for_o this_o be_v extraordinary_a and_o beyond_o the_o part_n of_o a_o child_n that_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o 2_o yet_o in_o regard_n of_o god_n it_o be_v his_o ordinary_a course_n and_o certain_o he_o do_v work_v faith_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o elect_a infant_n that_o die_v in_o their_o infancy_n do_v not_o stumble_v that_o i_o use_v the_o phrase_n of_o ordinary_a and_o

there_o be_v a_o infusion_n of_o a_o spiritual_a principle_n into_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v beyond_o all_o the_o ability_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o any_o man_n to_o bring_v it_o into_o his_o own_o

into_o the_o soul_n so_o it_o be_v god_n ordinary_a way_n to_o put_v faith_n into_o a_o infant_n that_o be_v elect_v and_o die_v a_o infant_n as_o for_o instance_n there_o be_v many_o revelation_n of_o god_n every_o revelation_n be_v a_o revelation_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o it_o be_v according_a to_o the_o word_n now_o although_o it_o be_v extraordinary_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n reveal_v yet_o it_o be_v ordinary_a with_o god_n now_o this_o come_v to_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o cause_n therefore_o in_o this_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o do_v three_o thing_n 1_o to_o

it_o be_v like_o a_o unbeaten_a way_n to_o the_o seaman_n they_o must_v sound_v every_o part_n of_o it_o 1_o some_o think_v it_o be_v keep_v in_o his_o own_o secret_a will_n 2_o some_o think_v the_o

the_o question_n god_n do_v pour_v it_o into_o the_o soul_n and_o so_o the_o soul_n be_v convert_v and_o plant_v into_o christ_n as_o the_o head_n of_o the_o covenant_n this_o be_v the_o state_n of_o the_o controversy_n and_o this_o i_o shall_v labour_v to_o strengthen_v 2_o second_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v strange_a nor_o need_v not_o to_o be_v count_v hard_o to_o any_o judicious_a christian_a to_o assent_v to_o this_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o there_o be_v a_o work_n alike_o in_o a_o parity_n to_o that_o which_o be_v daily_o express_v in_o the_o course_n of_o god_n providence_n and_o be_v acknowledge_v by_o all_o judicious_a without_o doubt_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o why_o may_v he_o not_o do_v the_o like_a in_o this_o that_o there_o be_v a_o like_a work_n and_o that_o it_o be_v acknowledge_v appear_v thus_o it_o be_v a_o confess_a truth_n that_o the_o lord_n do_v infuse_v a_o soul_n into_o the_o body_n and_o the_o soul_n be_v pure_a and_o holy_a as_o it_o come_v from_o he_o otherwise_o god_n must_v be_v the_o author_n of_o sin_n yet_o through_o the_o sin_n and_o guilt_n of_o adam_n the_o soul_n be_v turn_v from_o god_n and_o be_v possess_v with_o original_a sin_n and_o so_o sin_n and_o guilt_n be_v impute_v and_o the_o curse_n just_o inflict_v and_o the_o soul_n be_v thus_o whole_o turn_v from_o god_n it_o be_v whole_o possess_v with_o original_a corruption_n it_o be_v a_o delusion_n to_o say_v the_o soul_n be_v propagate_v gen._n 5.3_o adam_n beg_v at_o a_o son_n in_o his_o own_o image_n be_v whole_o turn_v from_o god_n and_o turn_v to_o sin_n and_o john_n 3.6_o that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o flash_n be_v flesh_n all_o come_v from_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n now_o mark_v if_o this_o be_v so_o that_o the_o sin_n &_o guilt_n of_o adam_n be_v thus_o

