reply_n the_o particular_n in_o this_o answer_n have_v be_v examine_v already_o and_o may_v have_v well_o be_v pass_v over_o because_o it_o be_v tedious_a to_o repeat_v the_o same_o thing_n again_o and_o again_o two_o thing_n be_v affirm_v by_o you_o 1._o that_o the_o scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n rom._n 4._o 11._o be_v not_o to_o define_v a_o sacrament_n nor_o to_o show_v what_o be_v the_o proper_a and_o adequate_a subject_n of_o a_o sacrament_n but_o this_o weaken_v no_o part_n of_o the_o argument_n for_o if_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o full_o define_v a_o sacrament_n nor_o mention_v every_o particular_a benefit_n or_o prerogative_n seal_v in_o the_o sacrament_n yet_o he_o show_v sufficient_o to_o who_o the_o sacrament_n in_o due_a order_n do_v appertain_v even_o to_o the_o heir_n of_o salvation_n to_o they_o that_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o walk_v in_o the_o step_n of_o our_o father_n abraham_n and_o thus_o we_o argue_v from_o the_o text_n of_o the_o apostle_n they_o that_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o good_a thing_n seal_v in_o the_o sacrament_n to_o they_o belong_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n according_a to_o god_n institution_n but_o they_o that_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n be_v partaker_n of_o the_o good_a thing_n seal_v in_o the_o sacrament_n to_o they_o belong_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n according_a to_o god_n institution_n if_o justification_n be_v not_o the_o only_a thing_n that_o circumcision_n seal_v this_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o point_n in_o hand_n for_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o the_o only_a thing_n that_o be_v seal_v in_o baptism_n but_o you_o confess_v in_o your_o answer_n immediate_o go_v before_o that_o they_o have_v right_a to_o baptism_n who_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v the_o same_o of_o justification_n beside_o if_o justification_n be_v not_o the_o only_a thing_n that_o be_v seal_v in_o the_o sacrament_n it_o be_v one_o principal_a thing_n which_o do_v infer_v the_o rest_n for_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n in_o christ_n be_v inseparable_a where_o one_o be_v name_v other_o be_v employ_v and_o where_o one_o be_v give_v no_o one_o be_v absolute_o want_v 30._o christ_n be_v make_v of_o god_n wisdom_n righteousness_n sanctification_n and_o redemption_n who_o god_n do_v justify_v they_o he_o do_v sanctify_v and_o they_o he_o will_v glorify_v 2._o the_o second_o thing_n you_o affirm_v be_v that_o not_o only_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o believer_n but_o church-covenant_n also_o which_o be_v peculiar_a to_o confederate_n be_v necessary_a to_o the_o participation_n of_o the_o seal_n this_o sense_n your_o word_n must_v bear_v or_o else_o they_o reach_v not_o the_o point_n in_o hand_n but_o this_o be_v that_o which_o shall_v be_v prove_v substantial_o and_o not_o bare_o affirm_v and_o which_o as_o we_o conceive_v be_v contrary_a to_o the_o first_o institution_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o the_o lawful_a practice_n of_o john_n the_o baptist_n our_o saviour_n christ_n his_o apostle_n and_o all_o other_o who_o be_v record_v lawful_o to_o administer_v the_o seal_n in_o gen._n 17._o we_o find_v the_o first_o institution_n of_o circumcision_n record_v and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n to_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n to_o they_o that_o be_v bear_v in_o his_o house_n or_o buy_v with_o his_o money_n but_o we_o find_v no_o mention_n of_o any_o church_n covenant_n beside_o the_o covenant_n of_o promise_n which_o god_n make_v with_o abraham_n there_o be_v no_o mention_n of_o any_o church-order_n into_o which_o abraham_n family_n be_v now_o gather_v more_o than_o former_o god_n give_v circumcision_n to_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n as_o a_o seal_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n but_o that_o this_o family_n be_v first_o gather_v into_o church-order_n as_o you_o speak_v we_o can_v believe_v because_o the_o scripture_n say_v it_o not_o whether_o lot_n job_n melchizedech_n be_v circumcise_v or_o not_o we_o will_v not_o dispute_v but_o if_o they_o receive_v not_o the_o seal_n we_o can_v think_v the_o reason_n to_o be_v because_o they_o be_v not_o in_o church-order_n as_o those_o time_n require_v if_o any_o such_o thing_n have_v be_v require_v we_o can_v think_v that_o