that_o prayer_n to_o give_v a_o reason_n of_o this_o different_a work_n why_o grace_n be_v bestow_v on_o some_o present_o at_o baptism_n in_o other_o it_o be_v defer_v till_o a_o long_a time_n after_o

of_o sin_n what_o shall_v hinder_v why_o they_o may_v not_o be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o part_n whilst_o they_o live_v and_o perfect_o upon_o the_o sever_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o

as_o before_o when_o yet_o all_o grant_v the_o salvation_n of_o infant_n for_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n inconceivable_a and_o inexplicable_a how_o infant_n shall_v have_v actual_a faith_n whilst_o they_o be_v not_o yet_o able_a to_o exercise_v any_o one_o faculty_n of_o their_o reasonable_a soul_n the_o truth_n be_v that_o the_o habit_n of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n they_o have_v as_o of_o all_o other_o spiritual_a grace_n infuse_v into_o they_o which_o if_o they_o live_v will_v also_o appear_v by_o their_o actual_a operation_n but_o for_o that_o time_n they_o have_v not_o the_o act_n of_o

of_o they_o come_v between_o as_o a_o instrument_n to_o receive_v both_o if_o this_o may_v not_o be_v say_v touch_v such_o elect_a infant_n i_o must_v confess_v that_o unto_o i_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o salvation_n of_o their_o soul_n be_v as_o inscrutable_a as_o the_o fashion_v of_o their_o tender_a body_n in_o their_o mother_n womb_n and_o this_o which_o have_v be_v say_v of_o infant_n

that_o which_o be_v signify_v in_o baptism_n be_v our_o justification_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n our_o sanctification_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ._n baptism_n be_v the_o scale_n of_o

why_o these_o infant_n shall_v not_o also_o be_v wash_v with_o the_o water_n of_o the_o sacrament_n thereof_o if_o it_o be_v demand_v how_o we_o can_v presume_v that_o christian_a infant_n have_v a_o part_n in_o the_o grace_n of_o justification_n and_o sanctification_n i_o answer_v we_o have_v good_a warrant_n so_o to_o think_v from_o the_o covenant_n and_o promise_n of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v be_v the_o god_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o of_o their_o seed_n but_o for_o heathen_n and_o infidel_n we_o have_v no_o such_o promise_n whereon_o to_o ground_v our_o judgement_n of_o charity_n and_o therefore_o albeit_o some_o of_o they_o who_o be_v out_o of_o the_o church_n may_v be_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o god_n selection_n yet_o see_v god_n have_v exclude_v they_o by_o a_o apparent_a

death_n such_o a_o one_o be_v he_o infidel_n or_o bear_v of_o the_o most_o christian_a parent_n in_o the_o world_n we_o ought_v by_o no_o mean_n to_o baptize_v no_o more_o than_o we_o may_v admit_v of_o that_o person_n to_o come_v to_o the_o lord_n supper_n that_o have_v apparent_o sin_v against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o as_o the_o church_n do_v with_o such_o as_o be_v just_o excommunicate_v who_o for_o the_o time_n of_o their_o open_a inpenitencie_n declare_v themselves_o public_o to_o have_v no_o faith_n nor_o part_n in_o christ._n for_o it_o be_v a_o manifest_a mockery_n and_o abuse_n of_o this_o sacred_a institution_n to_o apply_v this_o seal_n to_o a_o blank_a and_o to_o dip_v they_o in_o the_o water_n of_o baptism_n who_o we_o know_v shall_v never_o be_v wash_v with_o the_o
