A86328	The foundation of the font discovered to the view of all that desire to behold it. And, the baptizing of men and women when they believe (in rivers and fountains) proved to be a standing ordinance in the Church of Cchrist to the end of the world; by plain Scripture-proof. In answer to Mr. Cook's Font uncovered, for infant-baptism; and Mr. Baxter's Plain Scripture-proof for infants church-membership and baptism. With a word sometimes upon occasion to Mr. Hall's Font-guarded; which is more fully answered by Thomas Collyer. By Henry Haggar, a servant of Christ, and the congregations of his saints.

therefore_o that_o all_o man_n and_o such_o as_o be_v wicked_a and_o profane_a have_v their_o heart_n sprinkle_v from_o a_o evil_a conscience_n therefore_o no_o national_a church_n and_o i_o much_o

to_o baptize_v whole_a nation_n but_o if_o they_o do_v any_o such_o thing_n we_o desire_v to_o see_v it_o moreover_o we_o grant_v you_o if_o a_o whole_a nation_n can_v be_v convert_v by_o the_o

than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o abraham_n in_o soul_n be_v live_v 2._o this_o be_v not_o direct_o prove_v from_o this_o text_n but_o another_o principle_n must_v be_v take_v in_o to_o support_v

obtain_v the_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a and_o then_o when_o he_o have_v do_v he_o conclude_v that_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a be_v so_o plain_a that_o even_a moses_n show_v it_o
