the_o same_o covenant_n that_o be_v deny_v and_o raze_v in_o my_o answer_n to_o your_o former_a argument_n it_o be_v neither_o the_o same_o covenant_n nor_o the_o same_o seal_n a_o outward_a seal_n to_o a_o outward_a covenant_n a_o inward_a seal_n to_o a_o inward_a covenant_n 2._o you_o say_v there_o be_v the_o same_o reason_n for_o the_o one_o as_o for_o the_o other_o our_o child_n be_v bear_v in_o original_a sin_n as_o well_o as_o they_o &_o have_v the_o same_o need_n of_o the_o seal_n oh_o unimaginable_a blindness_n be_v circumcision_n or_o baptism_n either_o ever_o give_v to_o seal_v up_o the_o pardon_n of_o original_a sin_n if_o it_o be_v than_o it_o must_v be_v pardon_v or_o not_o pardon_v if_o pardon_v then_o sure_a else_o it_o be_v but_o the_o put_v a_o seal_n to_o a_o blank_a

say_v there_o be_v the_o same_o reason_n for_o the_o one_o as_o for_o the_o other_o it_o be_v deny_v for_o the_o command_n of_o god_n be_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o one_o and_o of_o the_o other_o god_n command_v infant_n to_o be_v circumcise_v he_o have_v command_v believer_n to_o be_v baptize_v and_o it_o be_v reason_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v obey_v as_o in_o the_o first_o so_o in_o the_o second_o it_o be_v a_o unreasonable_a and_o wicked_a thing_n to_o contradict_v by_o contrary_a action_n the_o command_v of_o christ_n 3._o you_o say_v if_o baptism_n succeed_v in_o the_o place_n of_o circumcision_n than_o baptism_n belong_v to_o those_o to_o who_o circumcision_n do_v belong_v but_o baptism_n do_v succeed_v in_o the_o place_n of_o circumcision_n ergo_fw-la etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v your_o minor_n be_v deny_v 1._o there_o be_v no_o scripture_n that_o say_v that_o baptism_n be_v ordain_v in_o the_o place_n of_o circumcision_n it_o be_v your_o own_o invention_n never_o

and_o be_v abundant_o abuse_v and_o wrest_v to_o that_o for_o which_o they_o be_v never_o intend_v as_o will_v appear_v 2._o you_o confess_v that_o baptism_n be_v in_o force_n before_o circumcision_n be_v abolish_v circumcision_n and_o baptism_n stand_v both_o in_o force_n by_o a_o law_n for_o some_o year_n at_o least_o 3_o or_o 4_o year_n now_o if_o baptism_n have_v come_v in_o the_o room_n of_o circumcision_n than_o circumcision_n must_v have_v cease_v when_o baptism_n come_v but_o circumcision_n do_v not_o cease_v when_o baptism_n come_v therefore_o baptism_n come_v not_o in_o the_o room_n of_o it_o if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o paul_n circumcise_v timothy_n after_o the_o ascension_n of_o christ_n i_o answer_v that_o be_v because_o of_o the_o jew_n for_o their_o weakness_n but_o it_o be_v in_o be_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n until_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n so_o then_o i_o reason_v thus_o that_o which_o put_v a_o end_n to_o circumcision_n come_v in_o the_o room_n of_o circumcision_n but_o christ_n put_v a_o end_n to_o circumcision_n therefore_o he_o be_v come_v in_o the_o room_n of_o circumcision_n that_o it_o be_v christ_n and_o not_o baptism_n that_o put_v a_o end_n to_o circumcision_n be_v clear_a rom._n 10._o 4._o gal._n 5._o 2_o 3._o so_o that_o baptism_n do_v not_o put_v a_o end_n to_o circumcision_n but_o christ_n do_v therefore_o baptism_n come_v not_o in_o the_o room_n of_o circumcision_n 3._o it_o can_v not_o come_v in_o the_o room_n of_o circumcision_n to_o they_o that_o never_o have_v circumcision_n but_o woman_n be_v never_o circumcise_v the_o gentile_n be_v never_o circumcise_v and_o it_o can_v not_o come_v in_o the_o room_n of_o circumcision_n to_o those_o which_o never_o be_v circumcise_v but_o you_o will_v say_v that_o woman_n be_v virtual_o circumcise_v in_o the_o man_n etc._n etc._n and_o why_o be_v they_o not_o baptize_v virtual_o in_o the_o man_n too_o if_o you_o will_v take_v your_o rule_n from_o circumcision_n let_v they_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o man_n too_o 4._o there_o be_v no_o parity_n but_o a_o disparity_n between_o baptism_n and_o circumcision_n as_o yourself_o in_o some_o thing_n have_v note_v 1._o in_o the_o action_n 2._o in_o the_o time_n 3._o in_o the_o subject_n 4._o in_o the_o end_n first_o in_o the_o action_n that_o be_v the_o cut_n of_o the_o foreskin_n of_o the_o flesh_n which_o occasion_v blood_n this_o of_o baptism_n a_o dip_v into_o or_o under_o water_n second_o for_o the_o time_n that_o be_v to_o be_v do_v at_o eight_o day_n old_a this_o of_o baptism_n when_o the_o party_n desire_v

