have_v command_v they_o to_o ââize_v penitent_a believer_n which_o be_v person_n of_o grow_v âââs_n to_o which_o command_n they_o be_v obedient_a and_o we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o account_v they_o saithful_a ãâã_d the_o apostle_n paul_n protest_v before_o a_o assembly_n of_o miâers_n act_n 20.20_o he_o have_v keep_v back_o nothing_o that_o be_v ââable_a to_o they_o and_o in_o ver_fw-la 26._o he_o say_v i_o have_v not_o shunââ_n to_o declare_v to_o you_o all_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n if_o thereââ_n the_o sprinkle_v of_o infant_n have_v be_v profitable_a for_o ãâã_d or_o a_o part_n of_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n concern_v the_o ââches_n we_o have_v certain_o hear_v of_o it_o in_o some_o of_o paul_n ââeches_n or_o epistle_n but_o not_o one_o word_n be_v mention_v about_o it_o we_o may_v safe_o conclude_v it_o be_v whole_o unknown_a to_o those_o time_n both_o as_o to_o subject_n and_o manner_n it_o ââing_n a_o practice_n both_o unprofitable_a and_o vain_a as_o be_v bââ_n

i_o will_v offer_v a_o argument_n or_o two_o to_o prove_v that_o infanâ_n sprinkle_v be_v not_o of_o divine_a authority_n the_o sprinkle_v of_o infant_n be_v either_o from_o heaven_n ãâã_d of_o men._n but_o it_o be_v not_o from_o heaven_n ergo_fw-la it_o be_v of_o men._n if_o it_o be_v from_o heaven_n the_o holy_a scripture_n have_v soââ_n where_o reveal_v it_o so_o to_o be_v but_o it_o be_v not_o where_o so_o reveal_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n ãâã_d ergo_fw-la it_o be_v not_o from_o heaven_n if_o it_o be_v any_o where_o so_o reveal_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n you_o or_o some_o other_o be_v able_a to_o show_v it_o but_o you_o nor_o no_o other_o be_v able_a to_o show_v it_o ergo_fw-la it_o ãâã_d not_o any_o where_o so_o reveal_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n if_o mr._n james_n shall_v tell_v you_o he_o can_v show_v it_o so_o to_o bâ_n let_v he_o give_v you_o a_o instance_n where_o it_o be_v write_v as_o alââ_n ãâã_d gician_n ought_v to_o do_v the_o minor_a be_v a_o universal_a negative_a or_o let_v he_o for_o ever_o be_v silent_a upon_o this_o subject_n for_o it_o be_v write_v rev._n 22.18_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v add_v ãâã_d these_o thing_n god_n shall_v

the_o learned_a have_v espouse_v they_o will_v allow_v we_o that_o we_o be_v in_o the_o right_n as_o to_o whâââ_n we_o assert_v about_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o primitive_a churcheâ_n but_o tell_v

member_n of_o any_o ââte_a congregation_n but_o only_o doubt_v of_o the_o ãâã_d of_o infant-baptism_n which_o i_o suppose_v his_o ââhip_n think_v he_o may_v do_v and_o yet_o be_v a_o good_a ââian_n ãâã_d tell_v i_o yes_o for_o he_o have_v tumbling_n and_o toss_n âââout_v it_o in_o his_o own_o mind_n in_o his_o young_a day_n but_o now_o ãâã_d be_v satisfy_v ãâã_d desire_a then_o to_o know_v the_o ground_n of_o his_o lordship_n âââstion_n ãâã_d say_v the_o apostle_n paul_n in_o rom._n 13._o and_o the_o beââing_n exhort_v the_o christian_n to_o submit_v to_o the_o ââgher_a power_n etc._n etc._n and_o also_o the_o apostle_n peter_n say_v ãâã_d vour_z self_n to_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n for_o the_o ââââd's_n sake_n etc._n etc._n now_o say_v he_o you_o must_v know_v ãâã_d the_o convocation_n meet_v and_o conclude_v that_o infant_n âould_v be_v baptize_v and_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n enâââed_v it_o and_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v require_v to_o be_v obeâent_v to_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n for_o the_o lord_n sake_n âherefore_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v it_o ãâã_d answer_v my_o lord_n if_o the_o convocation_n have_v so_o conââd_v and_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n so_o enact_v that_o ãâã_d shall_v have_v be_v baptize_v in_o the_o king_n name_n or_o âhe_v name_n of_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n as_o legislator_n i_o âere_z those_o people_n may_v have_v comply_v with_o it_o ãâã_d answer_v that_o will_v have_v be_v odd_a ãâã_d reply_v as_o odd_a as_o it_o be_v if_o they_o have_v comply_v with_o it_o ãâã_d controversy_n have_v be_v at_o end_n he_o say_v that_o be_v true_a but_o why_o can_v they_o comply_v ãâã_d with_o it_o now_o my_o lord_n they_o have_v get_v a_o notion_n in_o their_o head_n that_o ãâã_d not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o any_o man_n or_o number_n of_o man_n in_o ãâã_d world_n to_o alter_v the_o nature_n of_o institution_n so_o as_o to_o ãâã_d that_o divine_a that_o be_v in_o itself_o humane_a or_o that_o huââe_n that_o be_v in_o itself_o divine_a the_o bishop_n reply_v they_o be_v right_a in_o that_o for_o none_o ãâã_d alter_v the_o nature_n of_o thing_n but_o god_n alone_o why_o then_o my_o lord_n forasmuch_o as_o you_o do_v not_o baptize_v infant_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o king_n or_o king_n and_o parliament_n as_o a_o humane_a institution_n but_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a spirit_n as_o a_o divine_a institution_n they_o can_v comply_v with_o it_o well_o say_v he_o there_o be_v never_o a_o word_n of_o god_n against_o it_o it_o be_v not_o where_o say_v in_o the_o scripture_n you_o shall_v not_o baptize_v infant_n i_o reply_v my_o lord_n i_o shall_v only_o put_v your_o lordship_n in_o mind_n of_o thâ_n note_n of_o a_o learned_a man_n upon_o that_o of_o leu._n 10.1_o 2._o concern_v nadab_n and_o abihu_n son_n of_o aaron_n priest_n of_o the_o lord_n who_o offer_v strange_a fire_n before_o the_o lord_n which_o the_o lord_n command_v they_o not_o
