steal_v be_v call_v holy_a 11._o in_o a_o strict_a sense_n sacrilege_n be_v a_o rob_v or_o steal_v thing_n out_o of_o the_o church_n or_o any_o holy_a or_o consecrate_a place_n and_o than_o sacrum_n

12._o yet_o in_o very_o usual_a and_o general_o allow_v speak_v sacrilege_n be_v a_o large_a notion_n and_o intend_v any_o spoil_n or_o alienate_v any_o thing_n devote_v or_o dedicate_v to_o god_n

translation_n of_o the_o psalm_n 1._o as_o to_o your_o exception_n to_o the_o old_a translation_n of_o the_o psalter_n and_o the_o point_v of_o it_o they_o be_v not_o strengthen_v with_o any_o proof_n at_o all_o nor_o so_o much_o as_o a_o instance_n 2._o it_o yet_o lie_v on_o you_o to_o evince_v that_o this_o translation_n be_v corrupt_a as_o you_o have_v assert_v that_o the_o point_v make_v manifest_a nonsense_n which_o indeed_o serve_v not_o the_o sense_n at_o all_o but_o only_o the_o music_n that_o it_o vari_v the_o text_n from_o the_o original_a yea_o from_o truth_n itself_o 3._o i_o confess_v that_o such_o strange_a exception_n have_v be_v throw_v against_o it_o heretofore_o by_o the_o old_a nonconformist_n but_o i_o suppose_v you_o know_v they_o never_o want_v answer_n 4._o you_o add_v the_o corrupt_a translation_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n where_o in_o the_o close_a of_o it_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v put_v for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n 5._o but_o though_o i_o do_v not_o vindicate_v this_o translation_n yet_o i_o can_v but_o observe_v the_o extreme_a emptiness_n of_o this_o objection_n be_v not_o the_o sabbath_n day_n then_o the_o seven_o day_n it_o be_v say_v god_n rest_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o bless_v the_o sabbath_n yea_o be_v not_o the_o seven_o day_n the_o sabbath_n day_n it_o be_v also_o say_v the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n 6._o beside_o the_o septuagint_n the_o arabic_a and_o the_o syriac_a do_v all_o agree_v in_o the_o same_o rendition_n with_o our_o own_o translation_n so_o that_o if_o it_o be_v so_o gross_a a_o error_n as_o you_o pretend_v it_o be_v a_o very_a old_a one_o but_o indeed_o whether_o the_o not_o alter_v of_o the_o word_n be_v a_o overfight_a in_o the_o examiner_n or_o not_o the_o sense_n must_v needs_o be_v yield_v by_o you_o to_o be_v the_o same_o either_o way_n 7._o however_o here_o again_o i_o must_v needs_o remember_v you_o that_o you_o can_v submissive_o bear_v these_o thing_n that_o iâ—_n by_o conform_v to_o use_v they_o as_o minister_n and_o that_o this_o your_o bear_n of_o they_o do_v undeniable_o suppose_v such_o a_o assent_n and_o consent_v unto_o they_o as_o the_o law_n require_v which_o i_o doubt_v not_o to_o evidence_n in_o its_o due_a place_n sect_n 6._o of_o the_o salvation_n of_o infant_n 1._o i_o be_o now_o arrive_v at_o the_o laâ—â—_n of_o your_o exception_n of_o this_o kind_n and_o that_o be_v take_v from_o those_o word_n in_o the_o liturgy_n touch_v the_o salvation_n of_o infant_n it_o be_v certain_a by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o child_n be_v baptize_v die_v before_o they_o commit_v actual_a sin_n be_v undoubted_o save_v 2._o you_o say_v you_o can_v christianly_o believe_v the_o regenerate_a nature_n and_o efficacy_n of_o baptism_n but_o that_o the_o undoubted_a salvation_n of_o all_o baptize_v infant_n die_v before_o they_o commit_v actual_a sin_n be_v certain_a by_o the_o scripture_n you_o say_v you_o can_v sâ—â—_n 3._o but_o true_o my_o brother_n i_o can_v sâ—e_v that_o so_o much_o be_v require_v of_o you_o and_o therefore_o i_o must_v be_v bold_a to_o mind_v you_o that_o the_o universal_a note_n all_o be_v of_o your_o own_o insert_v it_o be_v not_o say_v â—ll_a child_n but_o child_n 4._o it_o be_v a_o indifinite_a proposition_n aâ—_n it_o be_v a_o proposition_n and_o consequent_o neither_o rubric_n for_o direction_n nor_o any_o part_n of_o administration_n it_o be_v not_o of_o a_o practicable_a nature_n and_o i_o humble_o conceive_v it_o