the_o baptise_n of_o infant_n do_v and_o must_v upon_o the_o same_o ground_n reject_v the_o religious_a observation_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n or_o the_o christian_a sabbath_n viz._n because_o there_o be_v not_o say_v they_o a_o express_a institution_n or_o command_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n very_o i_o have_v hardly_o either_o know_v or_o read_v or_o hear_v of_o any_o one_o who_o have_v reject_v this_o of_o infant_n but_o with_o it_o they_o reject_v that_o of_o the_o lord_n day_n now_o god_n have_v so_o bless_v the_o religious_a observation_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n in_o this_o kingdom_n above_o other_o church_n and_o kingdom_n that_o such_o as_o endeavour_v to_o overthrow_v it_o deserve_v just_o to_o be_v abhor_v by_o we_o second_o the_o teacher_n of_o this_o opinion_n where_o ever_o they_o prevail_v take_v their_o proselyte_n whole_o off_o from_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n and_o all_o other_o act_n of_o christian_a communion_n both_o public_a and_o private_a from_o any_o but_o those_o who_o be_v of_o their_o own_o opinion_n condemn_v they_o all_o as_o limb_n of_o antichrist_n worshipper_n and_o follower_n of_o the_o beast_n and_o so_o not_o only_o labour_v to_o cast_v the_o godly_a minister_n out_o of_o the_o heart_n of_o those_o people_n who_o they_o have_v win_v to_o christ_n but_o leave_v the_o people_n who_o they_o ensnare_v without_o any_o hope_n of_o recovery_n whilst_o they_o impose_v upon_o their_o conscience_n to_o hear_v none_o but_o such_o as_o may_v confirm_v they_o in_o their_o error_n a_o old_a trick_n of_o satan_n which_o he_o teach_v the_o papist_n long_v ago_o a_o mere_a politic_a device_n to_o keep_v their_o disciple_n fast_o unto_o themselves_o which_o unchristian_a course_n how_o prosperous_a soever_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v at_o the_o first_o can_v be_v bless_v by_o god_n nor_o indeed_o be_v it_o the_o lord_n give_v they_o up_o almost_o everywhere_o to_o other_o most_o dangerous_a vile_a and_o abominable_a opinion_n i_o deny_v not_o but_o some_o few_o who_o be_v of_o this_o opinion_n be_v otherwise_o mind_v but_o all_o our_o experience_n teach_v we_o that_o the_o generality_n of_o they_o do_v run_v this_o way_n three_o this_o opinion_n put_v all_o the_o infant_n of_o all_o believer_n into_o the_o selfsame_a condition_n with_o the_o infant_n of_o turk_n and_o indian_n
