ease_n 3_o now_o i_o will_v give_v you_o in_o the_o reason_n but_o first_o let_v i_o lay_v some_o ground_n before_o i_o dispute_v it_o 1_o ground_n all_o infant_n be_v guilty_a of_o sin_n and_o liable_a to_o the_o guilt_n and_o curse_v and_o condemnation_n for_o sin_n they_o be_v all_o guilty_a because_o they_o be_v all_o in_o adam_n loin_n as_o in_o a_o common_a root_n and_o therefore_o they_o must_v share_v with_o he_o do_v and_o live_v do_v not_o and_o die_v spiritual_o and_o so_o he_o fall_v all_o his_o posterity_n be_v possess_v with_o original_a sin_n as_o genes_n 5._o he_o beg_v at_o a_o son_n in_o his_o own_o likeness_n what_o be_v the_o image_n of_o the_o first_o adam_n ignorance_n and_o unbelief_n and_o stubbornness_n etc._n etc._n as_o we_o have_v bear_v the_o image_n of_o the_o earthly_a so_o we_o must_v bear_v the_o image_n of_o the_o heavenly_a but_o we_o have_v bear_v the_o image_n of_o the_o earthly_a joh._n 3.6_o that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o flesh_n be_v flesh_n etc._n etc._n and_o again_o none_o can_v bring_v a_o clean_a thing_n out_o of_o a_o uncl●●●_n therefore_o child_n die_v in_o sin_n the_o curse_n be_v they_o 2_o ground_n child_n be_v guilty_a of_o sin_n and_o the_o curse_n they_o must_v be_v deliver_v but_o they_o can_v deliver_v themselves_o and_o therefore_o they_o must_v be_v deliver_v by_o another_o and_o none_o can_v deliver_v they_o but_o christ_n for_o there_o be_v no_o other_o name_n whereby_o we_o can_v be_v save_v act_v 4._o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v he_o that_o must_v save_v infant_n 3_o ground_n if_o infant_n must_v be_v save_v by_o christ_n and_o have_v a_o share_n in_o grace_n and_o glory_n than_o they_o must_v be_v unite_v unto_o christ_n for_o where_o there_o be_v no_o union_n there_o be_v no_o communion_n therefore_o if_o they_o have_v communion_n there_o must_v be_v union_n he_o that_o have_v the_o sonna_n have_v life_n and_o he_o that_o have_v not_o the_o son_n have_v not_o life_n and_o john_n 1.12_o to_o as_o many_o as_o receive_v he_o to_o they_o he_o give_v prerogative_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n even_o to_o they_o that_o believe_v on_o his_o name_n 4._o there_o be_v no_o union_n with_o christ_n without_o agreement_n of_o both_o party_n for_o if_o there_o be_v opposition_n of_o one_o party_n it_o be_v dissension_n and_o not_o union_n and_o nature_n can_v unite_v itself_o to_o christ_n and_o corruption_n will_v not_o and_o therefore_o grace_n must_v nature_n can_v 1_o cor._n 2.14_o the_o natural_a man_n understand_v not_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n neither_o can_v he_o etc._n etc._n so_o as_o nature_n can_v it_o must_v be_v a_o spiritual_a name_n and_z john_n 14.17_o christ_n promise_v to_o send_v the_o spirit_n which_o the_o world_n can_v receive_v nor_o corruption_n will_v not_o rom._n 8.7_o the_o carnal_a mind_n be_v enmity_n against_o god_n it_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n neither_o indeed_o can_v be_v the_o flesh_n will_v oppose_v but_o only_o christ_n and_o grace_n can_v but_o consent_v to_o the_o contrary_n 2_o cor._n 6.17_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v by_o grace_n and_o christ_n must_v give_v the_o grace_n by_o which_o we_o come_v to_o close_v with_o he_o if_o any_o grace_n than_o faith_n my_o faith_n before_o any_o because_o it_o be_v the_o unite_n grace_n you_o young_a one_o take_v this_o in_o child_n must_v be_v save_v by_o christ_n for_o these_o anabaptist_n will_v be_v deal_v with_o you_o they_o study_v not_o self-denial_n nor_o humility_n and_o therefore_o they_o will_v be_v deal_v with_o child_n but_o know_v faith_n be_v the_o grace_n of_o union_n if_o child_n will_v have_v glory_n they_o must_v have_v a_o share_n in_o christ_n by_o grace_n therefore_o they_o must_v have_v the_o grace_n of_o union_n that_o be_v by_o faith_n they_o must_v be_v unite_v unto_o christ_n or_o take_v it_o thus_o if_o they_o be_v unite_v unto_o christ_n they_o have_v grace_n and_o therefore_o faith_n if_o they_o be_v convert_v unto_o christ_n if_o child_n have_v communion_n they_o must_v have_v union_n but_o if_o they_o be_v elect_v they_o have_v communion_n because_o they_o shall_v be_v glorify_v if_o child_n die_v in_o their_o infancy_n that_o be_v elect_v they_o be_v convert_v real_o and_o they_o have_v faith_n wrought_v in_o they_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v a_o truth_n out_o of_o the_o scripture_n if_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v there_o be_v no_o conversion_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n conversion_n and_o faith_n be_v the_o same_o but_o they_o be_v real_o convert_v if_o they_o be_v not_o real_o convert_v than_o they_o be_v avert_v from_o god_n eternal_o unto_o