and_o final_o can_v they_o do_v what_o in_o they_o lie_v to_o have_v he_o confirm_v and_o so_o to_o discharge_v they_o by_o take_v the_o obligation_n upon_o himself_o sure_o there_o be_v nothing_o of_o impossibility_n in_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n and_o yet_o these_o be_v the_o chief_a thing_n that_o be_v give_v in_o charge_n to_o the_o surety_n but_o 3._o say_v some_o why_o shall_v not_o the_o parent_n rather_o than_o other_o be_v oblige_v to_o undertake_v these_o thing_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o parent_n be_v already_o oblige_v both_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o nature_n to_o take_v care_n of_o their_o child_n soul_n and_o body_n and_o there_o can_v be_v no_o great_a obligation_n lay_v upon_o they_o by_o require_v a_o solemn_a promise_n from_o they_o and_o therefore_o as_o a_o reverend_n and_o learned_a bishop_n of_o our_o church_n observe_v the_o church_n intention_n in_o have_v surety_n be_v not_o to_o supercede_v the_o obligation_n of_o parent_n but_o to_o superinduce_v a_o far_a obligation_n upon_o other_o for_o great_a security_n of_o performance_n or_o as_o another_o have_v express_v it_o the_o church_n think_v fit_a to_o lay_v the_o charge_n upon_o other_o not_o to_o exclude_v or_o excuse_v the_o parent_n care_v but_o to_o be_v join_v with_o they_o in_o the_o more_o certain_a and_o easy_a accomplishment_n of_o so_o pious_a a_o work_n but_o 4._o say_v some_o how_o can_v surety_n declare_v in_o the_o child_n name_n that_o he_o do_v renounce_v the_o devil_n and_o all_o his_o work_n etc._n etc._n and_o that_o he_o do_v believe_v in_o god_n or_o how_o can_v they_o promise_v that_o the_o child_n shall_v serve_v he_o since_o we_o find_v it_o so_o hard_a a_o matter_n to_o do_v these_o thing_n ourselves_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o these_o word_n of_o the_o baptismal_a vow_n be_v not_o direct_o word_n of_o promise_n oblige_v the_o surety_n to_o performance_n but_o expression_n of_o contract_n relate_v to_o the_o infant_n and_o declare_v to_o what_o duty_n he_o be_v oblige_v by_o his_o baptism_n which_o be_v no_o other_o than_o what_o every_o one_o of_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v as_o i_o have_v already_o show_v who_o expect_v to_o be_v save_v in_o the_o second_o place_n it_o be_v indeed_o more_o than_o we_o know_v whether_o the_o child_n when_o he_o come_v to_o year_n of_o discretion_n will_v perform_v those_o thing_n which_o at_o his_o baptism_n be_v promise_v in_o his_o name_n but_o then_o do_v not_o the_o same_o objection_n lie_v against_o those_o who_o oppose_v we_o in_o this_o matter_n for_o be_v it_o not_o altogether_o as_o uncertain_a whether_o those_o parent_n who_o as_o they_o be_v enjoin_v by_o the_o presbyterian_a directory_n shall_v solemn_o promise_v to_o bring_v up_o their_o child_n in_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n and_o in_o the_o nurture_n and_o admonition_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o do_v it_o who_o know_v whether_o the_o incapacity_n or_o perverseness_n and_o obstinacy_n of_o the_o child_n admit_v that_o the_o parent_n be_v careful_a in_o the_o matter_n may_v not_o hinder_v the_o performance_n of_o their_o promise_n yea_o be_v it_o not_o altogether_o as_o uncertain_a whether_o those_o person_n who_o be_v not_o dip_v till_o they_o come_v to_o ripeness_n of_o year_n will_v conscientious_o observe_v and_o keep_v the_o covenant_n which_o they_o make_v then_o with_o god_n after_o their_o way_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o uncertainty_n on_o all_o hand_n it_o be_v fit_a all_o party_n shall_v promise_v those_o thing_n which_o it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o perform_v