definition_n of_o a_o church_n artic._n 19_o and_o according_o in_o this_o sense_n i_o grant_v the_o proposition_n and_o say_v that_o that_o society_n wherein_o baptism_n be_v thus_o administer_v and_o consist_v of_o party_n thus_o baptise_a that_o be_v a_o true_a church_n and_o he_o may_v save_v his_o labour_n to_o prove_v it_o because_o all_o christian_n will_v confess_v that_o such_o sacrament_n be_v peculiar_o to_o the_o church_n testimony_n of_o god_n gracious_a dignation_n and_o favour_n pledge_n of_o his_o invisible_a grace_n seal_v of_o the_o agreement_n between_o he_o and_o his_o church_n and_o badge_n to_o distinguish_v the_o same_o from_o all_o other_o because_o no_o society_n else_o do_v carry_v the_o like_a unto_o they_o in_o the_o thing_n themselves_o and_o the_o love_n of_o the_o church_n as_o this_o opponent_n set_v forth_o pag_n 33._o but_o i_o deny_v the_o assumption_n and_o say_v the_o romish_a baptism_n be_v the_o shell_n and_o relic_n of_o baptism_n and_o i_o will_v now_o make_v it_o appear_v though_o this_o opponent_n of_o we_o seem_v to_o be_v tragical_o move_v and_o in_o a_o pelt_a fume_n thereat_o insomuch_o that_o he_o confess_v himself_o to_o make_v good_a use_n of_o a_o bridle_n pag._n 46._o and_o 47._o and_o it_o be_v well_o so_o good_a a_o instrument_n be_v present_a for_o the_o further_o he_o have_v rove_v the_o more_o he_o have_v miss_v of_o the_o true_a mark_n the_o romish_a baptism_n be_v the_o shell_n and_o relic_n of_o baptism_n no_o baptism_n due_o administer_v as_o aforesaid_a i_o prove_v it_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o our_o church_n in_o the_o second_o homily_n for_o whitsuntide_n oftentimes_o already_o quote_v which_o express_o say_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v not_o order_v the_o sacrament_n and_o therefore_o this_o of_o baptism_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o christ_n do_v first_o institute_n and_o ordain_v they_o but_o have_v so_o intermingle_v their_o own_o tradition_n and_o invention_n by_o chap_a and_o change_v by_o add_v and_o pluck_v away_o that_o now_o they_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v convert_v into_o a_o new_a guise_n will_v our_o present_a opponent_n think_v this_o insufficient_a to_o prove_v the_o romish_a baptism_n a_o shell_n and_o relic_n of_o baptism_n i_o hope_v not_o if_o he_o do_v oppose_v it_o as_o not_o sufficient_a his_o partner_n word_n pag._n 17._o shall_v serve_v he_o o_o mouth_n o_o forehead_n and_o he_o well_o deserve_v it_o what_o one_o man_n instruct_v a_o whole_a church_n yea_o his_o mother_n that_o breed_v he_o who_o article_n of_o faith_n give_v he_o his_o first_o life_n and_o confirm_v he_o in_o it_o ever_o since_o nay_o will_v he_o affront_v himself_o yea_o himself_n not_o in_o transient_a word_n but_o in_o manent_fw-la letter_n his_o subscription_n make_v with_o his_o own_o hand_n for_o he_o have_v subscribe_v this_o homily_n perhaps_o he_o will_v say_v his_o latter_a thought_n be_v better_a than_o his_o first_o and_o to_o return_v to_o the_o better_a be_v more_o decent_a then_o to_o remain_v in_o the_o worser_o wherefore_o i_o will_v confirm_v the_o same_o thing_n by_o other_o proof_n which_o i_o frame_v thus_o the_o article_n &_o doctrine_n of_o divine_a faith_n of_o necessity_n be_v requisite_a to_o baptism_n i_o say_v requisite_a previal_o &_o by_o antecession_n not_o real_o and_o unto_o constitution_n such_o doctrine_n must_v precede_v the_o sacrament_n though_o formal_o it_o make_v