as_o well_o as_o the_o jew_n be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n and_o baptism_n now_o as_o well_o as_o circumcision_n then_o be_v a_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n to_o be_v administer_v to_o all_o in_o

spiritual_a seed_n of_o abraham_n true_a believer_n the_o ordinance_n will_v soon_o be_v null_a as_o to_o their_o administration_n because_o we_o know_v not_o then_o who_o to_o baptise_v not_o dare_v we_o say_v this_o man_n or_o child_n be_v a_o true_a believer_n and_o one_o of_o the_o spiritual_a seed_n of_o abraham_n and_o the_o other_o be_v not_o and_o probable_o may_v thus_o admit_v those_o to_o the_o ordinance_n who_o be_v hypocrite_n while_o we_o reject_v those_o who_o be_v true_a believer_n 23._o cen._n 17.22_o act_n 8.13_o 18_o 23._o there_o have_v be_v person_n baptise_a and_o

the_o anabaptist_n grant_v they_o a_o capability_n of_o salvation_n and_o say_v all_o child_n die_v child_n shall_v be_v save_v and_o then_o sure_o they_o esteem_v they_o the_o spiritual_a seed_n of_o

those_o who_o be_v thus_o in_o covenant_n with_o god_n 12._o col._n 2.11_o 12._o may_v be_v admit_v to_o the_o participation_n of_o its_o seal_n as_o those_o be_v the_o minor_a that_o child_n be_v within_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v thus_o undeniable_o confirm_v 1._o god_n grace_n be_v universal_a appertain_v to_o child_n as_o well_o as_o adult_v person_n christ_n die_v for_o they_o
