sin_n then_o both_o these_o two_o ordinance_n viz._n circumcision_n and_o the_o passeover_n be_v transform_v into_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o whereas_o the_o two_o former_a do_v

service_n for_o a_o elect_a infant_n both_o live_a and_o die_v as_o they_o be_v for_o the_o old_a saint_n upon_o earth_n because_o the_o angel_n be_v not_o act_v by_o any_o power_n of_o the_o

all_o the_o subject_n of_o circumcision_n be_v and_o the_o child_n of_o believer_n do_v make_v the_o same_o passive_a figure_n in_o the_o church_n now_o as_o the_o child_n of_o the_o jew_n do_v in_o the_o church_n under_o the_o law_n for_o our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o that_o of_o such_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n which_o be_v the_o church_n 6._o and_o last_o to_o crown_v all_o the_o rest_n be_v the_o sweet_a compassionate_a behaviour_n of_o our_o bless_a redeemer_n towards_o the_o infant-seed_n of_o believer_n in_o mark_n 10._o and_o they_o bring_v young_a child_n unto_o he_o that_o he_o shall_v touch_v they_o and_o his_o disciple_n rebuke_v those_o that_o bring_v they_o but_o when_o jesus_n see_v it_o he_o be_v much_o displease_v and_o say_v unto_o they_o suffer_v the_o little_a

their_o parent_n have_v not_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o christ_n they_o will_v never_o have_v bring_v their_o child_n unto_o he_o to_o be_v bless_v by_o he_o 3._o as_o they_o be_v adult_a believer_n that_o bring_v they_o to_o christ_n so_o be_v they_o also_o which_o rebuke_v they_o that_o bring_v they_o 4._o and_o last_o christ_n do_v receive_v they_o and_o lay_v his_o hand_n on_o they_o and_o bless_v they_o and_o also_o pray_v thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o sweet_a carriage_n and_o compassionate_a behaviour_n of_o our_o bless_a redeemer_n towards_o these_o little_a infant_n of_o believe_a parent_n do_v clear_o demonstaate_a unto_o we_o that_o they_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n and_o be_v baptize_v before_o they_o be_v thus_o visible_o bring_v unto_o christ_n see_v that_o he_o himself_o lay_v his_o hand_n on_o they_o and_o bless_v they_o for_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n be_v succedaneous_a to_o baptism_n act_v 8.12_o 15_o 16_o 17._o thus_o you_o see_v it_o clear_o make_v out_o that_o all_o the_o infant-seed_n of_o believer_n have_v a_o right_n to_o the_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n and_o this_o bring_v i_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o that_o query_n of_o

what_o benefit_n have_v our_o young_a infant_n by_o be_v circumcise_v at_o eight_o day_n old_a but_o the_o apostle_n answer_n be_v very_o compatible_a to_o mr._n k._n rom._n 3.1_o 2._o what_o advantage_n then_o have_v the_o jew_n or_o what_o profit_n be_v there_o of_o circumcision_n much_o every_o way_n chief_o because_o that_o unto_o they_o be_v commit_v the_o oracle_n of_o god_n believe_v gentile_n and_o their_o child_n be_v one_o body_n and_o likewise_o a_o holy_a people_n 1_o cor._n 7.14_o and_o so_o they_o have_v a_o federal_n right_o unto_o the_o oracle_n of_o god_n as_o israel_n have_v of_o old_a 3._o baptism_n be_v a_o solemn_a dedication_n of_o our_o child_n unto_o god_n from_o who_o we_o receive_v they_o and_o it_o must_v be_v do_v by_o a_o solemn_a act_n by_o the_o parent_n consent_v in_o a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n or_o else_o it_o be_v but_o humane_a invention_n therefore_o if_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v do_v in_o that_o church_n ordinance_n namely_o

it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o reprobate_v any_o of_o they_o in_o our_o mind_n and_o say_v if_o i_o know_v which_o of_o my_o child_n be_v choose_v of_o god_n i_o will_v dedicate_v they_o only_o unto_o god_n in_o baptism_n for_o that_o indeed_o be_v a_o secret_a we_o ought_v not_o to_o pry_v into_o it_o be_v god_n prerogative_n only_o to_o know_v which_o of_o our_o child_n name_n be_v write_v
