the_o term_n of_o the_o propos_fw-fr in_o it_o which_o have_v you_o argue_v honest_o you_o shall_v have_v say_v thus_o that_o which_o god_n once_o command_v and_o never_o repeal_v be_v in_o force_n still_o and_o then_o you_o shall_v have_v assume_v but_o god_n do_v once_o command_v the_o baptise_v of_o infant_n and_o never_o repeal_v it_o therefore_o that_o command_n be_v in_o force_n still_o indeed_o have_v you_o reason_v thus_o and_o prove_v the_o minor_a a_o gracious_a heart_n will_v hardly_o have_v deny_v it_o but_o then_o 2_o this_o argument_n contradict_v itself_o for_o you_o say_v he_o do_v once_o command_n and_o never_o afterward_o forbid_v that_o infant_n shall_v have_v the_o seal_n and_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o yet_o you_o say_v present_o after_o that_o circumcision_n be_v take_v away_o than_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o seal_n of_o it_o be_v prohibit_v and_o the_o use_n of_o it_o forbid_v be_v not_o this_o a_o palpable_a contradiction_n for_o what_o be_v the_o seal_n of_o faith_n that_o god_n command_v to_o abraham_n be_v it_o not_o circumcision_n gen._n 17.10_o rom._n 10.11_o if_o so_o then_o when_o circumcision_n be_v repeal_v that_o law_n which_o command_v nothing_o else_o must_v needs_o be_v repeal_v and_o if_o the_o law_n be_v in_o force_n it_o must_v require_v some_o other_o thing_n as_o well_o as_o circumcision_n and_o so_o be_v but_o in_o part_n repeal_v if_o circumcision_n be_v repeal_v you_o may_v as_o well_o have_v say_v that_o james_n duke_n hamilton_n be_v a_o live_a after_o james_n earl_n of_o cambridge_n be_v behead_v as_o say_v that_o that_o law_n give_v to_o abraham_n gen._n 17.10_o be_v in_o force_n and_o yet_o say_v circumcision_n be_v take_v away_o who_o but_o those_o be_v wilful_o ignorant_a do_v not_o see_v this_o empty_a kind_n of_o argue_v you_o proceed_v to_o another_o argument_n and_o tell_v i_o that_o mr._n kellie_n they_o which_o have_v a_o right_a to_o the_o ordinance_n that_o be_v profitable_a every_o way_n have_v still_o a_o right_n to_o baptism_n but_o the_o child_n of_o god_n people_n have_v a_o right_n to_o that_o ordinance_n that_o be_v profitable_a every_o way_n ergo._n the_o child_n of_o god_n people_n have_v a_o right_n to_o baptism_n mr._n ive'_v this_o argument_n among_o the_o rest_n we_o meet_v with_o at_o your_o house_n and_o i_o do_v then_o and_o so_o i_o do_v now_o deny_v the_o major_a for_o if_o you_o look_v the_o text_n upon_o which_o it_o be_v ground_v rom_n 3.1_o 2._o you_o will_v find_v that_o this_o ordinance_n you_o speak_v of_o be_v circumcision_n so_o that_o then_o the_o major_a proposition_n in_o plain_a english_a be_v this_o they_o that_o have_v have_v a_o right_a to_o circumcision_n have_v a_o right_n to_o baptism_n if_o this_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n why_o do_v you_o plead_v for_o the_o infant_n of_o believer_n so_o much_o may_v you_o not_o as_o well_o plead_v for_o the_o unbelieve_a jew_n and_o their_o infant_n by_o the_o same_o reason_n thus_o they_o that_o have_v a_o right_a to_o circumcision_n have_v a_o right_n to_o baptism_n but_o the_o jew_n and_o their_o infant_n have_v a_o right_a to_o circumcision_n therefore_o they_o have_v a_o right_n to_o baptism_n now_o if_o you_o shall_v say_v so_o they_o have_v if_o they_o convert_v to_o believe_v in_o christ_n i_o say_v then_o you_o have_v answer_v yourself_o and_o than_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o their_o right_n to_o circumcision_n do_v give_v they_o a_o right_n to_o baptism_n but_o their_o believe_v in_o christ_n for_o if_o it_o do_v your_o must_v baptize_v a_o jew_n though_o he_o do_v never_o believe_v you_o now_o come_v to_o scare_v i_o with_o great_a word_n since_o you_o can_v do_v it_o by_o argument_n and_o this_o you_o endeavour_v to_o do_v by_o tell_v i_o of_o fearful_a and_o base_a absurdity_n that_o will_v follow_v upon_o what_o i_o have_v say_v in_o deny_v infant_n baptism_n the_o first_o aburdity_n you_o say_v be_v mr._n kellie_n that_o if_o baptism_n be_v deny_v to_o the_o infant_n of_o believer_n than_o the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n servant_n under_o the_o law_n have_v better_a mean_n of_o grace_n confer_v upon_o they_o
