the_o signification_n they_o can_v take_v it_o in_o so_o far_o as_o to_o affect_v their_o heart_n with_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o therefore_o all_o such_o power_n upon_o their_o actual_a

be_v the_o like_a difference_n between_o man_n of_o year_n and_o infant_n in_o that_o and_o yet_o this_o do_v not_o hinder_v god_n end_n in_o that_o ordinance_n nor_o do_v it_o prejudice_v the_o

for_o this_o be_v extraordinary_a and_o beyond_o the_o part_n of_o a_o child_n that_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o 2_o yet_o in_o regard_n of_o god_n it_o be_v his_o ordinary_a course_n and_o certain_o he_o do_v work_v faith_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o elect_a infant_n that_o die_v in_o their_o infancy_n do_v not_o stumble_v that_o i_o use_v the_o phrase_n of_o ordinary_a and_o extraordinary_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o party_n and_o mean_n it_o be_v ordinary_a with_o god_n for_o we_o may_v see_v it_o so_o in_o other_o work_n of_o god_n as_o in_o the_o work_n of_o vocation_n there_o be_v a_o infusion_n of_o a_o spiritual_a principle_n into_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v beyond_o all_o the_o ability_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o any_o man_n to_o bring_v it_o into_o his_o own_o

into_o the_o soul_n so_o it_o be_v god_n ordinary_a way_n to_o put_v faith_n into_o a_o infant_n that_o be_v elect_v and_o die_v a_o infant_n as_o for_o instance_n there_o be_v many_o revelation_n of_o god_n every_o revelation_n be_v a_o revelation_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o it_o be_v according_a to_o the_o word_n now_o although_o it_o be_v extraordinary_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n reveal_v yet_o it_o be_v ordinary_a with_o god_n now_o this_o come_v to_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o cause_n therefore_o in_o this_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o do_v three_o thing_n 1_o to_o open_a the_o meaning_n and_o state_n the_o question_n how_o god_n do_v put_v faith_n into_o infant_n 2_o that_o it_o shall_v not_o seem_v hard_a nor_o man_n shall_v not_o think_v it_o hard_o to_o say_v god_n work_v in_o this_o manner_n 3_o we_o will_v give_v you_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o 1_o in_o the_o meaning_n of_o it_o the_o secrecy_n of_o god_n do_v drive_v man_n to_o much_o trouble_n it_o be_v like_o a_o unbeaten_a way_n to_o the_o seaman_n they_o must_v sound_v every_o part_n of_o it_o 1_o some_o think_v it_o be_v keep_v in_o his_o own_o secret_a will_n 2_o some_o think_v the_o spirit_n do_v work_v it_o 3_o some_o think_v god_n put_v in_o a_o seed_n of_o faith_n 4_o some_o think_v there_o be_v a_o habit_n of_o faith_n put_v into_o the_o soul_n 5_o some_o think_v god_n do_v pour_v faith_n into_o the_o heart_n of_o infant_n that_o die_v in_o infancy_n that_o be_v elect_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v convert_v and_o put_v into_o christ_n this_o be_v the_o main_a truth_n of_o the_o question_n god_n do_v pour_v it_o into_o the_o soul_n and_o so_o the_o soul_n be_v convert_v and_o plant_v into_o christ_n as_o the_o head_n of_o the_o covenant_n this_o be_v the_o state_n of_o the_o controversy_n and_o this_o i_o shall_v labour_v to_o strengthen_v 2_o second_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v strange_a nor_o need_v not_o to_o be_v count_v hard_o to_o any_o judicious_a christian_a to_o assent_v to_o this_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o there_o be_v a_o work_n alike_o in_o a_o parity_n to_o that_o which_o be_v daily_o express_v in_o the_o course_n of_o god_n providence_n and_o be_v acknowledge_v by_o all_o judicious_a without_o doubt_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o why_o may_v he_o not_o do_v the_o like_a in_o this_o that_o there_o be_v a_o like_a work_n and_o that_o it_o be_v acknowledge_v appear_v thus_o it_o be_v a_o confess_a truth_n that_o the_o lord_n do_v infuse_v a_o soul_n into_o the_o body_n and_o the_o soul_n be_v pure_a and_o holy_a as_o it_o come_v from_o he_o otherwise_o god_n must_v be_v the_o author_n of_o sin_n yet_o through_o the_o