certain_o sir_n you_o can_v never_o think_v that_o these_o two_o proposition_n receive_v countenance_n and_o confirmation_n from_o this_o text_n for_o first_o if_o infant_n be_v not_o exclude_v from_o baptism_n by_o this_o text_n good_a now_o do_v so_o much_o as_o tell_v we_o who_o be_v second_o if_o person_n may_v be_v baptize_v by_o this_o text_n without_o be_v first_o teach_v pray_v be_v so_o kind_a as_o to_o tell_v we_o who_o by_o this_o text_n be_v not_o to_o be_v baptize_v if_o you_o think_v none_o be_v exclude_v or_o if_o there_o can_v be_v none_o in_o the_o world_n that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v baptize_v i_o wish_v you_o will_v tell_v we_o so_o in_o word_n at_o length_n that_o we_o may_v ready_o give_v you_o the_o reputation_n of_o extraordinary_a doctor_n of_o divinity_n pray_v gentleman_n tell_v we_o also_o plain_o how_o you_o think_v the_o apostle_n by_o virtue_n of_o this_o commission_n be_v to_o make_v disciple_n of_o christ_n in_o order_n to_o their_o be_v baptize_v be_v they_o to_o make_v people_n disciple_n of_o christ_n mere_o by_o look_v upon_o they_o without_o speak_v a_o word_n to_o they_o this_o indeed_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o design_n of_o your_o struggle_n in_o your_o two_o paper_n namely_o that_o the_o apostle_n be_v to_o disciple_v people_n to_o christ_n wherever_o they_o come_v without_o teach_v they_o any_o thing_n in_o order_n thereunto_o which_o he_o that_o can_v believe_v certain_o need_v stick_v at_o nothing_o for_o if_o people_n may_v be_v disciple_n of_o christ_n without_o be_v teach_v than_o they_o may_v be_v disciple_n of_o christ_n without_o learn_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o and_o if_o so_o then_o sure_a one_o will_v think_v that_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v in_o every_o or_o any_o capacity_n ipso_fw-la facto_fw-la be_v disciple_n of_o christ_n and_o yet_o again_o they_o be_v to_o be_v make_v disciple_n before_o they_o can_v be_v so_o and_o the_o apostle_n be_v to_o do_v something_o in_o order_n to_o the_o make_v they_o so_o but_o what_o that_o be_v who_o can_v imagine_v for_o they_o be_v not_o to_o speak_v a_o word_n to_o they_o to_o teach_v they_o any_o thing_n about_o it_o sir_n why_o do_v you_o strive_v thus_o by_o your_o confuse_a confidence_n to_o deceive_v people_n and_o bring_v they_o into_o a_o miserable_a maze_n beside_o if_o this_o be_v the_o design_n of_o the_o commission_n that_o the_o apostle_n be_v to_o make_v disciple_n without_o teach_v than_o these_o two_o thing_n will_v follow_v first_o that_o our_o translator_n of_o the_o text_n be_v either_o very_a ignorant_a and_o know_v not_o how_o to_o translate_v the_o word_n as_o they_o shall_v have_v do_v or_o else_o very_o unfaithful_a that_o they_o do_v not_o for_o they_o have_v by_o their_o translation_n of_o the_o text_n give_v we_o occasion_n to_o believe_v almost_o whether_o we_o will_v or_o no_o that_o teach_v must_v precede_v baptism_n and_o real_o it_o seem_v to_o agree_v so_o mighty_o not_o only_o with_o reason_n itself_o but_o also_o with_o other_o scripture_n that_o we_o can_v do_v no_o less_o than_o think_v it_o true_a two_o if_o this_o be_v the_o sense_n and_o design_n of_o the_o place_n then_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v ever_o presume_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o any_o body_n before_o they_o have_v baptize_v they_o they_o have_v go_v quite_o beside_o their_o commission_n and_o break_v the_o command_n of_o their_o master_n for_o either_o they_o be_v to_o teach_v people_n by_o this_o commission_n before_o they_o baptize_v they_o or_o they_o be_v not_o if_o they_o be_v than_o all_o your_o strange_a prattle_n to_o the_o contrary_n be_v go_v if_o they_o be_v not_o then_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v must_v follow_v or_o else_o there_o must_v be_v two_o commission_n in_o this_o one_o contra-distinct_a to_o each_o other_o give_v out_o in_o the_o selfsame_a word_n which_o can_v be_v but_o of_o one_o signification_n and_o yet_o must_v be_v understand_v in_o two_o quite_o contrary_a to_o each_o other_o that_o be_v you_o shall_v and_o you_o shall_v not_o teach_v people_n before_o you_o baptize_v they_o and_o how_o consonant_a these_o thing_n be_v to_o scripture_n and_o reason_n let_v all_o the_o world_n judge_v but_o alas_o be_v it_o not_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o the_o poor_a ignorant_a world_n that_o be_v apt_a to_o be_v take_v with_o any_o thing_n you_o say_v we_o need_v not_o take_v any_o pain_n to_o confute_v you_o for_o after_o you_o have_v be_v peddle_v a_o while_n to_o make_v folk_n believe_v that_o the_o apostle_n be_v to_o make_v disciple_n without_o teach_v you_o present_o even_o in_o the_o prosecution_n of_o your_o proof_n contradict_v and_o confute_v yourselves_o for_o you_o say_v mathetéusate_a which_o signify_v to_o

