of_o it_o you_o say_v you_o have_v show_v already_o that_o there_o be_v many_o example_n in_o the_o scripture_n for_o infant_n baptism_n which_o be_v plain_a unto_o they_o that_o understand_v the_o

example_n from_o whether_o your_o consequence_n be_v clear_a and_o plain_a or_o not_o obj._n the_o scripture_n call_v upon_o some_o to_o believe_v before_o they_o be_v baptize_v he_o that_o believe_v

second_o objection_n mr._n owen_n bring_v against_o what_o he_o have_v write_v take_v his_o answer_n viz._n say_v he_o when_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v 1._o it_o mention_v adult_a person_n viz._n the_o unbelieving_a gentile_n unto_o who_o christ_n send_v his_o disciple_n mark_v 16._o 15._o mat._n 28._o 19_o and_o not_o the_o child_n of_o the_o faithful_a christ_n send_v they_o into_o all_o the_o world_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n into_o pagan_a nation_n and_o say_v he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptise_a shall_v be_v save_v mark_v 16._o 15_o 16._o show_n that_o neither_o baptism_n nor_o salvation_n belong_v unto_o they_o until_o they_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n if_o we_o be_v to_o preach_v unto_o such_o we_o shall_v baptize_v none_o until_o they_o will_v believe_v but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o faithful_a of_o who_o christ_n mention_v not_o 1._o answ_n i_o answer_v reader_n observe_v that_o here_o mr._n omen_n have_v give_v away_o his_o cause_n for_o ever_o for_o he_o say_v christ_n speak_v not_o of_o the_o child_n of_o the_o faithful_a but_o of_o the_o adult_n now_o consider_v that_o these_o two_o text_n which_o he_o here_o quote_v viz._n mat._n 28._o 19_o 20._o mark_v 16._o 15_o 16._o do_v contain_v the_o great_a and_o only_a commission_n and_o warranty_n give_v by_o the_o lord_n jesus_n the_o only_a lawgiver_n about_o baptise_v and_o if_o infant_n be_v not_o mention_v nor_o intend_v here_o there_o be_v no_o warrant_n at_o all_o to_o baptise_v they_o for_o if_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o great_a commission_n all_o person_n must_v first_o believe_v before_o they_o be_v baptize_v farewell_n for_o ever_o to_o infant_n baptism_n 2._o the_o objection_n well_o say_v that_o according_a to_o this_o rule_n or_o commission_n the_o apostle_n do_v not_o baptize_v any_o until_o they_o believe_v which_o be_v true_a and_o he_o can_v refute_v it_o 3._o consider_v that_o the_o commission_n mat._n 28._o 19_o 20._o mark_v 16._o 15_o 16._o do_v not_o only_o authorise_v the_o apostle_n to_o go_v and_o make_v disciple_n among_o the_o gentile_a or_o pagan_a world_n but_o also_o among_o the_o jew_n that_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n nay_o they_o be_v command_v first_o to_o begin_v or_o open_v their_o commission_n to_o preach_v to_o they_o at_o jerusalem_n moreover_o the_o word_n of_o this_o commission_n be_v all_o the_o commission_n and_o warrant_n the_o disciple_n and_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v to_o administer_v baptism_n to_o all_o the_o christian_a nation_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n there_o be_v not_o two_o commission_n give_v by_o christ_n about_o baptise_v one_o to_o go_v to_o the_o pagan_a or_o gentile_a world_n and_o another_o to_o be_v believe_v christian_a world_n or_o to_o believer_n and_o their_o seed_n now_o there_o be_v but_o one_o commission_n and_o only_a rule_n we_o have_v to_o baptize_v therefore_o mr._n baxter_n say_v well_o i._n e._n christ_n in_o his_o commission_n direct_v his_o apostle_n to_o make_v disciple_n and_o then_o baptize_v they_o promise_v that_o he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptise_a shall_v be_v save_v baxt._n confirm_v p._n 27._o