already_o come_v to_o have_v be_v dead_a and_o to_o have_v rise_v again_o three_o circumcision_n belong_v to_o the_o church_n constitute_v in_o the_o house_n of_o abraham_n baptism_n to_o the_o church_n gather_v out_o of_o all_o nation_n whence_o i_o gather_v that_o there_o be_v not_o the_o same_o reason_n of_o circumcision_n and_o baptism_n in_o sign_v the_o evangelical_a covenant_n nor_o may_v there_o be_v a_o argument_n draw_v from_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o one_o to_o the_o like_a manner_n of_o administer_a the_o other_o 4._o that_o some_o there_o be_v circumcise_v to_o

house_n whether_o stranger_n or_o bear_v in_o his_o house_n be_v circumcise_v gen._n 17._o 12_o 13._o of_o who_o nevertheless_o it_o may_v be_v doubt_v whether_o any_o promise_n of_o the_o covenant_n make_v with_o abraham_n do_v belong_v to_o they_o there_o be_v other_o person_n to_o who_o all_o or_o most_o of_o the_o promise_n in_o the_o covenant_n pertain_v that_o be_v not_o circumcise_v this_o may_v be_v affirm_v of_o the_o female_n come_v from_o abraham_n the_o infant_n die_v before_o the_o eight_o day_n of_o just_a man_n live_v out_o of_o abraham_n house_n as_o melchisedech_n lot_n job_n if_o any_o say_v that_o the_o female_n be_v circumcise_v in_o the_o circumcision_n of_o the_o male_n he_o say_v it_o without_o proof_n and_o by_o like_o perhaps_o great_a reason_n it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o the_o child_n of_o believer_n be_v baptise_v in_o the_o person_n of_o their_o parent_n and_o therefore_o be_v not_o to_o be_v baptise_v in_o their_o own_o person_n but_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o jew_n comprehend_v in_o the_o covenant_n make_v with_o abraham_n and_o circumcise_v be_v nevertheless_o not_o admit_v to_o baptism_n by_o john_n baptist_n and_o christ_n disciple_n till_o they_o profess_v repentance_n and_o faith_n in_o christ_n hence_o i_o gather_v first_o that_o the_o right_a to_o evangelical_a promise_n be_v not_o the_o adequate_a reason_n of_o crrcumcise_n these_o or_o those_o but_o god_n precept_n as_o be_v express_v gen._n 17._o 23._o gen._n 21._o 4._o second_o that_o those_o term_n be_v not_o convertible_a federate_n and_o to_o be_v

this_o limitation_n it_o be_v true_a of_o that_o sign_n of_o the_o covenant_n which_o agree_v universal_o in_o respect_n of_o form_n and_o sanction_n to_o they_o that_o receive_v the_o gospel_n but_o it_o be_v not_o true_a of_o that_o sign_n of_o the_o covenant_n which_o be_v of_o a_o particular_a form_n or_o sanctior_fw-la of_o which_o sort_n be_v circumcision_n second_o i_o answer_v by_o deny_v the_o minor_a universal_o take_v the_o reason_n be_v because_o those_o child_n only_o of_o believe_v gentile_n be_v abraham_n child_n who_o be_v his_o spiritual_a seed_n according_a to_o the_o election_n of_o grace_n by_o faith_n which_o be_v not_o know_v to_o we_o but_o by_o profession_n or_o special_a revelation_n the_o second_o argument_n be_v thus_o form_v examine_v to_o who_o circumcision_n do_v agree_v to_o they_o baptism_n do_v agree_v but_o to_o infant_n circumcision_n do_v agree_v therefore_o also_o baptism_n the_o major_n be_v thus_o prove_v if_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n succeed_v into_o the_o place_n of_o circumcision_n than_o baptism_n belong_v to_o they_o that_o circumcision_n belong_v to_o but_o the_o antecedent_n be_v true_a therefore_o also_o the_o

be_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o use_n of_o the_o wife_n your_o child_n be_v holy_a that_o be_v lawful_o beget_v and_o bear_v but_o if_o it_o be_v grant_v the_o sanctification_n be_v understand_v of_o

will_v follow_v that_o the_o child_n bear_v of_o wife_n superadd_v to_o the_o first_o incestuous_a concubine_n and_o harlot_n be_v not_o within_o the_o covenant_n neither_o to_o be_v circumcise_v

custom_n or_o canon_n put_v such_o back_n child_n from_o baptism_n but_o in_o very_a deed_n this_o can_v be_v the_o sense_n for_o only_a holiness_n which_o i_o call_v matrimonial_a of_o the_o child_n

of_o these_o alone_o there_o be_v doubt_n among_o the_o corinthian_a christian_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n resolution_n nor_o yet_o as_o beza_n infer_v if_o this_o sense_n be_v put_v shall_v the_o apostle_n draw_v a_o argument_n from_o civil_a law_n to_o pacify_v conscience_n but_o he_o use_v his_o apostolical_a authority_n resolve_v the_o doubt_n in_o this_o chapter_n and_o teach_v

which_o christ_n do_v mat._n 18._o 2._o or_o from_o a_o custom_n among_o the_o jew_n of_o seek_v the_o blessing_n of_o prophet_n and_o holy_a man_n for_o their_o little_a one_o as_o rebecca_n for_o