will_v appear_v anon_o we_o be_v not_o require_v by_o the_o act_n to_o subscribe_v to_o it_o the_o act_n make_v the_o object_n of_o our_o assent_n and_o consent_n in_o the_o declaration_n to_o the_o use_n of_o the_o thing_n contain_v and_o prescribe_v in_o the_o common-prayer_n 5._o again_o as_o it_o be_v a_o indefinite_a proposition_n i_o conceive_v you_o need_v not_o scruple_n it_o see_v you_o allow_v and_o believe_v with_o a_o christian_a belief_n the_o regenerate_a nature_n use_n and_o efficacy_n of_o baptism_n 6._o for_o upon_o this_o belief_n we_o must_v agree_v thus_o far_o that_o this_o efficacy_n of_o baptism_n have_v its_o effect_n upon_o some_o of_o its_o subject_a and_o if_o this_o belief_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n then_o so_o much_o be_v certain_a from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o some_o child_n be_v regenerate_v 〈◊〉_d put_v in_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n by_o baptism_n and_o therefore_o die_v before_o they_o commit_v actual_a sin_n be_v undoubted_o save_v 7._o but_o you_o reply_v it_o be_v not_o say_v some_o child_n but_o that_o be_v child_n all_o child_n 8._o i_o therefore_o proceed_v upon_o this_o foundation_n to_o inquire_v whether_o the_o proposition_n in_o controversy_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o a_o universal_a sense_n or_o not_o this_o be_v indeed_o the_o question_n yet_o by_o my_o consent_n you_o have_v liberty_n to_o answer_v it_o yourselves_o 9_o for_o first_o if_o this_o proposition_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v universal_o as_o to_o all_o such_o child_n that_o be_v mention_v in_o it_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o must_v be_v necessary_a for_o the_o form_n of_o the_o proposition_n be_v indefinite_a and_o a_o indefinite_a proposition_n be_v not_o equipollent_a with_o a_o universal_a but_o in_o materiâ_fw-la necessariâ_fw-la 10._o you_o have_v yet_o your_o choice_n to_o say_v whether_o the_o matter_n of_o this_o proposition_n be_v necessary_a or_o not_o 11._o if_o you_o say_v the_o matter_n of_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a than_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o proposition_n be_v not_o universal_a and_o the_o difficulty_n be_v over_o see_v it_o be_v agree_v that_o baptism_n be_v regenerate_v and_o some_o such_o child_n be_v save_v for_o if_o some_o child_n than_o child_n thus_o die_v be_v save_v and_o that_o be_v sufficient_a if_o the_o matter_n be_v not_o necessary_a and_o consequent_o the_o proposition_n not_o to_o be_v understand_v universal_o 12._o again_o if_o you_o urge_v that_o the_o matter_n of_o this_o indefinite_a proposition_n be_v necessary_a then_o i_o be_o content_a you_o conclude_v it_o universal_o &_o extend_v it_o to_o all_o such_o child_n 13._o for_o what_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o the_o present_a proposition_n but_o
the_o salvation_n of_o baptize_v child_n die_v before_o they_o commit_v actual_a sin_n now_o this_o be_v grant_v to_o be_v true_a of_o some_o else_o the_o promise_n be_v of_o none_o effect_v to_o the_o child_n and_o baptism_n of_o no_o efficacy_n and_o if_o it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v necessary_a it_o must_v be_v true_a of_o all_o and_o you_o need_v not_o doubt_v to_o assent_v unto_o it_o in_o a_o universal_a proposition_n 14._o thus_o jesus_n christ_n the_o text_n say_v come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v sinner_n this_o be_v a_o true_a proposition_n whether_o the_o matter_n be_v necessary_a or_o not_o because_o it_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v some_o sinner_n 15._o for_o if_o the_o matter_n be_v necessary_a than_o it_o be_v universal_o true_a if_o not_o necessary_a than_o it_o be_v indefinite_o true_a if_o he_o come_v with_o a_o purpose_n to_o save_v all_o he_o come_v to_o save_v sinner_n and_o if_o he_o come_v not_o with_o a_o purpose_n to_o save_v all_o yet_o he_o come_v to_o save_v some_o