contrary_a be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o eight_o chapter_n wherein_o it_o appear_v that_o after_o these_o thing_n paul_n come_v to_o corinth_n and_o continue_v there_o a_o year_n and_o six_o month_n

commandment_n to_o abstain_v from_o meat_n and_o thing_n strangle_v and_o from_o blood_n be_v now_o abolish_v i_o must_v confess_v that_o if_o any_o person_n will_v keep_v himself_o wholesome_a and_o have_v a_o mild_a and_o benign_a temper_n he_o ought_v to_o abstain_v from_o both_o for_o see_v that_o axiom_n be_v receive_v among_o physician_n ex_fw-la his_fw-la constamus_fw-la ex_fw-la

i_o have_v make_v it_o appear_v already_o and_o therefore_o when_o the_o church_n of_o england_n eat_v thing_n strangle_v and_o blood_n it_o be_v not_o true_a that_o they_o believe_v and_o practice_v any_o thing_n now_o forbid_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n object_n the_o church_n of_o england_n believe_v and_o put_v it_o in_o practice_n that_o we_o ought_v to_o baptize_v young_a child_n before_o

of_o the_o baptism_n of_o adult_n person_n i_o mean_v of_o they_o that_o can_v be_v instruct_v and_o be_v able_a of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n as_o it_o appear_v by_o these_o text_n teach_v all_o

name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o remission_n of_o sin_n if_o you_o believe_v you_o may_v be_v baptize_v therefore_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v not_o the_o holy_a catholic_n church_n since_o she_o believe_v and_o practise_v a_o article_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v not_o agreeable_a to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n answ_n first_o i_o grant_v that_o the_o baptism_n of_o young_a child_n be_v not_o necessary_a necessitate_v medii_fw-la as_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n believe_v teach_v that_o they_o can_v possible_o be_v save_v unless_o they_o receive_v the_o water_n of_o baptism_n because_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n do_v not_o always_o depend_v upon_o element_n which_o be_v not_o in_o our_o power_n at_o every_o time_n and_o the_o baptism_n that_o save_v we_o say_v st._n peter_n 21._o be_v not_o that_o that_o put_v away_o the_o filth_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n towards_o god_n by_o the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n therefore_o that_o which_o shut_v the_o gate_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n against_o we_o be_v not_o a_o mere_a and_o innocent_a privation_n of_o baptism_n but_o the_o contempt_n and_o profanation_n of_o it_o and_o a_o bad_a conscience_n which_o will_v not_o forsake_v sin_n second_o i_o say_v that_o the_o baptism_n of_o young_a child_n be_v necessary_a necessitate_v praecepti_fw-la that_o be_v to_o say_v as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o obey_v the_o commandment_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o though_o this_o precept_n be_v not_o find_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n in_o distinct_a and_o express_a word_n yet_o it_o may_v be_v infer_v from_o thence_o by_o clear_a and_o necessary_a consequence_n my_o first_o proof_n concern_v the_o baptism_n of_o young_a child_n be_v from_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n wherein_o god_n make_v appear_v the_o eternal_a riches_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o compassion_n in_o so_o great_a a_o measure_n that_o he_o receive_v no_o body_n in_o that_o holy_a covenant_n without_o receive_v their_o child_n likewise_o as_o it_o be_v see_v in_o these_o word_n which_o god_n speak_v to_o abraham_n say_v 7._o i_o will_v establish_v my_o covenant_n between_o i_o and_o thou_o and_o thy_o seed_n after_o thou_o in_o their_o generation_n for_o a_o everlasting_a covenant_n to_o be_v a_o god_n unto_o thou_o and_o to_o thy_o seed_n after_o thou_o and_o by_o those_o of_o the_o act_n wherein_o st._n peter_n speak_v thus_o unto_o the_o jew_n be_v baptize_v every_o 39_o one_o of_o you_o in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n for_o the_o promise_n be_v unto_o you_o and_o to_o your_o child_n and_o to_o all_o that_o be_v afar_o off_o even_o as_o many_o as_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n shall_v call_v from_o which_o word_n i_o infer_v these_o two_o argument_n first_o all_z that_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n aught_o to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o seal_n of_o that_o covenant_n and_o of_o that_o sacrament_n which_o be_v the_o mystical_a sign_n of_o our_o enter_v into_o that_o covenant_n now_o not_o only_o the_o faithful_a be_v partaker_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n but_o 〈◊〉_d child_n also_o as_o 〈◊〉_d by_o the_o aforementioned_a text_n both_o of_o genesis_n and_o act_n therefore_o not_o only_o the_o faithful_a but_o their_o child_n also_o ought_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o seal_n of_o that_o covenant_n and_o consequent_o of_o baptism_n which_o be_v the_o mystical_a sign_n of_o our_o enter_v into_o that_o covenant_n second_o unto_o who_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v they_o ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v as_o it_o appear_v by_o the_o word_n of_o st._n peter_n act._n 2._o 39_o but_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v unto_o the_o child_n as_o well_o as_o unto_o their_o parent_n therefore_o child_n ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v which_o be_v confirm_v by_o these_o word_n of_o st._n matthew_n go_v teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v 18_o they_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n now_o young_a child_n be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o nation_n therefore_o unto_o they_o belong_v baptism_n therefore_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v you_o may_v further_o urge_v immediate_o before_o that_o text_n in_o the_o act_n be_v baptize_v every_o one_o of_o you_o etc._n etc._n it_o be_v read_v repent_v and_o in_o that_o of_o st._n matthew_n we_o read_v teach_v all_o nation_n and_o so_o repentance_n and_o doctrine_n be_v presuppose_v before_o baptism_n but_o young_a child_n who_o can_v use_v their_o reason_n neither_o be_v capable_a of_o one_o or_o the_o other_o therefore_o it_o follow_v they_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v baptize_v answ_n we_o ought_v to_o teach_v they_o that_o be_v able_a to_o be_v teach_v and_o baptize_v they_o that_o be_v able_a to_o be_v baptize_v repentance_n and_o doctrine_n be_v necessary_a in_o adult_n person_n but_o not_o in_o young_a child_n otherwise_o it_o shall_v follow_v that_o the_o new_a law_n which_o be_v a_o law_n of_o grace_n shall_v be_v less_o favourable_a than_o the_o old_a which_o be_v a_o law_n of_o rigour_n and_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v come_v to_o lessen_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o not_o to_o increase_v they_o see_v in_o the_o old_a law_n young_a
