man_n therefore_o they_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o receive_v the_o outward_a sign_n of_o baptism_n the_o major_a proposition_n that_o they_o who_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o inward_a grace_n

withstand_v god_n and_o this_o be_v so_o clear_a that_o the_o most_o learned_a of_o the_o anabaptist_n do_v ready_o grant_v that_o if_o they_o know_v any_o infant_n to_o have_v receive_v the_o inward_a grace_n they_o dare_v not_o deny_v they_o the_o outward_a sign_n and_o that_o the_o particular_a infant_n who_o christ_n take_v up_o in_o his_o arm_n and_o bless_a may_v have_v be_v baptize_v the_o question_n between_o we_o be_v whether_o the_o infant_n of_o believer_n universal_o or_o indifferent_o be_v to_o be_v admit_v to_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n according_a to_o ordinary_a

with_o christ_n adoption_n forgiveness_n of_o sin_n regeneration_n and_o everlasting_a life_n for_o than_o they_o be_v all_o sanctify_a and_o be_v all_o believer_n and_o if_o this_o can_v be_v prove_v there_o will_v be_v no_o question_n about_o paedobaptism_n the_o text_n act._n 8.37_o act._n 10.47_o act._n 11.17_o will_v undeniable_o prove_v it_o and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o

concern_v which_o the_o antipaedobaptist_n do_v so_o ready_o grant_v the_o major_a but_o a_o potential_a have_v or_o as_o you_o after_o speak_v be_v capable_a of_o the_o inward_a grace_n and_o so_o you_o use_v the_o fallacy_n of_o equivocation_n in_o the_o major_n have_v be_v understand_v of_o actual_a have_v and_o in_o the_o minor_a of_o potential_a which_o make_v four_o term_n and_o so_o the_o syllogism_n be_v naught_o or_o if_o you_o do_v mean_a in_o both_o actual_a have_v you_o mean_v it_o only_o of_o some_o infant_n of_o believer_n not_o of_o all_o of_o who_o the_o question_n be_v and_o so_o your_o conclusion_n be_v but_o particular_a that_o some_o infant_n of_o believer_n who_o be_v sanctify_v actual_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v but_o this_o will_v not_o reach_v home_o to_o your_o

to_o baptism_n be_v a_o position_n that_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o deliver_v and_o enwrap_v sundry_a error_n which_o i_o now_o omit_v because_o it_o come_v in_o only_a upon_o the_o by_o but_o