of_o a_o child_n from_o sin_n to_o himself_o the_o party_n be_v the_o same_o as_o before_o and_o look_v to_o the_o cause_n and_o it_o be_v great_a in_o the_o latter_a then_o in_o the_o former_a if_o we_o look_v at_o christ_n there_o be_v a_o advantage_n in_o reason_n to_o believe_v the_o latter_a rather_o than_o the_o former_a and_o why_o shall_v it_o be_v think_v a_o thing_n incredible_a see_v the_o first_o adam_n can_v turn_v away_o the_o soul_n from_o god_n but_o that_o christ_n by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o merit_n may_v convert_v infant_n to_o himself_o and_o why_o then_o shall_v it_o be_v incredible_a now_o one_o of_o these_o be_v do_v from_o day_n to_o day_n and_o none_o doubt_v of_o it_o i_o mean_v the_o first_o and_o the_o second_o we_o have_v more_o advantage_n to_o believe_v because_o the_o second_o adam_n be_v above_o the_o first_o and_o why_o then_o shall_v not_o the_o second_o adam_n be_v as_o ready_o assent_v unto_o as_o the_o first_o but_o every_o man_n be_v force_v to_o yield_v the_o first_o that_o be_v judicious_a let_v we_o not_o doubt_v the_o second_o one_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v note_v in_o mr_n spilsbery_n book_n in_o the_o 12_o page_n 19_o line_n from_o the_o end_n where_o he_o say_v the_o word_n condemn_v none_o but_o for_o actual_a sin_n if_o he_o mean_v as_o he_o must_v needs_o do_v no_o man_n be_v condemn_v but_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o

be_v baptize_v etc._n etc._n but_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o etc._n etc._n and_o eph._n 5.26_o that_o he_o may_v sanctify_v it_o and_o cleanse_v it_o by_o water_n through_o the_o word_n 2._o the_o sacrament_n as_o instrument_n put_v forth_o a_o spiritual_a efficacy_n when_o they_o be_v lawful_o use_v according_a to_o god_n but_o not_o when_o they_o be_v abuse_v in_o a_o unlawful_a manner_n and_o unworthy_o receive_v then_o they_o do_v not_o put_v forth_o any_o spiritual_a efficacy_n thus_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n put_v forth_o spiritual_a efficacy_n when_o it_o be_v order_v in_o a_o lawful_a manner_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v be_v be_v not_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o cup_n of_o blessing_n be_v the_o same_o and_o yet_o be_v that_o receive_v be_v 〈◊〉_d worthy_o eat_v and_o drink_v his_o own_o damnation_n and_o make_v himself_o guilty_a of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n because_o he_o abuse_v the_o seal_n he_o that_o abuse_v the_o king_n seal_n be_v punish_v and_o therefore_o much_o more_o these_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n but_o it_o must_v be_v mix_v with_o faith_n and_o then_o it_o be_v the_o savour_n of_o life_n unto_o life_n but_o without_o it_o be_v the_o savour_n of_o death_n unto_o death_n and_o so_o be_v the_o sacrament_n therefore_o when_o a_o thing_n be_v lawful_o do_v it_o be_v no_o sin_n but_o if_o it_o be_v abuse_v than_o it_o be_v sinful_a therefore_o that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v abuse_v it_o be_v from_o sin_n but_o the_o spiritual_a work_n of_o a_o sacrament_n help_v forward_o to_o salvation_n 3_o the_o spiritual_a efficacy_n a_o sacrament_n put_v forth_o be_v not_o as_o a_o physical_a instrument_n but_o as_o a_o moral_a i_o put_v it_o in_o these_o term_n that_o i_o may_v clear_v it_o up_o in_o their_o term_n which_o they_o use_v which_o darken_v the_o truth_n now_o see_v the_o explication_n instrument_n be_v of_o a_o double_a nature_n some_o have_v quality_n inherent_a that_o be_v stick_v in_o they_o by_o nature_n as_o some_o physical_a herb_n be_v of_o a_o purge_a nature_n other_o comfortable_a they_o have_v it_o in_o their_o nature_n put_v into_o they_o so_o to_o work_v and_o it_o abide_v in_o they_o but_o other_o be_v make_v serviceable_a by_o art_n they_o be_v make_v sharp_a or_o sweet_a or_o in_o tool_n some_o be_v make_v sharp_a fit_a for_o use_v as_o a_o bone_n will_v not_o cut_v our_o bread_n but_o we_o must_v have_v something_o make_v sharp_a so_o thing_n be_v make_v physical_a either_o by_o nature_n or_o by_o art_n the_o papist_n call_v it_o physical_a in_o the_o sacrament_n they_o say_v the_o sacrament_n work_v natural_o if_o take_v they_o have_v a_o quality_n to_o convey_v grace_n the_o sacrament_n take_v they_o say_v will_v work_v of_o itself_o but_o it_o be_v a_o gross_a conceit_n to_o satisfy_v a_o carnal_a heart_n then_o a_o drunken_a wretch_n must_v have_v grace_n if_o he_o can_v but_o have_v the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n thus_o the_o papist_n derogate_v from_o christ_n by_o make_v a_o quality_n to_o be_v inherent_a in_o the_o sacrament_n to_o convey_v grace_n into_o any_o man_n that_o receive_v they_o the_o 2_o distinction_n be_v they_o be_v moral_o good_a as_o some_o instrument_n that_o have_v no_o power_n of_o themselves_o but_o as_o they_o be_v state_v by_o way_n of_o ordination_n as_o he_o that_o use_v they_o do_v appoint_v they_o as_o a_o piece_n of_o wax_n be_v appoint_v to_o seal_v up_o a_o bargain_n the_o wax_n convey_v nothing_o it_o be_v appoint_v to_o

