and_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o but_o one_o in_o nature_n or_o essence_n without_o division_n and_o uncommunicable_a who_o make_v the_o world_n and_o all_o thing_n therein_o by_o the_o word_n of_o his_o power_n and_o govern_v they_o all_o by_o his_o wise_a providence_n second_o i_o believe_v that_o god_n make_v man_n in_o his_o own_o image_n a_o upright_a and_o a_o perfect_a creature_n consist_v of_o soul_n and_o body_n which_o body_n god_n frame_v of_o the_o earth_n and_o breathe_v a_o soul_n into_o the_o same_o to_o who_o god_n give_v a_o law_n upon_o his_o keep_n of_o which_o depend_v all_o his_o happiness_n and_o upon_o the_o contrary_n attend_v his_o misery_n which_o soon_o take_v effect_n for_o he_o break_v that_o law_n he_o fall_v under_o the_o curse_n and_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n lay_v upon_o he_o &_o all_o his_o posterity_n by_o which_o fall_n man_n lose_v the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n &_o utter_o disable_v himself_o of_o all_o ability_n ever_o to_o recover_v the_o same_o again_o three_o i_o believe_v god_n out_o of_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o own_o will_n do_v before_o he_o make_v the_o world_n elect_a and_o choose_v some_o certain_a number_n of_o his_o foresee_v fall_v creature_n and_o appoint_v they_o to_o eternal_a life_n in_o his_o son_n for_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o grace_n which_o number_n so_o elect_v shall_v avoidable_o be_v save_v and_o come_v to_o glory_n and_o the_o rest_n leave_v to_o themselves_o in_o their_o sin_n to_o glorify_v his_o justice_n four_o i_o believe_v that_o god_n in_o the_o fullness_n of_o his_o own_o time_n do_v send_v his_o son_n the_o second_o person_n who_o in_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n assume_v man_v nature_n and_o in_o the_o same_o he_o suffer_v death_n upon_o the_o cross_n only_o as_o he_o be_v man_n to_o satisfy_v his_o father_n justice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o all_o his_o elect_a and_o they_o only_o and_o that_o he_o lie_v three_o day_n &_o three_o night_n in_o his_o

body_n christ_n die_v be_v arise_v from_o though_o dead_a and_o afterward_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n the_o place_n of_o glory_n where_o he_o be_v before_o and_o there_o to_o remain_v until_o he_o come_v at_o the_o last_o day_n to_o judge_v the_o world_n in_o righteousness_n five_o i_o believe_v that_o god_n of_o his_o grace_n in_o his_o own_o time_n effectual_o call_v such_o as_o shall_v be_v save_v to_o the_o knowledge_n sive_fw-la as_o a_o child_n in_o the_o parent_n beget_v of_o it_o and_o so_o god_n by_o his_o spirit_n work_v faith_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o such_o to_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n only_o for_o justification_n and_o thus_o they_o be_v make_v righteous_a before_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o so_o conformable_a to_o the_o will_n of_o the_o father_n through_o the_o son_n and_o also_o make_v holy_a through_o the_o work_n of_o regeneration_n and_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o grace_n dwell_v in_o they_o yet_o all_o such_o have_v still_o as_o long_o as_o they_o live_v here_o in_o the_o flesh_n remain_v in_o they_o a_o old_a man_n that_o original_a corruption_n the_o flesh_n that_o war_n against_o the_o spirit_n which_o hinder_v they_o in_o their_o obedience_n both_o to_o god_n and_o man_n and_o many_o time_n draw_v they_o to_o that_o which_o be_v evil_a and_o contrary_a to_o their_o intention_n yet_o all_o of_o they_o shall_v through_o christ_n overcome_v and_o safe_o be_v bring_v to_o glory_n at_o last_o six_o i_o believe_v the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o have_v the_o only_a authority_n to_o bind_v the_o conscience_n to_o the_o obedience_n of_o all_o therein_o contain_v and_o be_v the_o all-sufficient_a rule_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n to_o guide_v a_o man_n in_o all_o his_o obedience_n both_o to_o god_n and_o man_n seven_o as_o for_o the_o absence_n of_o original_a sin_n and_o power_n in_o the_o will_v to_o receive_v and_o refuse_v grace_n and_o salvation_n be_v general_o offer_v by_o the_o gospel_n and_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o person_n universal_o to_o take_v away_o sin_n that_o stand_v between_o they_o and_o salvation_n and_o so_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n a_o ransom_n for_o all_o without_o exception_n and_o for_o such_o as_o have_v be_v once_o in_o god_n love_n so_o as_o approve_v of_o by_o he_o in_o christ_n for_o salvation_n and_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o for_o such_o to_o fall_v so_o as_o to_o be_v damn_v eternal_o and_o all_o of_o the_o like_a nature_n i_o do_v believe_v be_v a_o doctrine_n from_o beneath_o and_o not_o from_o above_o and_o the_o teacher_n of_o it_o from_o satan_n and_o not_o from_o god_n and_o to_o be_v reject_v as_o such_o that_o oppose_v christ_n and_o his_o gospel_n eight_o i_o do_v believe_v the_o

