and_o our_o friendly_a relation_n with_o christ_n and_o therefore_o duty_n john_n 14.23_o and_o 15.14_o these_o reason_n dear_a friend_n i_o have_v give_v to_o you_o to_o confirm_v what_o before_o i_o

the_o baprize_n of_o infant_n which_o be_v the_o very_a point_n in_o controversy_n and_o because_o i_o desire_v to_o speak_v direct_o to_o the_o question_n as_o it_o be_v state_v i_o shall_v here_o rehearse_v to_o you_o what_o the_o question_n be_v and_o what_o they_o be_v to_o prove_v and_o what_o we_o be_v to_o prove_v the_o question_n be_v whether_o infant_n of_o believe_a parent_n be_v to_o be_v baptise_v ye●_z or_o no_o they_o be_v to_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v their_o duty_n and_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v it_o we_o be_v to_o prove_v that_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o do_v it_o i_o shall_v not_o at_o all_o go_v about_o to_o meddle_v with_o the_o justify_n of_o our_o practice_n concerning_o the_o baptise_n of_o believer_n for_o that_o be_v not_o the_o point_n in_o hand_n though_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o it_o have_v be_v but_o a_o reasonable_a thing_n for_o they_o by_o scripture_n to_o endeavour_v to_o justify_v their_o practice_n and_o we_o by_o scripture_n to_o justify_v we_o and_o then_o neither_o of_o we_o will_v have_v be_v put_v upon_o the_o proof_n of_o a_o negative_a which_o every_o rational_a man_n know_v be_v the_o worst_a and_o of_o the_o staff_n but_o see_v it_o be_v so_o i_o shall_v therefore_o direct_v my_o speech_n to_o give_v forth_o my_o judgement_n concerning_o that_o thing_n the_o reason_n that_o i_o shall_v at_o this_o time_n lie_v down_o according_a to_o time_n and_o strength_n why_o child_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v baptise_v be_v these_o argum._n 1_o the_o first_o be_v this_o that_o which_o do_v not_o only_o accidental_o but_o direct_o deny_v christ_n to_o be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n that_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v do_v but_o the_o baptise_n of_o infant_n do_v direct_o deny_v christ_n to_o be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n therefore_o ought_v it_o not_o to_o be_v do_v i_o know_v that_o no_o man_n can_v deny_v the_o major_a which_o be_v so_o clear_o confirm_v 1_o john_n 4.3_o with_o divers_a other_o place_n but_o at_o this_o time_n i_o will_v prove_v the_o minor_a that_o baptise_v of_o infant_n do_v direct_o deny_v christ_n to_o be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o that_o i_o prove_v thus_o that_o which_o do_v keep_v on_o foot_n that_o which_o be_v before_o christ_n and_o end_v by_o christ_n consider_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n that_o deny_v christ_n to_o be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n but_o the_o baptise_n of_o infant_n do_v keep_v on_o foot_n that_o which_o be_v before_o christ_n and_o end_v by_o christ_n as_o come_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o it_o deny_v christ_n to_o be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o first_o i_o shall_v unfold_v to_o you_o what_o i_o mean_v by_o that_o which_o be_v before_o christ_n and_o end_v by_o christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n that_o which_o be_v before_o christ_n be_v that_o god_n make_v a_o covenant_n with_o abraham_n which_o covenant_n run_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o be_v entail_v to_o generation_n and_o not_o upon_o condition_n of_o regeneration_n and_o this_o you_o may_v see_v gen._n 17.7_o 12._o and_o this_o be_v that_o covenant_n that_o circumcision_n of_o child_n have_v a_o reference_n to_o and_o whosoever_o be_v a_o child_n of_o abraham_n consider_v as_o a_o son_n of_o the_o flesh_n have_v a_o right_a to_o it_o and_o may_v and_o do_v plead_v for_o privilege_n by_o it_o but_o when_o christ_n come_v the_o natural_a branch_n be_v cut_v off_o rom._n 11.20_o 21._o and_o no_o man_n be_v now_o consider_v a_o son_n of_o abraham_n or_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n but_o as_o he_o believe_v gal._n 3.7_o 9_o 14_o 22_o 28_o 29._o and_o now_o there_o be_v no_o promise_n that_o run_v forth_o to_o any_o consider_v in_o referened_a to_o a_o carnal_a generation_n but_o a_o spiritual_a regeneration_n john_n 3_o 5._o therefore_o when_o they_o come_v to_o john_n matth._n 3.7_o 8_o 9_o to_o be_v baptise_v he_o take_v they_o off_o from_o plead_v their_o privilege_n consider_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o tell_v they_o say_v not_o in_o your_o heart_n you_o have_v abraham_n to_o your_o father_n and_o so_o plead_v for_o baptism_n but_o he_o exhort_v they_o to_o believe_v and_o repent_v and_o by_o this_o you_o see_v what_o i_o mean_v by_o that_o which_o be_v before_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o promise_n and_o covenant_n run_v in_o a_o natural_a line_n but_o it_o be_v now_o end_v and_o run_v in_o a_o spiritual_a but_o now_o to_o baptise_v child_n because_o their_o parent_n believe_v and_o upon_o this_o ground_n because_o it_o be_v the_o same_o as_o they_o say_v with_o circumcision_n in_o so_o do_v they_o go_v about_o to_o make_v the_o promise_n to_o run_v in_o a_o natural_a line_n which_o be_v end_v by_o christ_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o observe_n of_o it_o deny_v christ_n to_o be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n second_o that_o which_o do_v direct_o take_v from_o christ_n that_o which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n give_v to_o christ_n consider_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n that_o deny_v christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n but_o the_o baptise_n of_o infant_n do_v direct_o take_v from_o christ_n that_o which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n give_v to_o christ_n consider_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n therefore_o it_o deny_v christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o i_o shall_v declare_v to_o you_o what_o i_o mean_v by_o that_o which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n give_v to_o christ_n consider_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n the_o holy_a ghost_n give_v to_o christ_n a_o preeminence_n above_o all_o other_o that_o be_v before_o he_o in_o his_o prophetical_a and_o kingly_a office_n 2.9_o in_o his_o prophetical_a office_n 24.19_o that_o neither_o moses_n nor_o the_o prophet_n be_v to_o be_v compare_v with_o he_o but_o far_o inferior_a to_o he_o and_o his_o office_n so_o inferior_a that_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v expound_v by_o they_o but_o in_o give_v out_o his_o mind_n consider_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n he_o be_v to_o expound_v and_o unfold_v they_o but_o now_o man_n in_o their_o go_n about_o to_o plead_v for_o the_o baptise_n of_o infant_n do_v exceed_o undervalue_v christ_n prophetical_a office_n in_o this_o that_o they_o make_v the_o old_a testament_n expound_v the_o new_a 28._o whereas_o the_o new_a shall_v expound_v the_o old_a christ_n shall_v and_o do_v expound_v moses_n but_o there_o be_v no_o warrant_n for_o we_o to_o bring_v christ_n under_o the_o
