will_v think_v himself_o in_o honour_n and_o gratitude_n bind_v to_o own_o and_o stand_v to_o the_o obligation_n which_o he_o then_o contract_v when_o he_o be_v gracious_o admit_v to_o so_o many_o

a_o very_a ill_a nature_n and_o untoward_a disposition_n to_o break_v such_o solemn_a foederal_n vow_n and_o therefore_o we_o see_v that_o child_n general_o do_v ready_o take_v upon_o themselves_o their_o baptismal_a obligation_n when_o they_o come_v to_o the_o use_n of_o reason_n whereas_o be_v they_o leave_v alone_o to_o their_o own_o freedom_n when_o they_o will_v be_v baptise_a they_o will_v be_v apt_a to_o put_v it_o off_o from_o time_n to_o time_n through_o the_o averseness_n that_o the_o corrupt_a nature_n of_o man_n have_v to_o such_o strict_a and_o spiritual_a engagement_n and_o in_o such_o a_o state_n of_o liberty_n as_o this_o man_n will_v need_v as_o many_o and_o as_o earnest_a exhortation_n unto_o baptism_n as_o unto_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o in_o such_o a_o

allow_v child_n to_o be_v bring_v unto_o he_o in_o baptism_n the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o church_n be_v high_o to_o be_v applaud_v for_o bring_v they_o under_o such_o a_o early_a and_o beneficial_a pre-engagement_n and_o not_o leave_v they_o to_o their_o own_o liberty_n at_o such_o year_n when_o flesh_n and_o blood_n will_v be_v apt_a to_o find_v out_o so_o many_o shift_n and_o excuse_n and_o make_v they_o regret_n to_o be_v baptise_a and_o therefore_o in_o the_o second_o place_n as_o the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n be_v very_o beneficial_a and_o profitable_a unto_o they_o so_o it_o