sin_n and_o guilt_n of_o adam_n the_o soul_n be_v turn_v from_o god_n and_o be_v possess_v with_o original_a sin_n and_o so_o sin_n and_o guilt_n be_v impute_v and_o the_o curse_n just_o inflict_v and_o the_o soul_n be_v thus_o whole_o turn_v from_o god_n it_o be_v whole_o possess_v with_o original_a corruption_n it_o be_v a_o delusion_n to_o say_v the_o soul_n be_v propagate_v gen._n 5.3_o adam_n beg_v at_o a_o son_n in_o his_o own_o image_n be_v whole_o turn_v from_o god_n and_o turn_v to_o sin_n and_o john_n 3.6_o that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o flash_n be_v flesh_n all_o come_v from_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n now_o mark_v if_o this_o be_v so_o that_o the_o sin_n &_o guilt_n of_o adam_n be_v thus_o convey_v and_o the_o guilt_n &_o curse_n this_o be_v do_v daily_o though_o we_o see_v not_o the_o manner_n how_o it_o be_v do_v then_o why_o may_v not_o christ_n convey_v grace_n turn_v the_o heart_n of_o a_o child_n from_o sin_n to_o himself_o the_o party_n be_v the_o same_o as_o before_o and_o look_v to_o the_o cause_n and_o it_o be_v great_a in_o the_o latter_a then_o in_o the_o former_a if_o we_o look_v at_o christ_n there_o be_v a_o advantage_n in_o reason_n to_o believe_v the_o latter_a rather_o than_o the_o former_a and_o why_o shall_v it_o be_v think_v a_o thing_n incredible_a see_v the_o first_o adam_n can_v turn_v away_o the_o soul_n from_o god_n but_o that_o christ_n by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o merit_n may_v convert_v infant_n to_o himself_o and_o why_o then_o shall_v it_o be_v incredible_a now_o one_o of_o these_o be_v do_v from_o day_n to_o day_n and_o none_o doubt_v of_o it_o i_o mean_v the_o first_o and_o the_o second_o we_o have_v more_o advantage_n to_o believe_v because_o the_o second_o adam_n be_v above_o the_o first_o and_o why_o then_o shall_v not_o the_o second_o adam_n be_v as_o ready_o assent_v unto_o as_o the_o first_o but_o every_o man_n be_v force_v to_o yield_v the_o first_o that_o be_v judicious_a let_v we_o not_o doubt_v the_o second_o one_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v note_v in_o mr_n spilsbery_n book_n in_o the_o 12_o page_n 19_o line_n from_o the_o end_n where_o he_o say_v the_o word_n condemn_v none_o but_o for_o actual_a sin_n if_o he_o mean_v as_o he_o must_v needs_o do_v no_o man_n be_v condemn_v but_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o party_n itself_o it_o be_v a_o gross_a error_n rom._n 5.12_o for_o as_o by_o one_o man_n sin_n entredinto_o the_o world_n and_o death_n by_o sin_n etc._n etc._n and_o so_o in_o the_o 8_o verse_n if_o by_o the_o fin_n of_o one_o man_n judgement_n come_v upon_o all_o then_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n god_n may_v just_o condemn_v all_o though_o they_o never_o commit_v actual_a sin_n be_v the_o judgement_n of_o all_o that_o be_v judicious_a death_n over_o spread_v all_o by_o adam_n sin_n and_o therefore_o we_o see_v in_o infant_n that_o die_v adam_n sin_n be_v actual_a and_o let_v he_o shift_v what_o he_o can_v the_o case_n be_v clear_a and_o the_o word_n condemn_v man_n for_o original_a sin_n the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n so_o original_a sin_n it_o be_v the_o rebel_n against_o the_o law_n of_o out_o mind_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v sin_n and_o to_o say_v the_o contrary_a be_v a_o gross_a fulsome_a error_n mark_v when_o such_o error_n come_v from_o the_o pen_n of_o man_n it_o show_v there_o be_v more_o behind_o and_o he_o must_v say_v either_o original_a sin_n be_v no_o sin_n or_o that_o infant_n have_v no_o original_a sin_n and_o if_o he_o say_v so_o then_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o heathen_a can_v hinder_v but_o that_o all_o their_o child_n that_o die_v must_v be_v save_v if_o you_o look_v in_o the_o forename_a place_n in_o his_o book_n you_o may_v find_v it_o i_o speak_v it_o that_o man_n that_o have_v the_o book_n may_v find_v it_o and_o let_v no_o man_n think_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v strange_a see_v the_o like_a be_v do_v that_o you_o may_v see_v with_o

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
