at_o arm_n the_o doctor_n of_o our_o church_n take_v up_o the_o cudgel_n against_o infant_n who_o right_a to_o baptism_n be_v of_o so_o long_a a_o stand_n that_o i_o find_v it_o practise_v before_o any_o council_n do_v decree_v it_o and_o yet_o to_o support_v the_o pillar_n of_o this_o divine_a truth_n the_o council_n of_o carthage_n and_o the_o milevitine_n council_n even_o both_o of_o they_o accurse_v for_o heretic_n all_o such_o as_o detain_v infant_n from_o baptism_n the_o three_o argument_n and_o now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o three_o argument_n which_o though_o i_o have_v make_v some_o

notum_fw-la est_fw-la omnibus_fw-la it_o be_v notorious_o know_v how_o we_o have_v baptism_n instead_o of_o circumcision_n but_o very_o young_a child_n at_o eight_o day_n old_a under_o the_o law_n be_v circumcise_v therefore_o child_n under_o the_o gospel_n may_v be_v baptize_v such_o a_o argument_n that_o as_o before_o i_o hint_v at_o either_o must_v the_o anabaptist_n quarrel_n with_o god_n for_o circumcise_n those_o young_a child_n or_o less_o beshrew_v himself_o for_o blame_v we_o who_o baptize_v these_o the_o four_o argument_n god_n call_v on_o they_o to_o come_v unto_o he_o it_o be_v a_o unmannerly_a part_n of_o those_o minister_n who_o will_v not_o by_o that_o door_n baptism_n let_v these_o young_a one_o into_o their_o master_n house_n the_o church_n who_o himself_o call_v upon_o
