stone_n raise_v up_o child_n to_o abraham_n if_o he_o please_v 2._o we_o do_v affirm_v you_o have_v as_o much_o ground_n of_o faith_n from_o any_o promise_n of_o god_n to_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v illuminate_v a_o stone_n or_o a_o tree_n as_o you_o have_v to_o pray_v god_n by_o baptism_n he_o will_v regenerate_v one_o infant_n if_o you_o pray_v not_o in_o faith_n you_o sin_n and_o if_o you_o have_v no_o promise_n of_o god_n to_o ground_v your_o faith_n upon_o when_o you_o pray_v god_n by_o baptism_n to_o regenerate_a a_o infant_n than_o you_o can_v pray_v in_o faith_n two_o thing_n you_o be_v to_o prove_v 1._o that_o god_n do_v require_v you_o to_o baptize_v infant_n 2._o prove_v that_o baptism_n be_v appoint_v of_o god_n to_o regenerate_a child_n or_o the_o adult_n either_o if_o you_o can_v 3._o i_o do_v say_v that_o baptism_n do_v not_o belong_v to_o they_o who_o may_v be_v say_v in_o a_o remote_a sense_n to_o be_v capable_a of_o regeneration_n for_o unbeliever_n be_v capable_a of_o regeneration_n or_o else_o sad_a be_v their_o condition_n and_o be_v they_o therefore_o capable_a of_o baptism_n baptism_n be_v not_o a_o outward_a sign_n of_o what_o a_o person_n be_v capable_a of_o or_o may_v have_v hereafter_o but_o of_o that_o thing_n or_o inward_a spiritual_a grace_n the_o person_n baptize_v have_v at_o present_a or_o give_v some_o evidence_n of_o before_o or_o at_o the_o time_n when_o he_o be_v baptize_v and_o for_o this_o i_o can_v cite_v you_o divers_a of_o the_o ancient_a father_n and_o modern_a divine_n you_o may_v be_v as_o capable_a to_o be_v a_o justice_n of_o peace_n as_o far_o as_o i_o know_v as_o you_o be_v to_o be_v a_o preacher_n may_v you_o therefore_o give_v forth_o warrant_n and_o exercise_v that_o office_n 4._o and_o last_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o infant_n be_v not_o in_o a_o ordinary_a way_n capable_a of_o the_o image_n of_o god_n though_o they_o may_v be_v capable_a of_o grace_n and_o salvation_n by_o christ_n because_o the_o image_n of_o god_n consist_v in_o knowledge_n col._n 3.10_o and_o have_v put_v on_o the_o new_a man_n which_o be_v renew_v in_o knowledge_n annotat._n after_o the_o image_n of_o he_o that_o

circumcision_n be_v institute_v for_o the_o same_o end_n that_o baptism_n be_v and_o the_o party_n circumcise_v be_v under_o the_o same_o natural_a incapacity_n with_o the_o person_n baptize_v and_o from_o hence_o you_o charge_v we_o with_o arrogancy_n as_o if_o we_o will_v make_v ourselves_o wise_a than_o god_n 1._o i_o answer_v we_o have_v prove_v circumcision_n be_v not_o institute_v for_o the_o same_o end_n that_o baptism_n be_v but_o for_o several_a other_o ground_n and_o reason_n therefore_o what_o you_o say_v be_v not_o true_a see_v our_o answer_n 2._o and_o do_v it_o follow_v because_o god_n command_v abraham_n to_o circumcise_v his_o male_a infant_n that_o you_o may_v command_v parent_n to_o baptize_v their_o infant_n both_o male_n and_o female_n who_o be_v not_o the_o subject_n jesus_n christ_n have_v command_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o be_v baptize_v and_o do_v not_o you_o herein_o make_v yourselves_o wise_a than_o god_n o_o how_o just_o may_v this_o arrogancy_n be_v retort_v back_o upon_o yourselves_o your_o brethren_n former_o the_o athenian_a society_n in_o two_o or_o three_o of_o their_o mercury_n tell_v we_o in_o some_o part_n of_o the_o world_n they_o circumcise_v their_o female_n and_o no_o doubt_n of_o it_o they_o have_v as_o good_a or_o better_a authority_n so_o to_o do_v as_o you_o have_v to_o baptize_v child_n see_v vol._n 7._o numb_a 7._o where_o they_o say_v the_o creophagians_n arabian_n some_o of_o the_o descendant_n of_o ishmael_n do_v judicial_o