against_o it_o i_o have_v now_o consider_v all_o that_o the_o anabaptist_n can_v with_o probability_n object_n against_o our_o argument_n and_o have_v discover_v the_o weakness_n of_o their_o exception_n by_o which_o although_o they_o be_v and_o other_o may_v be_v abuse_v yet_o it_o be_v their_o weakness_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o for_o which_o although_o the_o man_n be_v to_o be_v pity_v yet_o it_o may_v appear_v now_o that_o their_o cause_n be_v not_o at_o all_o the_o better_o ad_fw-la 28._o it_o remain_v that_o i_o consider_v their_o own_o argument_n by_o which_o they_o support_v themselves_o in_o their_o misperswasion_n first_o it_o be_v against_o the_o analogy_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o beside_o that_o christ_n never_o baptize_v any_o infant_n nor_o his_o apostle_n there_o be_v require_v to_o baptism_n faith_n and_o repentance_n of_o which_o because_o infant_n be_v not_o capable_a neither_o be_v they_o capable_a of_o the_o sacrament_n to_o these_o thing_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v true_a christ_n never_o baptize_v infant_n for_o he_o baptize_v no_o person_n at_o all_o but_o he_o bless_a infant_n and_o what_o that_o amount_n to_o i_o have_v already_o discourse_v and_o he_o give_v a_o commandment_n of_o baptism_n which_o do_v include_v they_o also_o as_o i_o have_v prove_v in_o the_o forego_n period_n and_o in_o other_o place_n that_o the_o apostle_n never_o baptize_v infant_n be_v bold_o say_v but_o can_v never_o be_v prove_v but_o then_o as_o to_o the_o main_a of_o the_o argument_n that_o faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v pre-required_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v in_o this_o as_o it_o be_v in_o circumcision_n to_o which_o a_o proselyte_n can_v not_o be_v admit_v form_n gentilism_n or_o idolatry_n unless_o he_o give_v up_o his_o name_n to_o the_o religion_n and_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o his_o servant_n moses_n but_o yet_o their_o child_n may_v and_o it_o may_v have_v be_v as_o well_o argue_v against_o their_o child_n as_o we_o since_o in_o their_o proselyte_n and_o we_o there_o be_v require_v predisposition_n of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n 2._o but_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o these_o be_v call_v for_o by_o the_o apostle_n of_o those_o who_o they_o invite_v to_o the_o religion_n they_o deal_v with_o man_n of_o reason_n but_o such_o who_o have_v superinduce_v foul_a sin_n to_o their_o infidelity_n which_o be_v to_o be_v remove_v before_o they_o can_v be_v illuminate_v and_o baptize_v but_o infant_n be_v in_o their_o pure_a natural_n &_o therefore_o nothing_o hinder_v they_o from_o receive_v the_o gift_n &_o mere_a grace_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n beforementioned_a 3._o but_o we_o see_v also_o that_o although_o christ_n require_v faith_n of_o they_o who_o come_v to_o be_v heal_v yet_o when_o any_o be_v bring_v or_o come_v in_o behalf_n of_o other_o he_o only_o require_v faith_n of_o they_o who_o come_v and_o their_o faith_n do_v benefit_n to_o other_o for_o no_o man_n can_v call_v on_o he_o on_o who_o they_o have_v not_o believe_v but_o therefore_o they_o who_o call_v must_v believe_v 4.50_o and_o if_o they_o call_v for_o other_o they_o must_v believe_v that_o christ_n can_v do_v it_o for_o other_o but_o this_o instance_n be_v so_o certain_a a_o reproof_n of_o this_o objection_n of_o they_o which_o be_v their_o principal_n which_o be_v there_o all_o that_o it_o be_v a_o wonder_n to_o i_o they_o shall_v not_o all_o be_v convince_v at_o the_o read_n and_o observe_v of_o it_o i_o know_v a_o eminent_a person_n among_o they_o who_o have_v be_v abuse_v by_o their_o fallacy_n upon_o the_o discovery_n of_o the_o falsehood_n of_o this_o their_o main_a allegation_n be_v convert_v &_o i_o know_v also_o some_o other_o who_o can_v not_o at_o all_o object_n against_o it_o but_o if_o they_o have_v be_v as_o humble_a as_o they_o be_v apprehensive_a will_v certain_o have_v confess_v their_o error_n but_o to_o this_o i_o can_v add_v nothing_o new_a beyond_o what_o i_o have_v large_o discourse_v of_o in_o the_o treatise_n of_o baptism_n beforementioned_a ad_fw-la 30._o the_o next_o argument_n be_v if_o baptism_n be_v necessary_a to_o infant_n upon_o who_o be_v the_o imposition_n lay_v to_o who_o be_v the_o command_n give_v the_o child_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o a_o law_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o give_v to_o they_o nor_o yet_o to_o the_o parent_n because_o if_o so_o than_o the_o salvation_n of_o infant_n shall_v be_v put_v into_o the_o power_n of_o other_o who_o may_v be_v careless_a or_o malicious_a i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v no_o precept_n of_o baptise_v infant_n just_a in_o that_o circumstance_n of_o age_n for_o than_o they_o have_v sin_v who_o have_v defer_v it_o upon_o just_a ground_n to_o their_o manhood_n but_o it_o be_v a_o precept_n give_v to_o all_o and_o it_o be_v make_v necessary_a by_o that_o order_n of_o thing_n which_o christ_n have_v constitute_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n so_o that_o if_o they_o be_v baptize_v at_o all_o in_o their_o just_a period_n there_o be_v no_o commandment_n break_v but_o if_o infant_n come_v not_o to_o be_v man_n than_o it_o be_v accidental_o necessary_a they_o shall_v have_v be_v baptize_v before_o they_o be_v man_n and_o now_o to_o the_o enquiry_n upon_o who_o the_o imposition_n lie_v it_o be_v easy_a to_o give_v a_o answer_n it_o lie_v upon_o they_o who_o can_v receive_v it_o and_o therefore_o upon_o the_o parent_n not_o so_o that_o the_o salvation_n of_o infant_n depend_v upon_o other_o god_n forbid_v but_o so_o that_o if_o they_o neglect_v the_o charitable_a ministry_n they_o shall_v dear_o account_v for_o it_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o be_v understand_v by_o two_o instance_n god_n command_v that_o child_n shall_v be_v circumcise_v moses_n by_o his_o wife_n peevishness_n neglect_v it_o and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n seek_v to_o kill_v he_o for_o it_o not_o gershom_n the_o child_n it_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o preservation_n of_o child_n life_n that_o they_o eat_v but_o the_o provision_n of_o meat_n for_o they_o be_v a_o duty_n incumbent_n on_o the_o parent_n and_o yet_o if_o parent_n expose_v their_o child_n it_o may_v be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o child_n shall_v not_o depend_v on_o other_o but_o when_o their_o father_n and_o mother_n forsake_v they_o
