the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o the_o promise_n be_v to_o you_o and_o to_o your_o child_n object_n if_o they_o say_v then_o sure_o these_o child_n be_v in_o the_o covenant_n see_v the_o

be_v already_o say_v thereto_o yet_o nevertheless_o i_o will_v further_o demonstrate_v the_o same_o by_o these_o reason_n first_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v equal_o to_o they_o and_o to_o their_o child_n and_o to_o they_o that_o be_v a_o far_o off_o but_o these_o which_o be_v a_o far_o off_o be_v not_o within_o the_o covenant_n by_o the_o promise_n until_o they_o believe_v the_o same_o second_o if_o they_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n by_o have_v this_o promise_n make_v to_o they_o than_o be_v they_o of_o the_o new_a covenant_n and_o church_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o there_o be_v no_o other_o people_n to_o be_v account_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n save_o those_o which_o be_v of_o this_o church_n but_o those_o be_v not_o of_o this_o church_n but_o they_o be_v afterward_o add_v thereunto_o as_o appear_v ver_fw-la 41._o and_o therefore_o be_v not_o of_o it_o before_o and_o consequent_o notwithstanding_o the_o promise_n be_v so_o to_o they_o and_o their_o child_n yet_o neither_o they_o nor_o their_o child_n be_v of_o the_o covenant_n nor_o church_n until_o they_o do_v believe_v although_o they_o be_v jew_n and_o so_o the_o child_n of_o faithful_a abraham_n their_o second_o argument_n be_v from_o those_o place_n which_o speak_v of_o baptise_v whole_a household_n for_o say_v they_o there_o may_v be_v infant_n in_o the_o household_n thence_o they_o conclude_v that_o infant_n may_v be_v baptise_a to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o there_o may_v be_v no_o infant_n there_o and_o my_o negative_a be_v as_o good_a as_o their_o affirmative_a without_o any_o proof_n

hence_o to_o conclude_v that_o therefore_o baptism_n be_v nothing_o be_v very_o absurd_a it_o be_v command_v we_o unless_o to_o obey_v and_o disobey_v christ_n be_v all_o one_o and_o yet_o in_o some_o

thus_o they_o reason_n as_o the_o covenant_n and_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o abraham_n be_v a_o faithful_a man_n and_o his_o seed_n and_o thereupon_o all_o his_o seed_n be_v circumcise_v in_o time_n
