know_v one_o of_o the_o first_o argument_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o infant_n baptism_n be_v that_o it_o wash_v away_o origional_a sin_n now_o because_o i_o say_v in_o opposition_n to_o

necessity_n of_o faith_n in_o they_o to_o apply_v it_o unto_o babe_n who_o neither_o know_v good_a nor_o evil._n two_o another_z strange_a position_n be_v because_o i_o say_v that_o as_o

true_a in_o his_o own_o opinion_n why_o shall_v it_o be_v a_o strange_a position_n why_o because_o i_o will_v not_o allow_v it_o come_v in_o the_o room_n of_o circumcision_n can_v i_o make_v two_o

must_v be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o door_n of_o my_o last_o the_o door_n of_o god_n gospel-house_n be_v large_a than_o the_o door_n of_o his_o legal_a house_n that_o door_n be_v only_o large_a enough_o for_o the_o jew_n and_o few_o poor_a proselyted_a gentile_n but_o the_o gospel_n door_n entertain_v all_o comer_n jew_n gentile_n barbarian_n sythians_n so_o that_o the_o first_o door_n can_v not_o
