firmin_n argue_v thus_o they_o who_o be_v regenerate_v have_v faith_n and_o repentance_n but_o all_o infant_n save_v be_v regenerate_v therefore_o all_o infant_n save_v have_v faith_n and_o repentance_n answ_n 1._o here_o be_v a_o fault_n in_o your_o logic_n yourself_o your_o major_n shall_v have_v be_v universal_a or_o else_o you_o conclude_v nothing_o rational_o 2._o therefore_o i_o deny_v the_o major_n and_o say_v some_o may_v be_v regenerate_v i_o mean_v cleanse_v from_o sin_n renew_v by_o christ_n and_o make_v fit_a for_o heaven_n without_o faith_n and_o repenuance_n namely_o infant_n and_o sure_o i_o be_o mr._n f._n shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o prove_v his_o major_n be_v take_v universal_o and_o if_o he_o like_v not_o to_o mend_v his_o major_n i_o reject_v his_o argument_n and_o retort_v it_o thus_o 3._o they_o that_o be_v regenerate_v do_v continue_v in_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n and_o fellowship_n and_o in_o break_v of_o bread_n and_o in_o prayer_n but_o all_o infant_n save_v be_v regenerate_v ergo_fw-la all_o infant_n save_v continue_v steadfast_o in_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n and_o fellowship_n and_o in_o break_v of_o bread_n and_o in_o prayer_n now_o as_o this_o argument_n be_v fallacious_a so_o certain_o be_v you_o again_o 4._o you_o that_o make_v all_o conversion_n miraculous_a how_o can_v you_o tie_v regeneration_n to_o faith_n and_o repentance_n as_o it_o respect_v infant_n do_v not_o you_o contradict_v yourself_o mr._n firmin_n in_o this_o may_v not_o god_n sanctify_v infant_n what_o way_n he_o please_v but_o must_v be_v limit_v to_o your_o method_n sir_n what_o he_o do_v in_o the_o regeneration_n of_o infant_n be_v a_o secret_a let_v it_o alone_o to_o he_o 5._o but_o let_v we_o hear_v dr._n taylor_n one_o of_o your_o own_o mind_n as_o to_o poedo-baptism_n yet_o he_o say_v let_v infant_n be_v press_v with_o all_o the_o inconvenience_n which_o be_v consequent_a to_o original_a sin_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o be_v lay_v to_o their_o charge_n so_o as_o to_o condemn_v they_o or_o if_o it_o can_v yet_o the_o mercy_n and_o absolute_a goodness_n of_o god_n will_v secure_v they_o if_o he_o take_v they_o away_o before_o they_o can_v glorify_v he_o by_o a_o free_a obedience_n for_o as_o infant_n without_o their_o own_o consent_n contract_v the_o gild_n of_o adam_n adam_n s_o sin_n and_o be_v liable_a to_o all_o the_o punishment_n which_o can_v with_o justice_n descend_v upon_o his_o posterity_n who_o be_v personal_o innocent_a so_o infant_n shall_v be_v restore_v by_o the_o second_o adam_n by_o the_o redemption_n of_o jesus_n christ_n by_o his_o righteousness_n and_o mercy_n apply_v either_o immediate_o or_o how_o or_o when_o he_o please_v to_o appoint_v and_o here_o mr._n f._n may_v learn_v from_o dr._n taylor_n how_o infant_n may_v be_v guilty_a of_o sin_n and_o yet_o innocent_a which_o he_o will_v make_v a_o contradiction_n in_o i_o mr._n f._n tell_v we_o his_o major_n last_o deny_v be_v clear_a from_o our_o own_o confession_n in_o that_o we_o say_v faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v the_o two_o part_n of_o regeneration_n but_o he_o that_o grant_v this_o extend_v it_o only_o to_o the_o adult_n of_o who_o these_o be_v thing_n require_v and_o not_o to_o infant_n of_o who_o they_o be_v not_o require_v so_o that_o this_o be_v a_o mere_a caption_n unbecoming_a a_o grave_a disputant_n but_o let_v we_o hear_v how_o he_o prove_v his_o minor._n they_o say_v he_o who_o be_v bear_v unclean_a that_o be_v sinful_a and_o corrupt_a by_o nature_n must_v be_v regenerate_v before_o they_o can_v be_v save_v but_o so_o be_v infant_n bear_v therefore_o etc._n etc._n answ_n it_o be_v not_o deny_v by_o we_o that_o infant_n be_v bear_v unclean_a and_o we_o grant_v that_o before_o they_o come_v to_o heaven_n they_o must_v be_v cleanse_v so_o that_o you_o may_v have_v spare_v this_o argument_n the_o thing_n you_o be_v to_o prove_v be_v that_o infant_n can_v be_v cleanse_v without_o faith_n and_o repentance_n but_o this_o you_o cunning_o slide_v over_o and_o you_o will_v find_v it_o to_o be_v a_o undertake_n too_o hard_o for_o you_o and_o i_o think_v you_o be_v the_o first_o man_n that_o ever_o attempt_v it_o it_o be_v not_o your_o tell_v we_o again_o of_o your_o seminal_a faith_n that_o will_v do_v it_o which_o as_o you_o refer_v it_o to_o infant_n be_v a_o mere_a chimaera_n of_o your_o own_o brain_n but_o when_o you_o speak_v of_o the_o adult_n you_o seem_v to_o speak_v sense_n in_o these_o word_n when_o god_n regenerate_v a_o adult_n person_n he_o do_v first_o infuse_v the_o

he_o do_v sow_v which_o be_v first_o receive_v and_o these_o seed_n grow_v up_o mark_v 4._o 27._o now_o sir_n if_o you_o will_v stand_v to_o this_o and_o these_o text_n to_o govern_v your_o speech_n we_o may_v very_o well_o come_v to_o agree_v what_o then_o be_v the_o seed_n here_o speak_v of_o our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o man_n hear_v preach_v unto_o
