An essay tending to issue the controversie about infant baptism from the parity, at least, of Scripture-light concerning infant-baptim [sic] with that of women's being admitted to the Lord's Supper, shewing that there is as good grounds out of Scripture for the one as for the other : occasioned by a tender made by H.D. in his late book against infant-baptism who is willing to put the whole controversie concerning it, upon this issue : together with an answer to the most material things in that book /

example_n you_o bring_v be_v out_o of_o act._n 1.14_o we_o read_v say_v you_o that_o mary_n and_o other_o woman_n be_v gather_v together_o and_o that_o these_o woman_n with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o

express_o say_v that_o all_o that_o believe_v be_v together_o you_o take_v this_o to_o be_v a_o evident_a example_n that_o woman_n receive_v the_o lord_n supper_n therefore_o that_o there_o be_v ground_n in_o scripture_n to_o admit_v they_o but_o that_o there_o be_v not_o the_o like_a example_n of_o any_o infant_n that_o have_v be_v baptise_a in_o answer_n to_o which_o i_o shall_v first_o premise_v four_o thing_n in_o general_a and_o then_o answer_v more_o particular_o 1._o i_o be_o not_o against_o inchurched-women's-receiving_a the_o lord_n supper_n any_o more_o than_o against_o inchurched-man_n but_o do_v believe_v they_o have_v a_o equal_a right_n unto_o it_o whil_n they_o continue_v in_o a_o right_a estate_n in_o the_o church_n but_o 2._o this_o example_n that_o you_o bring_v and_o the_o command_n also_o as_o afterward_o i_o shall_v show_v be_v not_o express_v nor_o so_o clear_a as_o you_o make_v it_o to_o be_v 3._o that_o there_o be_v as_o much_o room_n for_o objection_n against_o it_o as_o there_o be_v for_o objection_n against_o the_o baptise_v of_o infant_n as_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v make_v appear_v and_o that_o there_o be_v as_o much_o evidence_n and_o clearness_n for_o the_o latter_a as_o you_o judge_v to_o be_v for_o the_o former_a 4._o all_o the_o evidence_n that_o your_o example_n and_o command_n will_v afford_v you_o for_o woman_n receive_n the_o lord_n supper_n you_o must_v deduce_v by_o way_n of_o consequence_n and_o that_o very_o dark_o too_o from_o what_o you_o bring_v and_o if_o so_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v use_v the_o same_o candour_n integrity_n and_o right_a reason_n in_o allow_v what_o will_v rational_o follow_v from_o the_o scripture_n that_o shall_v be_v produce_v for_o the_o baptise_v of_o inchurched-infant_n veniam_fw-la dabimus_fw-la petimusque_fw-la vicissim_fw-la now_o more_o particular_o to_o your_o example_n 1._o it_o be_v not_o here_o expresly-said_a that_o these_o woman_n be_v believer_n act._n 1.14_o but_o you_o must_v gather_v it_o by_o consequence_n from_o this_o and_o other_o scripture_n compare_v together_o 2._o that_o this_o assembly_n be_v not_o the_o same_o that_o be_v not_o
