A79489	A Christian plea for infants baptisme. Or a confutation of some things written by A.R. in his treatise, entitutled, The second part of the vanitie and childishnesse of infants baptisme. In the answer whereof, the lawfulnesse of infants baptisme is defended, and the arguments against it disproved, by sufficient grounds and forcible reasons, drawn from the sweet fountains of holy Scripture.

for_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n between_o what_o person_n do_v and_o what_o they_o shall_v or_o aught_o to_o do_v and_o person_n judge_v as_o they_o ought_v though_o their_o judgement_n be_v
