redeem_v only_a believer_n and_o none_o else_o as_o be_v manifest_a but_o all_o man_n whatsoever_o be_v not_o believer_n therefore_o christ_n do_v not_o by_o his_o death_n redeem_v all_o man_n

whatsoever_o give_v it_o what_o name_n they_o will_v than_o he_o satisfy_v justice_n for_o all_o man_n sin_n whatsoever_o but_o the_o consequent_a be_v most_o false_a and_o absurd_a therefore_o so_o

of_o church-membership_n and_o not_o because_o they_o be_v not_o bastard_n for_o so_o the_o child_n of_o mere_a pagan_n may_v as_o well_o have_v be_v call_v holy_a but_o because_o they_o be_v descend_v of_o believe_a parent_n though_o but_o on_o the_o one_o side_n which_o be_v the_o very_a reason_n that_o he_o give_v in_o the_o text_n why_o they_o be_v holy_a three_o i_o must_v premise_v that_o circumcision_n be_v the_o initiate_a seal_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n which_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o early_a administration_n thereof_o upon_o the_o eight_o day_n and_o that_o by_o divine_a appointment_n gen._n 17._o have_v premise_v these_o thing_n i_o prove_v my_o conclusion_n first_o child_n of_o believer_n be_v by_o a_o divine_a right_o circumcise_a under_o the_o old_a testament_n but_o baptism_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v succeed_v in_o the_o room_n of_o circumcision_n under_o the_o old_a therefore_o the_o child_n of_o believer_n ought_v to_o be_v

which_o i_o prove_v first_o because_o they_o both_o seal_v the_o very_a same_o thing_n and_o second_o because_o as_o circumcision_n be_v the_o initiate_a seal_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n so_o be_v baptism_n under_o the_o new_a that_o they_o both_o seal_v the_o same_o thing_n be_v clear_a by_o compare_v rom._n 4.11_o with_o mark_n 1.4_o act._n 2.38_o where_o circumcision_n be_v declare_v
