because_o some_o of_o your_o argument_n for_o the_o continuation_n of_o baptism_n mention_v in_o your_o second_o chapter_n tend_v to_o overthrow_v your_o infant_n baptism_n i_o shall_v make_v some_o

it_o 1._o you_o say_v christ_n have_v ordain_v baptism_n to_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o our_o repentance_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v the_o baptism_n of_o our_o repentance_n mark_v 1._o 4._o repentance_n be_v a_o remain_a duty_n therefore_o the_o baptism_n of_o repentance_n be_v to_o remain_v remark_n if_o baptism_n be_v a_o siâ—n_n of_o repentance_n to_o the_o person_n baptize_v than_o the_o person_n baptize_v aught_o to_o be_v a_o person_n capable_a to_o repent_v and_o when_o baptize_v to_o have_v what_o be_v signify_v therein_o but_o infant_n as_o such_o have_v not_o the_o grace_n of_o repentance_n when_o baptize_v so_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a to_o repent_v two_o you_o say_v it_o be_v a_o evidence_n of_o our_o faith_n in_o christ_n mark_v 16._o 16._o act_n 8._o 37_o 38._o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v to_o remain_v as_o long_o as_o faith_n be_v to_o remain_v on_o the_o earth_n remark_n if_o baptism_n be_v a_o evidence_n of_o our_o faith_n in_o christ_n than_o it_o must_v only_o belong_v to_o believer_n how_o can_v it_o be_v a_o evidence_n of_o faith_n in_o infant_n who_o be_v not_o capable_a to_o believe_v they_o know_v not_o the_o object_n of_o faith_n nor_o can_v they_o exert_v any_o act_n of_o faith_n it_o must_v be_v a_o evidence_n to_o the_o subject_a when_o baptize_v and_o so_o the_o scripture_n you_o cite_v hold_v forth_o he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v

nay_o faith_n be_v require_v of_o they_o before_o they_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v and_o so_o say_v the_o church_n of_o england_n 3_o you_o say_v it_o be_v the_o bond_n of_o holiness_n 1_o pet._n 3._o
