grant_v infants-baptism_n to_o be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o they_o but_o what_o say_v mr._n baxter_n in_o the_o forementioned_a place_n if_o i_o prove_v say_v he_o that_o all_o church-member_n must_v be_v admit_v by_o baptism_n and_o then_o prove_v that_o infant_n of_o believer_n be_v church-member_n be_v not_o this_o as_o much_o as_o to_o prove_v they_o must_v be_v baptize_v what_o think_v mr._n danvers_n of_o that_o passage_n of_o nazianzen_n in_o his_o 5_o book_n of_o theology_n quae_fw-la colliguntur_fw-la ex_fw-la scripture_n sacris_fw-la perindè_fw-la habenda_fw-la sunt_fw-la ac_fw-la

two_o thing_n 1._o that_o it_o be_v a_o mere_a impertinency_n and_o nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n why_o so_o 1._o because_o there_o be_v not_o one_o wo●d_v of_o infant_n nor_o of_o infants-baptism_n nor_o its_o apostolicalness_n and_o what_o of_o that_o do_v he_o not_o know_v that_o omne_fw-la universale_fw-la continet_fw-la in_o se_fw-la particular_a every_o universal_a contain_v within_o

of_o a_o word_n for_o its_o apostolicalness_n here_o since_o the_o only_a end_n for_o which_o the_o quotation_n be_v urge_v be_v to_o prove_v that_o justin_n be_v for_o infants-baptism_n 2._o he_o tell_v we_o it_o be_v not_o only_o impertinent_a but_o absurd_a to_o interpret_v the_o word_n all_o to_o be_v all_o man_n for_o than_o it_o must_v comprehend_v wicked_a as_o well_o as_o good_a unbeliever_n as_o well_o as_o believer_n but_o this_o be_v a_o shift_n for_o i_o say_v alderman_n be_v here_o to_o be_v limit_v to_o those_o who_o be_v within_o the_o church_n for_o to_o they_o only_o appertain_v the_o legal_a circumcision_n under_o the_o law_n of_o which_o justin_n speak_v and_o by_o proportion_n to_o such_o only_a the_o spiritual_a circumcision_n baptism_n now_o under_o the_o gospel_n as_o to_o what_o he_o further_o object_n that_o justin_n in_o this_o very_a dialogue_n tell_v we_o that_o by_o the_o word_n and_o baptism_n regeneration_n be_v perfect_v in_o all_o mankind_n
