to_o sin_n for_o the_o motive_n and_o thing_n we_o be_v move_v to_o do_v be_v two_o and_o so_o be_v the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v second_o that_o infant_n be_v not_o capable_a subject_n of_o baptism_n for_o this_o sacrament_n call_v for_o understanding_n and_o judgement_n and_o sense_n to_o be_v exercise_v in_o all_o that_o partake_v thereof_o or_o else_o the_o whole_a work_n will_v be_v altogether_o insignificant_a therefore_o say_v one_o to_o carry_v a_o poor_a babe_n to_o baptism_n be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o carry_v it_o to_o hear_v a_o sermon_n a_o sign_n pareus_n as_o pareus_n observe_v be_v some_o outward_a thing_n appear_v to_o the_o sense_n through_o which_o some_o inward_a thing_n be_v at_o the_o same_o time_n apprehend_v by_o the_o understanding_n therefore_o say_v mr._n perkins_n 177._o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n and_o the_o administration_n of_o sacrament_n be_v all_o one_o in_o substance_n for_o in_o the_o one_o the_o witness_n of_o god_n be_v

be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n and_o a_o put_v on_o of_o christ_n as_o many_o as_o have_v be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n have_v put_v on_o christ_n and_o be_v all_o one_o in_o christ_n jesus_n 32._o say_v mr._n baxter_n and_o be_v abraham_n seed_n and_o heir_n according_a to_o promise_n gal._n 3._o 27_o 28_o 29._o this_o speak_v the_o apostle_n of_o the_o probability_n ground_v on_o a_o credible_a profession_n etc._n etc._n and_o further_o say_v he_o our_o baptism_n be_v the_o solemnize_n of_o our_o marriage_n with_o christ_n and_o it_o be_v a_o new_a and_o strange_a kind_n of_o marriage_n where_o there_o be_v no_o profession_n of_o consent_n now_o if_o this_o be_v true_a which_o mr._n baxter_n affirm_v and_o i_o see_v no_o cause_n to_o doubt_v of_o it_o most_o worthy_a man_n as_o well_o as_o scripture_n agree_v in_o this_o case_n with_o he_o how_o absurd_a and_o ridiculous_a a_o thing_n be_v the_o invention_n of_o infant-baptism_n since_o all_o man_n know_v they_o be_v not_o capable_a to_o signify_v their_o consent_n of_o marriage_n with_o christ_n if_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n cut_v in_o piece_n the_o very_a sinew_n of_o infant_n baptism_n it_o be_v this_o for_o there_o be_v a_o contract_n make_v between_o both_o party_n before_o the_o solemnisation_n of_o marriage_n and_o how_o can_v a_o babe_n of_o two_o or_o ten_o day_n old_a do_v that_o it_o be_v a_o strange_a marriage_n if_o it_o be_v not_o do_v though_o more_o strange_a indeed_o without_o the_o other_o but_o may_v be_v some_o will_v say_v it_o be_v a_o marriage_n by_o proxy_n or_o surety_n as_o prince_n sometime_o be_v marry_v answ_n sometime_o there_o have_v be_v some_o such_o like_a action_n do_v i_o must_v confess_v but_o do_v not_o the_o prince_n actual_o consent_v so_o to_o be_v marry_v but_o all_o this_o while_n who_o have_v require_v any_o thing_n of_o this_o at_o our_o hand_n be_v not_o surety_n in_o baptism_n a_o mere_a human_a invention_n and_o have_v not_o our_o brethren_n cast_v it_o away_o as_o such_o the_o three_o end_n of_o baptism_n as_o mr._n perkins_n observe_v be_v this_o viz._n it_o be_v a_o sign_n to_o believer_n of_o the_o covenant_n on_o god_n part_n of_o the_o wash_n away_o of_o our_o sin_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n we_o see_v say_v lie_v what_o be_v do_v in_o baptism_n the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v solemnize_v between_o god_n
