you_o may_v as_o well_o conclude_v that_o no_o infant_n shall_v be_v save_v because_o believe_v go_v before_o the_o word_n save_v as_o that_o no_o infant_n must_v be_v baptise_a because_o believe_v go_v before_o the_o word_n baptise_a but_o the_o weakness_n of_o this_o argument_n draw_v from_o place_v the_o word_n i_o have_v show_v before_o antip_a a_o person_n already_o teach_v must_v profess_v his_o faith_n before_o he_o be_v baptise_a therefore_o a_o infant_n that_o can_v profess_v his_o faith_n must_v not_o be_v baptise_a say_v philip_n to_o the_o eunuch_n act_v 8._o 37._o if_o thou_o

nor_o any_o one_o word_n of_o god_n do_v show_v that_o infant_n must_v be_v deny_v baptism_n because_o they_o can_v do_v what_o be_v require_v of_o adult_n person_n 74._o this_o eunuch_n be_v probable_o a_o proselyte_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o therefore_o a_o member_n of_o the_o jewish_a church_n the_o infant_n of_o all_o such_o proselyte_n if_o they_o have_v any_o be_v church-member_n with_o themselves_o now_o must_v these_o poor_a infant_n immediate_o upon_o their_o parent_n faith_n and_o baptism_n be_v shut_v out_o of_o god_n church_n of_o which_o they_o be_v member_n before_o because_o they_o make_v no_o profession_n of_o their_o faith_n which_o be_v impossible_a for_o infant_n to_o do_v antip_a arg_n 4._o if_o the_o apostle_n never_o do_v baptise_v infant_n than_o the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n be_v not_o according_a to_o christ_n commission_n p_o bapt._n 1._o i_o shall_v quick_o show_v that_o the_o scripture_n do_v authorise_v the_o practice_n of_o infant-baptism_n and_o thence_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o they_o do_v baptise_v infant_n and_o they_o may_v baptise_v thousand_o though_o the_o scripture_n which_o contain_v not_o the_o hundred_o part_n of_o what_o they_o do_v do_v not_o express_o tell_v we_o so_o 2._o but_o this_o argument_n also_o will_v fall_v on_o yourselves_o thus_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o apostle_n do_v deny_v baptism_n to_o any_o christian_n infant_n or_o administer_v it_o to_o any_o adult_n person_n descend_v from_o a_o christian_a though_o from_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n to_o the_o death_n of_o st._n john_n be_v near_o 60_o year_n in_o which_o time_n thousand_o of_o christian_a infant_n must_v become_v adult_n therefore_o your_o practice_n be_v such_o be_v not_o according_a to_o christ_n commission_n 3._o but_o we_o have_v some_o probable_a instance_n of_o baptise_v infant_n whole_a household_n be_v baptise_a i_o only_o consider_v the_o jailor_n act_v 16._o 33._o he_o and_o all_z
