part_n of_o the_o discourse_n i_o can_v but_o note_v three_o thing_n which_o mr._n d._n be_v not_o please_v to_o advert_v unto_o first_o a_o acknowledgement_n that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v not_o want_v some_o good_a example_n in_o the_o best_a time_n to_o countenance_v her_o permission_n of_o sprinkle_v good_a example_n and_o in_o the_o best_a time_n be_v very_o material_a word_n for_o we_o and_o give_v we_o a_o antiquity_n as_o old_a and_o as_o good_a as_o we_o can_v desire_v and_o utter_o overthrow_v all_o that_o ever_o can_v be_v say_v against_o we_o especial_o on_o the_o

be_v make_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o by_o the_o manner_n of_o speech_n so_o make_v the_o mystery_n as_o if_o it_o be_v the_o only_a mystery_n of_o it_o our_o wash_n from_o sin_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o prime_a signification_n and_o mystery_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v pass_v by_o on_o no_o account_n that_o i_o know_v of_o unless_o because_o if_o that_o be_v either_o the_o whole_a or_o any_o part_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o sacrament_n that_o will_v hold_v analogy_n with_o sprinkle_v and_o so_o weaken_v the_o inference_n for_o dip_v three_o that_o whereas_o the_o immersion_n st._n chrysostom_n speak_v of_o be_v as_o far_o as_o his_o word_n will_v bear_v but_o a_o immersion_n or_o dip_v of_o the_o head_n caput_fw-la

of_o immersion_n under_o the_o water_n which_o be_v apt_a to_o carry_v away_o the_o mind_n to_o think_v of_o a_o total_a immersion_n of_o the_o whole_a man_n while_o it_o be_v but_o the_o head_n who_o

to_o a_o conclusion_n and_o therefore_o say_v mr._n d._n he_o conclude_v that_o the_o contrary_a custom_n be_v not_o only_o against_o ecclesiastical_a law_n but_o against_o the_o analogy_n and_o mystical_a signification_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o to_o be_v comply_v with_o §_o 63._o but_o why_o do_v mr._n d._n stop_v there_o and_o not_o do_v the_o doctor_n and_o the_o truth_n right_a in_o add_v the_o exception_n follow_v unless_o in_o such_o case_n that_o be_v of_o themselves_o sufficient_a to_o justify_v a_o liberty_n in_o a_o ritual_a and_o ceremony_n that_o be_v a_o case_n of_o necessity_n §_o 64._o to_o mr._n d._n i_o shall_v answer_v first_o that_o as_o i_o conceive_v the_o allowance_n of_o any_o such_o case_n or_o case_n be_v not_o consistent_a with_o his_o hypothesis_n and_o that_o the_o add_v of_o those_o word_n will_v have_v make_v the_o doctor_n be_v testimony_n unserviceable_a to_o his_o turn_n and_o therefore_o he_o think_v fit_a to_o leave_v they_o out_o with_o how_o great_a ingenuity_n i_o leave_v to_o his_o own_o judgement_n §_o 65._o then_o to_o the_o doctor_n i_o say_v first_o that_o the_o custom_n of_o sprinkle_v be_v not_o now_o against_o our_o ecclesiastical_a law_n which_o have_v prescribe_v dip_v or_o pour_v on_o of_o water_n indifferent_o in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o public_a baptism_n of_o person_n of_o ripe_a age_n and_o have_v appoint_v pour_v on_o of_o water_n in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o sick_a infant_n baptize_v private_o and_o have_v neither_o appoint_a dip_v nor_o sprinkle_v in_o the_o case_n of_o infant_n bring_v to_o public_a baptism_n but_o according_o as_o certification_n of_o their_o ability_n or_o inability_n to_o endure_v dip_v shall_v be_v make_v and_o then_o as_o to_o the_o analogy_n and_o mysterious_a signification_n of_o the_o sacrament_n that_o sprinkle_v or_o pour_v on_o of_o water_n be_v not_o against_o that_o but_o very_o agreeable_a with_o it_o i_o have_v show_v at_o large_a in_o the_o nine_o chapter_n of_o this_o book_n and_o shall_v further_o show_v in_o the_o sixteenth_o whither_o i_o refer_v the_o reader_n for_o his_o satisfaction_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o think_v i_o may_v conclude_v that_o the_o advantage_n which_o mr._n d._n have_v gain_v to_o his_o cause_n by_o this_o great_a man_n testimony_n signify_v as_o much_o as_o come_v to_o nothing_o §_o 66._o i_o wonder_v mr._n d._n slip_v what_o the_o doctor_n say_v in_o the_o close_a of_o his_o 15_o paragr_n p._n 646._o viz._n that_o because_o it_o be_v better_a to_o