sin_n they_o can_v say_v so_o for_o if_o they_o do_v they_o must_v say_v they_o be_v damn_v for_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o their_o be_v in_o heaven_n for_o if_o they_o enjoy_v god_n they_o must_v be_v convert_v think_v of_o this_o you_o that_o be_v wise_a to_o say_v a_o man_n may_v depart_v from_o god_n and_o live_v with_o god_n it_o be_v a_o profess_a contradiction_n for_o it_o be_v a_o hell_n to_o stand_v against_o god_n if_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o a_o humble_a heart_n be_v happy_a in_o hell_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v to_o say_v a_o person_n be_v save_v and_o yet_o he_o be_v damn_v all_o the_o sinful_a son_n of_o man_n that_o stand_v defile_v with_o original_a sin_n if_o god_n save_v they_o without_o faith_n than_o he_o save_v they_o in_o the_o state_n of_o unbelief_n they_o be_v unfaithful_a if_o god_n will_v save_v they_o he_o save_v and_o maintain_v they_o in_o a_o state_n of_o unbelief_n contrary_a to_o john_n 3.18_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o be_v condemn_v already_o and_o else_o where_o it_o be_v say_v he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v and_o if_o god_n save_v they_o in_o a_o state_n of_o unbelief_n than_o he_o must_v maintain_v they_o in_o a_o state_n of_o unbelief_n and_o in_o that_o estate_n he_o be_v a_o uncapable_a subject_n in_o all_o capable_a subject_n take_v away_o the_o perfection_n and_o imperfection_n will_v follow_v take_v away_o sight_n from_o the_o eye_n and_o blindness_n will_v follow_v and_o take_v faith_n from_o the_o soul_n and_o unbelief_n will_v follow_v so_o that_o if_o faith_n be_v go_v unbelief_n will_v be_v there_o but_o they_o say_v those_o place_n be_v mean_v of_o man_n of_o year_n that_o be_v but_o a_o shift_n they_o may_v say_v it_o be_v but_o mere_o affirm_v and_o we_o deny_v it_o and_o our_o deny_v all_o be_v as_o good_a as_o their_o affirmation_n but_o we_o say_v as_o the_o word_n say_v he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v and_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n for_o if_o god_n save_v they_o and_o maintain_v they_o in_o their_o unbelife_n he_o must_v save_v their_o soul_n and_o their_o sin_n and_o so_o they_o must_v carry_v their_o unbelief_n into_o heaven_n and_o if_o that_o be_v take_v away_o faith_n will_v be_v there_o and_o if_o unbelief_n be_v there_o there_o will_v be_v a_o depart_n from_o god_n as_o hebr._n 3.12_o take_v heed_n lest_o there_o be_v in_o any_o of_o you_o a_o heart_n of_o unbelief_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o depart_n from_o god_n in_o heaven_n this_o be_v a_o contradiction_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o mere_a conceit_n 5._o those_o that_o be_v accept_v with_o god_n those_o must_v have_v faith_n but_o so_o be_v elect_a child_n that_o die_v in_o their_o infancy_n hebr._n 11.4_o by_o faith_n abel_n offer_v unto_o god_n a_o more_o excellent_a sacrifice_n than_o kain_n etc._n etc._n why_o be_v god_n offend_v but_o for_o sin_n and_o it_o can_v be_v remove_v but_o by_o faith_n for_o we_o must_v have_v christ_n to_o remove_v our_o sin_n and_o if_o we_o will_v have_v christ_n we_o must_v have_v faith_n and_o as_o for_o justification_n and_o sanctification_n so_o of_o glorification_n all_o come_v by_o christ_n and_o therefore_o they_o must_v have_v faith_n or_o else_o they_o must_v come_v unclean_a into_o heaven_n but_o that_o be_v impossible_a for_o no_o unclean_a thing_n shall_v enter_v into_o heaven_n they_o must_v be_v convert_v unto_o christ_n now_o to_o the_o three_o thing_n the_o three_o branch_n be_v that_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o spirit_n infant_n be_v as_o capable_a as_o man_n i_o be_o force_v to_o speak_v thus_o because_o i_o

that_o infant_n be_v capable_a he_o answer_v in_o the_o 2_o page_n and_o the_o 12_o line_n thus_o if_o by_o be_v capable_a be_v mean_v opposition_n against_o the_o spirit_n

he_o will_v partake_v of_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o jew_n so_o in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n repentance_n be_v not_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o apostle_n dispate_o but_o repentance_n be_v the_o conclusion_n the_o covenant_n be_v to_o your_o use_n this_o be_v god_n way_n for_o you_o to_o partake_v of_o the_o seal_n it_o be_v the_o way_n both_o for_o you_o and_o you_o for_o the_o covenant_n be_v before_o the_o seal_n the_o promise_n be_v there_o make_v and_o that_o give_v a_o interest_n into_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n it_o be_v not_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o give_v right_a to_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n but_o those_o that_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n