also_o all_o the_o now_o papist_n and_o conformist_n protestant_n and_o the_o presbyterian_o all_o concure_n in_o the_o necessity_n of_o baptise_v child_n build_v the_o structure_n of_o their_o

except_o a_o man_n be_v bear_v of_o water_n and_o the_o spirit_n be_v can_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n not_o without_o the_o one_o into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n not_o without_o both_o into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n i_o speak_v so_o far_o as_o be_v reveal_v to_o we_o we_o dare_v give_v no_o far_o a_o warrant_n than_o god_n a_o precept_n and_o must_v tie_v ourselves_o to_o the_o reveal_v mean_n though_o not_o our_o god_n at_o all_o time_n to_o such_o term_n as_o he_o have_v reveal_v himself_o to_o we_o but_o this_o place_n of_o scripture_n the_o anabaptist_n tell_v we_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o man_n of_o year_n not_o of_o child_n who_o be_v of_o less_o age_n than_o the_o ten_o of_o one_o year_n as_o a_o reverend_a doctor_n write_v they_o may_v as_o well_o put_v in_o a_o exception_n against_o woman_n no_o more_o name_v than_o child_n this_o they_o dare_v not_o that_o they_o ought_v not_o for_o our_o saviour_n in_o that_o place_n speak_v of_o

therefore_o infant_n while_o infant_n aught_o to_o have_v the_o medicine_n baptism_n administer_v to_o they_o as_o well_o as_o if_o elder_a people_n especial_o consider_v it_o be_v the_o only_a

of_o the_o lord_n supper_n to_o woman_n or_o for_o change_v the_o sabbath_n from_o the_o seven_o to_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n nor_o find_v they_o the_o creed_n word_n by_o word_n in_o

day_n and_o give_v the_o communion_n to_o woman_n why_o then_o not_o baptism_n to_o child_n for_o which_o we_o have_v fair_a evidence_n how_o it_o belong_v unto_o they_o and_o now_o the_o premise_n consider_v how_o that_o many_o thing_n be_v approve_v of_o for_o divine_a truth_n not_o express_v at_o large_a in_o so_o many_o line_n of_o the_o text._n second_o since_o whole_a family_n be_v baptize_v our_o apostle_n tell_v we_o who_o he_o do_v not_o baptize_v but_o enter_v no_o caveat_n against_o infant_n baptism_n three_o since_o scripture_n tell_v we_o this_o be_v the_o way_n for_o man_n or_o mankind_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n by_o be_v bear_v of_o water_n and_o the_o spirit_n this_o water_n charter_n be_v grant_v by_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n to_o all_o man_n of_o what_o age_n of_o sex_n upon_o earth_n four_o since_o our_o saviour_n assure_v we_o heaven_n belong_v to_o our_o young_a child_n and_o that_o at_o their_o year_n there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o free_v they_o from_o their_o birth-sin_n and_o ensure_v they_o heaven_n but_o by_o baptism_n with_o these_o few_o smooth_a stone_n take_v out_o of_o the_o bag_n of_o the_o shepherd_n of_o our_o soul_n we_o have_v knock_v in_o the_o forehead_n the_o anabaptist_n great_a grand_a goliath_n argument_n and_o make_v it_o of_o as_o little_a force_n as_o samson_n when_o his_o lock_n be_v shave_v and_o now_o to_o pass_v from_o our_o adversary_n most_o material_a objection_n to_o our_o argument_n which_o be_v as_o so_o many_o champion_n to_o defend_v the_o baptise_v infant_n and_o my_o first_o be_v this_o this_o salve_n be_v never_o forbid_v we_o to_o apply_v to_o our_o infant_n sore_n who_o be_v all_o over_o wound_v with_o original_a sin_n by_o adam_n let_v the_o anabaptist_n point_v out_o where_o god_n forbid_v it_o and_o we_o will_v leave_v it_o methinks_v it_o have_v be_v time_n enough_o to_o cry_v out_o of_o we_o for_o baptise_v child_n when_o they_o have_v show_v we_o christ_n prohibition_n but_o where_o there_o be_v in_o scripture_n so_o universal_a a_o silence_n i_o know_v no_o cause_n why_o they_o shall_v make_v so_o open_a a_o outcry_n we_o much_o desire_v they_o will_v cease_v to_o quarrel_v with_o we_o on_o earth_n till_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n declare_v for_o they_o they_o tell_v we_o how_o we_o have_v no_o express_a place_n in_o scripture_n to_o

they_o to_o let_v we_o without_o disturbance_n baptize_v our_o infant_n till_o they_o find_v a_o law_n to_o condemn_v we_o or_o a_o gospel_n to_o forbid_v we_o the_o second_o argument_n our_o second_o