however_o we_o have_v the_o great_a encouragement_n to_o hope_v for_o the_o child_n well-doing_n because_o as_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n be_v put_v up_o unto_o god_n in_o his_o behalf_n that_o he_o may_v have_v power_n and_o strength_n to_o have_v victory_n and_o to_o triumph_v against_o the_o devil_n the_o world_n and_o the_o flesh_n so_o we_o have_v god_n promise_n that_o he_o will_v grant_v those_o thing_n which_o we_o ask_v faithful_o at_o his_o hand_n and_o therefore_o by_o the_o way_n this_o consideration_n shall_v oblige_v all_o people_n who_o be_v present_a at_o the_o ministration_n of_o baptism_n to_o put_v up_o their_o hearty_a prayer_n to_o god_n in_o behalf_n of_o those_o who_o be_v baptize_v and_o not_o to_o sit_v down_o or_o stand_v gaze_v about_o as_o if_o they_o be_v no_o way_n concern_v therein_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n therefore_o be_v put_v up_o to_o god_n in_o the_o child_n behalf_n and_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o hear_v our_o prayer_n if_o afterward_o the_o surety_n take_v care_n as_o they_o may_v do_v if_o they_o will_v when_o the_o child_n be_v come_v to_o year_n of_o discretion_n to_o let_v he_o know_v what_o they_o have_v promise_v for_o he_o and_o persuade_v he_o the_o best_a they_o can_v to_o be_v mindful_a thereof_o they_o have_v do_v their_o duty_n and_o they_o may_v reasonable_o expect_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n upon_o their_o endeavour_n but_o 5._o say_v some_o why_o shall_v any_o person_n be_v desire_v to_o take_v this_o charge_n upon_o they_o since_o it_o very_o often_o fall_v out_o that_o either_o the_o surety_n be_v remove_v at_o a_o great_a distance_n from_o the_o child_n or_o the_o child_n from_o they_o before_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o be_v instruct_v as_o they_o shall_v be_v so_o that_o the_o duty_n can_v possible_o be_v discharge_v according_a to_o promise_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v very_o certain_a these_o thing_n may_v and_o do_v happen_v very_o often_o and_o therefore_o all_o parent_n will_v do_v well_o to_o make_v choice_n of_o such_o surety_n as_o be_v inhabitant_n and_o not_o stranger_n or_o servant_n and_o such_o as_o have_v no_o settle_a place_n of_o abode_n unless_o they_o be_v know_v to_o be_v person_n religious_o incline_v who_o may_v take_v care_n though_o they_o live_v at_o some_o distance_n to_o discharge_v their_o duty_n but_o suppose_v that_o the_o circumstance_n of_o either_o party_n shall_v be_v such_o that_o there_o be_v a_o unavoidable_a necessity_n of_o remove_v from_o one_o another_o and_o that_o the_o thing_n can_v be_v do_v so_o well_o as_o if_o they_o continue_v still_o in_o the_o same_o neighbourhood_n the_o surety_n be_v in_o such_o a_o case_n discharge_v from_o so_o much_o of_o their_o duty_n as_o they_o can_v possible_o perform_v but_o then_o they_o shall_v be_v mindful_a of_o such_o child_n in_o their_o private_a devotion_n beseech_v god_n to_o direct_v they_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n in_o the_o way_n of_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n and_o to_o grant_v unto_o they_o mind_n capable_a of_o receive_v such_o good_a instruction_n as_o may_v be_v tender_v unto_o they_o that_o if_o he_o will_v season_v their_o heart_n with_o grace_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v please_v to_o prolong_v their_o day_n here_o upon_o earth_n they_o may_v live_v to_o he_o and_o be_v instrument_n of_o his_o glory_n by_o serve_v he_o faithful_o and_o do_v good_a in_o their_o generation_n this_o supposition_n therefore_o of_o a_o removal_n on_o either_o side_n be_v of_o no_o more_o force_n against_o surety_n than_o that_o of_o their_o death_n which_o may_v happen_v in_o a_o little_a time_n after_o the_o child_n be_v baptize_v for_o in_o all_o such_o case_n of_o uncertainty_n we_o ought_v to_o do_v our_o duty_n and_o leave_v the_o issue_n to_o the_o alwise_a disposer_n of_o all_o thing_n thus_o we_o act_v in_o leave_v our_o

