promise_n do_v only_o belong_v under_o the_o term_n seed_n for_o if_o it_o be_v otherwise_o then_o must_v they_o be_v comprehend_v gen._n 17._o 7_o 8._o under_o the_o term_v thou_o and_o then_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o phrase_n to_o wit_n and_o to_o thy_o seed_n will_v be_v in_o vain_a and_o superfluous_a which_o to_o think_v be_v very_o irrational_a but_o put_v case_n it_o be_v grant_v they_o to_o be_v father_n as_o they_o desire_v to_o be_v like_a to_o abraham_n then_o must_v they_o be_v father_n of_o only_a such_o as_o believe_v and_o not_o until_o they_o believe_v for_o according_a to_o the_o tenor_n of_o this_o new_a covenant_n and_o in_o the_o gospel_n sense_n abraham_n himself_o be_v father_n of_o none_o other_o nor_o otherwise_o and_o then_o be_v they_o father_n of_o their_o

their_o child_n warrantable_o hence_o therefore_o i_o affirm_v that_o puplican_n and_o harlot_n may_v be_v the_o seed_n and_o have_v as_o much_o right_n to_o baptism_n as_o any_o believer_n seed_n or_o as_o any_o of_o abraham_n own_o natural_a seed_n for_o all_o and_o every_o of_o these_o must_v first_o repent_v and_o then_o be_v baptize_v act._n 2._o 38._o and_o upon_o the_o same_o term_n

do_v become_v abraham_n seed_n they_o will_v say_v only_o by_o faith_n then_o dare_v i_o say_v their_o child_n must_v become_v the_o same_o seed_n by_o the_o same_o way_n and_o no_o other_o for_o abraham_n have_v not_o two_o sort_n of_o seed_n in_o the_o sense_n and_o acceptation_n of_o he_o gospel_n they_o further_a reason_n from_o the_o equity_n of_o circumcision_n thus_o as_o infant_n then_o by_o god_n allowance_n receive_v that_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n so_o by_o proportion_n why_o not_o this_o now_o of_o baptism_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v god_n command_v abraham_n to_o circumcise_v all_o the_o male_n in_o his_o house_n and_o every_o male_a child_n at_o eight_o day_n old_a as_o well_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v in_o his_o house_n as_o he_o that_o be_v buy_v with_o money_n of_o any_o strange_a that_o be_v not_o of_o his_o seed_n now_o it_o be_v both_o right_a and_o equal_a that_o abraham_n shall_v do_v herein_o as_o god_n have_v command_v he_o and_o it_o have_v be_v sinful_a for_o he_o to_o have_v do_v otherwise_o more_o or_o less_o and_o so_o likewise_o it_o be_v right_a for_o we_o to_o do_v as_o god_n have_v command_v we_o to_o do_v and_o no_o otherwise_o the_o question_n than_o be_v where_o the_o institution_n for_o the_o baptise_v of_o infant_n be_v if_o they_o say_v that_o to_o abraham_n i_o answer_v that_o be_v to_o circumcise_v not_o to_o baptize_v that_o all_o his_o male_n not_o his_o female_n that_o all_o bear_v in_o his_o house_n or_o buy_v with_o money_n at_o eight_o day_n old_a if_o they_o ground_n it_o from_o this_o institution_n then_o must_v they_o observe_v it_o in_o every_o thing_n for_o so_o do_v abraham_n who_o have_v sin_v in_o do_v otherwise_o in_o any_o thing_n but_o here_o say_v they_o we_o have_v another_o institution_n to_o baptise_v all_o nation_n mat._n 28._o 19_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v then_o ought_v they_o to_o observe_v that_o institution_n which_o be_v first_o to_o make_v disciple_n and_o then_o to_o baptise_v they_o so_o make_v for_o so_o be_v the_o institution_n and_o no_o otherwise_o but_o here_o they_o say_v it_o be_v not_o any_o where_o forbid_v to_o baptise_v infant_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v as_o much_o forbid_v as_o it_o be_v forbid_v abraham_n to_o circumcise_v his_o female_n for_o it_o be_v not_o say_v to_o he_o thou_o shall_v not_o circumcise_v thy_o female_n nor_o thou_o shall_v not_o circumcise_v any_o other_o save_o such_o and_o such_o nor_o only_o these_o and_o these_o and_o whosoever_o therefore_o be_v not_o include_v in_o the_o institution_n be_v exclude_v