believe_v and_o acknowledge_v he_o and_o submit_v themselves_o to_o be_v inform_v by_o his_o word_n though_o they_o have_v not_o yet_o either_o true_a repentance_n or_o justify_v faith_n for_o they_o know_v that_o such_o a_o belief_n and_o profession_n as_o make_v man_n meet_v for_o outward_a baptism_n may_v be_v where_o justify_v faith_n be_v not_o and_o that_o both_o that_o belief_n profession_n and_o baptism_n do_v but_o make_v a_o christian_n outward_o as_o the_o outward_a profession_n and_o circumcision_n of_o the_o jew_n do_v but_o make_v a_o jew_n outward_o and_o no_o better_a do_v they_o judge_v or_o conclude_v of_o any_o but_o when_o they_o see_v better_a cause_n now_o concern_v the_o baptise_v of_o child_n which_o they_o say_v be_v no_o baptism_n at_o all_o but_o do_v call_v it_o the_o mark_n of_o the_o beast_n we_o affirm_v that_o the_o child_n of_o all_o such_o believer_n as_o may_v themselves_o be_v baptize_v may_v also_o be_v baptize_v and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o nor_o can_v be_v the_o mark_n of_o the_o beast_n speak_v of_o but_o be_v true_a outward_a baptism_n first_o to_o avoid_v many_o of_o their_o vain_a and_o idle_a objection_n and_o that_o we_o may_v come_v the_o more_o clear_a to_o the_o point_n let_v we_o remember_v that_o it_o be_v sufficient_o prove_v already_o that_o all_o have_v sin_v in_o adam_n and_o that_o death_n be_v pass_v on_o all_o for_o that_o all_o have_v sin_v in_o he_o be_v pollute_v from_o their_o very_a conception_n and_o that_o therefore_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o a_o new_a birth_n from_o above_o of_o water_n and_o of_o the_o spirit_n as_o well_o to_o the_o young_a man_n of_o day_n or_o hour_n as_o to_o the_o elder_a man_n of_o year_n so_o that_o whosoever_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o flesh_n he_o must_v be_v bear_v again_o from_o above_o of_o the_o spirit_n either_o soon_o or_o late_a if_o he_o be_v save_v and_o that_o although_o repentance_n and_o faith_n be_v the_o part_n of_o this_o new_a birth_n and_o that_o repentance_n have_v these_o part_n whereby_o it_o be_v express_v in_o man_n of_o year_n sorrow_n for_o sin_n confession_n of_o sin_n and_o desire_v of_o pardon_n as_o we_o have_v before_o define_v and_o that_o justify_n faith_n which_o be_v the_o other_o part_n of_o this_o new_a birth_n be_v a_o assurance_n or_o full_a persuasion_n wrought_v in_o the_o repentant_a heart_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n as_o we_o have_v also_o define_v it_o i_o say_v in_o man_n of_o year_n who_o also_o do_v confess_v with_o the_o mouth_n as_o it_o be_v write_v with_o the_o heart_n man_n believe_v unto_o righteousness_n and_o with_o the_o mouth_n confession_n be_v make_v unto_o salvation_n yet_o nevertheless_o the_o true_a nature_n of_o both_o these_o part_n of_o the_o new_a birth_n may_v be_v in_o another_o manner_n define_v and_o still_o remain_v the_o same_o in_o substance_n as_o the_o first_o part_n be_v call_v in_o scripture_n a_o heart_n of_o flesh_n a_o humble_a and_o contrite_a heart_n a_o break_a heart_n and_o saint_n paul_n call_v it_o the_o fleshly_a table_n of_o the_o heart_n in_o which_o regard_n it_o be_v call_v the_o baptism_n of_o water_n and_o the_o birth_n of_o water_n which_o we_o define_v thus_o namely_o that_o it_o be_v a_o special_a effect_n or_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n whereby_o the_o heart_n which_o be_v natural_o hard_a and_o stubborn_a even_o from_o the_o birth_n be_v make_v soft_a and_o tender_a as_o water_n or_o as_o flesh_n be_v in_o comparison_n of_o a_o stone_n that_o so_o it_o may_v receive_v the_o impression_n of_o the_o grace_n and_o love_n of_o god_n the_o second_o part_n which_o be_v call_v the_o baptism_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o birth_n of_o the_o spirit_n we_o define_v to_o be_v a_o special_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n also_o but_o more_o excellent_a which_o write_v and_o seal_v in_o the_o soft_a and_o tender_a heart_n of_o flesh_n grace_n and_o peace_n from_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o fill_v it_o with_o heavenly_a comfort_n and_o joy_n like_v unto_o that_o which_o be_v say_v of_o john_n be_v in_o his_o mother_n womb_n