have_v command_v they_o to_o ââize_v penitent_a believer_n which_o be_v person_n of_o grow_v âââs_n to_o which_o command_n they_o be_v obedient_a and_o we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o account_v

i_o will_v offer_v a_o argument_n or_o two_o to_o prove_v that_o infanâ_n sprinkle_v be_v not_o of_o divine_a authority_n the_o sprinkle_v of_o infant_n be_v either_o from_o heaven_n ãâã_d of_o men._n but_o it_o be_v not_o from_o heaven_n ergo_fw-la it_o be_v of_o men._n if_o it_o be_v from_o heaven_n the_o holy_a scripture_n have_v soââ_n where_o reveal_v it_o so_o to_o be_v but_o it_o be_v not_o

ãâã_d tell_v i_o yes_o for_o he_o have_v tumbling_n and_o toss_n âââout_v it_o in_o his_o own_o mind_n in_o his_o young_a day_n but_o now_o ãâã_d be_v satisfy_v ãâã_d desire_a then_o to_o know_v the_o

he_o say_v that_o be_v true_a but_o why_o can_v they_o comply_v ãâã_d with_o it_o now_o my_o lord_n they_o have_v get_v a_o notion_n in_o their_o head_n that_o ãâã_d not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o any_o man_n or_o number_n of_o man_n in_o ãâã_d world_n to_o alter_v the_o nature_n of_o institution_n so_o as_o to_o ãâã_d that_o divine_a that_o be_v in_o itself_o humane_a or_o that_o huââe_n that_o be_v in_o itself_o divine_a the_o bishop_n reply_v they_o be_v right_a in_o that_o for_o none_o ãâã_d alter_v the_o nature_n of_o thing_n but_o god_n alone_o why_o then_o my_o lord_n forasmuch_o as_o you_o do_v not_o baptize_v infant_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o king_n or_o king_n and_o parliament_n as_o a_o humane_a institution_n but_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n

in_o the_o scripture_n you_o shall_v not_o baptize_v infant_n i_o reply_v my_o lord_n i_o shall_v only_o put_v your_o lordship_n in_o mind_n of_o thâ_n note_n of_o a_o learned_a man_n upon_o that_o of_o leu._n 10.1_o 2._o concern_v nadab_n and_o abihu_n son_n of_o aaron_n priest_n of_o the_o lord_n who_o offer_v strange_a fire_n before_o the_o lord_n which_o the_o lord_n command_v they_o not_o

these_o few_o thing_n 1._o who_o tell_v he_o there_o be_v water_n in_o that_o cloud_n for_o the_o epistle_n of_o judas_n ver_fw-la 12._o we_o read_v of_o cloud_n without_o water_n and_o we_o must_v

14.21_o the_o lââd_v the_o sea_n dry_a land_n and_o the_o water_n be_v divide_v ver._n 22._o and_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n go_v into_o the_o midst_n sea_n upon_o the_o dry_a ground_n and_o the_o
