christ_n and_o grace_n as_o a_o man._n now_o if_o this_o be_v true_a that_o man_n be_v no_o more_o capable_a to_o suffer_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n to_o act_v upon_o their_o soul_n than_o infant_n i_o be_o persuade_v they_o will_v fare_v better_o than_o they_o be_v like_a to_o do_v for_o it_o be_v certain_a if_o infant_n receive_v any_o thing_n of_o christ_n or_o grace_n it_o be_v mere_o by_o miracle_n as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o john_n the_o baptist_n when_o he_o be_v in_o the_o womb_n and_o hence_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o unless_o god_n will_v work_v a_o miracle_n upon_o every_o one_o at_o the_o beginning_n of_o his_o conversion_n he_o be_v excusable_a according_a to_o this_o fancy_n of_o dr._n ames_n and_o mr._n firmin_n be_v not_o this_o a_o adulterous_a

of_o christ_n that_o some_o infant_n shall_v be_v baptize_v but_o why_o some_o and_o not_o some_o be_v infant_n so_o diversify_v in_o the_o will_n of_o christ_n as_o that_o he_o have_v except_v some_o

before_o you_o set_v down_o your_o argument_n 1._o you_o complain_v that_o some_o call_v for_o plain_a scripture_n for_o infant-baptism_n and_o speak_v slight_o of_o scripture_n consequence_n but_o this_o be_v your_o mistake_n if_o they_o be_v scripture_n consequence_n right_o deduce_v as_o you_o seem_v to_o allow_v they_o must_v be_v such_o than_o you_o have_v no_o adversary_n but_o perhaps_o

you_o be_v not_o and_o why_o may_v not_o our_o consequence_n be_v equal_o valuable_a with_o you_o 2._o you_o be_v please_v to_o tell_v we_o there_o be_v no_o express_a scripture_n against_o infant-baptism_n therefore_o infant_n may_v be_v baptize_v and_o this_o argument_n be_v sufficient_o answer_v by_o say_v there_o be_v no_o express_a scripture_n for_o infant-baptism_n therefore_o infant-baptism_n may_v be_v omit_v if_o you_o fly_v to_o consequence_n for_o it_o it_o be_v odds_o but_o we_o shall_v find_v as_o good_a consequence_n against_o it_o but_o i_o will_v deny_v the_o
