but_o since_o neither_o he_o nor_o you_o can_v prove_v it_o this_o to_o i_o seem_v a_o dare_a boldness_n in_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o assert_v who_o i_o hope_v be_v a_o good_a man_n god_n i_o grant_v expect_v that_o all_o true_a believer_n shall_v perform_v their_o baptismal_a covenant_n but_o then_o know_v they_o be_v require_v of_o god_n actual_o to_o enter_v into_o it_o &_o they_o free_o of_o their_o own_o choice_n enter_v into_o it_o also_o they_o be_v such_o god_n have_v give_v habitual_a grace_n to_o perform_v it_o and_o he_o have_v promise_v they_o also_o a_o far_a

will_v their_o surety_n help_v the_o matter_n for_o if_o they_o can_v perform_v those_o thing_n they_o promise_v for_o themselves_o how_o shall_v they_o be_v able_a to_o do_v it_o for_o other_o

you_o will_v force_v upon_o we_o and_o the_o world_n we_o affirm_v infant_n be_v no_o more_o capable_a of_o this_o ordinance_n than_o any_o other_o why_o do_v you_o say_v of_o no_o right_n but_o this_o we_o challenge_v all_o the_o world_n by_o god_n word_n to_o prove_v that_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o baptism_n any_o more_o than_o of_o the_o lord_n supper_n 4._o he_o say_v baptism_n
