for_o that_o which_o some_o will_v prove_v by_o it_o since_o beside_o the_o vast_a difference_n in_o the_o ordinance_n the_o person_n to_o be_v circumcise_a be_v state_v by_o a_o positive_a law_n so_o express_v that_o it_o leave_v no_o place_n for_o scruple_n but_o it_o be_v far_o otherwise_o in_o baptism_n where_o all_o the_o designation_n of_o person_n fit_a to_o be_v partaker_n for_o aught_o i_o know_v be_v only_o such_o as_o believe_v for_o this_o be_v the_o qualification_n that_o with_o exact_a search_n i_o find_v the_o scripture_n require_v in_o person_n to_o be_v baptize_v and_o this_o it_o seem_v to_o require_v in_o all_o such_o person_n now_o how_o infant_n can_v be_v proper_o say_v to_o believe_v i_o be_o not_o yet_o full_o resolve_v yet_o many_o thing_n prevail_v very_o much_o with_o i_o in_o this_o point_n first_o for_o aught_o i_o can_v ever_o learn_v it_o be_v the_o constant_a custom_n of_o the_o pure_a and_o most_o primitive_a church_n to_o baptize_v infant_n of_o

and_o therefore_o probable_o by_o other_o th●n_a church-officer_n as_o pray_v read_v the_o scripture_n catechise_v exhortation_n and_o the_o like_a which_o as_o they_o conceive_v be_v not_o confine_v

there_o that_o can_v do_v it_o better_o than_o himself_o therefore_o these_o seem_v rather_o to_o come_v under_o the_o notion_n of_o private_a duty_n rather_o than_o public_a church-ordinance_n