for_o else_o may_v abraham_n lawful_o have_v circumcise_v also_o all_o the_o male_n of_o his_o beast_n as_o his_o camel_n and_o ass_n for_o this_o be_v not_o otherwise_o forbid_v he_o they_o further_o say_v that_o infant_n now_o be_v as_o capable_a of_o baptism_n with_o all_o its_o signification_n as_o infant_n than_o be_v of_o circumcision_n they_o see_v no_o reason_n but_o they_o may_v as_o well_o be_v baptise_a as_o the_o other_o be_v circumcise_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v if_o they_o mean_v by_o capable_a faith_n and_o repentance_n which_o be_v require_v of_o every_o meet_a subject_n as_o before_o be_v show_v in_o this_o sense_n they_o be_v not_o capable_a but_o if_o they_o mean_v although_o they_o be_v infant_n yet_o they_o may_v be_v baptize_v in_o water_n and_o be_v as_o capable_a to_o endure_v it_o as_o infant_n than_o be_v to_o be_v circumcise_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o so_o be_v all_o infant_n in_o the_o world_n capable_a of_o baptism_n and_o so_o all_o infant_n from_o adam_n to_o abraham_n be_v capable_a of_o circumcision_n i_o demand_v of_o they_o why_o these_o be_v not_o circumcise_v they_o will_v say_v because_o circumcision_n be_v not_o then_o command_v but_o as_o soon_o as_o it_o be_v command_v it_o be_v do_v then_o must_v we_o baptize_v infant_n when_o we_o be_v command_v to_o do_v it_o and_o not_o before_o notwithstanding_o their_o be_v thus_o capable_a thereof_o with_o all_o its_o significationss_n object_n god_n give_v to_o infant_n circumcision_n which_o be_v a_o sign_n and_o seal_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n and_o regeneration_n gen._n 17_o 11._o rom._n 4._o 11._o and_o we_o know_v god_n give_v no_o lie_a sign_n nor_o seal_v a_o covenant_n to_o any_o person_n that_o be_v not_o therein_o therefore_o infant_n be_v in_o the_o covenant_n have_v faith_n and_o regeneration_n and_o so_o ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v now_o as_o well_o as_o circumcise_v then_o answ_n it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n give_v no_o lie_a sign_n nor_o seal_v to_o any_o person_n that_o they_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n when_o they_o be_v not_o therein_o and_o therefore_o see_v that_o ishmael_n be_v circumcise_a after_o that_o god_n have_v declare_v and_o make_v it_o know_v that_o he_o be_v not_o in_o the_o covenant_n gen_n 17._o 18._o 19_o 20_o 21._o it_o must_v thence_o follow_v that_o circumcision_n be_v not_o by_o god_n ordain_v nor_o by_o abraham_n understand_v to_o be_v to_o the_o person_n circumcise_v a_o seal_n of_o their_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n and_o much_o less_o of_o their_o be_v in_o the_o faith_n or_o regenerate_v wherefore_o gen._n 17._o 11._o rom._n 4._o 11._o which_o this_o objection_n be_v ground_v upon_o of_o necessity_n must_v be_v understand_v as_o the_o apostle_n there_o appli_v it_o to_o wit_n that_o the_o circumcision_n which_o abraham_n receive_v both_o upon_o himself_o and_o seed_n be_v to_o he_o and_o they_o a_o sign_n and_o seal_n that_o righteousness_n shall_v be_v not_o by_o the_o law_n or_o circumcision_n in_o the_o flesh_n but_o by_o the_o faith_n which_o abraham_n have_v when_o he_o be_v yet_o uncircumcised_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o father_n of_o all_o those_o of_o many_o nation_n which_o shall_v afterward_o believe_v and_o that_o as_o faith_n be_v impute_v unto_o he_o for_o righteousness_n even_o so_o likewise_o it_o shall_v be_v impute_v to_o all_o believer_n whatsoever_o whether_o they_o be_v circumcise_a or_o not_o and_o that_o all_o these_o be_v and_o be_v to_o be_v the_o only_a heir_n and_o true_a feed_n to_o who_o the_o everlasting_a covenant_n and_o promise_n of_o life_n be_v assure_o make_v and_o do_v proper_o and_o undoubted_o appertain_v ver_fw-la 3._o 11_o 12_o 13_o 14._o 16_o 17._o 18._o 22_o 23_o
