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 thing_n to_o the_o contrary_n but_o god_n have_v put_v all_o the_o infant-seed_n of_o believer_n in_o their_o infancy_n now_o under_o the_o gospel_n into_o the_o balance_n alike_o with_o a_o respect_n 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 be_v the_o proper_a subject_n of_o baptism_n not_o exclude_v adult_n proselyte_n by_o which_o i_o have_v full_o answer_v all_o the_o argument_n that_o ever_o be_v raise_v against_o it_o and_o also_o mr._n b._n k_n book_n in_o particular_a as_o much_o as_o if_o i_o have_v confute_v they_o argument_n by_o argument_n v._o and_o last_o mr._n b._n k._n have_v labour_v hard_a to_o prove_v that_o the_o

topping_n argument_n to_o prove_v it_o to_o be_v so_o be_v that_o they_o be_v a_o natural_a church_n and_o the_o church_n under_o the_o gospel_n be_v congregational_a therefore_o my_o business_n be_v to_o prove_v the_o contrary_a and_o i_o shall_v pursue_v this_o method_n viz._n 1._o i_o shall_v prove_v that_o the_o church_n be_v of_o the_o same_o form_n and_o mettle_n substantial_o now_o as_o

i_o say_v i_o have_v look_v and_o behold_v a_o candlestick_n all_o of_o gold_n etc._n etc._n second_o the_o new_a testament_n rev._n 1.20_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o seven_o star_n which_o thou_o

the_o form_n use_v and_o mettle_n be_v the_o same_o suppose_v a_o man_n have_v a_o tree_n in_o his_o orchard_n that_o have_v but_o one_o branch_n upon_o it_o and_o that_o be_v decay_v and_o he_o cut_v

which_o be_v 430_o year_n before_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n and_o it_o be_v the_o same_o as_o it_o be_v in_o adam_n time_n gen._n 3.15_o on_o this_o promise_n the_o foundation_n or_o church-state_n

and_o give_v to_o a_o nation_n bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n thereof_o now_o if_o this_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v not_o the_o church-state_n in_o which_o all_o the_o jew_n than_o be_v pray_v tell_v

21.43_o rom._n 11.17_o but_o the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n be_v the_o same_o and_o be_v unalterable_a 3._o there_o be_v the_o seven_o church_n of_o asia_n dissolve_v but_o that_o do_v not_o
