to_o be_v such_o as_o can_v judge_v and_o likewise_o declare_v their_o mind_n but_o little_a infant_n be_v not_o such_o therefore_o no_o visible_a church-member_n but_o it_o may_v be_v the_o

25.41_o 42_o where_o the_o lord_n command_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n in_o the_o year_n of_o jubilee_n to_o set_v free_a all_o their_o brethren_n with_o their_o little_a one_o for_o they_o be_v my_o

strange_a he_o shall_v take_v upon_o he_o to_o prove_v child_n disciple_n and_o when_o he_o can_v find_v such_o a_o word_n in_o all_o the_o scripture_n than_o he_o will_v turn_v we_o off_o with_o the_o word_n servant_n and_o presume_v to_o call_v it_o disciple_n and_o then_o say_v if_o god_n call_v they_o one_o thing_n why_o may_v not_o we_o call_v they_o another_o it_o seem_v mr._n baxter_n will_v take_v leave_n in_o this_o thing_n to_o walk_v contrary_a to_o god_n and_o therefore_o i_o dare_v not_o trust_v he_o in_o another_o but_o i_o will_v show_v he_o not_o only_o in_o thing_n but_o also_o in_o person_n that_o we_o must_v not_o call_v they_o disciple_n of_o christ_n which_o god_n call_v servant_n for_o in_o jer._n 25.9_o chap._n 27.6_o chap._n 43.10_o in_o all_o these_o place_n god_n call_v nebuehadrezer_n his_o servant_n the_o king_n of_o babylon_n a_o enemy_n to_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n who_o the_o lord_n make_v use_v of_o to_o destroy_v it_o and_o make_v it_o a_o

to_o all_o man_n as_o it_o be_v now_o to_o i_o another_o such_o argument_n he_o have_v page_n 21._o where_o he_o reason_n thus_o if_o infant_n be_v capable_a of_o be_v christ_n subject_n than_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o be_v his_o disciple_n a_o learned_a argument_n and_o i_o will_v endeavour_v that_o all_o man_n may_v see_v the_o depth_n of_o it_o thus_o all_o the_o child_n in_o this_o nation_n be_v capable_a of_o be_v subject_n of_o this_o commonwealth_n therefore_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o be_v university-scholar_n this_o be_v the_o same_o with_o mr._n baxters_n argument_n but_o what_o

21._o and_o therefore_o i_o need_v not_o prove_v it_o thus_o have_v answer_v i_o proceed_v to_o his_o three_o argument_n page_n 22._o which_o be_v this_o if_o christ_n will_v have_v some_o child_n receive_v as_o disciple_n than_o they_o be_v disciple_n but_o christ_n will_v have_v some_o child_n receive_v as_o disciple_n therefore_o all_o the_o question_n say_v he_o be_v of_o the_o antecedent_n namely_o whether_o christ_n will_v have_v some_o infant_n receive_v as_o disciple_n or_o no_o the_o which_o he_o seem_v to_o prove_v by_o these_o scripture_n in_o his_o 22_o page_n luke_n 2.47_o 48._o
