as_o former_a godly_a divine_n have_v practise_v this_o and_o as_o for_o the_o covenant_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o seal_n of_o circumcission_n and_o baptism_n you_o and_o the_o rest_n which_o will_v make_v it_o but_o a_o outward_a seal_n be_v much_o mistake_v for_o it_o be_v a_o everlasting_a covenant_n gen._n 17.13_o and_o though_o circumcission_n be_v take_v away_o because_o christ_n be_v come_v yet_o as_o calvin_n say_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o inward_a seal_n and_o baptism_n be_v a_o supply_n thereof_o your_o second_o reason_n be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o prefix_a day_n for_o circumcission_n to_o wit_n the_o 8._o day_n gen._n 17.12_o but_o no_o day_n appoint_v for_o dip_v or_o sprinkle_v for_o answer_v whereof_o know_v that_o although_o the_o eight_o day_n be_v mention_v yet_o the_o command_n be_v not_o absolute_a for_o the_o 8._o day_n and_o this_o will_v appear_v plain_o in_o the_o example_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n bear_v in_o the_o wilderness_n by_o the_o way_n come_v out_o of_o egypt_n that_o be_v not_o circumcise_v till_o afterward_o josua_n 5.5_o upon_o necessity_n circumsission_n may_v be_v defer_v as_o the_o eat_n of_o the_o passeover_n

gen._n 24.4_o but_o say_v you_o neither_o precept_n nor_o example_n in_o scripture_n to_o baptise_v infant_n for_o answer_v there_o be_v a_o precept_n where_o both_o young_a and_o old_a be_v to_o be_v

child_n can_v not_o but_o partake_v of_o the_o same_o outward_a privilege_n with_o they_o but_o to_o proceed_v argument_n 2._o you_o argue_v thus_o that_o which_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n to_o the_o church_n or_o that_o person_n that_o do_v it_o but_o the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n be_v not_o of_o faith_n ergo_fw-la a_o sin_n for_o answer_v whereof_o to_o prove_v baptism_n to_o infant_n that_o be_v believer_n child_n to_o be_v of_o faith_n against_o you_o thus_o in_o the_o 19_o of_o the_o act_v paul_n tell_v the_o disciple_n at_o ephesus_n that_o john_n babtise_v say_v that_o the_o

have_v not_o learned_a whether_o there_o be_v a_o holy_a ghost_n or_o not_o verse_n 2._o though_o afterward_o paul_n lay_v his_o hand_n on_o they_o to_o declare_v that_o they_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o they_o receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o thus_o these_o child_n of_o those_o believe_a parent_n be_v of_o the_o holy_a seed_n have_v right_a to_o baptism_n act_v 16.33_o but_o to_o answer_v your_o reason_n as_o you_o call_v they_o 1._o say_v you_o but_o baptism_n put_v infant_n of_o believe_a parent_n into_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n before_o call_v by_o which_o reason_n your_o own_o testimony_n be_v full_o against_o you_o prove_v former_o that_o baptism_n have_v no_o such_o prerogative_n because_o it_o be_v only_o the_o election_n of_o god_n own_o purpose_n and_o grace_n before_o the_o world_n begin_v that_o put_v we_o into_o this_o state_n of_o grace_n which_o be_v manifest_v unto_o and_o confer_v upon_o some_o before_o baptism_n act_v 8.36_o 37._o and_o upon_o other_o after_o baptism_n act_v 19.4_o baptism_n be_v only_o the_o outward_a seal_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n upon_o the_o spirit_n the_o inward_a seal_n as_o be_v former_o prove_v 2._o baptism_n constitute_v the_o infant_n of_o believe_a parent_n member_n of_o a_o visible_a church_n for_o if_o believe_a husband_n do_v not_o keep_v out_o unbelieving_a wife_n then_o be_v not_o their_o child_n unclean_a in_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o to_o be_v deprive_v of_o entrance_n into_o the_o congregation_n 1._o

the_o outward_a seal_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n who_o member_n not_o be_v elect_v can_v be_v save_v but_o must_v needs_o fall_v away_o and_o make_v a_o mock_n at_o christ_n heb._n 6.6_o and_o only_o those_o that_o have_v the_o inward_a seal_n they_o be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n whether_o jew_n or_o gentile_n be_v heir_n of_o heaven_n according_a to_o the_o promise_n gal._n 3.27_o 28_o 29._o 4._o your_o reason_n be_v not_o sound_a for_o none_o be_v so_o unwise_a to_o think_v grace_n be_v entail_v to_o generation_n but_o to_o regeneration_n for_o it_o neither_o do_v nor_o can_v follow_v that_o all_o that_o be_v baptize_v shall_v be_v save_v the_o contrary_a be_v already_o prove_v and_o god_n be_v as_o well_o able_a to_o give_v infant_n a_o habit_n of_o faith_n so_o far_o to_o make_v they_o capable_a of_o ascend_v to_o heaven_n if_o they_o die_v in_o infancy_n as_o well_o as_o man_n and_o woman_n and_o therefore_o be_v it_o that_o to_o such_o belong_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n 5._o the_o further_a you_o go_v the_o more_o you_o err_v where_o you_o draw_v false_a conclusion_n first_o that_o all_o baptise_a person_n be_v save_v or_o second_o that_o some_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n may_v fall_v away_o afterward_o and_o thus_o by_o your_o dive_v into_o a_o obscure_a nicety_n you_o raze_v the_o foundation_n of_o religion_n 6._o but_o now_o you_o undertake_v to_o prove_v that_o baptise_v of_o infant_n oppose_v the_o kingly_a office_n of_o christ_n in_o faith_n and_o order_n for_o proof_n whereof_o you_o cite_v math._n 15.16_o wherein_o christ_n require_v every_o one_o that_o be_v baptize_v to_o be_v a_o believer_n unto_o which_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v most_o certain_a and_o in_o the_o sight_n and_o account_v of_o god_n none_o have_v a_o right_n to_o baptism_n but_o believer_n yet_o this_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o man_n to_o distinguish_v believer_n from_o unbeliever_n and_o therefore_o according_a to_o that_o of_o matthew_n 28.29_o where_o you_o read_v the_o place_n go_v teach_v and_o make_v disciple_n and_o that_o this_o must_v be_v do_v by_o baptise_v and_o then_o teach_v so_o that_o baptism_n in_o the_o first_o order_n be_v not_o oppose_v but_o to_o your_o three_o argument_n wherein_o you_o argue_v thus_o that_o consequence_n which_o be_v uphold_v by_o the_o tradition_n of_o man_n be_v destructive_a to_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n wherein_o you_o abuse_v the_o practice_n of_o those_o who_o sufficient_a warrant_n from_o scripture_n though_o you_o all_o carp_n at_o never_o so_o long_o yet_o can_v never_o clear_v your_o endeavour_n be_v to_o make_v the_o privilege_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o the_o child_n of_o believer_n so_o far_o short_a of_o what_o the_o israelite_n under_o the_o law_n do_v enjoy_v and_o thus_o forget_v the_o settlement_n of_o peace_n in_o the_o kingdom_n you_o make_v the_o breach_n very_o wide_a oppose_v and_o interrupt_v a_o reformation_n covenant_v for_o and_o so_o much_o endeavour_v after_o by_o all_o those_o who_o desire_v to_o live_v in_o a_o conscionable_a obedience_n to_o the_o plain_a discovery_n of_o god_n holy_a will_n clear_o lay_v down_o in_o
