call_v surname_n christian_a name_n but_o object_v what_o be_o i_o better_v much_o if_o thou_o have_v wit_n or_o grace_n thy_o two_o name_n put_v thou_o in_o mind_n of_o thy_o two_o nature_n and_o with_o rebesca_n that_o there_o be_v two_o struggle_v within_o the_o womb_n of_o thy_o heart_n nature_n and_o grace_n old_a man_n new_a man_n the_o flesh_n the_o spirit_n yea_o thy_o surname_n put_v thou_o in_o mind_n of_o thy_o sinful_a generation_n thy_o christian_a name_n of_o thy_o spiritual_a regenration_n by_o the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n thus_o while_o the_o one_o make_v i_o fear_v the_o other_o put_v i_o in_o hope_n while_o the_o one_o tell_v i_o i_o be_o of_o a_o sinful_a seed_n and_o to_o suffer_v and_o the_o other_o comfort_v i_o assure_v i_o i_o be_o a_o member_n of_o christ_n jesus_n 2._o the_o second_o good_a get_v be_v record_v gal._n 3.27_o i_o can_v assure_v you_o it_o be_v a_o very_a comfortable_a place_n and_o a_o spur_n to_o prick_v every_o christian_a on_o to_o baptize_v their_o young_a one_o the_o word_n be_v these_o you_o who_o be_v baptize_v have_v put_v on_o christ_n you_o be_v happen_v with_o he_o as_o with_o a_o garment_n he_o be_v the_o

and_o hence_o say_v our_o saviour_n except_o you_o be_v bear_v again_o of_o water_n and_o the_o spirit_n you_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n the_o baptism_n of_o water_n assure_v the_o visible_a church_n that_o you_o be_v make_v member_n of_o christ_n congregation_n here_o the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n when_o you_o be_v of_o ripe_a year_n assert_n you_o shall_v be_v

when_o i_o scornful_o neglect_v what_o proffer_v by_o god_n church_n what_o hope_n have_v i_o to_o attain_v that_o without_o which_o i_o can_v come_v to_o god_n kingdom_n since_o you_o can_v enter_v into_o god_n kingdom_n except_o you_o be_v bear_v of_o water_n and_o the_o spirit_n let_v we_o use_v the_o water_n lest_o we_o deprive_v ourselves_o of_o the_o hope_n we_o have_v to_o acquire_v god_n spirit_n the_o word_n record_v by_o the_o evangelist_n be_v speak_v to_o all_o of_o all_o sex_n age_n and_o since_o the_o major_a part_n be_v youngling_n there_o be_v more_o child_n than_o man_n let_v not_o we_o disinherit_v so_o many_o infant_n to_o humour_v a_o few_o heretic_n hinder_v not_o your_o child_n from_o baptism_n for_o not_o have_v the_o perfect_a use_n of_o reason_n since_o we_o be_v unsure_a whether_o theelder_n believe_v but_o only_o by_o professiion_n it_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v at_o one_o instant_a we_o may_v be_v baptize_v flumine_fw-la flamine_fw-la with_o water_n and_o the_o spirit_n but_o the_o age_a may_v receive_v the_o first_o want_v the_o latter_a let_v we_o then_o who_o have_v pray_v for_o the_o infant_n that_o he_o may_v receive_v the_o latter_a not_o debar_v he_o from_o the_o former_a the_o catholic_n church_n way_n be_v a_o safe_a way_n to_o walk_v in_o and_o who_o so_o obstinate_o scorn_v baptism_n have_v small_a hope_n that_o the_o spirit_n will_v land_n at_o the_o haven_n his_o heart_n nay_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v that_o he_o shall_v never_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n as_o none_o in_o rome_n can_v enter_v into_o the_o temple_n of_o honour_n but_o first_o go_v through_o the_o temple_n of_o virtue_n so_o none_o can_v be_v admit_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n but_o such_o who_o first_o have_v have_v admitttance_n into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n and_o this_o sacrament_n be_v the_o ordinary_a key_n which_o open_v your_o child_n the_o door_n that_o they_o may_v enter_v in_o by_o and_o may_v rest_v assure_v this_o water_n baptism_n take_v away_o the_o mulct_n though_o not_o the_o guilt_n the_o blame_n though_o not_o the_o stain_n and_o that_o the_o infant_n baptize_v who_o die_v before_o it_o have_v usum_fw-la

