if_o not_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v declare_v that_o all_o may_v know_v where_o to_o stop_v and_o to_o understand_v that_o this_o privilege_n be_v not_o to_o exceed_v the_o three_o generation_n again_o if_o not_o it_o be_v strange_a that_o a_o child_n shall_v be_v beget_v or_o bear_v of_o a_o member_n and_o yet_o itself_o be_v no_o member_n or_o if_o a_o member_n have_v no_o right_n to_o baptism_n 2._o if_o so_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v by_o what_o right_a or_o where_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o their_o right_n to_o baptism_n not_o in_o the_o grandfather_n or_o great-grandfather_n that_o be_v general_o dislike_v and_o the_o second_o proposition_n do_v limit_v it_o otherwise_o but_o in_o the_o immediate_a parent_n i_o suppose_v but_o how_o be_v the_o right_n of_o these_o child_n baptism_n found_v upon_o he_o not_o upon_o his_o personal_a confederate_n for_o it_o be_v suppose_v there_o be_v none_o nor_o upon_o his_o own_v the_o covenant_n of_o his_o

forth_o in_o the_o five_o proposition_n it_o remain_v therefore_o that_o this_o parent_n of_o the_o three_o generation_n do_v own_o what_o his_o parent_n of_o the_o second_o generation_n he_o can_v go_v no_o high_a have_v do_v and_o what_o be_v that_o he_o enter_v not_o into_o covenant_n but_o only_o own_v the_o covenant_n that_o his_o father_n enter_v into_o and_o thus_o these_o last_o child_n who_o be_v of_o the_o four_o generation_n do_v come_v to_o have_v right_a to_o baptism_n not_o by_o their_o parent_n confederation_n as_o the_o second_o sort_n mention_v in_o the_o second_o proposition_n nor_o by_o their_o parent_n own_v their_o father_n covenant_n as_o the_o three_o sort_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o five_o proposition_n but_o by_o these_o parent_n of_o the_o three_o generation_n own_v their_o parent_n of_o the_o second_o generation_n own_v the_o covenant_n of_o their_o father_n of_o the_o first_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o uncouth_a way_n and_o very_o unpleasant_a divinity_n vii_o the_o six_o proposition_n i_o look_v at_o as_o a_o exception_n to_o the_o five_o otherwise_o it_o be_v cross_v unto_o it_o and_o against_o it_o to_o this_o i_o say_v 1._o if_o there_o be_v any_o weight_n in_o the_o argument_n use_v under_o the_o six_o consideration_n against_o the_o baptise_v of_o child_n to_o who_o the_o five_o proposition_n do_v allow_v baptism_n then_o they_o be_v likewise_o of_o force_n against_o the_o baptise_v of_o child_n mention_v in_o this_o six_o proposition_n 2._o i_o can_v but_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o several_a sort_n of_o membership_n all_o give_v right_o to_o baptism_n two_o in_o the_o second_o proposition_n a_o three_o in_o the_o five_o a_o four_o in_o the_o six_o and_o if_o membership_n without_o personal_a

all_o these_o be_v differ_v one_o from_o the_o other_o the_o two_o first_o be_v of_o god_n and_o according_a to_o his_o word_n the_o rest_n be_v not_o viii_o the_o last_o proposition_n seem_v to_o