and_o in_o another_o place_n he_o say_v speak_v of_o this_o only_a warrant_n or_o commission_n of_o baptise_v if_o we_o have_v it_o not_o here_o where_o have_v we_o it_o shall_v any_o one_o think_v christ_n commission_n short_a and_o defective_a 4._o mr._n owen_n say_v if_o we_o be_v to_o preach_v unto_o such_o that_o be_v to_o unbeliever_n or_o heathen_n we_o shall_v baptize_v none_o until_o they_o believe_v now_o pray_v consider_v that_o this_o be_v his_o commission_n to_o baptize_v if_o he_o be_v a_o true_a minister_n of_o christ_n let_v he_o preach_v to_o who_o he_o will_v or_o come_v where_o he_o will_v he_o must_v do_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o this_o commission_n as_o it_o be_v here_o give_v neither_o baptize_v young_a nor_o old_a neither_o jew_n nor_o gentile_a parent_n nor_o child_n until_o they_o believe_v or_o profess_v their_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n if_o he_o do_v he_o violate_v and_o act_n direct_o contrary_a to_o his_o only_a commission_n and_o therefore_o if_o he_o do_v he_o sin_n shall_v any_o commissioner_n of_o a_o earthly_a king_n act_n contrary_a to_o the_o very_a express_a word_n and_o purport_v of_o his_o commission_n he_o certain_o will_v be_v condemn_v as_o a_o false_a and_o unfaithful_a servant_n and_o be_v turn_v out_o of_o his_o master_n service_n mr._n owen_n say_v that_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o faithful_a christ_n mention_v not_o that_o be_v in_o his_o great_a commission_n mat._n 28._o 19_o 20._o mark_v 16._o 15_o 16._o therefore_o such_o he_o must_v not_o baptise_v unless_o he_o have_v from_o christ_n receive_v a_o new_a or_o any_o other_o commission_n that_o do_v authorise_v he_o so_o to_o do_v 5._o and_o observable_a it_o be_v to_o see_v how_o mr._n owen_n contradict_v himself_o here_o in_o respect_n of_o what_o he_o say_v before_o when_o he_o mention_v the_o same_o text_n and_o commission_n of_o christ_n he_o tell_v we_o that_o child_n be_v part_n of_o the_o nation_n that_o christ_n command_v to_o be_v baptise_a but_o now_o he_o say_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o faithful_a christ_n mention_v not_o and_o besure_n now_o at_o this_o turn_n he_o speak_v the_o truth_n and_o if_o none_o of_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o faithful_a aught_o to_o be_v baptise_a by_o virtue_n of_o christ_n commission_n but_o such_o only_a of_o they_o that_o do_v believe_v than_o no_o infant_n for_o teach_v be_v make_v of_o disciple_n so_o that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v teach_v so_o as_o to_o believe_v before_o they_o be_v to_o be_v baptise_a and_o that_o in_o all_o nation_n whether_o heathen_n or_o christian_n and_o that_o also_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n teach_v they_o to_o observe_v all_o thing_n whatsoever_o i_o have_v command_v you_o and_o lo_o i_o be_o with_o you_o all_o way_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o word_n mat._n 28._o 20._o it_o be_v certain_a say_v mr._n owen_n that_o this_o scripture_n mention_v not_o of_o child_n if_o it_o do_v they_o must_v needs_o be_v damn_v for_o want_v of_o faith_n

cause_n against_o you_o here_o too_o i._n e._n for_o the_o first_o century_n we_o will_v examine_v your_o author_n and_o humane_a testimony_n the_o first_o be_v calvin_n a_o latter_a writer_n i_o

to_o infant_n baptism_n the_o scope_n of_o ireneas_n in_o that_o chapter_n be_v to_o refute_v the_o gnostic_n who_o say_v that_o christ_n do_v not_o exceed_v one_o and_o thirty_o year_n of_o age_n against_o who_o ireneus_fw-la allege_v that_o christ_n live_v in_o every_o age_n i._n e._n of_o infancy_n youth_n and_o old_a age_n that_o by_o his_o age_n and_o example_n he_o may_v sanctify_v