sinner_n and_o therefore_o sinner_n 16._o once_o more_o that_o baptism_n be_v for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v a_o certain_a truth_n or_o a_o undoubted_a proposition_n ground_v on_o the_o scripture_n be_v baptise_a for_o â—_o act_n â—_o the_o remission_n of_o sâ—â—â—_n 17._o this_o be_v a_o proposition_n of_o a_o indefinite_a nature_n if_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o be_v necessary_a it_o be_v true_a as_o i_o have_v say_v universal_o where_o its_o efficacy_n be_v not_o impede_v by_o the_o incapacity_n of_o the_o subject_a as_o it_o be_v not_o in_o child_n but_o if_o the_o matter_n be_v not_o necessary_a the_o proposition_n be_v still_o true_a that_o be_v indefinite_o 18._o to_o conclude_v either_o all_o such_o child_n be_v save_v or_o some_o only_o in_o either_o sendâ—_n the_o proposition_n be_v but_o indefinite_a be_v true_a if_o all_o such_o child_n be_v save_v than_o the_o matter_n be_v necessary_a and_o the_o proposition_n equipollent_a with_o a_o universal_a proposition_n if_o some_o only_a than_o the_o matter_n be_v not_o necessary_a and_o consequent_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n yea_o no_o liberty_n leave_v we_o to_o stretch_v the_o proposition_n which_o be_v indefinite_a both_o in_o its_o form_n and_o matter_n unto_o a_o universal_a signification_n sect_n 7._o of_o assent_n and_o consent_v unfeigned_a 1._o have_v dispatch_v your_o exception_n against_o the_o object_n of_o your_o assent_n and_o consent_v require_v by_o the_o act._n viz._n the_o book_n of_o ordination_n and_o the_o book_n of_o common-prayer_n 2._o we_o proceed_v to_o review_v these_o act_n themselves_o this_o unfeigned_a assent_n and_o consent_n upon_o which_o a_o great_a stress_n of_o controversy_n yet_o remain_v 3._o a_o objection_n that_o i_o propose_v and_o answer_v in_o my_o last_o book_n seem_v if_o not_o to_o create_v yet_o to_o provoke_v and_o very_o much_o to_o heighten_v this_o part_n of_o the_o quarrel_n 4._o the_o objection_n that_o i_o propose_v be_v this_o i_o suppose_v it_o may_v be_v say_v by_o some_o that_o though_o we_o can_v use_v the_o thing_n it_o be_v only_o for_o peace_n sake_n and_o in_o obedience_n to_o authority_n not_o that_o we_o will_v choose_v or_o can_v absolute_o approve_v of_o the_o thing_n in_o themselves_o 5._o hereunto_o i_o answer_v as_o you_o well_o note_v that_o we_o may_v approve_v a_o thing_n absolute_o or_o comparative_o or_o respective_o and_o consequent_o so_o give_v our_o assent_n and_o consent_v unto_o it_o and_o that_o the_o act_n can_v be_v think_v so_o strict_a as_o to_o allow_v of_o no_o assent_n or_o consent_v but_o such_o as_o arise_v from_o a_o absolute_a approbation_n of_o the_o thing_n themselves_o without_o any_o other_o extrinsiek_v consideration_n that_o may_v move_v and_o sway_v we_o to_o such_o a_o approbation_n 6._o the_o act_n require_v but_o a_o unfeigned_a assent_n and_o consent_n and_o a_o unfeigned_a assent_n and_o consent_n may_v arise_v from_o such_o a_o comparative_a approbation_n as_o a_o man_n may_v unfeigned_o assent_v and_o consent_v to_o his_o child_n marriage_n though_o he_o like_v not_o the_o match_n very_o well_o for_o the_o avoid_n of_o some_o great_a inconvenience_n that_o otherwise_o may_v happen_v 7._o i_o further_o observe_v that_o to_o interpret_v the_o act_n into_o such_o a_o absolute_a approbation_n be_v against_o charity_n to_o ourselves_o and_o our_o governor_n and_o against_o common_a reason_n see_v it_o be_v a_o moral_a impossibility_n that_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v exact_o of_o one_o mind_n in_o so_o many_o particular_n require_v of_o we_o see_v also_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o assent_n and_o consent_n be_v not_o specify_v in_o the_o act_n but_o leave_v to_o ourselves_o and_o last_o see_v that_o the_o very_a act_n itself_o bring_v motive_n with_o it_o to_o persuade_v we_o â—o_o conformity_n which_o will_v signify_v nothing_o if_o no_o consideration_n of_o the_o