some_o other_o sign_n but_o for_o the_o great_a elucidation_n i_o will_v break_v the_o argument_n abroad_o into_o short_a sillogisme_n abraham_n seed_n must_v keep_v god_n covenant_n the_o believe_a gentile_n be_v abraham_n seed_n therefore_o the_o believe_a gentile_n must_v keep_v god_n covenant_n to_o keep_v god_n covenant_n be_v to_o keep_v the_o sign_n of_o it_o the_o believe_a gentile_n must_v keep_v god_n covenant_n therefore_o the_o believe_a gentile_n must_v keep_v the_o sign_n of_o it_o to_o keep_v the_o sign_n of_o god_n covenant_n be_v to_o wear_v it_o themselves_o and_o to_o

keep_v the_o covenant_n and_o to_o keep_v the_o covenant_n be_v to_o keep_v the_o sign_n thou_o shall_v keep_v my_o covenant_n therefore_o thou_o and_o thy_o seed_n a_o sign_n of_o the_o covenant_n then_o there_o must_v be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o seed_n else_o how_o shall_v the_o seed_n keep_v it_o they_o can_v keep_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o covenant_n if_o the_o covenant_n have_v no_o sign_n some_o sign_n then_o the_o believe_a gentile_n which_o be_v the_o seed_n must_v keep_v by_o wear_v it_o themselves_o and_o put_v it_o on_o all_o they_o and_o if_o any_o let_v this_o disputer_n tell_v as_o i_o say_v whither_o it_o shall_v be_v baptism_n or_o circumcision_n or_o what_o for_o i_o need_v to_o go_v no_o further_o only_o here_o as_o we_o go_v along_o it_o may_v not_o be_v unfit_a in_o order_n to_o the_o prevent_v of_o further_a calumny_n to_o observe_v that_o when_o i_o speak_v in_o reference_n to_o a_o sign_n of_o take_v it_o themselves_o and_o put_v it_o on_o all_o they_o i_o mean_v nothing_o but_o their_o be_v sign_v themselves_o and_o their_o see_v that_o all_o they_o be_v also_o sign_v without_o consider_v here_o or_o intend_v to_o consider_v who_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o the_o sign_n but_o only_o who_o be_v the_o subject_a this_o be_v my_o argument_n which_o in_o my_o letter_n i_o do_v lay_v on_o four_o proposition_n first_o that_o the_o covenant_n or_o blessing_n of_o abraham_n which_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v that_o covenant_n of_o god_n under_o which_o believe_v gentile_n the_o spiritual_a seed_n of_o abraham_n be_v and_o be_v the_o blessing_n that_o do_v descend_v on_o the_o gentile_n second_o that_o all_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n that_o have_v the_o benefit_n and_o advantage_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o blessing_n of_o abraham_n be_v under_o equal_a obligation_n to_o the_o duty_n and_o incumbence_n of_o that_o covenant_n of_o that_o blessing_n as_o abraham_n himself_o three_o that_o the_o duty_n or_o incumbence_n arise_v from_o the_o covenant_n or_o bless_v make_v to_o abraham_n be_v that_o in_o token_n of_o his_o dedication_n of_o himself_o and_o of_o all_o his_o unto_o god_n he_o shall_v take_v himself_o and_o shall_v put_v upon_o all_o his_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o covenant_n which_o be_v the_o mark_n and_o sign_n of_o god_n four_o that_o from_o abraham_n dedication_n of_o himself_o and_o of_o all_o his_o unto_o god_n there_o arise_v a_o distinction_n of_o holiness_n into_o internal_a and_o external_n absolute_a and_o relative_n and_o that_o this_o distinction_n be_v evangelical_n from_o these_o ground_n i_o draw_v the_o former_a conclusion_n and_o you_o may_v take_v the_o argument_n from_o they_o brief_o thus._n the_o blessing_n do_v descend_v upon_o the_o believe_a gentile_n and_o therefore_o the_o proper_a duty_n of_o that_o blessing_n do_v descend_v also_o and_o this_o be_v the_o proper_a duty_n of_o that_o blessing_n to_o see_v that_o both_o