A45681	Infant baptism God's ordinance, or, Clear proof that all the children of believing parents are in the covenant of grace and have as much a right to baptism the now seal of the covenant, as the infant seed of the Jewes had to circumcision, the then seal of the covenant / by Michael Harrison ...

than_o they_o ought_v to_o receive_v the_o badge_n of_o a_o disciple_n to_o have_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n name_v over_o they_o in_o baptism_n argument_n ix_o if_o in_o our_o saviour_n time_n the_o

there_o be_v no_o mention_n in_o scripture_n of_o child_n of_o believe_a parent_n baptize_v at_o adult_n age_n i_o shall_v multiply_v no_o more_o argument_n by_o these_o the_o unprejudiced_a reader_n will_v be_v abundant_o satisfy_v that_o infant-baptism_n be_v god_n ordinance_n chap._n v._o show_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o anabaptist_n in_o exclude_v infant_n from_o baptism_n and_o

25.1_o 2_o 3_o 4._o this_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o baptism_n we_o do_v not_o baptize_v person_n as_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n or_o infant_n as_o the_o infant_n of_o the_o elect_n but_o as_o make_v

there_o be_v you_o know_v a_o sort_n of_o restless_a people_n among_o we_o who_o be_v perpetual_o let_v fly_n and_o with_o great_a indignation_n spurn_v at_o infant_n baptism_n tell_v you_o your_o
