upon_o certain_a evidence_n of_o the_o scripture_n otherwise_o than_o as_o interpret_v so_o or_o so_o by_o the_o catholic_n church_n as_o 1._o that_o christ_n be_v of_o one_o substance_n with_o the_o

catholic_n church_n have_v interpret_v divers_a scripture_n to_o justify_v they_o to_o be_v so_o sure_o this_o be_v strange_a doctrine_n for_o a_o protestant_n but_o be_v a_o man_n dispose_v to_o

to_o discourage_v and_o take_v off_o his_o confidence_n and_o particular_o if_o i_o desire_v he_o to_o resolve_v i_o but_o this_o one_o what_o sort_n of_o christian_n be_v this_o catholic_n church_n but_o he_o add_v we_o can_v prove_v infant-baptism_n from_o the_o scope_n and_o tenor_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o from_o many_o passage_n of_o it_o as_o they_o be_v interpret_v according_a to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o ancient_a primitive_a church_n but_o this_o be_v a_o vain_a boast_n and_o i_o demand_v what_o church_n or_o what_o apostle_n do_v interpret_v any_o part_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n or_o of_o the_o gospel_n to_o such_o a_o sense_n the_o doctor_n reply_v it_o be_v unreasonable_a to_o presume_v that_o the_o gospel_n will_v not_o extend_v the_o subject_a of_o baptism_n as_o far_o as_o the_o jewish_a church_n extend_v the_o subject_a both_o of_o circumcision_n and_o baptism_n but_o i_o answer_v if_o this_o be_v grant_v yet_o the_o doctor_n gain_v nothing_o for_o 1._o the_o jewish_a church_n have_v no_o baptism_n at_o all_o of_o divine_a institution_n and_o therefore_o can_v not_o extend_v that_o she_o have_v not_o 2._o her_o circumcision_n be_v limit_v to_o abraham_n family_n and_o perhaps_o not_o extend_v to_o much_o above_o a_o three_o part_n of_o that_o family_n neither_o see_v all_o female_n and_o all_o male_n that_o die_v before_o the_o eight_o day_n be_v debar_v of_o it_o whereas_o the_o gospel_n extend_v holy_a baptism_n to_o all_o nation_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n to_o both_o male_a and_o female_a as_o they_o be_v qualify_v for_o it_o thus_o for_o his_o argument_n from_o the_o scope_n let_v we_o now_o see_v his_o particular_a passage_n to_o prove_v infant-baptism_n p._n 55._o the_o doctor_n give_v we_o these_o text_n

good_a reader_n look_v upon_o these_o scripture_n and_o thou_o will_v not_o find_v one_o word_n of_o precept_n or_o example_n for_o infant-baptism_n in_o they_o all_o the_o first_o place_n show_v

therefore_o that_o place_n john_n 3._o 5._o can_v by_o any_o mean_n be_v understand_v of_o infant_n look_v well_o also_o upon_o 1_o cor._n 1._o 16._o and_o compare_v it_o with_o 1_o cor._n 16._o 15_o

thence_o infer_v for_o the_o duty_n of_o parent_n and_o proparent_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o baptism_n and_o the_o first_o be_v their_o consecration_n to_o god._n as_o if_o no_o infant_n be_v

only_o by_o prayer_n or_o blessing_n not_o by_o baptise_v they_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o such_o as_o follow_v his_o example_n in_o devote_v infant_n to_o god_n by_o prayer_n do_v act_n

have_v need_n of_o it_o his_o second_o benefit_n be_v to_o make_v infant_n member_n of_o the_o mystical_a body_n of_o christ_n as_o if_o it_o be_v in_o man_n power_n to_o make_v who_o they_o please_v member_n of_o that_o body_n and_o that_o when_o they_o be_v fast_o asleep_a too_o be_v not_o this_o the_o plain_a consequence_n of_o this_o opinion_n that_o all_o infant_n unbaptise_v be_v not_o of_o christ_n mystical_a body_n must_v perish_v i_o know_v the_o doctor_n do_v not_o hold_v this_o but_o it_o be_v hard_a to_o avoid_v this_o rock_n when_o man_n be_v entangle_v in_o this_o error_n that_o they_o can_v make_v infant_n member_n of_o christ_n mystical_a body_n by_o sprinkle_v or_o cross_v they_o with_o water_n and_o they_o think_v they_o can_v be_v make_v so_o by_o no_o other_o way_n now_o i_o demand_v of_o any_o man_n whether_o the_o whole_a number_n of_o the_o save_v one_o be_v not_o all_o of_o christ_n mystical_a body_n not_o doubt_v but_o it_o will_v be_v grant_v i_o desire_v

whether_o all_o infant_n of_o who_o christ_n say_v to_o they_o belong_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v not_o of_o his_o mystical_a body_n as_o it_o contain_v all_o save_a one_o i_o believe_v none_o will_v deny_v this_o the_o last_o consideration_n be_v whether_o christ_n do_v speak_v of_o infant_n indefinite_o and_o as_o such_o comprehend_v they_o all_o and_o if_o not_o how_o be_v it_o
