from_o a_o custom_n frequent_a among_o they_o in_o the_o celecration_n of_o this_o sacrament_n the_o reason_n why_o they_o affirm_v it_o be_v because_o they_o hold_v that_o infant_n depart_v without_o baptism_n can_v be_v save_v but_o go_v into_o the_o limbus_n infantum_fw-la a_o kind_n of_o hole_n prepare_v to_o put_v child_n into_o where_o they_o suffer_v paenam_fw-la damni_fw-la but_o not_o paenam_fw-la seasus_fw-la that_o be_v they_o be_v deprive_v of_o the_o beatific_a vision_n of_o god_n though_o they_o be_v not_o under_o any_o sensible_a torment_n if_o then_o their_o election_n which_o be_v unchangeable_a and_o their_o be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n which_o belong_v to_o they_o as_o well_o as_o to_o their_o parent_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o save_v they_o because_o they_o be_v not_o baptize_v sure_o baptism_n which_o make_v they_o capable_a to_o demand_v heaven_n must_v by_o a_o physical_a virtue_n work_v those_o grace_n whereby_o they_o may_v attain_v unto_o salvation_n 2._o they_o hold_v that_o none_o can_v be_v save_v without_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o church_n and_o that_o none_o can_v be_v repute_v member_n of_o the_o church_n except_o such_o as_o have_v be_v baptize_v moreover_o their_o custom_n be_v to_o admit_v of_o the_o baptism_n of_o woman_n provide_v the_o form_n be_v observe_v in_o case_n of_o necessity_n which_o show_v how_o absolute_o necessary_a they_o esteem_v baptism_n unto_o salvation_n have_v prove_v the_o charge_n i_o shall_v demonstrate_v the_o error_n and_o first_o it_o be_v as_o certain_a that_o all_o infant_n depart_v without_o baptism_n be_v not_o deprive_v of_o the_o beatific_a vision_n as_o that_o david_n be_v save_v who_o after_o death_n be_v to_o go_v to_o his_o child_n that_o die_v without_o circumcision_n 1_o sam._n 12.18_o 23._o in_o place_n whereof_o baptism_n succeed_v as_o appear_v from_o coll._n 2.11_o 12._o and_o as_o certain_a as_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o eternal_a life_n do_v belong_v to_o infant_n which_o argument_n be_v of_o the_o same_o force_n against_o the_o anabaptist_n that_o deny_v the_o seal_n to_o infant_n to_o who_o the_o promise_n belong_v for_o which_o reason_n peter_n do_v willing_o confer_v baptism_n upon_o some_o convert_v act._n 2.38_o 39_o as_o against_o the_o papst_n that_o deny_v eternal_a life_n to_o child_n die_v without_o baptism_n although_o they_o be_v under_o the_o promise_n and_o covenant_n of_o grace_n for_o he_o that_o be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n or_o the_o promise_n be_v in_o christ_n and_o he_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n will_v certain_o be_v save_v therefore_o child_n be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o promise_n of_o life_n will_v certain_o be_v save_v act_v 2.39_o eph._n 2.12_o but_o they_o object_v this_o scripture_n except_o a_o man_n be_v bear_v of_o water_n and_o of_o the_o spirit_n he_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n joh._n 3._o ●_o whence_o they_o conclude_v that_o none_o can_v be_v save_v without_o baptism_n but_o i_o answer_v that_o nothing_o else_o be_v mean_v by_o this_o water_n and_o spirit_n but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n himself_o who_o be_v compare_v to_o water_n because_o he_o wash_v away_o our_o sin_n there_o be_v another_o expression_n like_a unto_o this_o in_o mat._n 3.11_o he_o shall_v baptize_v you_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n that_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v purge_v you_o as_o fire_n do_v gold_n seven_o time_n refine_v so_o that_o these_o expression_n be_v metaphorical_a and_o figurative_a virgil_n have_v the_o like_a expression_n pateris_fw-la libamus_fw-la &_o auro_fw-la we_o drink_v out_o of_o cup_n and_o gold_n that_o be_v out_o of_o golden_a cup_n so_o to_o be_v baptize_v with_o the_o spirit_n and_o with_o fire_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o be_v baptize_v with_o a_o fiery_a spirit_n and_o the_o same_o way_n be_v christ_n word_n concern_v water_n and_o spirit_n to_o be_v understand_v wherefore_o what_o he_o say_v here_o figurative_o by_o way_n of_o hendiadis_n he_o express_v in_o the_o three_o verse_n in_o proper_a word_n except_o a_o man_n be_v bear_v again_o he_o can_v not_o see_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n so_o that_o it_o clear_o appear_v from_o christ_n own_o exposition_n that_o here_o be_v understand_v spiritual_a regeneration_n and_o not_o the_o external_a wash_n with_o water_n in_o baptism_n 2._o we_o utter_o deny_v that_o baptism_n by_o woman_n be_v valid_a and_o not_o to_o be_v reiterated_a they_o can_v only_o allege_v the_o example_n of_o