which_o he_o have_v substantial_o prove_v to_o which_o i_o refer_v you_o arg._n 2._o that_o covenant_n which_o oblige_v to_o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n be_v not_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n but_o the_o covenant_n of_o circumcision_n oblige_v to_o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n ergo_fw-la the_o covenant_n of_o circumcision_n be_v not_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n the_o major_a he_o show_v to_o

when_o the_o design_n thereof_o be_v to_o show_v who_o be_v orderly_a member_n of_o a_o true_a visible_a church_n and_o do_v therein_o declare_v that_o every_o one_o before_o they_o be_v admit_v to_o

against_o we_o without_o better_a evidence_n have_v clear_v ourselves_o from_o this_o abuse_n i_o think_v it_o high_o reasonable_a to_o know_v who_o it_o be_v he_o own_v for_o church_n and_o

6._o mr._n h._n say_v whoever_o will_v be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n must_v be_v baptize_v 2._o he_o tell_v we_o that_o person_n be_v knit_v to_o christ_n by_o a_o vital_a union_n as_o they_o be_v live_v branch_n in_o he_o and_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n be_v not_o a_o ground_n for_o baptism_n and_o yet_o he_o confess_v that_o thus_o only_a the_o elect_n be_v in_o covenant_n 3._o when_o he_o come_v to_o give_v we_o a_o account_n who_o be_v in_o the_o visible_a covenant_n which_o in_o his_o language_n be_v visible_a church-member_n he_o say_v page_n 7._o thus_o all_o who_o

do_v not_o know_v who_o belong_v to_o the_o election_n of_o grace_n but_o self-contradiction_n be_v common_a with_o he_o i_o shall_v make_v some_o few_o remark_n upon_o it_o and_o so_o proceed_v to_o what_o i_o intend_v 1._o that_o if_o all_o the_o unconvert_v hypocrite_n among_o all_o that_o profess_v the_o christian_a name_n be_v but_o baptize_v they_o be_v believer_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o

covenant_n of_o grace_n than_o they_o also_o must_v needs_o be_v save_v by_o his_o doctrine_n it_o be_v a_o easy_a way_n to_o bring_v person_n into_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n if_o sprinkle_v a_o little_a cold_a water_n on_o their_o face_n will_v do_v it_o 3._o that_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o it_o seem_v he_o do_v not_o know_v that_o any_o one_o either_o of_o his_o church-member_n or_o their_o infant_n be_v in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n neither_o do_v he_o baptize_v they_o as_o such_o for_o he_o plain_o confess_v he_o do_v not_o know_v who_o belong_v to_o the_o election_n of_o grace_n then_o it_o be_v as_o plain_a that_o he_o be_v not_o sure_a that_o any_o of_o his_o member_n or_o their_o infant_n shall_v be_v save_v and_o then_o they_o be_v at_o charge_n to_o maintan_n he_o to_o very_o little_a purpose_n nay_o further_o he_o do_v not_o know_v by_o this_o confuse_a way_n of_o argue_v that_o any_o of_o those_o church_n minister_n or_o christian_n that_o belong_v to_o those_o visible_a church_n he_o talk_v of_o be_v in_o any_o more_o hope_n of_o salvation_n than_o those_o heathen_n he_o speak_v of_o in_o another_o place_n who_o he_o with_o calvin_n of_o old_a condemn_v to_o the_o pit_n of_o hell_n for_o no_o other_o imaginable_a reason_n than_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n build_v only_o upon_o this_o supposition_n because_o god_n will_v have_v it_o so_o but_o god_n will_v not_o entrust_v these_o rasn_a man_n to_o be_v judge_n of_o the_o world_n for_o he_o have_v commit_v all_o judgement_n to_o the_o son_n otherwise_o the_o poor_a anabaptist_n will_v be_v under_o bad_a circumstance_n i_o now_o proceed_v to_o prosecute_v my_o design_n to_o discover_v who_o it_o be_v that_o he_o intend_v by_o minister_n by_o minister_n he_o must_v needs_o intend_v those_o that_o be_v before_o describe_v to_o be_v member_n viz._n either_o his_o carnal_a professor_n or_o infant_n bear_v of_o they_o infant_n he_o can_v mean_v because_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a if_o you_o will_v therefore_o be_v satisfy_v he_o have_v tell_v you_o it_o be_v all_o the_o minister_n that_o profess_v christ_n beside_o those_o of_o our_o way_n for_o there_o lie_v the_o
