so_o to_o expound_v it_o also_o i_o will_v omit_v it_o and_o come_v to_o my_o second_o exception_n which_o be_v this_o you_o pretend_v that_o baptism_n be_v before_o faith_n whereas_o both_o in_o

i._o we_o deny_v not_o but_o in_o man_n of_o year_n faith_n may_v come_v before_o baptism_n n._n by_o faith_n alone_o we_o be_v save_v what_o need_v then_o of_o baptism_n i._o if_o you_o speak_v of_o absolute_a necessity_n god_n can_v have_v save_v we_o not_o only_o without_o baptism_n but_o even_o without_o faith_n yea_o even_o without_o christ_n for_o if_o he_o have_v give_v we_o immutable_a grace_n before_o our_o fall_n christ_n death_n shall_v not_o have_v be_v necessary_a and_o so_o faith_n have_v be_v void_a and_o consequent_o baptism_n but_o if_o you_o intend_v a_o conditional_a necessity_n in_o regard_n of_o god_n decree_n it_o will_v appear_v that_o christ_n death_n be_v a_o efficient_a cause_n howbeit_o not_o the_o principal_n for_o that_o be_v god_n love_n but_o a_o work_a 16._o john_n 3._o 16._o meritorious_a cause_n as_o also_o that_o faith_n be_v a_o instrument_n active_a and_o baptism_n passive_a apply_v to_o we_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n death_n again_o whereas_o you_o say_v that_o we_o be_v save_v by_o faith_n alone_o do_v you_o imagine_v that_o faith_n may_v be_v void_a of_o good_a work_n n._n i_o detest_v that_o popery_n but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o baptism_n i._o be_v it_o not_o a_o good_a work_n and_o fruit_n of_o faith_n to_o seek_v for_o external_a baptism_n n._n yet_o by_o this_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o baptism_n succee_v faith_n which_o contradict_v your_o assertion_n i._o though_o baptism_n do_v only_o confirm_v faith_n in_o man_n of_o year_n be_v it_o therefore_o needless_a to_o salvation_n but_o yet_o infant_n faith_n be_v

the_o time_n of_o effectual_a vocation_n or_o conversion_n shall_v issue_v the_o seasonable_a fruit_n of_o sanctification_n n._n my_o three_o exception_n against_o your_o scripture_n be_v this_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v he_o that_o shall_v believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v shall_v be_v save_v it_o be_v immediate_o add_v he_o that_o shall_v not_o believe_v shall_v be_v condemn_v so_o that_o baptism_n be_v omit_v as_o no_o necessary_a mean_n of_o salvation_n i._o your_o proof_n be_v take_v from_o silent_a witness_n which_o can_v be_v of_o force_n in_o this_o manner_n baptism_n be_v not_o

many_o person_n circumcise_a and_o baptise_a have_v yet_o fail_v of_o eternal_a life_n and_o therefore_o it_o seem_v that_o these_o be_v not_o necessary_a mean_n of_o salvation_n i._o many_o that_o
