if_o they_o be_v not_o then_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o infant-baptism_n of_o divine_a institution_n if_o the_o duty_n of_o baptise_v child_n in_o a_o infant-state_n do_v not_o lie_v on_o the_o believe_a parent_n than_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v on_o who_o it_o do_v lie_v i_o can_v think_v that_o it_o lie_v on_o the_o child_n while_n in_o a_o infant-state_n the_o child_n in_o a_o

they_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v 1._o if_o it_o be_v probable_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o certain_a and_o therefore_o no_o argument_n can_v be_v draw_v from_o it_o can_v it_o be_v prove_v that_o there_o

we_o be_v under_o a_o cold_a climate_n and_o allege_v this_o for_o their_o practice_n that_o god_n will_v have_v mercy_n and_o not_o sacrifice_n and_o that_o where_o moral_a precept_n and_o positive_a precept_n do_v interfere_v there_o positive_a precept_n must_v give_v place_n as_o when_o david_n eat_v of_o the_o shewbread_n and_o the_o disciple_n pluck_v the_o ear_n of_o corn_n upon_o the_o

in_o some_o case_n positive_a precept_n have_v give_v place_n when_o they_o have_v interfere_v with_o moral_n but_o this_o be_v no_o where_o make_v a_o general_a rule_n for_o sometime_o moral_a precept_n have_v give_v place_n to_o positive_a as_o when_o god_n command_v abraham_n to_o offer_v up_o his_o son_n isaac_n a_o burnt-offering_a the_o moral_a precept_n thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v

in_o a_o little_a time_n the_o subject_n may_v return_v to_o his_o duty_n unto_o the_o positive_a precept_n again_o but_o if_o the_o positive_a precept_n to_o dip_v must_v give_v place_n to_o the_o moral_a because_o of_o the_o coldness_n of_o the_o climate_n we_o shall_v never_o have_v opportunity_n to_o return_v to_o our_o duty_n to_o the_o positive_a precept_n more_o because_o our_o climate_n will_v never_o alter_v it_o will_v be_v always_o cold_a and_o so_o the_o positive_a precept_n to_o dip_v will_v be_v of_o no_o more_o use_n to_o we_o than_o the_o altar_n that_o be_v build_v on_o the_o other_o side_n of_o jordan_n be_v to_o they_o which_o be_v not_o build_v to_o offer_v sacrifice_n thereon_o but_o to_o be_v a_o witness_n of_o what_o be_v former_o do_v josh_n 22._o 28._o so_o
