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 those_o that_o pay_v tithe_n and_o such_o as_o receive_v tithe_n deny_v the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n but_o tithe_n or_o the_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 abrahnm_n which_o be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o christ_n by_o his_o death_n and_o by_o the_o work_n of_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 prove_v it_o in_o these_o word_n also_o i_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o lord_n say_v who_o shall_v i_o send_v and_o who_o will_v go_v for_o we_o then_o i_o say_v here_o be_o i_o send_v i_o and_o 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

have_v remove_v man_n far_o away_o and_o there_o be_v a_o great_a for_o sake_z in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o land_n but_o yet_o in_o it_o mark_n that_o shall_v be_v a_o ten_o and_o it_o shall_v

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

lamb_n i_o can_v say_v much_o to_o this_o but_o i_o pass_v mind_v this_o discourse_n be_v but_o a_o digression_n from_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n and_o whereas_o you_o ask_v i_o what_o command_v 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

on_o they_o the_o woman_n be_v include_v as_o you_o have_v grant_v from_o the_o word_n anthropos_n and_o that_o word_n be_v not_o only_o use_v in_o the_o corinth_n but_o also_o to_o the_o ephesian_n

according_a to_o the_o true_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n and_o your_o own_o grant_n and_o so_o i_o be_o come_v to_o your_o last_o argument_n as_o touch_v infant_n baptism_n 3._o ephes_n 2_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 call_v they_o child_n of_o wrath_n only_o who_o walk_v in_o sinful_a and_o evil_a course_n but_o i_o answer_v say_v you_o that_o that_o exposition_n give_v the_o text_n the_o lie_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v you_o be_v much_o mistake_v in_o what_o you_o say_v for_o nature_n be_v that_o which_o lead_v from_o sin_n &_o not_o to_o sin_n &_o those_o that_o be_v not_o lead_v by_o it_o 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 and_o establish_v it_o to_o be_v sure_a it_o be_v not_o by_o christ_n nor_o his_o apostle_n but_o i_o may_v say_v as_o paul_n say_v in_o another_o case_n a_o point_n of_o your_o own_o have_v confess_v 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 the_o fountain_n head_n answer_v i_o have_v also_o read_v what_o man_n have_v say_v for_o and_o against_o the_o antiquity_n of_o that_o practice_n but_o i_o find_v christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n to_o be_v the_o very_o best_a author_n and_o whereas_o you_o say_v it_o be_v practise_v near_o the_o primitive_a time_n the_o which_o be_v near_o the_o fountain_n head_n answer_v it_o argue_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o never_o the_o more_o for_o be_v near_o the_o apostle_n time_n unless_o you_o can_v prove_v it_o to_o be_v practise_v by_o the_o apostle_n for_o we_o be_v not_o ignorant_a of_o this_o one_o thing_n that_o there_o be_v false_a doctrine_n crope_v in_o to_o the_o true_a church_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n and_o therefore_o likely_a it_o be_v that_o false_a doctrine_n shall_v be_v broach_v in_o the_o world_n and_o