not_o the_o sacrament_n i_o prove_v it_o god_n covenant_n and_o agreement_n with_o man_n of_o necessity_n must_v precede_v baptism_n for_o according_a to_o this_o opponent_n baptism_n be_v the_o seal_n thereof_o but_o the_o article_n of_o divine_a faith_n be_v god_n covenant_n and_o agreement_n with_o man_n therefore_o the_o article_n of_o divine_a say_v of_o necessity_n must_v precede_v baptism_n if_o they_o must_v so_o precede_v than_o the_o romish_a baptism_n be_v not_o administer_v according_a to_o christ_n ordinance_n in_o all_o thing_n of_o necessity_n requisite_a unto_o the_o same_o for_o the_o article_n of_o their_o faith_n be_v the_o pope_n and_o humane_a not_o god_n and_o divine_a as_o i_o have_v prove_v already_o if_o their_o baptism_n be_v not_o so_o administer_v than_o it_o be_v erroneous_a and_o none_o of_o christ_n ordination_n if_o that_o be_v so_o it_o be_v a_o shell_n and_o relic_n of_o baptism_n retain_v the_o outward_a ceremony_n and_o material_a form_n but_o want_v the_o inward_a life_n and_o true_a intention_n i_o answer_v further_o that_o society_n which_o consist_v of_o person_n baptize_v according_a to_o man_n invention_n that_o be_v not_o the_o true_a church_n for_o christ_n church_n and_o all_o the_o member_n thereof_o be_v sheep_n of_o his_o fold_n and_o hear_v his_o voice_n servant_n of_o his_o household_n and_o obey_v his_o will_n in_o this_o sense_n the_o proposition_n be_v false_a but_o the_o assumption_n be_v true_a we_o willing_o grant_v that_o the_o romish_a church_n consist_v of_o party_n baptize_v according_a unto_o man_n devise_v but_o this_o gain_v they_o nothing_o the_o proposition_n be_v false_a the_o conclusion_n be_v so_o too_o by_o way_n of_o reply_n to_o this_o answer_n he_o aver_v pag._n 45._o and_o 46_o that_o popish_a baptism_n be_v true_a baptism_n holy_a good_a and_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n but_o i_o know_v not_o what_o law_n will_v tie_v i_o to_o join_v thereunto_o because_o himself_o be_v uncertain_a and_o rest_v not_o in_o it_o one_o while_o he_o say_v he_o will_v not_o trouble_v himself_o to_o prove_v it_o till_o he_o know_v who_o deny_v it_o another_o while_n he_o take_v it_o to_o be_v out_o of_o all_o question_n and_o so_o do_v contradict_v himself_o for_o if_o at_o another_o time_n he_o will_v prove_v it_o than_o it_o need_v proof_n and_o consequent_o it_o be_v not_o without_o all_o question_n if_o it_o be_v without_o all_o question_n than_o it_o need_v no_o proof_n for_o according_a to_o aristotle_n nothing_o must_v be_v prove_v but_o thing_n that_o may_v be_v doubt_v of_o top._n lib._n 1._o cap._n 11._o and_o he_o esteem_v he_o mad_a who_o put_v that_o for_o a_o question_n that_o all_o man_n

be_v not_o guide_v by_o god_n spirit_n disgrace_v christ_n and_o the_o sacrament_n but_o our_o adversary_n in_o this_o cause_n so_o call_v the_o sacranent_n of_o baptism_n pag._n 35.47_o therefore_o our_o adversary_n in_o this_o cause_n be_v not_o guide_v by_o god_n spirit_n and_o disgrace_n christ_n and_o the_o sacrament_n i_o answer_v in_o the_o prosecution_n of_o the_o last_o argument_n we_o

that_o it_o may_v serve_v in_o any_o part_n of_o this_o question_n he_o shall_v have_v three_o pair_n so_o desirous_a be_v we_o to_o make_v use_n of_o stuff_n so_o precious_a let_v he_o do_v his_o

thing_n lest_o he_o mistake_v the_o matter_n and_o the_o learning_n of_o the_o disputer_n his_o mind_n can_v be_v at_o quiet_a the_o popish_a baptism_n be_v so_o great_a a_o more_o in_o his_o eye_n
