how_o weak_a be_v your_o proof_n for_o baptise_v infant_n from_o such_o scripture_n how_o can_v you_o prove_v that_o these_o house_n have_v child_n paed._n not_o so_o fast_o i_o be_o not_o here_o argue_v the_o probability_n that_o these_o house_n have_v child_n that_o they_o have_v not_o you_o can_v as_o little_a prove_v as_o i_o that_o they_o have_v but_o that_o for_o which_o i_o produce_v these_o text_n be_v this_o that_o the_o mention_v of_o house_n or_o family_n speak_v plain_o a_o privilege_n which_o that_o house_n or_o family_n have_v by_o its_o master_n conversion_n like_o that_o which_o abraham_n family_n have_v when_o god_n enjoin_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n to_o he_o which_o reach_v to_o his_o consent_v servant_n and_o his_o child_n and_o family_n be_v mention_v upon_o no_o other_o ground_n but_o as_o child_n be_v reckon_v with_o their_o parent_n before_o so_o it_o be_v still_o under_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o if_o salvation_n offer_v by_o christ_n and_o

that_o house_n or_o family_n have_v be_v needless_a and_o no_o privilege_n will_v have_v be_v suppose_v to_o have_v accrue_v to_o their_o house_n or_o family_n as_o such_o nor_o can_v you_o turn_v off_o that_o to_o zaccheus_n salvation_n be_v come_v to_o thy_o house_n by_o say_v christ_n who_o be_v salvation_n be_v go_v to_o his_o house_n for_o christ_n though_o he_o be_v often_o call_v a_o

reason_n evident_o relate_v to_o the_o word_n house_n salvation_n be_v come_v to_o thy_o house_n because_o thou_o be_v a_o believer_n and_o so_o a_o son_n of_o abraham_n this_o salvation_n belong_v to_o thou_o and_o to_o thy_o family_n according_a to_o the_o promise_n which_o god_n make_v to_o abraham_n i_o will_v be_v a_o god_n to_o thou_o and_o to_o thy_o seed_n after_o thou_o antip._n i_o have_v one_o objection_n more_o which_o if_o you_o can_v answer_v you_o will_v do_v much_o towards_o my_o satisfaction_n i_o observe_v that_o there_o be_v such_o antecedent_n qualification_n require_v to_o baptism_n that_o it_o can_v be_v suppose_v that_o infant_n shall_v be_v capable_a of_o baptism_n in_o that_o they_o can_v be_v so_o qualify_v mark_v 16.16_o he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptise_a shall_v be_v save_v etc._n etc._n gal._n 3.27_o for_o as_o many_o of_o you_o as_o have_v be_v baptise_a into_o christ_n have_v put_v on_o christ_n paed._n i_o know_v these_o scripture_n pass_v for_o invincible_a argument_n with_o some_o who_o argue_v thence_o that_o infant_n do_v not_o believe_v and_o therefore_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v baptise_a they_o do_v not_o put_v on_o christ_n and_o therefore_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v baptise_a but_o i_o do_v not_o question_v but_o i_o shall_v make_v you_o quit_v your_o argument_n present_o if_o you_o will_v give_v i_o but_o a_o direct_a answer_n to_o these_o question_n 1._o do_v you_o think_v these_o scripture_n speak_v of_o infant_n or_o of_o adult_n grow_v person_n antipae_fw-la i_o think_v these_o scripture_n speak_v of_o all_o that_o be_v to_o be_v baptise_a and_o that_o none_o be_v to_o be_v baptise_a but_o such_o as_o by_o faith_n can_v put_v on_o christ_n paed._n 2_o what_o do_v you_o think_v of_o die_v infant_n shall_v they_o be_v save_v or_o damn_v antipae_fw-la why_o do_v you_o trouble_v i_o with_o that_o question_n if_o i_o say_v they_o be_v damn_a you_o will_v call_v i_o uncharitable_a paed._n but_o see_v you_o argue_v against_o infant-baptism_n from_o these_o scripture_n you_o can_v be_v offend_v if_o i_o make_v these_o inference_n from_o they_o 1_o you_o say_v infant_n do_v not_o believe_v and_o therefore_o can_v be_v baptise_a will_n it_o not_o be_v as_o clear_v a_o inference_n child_n can_v believe_v therefore_o they_o must_v be_v damn_v 2._o i_o infer_v if_o child_n be_v not_o damn_a then_o in_o some_o sense_n or_o other_o infant_n do_v believe_v and_o put_v on_o christ_n and_o may_v be_v baptise_a and_o save_v or_o 3._o i_o infer_v that_o if_o it_o be_v uncharitable_a to_o imagine_v that_o child_n be_v damn_a for_o want_v of_o actual_a faith_n or_o