secret_n will_v never_o intend_v they_o shall_v do_v as_o first_o he_o command_v pharaoh_n to_o let_v israel_n go_v and_o second_o command_v abraham_n to_o offer_v up_o isaac_n and_o do_v not_o intend_v they_o shall_v do_v it_o answer_v and_o to_o the_o first_o that_o be_v god_n do_v command_v pharaoh_n to_o let_v israel_n go_v and_o yet_o do_v not_o intend_v he_o shall_v let_v they_o go_v to_o which_o i_o say_v god_n do_v intend_v that_o pharaoh_n shall_v let_v they_o go_v although_o god_n know_v that_o pharaoh_n at_o the_o first_o will_v not_o let_v they_o go_v but_o god_n before_o knowledge_n that_o man_n will_v do_v evil_a be_v not_o the_o cause_n that_o they_o do_v evil_a god_n know_v that_o cain_n will_v stay_v abel_n yet_o he_o be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o his_o so_o do_v but_o you_o will_v say_v that_o god_n harden_v pharoahs_n heart_n answ_n so_o he_o may_v just_o do_v as_o i_o shall_v show_v the_o cause_n in_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o nine_o of_o the_o roman_n if_o the_o lord_n please_v but_o that_o be_v not_o our_o question_n but_o our_o question_n be_v whether_o god_n do_v intend_v pharaoh_n shall_v let_v israel_n go_v we_o argue_v no●_n the_o case_n whether_o he_o shall_v have_v let_v they_o go-soon_a or_o late_a but_o single_o thus_o whether_o pharaoh_n shall_v let_v israel_n go_v the_o which_o i_o do_v affirm_v that_o god_n do_v intend_v that_o pharaoh_n shall_v let_v israel_n go_v and_o the_o lord_n say_v that_o he_o know_v that_o he_o will_v let_v they_o go_v although_o not_o at_o the_o first_o as_o you_o may_v see_v exod._n 3.19_o 20._o and_o if_o pharaoh_n have_v let_v they_o go_v at_o the_o first_o be_v have_v not_o sin_v in_o so_o do_v yet_o it_o please_v god_n to_o show_v to_o moses_n that_o he_o will_v harden_v his_o heart_n be_v use_v he_o have_v harden_v himself_o against_o he_o so_o that_o israel_n must_v not_o expect_v to_o go_v present_o and_o yet_o the_o lord_n show_v moses_n that_o he_o will_v so_o weary_v he_o with_o his_o sign_n that_o he_o will_v make_v he_o willing_a to_o let_v israel_n go_v at_o the_o last_o these_o two_o thing_n observe_v first_o that_o god_n intend_v when_o he_o have_v try_v pharaoh_n by_o his_o sign_n that_o he_o shall_v let_v israel_n go_v god_n do_v not_o harden_v pharoahs_n heart_n on_o purpose_n to_o keep_v israel_n from_o go_v but_o because_o pharaoh_n have_v slit_v the_o lord_n in_o say_v who_o be_v the_o lord_n i_o will_v not_o obey_v his_o voice_n and_o let_v you_o go_v that_o therefore_o the_o lord_n do_v harden_v pharaoh_n when_o first_o pharaoh_n have_v harden_v lord_n the_o scripture_n say_v that_o pharaoh_n harden_v his_o heart_n against_o the_o lord_n himself_o that_o he_o may_v know_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v strong_a than_o he_o i_o may_v spend_v much_o time_n in_o run_v through_o the_o cause_n of_o thing_n but_o of_o that_o anon_o and_o second_o take_v notice_n this_o be_v not_o god_n secret_a will_n namely_o in_o appoint_v pharaoh_n not_o to_o let_v israel_n go_v when_o he_o have_v command_v he_o to_o let_v they_o go_v but_o it_o be_v his_o reveal_v will_n make_v know_v to_o mosis_fw-la and_o aaron_n and_o in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o come_v to_o examine_v the_o matter_n as_o touch_v god_n command_v of_o abraham_n offer_v up_o isaac_n and_o so_o shall_v p●ss_v from_o this_o particular_a to_o the_o second_o argument_n i_o shall_v be_v very_o brief_a say_v that_o in_o a_o sense_n as_o beforesaid_a abraham_n do_v offer_v up_o isaac_n and_o also_o this_o be_v not_o a_o secret_a thing_n because_o the_o scripture_n say_v it_o be_v but_o to_o try_v abraham_n as_o i_o have_v before_o prove_v therefore_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o three_o argument_n the_o second_o you_o grant_v to_o be_v true_a and_o the_o three_o be_v if_o adam_n in_o his_o best_a condition_n as_o he_o stand_v in_o paradise_n before_o the_o fall_n