neither_o warrant_n for_o it_o nor_o precedent_n the_o like_a difference_n be_v at_o this_o day_n among_o our_o professor_n one_o sort_n will_v not_o sociate_n with_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o

for_o we_o will_v yield_v thou_o that_o which_o be_v sufficient_a i_o say_v more_o unto_o thou_o that_o one_o may_v be_v save_v without_o any_o knowledge_n at_o all_o know_v you_o what_o you_o say_v

that_o such_o shall_v go_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o what_o shall_v let_v it_o be_v without_o original_a sin_n because_o that_o be_v wash_v away_o in_o baptism_n and_o actual_a sin_n it_o never_o commit_v any_o by_o reason_n it_o want_v the_o use_n of_o freewill_n beside_o the_o infant_n after_o baptism_n be_v within_o the_o covenant_n and_o unite_v to_o god_n by_o his_o grace_n and_o god_n can_v deny_v either_o his_o grace_n or_o his_o covenant_n now_o if_o the_o poor_a infant_n shall_v be_v save_v without_o any_o knowledge_n at_o all_o why_o then_o shall_v thou_o think_v that_o thou_o can_v not_o be_v save_v with_o mean_a knowledge_n fit_a for_o thy_o estate_n but_o thou_o will_v say_v the_o infant_n be_v not_o suffer_v to_o live_v to_o the_o mean_n of_o knowledge_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v excuse_v for_o the_o want_n of_o it_o then_o what_o say_v thou_o to_o the_o man_n and_o woman_n which_o want_v the_o gift_n of_o understanding_n who_o some_o call_v fool_n some_o innocent_n who_o know_v not_o the_o right_a hand_n from_o the_o left_a or_o whether_o there_o be_v a_o heaven_n or_o a_o hell_n what_o shall_v these_o be_v damn_v which_o want_n the_o
