be_v communicate_v unto_o no_o creature_n two_o now_o whereas_o in_o the_o scripture_n and_o in_o the_o write_n of_o the_o father_n that_o be_v sometime_o ascribe_v unto_o the_o outward_a baptism_n

the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o principle_n concern_v baptism_n lix_n we_o have_v disputed_a in_o the_o former_a principle_n touch_v the_o cause_n and_o effect_n of_o baptism_n it_o follow_v that_o we_o deal_v with_o those_o thing_n touch_v the_o same_o argument_n which_o we_o refer_v unto_o this_o disputation_n 1_o the_o subject_n of_o baptism_n be_v he_o who_o be_v baptize_v and_o all_o those_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v who_o in_o regard_n of_o likelihood_n be_v contain_v within_o the_o covenant_n of_o god_n 2_o now_o the_o infant_n that_o be_v the_o progeny_n of_o believe_v parent_n and_o also_o those_o who_o be_v of_o full_a age_n do_v offer_v themselves_o unto_o the_o church_n by_o make_v profession_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o yield_v their_o consent_n unto_o the_o doctrine_n therein_o prefess_v be_v to_o be_v account_v within_o the_o covenant_n 3_o we_o hold_v that_o they_o who_o be_v of_o full_a age_n be_v not_o to_o be_v receive_v unto_o baptism_n before_o such_o time_n as_o they_o be_v instruct_v and_o have_v yield_v a_o confession_n of_o their_o true_a faith_n together_o with_o a_o protestation_n that_o they_o will_v lead_v a_o better_a life_n because_o for_o more_o assurance_n the_o confession_n of_o the_o mouth_n be_v to_o be_v require_v at_o their_o hand_n 4_o touch_v infant_n see_v our_o adoption_n do_v not_o depend_v upon_o ourselves_o or_o upon_o

