child_n to_o keep_v christ_n command_n by_o engage_v they_o thereto_o by_o baptism_n so_o that_o as_o the_o gentile_n come_v to_o be_v fellow-heire_n with_o the_o jew_n and_o as_o child_n have_v former_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o jewish_a nation_n and_o church_n and_o be_v now_o a_o part_n of_o the_o nation_n according_a to_o the_o scope_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o word_n of_o the_o commission_n give_v by_o christ_n there_o be_v a_o express_a command_n for_o the_o baptise_v of_o they_o 12._o but_o yet_o as_o the_o gospel_n be_v right_o understand_v believe_v and_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o any_o there_o be_v yet_o more_o to_o be_v say_v for_o little_a child_n as_o namely_o 1._o that_o though_o they_o be_v conceive_v and_o bear_v sinner_n yet_o while_o they_o be_v not_o come_v to_o the_o use_n of_o understanding_n so_o as_o they_o have_v choose_v no_o idol_n nor_o be_v yet_o capable_a of_o the_o mean_n that_o shall_v bring_v they_o to_o believe_v he_o that_o be_v the_o father_n of_o the_o helpless_a have_v they_o in_o his_o protection_n and_o he_o that_o will_v not_o gather_v where_o he_o have_v not_o sow_o will_v not_o charge_v they_o with_o unbelief_n and_o so_o not_o with_o their_o other_o sin_n and_o so_o in_o a_o sense_n of_o christ_n account_n they_o may_v be_v say_v to_o believe_v mat._n 18.2.6_o with_o 19.13.14_o and_o though_o beyond_o our_o understanding_n how_o yet_o it_o be_v as_o beleivable_a as_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o carne_a expectation_n of_o the_o creature_n rom._n 8.19_o but_o if_o god_n will_v accept_v it_o as_o so_o who_o be_v we_o to_o fault_n he_o and_o if_o he_o will_v account_v our_o bring_v our_o child_n to_o he_o their_o come_n let_v we_o accept_v of_o it_o 2._o that_o it_o flow_v from_o the_o word_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o believer_n and_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o command_v of_o christ_n write_v therein_o to_o disciple_v their_o child_n for_o the_o faith_n they_o have_v in_o believe_v the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o they_o and_o the_o redemption_n wrought_v for_o they_o lead_v they_o to_o take_v they_o as_o the_o price_n of_o blood_n put_v in_o their_o hand_n to_o bring_v up_o for_o god_n as_o jacob_n take_v his_o child_n and_o the_o love_n that_o have_v spring_v up_o from_o god_n love_n in_o they_o lead_v they_o to_o love_v and_o accept_v who_o god_n accept_v and_o to_o reckon_v according_a to_o his_o judgement_n and_o so_o to_o receive_v they_o by_o baptism_n into_o his_o family_n to_o bring_v up_o for_o he_o have_v his_o allowance_n and_o thus_o much_o about_o this_o medium_n of_o baptise_v as_o for_o objection_n against_o baptise_v child_n i_o have_v purpose_v to_o avoid_v contention_n and_o so_o shall_v meddle_v little_o far_o than_o what_o be_v already_o do_v as_o for_o the_o demand_n of_o a_o example_n of_o child_n mention_v to_o be_v baptize_v they_o be_v enclusive_o mention_v in_o the_o word_n nation_n the_o word_n household_n in_o type_n mention_v but_o it_o be_v enough_o it_o be_v command_v and_o be_v forementioned_a and_o there_o be_v reason_n of_o small_a mention_v they_o because_o the_o writing_n be_v at_o the_o first_o call_v of_o the_o church_n and_o it_o will_v have_v break_v the_o jew_n in_o piece_n to_o have_v see_v their_o circumcision_n at_o first_o to_o throw_v down_o which_o they_o yet_o so_o esteem_v and_o even_o the_o apostle_n see_v not_o the_o largeness_n of_o the_o extent_n of_o their_o commission_n at_o first_o act_v 10._o and_o 11._o as_o for_o that_o be_v say_v child_n understand_v it_o not_o it_o be_v answer_v as_o much_o as_o they_o do_v curcumcision_n and_o though_o they_o do_v not_o understand_v it_o when_o baptize_v yet_o as_o christ_n say_v to_o peter_n they_o may_v afterward_o john_n 13.7_o the_o perverting_n of_o the_o text_n abuse_v of_o single_a example_n to_o limit_v with_o etc._n etc._n i_o will_v omit_v nor_o will_v i_o press_v any_o to_o more_o speedy_a baptise_v their_o child_n then_o according_a as_o by_o the_o light_n they_o have_v in_o the_o gospel_n they_o see_v cause_n as_o for_o such_o as_o believe_v not_o the_o report_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o extent_n of_o it_o i_o pity_v they_o because_o i_o see_v not_o how_o they_o can_v go_v upon_o any_o certain_a ground_n to_o baptize_v any_o child_n at_o all_o see_v