discover_v amount_v to_o no_o more_o than_o to_o show_v that_o the_o gentile_n be_v not_o by_o almighty_a god_n exclude_v from_o the_o covenant_n from_o whence_o st._n peter_n own_o reason_n convince_v he_o that_o therefore_o they_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v st._n peter_n have_v a_o vision_n from_o heaven_n wherein_o there_o appear_v act_v 10._o 11._o a_o certain_a vessel_n descend_v unto_o he_o as_o it_o have_v be_v a_o great_a sheet_n knit_v at_o the_o four_o corner_n and_o let_v down_o to_o the_o earth_n wherein_o be_v all_o manner_n of_o fourfooted_a beast_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o wild_a beast_n and_o creep_a thing_n and_o foul_n of_o the_o air._n and_o there_o come_v a_o voice_n to_o he_o rise_v peter_n kill_v and_o eat_v and_o when_o peter_n say_v not_o so_o lord_n for_o i_o have_v never_o eat_v any_o thing_n common_a or_o unclean_a the_o voice_n speak_v the_o second_o time_n what_o god_n have_v cleanse_v that_o call_v not_o thou_o common_a and_o this_o be_v do_v thrice_o and_o the_o vessel_n be_v receive_v up_o again_o into_o heaven_n here_o be_v nothing_o in_o express_a word_n about_o the_o gentile_n nor_o do_v st._n peter_n yet_o apprehend_v that_o they_o be_v concern_v in_o the_o vision_n for_o it_o be_v say_v ver._n 17._o that_o peter_n doubt_v in_o himself_o what_o the_o vision_n which_o he_o have_v see_v shall_v mean_v but_o when_o the_o holy_a spirit_n give_v he_o warn_v of_o three_o man_n come_v to_o he_o and_o order_v he_o to_o go_v along_o with_o they_o doubt_v nothing_o and_o the_o messenger_n present_o come_v from_o cornelius_n the_o centurion_n who_o be_v a_o gentile_a then_o he_o understand_v by_o deduction_n of_o his_o own_o reason_n that_o the_o vision_n refer_v to_o the_o gentile_n and_o that_o god_n have_v signify_v thereby_o that_o they_o notwithstanding_o their_o repute_a uncleanness_n may_v be_v admit_v into_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n ver._n 31._o of_o a_o truth_n i_o perceive_v that_o god_n be_v no_o respecter_n of_o person_n but_o in_o every_o nation_n he_o that_o sear_v god_n etc._n etc._n here_o be_v in_o all_o this_o no_o express_a command_n for_o admit_v the_o gentile_n but_o a_o vision_n from_o which_o this_o be_v to_o be_v learn_v by_o way_n of_o inference_n and_o deduction_n and_o st._n peter_n convince_v by_o this_o preach_v jesus_n christ_n unto_o they_o and_o as_o he_o be_v preach_v the_o holy_a ghost_n fall_v on_o all_o they_o that_o hear_v the_o word_n and_o they_o speak_v with_o tongue_n and_o magnify_v god_n ver._n 44_o 46._o here_o be_v all_o this_o while_n no_o precept_n or_o express_v command_n to_o baptize_v they_o but_o st._n peter_n be_v convince_v both_o by_o the_o vision_n and_o by_o the_o descent_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n upon_o they_o that_o the_o covenant_n belong_v to_o they_o from_o thence_o conclude_v by_o way_n of_o inference_n that_o they_o therefore_o ought_v to_o be_v baptise_a ver._n 47_o 48._o can_v any_o man_n forbid_v water_n that_o these_o shall_v be_v baptize_v who_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o well_o as_o we_o and_o he_o command_v they_o to_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n i_o hope_v it_o will_v not_o be_v dispute_v but_o that_o the_o admission_n of_o the_o gentile_n be_v a_o very_a fundamental_a doctrine_n in_o christianity_n from_o this_o instance_n therefore_o i_o observe_v 1._o that_o the_o inference_n from_o a_o divine_a revelation_n have_v with_o st._n peter_n the_o force_n and_o authority_n of_o a_o divine_a law_n as_o much_o as_o though_o it_o have_v be_v say_v totidem_fw-la verbis_fw-la you_o shall_v admit_v the_o gentile_n into_o the_o christian_a church_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o he_o tell_v his_o brethren_n act_n 11._o 17._o that_o his_o not_o comply_v have_v be_v withstand_v the_o authority_n of_o god_n forasmuch_o then_o as_o god_n give_v they_o the_o same_o gift_n that_o he_o do_v unto_o we_o that_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n what_o be_v i_o that_o i_o can_v withstand_v god_n 2._o that_o when_o we_o be_v sufficient_o assure_v that_o any_o person_n be_v capable_a of_o admission_n into_o the_o christian_a covenant_n this_o be_v a_o sufficient_a authority_n to_o baptize_v they_o without_o any_o particular_a express_a command_n the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o this_o vision_n give_v no_o command_n for_o baptise_v cornelius_n but_o only_o teach_v st._n peter_n that_o the_o gentile_n be_v not_o to_o be_v exclude_v from_o the_o covenant_n and_o from_o