as_o need_v this_o new_a dispute_n to_o take_v it_o off_o but_o it_o be_v true_a enough_o that_o the_o debate_n about_o human_a invention_n do_v more_o particular_o concern_v baptism_n than_o the_o other_o part_n of_o worship_n his_o lordship_n have_v insist_v on_o and_o therefore_o since_o the_o bishop_n have_v offer_v we_o something_o new_a on_o this_o subject_a i_o shall_v the_o more_o willing_o address_v myself_o to_o the_o examination_n of_o it_o because_o the_o precedent_a part_n of_o the_o admonition_n have_v leave_v the_o argument_n between_o we_o almost_o whole_o untouched_a and_o contain_v little_a but_o such_o slight_a cavil_n about_o it_o as_o be_v in_o effect_n obviate_v in_o the_o remark_n themselves_o and_o here_o i._o the_o bishop_n give_v we_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o omit_v this_o part_n of_o worship_n viz._n 1._o because_o it_o be_v occasional_a 173._o admon_n p._n 172_o 173._o not_o ordinary_a 1._o answ_n but_o he_o know_v that_o in_o a_o discourse_n about_o the_o invention_n of_o man_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n it_o be_v proper_a to_o consider_v that_o part_n of_o worship_n about_o which_o that_o dispute_v chief_o lay_v 2._o because_o he_o find_v the_o defect_n and_o addition_n of_o our_o directory_n so_o great_a in_o this_o office_n that_o they_o deserve_v a_o discourse_n by_o themselves_o 174._o admon_n p._n 173_o 174._o and_o according_o he_o mention_n these_o follow_a defect_n in_o the_o directory_n 1._o there_o be_v no_o express_a covenant_n order_v in_o the_o directory_n to_o be_v make_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o child_n baptise_a either_o by_o the_o parent_n or_o any_o else_o though_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n of_o engage_v a_o child_n that_o can_v covenant_n for_o itself_o 2._o there_o be_v no_o profession_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n require_v in_o the_o directory_n from_o any_o parent_n or_o offerer_n of_o any_o child_n 3._o there_o be_v no_o solemn_a recognition_n of_o the_o vow_n of_o baptism_n require_v from_o person_n baptise_a in_o their_o infancy_n when_o they_o come_v to_o understand_v their_o duty_n as_o it_o be_v in_o confirmation_n with_o we_o 4._o the_o express_a word_n of_o the_o covenant_n be_v not_o prescribe_v out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o be_v leave_v to_o the_o discretion_n of_o every_o minister_n to_o impose_v what_o he_o will_v on_o the_o baptise_a etc._n etc._n answ_n i_o know_v no_o great_a harm_n to_o the_o cause_n of_o dissenter_n if_o we_o shall_v own_v there_o be_v some_o omission_n in_o the_o directory_n especial_o when_o the_o compiler_n to_o avoid_v the_o rigorous_a and_o impose_v humour_n that_o have_v too_o long_o reign_v in_o other_o seem_v to_o have_v leave_v many_o thing_n to_o the_o discretion_n of_o particular_a pastor_n which_o they_o will_v not_o positive_o enjoin_v and_o for_o these_o defect_n which_o the_o bishop_n have_v cite_v out_o of_o mr._n baxter_n treatise_n of_o infant_n baptism_n they_o be_v not_o so_o material_a as_o his_o lordship_n seem_v to_o imagine_v and_o be_v easy_o supply_v by_o every_o minister_n that_o think_v more_o express_a profession_n requisite_a than_o be_v there_o positive_o enjoin_v as_o to_o the_o first_o the_o make_n of_o a_o express_a covenant_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o child_n if_o the_o bishop_n mean_v by_o it_o that_o the_o parent_n shall_v explicit_o profess_v his_o dedicate_a his_o child_n to_o god_n and_o bring_v it_o thereby_o under_o a_o solemn_a obligation_n to_o the_o duty_n of_o his_o covenant_n this_o be_v real_o include_v in_o that_o profession_n he_o be_v require_v by_o the_o directory_n to_o make_v of_o his_o desire_n to_o have_v it_o baptise_a and_o according_o it_o be_v usual_a for_o the_o minister_n to_o propose_v the_o question_n more_o full_o to_o this_o purpose_n do_v you_o profess_v your_o desire_n of_o have_v this_o child_n dedicate_v by_o baptism_n to_o the_o faith_n worship_n and_o service_n of_o god_n the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n but_o if_o he_o mean_v that_o the_o