A91363	A little cabinet richly stored with all sorts of heavenly varieties, and soul-reviving influences. Wherein there is a remedy for every malady, viz. milk for babes, and meat for strong men, and the ready way for both to obtain and retain assurance of salvation: being an abridgement of the sum and substance of the true Christian religion; wherein the cause of our salvation, the way, the guide, the rule, the evidence, the seals, &c. and the connection of these points together, and dependancy of them one upon another: this I have endeavoured to do orderly, exactly, methodically, with much plainness and clearness. / By Robert Purnell.

shall_v lay_v down_o a_o few_o reason_n why_o child_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v baptize_v 1._o because_o we_o find_v no_o command_n nor_o example_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o any_o infant_n be_v baptize_v and_o we_o be_v forbid_v to_o presume_v above_o what_o be_v write_v and_o further_o if_o we_o shall_v admit_v of_o any_o one_o thing_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n which_o we_o find_v no_o warrant_n for_o in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v be_v force_v by_o the_o same_o reason_n to_o admit_v of_o many_o yea_o of_o any_o invention_n of_o man_n 2._o as_o a_o infant_n be_v uncapable_a of_o examine_v himself_o and_o of_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n and_o therefore_o not_o admit_v to_o that_o ordinance_n so_o also_o he_o be_v uncapable_a of_o believe_v and_o discern_v the_o use_n and_o end_n of_o this_o ordinance_n for_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n about_o which_o faith_n be_v to_o be_v exercise_v by_o he_o that_o be_v baptize_v i_o will_v instance_n in_o
