the_o babe_n a_o certain_a assurance_n of_o salvation_n and_o keep_v it_o in_o the_o interim_n under_o a_o suspicion_n of_o damnation_n and_o this_o also_o according_a to_o his_o own_o persuasion_n for_o as_o he_o deny_v it_o christendom_n so_o also_o he_o will_v deny_v it_o christian_a burial_n if_o it_o die_v unbaptise_v though_o by_o the_o way_n i_o see_v no_o great_a reason_n for_o it_o nor_o can_v i_o approve_v of_o it_o but_o so_o it_o be_v appoint_v viz._n that_o the_o office_n of_o the_o dead_a shall_v nor_o be_v use_v for_o any_o who_o die_v unbaptise_v and_o why_o not_o use_v because_o they_o have_v no_o sure_a and_o certain_a hope_n of_o a_o resurrection_n unto_o life_n concern_v such_o a_o person_n and_o therefore_o the_o unbaptised_a in_o that_o order_n be_v rank_v with_o self-murderer_n and_o excommunicate_a but_o now_o shall_v a_o minister_n dare_v to_o withhold_v so_o much_o good_a from_o and_o endeavour_v so_o much_o evil_n to_o the_o soul_n of_o poor_a infant_n in_o deny_v they_o their_o christendom_n and_o all_o mere_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o some_o accessory_n and_o scruple_v accident_n invent_v and_o impose_v by_o man_n and_o nothing_o at_o all_o of_o the_o essence_n of_o baptisin_n itself_o beside_o the_o impiety_n and_o irreligion_n of_o such_o a_o process_n the_o minister_n according_a to_o his_o own_o faith_n will_v be_v most_o cruel_a and_o unmerciful_a in_o so_o do_v and_o deserve_v if_o possible_a to_o be_v unchristened_a himself_o again_o and_o turn_v among_o cannibal_n as_o one_o more_o deep_o dip_v and_o baptize_v in_o their_o barbarous_a inhumanity_n than_o any_o of_o themselves_o and_o yet_o if_o he_o be_v a_o true_a son_n of_o the_o church_n and_o punctual_o observe_v his_o prescribe_a rule_n he_o must_v not_o baptize_v any_o infant_n without_o godfather_n and_o godmother_n without_o sign_v of_o it_o with_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n whether_o it_o be_v save_v or_o damn_v but_o these_o thing_n be_v hard_a to_o assent_v and_o consent_n unto_o and_o i_o can_v do_v it_o 3._o i_o can_v approve_v of_o the_o order_n for_o the_o burial_n of_o the_o dead_a particular_o that_o passage_n of_o it_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o have_v please_v god_n of_o his_o great_a mercy_n to_o take_v unto_o himself_o the_o soul_n of_o our_o dear_a brother_n here_o depart_v we_o therefore_o commit_v his_o body_n to_o the_o ground_n etc._n etc._n my_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o though_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o judge_n according_a to_o the_o utmost_a bound_n of_o charity_n concern_v all_o yea_o even_o of_o those_o with_o who_o we_o will_v not_o change_v soul_n nor_o be_v in_o their_o condition_n after_o death_n for_o ten_o thousand_o world_n yet_o positive_o and_o peremptory_o without_o all_o limitation_n or_o discrimination_n to_o say_v and_o avouch_v concern_v every_o one_o who_o we_o bury_v that_o god_n in_o great_a mercy_n have_v take_v his_o soul_n viz._n by_o death_n out_o of_o the_o body_n and_o take_v it_o to_o himself_o this_o i_o profess_v be_v utter_o beyond_o my_o faith_n and_o of_o the_o gospel_n also_o which_o if_o i_o understand_v aright_o speak_v altogether_o in_o another_o language_n to_o impenitent_a sinner_n it_o be_v past_a contradiction_n that_o thousand_o be_v cut_v off_o by_o god_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o their_o sin_n drunkenness_n whore_v swear_v without_o all_o sign_n of_o repentance_n from_o first_o to_o last_o so_o live_v and_o so_o die_v now_o how_o can_v it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n take_v away_o such_o person_n out_o of_o this_o world_n by_o death_n in_o mercy_n in_o great_a mercy_n inasmuch_o as_o at_o the_o same_o instant_n they_o be_v take_v away_o from_o all_o possibility_n of_o future_a repentance_n and_o amendment_n of_o life_n we_o may_v rather_o fear_v that_o god_n take_v they_o away_o in_o wrath_n in_o great_a wrath_n provoke_v hereunto_o by_o the_o long_a abuse_n of_o his_o patience_n and_o their_o own_o impenitency_n yet_o nevertheless_o the_o priest_n must_v not_o only_o say_v that_o god_n take_v away_o all_o such_o person_n in_o mercy_n in_o great_a mercy_n but_o moreover_o positive_o affirm_v that_o god_n take_v they_o to_o himself_o that_o be_v into_o heaven_n if_o we_o believe_v the_o lords-prayer_n our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n there_o god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o a_o most_o eminent_a manner_n scripture_n say_v express_o that_o neither_o adulterer_n nor_o fornicator_n nor_o drunkard_n shall_v ever_o go_v to_o heaven_n yet_o in_o a_o perfect_a opposition_n when_o i_o bury_v a_o know_a adulterer_n fornicator_n drunkard_n i_o must_v declare_v and_o avouch_v that_o his_o soul_n be_v assure_o go_v thither_o i_o dare_v not_o thus_o damn_v a_o person_n while_o he_o be_v live_v and_o yet_o save_v he_o when_o he_o be_v dead_a nor_o yet_o again_o can_v i_o commit_v his_o body_n to_o the_o ground_n in_o a_o sure_a and_o certain_a hope_n of_o a_o resurrection_n unto_o eternal_a life_n which_o word_n must_v necessary_o be_v speak_v with_o reference_n to_o the_o person_n then_o inter_v inasmuch_o as_o they_o be_v the_o continuation_n of_o the_o forego_n declaration_n viz._n god_n take_v his_o soul_n to_o himself_o beside_o it_o follow_v which_o put_v it_o out_o of_o doubt_n in_o the_o last_o collect_n or_o prayer_n that_o when_o we_o shall_v depart_v this_o life_n we_o may_v rest_v in_o he_o viz._n christ_n as_o our_o hope_n be_v this_o our_o brother_n do_v alas_o i_o be_o so_o far_o from_o have_v any_o sure_a and_o certain_a hope_n of_o his_o resurrection_n unto_o eternal_a life_n and_o salvation_n that_o i_o rather_o have_v a_o sure_a and_o certain_a fear_n of_o his_o resurrection_n unto_o eternal_a death_n and_o damnation_n madam_n these_o be_v some_o of_o my_o objection_n against_o the_o first_o declaration_n which_o stop_v up_o my_o way_n from_o conform_v your_o most_o humble_a servant_n a._n b._n