i_o come_v to_o the_o six_o and_o last_o thing_n to_o be_v discuss_v upon_o whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o baptize_v infant_n in_o discourse_v upon_o this_o controversy_n i_o shall_v first_o set_v down_o the_o adversary_n argument_n against_o baptism_n and_o by_o the_o help_n of_o my_o god_n the_o answer_n to_o every_o of_o they_o then_o give_v you_o my_o reason_n why_o infant_n ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v last_o show_v you_o the_o punishment_n have_v be_v enact_v to_o be_v inflict_v upon_o anabaptist_n and_o because_o this_o age_n be_v desirous_a to_o read_v much_o in_o few_o line_n therefore_o i_o will_v rather_o offer_v the_o courteous_a reader_n matter_n then_o word_n and_o as_o much_o as_o i_o can_v match_n solidity_n and_o brevity_n both_o together_o and_o with_o the_o one_o win_v the_o ear_n of_o the_o more_o judicious_a and_o by_o the_o other_o prove_v myself_o not_o much_o to_o prejudice_v such_o as_o have_v high_a employment_n the_o anabaptist_n the_o more_o hopeful_o to_o lay_v their_o foundation_n against_o infant_n baptism_n have_v first_o cunning_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v rebaptise_v lawful_a which_o block_n i_o purpose_v to_o remove_v out_o of_o our_o way_n that_o so_o we_o may_v the_o better_o answer_v all_o they_o object_n against_o baptise_v infant_n to_o countenance_v their_o cause_n they_o labour_v to_o prove_v out_o of_o the_o act_n that_o those_o who_o john_n baptize_v that_o have_v not_o hear_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n paul_n again_o baptize_v to_o this_o hear_v what_o st._n augustine_n say_v discipulos_fw-la joannis_n iterum_fw-la baptizatos_fw-la fuisse_fw-la non_fw-la iterato_fw-la baptismate_fw-la for_o as_o philip_n melancton_n say_v joannis_n baptismum_fw-la the_o baptism_n of_o john_n be_v signum_fw-la mortificationis_fw-la christi_fw-la baptismum_fw-la signum_fw-la vivificationis_fw-la for_o to_o christ_n be_v add_v condonatio_fw-la peccatorum_fw-la &_o oportuit_fw-la iterum_fw-la baptizari_fw-la qui_fw-la joannis_n baptismo_fw-la loti_fw-la erant_fw-la quo_fw-la certi_fw-la essent_fw-la se_fw-la jam_fw-la consecutos_fw-la esse_fw-la remissionem_fw-la peccatorum_fw-la to_o christ_n baptism_n be_v add_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o it_o be_v most_o might_n and_o right_a for_o those_o who_o be_v wash_v with_o johns_n baptism_n to_o receive_v also_o christ_n baptism_n that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v insure_v of_o remission_n of_o sin_n by_o be_v baptize_v into_o the_o faith_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n the_o anabaptist_n let_v he_o produce_v any_o so_o baptize_v by_o john_n and_o we_o shall_v not_o refuse_v they_o christ_n baptism_n till_o such_o a_o one_o be_v produce_v this_o argument_n must_v be_v shoulder_v out_o we_o have_v not_o now_o to_o do_v either_o with_o the_o novatian_o who_o be_v admit_v into_o the_o church_n without_o any_o new_a baptism_n or_o yet_o with_o the_o heretic_n spring_v from_o the_o corrupt_a lung_n of_o samosatenus_fw-la who_o be_v exclude_v from_o be_v member_n of_o the_o church_n catholic_n till_o anew_o baptize_v because_o they_o deny_v fundamental_n but_o with_o anabaptist_n who_o will_v allow_v no_o infant_n to_o be_v baptize_v and_o yet_o this_o heresy_n the_o very_a heretic_n call_v the_o donatist_n and_o pelagian_o cry_v down_o it_o be_v at_o least_o a_o thousand_o year_n since_o this_o execrable_a tenet_n spring_v up_o and_o the_o new_a fomenter_n of_o it_o in_o germany_n be_v nicholas_n stock_n john_n of_o leiden_fw-mi and_o knipperdolin_n but_o now_o it_o be_v ferry_v over_o into_o england_n