be_v administer_v on_o both_o man_n and_o woman_n profess_v faith_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n and_o repentance_n towards_o god_n four_o for_o the_o end_n that_o be_v far_o wide_a as_o will_v appear_v in_o this_o ensue_a parallel_n 1._o circumcision_n set_v forth_o christ_n to_o come_v 1._o baptism_n declare_v christ_n already_o come_v 2._o circumcision_n represent_v the_o circumcision_n of_o the_o

jesus_n christ_n 3._o that_o be_v a_o seal_n of_o abraham_n faith_n 3._o baptism_n be_v no_o seal_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n these_o thing_n consider_v there_o be_v neither_o probability_n reason_n or_o scripture_n for_o the_o come_n of_o baptism_n in_o the_o room_n of_o circumcision_n first_o there_o be_v no_o scripture_n for_o it_o when_o false_a apostle_n go_v about_o to_o bring_v in_o circumcision_n act._n 15._o 10._o gal._n 1._o the_o apostle_n never_o mention_n baptism_n at_o all_o if_o it_o have_v come_v in_o the_o room_n of_o circumcision_n they_o may_v easy_o have_v stop_v their_o mouth_n with_o this_o you_o have_v baptism_n in_o the_o room_n of_o it_o what_o need_v you_o trouble_v yourselves_o so_o much_o but_o they_o never_o make_v use_n of_o this_o as_o a_o answer_n therefore_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o it_o come_v not_o in_o the_o room_n of_o it_o 2._o it_o be_v in_o be_v together_o 3._o it_o can_v not_o be_v so_o to_o they_o that_o be_v never_o circumcise_v and_o 4._o there_o be_v no_o parity_n between_o they_o i_o add_v 5._o if_o you_o will_v have_v it_o in_o the_o room_n of_o something_o why_o may_v it_o not_o come_v in_o the_o room_n of_o those_o legal_a wash_n that_o be_v among_o the_o jew_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o room_n of_o circumcision_n there_o be_v a_o parity_n in_o the_o one_o and_o likely_a in_o the_o end_n too_o but_o none_o in_o the_o other_o their_o religion_n viz._n the_o jew_n consist_v in_o divers_a wash_n heb._n 9_o 10._o so_o that_o if_o you_o must_v of_o necessity_n have_v it_o to_o come_v in_o the_o room_n of_o any_o thing_n why_o not_o in_o the_o room_n of_o those_o wash_n yet_o i_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o it_o come_v in_o the_o room_n of_o this_o or_o any_o other_o legal_a ordinance_n but_o that_o god_n give_v what_o ordinance_n he_o please_v to_o that_o ministration_n and_o jesus_n christ_n give_v what_o ordinance_n he_o please_v to_o this_o ministration_n not_o one_o ordinance_n put_v out_o the_o other_o but_o christ_n be_v the_o end_n of_o all_o gives_z out_o new_a upon_o his_o own_o account_n but_o second_o put_v case_n what_o you_o say_v be_v truth_n that_o it_o be_v come_v in_o the_o

servant_n then_o harken_v to_o he_o and_o obey_v his_o voice_n receive_v the_o law_n from_o his_o mouth_n for_o he_o be_v the_o messenger_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n let_v christ_n be_v king_n give_v but_o so_o much_o honour_n to_o he_o as_o to_o inform_v you_o who_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v and_o the_o time_n when_o it_o be_v to_o be_v do_v &_o the_o manner_n how_o and_o the_o

there_o that_o thing_n be_v still_o in_o force_n but_o there_o be_v a_o command_n for_o sign_v the_o infant_n of_o believer_n never_o yet_o countermand_v or_o forbid_v ergo_fw-la it_o be_v still_o
