palpable_o false_a for_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v express_o order_v her_o minister_n as_o be_v plain_a in_o the_o form_n of_o private_a baptism_n to_o baptize_v child_n without_o godfather_n and_o godmother_n or_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n where_o there_o be_v any_o apparent_a danger_n of_o death_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v the_o parent_n fault_n how_o scrupulous_a soever_o he_o be_v not_o the_o minister_n if_o his_o child_n die_v unbaptise_v i_o know_v not_o what_o remark_n to_o make_v on_o this_o but_o shall_v leave_v it_o to_o himself_o and_o every_o impartial_a reader_n to_o think_v on_o it_o but_o yet_o i_o must_v far_o observe_v that_o to_o assert_v the_o salvation_n of_o baptize_v infant_n do_v not_o deny_v salvation_n to_o all_o that_o be_v unbaptise_v though_o we_o be_v not_o so_o certain_a from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n of_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o one_o as_o of_o the_o other_o the_o salvation_n of_o baptize_v infant_n depend_v on_o a_o express_a covenant_n but_o we_o have_v the_o goodness_n and_o clemency_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n as_o a_o reason_n to_o hope_v well_o of_o other_o especial_o of_o the_o child_n of_o christian_a parent_n who_o be_v bear_v within_o the_o pale_a of_o the_o church_n and_o be_v design_v by_o their_o parent_n to_o be_v make_v the_o visible_a member_n of_o it_o nor_o be_v the_o denial_n of_o christian_a burial_n to_o such_o infant_n as_o die_v unbaptise_v any_o argument_n as_o he_o suggest_v that_o our_o church_n doubt_v of_o their_o salvation_n but_o only_o that_o she_o do_v not_o own_v they_o as_o actual_a member_n of_o the_o church_n as_o no_o person_n be_v who_o be_v not_o actual_o admit_v into_o the_o christian_a church_n by_o baptism_n and_o possible_o this_o may_v be_v design_v as_o a_o act_n of_o discipline_n to_o correct_v the_o neglect_n of_o parent_n and_o to_o beget_v in_o they_o a_o great_a veneration_n for_o the_o christian_a sacrament_n his_o

we_o declare_v our_o hope_n of_o our_o church_n think_v it_o fit_a on_o such_o a_o sad_a occasion_n as_o this_o to_o declare_v their_o hope_n of_o a_o future_a resurrection_n and_o since_o god_n take_v his_o soul_n to_o himself_o do_v not_o necessary_o infer_v the_o salvation_n of_o such_o a_o person_n as_o i_o have_v already_o show_v we_o can_v thence_o infer_v that_o the_o resurrection_n to_o life_n refer_v to_o the_o inter_a person_n neither_o but_o he_o have_v find_v one_o passage_n which_o he_o say_v put_v it_o out_o of_o all_o doubt_n that_o when_o we_o bury_v a_o know_a adulterer_n fornicator_n drunkard_n we_o declare_v and_o avouch_v that_o his_o soul_n be_v assure_o go_v to_o heaven_n viz._n that_o in_o the_o prayer_n after_o burial_n that_o when_o we_o shall_v depart_v this_o life_n we_o may_v rest_v in_o he_o viz._n in_o christ_n as_o our_o hope_n be_v this_o our_o brother_n do_v this_o i_o grant_v refer_v to_o the_o inter_a person_n but_o be_v no_o argument_n that_o the_o former_a expression_n do_v for_o this_o be_v only_o a_o judgement_n of_o charity_n which_o differ_v much_o from_o a_o sure_a and_o certain_a hope_n there_o be_v various_a degree_n of_o hope_n and_o some_o of_o they_o so_o little_a that_o we_o can_v hardly_o deny_v they_o to_o any_o person_n though_o never_o so_o wicked_a for_o where_o we_o be_v not_o absolute_o sure_a that_o they_o die_v whole_o impenitent_a we_o have_v some_o degree_n of_o hope_n and_o though_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o fear_v this_o of_o too_o too_o many_o yet_o we_o be_v seldom_o so_o certain_a of_o it_o as_o to_o exclude_v all_o hope_n of_o the_o contrary_n but_o as_o a_o full_a justification_n of_o our_o church_n in_o this_o matter_n we_o may_v consider_v that_o this_o office_n of_o burial_n suppose_v that_o the_o person_n inter_v die_v in_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n and_o be_v church-censure_n due_o administer_v as_o this_o office_n presume_v they_o to_o be_v and_o as_o certain_o they_o will_v be_v be_v not_o the_o church_n weaken_v by_o powerful_a schism_n and_o faction_n no_o man_n can_v die_v in_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n but_o such_o as_o we_o shall_v have_v very_o good_a reason_n in_o the_o judgement_n of_o charity_n to_o hope_v well_o of_o and_o since_o through_o the_o decay_n of_o discipline_n many_o die_n in_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n who_o deserve_v excommunication_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o whoever_o shall_v leave_v out_o that_o sentence_n as_o our_o hope_n be_v this_o our_o brother_n do_v at_o the_o burial_n of_o some_o notorious_a profligate_v sinner_n comply_v with_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o church_n and_o may_v justify_v himself_o to_o his_o superior_n for_o do_v so_o have_v thus_o examine_v and_o as_o i_o think_v answer_v this_o minister_n objection_n against_o conformity_n i_o must_v now_o look_v back_o and_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o only_a piece_n of_o ingenuity_n he_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o throughout_o this_o pamphlet_n and_o that_o be_v where_o he_o own_v the_o lawful_a use_n of_o a_o establish_a liturgy_n or_o prescribe_v form_n of_o public_a prayer_n nay_o that_o as_o he_o say_v nothing_o against_o a_o liturgy_n or_o prescribe_v form_n of_o public_a prayer_n in_o the_o general_n so_o neither_o against_o the_o main_a doctrine_n contain_v in_o the_o prayer_n of_o this_o book_n of_o common-prayer_n in_o particular_a and_o in_o requital_n of_o this_o i_o shall_v as_o ready_o acknowledge_v what_o he_o add_v that_o it_o be_v quite_o another_o thing_n to_o be_v bind_v up_o to_o declare_v my_o unfeigned_a assent_n and_o consent_n to_o all_o and_o every_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o book_n but_o he_o ought_v also_o to_o have_v add_v and_o prescribe_v by_o the_o book_n