repentance_n then_o sure_o these_o scripture_n do_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o case_n of_o infant_n but_o only_o of_o the_o case_n of_o adult_n person_n to_o who_o only_o the_o gospel_n be_v first_o to_o be_v preach_v and_o of_o who_o actual_a faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v require_v before_o either_o themselves_o or_o infant_n can_v be_v capable_a of_o baptism_n now_o i_o leave_v it_o to_o yourself_o to_o choose_v which_o of_o these_o you_o please_v if_o you_o make_v choice_n of_o the_o first_o inference_n you_o destroy_v your_o opinion_n in_o the_o judgement_n of_o all_o good_a man_n who_o will_v abhor_v such_o blasphemy_n against_o god_n and_o such_o uncharitableness_n to_o all_o infant_n if_o you_o take_v the_o second_o inference_n you_o yield_v up_o the_o whole_a cause_n if_o you_o fly_v for_o refuge_n to_o the_o three_o inference_n than_o you_o grant_v as_o much_o as_o we_o desire_v that_o the_o new_a testament_n take_v it_o for_o grant_v as_o a_o know_a general_n truth_n give_v no_o particular_a command_n or_o direction_n about_o the_o reception_n of_o child_n into_o covenant_n that_o be_v needless_a but_o only_o give_v direction_n about_o receive_v adult_a jew_n or_o gentile_n into_o the_o church_n upon_o their_o conversion_n aporet_n this_o be_v hard_a choice_n but_o i_o confess_v i_o see_v no_o other_o remedy_n but_o i_o will_v rather_o fix_v upon_o the_o last_o inference_n than_o upon_o the_o first_o for_o methinks_v it_o go_v against_o humane_a nature_n to_o think_v or_o speak_v so_o harsh_o of_o poor_a infant_n and_o sure_o no_o parent_n who_o bowel_n yern_v after_o their_o child_n can_v be_v fond_a of_o such_o a_o opinion_n i_o pray_v call_v over_o the_o particular_n discourse_v that_o we_o may_v have_v a_o short_a sum_n of_o all_o paed._n i_o have_v proceed_v by_o these_o step_n 1._o i_o have_v prove_v that_o god_n have_v take_v care_n of_o the_o salvation_n of_o infant_n as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o adult_n 2._o i_o have_v prove_v god_n way_n and_o method_n to_o salvation_n be_v to_o bring_v they_o into_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n 3._o i_o have_v prove_v that_o child_n be_v all_o along_o in_o covenant_n with_o their_o parent_n 4._o that_o as_o soon_o as_o god_n add_v seal_n to_o the_o covenant_n he_o command_v child_n to_o be_v bring_v under_o the_o initiate_a seal_n of_o it_o 5._o that_o this_o be_v not_o a_o privilege_n peculiar_a to_o the_o child_n of_o the_o jew_n only_o but_o that_o the_o infant_n of_o proselit_v gentile_n be_v admit_v to_o the_o seal_n 6._o that_o the_o covenant_n make_v with_o abraham_n be_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n 7._o that_o the_o edition_n of_o that_o covenant_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v the_o same_o for_o substance_n 8._o that_o when_o god_n see_v it_o fit_a to_o take_v away_o circumcision_n he_o institute_v to_o his_o covenant_n as_o a_o seal_n to_o it_o the_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n 9_o in_o the_o preach_a of_o the_o gospel_n to_o the_o gentile_n for_o their_o conversion_n it_o be_v never_o question_v but_o know_v of_o all_o that_o their_o child_n be_v to_o come_v into_o covenant_n with_o their_o convert_v parent_n 10._o that_o therefore_o it_o be_v needless_a to_o give_v particular_a direction_n about_o infant_n 11._o that_o the_o great_a business_n of_o the_o first_o planter_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o convert_v jew_n and_o gentile_n all_o that_o be_v usual_o say_v about_o baptism_n relate_v to_o the_o adult_n 12._o and_o i_o have_v also_o prove_v that_o where_o there_o be_v occasion_n the_o new_a testament_n have_v sufficient_o declare_v the_o infant_n right_o to_o the_o promise_n and_o covenant_n as_o derive_v from_o their_o believe_a parent_n 13._o i_o have_v beside_o this_o answer_v all_o your_o objection_n and_o now_o tell_v i_o whether_o this_o be_v not_o for_o all_o the_o talk_n about_o precept_n and_o precedent_n a_o give_v you_o both_o precept_n and_o precedent_n plain_o for_o this_o that_o child_n be_v under_o
