to_o account_v infant_n of_o believer_n by_o a_o act_n of_o opinion_n according_a to_o a_o rule_n of_o prudence_n by_o which_o the_o sacrament_n be_v to_o be_v administer_v to_o belong_v to_o god_n in_o fancy_n eccl●siae_fw-la visibilis_fw-la in_o respect_n of_o outward_a profession_n as_o the_o catechumeni_fw-la or_o participation_n of_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n as_o complete_a

judge_v of_o man_n present_a estate_n by_o a_o rule_n of_o charity_n be_v when_o man_n judge_v of_o other_o the_o best_a that_o their_o word_n and_o work_n may_v be_v interpret_v to_o signify_v according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n 1_o cor._n 13.7_o charity_n believe_v all_o thing_n but_o infant_n do_v not_o show_v any_o thing_n by_o word_n or_o work_n that_o may_v signify_v their_o

if_o by_o judgement_n of_o chariry_n be_v mean_v as_o some_o express_v it_o conceive_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v so_o because_o we_o know_v nothing_o to_o the_o contrary_a then_o be_v we_o to_o conceive_v all_o infant_n to_o belong_v to_o god_n yea_o almost_o all_o man_n in_o the_o world_n by_o the_o judgement_n of_o charity_n because_o for_o aught_o we_o know_v to_o the_o contrary_a all_o may_v be_v elect_v wherefore_o i_o must_v either_o here_o stop_v or_o else_o gather_v your_o meaning_n by_o your_o expression_n in_o other_o part_n of_o your_o sermon_n and_o the_o expression_n of_o those_o with_o who_o i_o conceive_v you_o concur_v in_o opinion_n and_o therefore_o if_o i_o shall_v not_o exact_o light_v on_o your_o meaning_n you_o be_v to_o thank_v yourself_o but_o not_o to_o blame_v i_o this_o be_v then_o that_o which_o i_o conceive_v you_o mean_v that_o in_o the_o promise_n which_o god_n make_v to_o abraham_n that_o he_o will_v be_v his_o god_n and_o the_o god_n of_o his_o seed_n as_o this_o promise_n comprehend_v evangelicall_n blessing_n the_o infant_n of_o believer_n be_v comprehend_v and_o therefore_o they_o be_v foederati_fw-la take_v into_o covenant_n with_o their_o

the_o god_n of_o thy_o seed_n belong_v to_o they_o in_o respect_n of_o evangelicall_n blessing_n you_o mean_v it_o in_o respect_n of_o save_a grace_n or_o the_o privilege_n of_o outward_a ordinance_n though_o the_o latter_a be_v no_o more_o true_a than_o the_o former_a yet_o it_o be_v less_o dangerous_a and_o sometime_o your_o expression_n incline_v i_o to_o think_v you_o mean_v no_o more_o

i_o will_v be_v thy_o god_n and_o the_o god_n of_o thy_o seed_n to_o be_v the_o god_n of_o the_o natural_a seed_n of_o believer_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o save_a benefit_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o

covenant_n of_o grace_n which_o all_o that_o be_v in_o covenant_n may_v claim_v which_o you_o say_v god_n make_v to_o abraham_n and_o all_o his_o seed_n beside_o your_o text_n you_o produce_v tend_v to_o prove_v that_o as_o act_n 2.39_o etc._n etc._n and_o you_o say_v pag._n 15._o they_o shall_v be_v make_v free_a of_o god_n city_n according_a to_o abraham_n copy_n i_o will_v be_v thy_o god_n
