A85311	The answer of Giles Firmin, to the vain and unprofitable question put to him, and charged upon him by Mr. Grantham, in his book, entituled, The infants advocate : viz. whether the greatest part of dying infants shall be damned? : Which advocate, while he shuts all infants out of the visible church, and denies them baptism, opens heaven to all dying infants, justifying those of his party, who admit them all as he doth, into Heaven without regeneration.	Firmin, Giles, 1614-1697.; Grantham, Thomas, d. 1664. Infants advocate.	1689 (1689)	Wing F954A; ESTC S122452	14,558	22

conceive_v in_o sin_n 51_o psal_n 5._o it_o may_v have_v some_o truth_n in_o respect_n of_o adam_n sin_n by_o which_o death_n pass_v upon_o all_o and_o judgement_n come_v upon_o all_o 5_o rom._n
