to_o sit_v upon_o his_o throne_n meaning_n that_o christ_n be_v to_o sit_v there_o but_o more_o of_o that_o anon_o hence_o you_o may_v see_v that_o christ_n be_v to_o receive_v a_o kingdom_n and_o

according_a to_o the_o scripture_n rom._n 8.17_o 2_o tim._n 2.12_o and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o nine_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o
not_o a_o fit_a subject_n for_o baptism_n for_o baptism_n represent_v a_o death_n and_o burial_n of_o the_o old_a man_n and_o a_o rise_n to_o life_n in_o the_o new_a man_n which_o can_v be_v

between_o god_n and_o the_o soul_n wherein_o the_o soul_n promise_v to_o put_v on_o christ_n and_o walk_v in_o he_o and_o god_n promise_v to_o give_v he_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o assist_v he_o in_o his_o so_o walk_v which_o show_v that_o the_o person_n thus_o covenant_v in_o baptism_n must_v be_v a_o believer_n and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o 10._o and_o last_o reason_n that_o at_o present_a i_o shall_v represent_v unto_o you_o to_o prove_v that_o believer_n be_v the_o only_a fit_a subject_n of_o baptism_n which_o be_v reas_n 10._o because_o without_o faith_n it_o be_v unprofitable_a for_o any_o to_o appear_v before_o god_n in_o any_o gospel_n ordinance_n for_o without_o faith_n they_o can_v please_v he_o in_o their_o so_o appear_v before_o he_o heb._n 11.6_o for_o he_o that_o

at_o large_a and_o thus_o of_o old_a be_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o prepare_v a_o temple_n for_o the_o lord_n of_o sanctify_a stone_n build_v up_o a_o spiritual_a

baptise_a and_o so_o to_o the_o first_o reason_n which_o be_v reas_n 1._o because_o god_n have_v no_o where_n in_o scripture_n appoint_v infant_n to_o be_v baptise_a either_o by_o precept_n or_o by_o the_o example_n of_o the_o apostle_n whole_a step_n we_o be_v to_o follow_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o unlawful_a practice_n for_o whosoever_o add_v to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n will_v add_v the_o plague_n which_o be_v write_v and_o the_o prophet_n that_o shall_v presume_v to_o speak_v a_o word_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o he_o have_v not_o command_v the_o

as_o for_o god_n way_n as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n it_o be_v very_o plain_a and_o perfect_a as_o witness_v that_o ordinance_n of_o circumcision_n there_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o

at_o eight_o day_n old_a nay_o his_o servant_n and_o slave_n be_v to_o be_v circumcise_a and_o in_o a_o word_n no_o uncircumcised_a person_n must_v abide_v in_o that_o land_n nor_o be_v account_v of_o abraham_n family_n which_o show_v that_o in_o a_o spiritual_a sense_n none_o can_v be_v account_v abraham_n seed_n but_o such_o as_o be_v circumcise_a in_o heart_n viz._n those_o that_o have_v the_o

for_o righteousness_n know_v you_o therefore_o say_v he_o that_o they_o which_o be_v of_o faith_n the_o same_o be_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n so_o than_o infant_n not_o have_v the_o vail_n of_o

that_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o some_o place_n to_o be_v understand_v blood_n be_v clear_a because_o the_o life_n or_o blood_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v all_o one_o in_o many_o place_n and_o so_o it_o be_v say_v that_o christ_n make_v his_o soul_n a_o offering_n for_o sin_n and_o that_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v his_o life_n or_o more_o proper_o his_o blood_n for_o without_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o also_o i_o have_v before_o show_v that_o the_o greek_a word_n soul_n bear_v such_o a_o signification_n as_o blood_n and_o if_o so_o it_o be_v very_o proper_a for_o the_o soul_n viz._n blood_n to_o cry_v for_o vengeance_n for_o so_o do_v abel_n blood_n cry_v for_o vengeance_n against_o cain_n and_o also_o christ_n blood_n do_v cry_v for_o vengeance_n against_o such_o as_o be_v guilty_a of_o it_o by_o trample_v it_o under_o foot_n although_o it_o do_v speak_v for_o the_o penitent_a better_a thing_n than_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n and_o thus_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o sixth_o chapter_n of_o the_o revelation_n that_o after_o the_o red_a horse_n and_o he_o that_o sit_v upon_o he_o with_o the_o great_a sword_n have_v take_v peace_n from_o the_o

which_o john_n see_v and_o declare_v when_o he_o say_v i_o see_v the_o soul_n which_o be_v slay_v for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o testimony_n which_o they_o hold_v and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o
