to_o baptism_n but_o here_o they_o say_v not_o to_o the_o supper_n until_o they_o be_v able_a to_o examine_v themselves_o which_o be_v require_v of_o all_o that_o receive_v the_o supper_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v so_o faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v require_v of_o all_o that_o be_v baptize_v but_o here_o they_o say_v that_o these_o be_v require_v only_o of_o man_n of_o year_n not_o of_o infant_n who_o be_v not_o able_a to_o perform_v they_o and_o the_o very_a same_o be_v my_o answer_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o supper_n that_o examination_n be_v require_v only_o of_o man_n of_o year_n and_o not_o of_o infant_n who_o be_v not_o able_a to_o perform_v it_o beside_o if_o neither_o my_o author_n nor_o memory_n fail_v i_o child_n cross_n parker_n on_o the_o cross_n be_v admit_v as_o well_o to_o the_o supper_n as_o to_o baptism_n for_o many_o year_n in_o time_n past_a and_o why_o not_o as_o well_o to_o the_o one_o as_o to_o the_o other_o see_v the_o same_o reason_n be_v alike_o in_o both_o and_o will_v centre_n into_o one_o if_o full_o prosecute_v for_o as_o no_o infant_n be_v require_v by_o god_n in_o scripture_n to_o believe_v or_o repent_v so_o likewise_o no_o infant_n be_v require_v to_o be_v baptize_v nor_o be_v any_o man_n any_o where_o require_v by_o god_n to_o baptize_v a_o infant_n and_o the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v in_o respect_n of_o examination_n and_o receive_v the_o supper_n second_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o reason_n be_v ground_v upon_o a_o great_a mistake_n of_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o text_n for_o the_o word_n be_v not_o unto_o they_o belong_v the_o kingdom_n but_o of_o such_o be_v the_o kingdom_n that_o be_v of_o none_o else_o but_o of_o such_o as_o the_o next_o word_n which_o follow_v in_o these_o text_n do_v manifest_o declare_v

he_o present_o confirm_v it_o in_o the_o next_o word_n thus_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o whosoever_o shall_v not_o receive_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n as_o a_o little_a child_n shall_v not_o

be_v evident_a that_o when_o christ_n say_v of_o such_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n his_o meaning_n be_v not_o of_o they_o nor_o of_o such_o as_o they_o in_o age_n nor_o understanding_n 1_o

they_o and_o bless_v they_o 1._o to_o which_o i_o first_o answer_n that_o all_o this_o be_v not_o baptise_v they_o for_o christ_n baptize_v not_o io._n 4._o 2._o and_o therefore_o this_o place_n seem_v not_o at_o all_o to_o prove_v the_o baptise_v of_o infant_n 2._o second_o i_o say_v let_v they_o that_o please_v do_v as_o here_o christ_n do_v yet_o much_o rather_o let_v we_o all_o learn_v the_o lesson_n which_o christ_n here_o teach_v without_o which_o we_o can_v be_v save_v but_o we_o quite_o pervert_v christ_n meaning_n do_v in_o another_o sense_n become_v little_a child_n for_o some_o at_o first_o have_v no_o soon_o hence_o sound_v out_o this_o tune_n in_o our_o ear_n that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n belong_v to_o little_a child_n and_o therefore_o baptism_n but_o we_o all_o present_o like_o little_a child_n dance_v after_o this_o pipe_n as_o though_o our_o head_n be_v light_a than_o our_o heel_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n loose_v the_o true_a sense_n the_o

alone_o to_o those_o that_o be_v instruct_v in_o the_o faith_n and_o seven_o time_n in_o the_o week_n before_o easter_n and_o pentecost_n catechize_v or_o ask_v question_n and_o then_o upon_o
