shall_v take_v liberty_n to_o say_v it_o be_v this_o to_o one_o but_o not_o to_o another_o when_o the_o scripture_n say_v no_o such_o thing_n but_o speak_v of_o the_o nature_n and_o use_n of_o it_o without_o distinction_n else_o when_o it_o say_v circumcision_n be_v a_o seal_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n we_o may_v say_v with_o the_o anabaptist_n it_o be_v so_o to_o abraham_n but_o not_o to_o all_o other_o and_o when_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v say_v to_o be_v appoint_v for_o the_o remembrance_n of_o christ_n we_o may_v say_v that_o be_v but_o to_o some_o and_o not_o to_o other_o when_o as_o the_o text_n plain_o speak_v of_o the_o state_a use_n of_o the_o ordinance_n to_o all_o 2_o and_o in_o the_o type_n it_o be_v clear_a for_o it_o be_v not_o some_o only_a but_o all_o that_o enter_v noabs_n ark_n that_o enter_v into_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n from_o the_o deluge_n therefore_o so_o it_o be_v here_o as_o to_o the_o command_v use_v 2._o when_o baptism_n be_v say_v to_o save_v we_o it_o be_v plain_o mean_v of_o the_o state_n of_o salvation_n that_o baptism_n enter_v we_o into_o and_o not_o of_o baptism_n ex_fw-la opere_fw-la operato_fw-la by_o the_o work_n do_v effect_v our_o salvation_n and_o so_o baptism_n comprehend_v the_o state_n into_o which_o we_o be_v solemn_o by_o it_o initiate_v as_o a_o woman_n that_o be_v marry_v to_o a_o honourable_a man_n or_o a_o soldier_n list_v under_o a_o honourable_a commander_n be_v say_v to_o be_v honour_v the_o one_o by_o marriage_n the_o other_o by_o list_n where_o antecedent_n consent_n be_v the_o foundation_n on_o both_o side_n of_o the_o honourable_a relation_n and_o the_o subsequent_a state_n be_v the_o condition_n or_o state_n itself_o which_o be_v honourable_a but_o the_o solemn_a signation_n be_v but_o the_o expression_n of_o the_o former_a and_o passage_n to_o the_o late_a 3._o hereby_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o though_o the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n be_v the_o principal_a thing_n intend_v and_o that_o save_v yet_o the_o external_a baptism_n be_v here_o include_v as_o the_o sign_n and_o solemnization_n so_o that_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v not_o the_o put_v away_o of_o the_o filth_n of_o the_o flesh_n he_o mean_v not_o the_o bare_a outward_a act_n of_o wash_v alone_o or_o as_o such_o but_o baptism_n as_o it_o be_v entire_a have_v the_o thing_n profess_v on_o ou●_n part_n together_o with_o the_o profess_a sign_n 4._o it_o be_v therefore_o but_o by_o way_n of_o signification_n obsignation_n and_o complemental_a exhibition_n that_o baptism_n save_v it_o be_v neither_o the_o fast_a or_o principal_a efficient_a or_o condition_n of_o it_o but_o be_v value_v as_o it_o be_v conjunct_a with_o the_o principal_a cause_n and_o condition_n for_o the_o attainment_n of_o these_o end_n 5._o it_o be_v not_o a_o mere_a remote_a mean_n lead_v towards_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n that_o baptism_n be_v here_o affirm_v to_o be_v but_o a_o entrance_n or_o mean_n of_o entrance_n into_o that_o state_n of_o salvation_n itself_o as_o the_o heart-covenant_n or_o faith_n do_v it_o principal_o so_o baptism_n signal_o and_o complemental_o this_o be_v plain_a 1._o because_o it_o be_v not_o say_v to_o help_v we_o towards_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n but_o express_o to_o save_v 2._o because_o the_o type_n which_o be_v here_o mention_v viz._n the_o ark_n be_v such_o a_o mean_n that_o all_o that_o enter_v into_o it_o for_o preservation_n from_o the_o flood_n be_v actual_o save_v from_o it_o all_o