case_n beside_o the_o absolute_a goodness_n of_o the_o thing_n themselves_o be_v allow_v any_o force_n to_o prevail_v upon_o we_o 8._o i_o therefore_o conclude_v that_o we_o be_v leave_v at_o liberty_n by_o the_o say_a act_n to_o compare_v the_o consequence_n of_o obedience_n with_o those_o of_o dibedience_n and_o according_o to_o approve_v so_o and_o declare_v or_o not_o 9_o now_o let_v we_o examine_v what_o you_o say_v to_o these_o thing_n 1._o to_o my_o argument_n from_o charity_n you_o answer_v it_o only_o with_o less_o charity_n 2._o to_o my_o augment_v that_o the_o ground_n of_o assent_n and_o consent_n be_v not_o specify_v in_o the_o act_n but_o leave_v to_o ourselves_o you_o answer_v nothing_o because_o you_o mistake_v it_o 10._o you_o observe_v well_o that_o i_o say_v the_o ground_n of_o this_o assent_n and_o consent_n be_v not_o specify_v in_o the_o act_n but_o how_o strange_o do_v you_o comment_n upon_o it_o 11._o if_o by_o ground_n say_v you_o i_o mean_v the_o reason_n induce_v the_o legislator_n to_o require_v such_o a_o assent_n and_o consent_v you_o must_v be_v bold_a to_o deny_v what_o i_o affirm_v then_o you_o show_v the_o ground_n in_o the_o act_n for_o enjoin_v such_o a_o declaration_n of_o assent_n and_o consent_v and_o this_o be_v all_o you_o answer_v 12._o now_o have_v i_o mean_v as_o you_o suppose_v i_o confess_v you_o have_v answer_v i_o but_o if_o my_o word_n can_v not_o signify_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o upon_o review_v you_o will_v be_v easy_o convince_v you_o have_v answer_v yourselves_o and_o not_o i_o at_o all_o 13._o pray_v then_o consider_v be_v there_o not_o a_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o ground_n of_o assent_n and_o consent_n and_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o governor_n to_o enjoin_v a_o declaration_n of_o assent_n and_o consent_v can_v the_o scope_n of_o my_o argument_n or_o the_o very_a word_n of_o my_o proposition_n intend_v the_o latter_a or_o not_o the_o former_a 14._o the_o ground_n of_o enjoin_v such_o a_o declaration_n be_v in_o the_o legislator_n and_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o the_o act_n require_v these_o indeed_o be_v specify_v in_o the_o act_n of_o uniformity_n but_o the_o ground_n of_o assent_n and_o consent_n or_o of_o declare_v the_o same_o be_v in_o the_o subject_n and_o be_v proper_o the_o ground_n of_o obedience_n to_o that_o act_n which_o i_o must_v still_o say_v be_v not_o at_o all_o specify_v in_o it_o 15._o to_o my_o other_o argument_n take_v from_o the_o motive_n which_o the_o act_n itself_o afford_v we_o you_o only_o say_v that_o such_o argument_n as_o the_o avoid_v a_o severe_a penalty_n a_o legal_a opportunity_n of_o serve_v the_o church_n not_o show_v ourselves_o cross_a to_o authority_n etc._n etc._n be_v bad_a inducement_n to_o a_o unfeigned_a assent_n and_o consent_v 16._o but_o upon_o second_o thought_n i_o can_v believe_v you_o will_v maintain_v the_o quarrel_n with_o such_o motive_n as_o these_o which_o have_v doubtless_o a_o divine_a sanction_n what_o more_o familiar_a with_o the_o spirit_n of_o scripture_n then_o to_o use_v such_o topic_n of_o wrath_n threat_n curse_n death_n and_o hell_n itself_o to_o dissuade_v from_o sin_n and_o to_o move_v towards_o heaven_n and_o yet_o i_o hope_v the_o assent_n and_o consent_n wrought_v hereupon_o be_v not_o always_o feign_v or_o always_o a_o faint_a unfeigned_a assent_n and_o consent_v 17._o neither_o can_v i_o believe_v that_o you_o be_v tenacious_a in_o this_o because_o you_o say_v it_o may_v somewhat_o satisfy_v we_o if_o we_o have_v assurance_n from_o our_o legislator_n that_o such_o a_o comparative_a approbation_n will_v satisfy_v the_o law_n for_o i_o conclude_v from_o hence_o that_o what_o ever_o you_o say_v there_o be_v not_o even_o in_o your_o apprehension_n any_o inconsistency_n or_o contradiction_n betwixt_o such_o a_o comparative_a approbation_n and_o a_o unfeigned_a assent_n and_o consent_v though_o i_o can_v see_v no_o