commission_n the_o subject_n of_o baptism_n be_v express_o set_v down_o who_o they_o shall_v baptize_v and_o they_o be_v only_o such_o as_o first_o be_v to_o be_v teach_v and_o have_v faith_n to_o believe_v the_o same_o as_o i_o have_v sufficient_o prove_v and_o now_o have_v these_o express_a command_n so_o full_o hold_v forth_o by_o christ_n himself_o to_o gether_o with_o the_o whole_a practical_a order_n of_o the_o apostle_n &_o other_o follow_v the_o same_o in_o their_o administration_n and_o to_o go_v about_o to_o bring_v authority_n or_o command_n from_o the_o commandment_n of_o circumcision_n for_o the_o baptise_v of_o infant_n in_o more_o than_o ignorance_n and_o for_o to_o plead_v the_o baptise_v of_o infant_n because_o that_o command_n be_v not_o repeal_v which_o enjoin_v infant_n to_o be_v circumcise_v be_v too_o weak_a for_o faith_n to_o build_v upon_o but_o now_o i_o hope_v the_o removal_n of_o the_o same_o appear_v in_o that_o there_o be_v not_o only_o a_o command_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n direct_o against_o the_o same_o but_o also_o a_o new_a command_n and_o so_o a_o law_n from_o christ_n the_o king_n of_o saint_n and_o lord_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o the_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n and_o all_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o same_o and_o yet_o for_o the_o further_o repeal_n of_o that_o law_n which_o enjoin_v infant_n natural_o bear_v and_o so_o from_o the_o womb_n to_o be_v circumcise_v without_o mind_v any_o other_o spiritual_a birth_n but_o only_o that_o which_o bring_v forth_o the_o child_n in_o the_o world_n for_o 8_o day_n after_o it_o must_v be_v circumcise_v by_o command_n from_o god_n which_o order_n be_v oppose_v by_o the_o gospel_n as_o joh._n 3.3_o 5_o 6._o where_o christ_n oppose_v the_o two_o birth_n the_o spiritual_a to_o the_o natural_a birth_n and_o exclude_v the_o natural_a from_o any_o admittance_n into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n without_o the_o spiritual_a birth_n and_o that_o he_o may_v not_o be_v mistake_v he_o further_o explain_v himself_o say_v that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o flesh_n be_v flesh_n and_o that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o spirit_n be_v spirit_n and_o further_o to_o know_v christ_n meaning_n in_o these_o birth_n which_o he_o oppose_v the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o he_o full_o hold_v forth_o joh._n 1.13_o in_o these_o word_n of_o such_o as_o receive_v he_o which_o be_v bear_v not_o of_o blond_n nor_o of_o the_o will_n of_o the_o flesh_n nor_o of_o the_o will_n of_o man_n but_o of_o god_n this_o way_n and_o order_v the_o commandment_n of_o circumcision_n speak_v nothing_o of_o neither_o require_v the_o same_o but_o only_o the_o first_o birth_n for_o no_o child_n of_o 8_o day_n old_a be_v capable_a to_o be_v bear_v again_o of_o the_o spirit_n in_o our_o saviour_n sense_n and_o thus_o the_o gospel_n exclude_v that_o which_o the_o law_n of_o circumcision_n command_v even_o the_o first_o birth_n which_o be_v natural_a without_o the_o second_o birth_n which_o be_v spiritual_a and_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a for_o any_o to_o say_v that_o christ_n speak_v here_o of_o man_n of_o year_n for_o he_o oppose_v the_o two_o birth_n as_o aforesaid_a and_o not_o the_o age_n of_o any_o and_o so_o the_o whole_a universe_n of_o mankind_n for_o this_o place_n be_v general_o take_v for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o regeneration_n from_o whence_o many_o hold_v that_o child_n be_v regenerate_v in_o baptism_n but_o general_o those_o that_o baptize_v their_o infant_n hold_v that_o they_o be_v regenerate_v before_o for_o they_o baptize_v they_o as_o be_v holy_a before_o and_o if_o any_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o kingdom_n christ_n speak_v of_o be_v mean_v the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n and_o not_o of_o grace_n and_o therefore_o though_o he_o exclude_v such_o out_o of_o the_o one_o yet_o not_o out_o of_o the_o other_o the_o answer_n be_v that_o it_o be_v not_o where_o find_v in_o the_o gospel_n that_o any_o be_v exclude_v the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n and_o yet_o be_v admit_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n the_o door_n of_o grace_n in_o this_o sense_n be_v no_o wide_a than_o the_o gate_n of_o glory_n by_o god_n appointment_n and_o what_o man_n do_v through_o ignorance_n that_o alter_v not_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n as_o rom._n 8.30_o and_o if_o any_o say_v that_o christ_n at_o this_o time_n have_v oppose_v god_n ordinance_n of_o circumcision_n if_o such_o a_o truth_n have_v be_v put_v in_o execution_n as_o be_v gather_v from_o his_o word_n to_o exclude_v and_o put_v by_o a_o infant_n of_o 〈…〉_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o christ_n speak_v of_o many_o thing_n before_o his_o death_n which_o do_v not_o concern_v the_o time_n present_a but_o of_o the_o order_n and_o government_n of_o his_o church_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o so_o he_o speak_v here_o of_o the_o qualification_n of_o his_o subject_n and_o worshipper_n in_o his_o new_a kingdom_n that_o be_v at_o hand_n all_o which_o be_v to_o be_v

as_o rom._n 2._o add_v to_o this_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n eph._n 2.3_o we_o be_v say_v he_o all_o by_o nature_n child_n of_o wrath_n now_o if_o this_o be_v true_a then_o so_o long_o as_o nothing_o else_o appear_v how_o can_v we_o judge_v otherwise_o without_o gainsay_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o by_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n we_o be_v first_o bear_v of_o the_o flesh_n and_o so_o in_o a_o estate_n of_o nature_n until_o grace_v recover_v we_o and_o the_o effect_n of_o christ_n redemption_n take_v hold_v upon_o we_o until_o which_o time_n we_o be_v judge_v of_o the_o apostle_n

the_o visible_a right_n that_o infant_n have_v to_o baptism_n and_o find_v none_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o the_o contrary_a i_o come_v now_o to_o a_o second_o sort_n and_o they_o be_v such_o