themselves_o and_o all_o they_o be_v sign_v in_o token_n of_o god_n propriety_n and_o the_o believer_n that_o give_v himself_o sincere_o be_v internal_o holy_a and_o those_o that_o be_v give_v by_o he_o be_v external_o so_o it_o be_v you_o see_v in_o the_o former_a four_o proposition_n which_o even_o my_o adversary_n himself_o do_v also_o acknowledge_v pag._n 25._o that_o the_o main_a strength_n of_o my_o argument_n for_o infant_n baptism_n consist_v and_o yet_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o hitherto_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o any_o criticism_n much_o less_o of_o exactness_n of_o criticism_n and_o least_o of_o all_o of_o exactness_n of_o criticism_n as_o a_o part_n of_o humane_a learning_n either_o to_o conceive_v or_o to_o make_v it_o but_o as_o it_o be_v i_o pray_v you_o let_v we_o take_v a_o view_n of_o his_o reply_n unto_o it_o compare_v what_o i_o say_v for_o infant_n baptism_n with_o what_o he_o answer_v to_o that_o i_o say_v but_o before_o we_o do_v so_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o tell_v you_o that_o his_o way_n of_o reply_v thrust_n into_o my_o thought_n a_o story_n i_o have_v read_v long_o ago_o in_o keckerman_n and_o i_o hope_v i_o may_v be_v pardon_v if_o i_o shall_v tell_v one_o story_n when_o he_o do_v many_o it_o be_v that_o a_o certain_a respondent_fw-la be_v nonplus_v by_o his_o opponent_n and_o unable_a to_o conceive_v any_o sensible_a answer_n to_o return_v to_o he_o make_v use_n of_o two_o nonsensical_a but_o strong_a word_n to_o chouse_v he_o if_o say_v he_o mr._n opponent_n you_o do_v take_v it_o archepadial●ter_v i_o grant_v it_o but_o if_o reflexive_a i_o deny_v it_o that_o be_v if_o you_o take_v it_o nonsensica_o one_o way_n i_o grant_v it_o if_o you_o take_v it_o nonsensica_o another_o way_n i_o deny_v it_o and_o thus_o i_o take_v it_o my_o respondent_fw-la deal_v with_o i_o and_o he_o may_v be_v sure_a and_o i_o believe_v he_o know_v it_o that_o i_o have_v not_o be_v the_o only_a person_n who_o have_v say_v so_o of_o he_o on_o this_o occasion_n i_o hope_v you_o will_v not_o think_v i_o go_v about_o to_o abuse_v he_o it_o be_v the_o very_a truth_n i_o tell_v you_o for_o what_o distinct_a what_o proper_a sense_n be_v there_o in_o what_o he_o say_v in_o answer_n or_o what_o application_n of_o it_o can_v be_v make_v to_o either_o proposition_n which_o yet_o he_o will_v be_v think_v to_o reply_v unto_o but_o indeed_o do_v only_o elude_v for_o in_o answer_n to_o the_o several_a four_o forementioned_a proposition_n he_o speak_v thus._n in_o your_o first_o proposition_n i_o only_o allow_v the_o spiritual_a essence_n of_o the_o covenant_n to_o descend_v upon_o believe_a gentile_n but_o that_o the_o additament_n and_o appendage_n be_v variable_a thing_n and_o separable_a from_o it_o do_v not_o necessary_o descend_v with_o it_o i_o have_v elsewhere_o at_o large_a evince_v unto_o you_o here_o he_o shall_v have_v tell_v we_o what_o be_v the_o essence_n what_o the_o spiritual_a essence_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o what_o the_o additament_n and_o shall_v have_v apply_v it_o in_o your_o second_o proposition_n i_o allow_v that_o the_o seed_n of_o believe_a gentile_n that_o have_v the_o benefit_n of_o abraham_n covenant_n and_o to_o who_o it_o be_v make_v be_v under_o a_o equal_a obligation_n unto_o those_o proper_a duty_n and_o service_n now_o require_v of_o they_o as_o abraham_n be_v himself_o understanding_n it_o of_o the_o adult_n believe_v offspring_n and_o not_o the_o infant_n of_o believe_a gentile_n my_o second_o proposition_n speak_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n viz._n the_o believe_a gentile_n his_o
