the_o title_n of_o that_o kingdom_n and_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o think_v but_o that_o even_o before_o or_o in_o at_z or_o by_o the_o act_n of_o baptism_n the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n do_v

act_n 2._o 37._o therefore_o st._n peter_n will_v have_v his_o hearer_n to_o repent_v and_o to_o be_v baptize_v and_o he_o add_v the_o reason_n because_o the_o promise_n belong_v to_o they_o and_o to_o their_o child_n etc._n etc._n whence_o i_o argue_v because_o they_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o promise_n therefore_o they_o be_v bid_v to_o be_v baptize_v or_o thus_o the_o promise_n belong_v to_o the_o adult_n repentant_a person_n and_o their_o child_n or_o infant_n therefore_o adult_v repentant_a person_n and_o their_o child_n or_o infant_n be_v to_o be_v baptize_v for_o remission_n of_o sin_n the_o adult_n or_o those_o of_o year_n be_v to_o be_v baptize_v upon_o their_o repentance_n and_o the_o child_n or_o infant_n of_o those_o repent_v baptize_v person_n yea_o before_o they_o be_v actual_o capable_a of_o repentance_n be_v to_o be_v baptize_v also_o for_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v unto_o they_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o their_o parent_n so_o st._n peter_n there_o command_v they_o to_o be_v baptize_v and_o why_o because_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v unto_o they_o so_o also_o he_o show_v the_o cause_n why_o those_o adult_n repentant_a person_n be_v command_v to_o be_v baptize_v which_o be_v not_o because_o they_o be_v adult_n or_o repentant_a and_o so_o baptism_n belong_v only_o to_o they_o but_o also_o it_o belong_v to_o their_o infant_n and_o so_o he_o prove_v that_o as_o well_o the_o infant_n as_o the_o adult_n shall_v be_v baptize_v not_o because_o they_o believe_v or_o do_v not_o believe_v but_o because_o they_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o promise_n regeneration_n or_o receive_n into_o grace_n be_v enough_o for_o infant_n much_o more_o may_v have_v be_v say_v to_o several_a other_o of_o their_o argument_n which_o be_v many_o and_o will_v digress_v into_o a_o large_a volume_n but_o i_o shall_v dwell_v no_o long_o hereon_o although_o we_o be_v but_o once_o baptize_v yet_o baptism_n be_v unto_o we_o a_o perpetual_a sacrament_n of_o our_o wash_n from_o sin_n and_o of_o our_o regeneration_n that_o be_v to_o say_v as_o baptism_n do_v not_o only_o evacuate_v and_o wash_v away_o original_a sin_n in_o the_o sense_n before_o premise_v but_o also_o all_o other_o sin_n either_o past_a or_o present_v for_o they_o that_o be_v baptize_v be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n death_n now_o christ_n death_n be_v available_a not_o only_o to_o wash_v away_o those_o sin_n that_o be_v before_o baptism_n but_o those_o also_o in_o our_o whole_a life_n which_o follow_v baptism_n q._n what_o ground_n or_o warrant_n have_v we_o for_o sprinkle_v which_o be_v common_o use_v with_o we_o in_o these_o cold_a country_n a._n our_o church_n allow_v no_o other_o than_o dip_v unless_o in_o case_n of_o the_o child_n weakness_n as_o most_o consonant_a to_o our_o saviour_n baptism_n where_o we_o read_v of_o his_o descend_v into_o the_o water_n and_o come_v 3._o mat._n 3._o up_o again_o out_o of_o the_o water_n other_o conceive_v the_o very_a action_n of_o sprinkle_v water_n very_o warrantable_a especial_o in_o young_a child_n to_o who_o far_o wet_n may_v be_v dangerous_a to_o they_o the_o reason_n be_v such_o as_o these_o 1._o because_o neither_o dip_v nor_o sprinkle_v be_v essential_a to_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n but_o only_o wash_v and_o apply_v water_n to_o the_o body_n as_o a_o cleanser_n of_o the_o filth_n thereof_o 2._o as_o in_o the_o other_o sacrament_n that_o of_o the_o lord_n supper_n a_o spoonful_n of_o wine_n be_v as_o significant_a as_o a_o whole_a gallon_n so_o here_o a_o handful_n of_o water_n be_v as_o significant_a as_o a_o whole_a river_n 3._o the_o action_n of_o sprinkle_v bear_v fit_a resemblance_n with_o the_o inward_a grace_n as_o well_o as_o dip_v and_o have_v authority_n also_o in_o the_o scripture_n we_o read_v of_o sprinkle_v of_o the_o blood_n 14._o 1_o pet._n 1._o 2._o heb._n 12._o 14._o of_o christ_n and_o the_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v which_o speak_v better_a thing_n than_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n 4._o it_o be_v not_o unlikely_a that_o the_o apostle_n baptize_v as_o well_o by_o sprinkle_v or_o pour_v water_n upon_o as_o by_o dip_v into_o it_o sith_o we_o read_v of_o dive●●_n baptize_v in_o house_n as_o well_o as_o in_o river_n however_o the_o wash_n of_o the_o body_n with_o water_n be_v essential_a though_o 26._o eph._n 5._o 26._o whether_o way_n it_o be_v do_v seem_v not_o to_o be_v essential_a so_o water_n be_v apply_v to_o the_o body_n for_o the_o cleanse_n of_o it_o q._n how_o do_v circumcision_n and_o baptism_n agree_v a._n 1._o in_o the_o principal_a end_n for_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n through_o and_o by_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o same_o in_o all_o age_n be_v seal_v in_o both_o of_o they_o 2._o in_o both_o be_v signify_v regeneration_n and_o a_o
