A47391	The ax laid to the root, or, One blow more at the foundation of infant baptism, and church-membership. Part I containing an exposition of that metaphorical text of Holy Scripture, Mat. 3. 10. : being the substance of two sermons lately preached, with some additions, wherein is shewed that God made a two-fold covenant with Abraham, and that circumcision appertained not to the covenant of grace, but to the legal and external covenant God made with Abraham's natural seed, as such : together with an answer to Mr. John Flavel's last grand arguments in his Vindiciarum Vindex, in his last reply to Mr. Philip Cary, also to Mr. Rothwell's Pædo-baptisms vindicatur, as to what seems most material / by Benjamin Keach ...

as_o the_o say_v learned_a writer_n observe_v may_v be_v very_o pernicious_a for_o say_v he_o indeed_o if_o this_o argument_n be_v not_o wary_o and_o restrain_o understand_v a_o egg_n be_v lay_v out_o of_o which_o manifest_a judaisme_n may_v be_v hatch_v but_o if_o it_o be_v take_v restrain_o it_o no_o more_o follow_v thence_o but_o baptism_n and_o circumcision_n in_o some_o thing_n hold_v forth_o
