teach_v of_o god_n and_o suppose_v this_o to_o be_v true_a of_o those_o who_o be_v bear_v of_o believe_a parent_n they_o conclude_v they_o may_v be_v baptize_v i_o answer_v for_o argument_n sake_n i_o

some_o secret_a teach_v of_o god_n but_o how_o we_o shall_v prove_v either_o of_o our_o supposition_n i_o know_v not_o nevertheless_o i_o deny_v that_o they_o be_v therefore_o to_o be_v baptize_v by_o

that_o be_v man_n to_o make_v disciple_n by_o their_o ministry_n he_o speak_v unto_o they_o the_o conclusion_n be_v natural_a which_o i_o shall_v form_v into_o this_o short_a syllogism_n if_o little_a infant_n be_v not_o capable_a to_o be_v make_v disciple_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o man_n then_o they_o can_v possible_o be_v the_o subject_n of_o baptism_n intend_v in_o this_o commission_n but_o

commission_n the_o major_n be_v undeniable_a the_o minor_a i_o thus_o prove_v if_o little_a infant_n have_v no_o knowledge_n to_o discern_v between_o good_a and_o evil_a than_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a to_o be_v make_v disciple_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o men._n but_o they_o have_v no_o knowledge_n to_o discern_v between_o good_a and_o evil_a ergo_fw-la they_o be_v not_o capable_a to_o
