say_v unto_o infant_n must_v not_o they_o receive_v the_o grace_n of_o justification_n by_o baptism_n before_o they_o have_v wit_n to_o believe_v and_o to_o reason_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o he_o prescribe_v before_o i_o come_v unto_o the_o argument_n of_o either_o party_n i_o think_v fit_a to_o give_v the_o reader_n to_o understand_v that_o whether_o the_o sacrament_n be_v true_a physical_a instrument_n of_o grace_n or_o no_o 11._o lib._n 2._o de_fw-fr sacram._n in_o gener_fw-la cap._n 11._o be_v not_o a_o matter_n of_o faith_n as_o cardinal_n bellarmine_n declare_v so_o we_o hold_v they_o to_o be_v true_a moral_a cause_n of_o the_o same_o grace_n to_o which_o m._n per._n yield_v his_o consent_n wherefore_o i_o will_v not_o be_v long_o in_o this_o question_n second_o to_o perceive_v well_o the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n you_o must_v observe_v what_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o a_o physical_a and_o moral_a instrument_n that_o then_o may_v be_v call_v a_o moral_a instrument_n which_o move_v the_o principal_a agent_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n albeit_o he_o use_v not_o that_o thing_n itself_o as_o a_o mean_n to_o do_v it_o withal_o so_o that_o if_o god_n be_v effectual_o move_v to_o bestow_v grace_n upon_o he_o that_o receive_v a_o sacrament_n by_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o sacrament_n though_o he_o give_v not_o the_o grace_n by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o sacrament_n but_o immediate_o from_o he_o self_n the_o sacrament_n be_v the_o moral_a mean_n of_o the_o same_o grace_n but_o it_o can_v be_v call_v the_o physical_a or_o natural_a instrument_n of_o that_o grace_n unless_o god_n do_v use_v and_o apply_v the_o sacrament_n itself_o as_o the_o mean_a and_o instrument_n to_o convey_v the_o same_o grace_n into_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o receiver_n now_o we_o hold_v it_o more_o agreeable_a with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o sentence_n of_o the_o holy_a father_n and_o more_o for_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o sacrament_n themselves_o to_o say_v that_o god_n by_o they_o as_o by_o true_a natural_a instrument_n do_v convey_v his_o grace_n into_o our_o soul_n m._n perkins_n go_v about_o to_o prove_v the_o contrary_a thus_o the_o word_n preach_v and_o the_o sacrament_n do_v differ_v in_o the_o manner_n of_o give_v christ_n unto_o we_o because_o the_o word_n work_v by_o the_o ear_n and_o the_o sacrament_n by_o the_o eye_n otherwise_o for_o the_o give_v itself_o they_o differ_v not_o christ_n say_v that_o in_o the_o very_a word_n be_v eat_v his_o own_o flesh_n and_o what_o can_v be_v say_v more_o of_o the_o lord_n supper_n augustine_n

see_v the_o work_n do_v in_o the_o word_n preach_v confer_v not_o grace_n neither_o do_v the_o work_n do_v in_o the_o sacrament_n confer_v grace_n i_o answer_v that_o his_o own_o first_o word_n must_v stand_v wherein_o he_o say_v that_o the_o word_n preach_v and_o the_o sacrament_n do_v differ_v in_o the_o manner_n of_o give_v we_o christ_n grace_n for_o preach_v do_v by_o persuasion_n draw_v we_o unto_o grace_n and_o goodness_n but_o the_o sacrament_n as_o conduite-pipe_n do_v take_v and_o derive_v grace_n from_o christ_n passion_n and_o convey_v it_o into_o the_o soul_n of_o all_o they_o who_o do_v not_o stop_v up_o those_o divine_a conduit_n by_o their_o own_o default_n and_o want_v of_o due_a preparation_n to_o his_o idle_a and_o ill_a shape_a commation_n i_o answer_v that_o

body_n and_o in_o this_o second_o sort_n infant_n in_o baptism_n and_o all_o true_a believer_n do_v eat_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n but_o how_o this_o prove_v that_o the_o word_n and_o the_o sacrament_n do_v give_v grace_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n be_v there_o any_o man_n that_o can_v tell_v his_o second_o reason_n i_o baptise_v you_o with_o water_n to_o repentance_n 11._o math._n
