baptism_n of_o that_o it_o be_v deserve_o doubtful_a whether_o it_o be_v not_o in_o itself_o weak_a and_o insufficient_a for_o its_o proper_a work_n but_o the_o matter_n be_v so_o in_o the_o business_n of_o infant-baptism_n ergo_o the_o minor_a be_v prove_v by_o instance_n they_o be_v 1._o the_o use_n of_o surety_n in_o baptism_n which_o be_v a_o human_a invention_n for_o a_o shadowy_a supplement_n and_o i_o have_v almost_o say_v sport_v of_o that_o profession_n of_o faith_n which_o at_o first_o be_v make_v by_o the_o baptise_v in_o his_o own_o person_n 2._o episcopal_a confirmation_n in_o which_o the_o bishop_n lay_v hand_n or_o anoint_v the_o catechize_v that_o baptism_n or_o the_o baptise_a may_v be_v confirm_v and_o they_o make_v capable_a of_o the_o lord_n

in_o discipline_n confirm_v and_o divine_a worship_n and_o conversation_n of_o man_n that_o be_v deserve_o doubtful_a but_o infant-baptism_n be_v such_o ergo_o it_o be_v prove_v by_o enumeration_n 1._o private_a baptism_n 2._o baptism_n by_o woman_n 3._o baptism_n of_o infant_n not_o yet_o bring_v into_o light_n 4._o baptism_n of_o infant_n of_o uncertain_a progeny_n who_o we_o call_v child_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o world_n 5._o they_o be_v baptise_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n who_o know_v not_o the_o lord_n nor_o have_v ever_o consent_v or_o perhaps_o will_v consent_v to_o the_o

f●stering_v only_a contention_n and_o which_o can_v be_v determine_v by_o any_o certain_a rule_n but_o the_o tenet_n or_o rite_n of_o infant-baptism_n be_v such_o ergo_o it_o be_v prove_v by_o instance_n 1._o of_o baptise_v the_o infant_n of_o excommunicate_a person_n 2._o of_o baptise_v the_o infant_n of_o apostate_n 3._o of_o baptise_v the_o infant_n of_o such_o parent_n as_o be_v not_o
