right_a for_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o church_n practice_n 1._o i_o have_v already_o say_v enough_o about_o the_o apostle_n own_o practice_n and_o the_o church_n in_o their_o day_n 2._o the_o

of_o their_o proceed_n therein_o 1._o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o church_n do_v ever_o baptise_v into_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o as_o i_o have_v prove_v before_o the_o voluntary_a seek_n and_o reception_n of_o that_o baptism_n contain_v the_o actual_a profession_n of_o save_a faith_n 2._o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o person_n to_o be_v baptise_v if_o at_o age_n do_v profess_v to_o believe_v in_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n 3._o it_o be_v also_o certain_a that_o they_o do_v profess_v to_o renounce_v the_o flesh_n the_o world_n and_o the_o devil_n 4._o and_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o they_o promise_v for_o the_o future_a to_o live_v in_o new_a obedience_n and_o thus_o they_o public_o enter_v the_o three_o stipulation_n credis_fw-la credo_fw-la abrenuncias_fw-la abrenuncio_fw-la spondes_fw-la spondeo_fw-la do_v thou_o believe_v i_o believe_v do_v thou_o renounce_v i_o renounce_v do_v thou_o promise_v i_o promise_v it_o be_v the_o constant_a doctrine_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o church_n then_o that_o faith_n and_o repentance_n give_v in_o vocation_n do_v go_v first_o and_o that_o justification_n adoption_n and_o sanctification_n follow_v after_o and_o so_o they_o take_v this_o justify_v faith_n and_o repentance_n to_o be_v prerequisite_a to_o baptism_n therefore_o they_o ever_o require_v before_o hand_n whether_o they_o believe_v in_o god_n the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o renounce_v the_o flesh_n the_o world_n and_o the_o devil_n as_o be_v aforesaid_a and_o cause_v they_o to_o profess_v this_o before_o they_o will_v baptise_v they_o and_o as_o it_o be_v true_a of_o the_o ancient_a church_n that_o they_o never_o baptise_v any_o without_o the_o profession_n of_o save_a faith_n and_o repentance_n so_o it_o be_v true_a of_o all_o the_o christian_a church_n in_o the_o world_n that_o i_o can_v hear_v of_o to_o this_o day_n the_o papist_n themselves_o do_v use_v the_o same_o word_n in_o baptism_n as_o

to_o salvation_n but_o no_o man_n make_v this_o profession_n that_o profess_v not_o save_v faith_n and_o repentance_n therefore_o no_o man_n that_o profess_v not_o save_v faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v true_o a_o disciple_n of_o christ_n the_o major_a be_v evident_a in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o relation_n the_o minor_a be_v as_o evident_a in_o that_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o save_a faith_n and_o repentance_n to_o forsake_v other_o teacher_n and_o to_o take_v christ_n for_o our_o sole_a or_o chief_a teacher_n in_o order_n to_o salvation_n 2._o no_o man_n be_v true_o a_o christian_n that_o profess_v not_o to_o take_v christ_n for_o his_o lord_n and_o king_n forsake_v his_o enemy_n but_o no_o man_n do_v this_o but_o the_o professor_n of_o a_o save_a faith_n therefore_o etc._n etc._n 3._o no_o man_n be_v a_o true_a christian_n that_o profess_v not_o to_o take_v christ_n for_o his_o redeemer_n who_o have_v make_v propitiation_n for_o sin_n by_o his_o blood_n and_o to_o esteem_v his_o blood_n as_o the_o ransom_n for_o sinner_n and_o to_o trust_v therein_o but_o none_o do_v this_o but_o the_o professor_n of_o save_a faith_n therefore_o none_o else_o be_v christian_n the_o major_a of_o all_o these_o three_o argument_n be_v further_o prove_v thus_o no_o man_n be_v profess_o a_o christian_n that_o profess_v not_o to_o accept_v of_o christ_n as_o christ_n or_o to_o believe_v in_o christ_n as_o christ_n but_o no_o man_n do_v profess_v to_o take_v christ_n as_o christ_n that_o profess_v not_o to_o take_v or_o accept_v he_o as_o his_o priest_n teacher_n and_o king_n therefore_o etc._n etc._n the_o major_n be_v plain_a in_o itself_o the_o minor_a be_v as_o plain_a it_o be_v essential_a to_o christ_n to_o be_v the_o priest_n prophet_n and_o king_n and_o from_o these_o essential_n relate_v to_o we_o and_o accept_v by_o we_o do_v our_o own_o denomination_n of_o christian_n arise_v and_o that_o a_o bare_a assent_n without_o acceptance_n do_v not_o

defective_a in_o the_o assent_a part_n about_o the_o essential_n of_o its_o object_n serve_v not_o to_o denominate_v a_o man_n just_o a_o christian_a than_o a_o faith_n defective_a in_o the_o consent_v or_o accept_v part_n above_o the_o essential_n of_o the_o object_n serve_v not_o to_o denominate_v a_o man_n a_o christian_a but_o the_o antecedent_n be_v true_a therefore_o so_o be_v the_o
