believer_n before_o baptism_n dr._n russel_n this_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n but_o to_o spin_v out_o time_n mr._n chandler_n or_o mr._n leigh_n shall_v have_v answer_v to_o my_o argument_n which_o neither_o of_o they_o have_v do_v for_o if_o infant_n be_v disciple_n simple_o as_o be_v child_n of_o believe_a parent_n before_o baptism_n as_o mr._n leigh_n say_v than_o it_o be_v do_v without_o any_o ministetial_a instruction_n and_o therefore_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o answer_n to_o my_o argument_n that_o it_o be_v a_o mere_a evasion_n i_o therefore_o argue_v thus_o upon_o they_o if_o infant_n be_v not_o the_o subject_n of_o teach_v according_a to_o christ_n commission_n than_o they_o be_v not_o the_o subject_n of_o baptism_n by_o that_o commission_n but_o infant_n be_v not_o the_o subject_n of_o teach_v according_a to_o christ_n commission_n ergo_fw-la they_o be_v not_o the_o subject_n of_o baptism_n by_o that_o commission_n for_o what_o our_o lord_n have_v join_v together_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o separate_v but_o our_o lord_n have_v join_v teach_v and_o baptise_v together_o therefore_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o separate_v and_o it_o be_v further_a manifest_a that_o our_o lord_n do_v not_o command_v his_o father_n to_o make_v disciple_n by_o some_o secret_a work_n of_o he_o but_o he_o command_v his_o apostle_n that_o be_v man_n to_o make_v disciple_n by_o their_o ministry_n and_o that_o be_v the_o point_n you_o be_v to_o answer_v to_o mr._n robinson_n he_o deny_v they_o be_v uncapable_a to_o be_v make_v disciple_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o men._n dr._n russel_n then_o by_o the_o way_n take_v notice_n that_o he_o grant_v my_o major_n to_o be_v true_a that_o unless_o they_o be_v capable_a to_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o ministry_n of_o man_n they_o can_v be_v the_o subject_n of_o baptism_n i_o shall_v therefore_o proceed_v to_o the_o proof_n of_o my_o minor_n if_o infant_n have_v no_o knowledge_n to_o discern_v between_o good_a and_o evil_a than_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a to_o be_v make_v disciple_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o men._n but_o infant_n have_v no_o knowledge_n to_o discern_v between_o good_a and_o evil_a ergo_fw-la they_o

evident_a from_o what_o i_o have_v say_v that_o those_o that_o be_v true_o baptise_a according_o to_o christ_n commission_n which_o be_v the_o thing_n we_o be_v upon_o must_v first_o be_v make_v

thus_o to_o be_v make_v disciple_n they_o can_v be_v the_o subject_n of_o baptism_n intend_v in_o that_o commission_n than_o you_o grant_v the_o consequence_n of_o the_o major_a and_o by_o deny_v my_o

to_o give_v a_o direct_a answer_n to_o my_o argument_n mr._n chandler_n i_o deny_v the_o consequence_n of_o your_o major_n dr._n russel_n by_o so_o do_v you_o say_v though_o they_o have_v no_o

leigh_n you_o will_v not_o allow_v of_o complete_a and_o incomplete_a disciple_n dr._n russel_n what_o be_v this_o to_o my_o argument_n pray_v let_v mr._n chandler_n six_o on_o something_o mr._n chandler_n i_o say_v if_o you_o mean_v incomplete_a disciple_n i_o deny_v that_o they_o be_v uncapable_a to_o be_v such_o dr._n russel_n how_o often_o must_v we_o have_v this_o distinction_n repeat_v to_o keep_v we_o from_o the_o point_n in_o hand_n we_o be_v now_o upon_o this_o whether_o infant_n have_v knowledge_n to_o discern_v between_o good_a and_o evil_a which_o be_v the_o medium_n i_o bring_v to_o prove_v the_o other_o by_o why_o do_v you_o not_o answer_v to_o that_o mr._n chandler_n they_o have_v no_o knowledge_n yet_o be_v capable_a of_o be_v incomplete_a disciple_n dr._n russel_n if_o by_o complete_a you_o mean_v perfect_o so_o i_o know_v not_o of_o any_o such_o christian_n in_o the_o world_n but_o i_o hope_v this_o do_v not_o hinder_v but_o there_o may_v be_v real_a and_o actual_a disciple_n of_o christ_n make_v so_o by_o the_o ministry_n of_o man_n and_o fit_v for_o holy_a baptism_n but_o i_o proceed_v to_o the_o proof_n of_o my_o minor_n if_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o ministration_n of_o it_o be_v appoint_v to_o inform_v man_n what_o be_v good_a and_o what_o be_v evil_a and_o infant_n have_v no_o knowledge_n to_o discern_v betwixt_o good_a and_o evil_a as_o mr._n chandler_n have_v be_v force_v to_o confess_v than_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a to_o be_v make_v disciple_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o man_n but_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o ministration_n of_o it_o be_v appoint_v to_o inform_v man_n what_o be_v good_a and_o what_o be_v evil_a and_o infant_n have_v no_o knowledge_n to_o discern_v betwixt_o good_a and_o evil_a as_o mr._n chandler_n have_v be_v force_v to_o confess_v therefore_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a to_o be_v make_v disciple_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o men._n mr._n robinson_n when_o mr._n chandler_n have_v distinguish_v you_o most_o put_v it_o into_o a_o syllogism_n else_o you_o will_v still_o confound_v it_o dr._n russel_n answer_v have_v i_o not_o put_v it_o into_o a_o argument_n and_o you_o will_v not_o suffer_v
