v as_o beforesaid_a only_o take_v this_o by_o the_o way_n from_o whence_o you_o may_v see_v that_o child_n of_o seven_o or_o eight_o day_n old_a or_o thereabouts_o can_v be_v christ_n disciple_n because_o christ_n say_v that_o he_o that_o deny_v not_o himself_o and_o take_v up_o his_o cross_n and_o follow_v he_o can_v be_v his_o disciple_n the_o which_o a_o child_n can_v do_v therefore_o can_v be_v christ_n disciple_n see_v dagons_n downfall_n and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o next_o thing_n which_o be_v say_v you_o that_o which_o be_v frequenty_n mention_v in_o the_o law_n need_v not_o to_o be_v so_o frequent_o mention_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o what_o more_o frequent_a in_o the_o ola_n testament_n than_o god_n promise_v to_o be_v a_o god_n to_o they_o and_o their_o seed_n your_o instance_n be_v that_o of_o the_o sabbath_n say_v you_o the_o sabbath_n be_v moral_a and_o perpetual_a and_o frequent_o command_v to_o be_v keep_v in_o the_o law_n need_v not_o to_o be_v command_v to_o be_v keep_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v and_o first_o that_o how_o you_o will_v prove_v it_o to_o be_v moral_a and_o perpetual_a i_o know_v not_o if_o you_o serious_o read_v heb._n 4_o 3_o 4_o you_o may_v see_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n as_o it_o do_v look_v at_o the_o seven_o

under_o the_o gospel_n and_o yet_o break_v it_o by_o do_v his_o own_o work_n your_o own_o practice_n deny_v the_o morality_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n and_o indeed_o the_o day_n be_v

day_n holy_a to_o christ_n service_n upon_o another_o account_n and_o if_o you_o keep_v it_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o a_o sabbath_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o old_a institution_n then_o for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v learn_v to_o keep_v it_o in_o every_o particular_a so_o or_o otherwise_o you_o be_v condemn_v in_o the_o thing_n that_o you_o allow_v and_o also_o in_o the_o second_o place_n

in_o the_o communion_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o whereas_o god_n say_v he_o will_v be_v 〈◊〉_d god_n to_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n if_o that_o be_v a_o gospel_n promise_n than_o god_n do_v
