the_o question_n propose_v in_o the_o remark_n what_o more_o peculiar_a duty_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n can_v baptism_n oblige_v we_o to_o and_o to_o put_v the_o matter_n if_o possible_a out_o of_o

and_o declarative_a dedication_n and_o according_o will_v persuade_v we_o that_o the_o convocation_n only_o design_v the_o latter_a partly_o because_o they_o refer_v to_o the_o word_n use_v in_o the_o service_n book_n when_o the_o child_n be_v cross_v partly_o because_o they_o suppose_v the_o child_n dedicate_v by_o baptism_n before_o and_o suppose_v baptism_n complete_a without_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n but_o i_o see_v not_o that_o either_o of_o these_o reason_n warrant_v we_o to_o take_v the_o word_n of_o the_o convocation_n in_o so_o very_o strain_v and_o improper_a a_o sense_n as_o this_o be_v viz._n that_o when_o they_o affirm_v the_o cross_n to_o be_v a_o lawful_a outward_a ceremony_n and_o honourable_a badge_n whereby_o the_o infant_n be_v dedicate_v to_o the_o service_n of_o he_o that_o die_v on_o the_o cross_n they_o shall_v mean_v no_o more_o than_o that_o it_o be_v a_o lawful_a outward_a ceremony_n and_o honourable_a badge_n to_o declare_v that_o the_o infant_n have_v be_v dedicate_v to_o christ_n by_o another_o outward_a ceremony_n and_o honourable_a badge_n before_o for_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o word_n use_v when_o the_o child_n be_v sign_v with_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n do_v as_o full_o and_o direct_o express_v a_o proper_a immediate_a dedication_n as_o the_o word_n use_v when_o it_o be_v baptise_a and_o therefore_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n from_o they_o to_o apply_v so_o unusual_a and_o odd_a a_o sense_n to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o canon_n and_o the_o convocation_n suppose_v baptism_n complete_a without_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n do_v no_o way_n argue_v that_o they_o design_v not_o a_o proper_a renew_v dedication_n by_o the_o cross_n for_o though_o we_o be_v dedicate_v by_o baptism_n yet_o we_o proper_o renew_v that_o
