infant-baptism_n by_o erroneous_a free_a parent_n and_o child_n from_o this_o divine_a bond_n and_o engagement_n do_v too_o much_o tend_v too_o looseness_n and_o carnal_a liberty_n and_o profane_a conversation_n §_o xxvii_o infant-baptism_n be_v great_o useful_a to_o keep_v up_o the_o doctrine_n of_o original_a sin_n in_o infant_n and_o the_o necessity_n of_o supernatural_a regeneration_n and_o eternal_a redemption_n by_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o it_o be_v great_o useful_a to_o our_o faith_n but_o the_o way_n of_o those_o who_o be_v against_o infant-baptism_n do_v very_o much_o tend_v to_o weaken_v our_o faith_n herein_o and_o make_v all_o man_n think_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o original_a sin_n in_o infant_n that_o they_o have_v no_o need_n of_o regeneration_n and_o eternal_a redemption_n by_o christ_n and_o that_o they_o be_v no_o less_o holy_a and_o pure_a than_o the_o infant_n jesus_n who_o be_v after_o a_o extraordinary_a and_o miraculous_a manner_n conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o womb_n of_o a_o virgin_n and_o bear_v of_o she_o which_o be_v a_o great_a and_o dangerous_a error_n §_o xxviii_o moreover_o their_o way_n tend_v to_o harden_v the_o jew_n in_o their_o infidelity_n because_o the_o gospel_n oblige_v they_o to_o believe_v that_o if_o they_o will_v become_v christian_n not_o only_a themselves_o but_o their_o infant_n also_o shall_v become_v great_a gainer_n and_o be_v under_o a_o better_a covenant_n then_o that_o of_o circumcision_n which_o upon_o the_o principle_n of_o those_o who_o oppose_v infant-baptism_n can_v be_v and_o so_o the_o jew_n be_v scandalize_v and_o a_o stumbling-block_n be_v cast_v in_o their_o way_n to_o hinder_v their_o conversion_n §_o xxix_o the_o

who_o have_v be_v lawful_o baptize_v in_o their_o infancy_n with_o christ_n baptism_n how_o they_o will_v avoid_v the_o charge_n of_o anabaptism_n and_o sinful_a rebaptising_a i_o see_v not_o and_o it_o may_v seem_v strange_a that_o they_o can_v find_v evidence_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o the_o divine_a appointment_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o that_o from_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n the_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v change_v into_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n as_o in_o their_o confession_n of_o faith_n themselves_o declare_v p._n 77._o and_o yet_o can_v
