christ_n wash_v and_o sanctify_v his_o church_n &_o he_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o his_o body_n only_o and_o if_o they_o be_v not_o of_o his_o church_n or_o body_n he_o wash_v they_o not_o nor_o be_v

according_a to_o the_o promise_n you_o must_v also_o require_v the_o same_o of_o they_o to_o save_v they_o from_o damnation_n by_o the_o threaten_v do_v you_o but_o leave_v christian_n no_o more_o

consider_v that_o hypocrite_n be_v visible_o what_o they_o be_v not_o real_o and_o invisible_o because_o they_o false_o profess_v what_o they_o have_v not_o but_o a_o condemn_a infant_n do_v not_o

this_o demonstration_n of_o divine_a love_n will_v be_v a_o disadvantage_n to_o their_o love_n to_o god_n for_o where_o much_o be_v forgive_v there_o will_v be_v much_o love_n 3._o it_o will_v deprive_v christian_a parent_n of_o all_o the_o forementioned_a comfort_n for_o their_o child_n good_a and_o leave_v they_o to_o mourn_v for_o the_o dead_a as_o those_o that_o have_v no_o hope_n which_o any_o promise_n of_o god_n allow_v they_o 4._o parent_n will_v be_v more_o negligent_a in_o the_o pious_a education_n of_o their_o child_n than_o they_o be_v for_o their_o solemn_a vow_n and_o

to_o the_o contrary_a and_o they_o will_v usual_o delay_v their_o repentance_n and_o baptism_n as_o constantine_n and_o many_o in_o those_o time_n do_v as_o think_v that_o all_o sin_n be_v do_v away_o when_o i_o repent_v and_o be_o baptise_a but_o it_o be_v more_o dangerous_a to_o sin_n after_o baptism_n than_o before_o and_o so_o most_o will_v think_v it_o best_o to_o live_v out_o of_o the_o church_n and_o to_o die_v in_o it_o to_o live_v as_o infidel_n and_o die_v as_o christian_n to_o live_v after_o the_o flesh_n as_o do_v the_o wicked_a and_o to_o be_v regenerate_v before_o death_n and_o to_o die_v the_o death_n of_o the_o righteous_a 6._o these_o delay_n will_v do_v as_o delay_n of_o repentance_n now_o do_v to_o many_o even_o drive_v away_o god_n spirit_n forfeit_a grace_n harden_v the_o heart_n so_o that_o few_o delayer_n will_v be_v convert_v 7._o by_o these_o delay_n of_o repentance_n and_o liberty_n of_o sin_n wickedness_n will_v more_o abound_v and_o so_o god_n judgement_n against_o the_o land_n be_v more_o increase_v 8._o pagan_n and_o infidel_n will_v be_v harden_v and_o encourage_v by_o the_o multitude_n of_o the_o unbaptised_a and_o the_o paucity_n of_o
