the_o sheep_n of_o christ_n pasture_n a_o royal_a priesthood_n a_o peculiar_a people_n indeed_o to_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n glory_n amen_n these_o thing_n be_v in_o your_o morning_n service_n as_o

the_o beginning_n live_v praise_n from_o a_o live_a sense_n of_o what_o god_n have_v do_v for_o their_o soul_n be_v give_v to_o god_n and_o as_o it_o be_v then_o so_o it_o be_v at_o this_o day_n by_o the_o live_a member_n of_o christ_n heavenly_a body_n as_o be_v say_v before_o and_o ever_o shall_v be_v by_o such_o save_v one_o but_o the_o strange_a child_n will_v dissemble_v as_o they_o do_v at_o this_o day_n the_o next_o thing_n i_o may_v take_v notice_n of_o as_o a_o thing_n of_o concernment_n because_o it_o be_v as_o the_o very_a door_n and_o inlet_a into_o your_o defile_a congregation_n and_o it_o be_v that_o your_o sprinkle_v which_o you_o call_v baptise_v of_o infant_n which_o be_v so_o unscriptural_a and_o corrupt_a a_o custom_n both_o for_o matter_n and_o manner_n that_o the_o

tender_a age_n they_o can_v perform_v they_o your_o answer_n be_v yes_o they_o do_v perform_v they_o by_o their_o surety_n and_o then_o you_o bring_v in_o your_o surety_n which_o very_o unchristian_o you_o call_v godfather_n and_o godmother_n to_o promise_v and_o vow_v such_o thing_n for_o the_o child_n as_o you_o never_o do_v to_o this_o day_n do_v for_o yourselves_o that_o be_v to_o forsake_v the_o devil_n and_o all_o his_o work_n etc._n etc._n but_o i_o ask_v who_o have_v require_v this_o at_o your_o hand_n that_o you_o shall_v so_o promise_v for_o they_o certain_o god_n never_o require_v

which_o of_o yourselves_o you_o have_v no_o power_n to_o do_v for_o yourselves_o and_o also_o because_o he_o know_v it_o be_v against_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o only_a surety_n undertaker_n and_o mediator_n betwixt_o god_n and_o man._n and_o certain_o if_o you_o and_o your_o teacher_n be_v not_o utter_o give_v up_o to_o darkness_n you_o can_v never_o adventure_v your_o soul_n in_o such_o a_o thing_n for_o now_o it_o be_v well_o know_v among_o man_n what_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o surety_n be_v for_o he_o be_v liable_a to_o pay_v the_o debt_n if_o the_o

of_o forsake_v the_o devil_n and_o all_o his_o work_n pomp_n and_o vanity_n of_o the_o evil_a world_n and_o all_o the_o sinful_a desire_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o see_v that_o the_o wage_n reward_n

never_o undertake_v it_o and_o so_o never_o as_o yet_o bring_v itself_o under_o the_o actual_a and_o personal_a engagement_n for_o the_o debt_n o_o consider_v consider_v this_o be_v a_o mere_a mock_v of_o god_n but_o god_n will_v not_o be_v mock_v for_o if_o you_o repent_v not_o of_o this_o and_o all_o your_o other_o sin_n he_o will_v vex_v you_o in_o his_o wrath._n and_o then_o for_o that_o

for_o such_o judgement_n for_o regeneration_n be_v such_o a_o worthy_a work_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o soul_n that_o it_o can_v be_v do_v but_o though_o the_o incorruptible_a seed_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o live_v and_o endure_v for_o ever_o in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n but_o these_o bold_a and_o blind_a teacher_n rush_v like_o the_o horse_n into_o the_o battle_n be_v not_o afraid_a to_o

this_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o high_a presumption_n to_o father_n that_o upon_o the_o pure_a and_o holy_a god_n which_o he_o never_o promise_v to_o do_v by_o such_o a_o mean_n upon_o such_o a_o
