A43469	Some plain letters in the defence of infant baptism and of the mode of baptizing (now generally used in the Church of England), which may serve, for a confutation of a small treatise entituled The reason why not infant-sprinkling, but believers-baptism ought to be approved, &c.

lord_n have_v tell_v we_o that_o that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o flesh_n be_v flesh_n sinful_a flesh_n of_o sinful_a flesh_n john_n 3.6_o and_o there_o he_o also_o teach_v we_o that_o what_o

dr._n fuller_n have_v observe_v that_o the_o great_a cause_n of_o man_n mistake_n in_o this_o matter_n be_v this_o they_o make_v the_o body_n the_o standard_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o be_v apt_a to_o

we_o become_v man_n which_o be_v a_o very_a gross_a mistake_n indeed_o for_o our_o soul_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o any_o such_o growth_n but_o as_o to_o that_o be_v the_o very_a same_o when_o first_o infuse_v into_o our_o body_n that_o they_o be_v ever_o after_o the_o same_o in_o our_o infancy_n that_o they_o be_v in_o our_o old_a age_n and_o therefore_o why_o our_o soul_n which_o as_o to_o

thereby_o let_v they_o give_v you_o a_o reason_n who_o can_v find_v out_o a_o reason_n to_o give_v for_o i_o can_v find_v none_o but_o some_o there_o be_v who_o will_v not_o yet_o believe_v the_o spirit_n of_o sanctification_n to_o be_v in_o infant_n no_o not_o in_o baptise_a infant_n because_o they_o can_v see_v no_o sign_n or_o expression_n of_o it_o to_o which_o i_o far_o answer_v with_o the_o admire_a bishop_n taylor_n that_o it_o be_v no_o good_a argument_n to_o say_v here_o be_v no_o seed_n in_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n because_o there_o be_v nothing_o green_a upon_o the_o

when_o infant_n be_v graft_v into_o christ_n by_o baptism_n and_o make_v member_n of_o that_o true_a vine_n as_o he_o call_v himself_o john_n 15.1_o they_o be_v thereby_o make_v partaker_n of_o a_o
