mind_n for_o all_o he_o require_v for_o do_v not_o think_v that_o a_o outside_n compliance_n with_o the_o way_n of_o your_o education_n will_v serve_v you_o you_o can_v for_o shame_n throw_v off_o the_o way_n you_o have_v be_v breed_v in_o for_o it_o be_v a_o disgrace_n for_o child_n of_o good_a parent_n to_o be_v loose_a even_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o those_o that_o have_v no_o religion_n themselves_o and_o therefore_o you_o will_v keep_v it_o up_o of_o the_o cheap_a and_o slight_a sort_n of_o the_o kind_n that_o ever_o you_o can_v but_o your_o heart_n be_v malignant_a at_o the_o same_o time_n and_o when_o you_o can_v get_v any_o thing_n of_o worldly_a advantage_n for_o it_o you_o will_v part_v with_o your_o profession_n too_o but_o let_v such_o person_n know_v that_o god_n search_v all_o heart_n and_o understand_v all_o the_o imagination_n of_o the_o thought_n he_o know_v how_o deep_a your_o religion_n lie_v he_o know_v what_o you_o secret_o think_v to_o do_v but_o take_v this_o for_o the_o conclusion_n he_o be_v faithful_a in_o his_o covenant_n but_o he_o will_v not_o be_v impose_v upon_o by_o such_o as_o be_v treacherous_a if_o thou_o seek_v he_o he_o will_v be_v find_v of_o thou_o if_o thou_o be_v faithful_a and_o mindful_a of_o the_o covenant_n as_o thy_o duty_n and_o interest_n to_o do_v thy_o part_n he_o will_v be_v true_a to_o thou_o but_o if_o thou_o forsake_v he_o he_o will_v cast_v thou_o off_o for_o ever_o and_o then_o thou_o be_v undo_v for_o evermore_o i_o will_v on_o this_o occasion_n offer_v at_o two_o or_o three_o thing_n both_o with_o respect_n to_o child_n and_o parent_n in_o reference_n to_o this_o covenant_n of_o god_n which_o be_v all_o our_o salvation_n and_o all_o our_o desire_n 1._o it_o be_v advisable_v that_o it_o be_v clear_o understand_v how_o the_o covenant_n of_o god_n come_v in_o upon_o the_o fall_n and_o what_o be_v the_o tenor_n of_o it_o on_o both_o side_n god_n and_o man_n and_o the_o purport_n of_o the_o baptismal_a covenant_n in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o short_a catechism_n by_o mr._n baxter_n p._n 9_o the_o holy_a covenant_n i_o do_v believe_v in_o god_n the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n according_a to_o the_o particular_a article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n and_o hearty_o repent_v of_o my_o sinful_a life_n i_o do_v present_o absolute_o and_o resolve_o give_v up_o myself_o to_o he_o my_o creator_n and_o reconcile_a god_n and_o father_n in_o christ_n my_o saviour_n and_o my_o sanctifier_n renounce_v the_o devil_n the_o world_n and_o the_o sinful_a desire_n of_o the_o flesh_n that_o take_v up_o my_o cross_n and_o the_o deny_v myself_o i_o may_v follow_v christ_n the_o captain_n of_o my_o salvation_n to_o the_o death_n and_o live_v with_o he_o in_o endless_a glory_n 2._o that_o parent_n understand_v the_o nature_n of_o baptism_n that_o it_o be_v a_o solemnize_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o that_o they_o will_v as_o serious_o prepare_v to_o bring_v a_o child_n to_o baptism_n as_o they_o do_v to_o go_v themselves_o to_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o so_o serious_o and_o solemn_o take_v hold_v of_o the_o covenant_n for_o themselves_o and_o renew_v it_o in_o their_o own_o person_n and_o to_o take_v hold_n of_o it_o for_o their_o child_n 3._o to_o hold_v the_o covenant_n for_o the_o child_n whilst_o it_o be_v not_o capable_a to_o take_v hold_n for_o itself_o to_o plead_v it_o solemn_o and_o frequent_o for_o it_o and_o to_o instruct_v the_o child_n in_o it_o diligent_o according_a to_o its_o capacity_n that_o so_o it_o may_v not_o be_v a_o christian_n by_o example_n but_o by_o principle_n and_o may_v set_v out_o with_o a_o stock_n and_o title_n of_o its_o own_o 4._o that_o child_n take_v heed_n to_o this_o solemn_o and_o explicit_o to_o take_v up_o the_o christian_a title_n and_o covenant_n in_o their_o own_o person_n that_o so_o god_n may_v remember_v it_o always_o for_o they_o and_o they_o may_v be_v always_o mindful_a of_o it_o this_o be_v a_o estate_n leave_v you_o whilst_o your_o father_n live_v and_o the_o soon_o you_o have_v it_o in_o your_o own_o hand_n the_o better_a for_o you_o and_o your_o father_n too_o but_o 3_o i_o shall_v improve_v this_o in_o a_o word_n or_o two_o to_o those_o that_o be_v true_o serious_a 1._o let_v it_o be_v improve_v to_o our_o support_n and_o comfort_n in_o all_o trouble_n of_o life_n

deadness_n the_o covenant_n he_o will_v not_o go_v from_o and_o this_o may_v be_v strong_a comfort_n to_o we_o at_o all_o time_n against_o all_o sad_a appearance_n of_o thing_n and_o against_o all_o discouragement_n from_o inward_a guilt_n god_n be_v gracious_a and_o ready_a to_o forgive_v and_o therefore_o have_v i_o hope_v still_o if_o we_o be_v weak_a in_o faith_n and_o can_v scarce_o think_v how_o he_o shall_v show_v such_o glorious_a thing_n to_o such_o poor_a wretch_n as_o we_o be_v and_o so_o at_o present_a may_v not_o believe_v as_o we_o shall_v do_v 2.13_o 2_o tim._n 2.13_o yet_o
