my_o text_n contain_v in_o it_o two_o branch_n of_o the_o commission_n to_o teach_v and_o baptize_v in_o which_o word_n we_o may_v observe_v these_o general_a part_n first_o we_o have_v their_o

which_o there_o be_v the_o order_n to_o be_v observe_v they_o must_v first_o teach_v and_o then_o baptize_v 3_o we_o have_v the_o subject_n of_o baptism_n in_o this_o word_n they_o which_o word_n be_v a_o relative_n the_o antecedent_n be_v all_o nation_n teach_v or_o disciple_v 4_o we_o have_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o ordinance_n in_o these_o word_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n before_o i_o give_v you_o the_o observation_n i_o shall_v a_o little_a open_a the_o term_n first_o as_o to_o their_o mission_n or_o send_v go_v you_o therefore_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n to_o be_v inquire_v into_o 1._o who_o it_o be_v that_o send_v and_o that_o be_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o appear_v in_o the_o precede_a verse_n jesus_n come_v and_o speak_v unto_o they_o and_o say_v go_v you_o 2._o who_o they_o be_v that_o be_v send_v first_o more_o immediate_o they_o be_v the_o eleven_o disciple_n as_o appear_v by_o ver_fw-la 16_o 17_o 18._o then_o the_o eleven_o go_v away_o into_o galilee_n and_o jesus_n come_v and_o speak_v unto_o they_o say_v go_v you_o but_o more_o remote_o all_o such_o as_o god_n shall_v be_v please_v to_o gift_n and_o qualify_v by_o his_o spirit_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o by_o his_o providence_n to_o call_v out_o and_o to_o open_v a_o door_n so_o to_o do_v the_o eleven_o be_v here_o commission_v but_o the_o commission_n be_v not_o restrain_v to_o they_o for_o first_o we_o find_v that_o there_o be_v other_o that_o do_v instant_o preach_v the_o gospel_n as_o well_o as_o they_o who_o have_v no_o other_o
that_o be_v record_v in_o the_o five_o commandment_n but_o that_o the_o other_o be_v also_o intend_v and_o include_v in_o it_o which_o they_o endeavour_v to_o persuade_v the_o people_n to_o believe_v by_o their_o false_a gloss_n upon_o the_o text_n for_o they_o confess_v it_o be_v not_o express_o write_v in_o the_o law_n but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v intend_v though_o not_o express_v and_o that_o it_o be_v deliver_v by_o word_n of_o mouth_n though_o it_o be_v not_o where_o so_o write_v in_o all_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o they_o call_v it_o a_o tradition_n of_o the_o elder_n whether_o covetousness_n as_o in_o the_o pharisee_n lie_v at_o the_o root_n of_o this_o practice_n of_o infant-sprinkling_a themselves_o be_v the_o best_a judge_n but_o this_o they_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v not_o express_o command_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o they_o endeavour_v to_o persuade_v the_o people_n that_o it_o be_v intend_v therein_o although_o they_o can_v produce_v one_o instance_n of_o any_o infant_n that_o be_v baptize_v and_o by_o their_o corrupt_a exposition_n of_o some_o passage_n in_o holy_a scripture_n and_o their_o false_a gloss_n like_o those_o of_o the_o pharisee_n they_o prevail_v upon_o their_o ignorant_a and_o unthinking_a admirer_n to_o believe_v it_o upon_o their_o word_n although_o there_o be_v not_o one_o syllable_n of_o it_o record_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o when_o this_o will_v not_o do_v they_o tell_v they_o it_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n for_o many_o age_n and_o they_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o apostle_n although_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n of_o it_o in_o holy_a scripture_n for_o in_o p._n 13._o of_o their_o own_o account_n they_o say_v that_o paul_n may_v declare_v it_o though_o the_o new_a testament_n shall_v not_o discover_v that_o he_o do_v and_o in_o p._n 15._o paul_n may_v have_v declare_v