infant_n be_v not_o make_v clean_o from_o their_o pollution_n and_o free_v from_o condemnation_n without_o have_v faith_n and_o repentance_n i_o say_v they_o may_v because_o god_n require_v not_o these_o thing_n of_o infant_n but_o you_o argue_v further_o mr._n f._n all_o the_o member_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v holy_a but_o child_n be_v member_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n not_o by_o birth_n it_o be_v by_o regeneration_n answ_n first_o here_o i_o think_v you_o have_v give_v your_o cause_n its_o death_n blow_n it_o seem_v now_o that_o the_o infant_n of_o believer_n be_v no_o more_o holy_a by_o their_o birth_n of_o believe_a parent_n than_o other_o and_o whether_o they_o be_v regenerate_v you_o can_v tell_v for_o you_o do_v not_o hold_v that_o all_o the_o child_n of_o believer_n be_v save_v what_o be_v now_o become_v of_o the_o birth-priviledg_n so_o much_o glory_v in_o by_o mr._n baxter_n and_o other_o we_o have_v be_v tell_v infant_n be_v holy_a by_o birth_n if_o one_o parent_n be_v but_o a_o believer_n and_o that_o child_n of_o believer_n be_v holy_a by_o prerogative_n of_o seed_n but_o now_o you_o confess_v the_o truth_n and_o i_o grant_v infant_n be_v not_o holy_a by_o birth_n let_v their_o parent_n be_v never_o so_o christian_n and_o i_o have_v already_o grant_v that_o infant_n must_v be_v cleanse_v from_o all_o sin_n before_o they_o come_v to_o heaven_n but_o yet_o you_o touch_v not_o the_o question_n whether_o they_o can_v be_v cleanse_v from_o sin_n without_o they_o have_v faith_n and_o repentance_n one_o will_v think_v you_o begin_v to_o be_v afraid_a of_o the_o question_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a you_o have_v cause_n so_o to_o be_v arg._n 3._o mr._n f._n tell_v we_o if_o adam_n have_v continue_v in_o innocency_n his_o child_n have_v bear_v the_o image_n of_o god_n from_o the_o birth_n i_o never_o hear_v it_o deny_v that_o which_o i_o infer_v hence_o be_v that_o child_n be_v capable_a of_o the_o image_n of_o god_n and_o receive_v the_o seed_n of_o all_o grace_n it_o be_v so_o then_o why_o not_o now_o answ_n what_o manner_n of_o the_o image_n of_o god_n infant_n shall_v have_v bear_v have_v adam_n continue_v innocent_a be_v unknown_a to_o man_n and_o it_o be_v but_o vain_a to_o concern_v ourselves_o about_o that_o which_o can_v be_v know_v but_o this_o we_o know_v it_o shall_v not_o have_v stand_v in_o faith_n and_o repentance_n as_o now_o because_o in_o both_o these_o we_o confess_v ourselves_o sinner_n and_o this_o be_v enough_o to_o show_v the_o vanity_n of_o your_o question_n if_o so_o then_o why_o not_o now_o but_o you_o proceed_v thus_o mr._n f._n shall_v the_o sin_n of_o one_o person_n be_v so_o mischievous_a to_o deprive_v adam_n and_o all_o his_o posterity_n of_o the_o image_n of_o god_n and_o bring_v the_o seed_n of_o all_o corruption_n into_o their_o nature_n and_o shall_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v deny_v to_o renew_v his_o image_n in_o little_a child_n when_o and_o where_o he_o please_v child_n be_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v in_o their_o heart_n answ_n i_o know_v no_o man_n more_o faulty_a than_o mr._n f._n in_o this_o matter_n for_o he_o will_v not_o allow_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n to_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o do_v with_o the_o great_a part_n of_o infant_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o god_n do_v all_o thing_n needful_a for_o they_o to_o make_v they_o holy_a by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n his_o grace_n and_o spirit_n but_o all_o this_o shall_v be_v do_v without_o faith_n and_o repentance_n because_o god_n do_v not_o require_v it_o of_o infant_n if_o he_o do_v name_v your_o text._n mr._n f._n now_o tell_v we_o adam_n disobedience_n far_o exceed_v

