part_n of_o the_o analogy_n which_o we_o touch_v upon_o be_v make_v good_a as_o for_o our_o inference_n that_o baptism_n be_v a_o initiate_a sign_n of_o the_o same_o covenant_n in_o which_o circumcision_n initiate_v therefore_o as_o circumcision_n be_v administer_v to_o infant_n in_o their_o solemn_a admission_n to_o the_o covenant_n under_o the_o law_n so_o baptism_n ought_v to_o be_v administer_v to_o infant_n in_o their_o solemn_a admission_n to_o the_o same_o covenant_n under_o the_o gospel_n the_o main_a thing_n object_v against_o this_o conclusion_n be_v two_o first_o that_o

have_v demonstrate_v from_o divers_a clear_a scripture_n its_o falsehood_n their_o other_o exception_n be_v person_n there_o need_v not_o a_o particular_a command_n for_o the_o application_n of_o a_o

purpose_n it_o must_v hold_v also_o in_o this_o that_o as_o circumcision_n have_v a_o express_a command_n for_o its_o application_n to_o infant_n so_o must_v baptism_n we_o answer_v that_o this_o exception_n be_v the_o very_a point_n in_o question_n which_o this_o whole_a argument_n and_o the_o former_a and_o all_o that_o follow_v intend_v to_o prove_v that_o for_o the_o application_n of_o baptism_n to_o infant_n there_o be_v so_o much_o of_o a_o divine_a commandment_n as_o be_v requisite_a in_o such_o a_o case_n that_o express_a command_n be_v not_o require_v for_o the_o application_n of_o ordinance_n to_o the_o diverse_a age_n sex_n and_o condition_n of_o subject_n be_v clear_a in_o a_o number_n of_o instance_n who_o ever_o do_v require_v a_o particular_a command_n or_o express_v institution_n for_o admit_v of_o woman_n to_o the_o lord_n supper_n for_o the_o baptism_n of_o old_a man_n the_o baptism_n of_o king_n of_o queen_n of_o merchant_n and_o so_o forth_o if_o the_o premise_n therefore_o be_v grant_v as_o we_o have_v prove_v they_o from_o scripture_n that_o infant_n be_v in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n that_o circumcision_n be_v and_o baptism_n be_v a_o sacramental_a seal_n initiate_a and_o solemn_o bring_v into_o this_o covenant_n all_o who_o be_v admit_v thereto_o and_o that_o circumcision_n do_v initiate_v infant_n therein_o it_o will_v not_o in_o reason_n be_v avoid_v but_o baptism_n must_v still_o do_v the_o same_o and_o that_o to_o deny_v baptism_n the_o initiate_a seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n to_o infant_n be_v nothing_o else_o