either_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o it_o or_o that_o they_o walk_v against_o their_o light_n but_o according_a to_o the_o dispense_n of_o those_o time_n we_o judge_v as_o they_o be_v visible_a believer_n so_o they_o walk_v in_o that_o church-fellowship_n which_o god_n prescribe_v and_o therefore_o if_o circumcision_n have_v be_v the_o seal_n of_o such_o church-covenant_n as_o you_o conceive_v it_o shall_v have_v be_v give_v to_o they_o no_o less_o than_o to_o abraham_n family_n but_o of_o this_o sufficient_a be_v say_v before_o as_o for_o baptism_n it_o be_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o whole_a covenant_n which_o the_o passage_n quote_v prove_v it_o to_o be_v whether_o it_o be_v the_o seal_n of_o our_o fellowship_n which_o christ_n in_o affliction_n and_o the_o resurrection_n of_o our_o body_n we_o leave_v it_o to_o your_o consideration_n but_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o seal_n of_o a_o church-covenant_n which_o be_v peculiar_a to_o confederate_n that_o to_o we_o be_v very_o strange_a that_o it_o be_v a_o solemn_a admission_n into_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o of_o necessity_n it_o must_v be_v administer_v in_o a_o particular_a society_n though_o in_o the_o passage_n to_o the_o corinthian_n the_o mystical_a body_n of_o christ_n be_v understand_v will_v easy_o be_v grant_v but_o that_o it_o be_v the_o seal_n of_o any_o other_o covenant_n but_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n we_o can_v digest_v the_o sacrament_n be_v of_o god_n and_o we_o must_v learn_v of_o god_n for_o what_o end_n and_o use_v they_o be_v ordain_v but_o by_o the_o institution_n or_o baptism_n record_v in_o scripture_n we_o have_v learn_v it_o belong_v to_o the_o faithful_a to_o disciple_n to_o they_o that_o be_v call_v of_o god_n and_o as_o for_o any_o other_o covenant_n necessary_a to_o the_o right_a participation_n of_o the_o seal_n there_o be_v deep_a silence_n of_o it_o in_o the_o institution_n in_o the_o lawful_a and_o approve_a practice_n of_o the_o first_o dispenser_n of_o these_o sacred_a mystery_n enough_o have_v be_v say_v to_o this_o matter_n already_o but_o we_o will_v conclude_v it_o with_o the_o word_n of_o that_o reverend_a author_n who_o we_o have_v cite_v many_o time_n before_o upon_o occasion_n afterward_o say_v he_o john_n the_o baptist_n walk_v in_o the_o same_o step_n and_o by_o the_o same_o rule_n administer_v baptism_n in_o the_o church_n whereof_o he_o be_v a_o member_n 7._o require_v of_o all_o that_o come_v to_o his_o baptism_n a_o profession_n of_o repentance_n 5._o and_o amendment_n of_o life_n for_o remission_n of_o sin_n whereof_o baptism_n be_v a_o seal_n 16._o and_o preach_v christ_n to_o they_o this_o order_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n after_o his_o resurrection_n establish_v to_o continue_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n 20._o give_v a_o commission_n to_o his_o disciple_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o the_o gentile_n 16._o and_o to_o gather_v all_o such_o as_o shall_v believe_v through_o the_o world_n as_o a_o testimony_n to_o they_o that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n do_v belong_v to_o they_o also_o and_o not_o to_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n only_o according_o the_o apostle_n and_o servant_n of_o christ_n be_v careful_a to_o observe_v this_o rule_n in_o their_o administer_a baptism_n thus_o peter_n when_o he_o see_v those_o three_o thousand_o soul_n prick_v in_o their_o heart_n preach_v unto_o they_o concern_v repentance_n 47._o remission_n of_o sin_n christ_n the_o promise_n baptism_n faith_n amendment_n of_o life_n baptize_v those_o that_o glad_o receive_v his_o word_n and_o testify_v the_o same_o by_o join_v together_o in_o the_o profession_n thereof_o 14._o the_o same_o course_n philip_n take_v with_o the_o church_n that_o be_v gather_v in_o samaria_n where_o many_o be_v baptize_v but_o none_o till_o they_o profess_v their_o belief_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o their_o receive_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v express_o when_o they_o believe_v philip_n preach_v the_o thing_n concern_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n they_o be_v baptize_v both_o man_n and_o woman_n 11-17_a when_o ananias_n be_v

and_o then_o he_o go_v and_o do_v it_o when_o peter_n and_o those_o that_o come_v with_o he_o see_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n fall_v on_o cornelius_n 43-48_a and_o those_o that_o