circumcise_v not_o only_o male_n but_o female_n also_o the_o ethiopian_n especial_o in_o the_o dominion_n of_o prester_n john_n circumcise_v female_n and_o for_o further_a information_n they_o direct_v to_o bartho_n de_fw-fr antiquit._fw-la puerperi_fw-la bellonius_fw-la caelius_n rhodoginus_n and_o several_a other_o history_n and_o author_n may_v be_v they_o argue_v as_o you_o do_v the_o female_n be_v capable_a as_o the_o male_n of_o the_o benefit_n of_o circumcision_n and_o therefore_o may_v circumcise_v they_o 3._o our_o argument_n i_o must_v tell_v you_o again_o baptism_n lie_v not_o so_o much_o in_o that_o infant_n be_v uncapable_a of_o any_o spiritual_a benefit_n by_o baptism_n have_v it_o please_v almighty_a god_n to_o have_v command_v they_o to_o be_v baptize_v as_o he_o do_v the_o circumcision_n of_o infant_n but_o in_o that_o first_o we_o can_v find_v direct_o nor_o indirect_o i_o mean_v either_o by_o precept_n example_n or_o good_a consequence_n from_o all_o god_n word_n it_o be_v his_o mind_n or_o will_v they_o shall_v be_v admit_v to_o baptism_n second_o because_o they_o have_v not_o those_o previous_a qualification_n which_o according_a to_o the_o positive_a and_o express_a law_n of_o christ_n be_v necessary_a in_o all_o that_o aught_o to_o be_v baptize_v therefore_o in_o p._n 16_o 17._o you_o set_v up_o a_o man_n of_o straw_n of_o your_o own_o make_n and_o then_o fight_v with_o it_o have_v god_n require_v infant_n to_o be_v baptize_v who_o can_v argue_v against_o their_o be_v capable_a of_o it_o however_o since_o actual_a faith_n and_o the_o profession_n of_o it_o be_v require_v of_o all_o that_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v we_o say_v infant_n who_o be_v uncapable_a to_o act_v faith_n be_v not_o can_v be_v proper_a or_o fit_a subject_n for_o that_o sacrament_n 2._o because_o none_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v by_o virtue_n of_o christ_n law_n and_o commission_n matth._n 28._o but_o such_o who_o be_v make_v disciple_n by_o be_v first_o teach_v infant_n who_o be_v not_o capable_a so_o to_o be_v make_v disciple_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v baptize_v and_o to_o these_o two_o argument_n we_o will_v now_o see_v your_o answer_n pag._n 18._o of_o your_o book_n which_o be_v as_o follow_v viz._n that_o a_o profession_n of_o faith_n be_v necessary_o require_v before_o baptism_n in_o all_o adult_n person_n that_o be_v person_n grow_v up_o to_o ripe_a year_n who_o be_v say_v you_o the_o person_n who_o our_o saviour_n mean_v when_o he_o say_v he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v shall_v be_v save_v as_o most_o evident_o appear_v by_o the_o word_n follow_v he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v mark_v 16.16_o what!_o must_v all_o that_o die_v in_o their_o infancy_n go_v to_o hell_n for_o a_o impossibility_n the_o text_n only_o intend_v such_o as_o by_o hear_v the_o gospel_n preach_v be_v capable_a of_o actual_a faith_n such_o as_o enjoy_v the_o mean_n of_o faith_n and_o yet_o live_v and_o die_v in_o neglect_n of_o faith_n and_o contempt_n of_o baptism_n shall_v certain_o

child_n be_v starve_v because_o they_o can_v work_v thus_o say_v you_o here_o child_n lie_v under_o a_o natural_a incapacity_n of_o profess_v actual_a faith_n therefore_o the_o first_o text_n do_v not_o concern_v they_o any_o more_o than_o the_o latter_a answ_n i._o sir_n you_o have_v give_v away_o your_o cause_n now_o for_o ever_o if_o this_o text_n mark_v 16.16_o do_v no_o more_o concern_v infant_n than_o that_o in_o 2_o thess_n 3.10_o then_o be_v sure_a as_o they_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o faith_n so_o have_v they_o nothing_o to_o do_v with_o baptism_n for_o all_o the_o
