A28379	An essay tending to issue the controversie about infant baptism from the parity, at least, of Scripture-light concerning infant-baptim [sic] with that of women's being admitted to the Lord's Supper, shewing that there is as good grounds out of Scripture for the one as for the other : occasioned by a tender made by H.D. in his late book against infant-baptism who is willing to put the whole controversie concerning it, upon this issue : together with an answer to the most material things in that book /	Eremnalēthēs.	1674 (1674)	Wing B3192; ESTC R25634	100,950	243

can_v wash_v my_o hand_n as_o clean_o that_o way_n as_o you_o can_v wash_v you_o by_o dip_v they_o into_o the_o water_n and_o i_o shall_v not_o count_v she_o a_o slut_n that_o will_v so_o wash_v her_o

must_v not_o only_o dip_v the_o person_n you_o baptise_v but_o you_o must_v rinse_v or_o rub_v he_o too_o to_o signify_v his_o cleanse_n you_o take_v away_o the_o cavil_n of_o unseemliness_n from_o

you_o have_v yet_o hold_v forth_o and_o i_o much_o wonder_v that_o you_o who_o will_v not_o admit_v of_o consequence_n concern_v infants-baptism_n which_o be_v far_o more_o rational_a and_o certain_a