a_o clear_a confession_n that_o teach_v be_v as_o necessary_a and_o essential_a to_o the_o make_n of_o disciple_n as_o baptise_v and_o if_o so_o what_o will_v you_o do_v for_o infant-disciple_n be_v you_o not_o as_o far_o to_o seek_v now_o as_o ever_o your_o were_z what_o be_v you_o the_o near_o if_o this_o be_v true_a to_o baptize_v your_o infant_n unless_o you_o teach_v they_o too_o you_o even_o leave_v they_o as_o you_o find_v they_o no_o more_o disciple_n of_o christ_n than_o they_o be_v before_o and_o if_o so_o have_v not_o you_o better_o still_o let_v the_o needle_n go_v before_o the_o three_o or_o teach_v before_o baptise_v than_o thus_o to_o strive_v to_o teach_v the_o world_n a_o ridiculous_a trade_n and_o take_v a_o deal_n of_o pain_n to_o no_o purpose_n though_o when_o all_o be_v do_v it_o be_v very_o plain_a from_o scripture_n that_o person_n may_v be_v make_v disciple_n of_o christ_n before_o baptism_n as_o indeed_o they_o ought_v even_o by_o this_o commission_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o that_o by_o teach_v too_o and_o then_o to_o be_v baptize_v and_o this_o be_v not_o only_o agreeable_a to_o the_o current_n of_o scripture_n in_o many_o other_o place_n but_o particular_o most_o exact_o to_o joh._n 4.1_o jesus_n make_v and_o baptize_v more_o disciple_n than_o john_n first_o make_v they_o disciple_n than_o they_o be_v baptize_v second_o you_o say_v child_n

they_o then_o certain_o they_o can_v not_o be_v such_o eight-days-old_a proselyte_n as_o you_o frequent_o baptize_v now_o sir_n we_o deny_v not_o but_o when_o christ_n be_v personal_o upon_o earth_n little_a child_n may_v either_o come_v to_o he_o or_o be_v bring_v to_o he_o upon_o divers_a occasion_n as_o well_o as_o other_o and_o so_o far_o as_o that_o very_a thing_n make_v proselyte_n of_o they_o such_o proselyte_n let_v they_o be_v who_o shall_v hinder_v it_o but_o then_o that_o act_n must_v be_v perform_v or_o else_o that_o proselytism_n have_v no_o be_v but_o now_o christ_n be_v

to_o he_o by_o faith_n repentance_n love_n etc._n etc._n let_v they_o be_v young_a or_o old_a we_o be_v so_o far_o from_o hinder_v they_o that_o we_o have_v rather_o do_v all_o we_o can_v to_o help_v

of_o proselytism_n wherein_o lie_v their_o capacity_n or_o what_o be_v it_o

which_o you_o here_o pretend_v with_o so_o much_o indignation_n to_o explode_v and_o why_o may_v not_o we_o reflect_v upon_o you_o as_o well_o as_o you_o upon_o we_o by_o tell_v you_o that_o we_o