the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n a_o hundred_o time_n over_o and_o yet_o it_o may_v not_o be_v leave_v on_o record_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o ephesian_n nor_o any_o part_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o he_o do_v so_o i_o therefore_o demand_v of_o these_o presbyter_n that_o if_o they_o be_v not_o of_o the_o papist_n opinion_n that_o infant-baptism_n be_v a_o unwritten_a tradition_n what_o move_v they_o to_o use_v their_o very_a language_n have_v they_o not_o a_o fit_a opportunity_n to_o produce_v a_o scripture-instance_n if_o they_o have_v be_v able_a but_o it_o seem_v all_o the_o skill_n they_o have_v with_o all_o their_o pretence_n to_o learning_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o enable_v they_o to_o find_v it_o out_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v still_o charge_v it_o upon_o they_o as_o a_o scripture-less_a practice_n and_o a_o mere_a human_a invention_n without_o the_o least_o show_n of_o either_o precept_n or_o example_n to_o be_v find_v for_o it_o in_o all_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o consequent_o we_o must_v reject_v it_o as_o a_o unwritten_a tradition_n and_o will-worship_n and_o as_o such_o forbid_v by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o that_o from_o the_o pen_n of_o the_o most_o learned_a pedo-baptist_n in_o their_o exposition_n of_o the_o second_o commandment_n and_o see_v these_o man_n grant_v this_o practice_n of_o they_o be_v not_o express_v in_o the_o write_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n let_v they_o tell_v we_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o total_a silence_n therein_o why_o do_v not_o our_o lord_n command_v it_o if_o he_o intend_v it_o shall_v be_v practise_v why_o do_v not_o the_o apostle_n set_v it_o down_o in_o their_o write_n what_o can_v be_v the_o reason_n why_o those_o holy_a man_n shall_v not_o make_v some_o mention_n of_o it_o in_o the_o many_o book_n they_o have_v purposely_o write_v for_o our_o instruction_n why_o do_v the_o four_o evangelist_n conceal_v it_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n make_v no_o mention_n of_o it_o when_o they_o set_v down_o in_o write_v so_o many_o thousand_o of_o man_n and_o woman_n that_o be_v baptize_v how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o the_o apostle_n peter_n james_n john_n and_o judas_n who_o write_v such_o excellent_a epistle_n shall_v not_o say_v one_o word_n about_o it_o but_o above_o all_o the_o apostle_n paul_n who_o write_v fourteen_o admirable_a epistle_n and_o speak_v in_o they_o so_o often_o of_o this_o holy_a ordinance_n of_o baptism_n who_o profess_v he_o do_v declare_v all_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v back_o nothing_o that_o be_v profitable_a to_o be_v know_v and_o praise_n they_o for_o keep_v the_o ordinance_n as_o they_o be_v deliver_v to_o they_o and_o declare_v that_o as_o he_o receive_v they_o of_o the_o lord_n so_o he_o have_v deliver_v they_o do_v not_o in_o all_o his_o epistle_n make_v the_o least_o mention_n of_o infant-baptism_n be_v not_o this_o alone_a a_o great_a argument_n against_o your_o practice_n i_o pray_v consider_v it_o for_o the_o apostle_n say_v let_v every_o man_n prove_v his_o own_o work_n you_o assert_v it_o and_o therefore_o it_o lie_v upon_o you_o to_o prove_v it_o but_o to_o evade_v this_o you_o make_v use_v of_o the_o same_o method_n against_o we_o as_o the_o papist_n do_v against_o the_o protestant_n when_o they_o demand_v of_o they_o to_o give_v some_o formal_a passage_n in_o scripture_n that_o do_v express_o and_o by_o name_n deny_v what_o they_o affirm_v viz._n

else_o to_o pretend_v the_o protestant_n can_v answer_v they_o the_o turk_n may_v as_o reasonable_o demand_v of_o the_o papist_n where_o there_o be_v to_o be_v find_v any_o formal_a passage_n in_o