zipporah_n that_o circumcise_a her_o son_n whence_o they_o argue_v that_o a_o woman_n may_v as_o lawful_o baptise_v as_o circumcise_v i_o shall_v not_o give_v the_o answer_n that_o be_v usual_a among_o some_o divine_n viz._n that_o zipporah_n sin_v in_o so_o do_v for_o god_n never_o bless_v man_n for_o any_o sin_n as_o such_o but_o he_o do_v bless_v moses_n for_o this_o action_n of_o zipporah_n but_o i_o answer_v thus_o that_o circumcision_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v indifferent_o administer_v by_o any_o person_n by_o reason_n it_o be_v not_o so_o strict_o join_v with_o the_o ministerial_a office_n of_o preach_v as_o baptism_n be_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n go_v and_o teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o etc._n etc._n mat._n 28.19_o so_o that_o now_o it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o any_o to_o administer_v baptism_n but_o such_o as_o be_v ordain_v for_o the_o ministry_n now_o we_o shall_v proceed_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o other_o sacrament_n without_o regard_v the_o rest_n of_o their_o five_o sacrament_n that_o have_v no_o ground_n in_o the_o scripture_n nor_o the_o father_n which_o be_v the_o lord_n supper_n according_a to_o sound_a doctrine_n the_o lord_n supper_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o visible_a sign_n of_o a_o invisible_a grace_n wherein_o by_o receive_v of_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v signify_v our_o receive_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n as_o a_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o crace_n tend_v to_o our_o salvation_n we_o deny_v not_o that_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v real_o present_a in_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n but_o we_o deny_v 1._o that_o it_o be_v corporal_o present_a because_o it_o be_v circumscriptive_a and_o in_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o can_v be_v every_o where_n 2._o we_o deny_v that_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o live_n and_o the_o dead_a which_o point_n i_o shall_v chief_o insist_v upon_o as_o to_o the_o first_o the_o papist_n do_v very_o much_o urge_v their_o transubstantiation_n by_o which_o they_o understand_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o corporal_a presence_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o saviour_n under_o the_o appearance_n and_o accident_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n imagine_v that_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v turn_v to_o the_o first_o nothing_o out_o of_o which_o it_o be_v create_v and_o the_o accident_n only_o do_v remain_v which_o affect_v our_o sense_n of_o sight_n feeling_n and_o taste_v the_o falsehood_n and_o absurdity_n of_o this_o imagination_n i_o thus_o demonstrate_v 1._o neither_o the_o word_n nor_o the_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o scripture_n for_o after_o the_o consecration_n it_o be_v call_v the_o bread_n of_o which_o we_o be_v partaker_n 1_o cor._n 10.17_o now_o if_o the_o bread_n be_v annihilate_v how_o can_v we_o be_v partaker_n of_o it_o and_o moreover_o no_o papist_n will_v allow_v that_o it_o be_v call_v bread_n after_o consecration_n which_o yet_o we_o see_v the_o scripture_n do_v 2._o the_o word_n itself_o be_v new_a and_o be_v never_o hear_v of_o before_o the_o lateran_n council_n when_o berengarius_fw-la be_v force_v to_o recant_v the_o truth_n and_o fall_v into_o a_o most_o abominable_a error_n namely_o that_o christ_n body_n be_v bruise_v by_o the_o tooth_n and_o let_v down_o into_o the_o belly_n etc._n etc._n 3._o the_o word_n be_v no_o way_n adapt_v to_o the_o thing_n yea_o creation_n may_v be_v as_o well_o call_v annihilation_n as_o this_o may_v be_v call_v transubstantiation_n for_o transubstantiation_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o mutation_n or_o turn_v of_o one_o substance_n into_o another_o as_o in_o cana_n of_o galilee_n wine_n be_v turn_v into_o water_n but_o the_o papist_n say_v that_o in_o this_o case_n one_o substance_n be_v not_o turn_v into_o another_o but_o that_o the_o one_o namely_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v annihilate_v and_o the_o other_o namely_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v induce_v under_o the_o appearance_n and_o accident_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n although_o they_o have_v a_o thousand_o distinction_n here_o about_o the_o introduce_v of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n under_o these_o accident_n which_o i_o shall_v pass_v over_o so_o that_o it_o ought_v rather_o to_o be_v call_v a_o annihilation_n of_o one_o substance_n and_o introduction_n
