sprinkle_v infant_n nay_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n will_v by_o this_o argument_n stand_v on_o equal_a term_n with_o you_o for_o many_o of_o her_o ceremony_n which_o you_o disallow_v for_o admit_v one_o error_n and_o a_o thousand_o will_v follow_v thus_o by_o your_o argument_n man_n may_v run_v they_o know_v not_o whither_o and_o return_v they_o know_v not_o when_o i_o now_o come_v to_o your_o two_o main_a argument_n for_o this_o you_o seem_v not_o much_o to_o rest_v upon_o but_o you_o use_v it_o ad_fw-la hominem_fw-la mr._n petto_n first_o argument_n for_o infant-discipleship_a some_o infant_n be_v so_o disciple_v as_o to_o have_v the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a spirit_n upon_o they_o therefore_o by_o the_o will_n of_o christ_n they_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v answer_n this_o argument_n suppose_v that_o some_o infant_n have_v the_o name_n of_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n upon_o they_o before_o they_o be_v baptize_v this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o new_a piece_n of_o doctrine_n in_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o must_v needs_o inquire_v what_o infant_n these_o be_v how_o mr._n petto_n know_v they_o from_o other_o and_o at_o what_o time_n before_o their_o baptism_n and_o also_o by_o who_o this_o name_n be_v put_v upon_o they_o and_o in_o what_o manner_n it_o be_v do_v for_o all_o these_o thing_n he_o ought_v to_o know_v before_o according_a to_o his_o own_o logic_n he_o may_v baptise_v they_o till_o he_o do_v this_o and_o he_o must_v do_v it_o well_o too_o i_o deny_v his_o antecedent_n say_v also_o that_o no_o infant_n be_v disciple_v at_o all_o much_o less_o so_o as_o to_o have_v the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a spirit_n upon_o they_o my_o reason_n be_v such_o as_o these_o 1._o god_n have_v not_o make_v this_o distinction_n in_o gospel-time_n between_o some_o infant_n and_o other_o some_o so_o as_o to_o disciple_v some_o of_o they_o by_o put_v the_o name_n of_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a spirit_n upon_o they_o he_o have_v take_v down_o the_o wall_n of_o distinction_n between_o jew_n and_o gentile_n account_v the_o one_o as_o clean_o as_o the_o other_o act._n 10._o 28._o and_o have_v give_v the_o

person_n before_o they_o be_v baptize_v 2._o no_o man_n have_v authority_n by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o make_v infant_n disciple_n at_o all_o much_o less_o by_o put_v the_o name_n of_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a spirit_n upon_o they_o before_o baptism_n but_o the_o only_a way_n assign_v by_o god_n to_o make_v disciple_n be_v first_o by_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o they_o mark_v 16._o