when_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o salutation_n of_o mary_n sound_v in_o the_o ear_n of_o elizabeth_n the_o babe_n leap_v in_o her_o womb_n for_o joy_n which_o doubtless_o be_v cause_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o child_n now_o in_o this_o sort_n child_n be_v capable_a of_o both_o the_o part_n and_o so_o of_o the_o whole_a new_a birth_n which_o in_o they_o be_v no_o other_o in_o nature_n but_o the_o very_a same_o which_o be_v in_o man_n of_o year_n though_o it_o be_v not_o outward_o so_o express_v as_o we_o may_v perceive_v by_o the_o word_n of_o paul_n to_o the_o faithful_a of_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n forasmuch_o say_v he_o as_o you_o be_v manifest_o declare_v to_o be_v the_o epistle_n of_o christ_n minister_v by_o we_o write_v not_o with_o ink_n but_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o live_a god_n not_o in_o table_n of_o stone_n but_o in_o the_o fleshly_a table_n of_o the_o heart_n for_o as_o the_o law_n of_o death_n be_v write_v in_o table_n of_o stone_n and_o all_o the_o hard_a and_o stony_a heart_n of_o the_o whole_a posterity_n of_o adam_n not_o only_a might_n but_o also_o do_v and_o do_v receive_v even_o in_o their_o very_a conception_n a_o deep_a impression_n thereof_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n ever_o be_v be_v and_o be_v to_o be_v write_v in_o heart_n of_o flesh_n soft_a and_o tender_a heart_n and_o in_o no_o other_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o god_n do_v promise_v to_o take_v away_o from_o his_o elect_a the_o hard_a and_o stony_a heart_n and_o to_o give_v they_o a_o heart_n of_o flesh_n a_o humble_a and_o break_a heart_n because_o his_o pleasure_n and_o promise_n be_v to_o dwell_v with_o such_o to_o revive_v and_o comfort_v they_o and_o no_o other_o and_o to_o speak_v plain_o howsoever_o perhaps_o some_o do_v otherwise_o conceive_v it_o be_v not_o our_o act_n of_o believe_v that_o do_v justify_v we_o but_o it_o be_v the_o free_a gift_n of_o grace_n seal_v in_o our_o heart_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n whereby_o god_n justify_v we_o which_o grace_n and_o spirit_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o act_n of_o believe_v or_o faith_n by_o which_o we_o be_v so_o often_o say_v in_o scripture_n to_o be_v justify_v where_o the_o effect_n be_v name_v for_o the_o cause_n by_o reason_n it_o be_v thereby_o make_v apparent_a unto_o we_o as_o also_o in_o another_o sense_n we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n because_o work_n do_v demonstrate_v and_o make_v manifest_a our_o faith_n to_o other_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o primitive_a church_n of_o rome_n that_o their_o faith_n have_v shine_v throughout_o the_o world_n mean_v by_o work_n which_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o faith_n so_o that_o saint_n paul_n call_v the_o faithful_a the_o epistle_n of_o christ_n not_o so_o much_o for_o their_o act_n of_o believe_v as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o be_v write_v in_o their_o heart_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n by_o which_o they_o do_v now_o believe_v and_o cry_v abba_n father_n as_o it_o be_v write_v he_o have_v send_v forth_o the_o spirit_n of_o his_o son_n into_o our_o heart_n which_o cry_v abba_n father_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n 8._o the_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v call_v the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n these_o thing_n be_v so_o what_o shall_v now_o let_v that_o child_n may_v not_o be_v baptize_v be_v they_o capable_a as_o we_o see_v of_o regeneration_n and_o be_v they_o not_o capable_a of_o the_o sign_n thereof_o may_v their_o heart_n be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n and_o may_v not_o the_o filth_n of_o their_o flesh_n be_v wash_v off_o with_o water_n for_o the_o baptism_n of_o water_n be_v but_o the_o do_v away_o of_o the_o filth_n of_o the_o flesh_n as_o saint_n peter_n speak_v even_o as_o outward_a circumcision_n be_v but_o the_o cut_n off_o the_o foreskin_n of_o the_o flesh_n represent_v the_o cut_n off_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o flesh_n the_o circumcision_n of_o the_o heart_n as_o also_o baptism_n do_v for_o the_o