have_v show_v you_o the_o reasonableness_n of_o our_o church_n practice_n in_o require_v baptismal_a surety_n and_o have_v answer_v those_o objection_n which_o i_o have_v hear_v make_v against_o it_o i_o shall_v add_v but_o one_o argument_n more_o which_o yet_o ought_v to_o be_v of_o great_a weight_n with_o we_o in_o such_o like_a case_n and_o that_o be_v the_o necessity_n of_o every_o christian_n

that_o any_o of_o we_o shall_v be_v so_o averse_a both_o to_o the_o name_n and_o the_o office_n because_o some_o be_v so_o very_o careless_a in_o the_o performance_n of_o what_o they_o do_v undertake_v it_o be_v our_o duty_n rather_o conscientious_o to_o undertake_v and_o discharge_v this_o office_n which_o we_o may_v do_v if_o we_o will_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o spiritual_a

popish_a superstition_n in_o the_o use_n of_o surety_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a from_o the_o ancient_a history_n of_o the_o church_n that_o there_o be_v godfather_n in_o the_o christian_a church_n many_o year_n before_o there_o be_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o popery_n know_v in_o the_o world_n and_o such_o surety_n be_v at_o this_o day_n retain_v not_o only_o here_o in_o england_n but_o in_o those_o church_n beyond_o the_o sea_n who_o never_o do_v embrace_v the_o popish_a religion_n thus_o have_v show_v you_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o godfather_n etc._n etc._n i_o shall_v in_o the_o 2d_o place_n show_v you_o what_o reason_n our_o church_n have_v to_o justify_v the_o use_n of_o they_o for_o it_o be_v matter_n only_o of_o ecclesiastical_a discipline_n i_o do_v not_o suppose_v that_o there_o be_v any_o necessity_n of_o a_o express_a command_n or_o example_n in_o scripture_n for_o it_o it_o may_v suffice_v we_o therefore_o that_o it_o be_v go_v rund_v upon_o good_a reason_n and_o so_o i_o suppose_v it_o be_v for_o if_o we_o will_v allow_v that_o child_n shall_v be_v baptize_v as_o we_o very_o well_o may_v and_o not_o doubt_v but_o that_o god_n will_v also_o allow_v the_o same_o we_o must_v by_o consequence_n allow_v they_o the_o benefit_n of_o have_v other_o to_o covenant_n with_o god_n for_o they_o and_o who_o may_v be_v oblige_v afterward_o to_o see_v they_o instruct_v in_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n and_o that_o it_o be_v no_o new_a or_o impossible_a thing_n for_o child_n to_o covenant_n with_o god_n by_o other_o we_o may_v learn_v from_o deut._n 29._o 10_o 11_o 12._o for_o there_o we_o find_v that_o not_o only_o the_o elder_a person_n who_o can_v understand_v and_o speak_v for_o themselves_o but_o even_o their_o little_a one_o be_v bring_v to_o covenant_n with_o god_n which_o they_o can_v not_o do_v but_o by_o other_o and_o yet_o those_o child_n be_v as_o much_o oblige_v to_o stand_v to_o that_o covenant_n as_o the_o elder_a person_n who_o be_v of_o age_n and_o understanding_n to_o covenant_n for_o themselves_o as_o appear_v by_o those_o and_o the_o follow_a verse_n in_o the_o forementioned_a ch._n of_o deut._n beside_o this_o be_v no_o more_o than_o what_o be_v daily_o practise_v in_o behalf_n of_o child_n in_o worldly_a matter_n for_o when_o parent_n die_v and_o leave_v estate_n and_o portion_n for_o their_o young_a child_n they_o leave_v some_o friend_n in_o trust_n with_o they_o and_o these_o person_n contract_n and_o make_v bargain_n in_o their_o name_n and_o if_o those_o be_v fair_a and_o advantageous_a the_o child_n in_o