already_o about_o his_o judgement_n upon_o this_o text_n and_o i_o think_v that_o if_o your_o master_n will_v be_v but_o ingenious_a we_o be_v agree_v but_o you_o his_o disciple_n have_v get_v another_o trick_n to_o put_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o silence_n here_o in_o this_o text_n as_o the_o proverb_n be_v seldom_o come_v a_o better_a a_o bad_a master_n and_o a_o worse_a scholar_n you_o talk_v of_o child_n being_n holy_a in_o the_o apostle_n estimation_n happy_o you_o have_v get_v that_o old_a popith_n shift_n that_o the_o papist_n be_v wont_a to_o have_v against_o paul_n writing_n they_o say_v that_o all_o paul_n writing_n be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v for_o the_o holy_a canon_n because_o paul_n say_v not_o the_o lord_n but_o i_o not_o i_o but_o the_o lord_n and_o in_o that_o you_o say_v that_o child_n be_v holy_a in_o the_o apostle_n estimation_n i_o suppose_v you_o rest_v upon_o that_o rot_a prop_n of_o popery_n and_o so_o you_o will_v have_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o have_v no_o tongue_n where_o you_o will_v have_v no_o ear_n for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n speak_v as_o well_o by_o necessary_a deduction_n as_o in_o express_a word_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v a_o tongue_n in_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o express_a letter_n but_o you_o have_v say_v enough_o you_o confess_v you_o have_v no_o example_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n where_o baptism_n be_v ever_o deny_v unto_o infant_n of_o baptize_v parent_n neither_o have_v you_o any_o command_n or_o commission_n from_o christ_n our_o only_a monarch_n and_o law_n giver_n for_o deny_v of_o baptism_n unto_o infant_n of_o baptize_v parent_n and_o therefore_o you_o do_v not_o derive_v your_o power_n from_o christ_n the_o king_n of_o the_o church_n but_o from_o the_o devil_n in_o so_o do_v thus_o i_o argue_v from_o this_o ground_n such_o as_o deny_v baptism_n unto_o person_n to_o who_o christ_n deny_v it_o not_o be_v from_o the_o devil_n and_o not_o from_o

may_v thus_o be_v prove_v irrefragable_o infant_n of_o baptize_v parent_n be_v person_n to_o who_o christ_n deny_v not_o baptism_n but_o anabaptist_n deny_v baptism_n unto_o infant_n of_o baptize_v

infant_n of_o baptize_v parent_n if_o you_o can_v bring_v no_o such_o thing_n forth_o as_o indeed_o you_o can_v then_o let_v all_o man_n know_v that_o you_o be_v from_o the_o devil_n and_o not_o from_o christ_n in_o deny_v baptism_n unto_o such_o infant_n and_o so_o you_o set_v up_o the_o devil_n and_o not_o christ_n in_o that_o practice_n for_o christ_n have_v no_o proviso_n in_o his_o commission_n for_o baptism_n wherein_o the_o infant_n of_o baptize_v parent_n be_v deny_v show_v we_o any_o place_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n where_o christ_n say_v either_o express_o or_o by_o true_a deduction_n you_o shall_v not_o baptize_v parent_n see_v then_o who_o you_o serve_v and_o whence_o you_o derive_v your_o power_n even_o from_o the_o devil_n now_o take_v the_o same_o weapon_n and_o sight_n against_o we_o and_o argue_v thus_o against_o we_o viz._n such_o as_o administer_v baptism_n unto_o person_n to_o who_o christ_n deny_v it_o be_v from_o the_o devil_n and_o not_o from_o

the_o devil_n and_o not_o from_o christ_n we_o will_v deny_v your_o minor_a proposition_n and_o you_o will_v prove_v it_o thus_o viz._n infant_n of_o baptize_v parent_n be_v person_n unto_o who_o

administer_v baptism_n unto_o person_n that_o christ_n deny_v it_o unto_o now_o the_o major_a proposition_n of_o the_o this_o late_a syllogism_n be_v false_a and_o it_o can_v possible_o be_v make_v

infant_n of_o baptize_v parent_n and_o then_o we_o will_v acknowledge_v that_o you_o have_v your_o power_n of_o debar_v infant_n of_o baptize_v parent_n from_o christ_n the_o which_o until_o you_o do_v we_o will_v look_v upon_o you_o as_o person_n that_o have_v your_o commission_n from_o the_o devil_n and_o not_o from_o christ_n and_o we_o in_o baptise_v infant_n of_o baptize_v parent_n be_v
