baptize_v our_o apostle_n tell_v we_o who_o he_o do_v not_o baptize_v but_o enter_v no_o caveat_n against_o infant_n baptism_n three_o since_o scripture_n tell_v we_o this_o be_v the_o way_n for_o

way_n to_o free_v they_o from_o their_o birth-sin_n and_o ensure_v they_o heaven_n but_o by_o baptism_n with_o these_o few_o smooth_a stone_n take_v out_o of_o the_o bag_n of_o the_o shepherd_n of_o our_o soul_n we_o have_v knock_v in_o the_o forehead_n the_o anabaptist_n great_a grand_a goliath_n argument_n and_o make_v it_o of_o as_o little_a force_n as_o samson_n when_o his_o lock_n be_v

christ_n prohibition_n but_o where_o there_o be_v in_o scripture_n so_o universal_a a_o silence_n i_o know_v no_o cause_n why_o they_o shall_v make_v so_o open_a a_o outcry_n we_o much_o desire_v

tenet_n all_o the_o time_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n for_o since_o it_o be_v undeniable_a for_o practise_v by_o the_o greek_a and_o latin_a church_n witness_v the_o church_n in_o all_o graecia_n where_o there_o be_v christian_n as_o also_o in_o syria_n in_o india_n in_o muscovia_n in_o ethiopia_n and_o as_o for_o the_o church_n in_o this_o part_n of_o the_o world_n what_o i_o have_v deliver_v will_v appear_v to_o be_v truth_n by_o the_o confession_n of_o the_o english_a scottish_a and_o irish_a church_n by_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o romish_a church_n to_o which_o i_o may_v adjoyne_v as_o supernumerate_v up_o to_o my_o hand_n the_o augustine_n confession_n the_o bohemian_a the_o belgic_a the_o helvetian_a the_o saxon_a with_o many_o more_o all_o assert_v infant_n baptism_n for_o of_o such_o as_o say_v our_o saviour_n be_v the_o

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 use_n of_o it_o among_o my_o answer_n to_o some_o objection_n yet_o it_o be_v no_o spiritual_a cowardice_n to_o draw_v out_o the_o same_o sword_n so_o i_o wound_v the_o adversary_n more_o deep_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
