to_o prove_v that_o our_o religion_n stand_v not_o all_o upon_o negative_n but_o chief_o upon_o affirmative_n it_o shall_v be_v sufficient_a to_o declare_v that_o we_o believe_v and_o affirm_v all_o

unto_o god_n then_o be_v before_o but_o how_o true_a this_o be_v let_v every_o man_n judge_n when_o we_o ascribe_v all_o religious_a service_n obedience_n honour_n faith_n invocation_n and_o thanks_n

to_o god_n the_o only_a author_n of_o all_o goodness_n and_o christ_n our_o only_a mediator_n of_o all_o benefit_n to_o be_v receive_v of_o god_n and_o you_o give_v he_o but_o part_n of_o all_o the_o

moral_a ceremonial_a and_o judicial_a of_o god_n law_n it_o be_v a_o strange_a matter_n to_o see_v your_o boldness_n what_o moral_a precept_n of_o god_n do_v we_o gainsay_v do_v we_o not_o teach_v

first_o it_o deny_v that_o the_o moral_a precept_n be_v possible_a to_o be_v keep_v of_o man._n the_o answer_n it_o shall_v not_o be_v needful_a our_o doctrine_n be_v so_o common_o know_v to_o the_o

we_o deny_v in_o deed_n that_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o any_o man_n except_o christ_n only_o to_o keep_v the_o moral_a precept_n of_o god_n which_o be_v not_o such_o a_o strange_a paradox_n to_o

you_o have_v neither_o commandment_n nor_o example_n of_o christ_n what_o soever_o you_o pretend_v by_o these_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o for_o beside_o that_o to_o celebrate_v the_o remembrance_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n have_v

