A76816	A moderate ansvver to these two questions 1. Whether ther [sic] be sufficient ground in Scripture to warrant the conscience of a Christian to present his infants to the sacrament of baptism. 2. Whether it be not sinfull for a Christian to receiv [sic] the sacrament in a mixt assembly. Prepared for the resolution of a friend, and now presented to the publick view of all, for the satisfaction of them who desire to walk in the ancient and long-approved way of truth and holiness.

of_o what_o have_v be_v teach_v they_o and_o so_o it_o will_v be_v too_o weak_a a_o argument_n to_o prove_v that_o universal_a proposition_n and_o much_o less_o to_o draw_v on_o the_o desire_a