god_n and_o the_o god_n of_o thy_o seed_n and_o again_o i_o will_v be_v the_o god_n of_o those_o that_o fear_v i_o unto_o a_o thousand_o generation_n and_o although_o that_o infant_n be_v not_o endue_v with_o actual_a faith_n which_o be_v by_o hear_v yet_o do_v we_o at_o this_o day_n just_o baptize_v as_o in_o time_n past_a they_o be_v circumcise_v the_o infant_n of_o the_o saint_n because_o they_o be_v comprehend_v with_o in_o the_o covenaunt_n of_o eternal_a life_n by_o mean_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o their_o parent_n 5_o it_o make_v nothing_o against_o this_o point_n that_o all_o who_o be_v bear_v of_o faithful_a parent_n be_v not_o elect_v for_o if_o this_o reason_n may_v prevail_v we_o will_v hardly_o be_v draw_v to_o admit_v those_o that_o be_v of_o year_n see_v all_o that_o profess_v be_v not_o elect_v it_o be_v not_o our_o part_n to_o inquire_v into_o those_o secret_a mystery_n of_o god_n but_o we_o may_v just_o presuppose_v that_o both_o all_o their_o child_n who_o profess_v christianity_n and_o all_o those_o also_o who_o be_v of_o full_a year_n do_v make_v profession_n of_o true_a faith_n be_v elect_v unto_o eternal_a life_n 6_o whereas_o every_o man_n be_v say_v to_o be_v save_v by_o his_o own_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o another_o man_n it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v only_o of_o those_o that_o be_v of_o year_n and_o we_o can_v allow_v of_o the_o opinion_n concern_v the_o actual_a faith_n of_o infant_n but_o leave_v unto_o god_n his_o secret_a judgement_n we_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o the_o faithful_a parent_n do_v according_a unto_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n apprehend_v the_o promise_n both_o to_o themselves_o and_o also_o to_o their_o child_n 7_o now_o the_o sacramental_a add_v of_o the_o seal_n do_v presuppose_v that_o which_o be_v seal_v to_o be_v present_a indeed_o namely_o that_o the_o party_n baptize_v be_v by_o likelihood_n comprehend_v within_o the_o covenant_n 8_o if_o not_o well_o order_v church_n do_v ever_o admit_v either_o jew_n or_o turk_n be_v of_o year_n or_o any_o other_o the_o profess_a enemy_n of_o christ_n until_o they_o have_v be_v catechise_v and_o make_v open_a profession_n of_o christianity_n much_o less_o cann_v any_o receive_v their_o child_n but_o with_o the_o manifest_a profanation_n of_o baptism_n 9_o touch_v papist_n we_o be_v in_o some_o sort_n to_o think_v otherwise_o of_o they_o in_o asmuch_o as_o we_o may_v just_o presuppose_v that_o the_o church_n do_v as_o yet_o remain_v within_o the_o filthiness_n of_o popery_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o elect_a that_o be_v in_o their_o time_n to_o be_v draw_v out_o of_o that_o mire_n because_o that_o the_o seal_n of_o christianity_n though_o defile_v with_o many_o spot_n and_o stain_n have_v continue_v among_o they_o in_o the_o substantial_a form_n thereof_o as_o also_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christianity_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v of_o judgement_n that_o the_o child_n of_o papist_n may_v be_v receive_v unto_o baptism_n if_o either_o one_o of_o the_o parent_n do_v require_v the_o same_o or_o some_o man_n be_v present_a that_o will_v promise_v their_o right_n bring_v up_o 10_o it_o be_v a_o great_a error_n to_o tie_v salvation_n unto_o the_o outward_a sacrament_n as_o though_o they_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a thereunto_o which_o the_o papist_n themselves_o that_o be_v of_o any_o sound_a judgement_n do_v not_o altogether_o hold_v and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o that_o despise_v the_o mark_n of_o the_o covenant_n be_v just_o guilty_a of_o eternal_a death_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o the_o want_n but_o the_o contempt_n of_o baptism_n that_o be_v damnable_a the_o which_o sin_n as_o also_o all_o other_o may_v be_v do_v away_o by_o true_a repentance_n 11_o now_o he_o can_v be_v account_v a_o contemner_n of_o baptism_n who_o want_v opportunity_n to_o receive_v the_o same_o lawful_o and_o therefore_o we_o do_v cast_v away_o these_o case_n of_o necessity_n and_o all_o the_o corruption_n bring_v into_o the_o church_n upon_o this_o occasion_n as_o be_v the_o invention_n of_o man_n 12_o the_o effect_n of_o baptism_n administer_v either_o unto_o infant_n or_o unto_o those_o that_o be_v of_o age_n be_v not_o to_o be_v tie_v unto_o the_o very_a time_n of_o the_o administration_n thereof_o for_o the_o seed_n both_o of_o the_o word_n and_o also_o of_o the_o sacrament_n lie_v as_o it_o be_v bury_v in_o the_o earth_n as_o long_o as_o it_o please_v god_n to_o defer_v his_o grace_n 13_o now_o see_v we_o be_v baptize_v for_o our_o whole_a life_n after_o and_o that_o christ_n do_v never_o cast_v away_o those_o that_o be_v give_v he_o it_o follow_v that_o baptism_n be_v not_o to_o be_v itterate_v we_o do_v therefore_o condemn_v rebaptisation_n neither_o can_v we_o in_o this_o point_n allow_v of_o cyprian_a and_o the_o african_a church_n and_o especial_o of_o that_o false_a and_o dangerous_a opinion_n which_o hold_v that_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n past_a be_v only_o seal_v by_o baptism_n whence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o some_o do_v very_o careless_o defer_v baptism_n unto_o their_o last_o end_n 14_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n and_o of_o christ_n be_v one_o and_o the_o