receive_v no_o penance_n and_o by_o the_o third_o kind_n he_o can_v not_o be_v justify_v for_o he_o come_v thither_o a_o publican_n and_o a_o sinner_n therefore_o all_o learning_n have_v leave_v out_o one_o kind_n of_o justification_n which_o christ_n himself_o do_v teach_v and_o that_o be_v the_o only_a true_a justification_n whereof_o we_o mean_v when_o our_o sin_n be_v pardon_v by_o the_o free_a mercy_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n we_o be_v account_v righteous_a before_o he_o which_o be_v confirm_v to_o we_o when_o we_o believe_v his_o promise_n thereof_o and_o this_o be_v that_o justification_n whereof_o saint_n paul_n dispute_v at_o large_a in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n by_o which_o it_o may_v appear_v what_o a_o clerkly_o division_n you_o have_v make_v that_o exclude_v the_o only_a true_a justification_n which_o be_v the_o thing_n we_o contend_v of_o and_o be_v so_o most_o proper_o call_v but_o now_o to_o consider_v right_o the_o part_n of_o your_o division_n you_o say_v the_o first_o kind_n of_o justification_n be_v when_o of_o a_o ungodly_a man_n be_v make_v a_o godly_a man_n which_o if_o it_o be_v right_o understand_v be_v the_o same_o justification_n that_o we_o speak_v of_o when_o we_o say_v only_a faith_n do_v justify_v but_o when_o you_o restrain_v it_o to_o baptism_n of_o infant_n you_o be_v far_o wide_a from_o our_o understanding_n and_o from_o the_o truth_n for_o what_o be_v baptism_n to_o we_o more_o than_o circumcision_n be_v to_o abraham_n but_o abraham_n be_v not_o justify_v by_o circumsition_n as_o s._n paul_n prove_v at_o large_a therefore_o neither_o be_v we_o justify_v by_o baptism_n but_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o receive_v circumsition_n as_o a_o seal_n of_o his_o justification_n so_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n receive_v baptism_n as_o a_o seal_n of_o our_o righteousness_n which_o be_v by_o faith_n thus_o we_o do_v not_o deny_v the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n as_o you_o most_o shameful_o do_v slander_v we_o but_o we_o show_v the_o right_a use_n and_o profit_n thereof_o out_o of_o the_o scripture_n for_o when_o we_o have_v receive_v by_o faith_n the_o promise_n of_o god_n favour_n and_o mercy_n in_o which_o our_o salvation_n depend_v we_o do_v not_o refuse_v the_o seal_n which_o be_v the_o sacrament_n which_o god_o have_v add_v for_o confirmation_n of_o our_o faith_n but_o whereas_o you_o restrain_v this_o justification_n to_o infant_n you_o show_v your_o ignorance_n in_o the_o scripture_n for_o he_o that_o ex_fw-la impio_fw-la fit_a iustus_fw-la that_o be_v of_o a_o wicked_a man_n be_v make_v righteous_a must_v believe_v in_o he_o that_o justify_v the_o ungodly_a man_n as_o it_o be_v in_o saint_n paul_n roma_fw-it iiij_o and_o so_o his_o faith_n be_v impute_v or_o account_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n and_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o it_o be_v without_o respect_n of_o work_v which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o we_o affirm_v a_o ungodly_a man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n only_o for_o what_o work_v can_v he_o have_v that_o shall_v concur_v with_o faith_n to_o justify_v he_o which_o be_v a_o ungodly_a man_n before_o he_o be_v justify_v and_o therefore_o augustine_n say_v very_o well_o of_o good_a work_v sequuntur_fw-la iustificatum_fw-la non_fw-la praecedunt_fw-la iustificandum_fw-la they_o follow_v he_o that_o be_v justify_v they_o go_v not_o before_o he_o that_o be_v to_o be_v justify_v see_v therefore_o that_o faith_n be_v necessary_a in_o this_o justification_n and_o infant_n to_o speak_v proper_o have_v no_o faith_n this_o justification_n can_v not_o be_v restrain_v to_o baptism_n of_o infant_n which_o if_o they_o die_v before_o they_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n preach_v that_o they_o may_v believe_v be_v save_v by_o election_n if_o they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n for_o as_o the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n pertain_v to_o they_o only_o that_o live_v to_o hear_v the_o gospel_n preach_v to_o which_o they_o may_v give_v credit_n and_o bring_v for_o the_o fruit_n of_o good_a work_v according_o to_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n glory_n so_o the_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n by_o faith_n only_o pertain_v to_o they_o and_o not_o to_o infant_n and_o therefore_o your_o assertion_n that_o infant_n be_v justify_v by_o baptism_n come_v near_a to_o the_o error_n of_o the_o anabaptist_n for_o both_o you_o and_o they_o require_v faith_n necessary_a to_o be_v in_o all_o they_o that_o shall_v be_v baptize_v whereupon_o spring_v two_o heresy_n the_o one_o of_o the_o anabaptist_n deny_v the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n because_o they_o have_v no_o faith_n the_o other_o of_o the_o papist_n fantasi_v that_o they_o have_v faith_n and_o therefore_o be_v justify_v by_o baptism_n whereas_o the_o saying_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n which_o be_v misunderstoode_v of_o you_o both_o he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v shall_v be_v save_v must_v with_o all_o equity_n be_v expound_v accord_v to_o the_o matter_n whereof_o he_o speak_v accord_v to_o the_o word_n go_v before_o which_o be_v go_v into_o all_o the_o world_n and_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o

man_n be_v baptize_v for_o we_o must_v remember_v that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n do_v not_o in_o that_o place_n institute_v baptism_n but_o show_v how_o it_o must_v be_v add_v as_o a_o seal_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o confirmation_n of_o the_o believer_n and_o for_o a_o testimony_n of_o their_o profession_n but_o sing_v that_o god_n have_v also_o a_o secret_a operation_n in_o baptism_n whereby_o the_o child_n of_o god_o be_v regenerate_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o that_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n extend_v by_o his_o promise_n not_o only_o to_o ourselves_o but_o also_o to_o the_o seed_n of_o we_o that_o be_v faithful_a we_o minister_v the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n to_o our_o infant_n also_o because_o they_o be_v comprehend_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o god_n

in_o the_o church_n accord_v to_o his_o holy_a institution_n and_o this_o justification_n by_o faith_n only_o we_o do_v not_o make_v to_o be_v a_o inconstant_a quality_n of_o righteousness_n that_o
