be_v no_o certainty_n for_o it_o that_o they_o baptize_v none_o but_o such_o as_o be_v able_a to_o make_v acknowledgement_n of_o their_o faith_n there_o be_v more_o probability_n on_o the_o contrary_a that_o they_o baptize_v even_o some_o infant_n as_o namely_o when_o they_o baptize_v whole_a family_n as_o lydia_n and_o her_o household_n 16.18_o household_n act._n 16.18_o the_o jailor_n with_o

albeit_o a_o man_n can_v make_v a_o certain_a demonstration_n that_o in_o these_o general_a baptism_n administer_v to_o whole_a family_n there_o be_v some_o infant_n baptize_v with_o the_o rest_n yet_o it_o be_v very_o strange_a if_o there_o shall_v be_v none_o in_o none_o of_o these_o household_n and_o to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v in_o such_o speech_n and_o figurative_a speak_n all_o the_o family_n be_v put_v for_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o family_n and_o so_o under_o that_o colour_n to_o exclude_v infant_n be_v but_o a_o indifferent_a evasion_n it_o be_v a_o rule_n that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o account_v any_o thing_n as_o figurative_o where_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n for_o the_o avoid_n of_o some_o manifest_a inconvenience_n like_a to_o follow_v if_o the_o word_n of_o the_o sentence_n shall_v be_v take_v proper_o be_v it_o that_o none_o of_o all_o these_o thing_n will_v serve_v to_o justify_v the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n yet_o unable_a to_o make_v confession_n of_o their_o faith_n yet_o their_o interest_n into_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v a_o sufficient_a plea_n that_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o they_o that_o believe_v and_o to_o their_o child_n 39_o
