call_v man_n wash_v sanctified_a justify_v they_o be_v all_o call_v saint_n and_o church_n of_o saint_n all_o christian_n be_v call_v sanctify_v one_o or_o saint_n therefore_o it_o be_v certain_a

of_o the_o lord_n the_o end_n of_o his_o baptism_n be_v to_o bind_v all_o the_o people_n to_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n which_o be_v to_o come_v faith_n be_v not_o the_o condition_n of_o

something_o to_o your_o business_n viz._n that_o john_n baptize_v all_o even_o ungodly_a parent_n as_o well_o as_o child_n which_o mr._n baxter_n from_o god_n word_n have_v full_o confute_v 2._o also_o than_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n and_o that_o baptism_n administer_v by_o the_o apostle_n differ_v in_o a_o essential_a part_n which_o you_o yourself_o but_o a_o

into_o he_o that_o be_v come_v dead_a and_o rise_v again_o now_o be_v not_o faith_n and_o repentance_n the_o condition_n of_o that_o baptism_n administer_v by_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o they_o require_v faith_n and_o a_o profession_n of_o faith_n of_o all_o they_o admit_v to_o baptism_n the_o scripture_n mr._n baxter_n cite_v in_o the_o aforementioned_a book_n of_o he_o full_o prove_v they_o do_v and_o that_o those_o thing_n be_v prerequisites_n of_o it_o therefore_o baptism_n as_o administer_v by_o john_n and_o by_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o only_o to_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v be_v oblige_v to_o believe_v and_o repent_v but_o faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v the_o condition_n or_o qualification_n of_o all_o they_o baptize_v for_o john_n nor_o the_o apostle_n neither_o will_v take_v a_o bare_a verbal_a profession_n of_o repentance_n of_o those_o that_o come_v to_o baptism_n john_n command_v they_o to_o produce_v the_o fruit_n of_o repentance_n or_o to_o

be_v member_n of_o god_n legal_a church_n but_o i_o ask_v you_o whether_o john_n baptism_n be_v a_o legal_a ordinance_n or_o a_o pure_a gospel_n ordinance_n as_o circumcision_n be_v prove_v it_o we_o

prove_v it_o be_v a_o legal_a ordinance_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v infant_n of_o the_o jew_n ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v as_o their_o male_n be_v to_o be_v circumcise_a because_o there_o be_v

their_o male_a infant_n ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v what_o authority_n have_v john_n to_o baptize_v female_n whether_o the_o adult_n or_o infant_n as_o i_o say_v refore_o 4._o i_o be_o trouble_v to_o
