thence_o infer_v for_o the_o duty_n of_o parent_n and_o proparent_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o baptism_n and_o the_o first_o be_v their_o consecration_n to_o god._n as_o if_o no_o infant_n be_v

only_o by_o prayer_n or_o blessing_n not_o by_o baptise_v they_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o such_o as_o follow_v his_o example_n in_o devote_v infant_n to_o god_n by_o prayer_n do_v act_n

none_o will_v deny_v this_o the_o last_o consideration_n be_v whether_o christ_n do_v speak_v of_o infant_n indefinite_o and_o as_o such_o comprehend_v they_o all_o and_o if_o not_o how_o be_v it_o
