blessing_n infant_n be_v capable_a of_o receive_v benefit_n by_o christ_n though_o they_o do_v not_o actual_o believe_v though_o they_o can_v lay_v hold_n on_o christ_n yet_o christ_n can_v lay_v hold_n on_o they_o and_o bless_v they_o object_n but_o baptism_n be_v not_o concern_v in_o the_o text_n except_o it_o can_v be_v make_v out_o that_o blessing_n be_v baptise_v to_o this_o i_o reply_v in_o my_o former_a answer_n that_o it_o be_v true_a blessing_n be_v not_o baptise_v but_o it_o be_v something_o more_o and_o christ_n in_o bless_v they_o vouchsafe_v that_o to_o they_o which_o usual_o be_v as_o a_o ordinance_n administer_v after_o baptism_n and_o which_o be_v of_o a_o high_a nature_n and_o so_o we_o may_v argue_v from_o this_o to_o baptism_n inclusive_o or_o à_fw-la majori_fw-la from_o the_o great_a to_o the_o less_o 2._o and_o further_o though_o blessing_n be_v not_o baptism_n yet_o in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o be_v of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n who_o he_o bless_a let_v it_o be_v mean_v if_o you_o will_v of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n it_o suppose_v that_o they_o must_v be_v first_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n and_o be_v of_o the_o visible_a church_n and_o so_o it_o come_v all_o to_o one_o it_o follow_v they_o be_v qualify_v subject_n for_o baptism_n for_o grant_v to_o child_n a_o church_n relation_n as_o i_o have_v prove_v it_o be_v their_o right_n and_o their_o right_n to_o baptism_n will_v unavoidable_o follow_v upon_o it_o mr._n danvers_n may_v have_v do_v well_o to_o have_v show_v we_o the_o weakness_n of_o our_o arguing_n from_o this_o text_n as_o contain_v in_o it_o a_o good_a foundation_n for_o infants-baptism_n instead_o of_o undertake_v to_o vindicate_v tertullian_n paraphrase_n thereon_o ground_v on_o a_o mistake_n as_o if_o pedobaptist_n make_v the_o word_n come_v in_o the_o text_n to_o be_v a_o come_n to_o baptism_n and_o for_o tertullian_n reason_n against_o child_n come_v to_o baptism_n i_o shall_v not_o scruple_n upon_o second_o thought_n to_o say_v they_o be_v childish_a one_o and_o the_o magdeburg_n wonder_n at_o their_o silliness_n for_o 1_o say_v he_o child_n can_v come_v till_o they_o be_v elder_a till_o they_o know_v &_o be_v teach_v why_o they_o come_v and_o may_v not_o the_o same_o be_v as_o well_o urge_v against_o the_o circumcise_n child_n of_o old_a let_v they_o stay_v till_o they_o be_v old_a till_o they_o can_v know_v what_o the_o ordinance_n mean_v 2._o and_o then_o for_o the_o weightiness_n of_o the_o ordinance_n in_o which_o regard_n he_o will_v have_v they_o forbear_v be_v there_o not_o also_o many_o deep_a mystery_n wrap_v up_o in_o circumcision_n as_o that_o it_o be_v a_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n do_v it_o not_o shadow_v forth_o the_o mortification_n of_o sin_n regeneration_n and_o redemption_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o be_v it_o not_o a_o ridiculous_a reason_n which_o he_o give_v why_o young_a man_n and_o those_o who_o be_v new_o marry_v and_o young_a widow_n shall_v delay_v baptism_n namely_o that_o the_o lust_n of_o concupiscence_n shall_v be_v first_o extinguish_v one_o will_v rather_o have_v suppose_v that_o the_o ordinance_n may_v have_v prove_v a_o remedy_n against_o such_o violent_a passion_n as_o they_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v subject_a to_o for_o the_o more_o temptation_n any_o state_n be_v obnoxious_a to_o the_o more_o need_v it_o have_v of_o help_n special_o such_o as_o do_v not_o only_o lay_v engagement_n but_o contribute_v strength_n as_o mr._n geree_n speak_v most_o of_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o reason_n as_o our_o divine_n observe_v do_v argue_v that_o his_o word_n for_o the_o put_n off_o infants-baptism_n be_v to_o be_v expound_v of_o alien_n as_o that_o about_o not_o give_v holy_a thing_n to_o dog_n and_o that_o of_o the_o inconveniency_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o mortality_n of_o sponsor_n or_o surety_n for_o in_o that_o chapter_n he_o be_v speak_v of_o infidel_n as_o we_o have_v show_v before_o but_o mr._n danvers_n be_v willing_a to_o make_v the_o most_o of_o a_o little_a will_v not_o by_o any_o mean_v part_n with_o this_o witness_n such_o as_o it_o be_v and_o therefore_o bring_v in_o dr._n barlow_n to_o confirm_v it_o that_o tertullian_n dislike_v infants-baptism_n as_o unwarrantable_a and_o irrational_a but_o the_o doctor_n have_v now_o declare_v his_o judgement_n i_o hope_v mr._n danvers_n will_v for_o the_o future_a forbear_v quote_v he_o as_o he_o have_v do_v then_o we_o have_v daille_n scultetus_n and_o the_o magdiburgs_n etc._n etc._n but_o we_o have_v tell_v you_o before_o from_o learned_a man_n that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o child_n of_o pagan_n to_o which_o we_o may_v add_v the_o judgement_n of_o junius_n that_o famous_a expositor_n concur_v with_o they_o as_o for_o the_o testimony_n he_o bring_v from_o b._n rhenanus_fw-la of_o the_o ancient_a custom_n of_o baptise_v those_o of_o full_a growth_n we_o have_v speak_v to_o it_o already_o and_o show_v how_o gross_o mr._n danvers_n do_v mistake_v he_o and_o for_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o regiment_n vincentius_n victor_n heribertus_n cresconius_n fulgentius_n regienses_n albanus_n the_o swermer_n arnoldus_fw-la henricus_fw-la etc._n etc._n we_o shall_v confer_v with_o he_o about_o these_o or_o the_o most_o of_o they_o very_o short_o and_o when_o this_o be_v over_o he_o will_v have_v no_o need_n to_o complain_v of_o my_o silence_n which_o he_o say_v give_v consent_n to_o the_o whole_a or_o of_o my_o unfair_a and_o disingenuous_a deal_n last_o he_o endeavour_v to_o clear_v himself_o from_o some_o exception_n which_o i_o have_v make_v against_o some_o of_o his_o witness_n say_v they_o be_v frivolous_a which_o whether_o it_o be_v so_o i_o leave_v to_o the_o reader_n to_o judge_n 1._o i_o tell_v he_o berinus_fw-la be_v nothing_o to_o his_o purpose_n because_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o his_o say_n have_v respect_n to_o pagan_n but_o that_o he_o conceive_v will_v not_o do_v because_o berinus_fw-la say_v baptism_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v administer_v to_o any_o without_o instruction_n but_o i_o must_v tell_v mr._n danvers_n that_o bede_n say_v no_o

not_o to_o be_v administer_v to_o any_o be_v they_o within_o the_o church_n or_o without_o without_o instruction_n i_o think_v he_o will_v go_v far_o beyond_o either_o t._n aquinas_n or_o mr._n

not_o know_v how_o put_v in_o among_o the_o witness_n 3._o i_o charge_v he_o with_o another_o falsehood_n in_o br_v in_o the_o bishop_n of_o apamen_n among_o his_o witness_n because_o though_o he_o
