capable_a of_o be_v admit_v into_o the_o covenant_n and_o therefore_o that_o they_o can_v be_v exclude_v from_o the_o outward_a seal_n of_o it_o the_o consequence_n the_o baptist_n can_v deny_v and_o that_o they_o be_v capable_a i_o thus_o prove_v they_o be_v capable_a under_o the_o law_n and_o before_o the_o law_n of_o be_v admit_v as_o member_n of_o the_o covenant_n in_o christ_n to_o come_v

none_o shall_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n except_o those_o who_o shall_v become_v as_o little_a child_n and_o that_o whoever_o do_v receive_v a_o little_a child_n in_o his_o name_n

this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o what_o we_o read_v so_o often_o in_o the_o act_n that_o such_o a_o man_n be_v baptise_a with_o his_o household_n and_o it_o be_v the_o custom_n before_o with_o the_o

be_v only_o to_o prefer_v the_o office_n of_o preach_v before_o that_o of_o baptise_v but_o i_o must_v withal_o desire_v they_o to_o take_v notice_n that_o the_o preach_a that_o be_v publish_v of_o the_o gospel_n at_o first_o to_o heathen_n be_v a_o very_a different_a thing_n and_o of_o much_o great_a necessity_n than_o those_o set_a discourse_n which_o we_o now_o call_v preach_v in_o

by_o the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ._n from_o whence_o the_o quaker_n argue_v thus_o that_o baptism_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o the_o outward_a wash_v but_o the_o inward_a and_o so_o far_o they_o argue_v right_a that_o the_o inward_a be_v the_o chief_a and_o principal_a part_n and_o therefore_o that_o if_o any_o regard_n only_o the_o outward_a wash_v of_o the_o skin_n in_o baptism_n they_o be_v indeed_o frustrate_v of_o the_o whole_a benefit_n of_o it_o which_o be_v altogether_o spiritual_a and_o it_o have_v be_v observe_v sect._n vii_o latter_a part_n of_o numb_a seven_o that_o if_o only_o the_o outward_a part_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n or_o circumcision_n and_o other_o institution_n under_o the_o law_n be_v regard_v they_o be_v hateful_a to_o god_n and_o he_o reject_v they_o though_o at_o the_o same_o time_n he_o command_v the_o performance_n of_o they_o under_o the_o penalty_n of_o death_n thus_o it_o be_v in_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o inward_a and_o spiritual_a part_n be_v the_o chief_a and_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o which_o only_o the_o outward_a be_v command_v but_o this_o make_v the_o outward_a necessary_a instead_o of_o throw_v it_o off_o because_o as_o it_o be_v under_o the_o law_n the_o outward_a be_v ordain_v as_o a_o mean_n whereby_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o inward_a and_o therefore_o if_o we_o neglect_v and_o despise_v the_o outward_a when_o we_o may_v have_v it_o we_o have_v no_o promise_n in_o the_o gospel_n to_o entitle_v we_o to_o the_o inward_a as_o he_o that_o neglect_v the_o mean_n have_v no_o

that_o say_v the_o christian_n have_v but_o one_o baptism_n as_o they_o have_v but_o one_o lord_n and_z one_o faith_n ii_o i_o answer_v outward_a and_o inward_a be_v two_o thing_n but_o yet_o they_o

there_o be_v no_o outward_a or_o public_a worship_n but_o by_o our_o body_n we_o can_v otherwise_o express_v the_o inward_a devotion_n and_o adoration_n of_o our_o mind_n and_o this_o be_v so_o
