that_o covenant_n to_o abraham_n and_o to_o the_o nation_n he_o give_v withal_o a_o commandment_n 17.12_o gen._n 17.12_o that_o the_o initial_a mark_n of_o the_o covenant_n shall_v be_v set_v upon_o

he_o repeal_v not_o that_o commandment_n nay_o 28.19_o mat._n 28.19_o he_o add_v a_o new_a commandment_n enjoin_v the_o new_a sign_n baptism_n to_o be_v give_v to_o all_o nation_n without_o exception_n of_o any_o person_n former_o receive_v into_o covenant_n so_o that_o we_o be_v under_o a_o twofold_a commandment_n to_o baptise_v our_o infant_n one_o of_o god_n who_o first_o make_v the_o

that_o by_o the_o old_a commandment_n enjoin_v infant_n to_o be_v mark_v and_o by_o christ_n new_a commandment_n enjoin_v baptism_n to_o be_v that_o mark_n all_o that_o be_v not_o except_v out_o of_o the_o covenant_n stand_v bind_v to_o recei_fw-mi it_o in_o like_a manner_n as_o the_o four_o commandment_n injoin_v one_o day_n of_o seven_o for_o a_o holy_a rest_n to_o the_o lord_n do_v bind_v we_o to_o observe_v our_o lordsday_n the_o commandment_n stand_v of_o force_n though_o the_o first_o day_n be_v change_v so_o the_o commandment_n for_o sign_v of_o the_o nation_n who_o god_n receive_v into_o covenant_n and_o their_o seed_n do_v still_o oblige_v we_o to_o set_v the_o new_a seal_n upon_o they_o especial_o see_v we_o be_v again_o command_v by_o christ_n so_o to_o do_v without_o any_o exception_n of_o infant_n hence_o i_o thus_o argue_v argument_n 1_o all_o that_o be_v take_v into_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n aught_o to_o receiv_v the_o judicial_a sign_n of_o the_o covenant_n what_o ever_o the_o sign_n be_v that_o god_n shall_v choose_v and_o that_o according_a to_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n and_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o infant_n be_v take_v into_o covenant_n with_o their_o parent_n as_o be_v prove_v therefore_o by_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n they_o ought_v to_o recev_n the_o sign_n which_o god_n have_v enjoin_v to_o be_v use_v and_o that_o sign_n be_v baptism_n or_o thus_o if_o infant_n have_v a_o right_n to_o the_o covenant_n and_o the_o initial_a sign_n thereof_o then_o it_o be_v a_o wrong_a to_o deny_v they_o but_o infant_n have_v a_o right_n to_o the_o covenant_n and_o the_o initial_a sign_n thereof_o both_o by_o god_n original_a grant_n gen._n 17.11_o 14._o and_o by_o christ_n confirmation_n of_o that_o covenant_n