have_v right_a to_o the_o seal_n thereof_o 2_o it_o be_v confess_v by_o mr_n spilsbery_n that_o all_o who_o god_n shall_v call_v that_o have_v answer_v the_o call_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o make_v profession_n of_o their_o faith_n they_o have_v a_o title_n to_o the_o seal_n those_o that_o be_v here_o understand_v they_o pertain_v to_o such_o as_o be_v visible_o call_v but_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o word_n be_v make_v to_o they_o that_o do_v not_o answer_v the_o word_n it_o belong_v to_o they_o that_o be_v call_v the_o promise_n that_o christ_n be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n be_v make_v know_v to_o many_o that_o never_o be_v call_v but_o those_o that_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n of_o

parent_n we_o shall_v cross_v the_o letter_n of_o the_o text_n and_o the_o apostle_n who_o make_v three_o degree_n to_o you_o your_o child_n and_o those_o that_o be_v far_o off_o if_o the_o text_n run_v thus_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o you_o and_o to_o all_o that_o god_n shall_v call_v &_o that_o answer_n the_o call_n it_o cross_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o text_n for_o it_o be_v you_o and_o your_o child_n and_o as_o many_o as_o be_v afar_o off_o all_o three_o and_o therefore_o that_o interpretation_n can_v stand_v if_o a_o man_n have_v but_o a_o humble_a heart_n the_o word_n be_v so_o plain_a it_o will_v carry_v away_o the_o heart_n it_o go_v from_o parent_n to_o child_n to_o those_o that_o shall_v be_v call_v hereafter_o when_o they_o come_v in_o as_o you_o and_o your_o child_n be_v than_o they_o and_o their_o child_n shall_v have_v it_o as_o you_o and_o your_o child_n have_v it_o and_o not_o before_o now_o we_o will_v clear_v this_o from_o all_o gainsayers_a they_o say_v infant_n of_o believe_a parent_n may_v not_o receive_v it_o because_o they_o have_v not_o ability_n to_o receive_v that_o spiritual_a good_a of_o the_o seal_n or_o if_o they_o be_v able_a god_n will_v not_o have_v they_o receive_v it_o but_o neither_o of_o they_o be_v true_a or_o can_v begranted_a therefore_o they_o have_v a_o right_a to_o it_o 1._o they_o be_v capable_a to_o receive_v the_o spiritual_a good_a of_o the_o seal_n and_o that_o appear_v thus_o if_o child_n in_o abraham_n time_n be_v able_a than_o child_n be_v able_a now_o but_o the_o child_n be_v able_a then_o and_o so_o they_o be_v now_o the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o reason_n be_v most_o questionable_a mr_n spilsbery_n say_v the_o seal_n of_o baptism_n be_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n but_o that_o to_o abraham_n be_v but_o of_o outward_a privilege_n but_o consider_v what_o have_v be_v say_v before_o if_o the_o child_n now_o be_v as_o able_a as_o before_o if_o there_o be_v the_o same_o virtue_n of_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n as_o then_o &_o as_o much_o require_v then_o as_o now_o for_o it_o be_v to_o receive_v the_o good_a of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n than_o it_o must_v be_v the_o same_o now_o but_o it_o be_v christ_n that_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o child_n do_v receive_v and_o the_o covenant_n of_o abraham_n seal_v it_o the_o seal_n be_v one_o to_o they_o that_o do_v not_o believe_v as_o to_o they_o that_o do_v believe_v as_o it_o be_v to_o simon_n magus_n and_o if_o they_o abuse_v it_o it_o be_v their_o sin_n if_o they_o refist_n i_o know_v not_o how_o to_o avoid_v it_o but_o they_o have_v as_o much_o as_o we_o and_o they_o be_v as_o able_a to_o improve_v it_o god_n do_v now_o appoint_v it_o but_o to_o say_v god_n will_v not_o have_v they_o have_v it_o be_v to_o impeach_v his_o care_n to_o bring_v they_o into_o covenant_n and_o not_o be_v willing_a they_o shall_v receive_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o if_o not_o he_o shall_v be_v willing_a to_o cross_v his_o fatherly_a love_n in_o christ_n but_o christ_n he_o bless_v his_o child_n and_o bring_v they_o to_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o he_o will_v deny_v they_o no_o ordinance_n that_o may_v serve_v to_o that_o end_n if_o it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o child_n to_o be_v baptize_v now_o than_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n be_v of_o less_o force_n than_o it_o be_v before_o or_o of_o less_o extent_n but_o that_o be_v sinful_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o error_n to_o say_v so_o either_o that_o it_o be_v of_o less_o force_n or_o of_o less_o extent_n or_o to_o say_v that_o now_o it_o be_v to_o man_n only_o the_o two_o part_n be_v plain_a that_o it_o be_v not_o of_o less_o force_n or_o of_o less_o extent_n than_o it_o be_v before_o 2_o '_o pet._n 1.19_o we_o
