the_o institution_n of_o circumcision_n than_o they_o ought_v to_o observe_v it_o in_o every_o thing_n and_o baptize_v male_n only_o and_o that_o precise_o on_o the_o eight_o day_n answer_n this_o

what_o the_o jew_n be_v command_v in_o the_o forth_o commandment_n that_o we_o christian_n be_v bind_v to_o perform_v but_o the_o jew_n be_v command_v to_o keep_v holy_a the_o seven_o day_n from_o

no_o more_o than_o that_o child_n ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o same_o part_n where_o they_o be_v circumcise_v the_o answer_n be_v very_o easy_a the_o one_o sacrament_n be_v to_o succeed_v

it_o will_v follow_v that_o because_o circumcision_n be_v administer_v to_o the_o infant_n as_o soon_o as_o it_o be_v capable_a thereof_o or_o can_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n without_o danger_n therefore_o child_n ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v as_o soon_o as_o convenient_o they_o may_v and_o this_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o resolution_n of_o s._n cypr._n 1400._o year_n ago_o in_o his_o

more_o than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o child_n ought_v not_o to_o eat_v because_o they_o can_v labour_v for_o their_o live_n for_o though_o the_o apostle_n rule_v be_v general_a 10._o let_v he_o
