peccat_fw-la merit_n &_o remiss_a c._n 9_o god_n obtain_v for_o they_o by_o the_o prayer_n not_o only_o of_o their_o paren_n in_o particular_a but_o of_o the_o church_n in_o general_n have_v a_o principle_n of_o faith_n inspire_v into_o they_o by_o the_o secret_a operation_n of_o that_o invisible_a spirit_n of_o grace_n who_o work_v how_o and_o where_o and_o when_o and_o how_o far_o himself_n please_v and_o where_o it_o be_v so_o in_o any_o one_o who_o dare_v deny_v that_o person_n sufficient_o qualify_v in_o point_n of_o faith_n for_o baptism_n can_v any_o man_n forbid_v water_n that_o these_o shall_v not_o be_v baptize_v which_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o well_o as_o wâ—_n act_n 10._o 47._o and_o of_o what_o infant_n of_o any_o one_o believer_n can_v any_o man_n say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o he_o and_o if_o there_o be_v never_o a_o infant_n of_o any_o one_o believer_n of_o who_o it_o can_v be_v absolute_o affirm_v that_o he_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o a_o divine_o infuse_v inward_o work_v principle_n of_o faith_n utter_o unqualify_v for_o baptism_n then_o why_o shall_v any_o one_o be_v deny_v baptism_n of_o who_o it_o can_v be_v say_v but_o that_o he_o be_v in_o some_o degree_n and_o measure_n qualify_v for_o it_o §_o 7._o but_o be_v under_o no_o necessity_n for_o the_o support_v of_o the_o cause_n i_o maintain_v to_o assert_v these_o ground_n i_o shall_v no_o further_o insist_v thereon_o but_o to_o the_o objection_n against_o infant_n capableness_n of_o baptism_n found_v in_o their_o want_n of_o faith_n give_v my_o answer_n that_o their_o not_o believe_v be_v no_o hindrance_n to_o their_o baptise_v §_o 8._o it_o be_v no_o hindrance_n to_o their_o salvation_n even_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o our_o anabaptist_n who_o declare_v it_o as_o one_o article_n of_o their_o faith_n that_o all_o child_n die_v in_o infancy_n that_o be_v before_o they_o can_v act_v faith_n in_o their_o own_o person_n and_o be_v believer_n qualify_v for_o baptism_n according_a to_o their_o account_n have_v not_o actual_o transgress_v against_o the_o law_n of_o god_n in_o their_o own_o person_n be_v only_o subject_a to_o the_o first_o death_n and_o that_o not_o any_o one_o of_o they_o die_v in_o that_o estate_n shall_v suffer_v for_o adam_n sin_n eternal_a punishment_n in_o hell_n which_o be_v the_o second_o death_n it_o be_v no_o hindrance_n then_o to_o their_o salvation_n in_o their_o judgement_n that_o they_o believe_v not_o and_o why_o then_o shall_v it_o be_v a_o hindrance_n to_o their_o baptism_n be_v more_o require_v to_o their_o baptism_n than_o to_o their_o salvation_n to_o the_o mean_n than_o to_o the_o end_n §_o 9_o but_o to_o make_v short_a work_n where_o or_o by_o who_o be_v faith_n require_v of_o infant_n in_o their_o own_o person_n to_o render_v they_o capable_a of_o baptism_n what_o one_o text_n be_v there_o in_o all_o the_o bible_n that_o say_v either_o in_o particular_a that_o infant_n shall_v not_o be_v baptize_v because_o they_o believe_v not_o or_o in_o general_a that_o no_o person_n whatsoever_o whether_o capable_a or_o incapable_a of_o believe_v shall_v be_v baptize_v but_o those_o that_o believe_v let_v the_o adversary_n of_o infant_n baptism_n produce_v the_o place_n and_o the_o controversy_n i_o believe_v will_v quick_o be_v end_v we_o all_o paedobaptist_n will_v ready_o yield_v all_o that_o shall_v of_o right_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v yield_v to_o it_o or_o unto_o they_o from_o it_o but_o if_o the_o scripture_n say_v no_o such_o thing_n either_o in_o word_n or_o in_o sense_n then_o for_o aught_o that_o as_o yet_o appear_v our_o infant_n will_v be_v capable_a of_o baptism_n though_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v §_o 10._o why_o but_o do_v not_o our_o saviour_n say_v in_o mark_n 16._o 16._o he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v shall_v be_v save_v but_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v §_o 11._o yes_o and_o what_o then_o must_v not_o therefore_o our_o infant_n be_v baptize_v because_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v or_o not_o till_o they_o believe_v no_o such_o matter_n what_o be_v here_o say_v that_o make_v believe_v a_o condition_n necessary_o antecedent_n unto_o baptism_n it_o be_v neither_o say_v negative_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v