covenant_n promise_n be_v make_v to_o abraham_n and_o his_o spiritual_a seed_n that_o be_v believer_n for_o they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o heir_n according_a to_o the_o promise_n

for_o those_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o christ_n namely_o to_o christ_n first_o and_o then_o to_o all_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n none_o can_v have_v a_o interest_n in_o they_o but_o as_o they_o be_v

believer_n be_v to_o be_v baptize_v because_o they_o have_v habitual_a faith_n i_o answer_v if_o by_o habitual_a faith_n our_o adversary_n understand_v a_o infuse_v habit_n of_o believe_v and_o that_o all_o the_o infant_n of_o believer_n have_v this_o infuse_v habit_n then_o let_v they_o produce_v some_o argument_n either_o from_o plain_a scripture_n good_a consequence_n or_o rectify_a reason_n

of_o i_o demand_v how_o they_o come_v to_o know_v that_o their_o infant_n have_v this_o power_n be_v it_o by_o revelation_n or_o by_o observation_n if_o by_o revelation_n then_o sure_o they_o have_v some_o text_n for_o it_o if_o by_o observation_n than_o their_o infant_n do_v demonstrate_v it_o by_o some_o act_n or_o other_o of_o believe_v but_o if_o neither_o of_o these_o way_n than_o not_o at_o all_o further_o we_o may_v not_o baptise_v infant_n upon_o a_o mere_a suppose_a power_n of_o believe_v because_o a_o bare_a supposition_n or_o presumption_n be_v a_o groundless_a bottom_n to_o go_v
