close_v this_o head_n and_o the_o whole_a argument_n for_o infant-baptism_n with_o this_o one_o remark_n that_o if_o there_o be_v no_o true_a church_n but_o that_o of_o the_o antipoedobaptist_n that_o promise_n have_v never_o yet_o be_v fulfil_v that_o king_n shall_v be_v nurse_v father_n and_o queen_n nurse_v mother_n to_o the_o church_n for_o they_o never_o have_v but_o one_o king_n and_o queen_n of_o their_o opinion_n and_o those_o they_o do_v not_o love_v to_o hear_v of_o now_o we_o be_v not_o to_o think_v that_o god_n have_v forget_v this_o promise_n for_o 1700_o year_n together_o nor_o will_v they_o affirm_v it_o there_o have_v be_v many_o excellent_a king_n and_o prince_n protector_n of_o church_n which_o have_v baptise_a infant_n and_o have_v be_v in_o their_o infancy_n themselves_o baptize_v whence_o it_o it_o follow_v that_o infant-baptism_n be_v true_a baptism_n and_o that_o tthose_n be_v true_a church_n who_o use_v it_o if_o there_o ever_o yet_o be_v any_o since_o our_o saviour_n §_o xxi_o to_o sum_v up_o the_o evidence_n for_o infant-baptism_n if_o outward_a baptism_n be_v general_o and_o in_o a_o ordinary_a way_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n if_o
