and_o in_o covenant_n with_o he_o they_o be_v as_o child_n not_o yet_o capable_a of_o act_v holiness_n 6._o if_o child_n be_v in_o covenant_n before_o christ_n and_o be_v reject_v since_o christ_n then_o will_v follow_v 1._o that_o we_o lose_v and_o gain_v not_o privilege_n by_o the_o incarnation_n and_o death_n of_o our_o ever_o bless_a saviour_n 13._o heb._n 8.6_o ephes_n 2.12_o 13._o it_o

be_v there_o no_o difference_n between_o the_o child_n of_o believer_n and_o the_o child_n of_o turk_n and_o infidel_n who_o when_o at_o be_v and_o be_v convert_v may_v be_v esteem_v christian_n and_o

whereby_o his_o child_n as_o yet_o within_o the_o covenant_n will_v be_v exclude_v 4._o then_o can_v we_o have_v no_o good_a visible_a ground_n for_o the_o hope_n of_o our_o child_n salvation_n if_o

i_o see_v how_o the_o anabaptist_n can_v think_v all_o child_n shall_v be_v save_v unless_o they_o be_v within_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o if_o they_o so_o think_v i_o humble_o suppose_v

of_o grace_n confirm_v to_o the_o receiver_n of_o it_o god_n reception_n of_o his_o soul_n into_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n and_o favour_n and_o a_o ratify_v the_o promise_n through_o christ_n make_v

and_o they_o when_o they_o come_v to_o age_n may_v be_v satisfy_v of_o their_o reception_n into_o that_o covenant_n wherein_o god_n engage_v to_o be_v their_o god_n and_o they_o engage_v to_o be_v his_o people_n 3._o the_o seal_n proper_o belong_v to_o they_o who_o have_v right_o to_o the_o covenant_n and_o its_o blessing_n else_o will_v it_o be_v set_v to_o a_o blank_a they_o who_o be_v not_o in_o the_o covenant_n not_o have_v any_o right_n to_o its_o blessing_n can_v have_v no_o plea_n for_o their_o admission_n to_o its_o seal_n but_o they_o who_o have_v both_o the_o former_a can_v sure_o

of_o blessing_n which_o in_o god_n esteem_n they_o be_v capable_a of_o minor_n the_o other_o proposition_n that_o child_n have_v right_o to_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o covenant_n will_v not_o i_o

doubtless_o if_o other_o shall_v be_v belove_v of_o god_n and_o save_v because_o like_a child_n god_n will_v save_v and_o do_v love_v these_o who_o those_o be_v like_a if_o i_o promise_v my_o favour_n

why_o they_o may_v not_o be_v baptise_a sure_o there_o be_v not_o more_o require_v to_o fit_v one_o for_o baptism_n than_o for_o salvation_n if_o faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v as_o they_o plead_v

what_o qualify_v they_o for_o the_o less_o argument_n v._o those_o who_o be_v capable_a of_o be_v engage_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n be_v capable_a of_o baptism_n but_o child_n be_v capable_a of_o

that_o those_o who_o be_v capable_a of_o be_v engage_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n be_v capable_a of_o baptism_n because_o by_o baptism_n a_o covenant_n be_v make_v between_o god_n and_o the_o soul_n