parent_n or_o offerer_n of_o the_o child_n shall_v make_v such_o a_o profession_n in_o the_o child_n name_n as_o our_o sponsor_n be_v order_v to_o do_v in_o the_o common-prayer-book_n it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o defect_n in_o our_o directory_n that_o it_o enjoin_v no_o such_o thing_n that_o it_o be_v no_o small_a blemish_n of_o the_o office_n of_o baptism_n in_o the_o service-book_n that_o it_o require_v such_o a_o profession_n from_o they_o as_o personate_n the_o child_n they_o present_v and_o that_o his_o lordship_n may_v be_v assure_v mr._n baxter_n intend_v no_o such_o express_a covenant_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o child_n as_o this_o be_v i_o shall_v produce_v his_o own_o word_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o i_o take_v they_o to_o carry_v great_a weight_n and_o force_n in_o they_o in_o his_o n._n conformity_n state_v etc._n etc._n he_o bring_v in_o the_o lawyer_n ask_v what_o be_v your_o four_o objection_n against_o our_o way_n of_o baptism_n to_o which_o the_o minister_n thus_o answer_v that_o in_o personate_n the_o child_n they_o say_v that_o they_o and_o so_o he_o by_o they_o do_v at_o present_a believe_v renounce_v and_o desire_v etc._n etc._n false_o intimate_v that_o infant_n be_v at_o present_a bind_v to_o do_v this_o by_o another_o and_o yet_o the_o same_o man_n plead_v that_o god_n do_v not_o accept_v he_o for_o the_o faith_n of_o his_o parent_n when_o as_o god_n require_v no_o faith_n or_o repentance_n of_o infant_n but_o only_o that_o they_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o penitent_a believer_n devote_v to_o christ_n and_o in_o the_o catechism_n it_o be_v say_v that_o repentance_n and_o faith_n be_v require_v of_o person_n to_o be_v baptise_a and_o that_o infant_n who_o can_v perform_v these_o be_v baptise_a because_o they_o promise_v they_o by_o their_o surety_n which_o promise_v when_o they_o come_v to_o age_n themselves_o be_v bind_v to_o perform_v where_o note_n that_o the_o former_a common-prayer-book_n have_v they_o perform_v they_o by_o their_o surety_n they_o perceive_v that_o have_v say_v faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v requisite_a infant_n they_o see_v must_v have_v at_o present_a what_o be_v requisite_a at_o present_a and_o they_o know_v that_o they_o have_v they_o not_o themselves_o and_o so_o be_v fain_o to_o hold_v that_o the_o surety_n faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v they_o and_o a_o performance_n of_o that_o require_v condition_n but_o the_o maker_n of_o the_o new_a book_n see_v that_o this_o will_v not_o hold_v and_o so_o they_o say_v though_o faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v require_v of_o person_n to_o be_v baptise_a yet_o infant_n be_v baptise_a because_o they_o promise_v they_o by_o their_o surety_n to_o be_v hereafter_o perform_v amend_v the_o former_a error_n by_o a_o great_a or_o a_o double_a one_o 1._o grant_v faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v pre-requisite_a and_o yet_o confess_v that_o infant_n have_v neither_o of_o their_o own_o or_o surety_n for_o they_o and_o yet_o be_v to_o be_v baptise_a 2._o or_o make_v a_o promise_n future_a faith_n and_o repentance_n to_o be_v present_a faith_n and_o repentance_n 3._o or_o though_o faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v requisite_a in_o those_o that_o be_v to_o be_v baptise_a yet_o god_n will_v at_o present_a justify_v and_o save_v all_o that_o have_v it_o not_o in_o infancy_n because_o they_o promise_v it_o hereafter_o all_o plain_a contradiction_n as_o if_o they_o say_v it_o be_v requisite_a in_o person_n to_o be_v baptise_a and_o it_o be_v not_o requisite_a l_o how_o will_v you_o have_v they_o have_v answer_v these_o m._n profess_a faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v requisite_a in_o adult_n person_n to_o be_v baptise_a and_o in_o infant_n that_o they_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o faithful_a devote_v by_o they_o to_o god_n in_o christ_n according_a to_o his_o offer_a covenant_n of_o grace_n thus_o far_o that_o accurate_a divine_a from_o who_o his_o lordship_n
