this_o we_o answer_v at_o that_o time_n when_o christ_n speak_v these_o word_n none_o can_v be_v baptize_v that_o do_v not_o actual_o believe_v or_o at_o least_o actual_o profess_v himself_o a_o

any_o before_o they_o be_v full_o convert_v and_o make_v a_o profession_n not_o only_o of_o their_o faith_n but_o of_o their_o desire_n to_o be_v baptize_v 8.96_o act._n 8.96_o as_o we_o find_v the_o

of_o it_o be_v unlawful_a answer_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o proposition_n whatsoever_o be_v not_o command_v in_o god_n word_n may_v not_o be_v do_v be_v not_o true_a my_o reason_n be_v

no_o transgression_n so_o than_o whereas_o they_o say_v there_o be_v no_o precept_n nor_o example_n for_o it_o in_o scripture_n admit_v that_o to_o be_v true_a it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a answer_n to_o that_o objection_n to_o say_v there_o be_v neither_o against_o it_o and_o if_o the_o difference_n between_o they_o and_o we_o concern_v this_o matter_n come_v to_o be_v weigh_v in_o this_o balance_n it_o will_v he_o find_v to_o stand_v thus_o they_o have_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n against_o they_o and_o no_o scripture_n for_o they_o we_o have_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n for_o we_o and_o no_o scripture_n against_o we_o these_o scale_n you_o see_v give_v it_o for_o we_o against_o they_o clear_o and_o thus_o have_v give_v a_o taste_n of_o their_o objection_n to_o let_v you_o see_v they_o be_v answerable_a i_o shall_v now_o say_v something_o by_o way_n of_o positive_a assertion_n of_o the_o church_n doctrine_n and_o practice_n in_o this_o particular_a brief_o then_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o assert_v assertion_n assertion_n not_o only_o the_o lawfulness_n but_o the_o necessity_n of_o infant-baptism_n by_o scripture_n by_o reason_n and_o by_o universal_a practice_n and_o first_o by_o scripture_n i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o there_o be_v any_o scripture_n that_o do_v totidem_fw-la verbis_fw-la or_o in_o express_a word_n say_v that_o infant_n be_v to_o be_v baptize_v but_o there_o be_v a_o text_n that_o not_o only_o justify_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o do_v it_o but_o by_o consequence_n prove_v the_o unlawfulness_n of_o leave_v it_o undo_v and_o that_o be_v io._n 3._o at_o the_o 5._o verse_n except_o a_o man_n be_v bear_v of_o water_n and_o of_o the_o spirit_n he_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n whence_o it_o follow_v that_o if_o the_o want_n of_o baptism_n endanger_v the_o salvation_n of_o any_o it_o must_v be_v the_o fault_n of_o they_o that_o deny_v or_o or_o keep_v they_o from_o it_o i_o be_o not_o the_o first_o that_o have_v urge_v this_o text_n for_o the_o necessity_n of_o infant-baptism_n 1._o see_v land_n against_o fisher_n object_n 1._o but_o to_o evade_v the_o force_n of_o this_o argument_n they_o give_v two_o answer_n first_o that_o the_o text_n itself_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o person_n of_o mature_a age_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v except_o a_o man_n not_o except_o a_o child_n be_v bear_v again_o etc._n etc._n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o answer_n this_o be_v a_o mistake_n arise_v from_o the_o ignorance_n of_o the_o original_n and_o therefore_o the_o reply_n be_v easy_a it_o be_v not_o there_o except_o a_o man_n as_o we_o translate_v it_o but_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d it_o be_v a_o indefinite_a equivalent_a to_o a_o universal_a so_o that_o the_o sense_n be_v without_o exception_n of_o man_n woman_n or_o child_n except_o a_o person_n or_o except_o one_o be_v bear_v again_o of_o water_n etc._n etc._n a_o second_o exception_n to_o the_o argument_n draw_v from_o this_o text_n be_v this_o that_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o this_o exposition_n there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o communicate_v child_n as_o well_o as_o of_o baptise_v they_o of_o give_v they_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n as_o well_o as_o that_o of_o baptism_n for_o it_o be_v say_v io._n 6.53_o except_o you_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n you_o have_v no_o life_n in_o you_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o one_o scripture_n be_v to_o be_v expound_v so_o as_o not_o to_o contradict_v another_o and_o place_n that_o be_v obscure_a must_v receive_v light_n from_o those_o that_o be_v plain_a now_o the_o place_n that_o speak_v of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n do_v plain_o show_v that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v receive_v only_o by_o such_o as_o have_v the_o use_n of_o reason_n and_o have_v understanding_n as_o oft_o as_o you_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n you_o do_v show_v forth_o or_o show_v you_o forth_o the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v and_o in_o the_o next_o verse_n let_v a_o man_n examine_v himself_o 27._o 1_o cor._n 11.26_o 27._o and_o so_o let_v he_o eat_v of_o that_o bread_n and_o drink_v of_o that_o cup_n etc._n etc._n self-examination_n and_o commemoration_n of_o christ_n death_n be_v the_o essential_a and_o indispensible_a duty_n of_o those_o that_o come_v to_o that_o sacrament_n neither_o of_o which_o child_n be_v capable_a of_o perform_v and_o consequent_o can_v be_v include_v in_o the_o latter_a of_o these_o text_n but_o must_v be_v so_o in_o the_o former_a unless_o some_o scripture_n can_v be_v show_v to_o the_o contrary_n which_o hitherto_o i_o presume_v have_v not_o be_v do_v but_o if_o they_o shall_v still_o persist_v and_o say_v that_o this_o place_n be_v not_o express_v and_o plain_a enough_o for_o they_o who_o make_v scripture_n their_o rule_n and_o go_v no_o further_o than_o they_o have_v express_v warrant_v from_o thence_o then_o i_o desire_v that_o they_o will_v please_v to_o show_v any_o authority_n out_o of_o scripture_n for_o the_o communicate_v of_o woman_n or_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n so_o strong_a and_o full_a as_o this_o be_v for_o the_o baptise_v of_o infant_n my_o second_o argument_n for_o infant-baptism_n be_v from_o reason_n infant_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o this_o sacrament_n and_o this_o sacrament_n be_v effectual_a as_o to_o what_o they_o need_v and_o therefore_o in_o all_o reason_n they_o ought_v to_o be_v admit_v to_o it_o and_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o deny_v it_o they_o they_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o it_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o pollution_n of_o their_o nature_n by_o original_a sin_n be_v conceive_v in_o sin_n and_o bear_v in_o iniquity_n 51.5_o psal_n 51.5_o now_o that_o baptism_n do_v take_v away_o original_a sin_n as_o to_o the_o guilt_n