thence_o he_o himself_o can_v sufficient_o determine_v that_o it_o be_v god_n will_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v baptize_v who_o can_v forbid_v water_n that_o these_o shall_v be_v baptize_v and_o to_o bring_v this_o home_n to_o our_o case_n it_o be_v just_a thus_o that_o we_o argue_v for_o infant_n baptism_n god_n have_v from_o the_o beginning_n with_o abraham_n teach_v we_o that_o infant_n be_v not_o exclude_v from_o the_o covenant_n of_o christ_n and_o from_o thence_o we_o conclude_v as_o st._n peter_n do_v that_o those_o who_o be_v not_o exclude_v from_o the_o covenant_n be_v include_v in_o the_o general_a precept_n of_o admit_v they_o by_o baptism_n and_o how_o strange_a be_v the_o power_n of_o prejudice_n not_o to_o be_v satisfy_v with_o that_o way_n and_o method_n of_o conviction_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n himself_o use_v to_o the_o great_a apostle_n of_o our_o saviour_n to_o this_o i_o have_v find_v object_v that_o there_o be_v express_v law_n for_o baptise_v of_o the_o gentile_n matt._n 18._o go_v teach_v and_o baptize_v all_o nation_n etc._n etc._n to_o this_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o though_o we_o who_o be_v assure_v that_o it_o be_v god_n purpose_n to_o call_v the_o gentile_n do_v very_o well_o to_o interpret_v that_o command_n for_o convert_v and_o baptise_v they_o yet_o the_o apostle_n before_o this_o vision_n of_o st._n peter_n do_v not_o apprehend_v this_o to_o be_v the_o mean_v of_o it_o and_o a_o law_n can_v have_v no_o force_n nor_o be_v any_o warrant_n far_o than_o the_o purpose_n and_o mean_v of_o it_o can_v be_v understand_v 2._o the_o word_n themselves_o do_v not_o necessary_o and_o literal_o imply_v any_o such_o mean_v that_o the_o gentile_n be_v to_o be_v 7._o in_o mat._n 24._o 7._o admit_v for_o as_o dr._n hammond_n have_v true_o observe_v the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d do_v not_o then_o in_o common_a use_n import_v the_o gentile_n always_o exclusive_a of_o the_o jew_n but_o be_v oft_o use_v for_o the_o jew_n in_o their_o several_a nation_n and_o country_n and_o indeed_o have_v that_o word_n in_o common_a acceptation_n signify_v the_o gentile_n i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o st._n peter_n and_o the_o other_o apostle_n can_v have_v be_v ignorant_a of_o that_o doctrine_n and_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o on_o this_o account_n god_n may_v think_v fit_a to_o make_v further_a discovery_n of_o the_o call_v in_o of_o the_o gentile_n the_o better_a to_o instruct_v they_o what_o be_v his_o purpose_n and_o intention_n in_o those_o former_a word_n but_o in_o short_a what_o be_v it_o that_o move_v st._n peter_n to_o baptize_v cornelius_n do_v he_o do_v it_o upon_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o precept_n mention_v matt._n 28._o it_o be_v plain_a he_o do_v not_o he_o do_v not_o then_o so_o understand_v those_o word_n and_o its_o observable_a that_o in_o all_o that_o affair_n there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o mention_n make_v of_o that_o forementioned_a precept_n but_o it_o be_v the_o vision_n that_o convince_v and_o rectify_v st._n peter_n judgement_n by_o the_o rational_a inference_n which_o he_o be_v to_o draw_v from_o it_o and_o i_o may_v add_v that_o what_o convince_v he_o convince_v all_o his_o brethren_n too_o act_n 11._o 18._o when_o they_o hear_v those_o thing_n they_o hold_v their_o peace_n and_o glorify_a god_n say_v then_o have_v god_n also_o to_o the_o gentile_n grant_v repentance_n unto_o life_n and_o thus_o it_o still_o remain_v good_a that_o a_o argument_n by_o deduction_n from_o scripture_n or_o revelation_n be_v sufficient_a to_o convince_v we_o who_o be_v the_o fit_a subject_n of_o christian_a baptism_n and_o by_o such_o a_o argument_n we_o do_v prove_v that_o the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n be_v found_v on_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n holy_a word_n chap._n iii_o the_o four_o and_o last_o objection_n be_v that_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v of_o any_o such_o practice_n among_o the_o apostle_n or_o the_o most_o primitive_a time_n i_o must_v here_o observe_v that_o the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n be_v now_o change_v from_o matter_n of_o law_n to_o matter_n of_o fact_n and_o we_o be_v now_o only_o to_o inquire_v what_o discovery_n we_o can_v find_v of_o such_o a_o practice_n in_o the_o beginning_n of_o christianity_n as_o to_o this_o objection_n therefore_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o though_o it_o be_v
