that_o act_n out_o of_o ignorance_n not_o whole_o excuse_v abraham_n love_v he_o not_o yes_o as_o josiah_n be_v the_o generation_n of_o they_o that_o love_v god_n though_o manasseh_n his_o father_n

but_o in_o their_o answer_n they_o fall_v into_o two_o error_n first_o that_o the_o church_n be_v a_o company_n of_o true_a believer_n who_o god_n bath_n choose_v to_o eternal_a life_n which_o church_n i_o pray_v not_o that_o whereof_o new_o bear_v bastard_n of_o christian_a parent_n be_v by_o profession_n member_n the_o holy_a catholic_a church_n and_o proper_a body_n of_o christ_n may_v

second_o error_n be_v that_o bastard_n be_v infidel_n for_o this_o can_v not_o be_v conceive_v of_o bastard_n of_o christian_a parent_n as_o be_v before_o prove_v objection_n 5_o five_o they_o yet_o find_v more_o argument_n to_o oppose_v they_o censure_n bastard_n may_v belong_v to_o god_n election_n and_o therefore_o be_v not_o to_o be_v deny_v baptism_n it_o shall_v have_v be_v thus_o set_v they_o may_v belong_v to_o god_n election_n as_o member_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n for_o otherwise_o election_n may_v belong_v to_o jew_n and_o turk_n who_o yet_o be_v not_o baptizable_a without_o personable_a profession_n but_o they_o answer_v thus_o sol._n it_o must_v not_o be_v say_v they_o may_v belong_v censure_n but_o they_o do_v belong_v to_o god_n election_n for_o otherwise_o the_o sign_n be_v not_o to_o be_v administer_v unto_o they_o do_v they_o consider_v how_o thus_o they_o take_v away_o baptism_n from_o all_o man_n woman_n 2.19_o and_o child_n the_o lord_n know_v who_o be_v he_o and_o the_o church_n reach_v but_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o charity_n a_o judgement_n of_o certainty_n to_o warrant_v we_o in_o these_o act_n be_v no_o where_o grant_v though_o baptism_n be_v defer_v to_o the_o last_o gasp_n for_o any_o thing_n know_v to_o i_o of_o faith_n objection_n 6_o six_o they_o further_o find_v another_o argument_n against_o they_o that_o if_o bastard_n be_v deny_v baptism_n this_o be_v to_o make_v the_o child_n to_o bear_v the_o iniquity_n of_o their_o parent_n 18._o but_o may_v they_o not_o rather_o thus_o dispute_v censure_n the_o child_n who_o parent_n have_v a_o right_n to_o baptism_n have_v also_o a_o right_a to_o baptism_n themselves_o notwithstanding_o their_o parent_n personal_a fault_n for_o otherwise_o they_o shall_v be_v punish_v for_o parent_n fault_n but_o the_o christian_n parent_n of_o bastard_n have_v a_o right_n to_o baptism_n themselves_o and_o therefore_o so_o have_v their_o child_n they_o have_v a_o right_n of_o possession_n to_o the_o baptism_n they_o have_v and_o a_o right_a of_o expectation_n to_o the_o comfort_n of_o it_o upon_o their_o faith_n and_o repentance_n but_o take_v their_o answer_n
