sabbatarian_o this_o with_o the_o preface_n take_v up_o 3_o page_n of_o the_o answer_n nevertheless_o that_o he_o may_v seem_v to_o say_v somewhat_o he_o turn_v opponent_n first_o he_o endeavour_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o covenant_n whereof_o circumcision_n be_v the_o sign_n be_v not_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n as_o have_v relation_n only_o to_o temporal_a promise_n take_v a_o branch_n

can_v give_v no_o ground_n for_o infant_n baptism_n nor_o bear_v a_o suitable_a parallel_n with_o it_o use_v argument_n which_o have_v be_v answer_v over_o and_o over_o and_o in_o a_o great_a part_n

to_o give_v they_o their_o full_a force_n amount_v to_o this_o that_o there_o be_v none_o such_o then_o present_a as_o he_o take_v for_o grant_v neither_o can_v any_o of_o they_o be_v child_n to_o