thy_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n chap._n 5._o 16_o 17_o 18._o and_o not_o as_o it_o be_v by_o one_o that_o sin_v so_o be_v the_o gift_n for_o the_o judgement_n be_v of_o one_o to_o condemnation_n but_o the_o free-gift_n be_v of_o many_o offence_n to_o justification_n for_o if_o by_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o death_n reign_v by_o one_o much_o more_o they_o which_o receive_v abundance_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o the_o gift_n of_o righteousness_n shall_v reign_v in_o life_n by_o one_o jesus_n christ_n therefore_o as_o by_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o judgement_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n to_o condemnation_n even_o so_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o one_o the_o free-gift_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n unto_o justification_n of_o life_n and_o whereas_o mr._n f._n bold_o tell_v we_o that_o christ_n obedience_n do_v not_o cleanse_v and_o regenerate_v one_o child_n i_o ask_v he_o who_o obedience_n then_o do_v cleanse_v infant_n let_v st._n paul_n answer_v again_o ver_fw-la 19_o as_o by_o one_o man_n disobedience_n many_o be_v make_v sinner_n so_o by_o the_o obedience_n of_o one_o shall_v many_o be_v make_v righteous_a bless_a paul_n thou_o have_v answer_v to_o the_o life_n mr._n firmin_n say_v christ_n obedience_n do_v not_o cleanse_v and_o regenerate_v one_o child_n thou_o say_v christ_n obedience_n make_v many_o righteous_a and_o they_o that_o be_v make_v righteous_a be_v

and_o for_o his_o uncivil_a expression_n in_o the_o close_a of_o it_o i_o shall_v pass_v they_o by_o mr._n firmin_n arg._n 4._o if_o all_o child_n die_v such_o be_v justify_v and_o save_v then_o there_o will_v be_v million_o in_o heaven_n in_o who_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n as_o the_o three_o person_n in_o the_o bless_a trinity_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v in_o their_o salvation_n answ_n first_o i_o take_v notice_n that_o mr._n firmin_n by_o this_o argument_n will_v have_v million_o of_o infant_n damn_v because_o in_o his_o judgement_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o million_o of_o they_o in_o the_o business_n of_o salvation_n this_o this_o be_v that_o wicked_a doctrine_n which_o i_o oppose_v 2._o but_o how_o will_v he_o prove_v that_o the_o spirit_n have_v to_o do_v in_o the_o business_n of_o the_o salvation_n of_o any_o of_o they_o more_o than_o i_o shall_v prove_v he_o have_v to_o do_v in_o the_o salvation_n of_o all_o die_a infant_n he_o will_v prove_v it_o by_o two_o thing_n 1._o because_o the_o distinct_a subsistence_n have_v their_o distinct_a manner_n of_o work_v 2._o because_o regeneration_n be_v give_v to_o the_o spirit_n now_o suppose_v this_o be_v true_a it_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o some_o infant_n have_v the_o assistance_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o some_o die_a infant_n have_v no_o assistance_n from_o he_o thus_o he_o beat_v the_o air_n but_o prove_v not_o any_o thing_n at_o all_o relate_n to_o the_o point_n in_o question_n 3._o but_o i_o will_v prove_v that_o all_o die_a infant_n have_v all_o that_o assistance_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o business_n of_o salvation_n which_o be_v any_o way_n needful_a for_o they_o i_o do_v it_o thus_o all_o those_o die_a infant_n for_o who_o christ_n shed_v his_o precious_a blood_n have_v sufficient_a assistance_n from_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o business_n of_o their_o salvation_n but_o christ_n shed_v his_o precious_a blood_n for_o all_o die_a infant_n ergo_fw-la all_o die_a infant_n have_v sufficient_a assistance_n from_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o business_n of_o their_o salvation_n the_o major_n be_v evident_a because_o no_o die_a infant_n do_v resist_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o because_o god_n be_v no_o respecter_n of_o person_n the_o minor_a be_v evident_a because_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o taste_v death_n for_o every_o man_n he_o buy_v they_o that_o deny_v he_o and_o bring_v upon_o themselves_o swift_a destruction_n and_o see_v his_o tender_a mercy_n be_v over_o all_o his_o work_n the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v not_o want_v to_o
