19.23.24_o heart-division_n p._n 19.23.24_o that_o man_n shall_v suffer_v god_n who_o they_o honour_v to_o be_v blaspheme_v 2._o to_o see_v their_o wife_n and_o child_n and_o dear_a friend_n to_o be_v

seducer_n to_o desist_v and_o ask_v they_o why_o they_o do_v so_o and_o entreat_v they_o to_o forbear_v therefore_o these_o must_v come_v under_o the_o magistrate_n restrain_v power_n 4._o then_o follow_v we_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o magistrate_n deal_v with_o they_o viz._n their_o shame_n and_o repentance_n they_o shall_v disclaim_v their_o usurp_a profession_n and_o confess_v that_o they_o

with_o the_o former_a who_o deny_v all_o infant-baptism_n the_o which_o if_o it_o be_v prove_v to_o belong_v to_o any_o infant_n it_o be_v enough_o for_o my_o purpose_n and_o the_o same_o argument_n which_o prove_v it_o to_o belong_v to_o infant_n of_o this_o or_o that_o congregation_n do_v prove_v it_o to_o belong_v to_o the_o whole_a visible_a church_n and_o their_o infant_n it_o be_v a_o vain_a pride_n and_o great_a presumption_n to_o make_v new_a condition_n of_o church-membership_a which_o god_n have_v not_o make_v and_o to_o ascribe_v to_o the_o invention_n of_o man_n a_o power_n to_o supersede_n the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n to_o cast_v both_o we_o and_o our_o infant_n out_o of_o the_o covenant_n we_o that_o be_v baptize_v into_o that_o one_o body_n if_o we_o subscribe_v not_o

shall_v content_v myself_o with_o five_o argument_n the_o first_o will_v depend_v upon_o a_o clear_a positive_a answer_n to_o another_o question_n viz._n quest_n do_v god_n make_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n only_o with_o actual_a believer_n or_o with_o they_o and_o their_o infant-seed_n do_v god_n take_v into_o covenant_n the_o parent_n with_o their_o child_n or_o the_o parent_n only_o