sense_n whereof_o we_o now_o speak_v yet_o those_o godly_a father_n have_v add_v nothing_o unto_o the_o word_n when_o as_o they_o use_v these_o term_n for_o the_o express_v of_o the_o say_a rite_n 4_o now_o because_o the_o word_n sacrament_n be_v by_o the_o latin_a father_n refer_v unto_o all_o kind_n of_o sign_n which_o be_v use_v to_o express_v holy_a thing_n it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o in_o this_o discourse_n the_o same_o be_v particular_o refer_v unto_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o that_o two_o manner_n of_o way_n for_o a_o sacrament_n do_v sometime_o comprehend_v the_o external_a sign_n only_o and_o sometime_o the_o thing_n signify_v together_o with_o the_o sign_n and_o a_o certain_a holy_a action_n also_o 5_o sacrament_n take_v in_o the_o former_a signification_n we_o define_v to_o be_v certain_a visible_a sign_n institute_v by_o god_n unto_o the_o use_n of_o the_o church_n where_o by_o god_n do_v seal_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o faithful_a the_o promise_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o free_a salvation_n by_o christ_n and_o so_o do_v more_o and_o more_o confirm_v their_o faith_n and_o witness_v the_o fellowship_n which_o the_o saint_n have_v among_o themselves_o under_o christ_n their_o head_n 6_o in_o the_o latter_a sense_n we_o define_v they_o to_o be_v a_o certain_a holy_a action_n enjoin_v by_o god_n unto_o the_o church_n wherein_o as_o god_n in_o a_o kind_n of_o agreeable_a proportion_n between_o the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v offer_v unto_o the_o sense_n of_o our_o body_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o minister_n the_o thing_n that_o appertain_v unto_o our_o salvation_n in_o christ_n so_o do_v he_o give_v unto_o our_o soul_n the_o heavenly_a thing_n themselves_o to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o shall_v spiritual_o by_o faith_n be_v more_o &_o more_o seal_v in_o they_o 7_o by_o sign_n in_o this_o place_n we_o understand_v not_o natural_a or_o miraculous_a but_o voluntary_a sign_n because_o they_o be_v ordain_v by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n to_o be_v sign_n of_o his_o grace_n in_o christ_n which_o by_o nature_n they_o be_v not_o neither_o be_v they_o sign_n only_o but_o partly_o remembraunce_n of_o thing_n past_a and_o partly_o seal_v of_o thing_n present_a and_o also_o to_o come_v 8_o but_o now_o we_o will_v consider_v in_o order_n of_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o sacrament_n the_o efficient_a be_v god_n only_o because_o that_o as_o it_o appertain_v to_o he_o alone_o to_o promise_v grace_n so_o do_v it_o also_o to_o add_v the_o seal_n thereof_o thereunto_o therefore_o also_o there_o be_v neither_o any_o other_o sacrament_n to_o be_v receive_v into_o the_o church_n neither_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o the_o institution_n to_o be_v any_o wise_a violate_a whosoever_o therefore_o do_v break_v out_o into_o that_o boldness_n that_o either_o they_o dare_v coin_v new_a sacrament_n or_o add_v any_o unto_o those_o that_o be_v appoint_v by_o the_o lord_n or_o detract_v any_o title_n from_o they_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o treason_n against_o the_o majesty_n of_o the_o high_a 9_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n the_o one_o external_a and_o corporal_a which_o be_v perceave_v by_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o body_n the_o other_o inward_a and_o spiritual_a offer_v unto_o the_o mind_n and_o the_o soul_n 10_o the_o form_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n comprehend_v in_o his_o word_n for_o the_o sacrament_n be_v that_o altogether_o and_o nothing_o else_o which_o god_n by_o the_o word_n of_o his_o divine_a institution_n do_v testify_v that_o he_o will_v have_v they_o to_o be_v so_o that_o the_o word_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o sacrament_n in_o regard_n that_o it_o testify_v what_o the_o divine_a ordinance_n be_v they_o do_v therefore_o abolish_v the_o sacrament_n who_o either_o altogether_o omit_v this_o word_n in_o the_o administration_n of_o they_o or_o use_v the_o same_o in_o a_o strange_a tongue_n 11_o the_o chief_a end_n of_o they_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o be_v the_o salvation_n of_o the_o faithful_a by_o seal_v their_o conjunction_n with_o christ_n for_o god_n not_o content_v with_o the_o general_a preach_v of_o his_o promise_n think_v it_o meet_v to_o seal_v and_o to_o offer_v they_o in_o special_a unto_o every_o particular_a believer_n have_v a_o regard_n thereby_o to_o their_o infirmity_n 12_o other_o end_n also_o they_o have_v which_o be_v of_o great_a moment_n as_o that_o by_o they_o we_o shall_v be_v put_v in_o remembrance_n of_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n that_o the_o church_n shall_v be_v distinguish_v from_o other_o sect_n for_o as_o god_n will_v be_v discern_v from_o idol_n so_o he_o will_v have_v his_o people_n sever_v by_o these_o

