apostle_n which_o say_v for_o the_o priesthood_n be_v change_v there_o be_v also_o a_o necessity_n of_o the_o change_n of_o the_o law_n from_o whence_o we_o see_v that_o both_o law_n and_o

second_o arg._n 2_o if_o tithe_n or_o a_o ten_o be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o first_o fruit_n of_o the_o convert_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n to_o christ_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n than_o

that_o the_o convert_v of_o israel_n be_v the_o anti-type_n of_o tithe_n 13._o esa_n 6.8_o 9_o 10_o 11_o 12_o 13._o and_o that_o they_o be_v call_v a_o ten_o see_v the_o prophet_n esaiah_n will_v

he_o say_v go_v and_o tell_v this_o people_n hear_v you_o indeed_o and_o understand_v not_o and_o see_v you_o indeed_o but_o perceive_v not_o make_v the_o heart_n of_o this_o people_n fat_a and_o

thereof_o from_o these_o word_n we_o may_v see_v that_o although_o god_n do_v intend_v to_o harden_v israel_n and_o cast_v they_o off_o for_o their_o sin_n yet_o there_o be_v to_o be_v a_o small_a

woman_n have_v to_o eat_v the_o paschal_n lamb_n or_o the_o lord_n supper_n under_o the_o gospel_n answer_v that_o the_o woman_n be_v to_o eat_v the_o passover_n be_v very_o evident_a be_v part_n of_o

3._o the_o which_o i_o draw_v from_o the_o ephesian_n in_o these_o word_n and_o be_v by_o nature_n the_o child_n of_o wrath_n as_o well_o as_o other_o the_o baptiser_n say_v you_o say_v the_o text_n

and_o do_v not_o obey_v it_o it_o will_v plead_v guilty_a and_o lay_v they_o under_o wrath_n and_o that_o it_o lead_v from_o sin_n and_o not_o to_o sin_n see_v rom._n 1.26_o &_o 2.14_o 1_o cor._n 11.14_o gal_n 4.8_o but_o because_o i_o have_v answer_v this_o text_n once_o and_o again_o in_o my_o former_a treatise_n i_o shall_v be_v brief_a at_o present_a and_o say_v that_o nature_n in_o its_o region_n as_o i_o may_v say_v be_v pure_a although_o it_o teach_v not_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n yet_o it_o be_v able_a to_o teach_v man_n to_o live_v pure_o according_a to_o the_o law_n as_o say_v the_o apostle_n the_o gentile_n that_o have_v not_o the_o law_n do_v by_o nature_n the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n these_o be_v a_o law_n to_o themselves_o etc._n etc._n from_o whence_o you_o may_v see_v nature_n lead_v from_o sin_n to_o do_v thing_n that_o be_v holy_a just_a and_o good_a and_o not_o to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a but_o if_o person_n that_o have_v no_o other_o law_n to_o guide_v as_o the_o ephesian_n have_v not_o before_o conversion_n and_o yet_o sin_n against_o it_o that_o will_v lay_v they_o under_o wrath_n and_o so_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o apostle_n say_v they_o by_o nature_n be_v the_o child_n of_o wrath_n as_o well_o as_o other_o and_o so_o brief_o thus_o as_o a_o man_n be_v a_o malefactor_n by_o the_o law_n of_o a_o nation_n when_o he_o have_v break_v the_o law_n so_o be_v these_o ephesian_n by_o nature_n have_v transgress_v against_o it_o the_o child_n of_o wrath_n that_o be_v nature_n convict_v they_o and_o lay_v they_o under_o wrath_n and_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o text_n as_o you_o may_v see_v also_o more_o at_o large_a in_o my_o dagon_n downfall_a again_o where_o you_o say_v i_o father_n infant_n baptism_n upon_o pope_n innocent_a the_o three_o the_o which_o say_v you_o be_v a_o error_n because_o it_o be_v long_o in_o practice_n before_o he_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v although_o it_o may_v possible_o be_v practise_v before_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o enjoin_v as_o practice_v but_o let_v it_o be_v pope_n innocent_a or_o cyprius_n or_o who_o it_o will_v that_o bring_v that_o practice_n

it_o and_o in_o the_o last_o place_n you_o tell_v i_o of_o the_o antiquity_n of_o this_o practice_n of_o infant_n baptism_n and_o withal_o you_o say_v he_o that_o be_v wise_a will_v drink_v near_o
