A77497	The doctrine and practice of paedobaptisme, asserted and vindicated. By a large and full improovement of some principall arguments for it, and a briefe resolution of such materiall objections as are made against it. Whereunto is annexed a briefe and plaine Enarration, both doctrinall and practicall, upon Mark 10.V.13.14.15.16. As it was some time since preached in the church of Great Yarmouth: now published for an antidote against those yet spreading errours of the times, Anabaptisme and Catabaptisme. / By Joh. Brinsley.

a_o everlasting_a covenant_n and_o for_o substance_n the_o very_a same_o with_o that_o which_o believer_n be_v now_o under_o viz._n the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n promise_v life_n and_o salvation_n upon_o the_o condition_n of_o believe_v so_o much_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o express_o gal._n 3._o v._n 8._o the_o scripture_n i._n e._n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n speak_v in_o scripture_n foresee_v

of_o the_o exhibit_v and_o send_v of_o christ_n into_o the_o world_n he_o call_v it_o a_o holy_a covenant_n the_o oath_n which_o god_n swear_v unto_o our_o father_n abraham_n the_o covenant_n make_v with_o abraham_n then_o be_v no_o other_o but_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n even_o the_o same_o covenant_n that_o we_o be_v now_o under_o all_o the_o difference_n be_v the_o covenant_n now_o be_v

and_o the_o same_o and_o be_v so_o to_o close_o up_o this_o second_o argument_n that_o covenant_n be_v a_o everlasting_a covenant_n i_o will_v make_v 40._o a_o everlasting_a covenant_n with_o they_o