testification_n of_o the_o only_a true_a religion_n and_o of_o our_o duty_n towards_o our_o god_n 13_o now_o the_o instrument_n to_o use_v the_o sacrament_n aright_o be_v faith_n whence_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o faithful_a only_o do_v receive_v they_o as_o it_o be_v meet_v whereas_o all_o other_o do_v participate_v the_o outward_a sign_n only_o and_o that_o to_o their_o condemnation_n they_o err_v therefore_o who_o hold_v that_o unbelever_n do_v receive_v the_o thing_n signify_v that_o be_v christ_n together_o with_o the_o sign_n and_o they_o also_o do_v over-wickedlie_a abuse_v the_o sacrament_n who_o administer_v they_o to_o thing_n without_o life_n 14_o the_o change_n of_o the_o sign_n in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o natural_a but_o respective_a by_o virtue_n of_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n for_o the_o sign_n be_v change_v not_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o nature_n but_o only_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o use_n namely_o whereas_o the_o thing_n which_o before_o be_v common_a be_v by_o god_n commandment_n become_v the_o sign_n of_o hevenlie_a thing_n and_o this_o be_v the_o consecration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n they_o err_v therefore_o and_o destroy_v the_o whole_a nature_n of_o the_o sacrament_n who_o teach_v that_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o sign_n be_v as_o it_o be_v by_o a_o kind_n of_o magical_a enchantment_n either_o change_v or_o abolish_v 15_o the_o conjunction_n of_o the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v be_v also_o respective_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n whereby_o invisible_a and_o incorporal_a thing_n be_v in_o

17_o the_o sacramental_a speech_n and_o phrase_n be_v either_o proper_a or_o figurative_a proper_a as_o when_o that_o which_o appertain_v unto_o the_o sign_n be_v attribute_v unto_o the_o same_o &_o

be_v it_o true_a or_o be_v it_o false_a except_o they_o be_v tie_v by_o some_o kind_n of_o visible_a thing_n and_o sacrament_n hence_o it_o come_v that_o the_o church_n either_o under_o the_o old_a

in_o their_o efficient_a and_o final_a cause_n 5_o their_o efficient_a cause_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o namely_o god_n the_o author_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o both_o the_o covenaunt_n who_o

the_o difference_n consist_v in_o the_o manner_n and_o measure_n of_o signifi_v or_o apply_v christ_n and_o also_o in_o the_o outward_a matter_n form_n and_o number_n 8_o for_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n do_v signify_v christ_n to_o come_v and_o therefore_o at_o his_o come_n they_o cease_v and_o we_o come_v in_o their_o place_n wherefore_o they_o be_v just_o condemn_v by_o the_o apostle_n who_o teach_v that_o circumcision_n be_v to_o be_v join_v unto_o baptism_n as_o be_v as_o yet_o necessary_a unto_o salvation_n and_o a_o few_o year_n after_o the_o ebionite_n who_o

and_o they_o be_v therefore_o establish_v with_o new_a sign_n that_o be_v to_o continue_v unto_o the_o world_n end_n whereas_o the_o other_o be_v only_o appoint_v for_o some_o certain_a time_n 10_o the_o near_a furthermore_o that_o christ_n have_v manifest_v himself_o unto_o we_o by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o clear_o do_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n lay_v he_o before_o us._n for_o thing_n that_o be_v pass_v be_v better_o know_v than_o these_o that_o be_v to_o come_v and_o therefore_o augustine_n have_v say_v well_o that_o we_o have_v few_o sacrament_n than_o the_o jew_n have_v but_o yet_o clear_a and_o a_o great_a deal_n more_o significative_a and_o therefore_o of_o great_a efficacy_n to_o confirm_v our_o faith_n and_o to_o seal_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n in_o our_o heart_n 11_o the_o which_o say_v of_o augustine_n be_v to_o be_v right_o understand_v for_o we_o think_v not_o as_o the_o schoolman_n do_v that_o they_o under_o the_o law_n have_v the_o same_o

yet_o do_v god_n just_o punish_v in_o they_o the_o contempt_n of_o his_o grace_n offer_v 14_o again_o see_v the_o question_n in_o this_o point_n be_v only_o touch_v the_o soul_n and_o the_o feed_n
