though_o they_o have_v no_o positive_a right_n unto_o baptism_n §_o 2._o the_o antipaedo_fw-la baptist_n main_a ground_n on_o which_o they_o build_v their_o opinion_n of_o the_o unlawfulness_n of_o

but_o in_o all_o the_o scripture_n there_o be_v no_o one_o text_n that_o either_o command_n or_o give_v a_o example_n of_o infant_n baptism_n therefore_o it_o be_v unlawful_a §_o 3._o in_o

what_o some_o text_n of_o scripture_n do_v command_v or_o give_v example_n of_o than_o nothing_o will_v be_v lawful_a to_o be_v believe_v but_o what_o some_o text_n of_o scripture_n do_v affirm_v for_o it_o be_v as_o necessary_a that_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o scripture_n affirmation_n for_o what_o we_o believe_v as_o a_o scripture_n command_n or_o example_n for_o what_o we_o practice_n and_o

if_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v and_o practise_v they_o shall_v become_v unlawful_a to_o we_o because_o there_o be_v in_o all_o the_o scripture_n not_o one_o text_n that_o affirm_v the_o one_o or_o