this_o lay_v together_o do_v confirm_v both_o the_o antecedent_n and_o consequence_n of_o my_o argument_n calvin_n word_n on_o the_o text_n signify_v 1._o that_o no_o baptise_a man_n be_v exclude_v from_o salvation_n but_o hypocrite_n 2._o that_o they_o that_o be_v exclude_v from_o salvation_n for_o all_o their_o baptism_n be_v such_o as_o do_v dep●ave_v and_o corrupt_v it_o and_o not_o just_o use_v it_o yet_o another_o argument_n may_v hence_o be_v raise_v thus_o argum._n 2._o if_o according_a to_o the_o institution_n the_o answer_n of_o a_o ●ood_a conscience_n must_v be_v join_v with_o baptism_n for_o the_o attain_n of_o its_o end_n than_o we_o must_v admit_v none_o that_o profess_v not_o that_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n but_o no_o infant_n do_v profess_v that_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n as_o be_v manifest_a by_o sense_n therefore_o we_o must_v admit_v no_o infant_n to_o baptism_n but_o the_o former_a be_v certain_a from_o the_o text_n for_o baptism_n be_v say_v to_o save_v that_o be_v its_o appoint_a use_n yet_o not_o the_o external_a wash_n but_o the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n do_v it_o therefore_o this_o be_v of_o necessary_a conjunction_n and_o without_o it_o baptism_n can_v attain_v its_o end_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v administer_v and_o receive_v only_o in_o order_n to_o the_o attainment_n of_o its_o end_n and_o therefore_o never_o in_o a_o way_n by_o which_o the_o end_n be_v apparent_o not_o attainable_a what_o this_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n be_v we_o shall_v further_o inquire_v anon_o both_o the_o common_a exp●sitions_n full_o confirm_v the_o point_n which_o i_o maintain_v the_o assembly_n annot._n recit_fw-la both_o thus_o hence_o by_o the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n we_o may_v understand_v that_o unfeigned_a faith_n whereof_o they_o make_v confession_n at_o their_o baptism_n and_o whereby_o their_o conscience_n be_v purify_v and_o whereby_o they_o receive_v the_o remission_n of_o their_o sin_n etc._n etc._n some_o understand_v by_o the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n that_o covenant_n whereinto_o they_o enter_v at_o their_o baptism_n the_o embrace_v whereof_o they_o testify_v by_o their_o unfeigned_a confession_n of_o their_o faith_n viz._n such_o a_o faith_n as_o be_v aforesaid_a pag._n 160._o argum._n 18._o no_o one_o may_v be_v admit_v to_o baptism_n who_o may_v not_o be_v addmit_v a_o member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n no_o one_o may_v be_v admit_v to_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n without_o the_o profession_n of_o a_o save_a faith_n therefore_o no_o one_o may_v be_v admit_v to_o baptism_n without_o the_o profession_n of_o a_o save_a faith_n but_o no_o infant_n do_v profess_v save_v faith_n as_o be_v manifest_a by_o sense_n therefore_o no_o infant_n may_v be_v admit_v to_o baptism_n i_o speak_v of_o such_o admission_n to_o church_n membership_n as_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n who_o have_v the_o key_n of_o his_o kingdom_n to_o open_v and_o let_v in_o as_o well_o as_o to_o cast_v out_o the_o major_a be_v past_a question_n because_o baptism_n be_v

which_o i_o shall_v therefore_o prove_v 1._o it_o be_v before_o prove_v that_o all_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n must_v be_v such_o as_o be_v visible_o solemn_o or_o by_o profession_n sanctify_v from_o former_a sin_n cleanse_v justify_a person_n of_o god_n the_o heir_n of_o the_o promise_n etc._n etc._n but_o this_o can_v be_v without_o the_o profession_n of_o a_o save_a faith_n
