his_o book_n of_o election_n but_o see_v they_o be_v all_o call_v holy_a child_n without_o exception_n our_o duty_n be_v to_o hope_v well_o of_o they_o all_o and_o dedicate_v they_o all_o unto_o god_n in_o the_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n and_o believe_v and_o pray_v for_o they_o all_o as_o if_o they_o be_v all_o elect_v and_o we_o do_v know_v it_o as_o long_o as_o we_o do_v not_o know_v any_o

to_o their_o parent_n knowledge_n as_o if_o they_o be_v elect_v in_o the_o 1_o cor._n 7.14_o thus_o i_o have_v prove_v splendent_o that_o the_o infant-seed_n of_o believer_n be_v in_o covenant_n and_o

infant-seed_n of_o believer_n be_v the_o proper_a subject_n of_o baptism_n not_o to_o exclude_v adult_a proselyte_n and_o in_o prove_v this_o i_o shall_v answer_v all_o mr._n b._n k_n twenty_o seven_o

that_o there_o be_v a_o command_n from_o our_o saviour_n christ_n for_o the_o baptise_v young_a infant_n 2._o there_o be_v undeniable_a example_n for_o it_o 3._o i_o shall_v prove_v it_o from_o the_o

believer_n above_o all_o other_o man_n child_n in_o the_o world_n 1._o there_o be_v a_o positive_a command_n for_o the_o baptise_v of_o infant_n as_o well_o as_o of_o other_o in_o christ_n commission_n in_o mat._n 28.19_o 20._o go_v and_o disciple_v all_o nation_n that_o be_v baptise_v they_o for_o if_o you_o observe_v teach_v come_v after_o go_v and_o disciple_v all_o nation_n make_v they_o disciple_n by_o baptism_n now_o either_o child_n be_v no_o part_n of_o a_o nation_n or_o else_o there_o be_v no_o child_n in_o all_o these_o nation_n to_o who_o christ_n send_v his_o apostle_n

be_v a_o great_a part_n of_o a_o nation_n and_o for_o any_o to_o imagine_v that_o there_o be_v no_o child_n in_o all_o these_o nation_n be_v ridiculous_a and_o therefore_o child_n be_v include_v in_o this_o commission_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o so_o they_o come_v under_o the_o power_n and_o authority_n of_o christ_n positive_a command_n to_o be_v baptize_v 2._o they_o object_n child_n must_v be_v teach_v before_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v and_o child_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o be_v teach_v and_o therefore_o not_o capable_a of_o baptism_n pray_v hear_v what_o god_n say_v in_o isa_n 59.21_o as_o for_o i_o this_o be_v my_o covenant_n with_o they_o say_v the_o lord_n my_o spirit_n that_o be_v upon_o thou_o and_o my_o word_n which_o i_o have_v put_v in_o thy_o mouth_n shall_v not_o

be_v to_o some_o of_o all_o age_n and_o sect_n of_o the_o rational_a be_v therefore_o child_n be_v concern_v in_o this_o command_n as_o be_v a_o very_a great_a part_n of_o the_o rational_a be_v and_o they_o have_v a_o great_a benefit_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o benefit_n lie_v principal_o in_o their_o parent_n be_v so_o discipline_v and_o teach_v as_o to_o be_v make_v

have_v a_o right_n to_o the_o holy_a discipline_n viz._n water-baptism_n the_o initiate_a seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n 3._o and_o last_o there_o be_v a_o command_n for_o child_n to_o hear_v the_o
