the_o question_n than_o be_v where_o the_o institution_n for_o the_o baptise_v of_o infant_n be_v if_o they_o say_v that_o to_o abraham_n i_o answer_v that_o be_v to_o circumcise_v not_o to_o

then_o must_v they_o observe_v it_o in_o every_o thing_n for_o so_o do_v abraham_n who_o have_v sin_v in_o do_v otherwise_o in_o any_o thing_n but_o here_o say_v they_o we_o have_v another_o

then_o to_o baptise_v they_o so_o make_v for_o so_o be_v the_o institution_n and_o no_o otherwise_o but_o here_o they_o say_v it_o be_v not_o any_o where_o forbid_v to_o baptise_v infant_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v as_o much_o forbid_v as_o it_o be_v forbid_v abraham_n to_o circumcise_v his_o female_n for_o it_o be_v not_o say_v to_o he_o thou_o shall_v not_o circumcise_v thy_o female_n nor_o thou_o shall_v not_o circumcise_v any_o other_o save_o such_o and_o such_o nor_o only_o these_o and_o these_o and_o whosoever_o therefore_o be_v not_o include_v in_o the_o

forbid_v he_o they_o further_o say_v that_o infant_n now_o be_v as_o capable_a of_o baptism_n with_o all_o its_o signification_n as_o infant_n than_o be_v of_o circumcision_n they_o see_v no_o

require_v of_o every_o meet_a subject_n as_o before_o be_v show_v in_o this_o sense_n they_o be_v not_o capable_a but_o if_o they_o mean_v although_o they_o be_v infant_n yet_o they_o may_v be_v baptize_v in_o water_n and_o be_v as_o capable_a to_o endure_v it_o as_o infant_n than_o be_v to_o be_v circumcise_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o so_o be_v all_o infant_n in_o the_o world_n capable_a of_o baptism_n and_o so_o all_o infant_n from_o adam_n to_o abraham_n be_v capable_a of_o circumcision_n i_o demand_v of_o they_o why_o these_o be_v not_o circumcise_v they_o will_v say_v because_o circumcision_n be_v not_o then_o command_v but_o as_o soon_o as_o it_o be_v command_v it_o be_v do_v then_o must_v we_o baptize_v infant_n when_o we_o be_v command_v to_o do_v it_o and_o not_o before_o notwithstanding_o their_o be_v thus_o capable_a thereof_o with_o all_o its_o significationss_n object_n god_n give_v to_o infant_n circumcision_n which_o be_v a_o sign_n and_o

that_o be_v not_o therein_o therefore_o infant_n be_v in_o the_o covenant_n have_v faith_n and_o regeneration_n and_o so_o ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v now_o as_o well_o as_o circumcise_v then_o answ_n
