be_v a_o ordinance_n confirm_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n therefore_o sprinkle_v of_o child_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o idol_n his_o allegatition_n have_v be_v examine_v in_o all_o the_o part_n

though_o corrupt_o baptise_a ought_v not_o to_o be_v baptise_a that_o be_v already_o prove_v but_o second_o he_o reckon_v without_o his_o host_n and_o therefore_o must_v come_v to_o a_o new_a

be_v the_o business_n of_o the_o covenant_n with_o its_o distinction_n and_o extent_n from_o which_o he_o undertake_v to_o prove_v that_o infant_n be_v not_o subject_n of_o baptism_n though_o we_o have_v hitherto_o build_v upon_o a_o good_a foundation_n yet_o if_o he_o shake_v down_o his_o main_a pillar_n it_o will_v be_v time_n to_o forsake_v the_o house_n but_o before_o we_o can_v come_v to_o his_o argument_n we_o must_v pass_v by_o many_o falsitis_fw-la and_o prolocution_n and_o go_v through_o many_o impertinency_n which_o must_v be_v bear_v withal_o among_o the_o patron_n of_o error_n the_o first_o thing_n he_o deal_v with_o be_v a_o pretend_v false_a consequence_n which_o he_o say_v we_o draw_v from_o scripture_n to_o maintain_v infant-baptism_n it_o run_v thus_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v make_v with_o believer_n and_o their_o seed_n therefore_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n belong_v to_o they_o to_o disprove_v which_o he_o tell_v we_o it_o be_v against_o the_o
