A91973	Pædo-baptisme: or, the baptizing of infants justified: by the judgement and practice of ancient and moderne Protestant divines, both foraine, and of this nation: clearly proving the absolute necessity of baptizing infants, from the authority of sacred scripture and the force of undeniable reason. Together with an excellent letter of Mr. John Philpots to the same purpose. / Collected by Robert Ram, minister of Spalding in Lincolnshire. Published by authority.

to_o the_o shadow_n and_o figure_n of_o the_o old_a testamont_n therefore_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o they_o do_v attemperate_a baptism_n according_a to_o circumcision_n and_o baptize_v child_n
