one_o faith_n upon_o who_o only_o that_o one_o lord_n have_v command_v it_o to_o be_v administer_v and_o therefore_o we_o may_v bold_o affirm_v that_o upon_o the_o same_o ground_n lydia_n be_v baptize_v upon_o the_o same_o ground_n also_o her_o household_n be_v baptize_v that_o be_v upon_o their_o diligent_a attention_n and_o subjection_n unto_o the_o gospel_n which_o paul_n preach_v and_o how_o this_o will_v agree_v with_o infant_n let_v the_o wise_a judge_n second_o it_o be_v much_o safe_a and_o more_o agreeable_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o heavenly_a wisdom_n and_o godly_a equity_n to_o interpret_v this_o one_o scripture_n wherein_o there_o be_v some_o seem_a darkness_n and_o yet_o but_o seem_v by_o other_o clear_a scripture_n of_o the_o like_a nature_n rather_o than_o to_o entangle_v and_o lose_v ourselves_o and_o wrong_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n with_o our_o own_o imagination_n let_v we_o then_o compare_v spiritual_a thing_n with_o spiritual_a let_v we_o try_v the_o baptism_n of_o lydia_n and_o her_o household_n by_o the_o baptism_n of_o those_o other_o three_o household_n mention_v above_o the_o jailor_n and_o his_o household_n who_o be_v

they_o be_v baptize_v and_o the_o household_n of_o stephanas_n who_o paul_n baptize_v 1_o cor._n 1.16_o he_o witness_v of_o they_o in_o the_o 16._o chapter_n of_o this_o epistle_n vers_n 15._o they_o be_v the_o first_o fruit_n of_o achaia_n and_o have_v addict_v themselves_o to_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o saint_n now_o whether_o any_o of_o these_o scripture_n teach_v to_o we_o either_o direct_o or_o by_o way_n of_o consequence_n the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n let_v the_o wise_a judge_n and_o doubtless_o lydia_n and_o her_o household_n will_v speak_v as_o little_a for_o that_o baptism_n for_o such_o as_o be_v these_o household_n such_o be_v lydia_n and_o her_o household_n also_o 11.1_o 1_o cor._n 11.1_o thus_o we_o have_v the_o second_o witness_n agree_v with_o the_o former_a as_o the_o lord_n witness_n always_o do_v speak_v clear_o plain_o and_o full_o to_o the_o matter_n also_o and_o in_o the_o mouth_n of_o these_o two_o witness_n we_o have_v the_o second_o and_o three_o general_a head_n clear_o and_o full_o prove_v to_o wit_n baptism_n be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n which_o he_o have_v give_v and_o command_v as_o proper_o and_o peculiar_o belong_v unto_o

gainsayers_a if_o we_o receive_v the_o witness_n of_o man_n the_o witness_n of_o god_n be_v great_a that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v for_o the_o clear_n and_o prove_v of_o these_o two_o general_a head_n instruction_n instruction_n be_v useful_a to_o instruct_v we_o concern_v the_o necessity_n of_o believer_n baptism_n some_o say_v it_o be_v of_o no_o necessity_n and_o they_o charge_v we_o that_o we_o put_v a_o great_a necessity_n upon_o it_o then_o be_v meet_v to_o such_o i_o may_v answer_v of_o what_o necessity_n be_v any_o of_o god_n ordinance_n for_o what_o necessity_n there_o be_v of_o other_o the_o same_o necessity_n there_o be_v of_o this_o and_o true_o we_o put_v no_o great_a necessity_n upon_o it_o than_o the_o lord_n jesus_n himself_o have_v put_v upon_o it_o now_o i_o conceive_v there_o be_v a_o threefold_a necessity_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v put_v upon_o this_o as_o upon_o other_o ordinance_n first_o it_o be_v of_o necessity_n to_o obey_v the_o lord_n in_o

three_o it_o be_v of_o necessity_n to_o seek_v the_o face_n and_o strength_n and_o blessing_n of_o christ_n in_o this_o as_o in_o all_o other_o ordinance_n that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v command_v