it_o be_v a_o sign_n to_o intimate_v that_o god_n will_v be_v with_o he_o so_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n be_v appoint_v of_o god_n for_o the_o people_n that_o be_v sting_v by_o look_v on_o it_o they_o shall_v be_v heal_v there_o be_v no_o virtue_n in_o the_o brass_n to_o heal_v they_o for_o afterward_o in_o he●●ekiahs_n day_n he_o call_v it_o nehushtan_n a_o piece_n of_o brass_n but_o by_o god_n institution_n god_n use_v it_o as_o a_o mean_n to_o work_v by_o but_o the_o virtue_n be_v in_o himself_o there_o be_v no_o inherent_a virtue_n in_o the_o brass_n but_o god_n appoint_v it_o for_o this_o end_n as_o a_o moral_a instrument_n 4_o when_o the_o sacrament_n be_v thus_o take_v for_o such_o a_o end_n and_o to_o such_o a_o work_n there_o be_v a_o divine_a virtue_n go_v along_o with_o they_o for_o that_o end_n the_o same_o power_n that_o do_v appoint_v they_o will_v go_v along_o with_o they_o and_o will_v work_v in_o they_o for_o that_o end_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n in_o the_o institution_n of_o they_o 1_o god_n appoint_v they_o out_o according_a to_o his_o will_n in_o wisdom_n and_o power_n the_o bread_n signify_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n as_o meat_n the_o water_n signify_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n wash_v a_o way_n the_o guilt_n and_o filth_n of_o our_o sin_n the_o wisdom_n and_o good_a pleasure_n of_o god_n go_v along_o with_o they_o for_o that_o end_n 2_o they_o be_v seal_n of_o god_n engagement_n to_o man_n that_o be_v signify_v by_o these_o his_o faithfulness_n and_o truth_n always_o go_v with_o it_o rom._n 4._o it_o be_v call_v the_o seal_n of_o

of_o god_n go_v along_o with_o this_o ordinance_n to_o see_v it_o do_v matth._n 3_o 11._o he_o shall_v baptize_v you_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n etc._n etc._n and_o rom._n 2.29_o that_o be_v

it_o &_o carry_v it_o to_o the_o understanding_n it_o signify_v all_o spiritual_a good_a to_o the_o understanding_n to_o a_o man_n that_o worthy_o receive_v it_o it_o carry_v it_o sacramental_o so_o as_o it_o be_v plain_a no_o man_n can_v institute_v a_o sacrament_n to_o have_v the_o good_a of_o it_o as_o the_o seal_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n must_v make_v good_a god_n engagement_n so_o as_o the_o heart_n can_v get_v away_o from_o the_o goodness_n 3_o the_o sacrament_n exhibit_v grace_n so_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n go_v along_o with_o it_o and_o see_v it_o accomplish_v thus_o they_o be_v the_o same_o with_o we_o for_o they_o and_o we_o comunicate_v the_o virtue_n of_o it_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v of_o force_n as_o under_o the_o

the_o main_a worker_n be_v the_o spirit_n all_o be_v possible_a to_o he_o he_o can_v secret_o do_v it_o to_o a_o child_n he_o be_v not_o confine_v to_o our_o work_n he_o can_v overshadow_v the_o