not_o be_v baptize_v nor_o so_o much_o as_o affirmative_o he_o that_o believe_v shall_v be_v baptize_v but_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v be_v make_v condition_n not_o the_o one_o of_o the_o other_o but_o both_o of_o be_v save_v and_o now_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n what_o be_v here_o that_o can_v possible_o exclude_v infant_n from_o baptise_v for_o want_v of_o believe_v §_o 12._o yea_o but_o believe_v be_v set_v before_o baptise_v he_o do_v not_o say_v he_o that_o be_v baptize_v and_o believe_v but_o he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v shall_v be_v save_v and_o what_o then_o why_o then_o believe_v must_v go_v before_o baptise_v and_o none_o must_v be_v baptize_v but_o those_o that_o first_o believe_v §_o 13._o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o the_o order_n of_o thing_n must_v universal_o answer_v to_o that_o order_n of_o word_n wherein_o the_o scripture_n set_v they_o down_o than_o repentance_n which_o be_v a_o fruit_n of_o lucifer_n quomodo_fw-la aget_fw-la poenitentiam_fw-la homo_fw-la qui_fw-la necdum_fw-la credit_n d._n hieron_n advers._fw-la lucifer_n faith_n must_v go_v before_o faith_n who_o fruit_n it_o be_v because_o our_o saviour_n set_v repent_v before_o believe_v say_v first_o repent_v you_o and_o then_o believe_v the_o gospel_n mark_n 1._o 15._o then_o the_o outward_a baptism_n of_o water_n must_v always_o go_v before_o the_o inward_a baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n because_o our_o saviour_n say_v except_o a_o man_n be_v bear_v first_o of_o water_n and_o then_o of_o the_o spirit_n he_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n john_n 3._o 5._o whereas_o the_o contrary_a hereto_o fall_v out_o in_o the_o family_n and_o company_n of_o cornelius_n act_v 10._o 44._o which_o draw_v from_o peter_n that_o question_n in_o ver_fw-la 47._o can_v any_o man_n forbid_v water_n that_o these_o shall_v not_o be_v baptize_v who_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o well_o as_o we_o then_o the_o ruler_n in_o luke_n 18._o 22._o must_v have_v give_v nothing_o to_o the_o poor_a till_o he_o have_v sell_v all_o he_o have_v because_o our_o saviour_n say_v first_o set_v all_o that_o thou_o have_v and_o then_o distribute_v to_o the_o poor_a §_o 14._o but_o to_o show_v the_o weakness_n of_o this_o way_n of_o argue_v it_o may_v be_v prove_v by_o this_o same_o argument_n and_o from_o the_o same_o text_n that_o infant_n ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v and_o then_o let_v they_o judge_v what_o strength_n there_o be_v in_o this_o way_n of_o argue_v for_o as_o our_o saviour_n set_v believe_v before_o baptise_v so_o he_o set_v baptise_v before_o be_v save_v and_o if_o none_o must_v be_v baptize_v but_o he_o that_o believe_v because_o believe_v be_v set_v first_o then_o none_o must_v be_v save_v but_o he_o that_o be_v baptize_v because_o baptise_v be_v set_v first_o and_o than_o what_o better_a argument_n can_v be_v make_v for_o infant_n baptism_n they_o must_v be_v baptize_v if_o we_o will_v have_v they_o save_v because_o they_o can_v be_v save_v without_o be_v baptize_v for_o baptise_v go_v before_o save_v and_o yet_o from_o the_o same_o text_n and_o by_o the_o same_o way_n of_o a_o gue_a it_o may_v be_v prove_v contrary_a to_o what_o the_o anabaptist_n say_v of_o the_o universal_a salvation_n of_o all_o infant_n die_v before_o the_o commission_n of_o actual_a sin_n that_o no_o infant_n be_v save_v but_o those_o that_o believe_v because_o believe_v be_v set_v before_o be_v save_v and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o whereas_o it_o be_v not_o say_v he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v not_o be_v baptize_v it_o be_v say_v he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v §_o 15._o and_o this_o may_v suffice_v to_o show_v though_o absurdity_n of_o this_o way_n of_o argue_v to_o the_o order_n of_o thing_n from_o the_o order_n of_o the_o word_n §_o 16._o as_o to_o the_o thing_n itself_o i_o think_v it_o will_v be_v grant_v they_o that_o in_o person_n capable_a of_o believe_v or_o disbelieve_v the_o gospel_n faith_n or_o at_o least_o a_o profession_n of_o it_o be_v to_o go_v before_o baptise_v §_o 17._o this_o we_o gather_v from_o the_o apostle_n baptise_v no_o adult_n person_n that_o we_o read_v of_o without_o some_o evidence_n give_v of_o their_o believe_v §_o 18._o