they_o be_v not_o certain_a whether_o christ_n die_v and_o rise_v for_o they_o or_o not_o but_o though_o i_o see_v not_o i_o hope_v some_o of_o they_o do_v or_o else_o they_o will_v not_o do_v it_o but_o i_o will_v proceed_v no_o far_o in_o this_o believe_v it_o already_o prove_v that_o all_o of_o as_o that_o be_v baptize_v in_o our_o infancy_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o sin_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n profess_o we_o have_v be_v baptize_v and_o have_v there_o be_v some_o more_o error_n than_o be_v of_o man_n mixture_n in_o the_o administration_n thereof_o though_o they_o be_v evil_a and_o to_o be_v repent_v yet_o they_o make_v not_o the_o lord_n baptism_n null_n as_o be_v show_v page_n 9_o 10_o 11_o 16_o 17_o 18._o so_o that_o i_o look_v at_o myself_o and_o all_o so_o baptize_v as_o engage_v in_o the_o very_a acceptance_n of_o this_o baptism_n as_o in_o the_o great_a and_o most_o solemn_a row_n to_o believe_v and_o yield_v to_o the_o say_n of_o christ_n to_o wait_v for_o and_o yield_v to_o his_o spirit_n for_o conform_v to_o the_o do_v of_o christ_n that_o we_o may_v not_o live_v to_o ourselves_o but_o unto_o christ_n so_o that_o other_o baptise_v with_o elementary_a water_n we_o need_v not_o but_o such_o a_o remembrance_n of_o god_n mercy_n and_o our_o engagement_n in_o that_o baptism_n that_o we_o yield_v to_o all_o the_o operation_n of_o his_o grace_n in_o his_o say_n in_o affliction_n and_o motion_n of_o he_o that_o the_o baptism_n into_o oneness_n with_o and_o conformity_n to_o christ_n may_v be_v more_o effect_v in_o we_o but_o for_o man_n that_o have_v be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o their_o infancy_n after_o they_o come_v to_o believe_v to_o be_v press_v again_o to_o be_v baptize_v with_o water_n i_o can_v but_o look_v at_o as_o evil_a and_o sinful_a because_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o christ_n commission_n for_o it_o no_o precept_n or_o example_n for_o it_o nor_o promise_n to_o it_o in_o all_o the_o scripture_n nor_o yet_o have_v i_o ever_o meet_v with_o any_o place_n allege_v for_o a_o baptise_v again_o with_o water_n any_o that_o be_v once_o profess_o baptize_v so_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n before_o but_o only_o that_o one_o place_n act_n 19_o 4_o 5._o where_o if_o that_o be_v true_a as_o they_o conceive_v and_o grant_v as_o they_o will_v have_v it_o namely_o that_o those_o twelve_o be_v fore-baptized_n with_o water_n to_o john_n baptism_n and_o then_o baptize_v again_o by_o paul_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n yet_o make_v it_o nothing_o for_o their_o purpose_n for_o than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o those_o who_o former_o baptize_v they_o do_v not_o themselves_o understand_v what_o john_n baptism_n be_v though_o they_o name_v it_o and_o baptize_v unto_o it_o and_o so_o they_o be_v not_o before_o in_o word_n or_o profess_o baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n or_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n of_o the_o son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o then_o it_o be_v not_o baptism_n that_o be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o so_o it_o paul_n do_v baptize_v they_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n it_o be_v because_o they_o be_v not_o so_o baptize_v before_o at_o all_o as_o we_o in_o our_o infancy_n be_v and_o so_o it_o make_v nothing_o for_o baptise_v again_o any_o that_o be_v profess_o baptize_v in_o that_o name_n but_o indeed_o there_o be_v no_o such_o say_n as_o that_o either_o paul_n baptize_v those_o twelve_o or_o that_o they_o be_v baptize_v again_o the_o contrary_a rather_o appear_v for_o luke_n in_o his_o story_n tell_v of_o paul_n journey_n to_o ephesus_n and_o that_o he_o find_v certain_a disciple_n there_o in_o the_o second_o verse_n tell_v we_o of_o paul_n question_n and_o their_o answer_n and_o in_o the_o three_o verse_n of_o paul_n reply_n to_o or_o demand_v on_o their_o answer_n unto_o what_o then_o be_v you_o baptize_v and_o their_o return_n of_o answer_n unto_o john_n baptism_n and_o then_o luke_n tess_n we_o again_o of_o paul_n return_n of_o answer_n and_o instruction_n therein_o to_o they_o verse_n 4_o and_o 5._o and_o then_o of_o his_o action_n towards_o they_o in_o verse_n 6_o in_o verse_n 4_o paul_n first_o justifi_v john_n baptism_n as_o our_o saviour_n act_v 1.5_o john_n very_o baptize_v with_o the_o