who_o name_n they_o be_v make_v be_v oblige_v to_o stand_v to_o they_o and_o make_v they_o good_a when_o they_o come_v of_o age_n and_o that_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o doubt_v of_o god_n accept_v the_o faith_n of_o surety_n in_o behalf_n of_o child_n may_v appear_v not_o only_o from_o god_n acceptance_n of_o abraham_n faith_n for_o circumcise_n his_o son_n but_o from_o christ_n ready_a acceptance_n of_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n faith_n for_o the_o cure_n of_o her_o daughter_n mat._n 15._o 22._o as_o also_o from_o his_o accept_n the_o

baptismal_a surety_n be_v ground_v upon_o good_a reason_n and_o therefore_o have_v be_v so_o long_o approve_v of_o through_o all_o part_n of_o the_o world_n where_o the_o gospel_n have_v be_v preach_v from_o the_o apostle_n time_n or_o very_o near_o they_o to_o this_o day_n one_o will_v think_v there_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o much_o dispute_v among_o christian_n about_o this_o matter_n but_o because_o there_o be_v many_o objection_n make_v against_o this_o order_n of_o our_o church_n therefore_o i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o give_v as_o satisfactory_a answer_n as_o i_o can_v to_o those_o objection_n which_o i_o have_v meet_v with_o obj._n 1_o therefore_o say_v some_o we_o find_v no_o such_o thing_n command_v in_o scripture_n as_o godfather_n and_o godmother_n nor_o example_n of_o any_o such_o matter_n nor_o so_o much_o as_o any_o such_o word_n therein_o mention_v and_o therefore_o we_o can_v think_v fit_a to_o make_v use_n of_o they_o answ_n in_o answer_v whereunto_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o god_n have_v no_o where_n in_o his_o holy_a word_n tie_v we_o up_o so_o strict_o in_o matter_n of_o church_n discipline_n that_o we_o must_v do_v nothing_o but_o just_a what_o be_v express_o command_v or_o what_o we_o have_v a_o example_n for_o for_o what_o sect_n of_o christian_n be_v there_o who_o do_v not_o for_o love_n and_o order_n sake_n observe_v some_o thing_n for_o which_o they_o have_v neither_o a_o particular_a precept_n no●_n example_n it_o may_v be_v sufficient_a that_o such_o thing_n be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o general_a rule_n of_o the_o apostle_n 1._o cor._n 14._o 40._o that_o all_o thing_n be_v do_v decent_o and_o in_o order_n and_o tend_v to_o edification_n v._o 26._o this_o rule_n suppose_v that_o the_o particular_a matter_n of_o church_n discipline_n shall_v be_v leave_v to_o church_n governor_n and_o to_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o church_n not_o contrary_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o scripture_n and_o no_o way_n derogate_a from_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n so_o that_o this_o have_v be_v the_o constant_a custom_n of_o the_o church_n in_o the_o pure_a time_n of_o the_o gospel_n after_o the_o apostle_n day_n to_o require_v surety_n for_o child_n at_o their_o baptism_n why_o may_v not_o the_o church_n custom_n justify_v our_o practice_n especial_o in_o this_o case_n wherein_o there_o be_v nothing_o of_o indecency_n but_o what_o may_v very_o much_o tend_v to_o edification_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n if_o it_o be_v right_o observe_v as_o to_o your_o find_a no_o mention_n make_v of_o the_o word_n in_o scripture_n that_o be_v no_o argument_n against_o the_o thing_n for_o neither_o do_v we_o find_v the_o word_n trinity_n nor_o the_o word_n sacrament_n in_o scripture_n and_o yet_o we_o think_v fit_a to_o make_v use_n of_o those_o word_n the_o one_o be_v most_o proper_a to_o express_v the_o three_o person_n in_o the_o godhead_n and_o the_o other_o to_o signify_v the_o two_o great_a ordinance_n of_o the_o gospel_n