be_v but_o a_o earthly_a man_n adam_n in_o his_o best_a estate_n be_v but_o a_o earthly_a man_n man_n and_o all_o his_o enjoyment_n earthly_a than_o he_o can_v loose_v no_o more_o than_o what_o he_o have_v to_o loose_v which_o be_v but_o earthly_a but_o adam_n in_o his_o best_a condition_n be_v and_o enjoy_v but_o as_o beforesaid_a ergo_fw-la all_o that_o he_o lose_v be_v but_o earthly_a enjoyment_n your_o answer_n seem_v very_o weak_a in_o my_o opinion_n which_o be_v say_v you_o all_o sin_v in_o adam_n to_o condemnation_n or_o damnation_n and_o hence_o insant_n by_o nature_n be_v child_n of_o wrath_n or_o otherwise_o say_v you_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o hebrew_n text_n in_o die_v thou_o shall_v die_v ndifferent_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d or_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d or_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o which_o be_v guilt_n or_o cause_n of_o punishment_n or_o judgement_n the_o which_o may_v be_v take_v for_o the_o first_o or_o second_o death_n as_o the_o scripture_n offer_v it_o unto_o we_o ndifferent_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o first_o to_o the_o first_o which_o be_v all_o sin_v in_o adam_n say_v you_o to_o condemnation_n it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o for_o adam_n sin_n all_o man_n be_v condemn_v for_o say_v god_n dust_n thou_o be_v and_o to_o dust_n thou_o shall_v return_v mean_v not_o only_a adam_n but_o all_o his_o line_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v appoint_v once_o for_o man_n to_o die_v for_o we_o must_v needs_o die_v and_o be_v like_o water_n spill_v upon_o the_o ground_n and_o as_o i_o have_v say_v the_o word_n condemnation_n will_v not_o help_v you_o because_o there_o be_v the_o very_a same_o in_o luke_n 23.40_o and_o yet_o it_o be_v only_o a_o temporal_a death_n and_o so_o i_o be_o come_v to_o the_o next_o thing_n which_o be_v that_o infant_n say_v you_o be_v child_n of_o wrath_n by_o nature_n if_o you_o mean_v they_o be_v child_n of_o wrath_n as_o in_o respect_n to_o outward_a punishment_n we_o differ_v not_o because_o god_n justice_n must_v be_v satisfy_v for_o god_n thereupon_o to_o inflict_v it_o if_o he_o sin_v but_o he_o do_v sin_n therefore_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v punish_v otherwise_o justice_n not_o satisfy_v because_o there_o be_v no_o repentance_n give_v or_o require_v as_o in_o reference_n to_o that_o sin_n but_o if_o you_o suppose_v that_o infant_n be_v child_n of_o wrath_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o punishment_n to_o the_o second_o death_n we_o much_o differ_v and_o i_o will_v give_v you_o seven_o year_n time_n to_o prove_v it_o in_o which_o time_n prove_v it_o if_o you_o can_v and_o whereas_o you_o ask_v i_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o hebrew_n word_n in_o die_v thou_o shall_v die_v i_o answer_v as_o beforesaid_a that_o so_o soon_o as_o adam_n have_v eat_v he_o be_v in_o a_o die_a condition_n and_o so_o be_v all_o man_n die_v until_o they_o be_v dead_a so_o that_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o life_n we_o be_v in_o death_n continue_v not_o in_o one_o stay_v and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o examime_v what_o you_o say_v to_o my_o five_o argument_n which_o be_v that_o opinion_n which_o in_o the_o extent_n of_o it_o will_v make_v the_o devil_n to_o speak_v true_a and_o god_n to_o lie_v be_v anabsurd_a blasphemous_a opinion_n but_o such_o be_v the_o opinion_n that_o say_v that_o the_o death_n that_o god_n threaten_v to_o adam_n be_v the_o second_o death_n and_o yet_o that_o second_o death_n not_o inflict_v for_o that_o sin_n on_o adam_n and_o all_o his_o line_n so_o he_o say_v god_n speak_v false_o and_o the_o devil_n truth_n ergo_fw-la that_o opinion_n a_o obhor_v &_o blasphemous_a opinion_n but_o the_o minor_a be_v false_a as_o you_o say_v for_o say_v you_o although_o god_n threaten_v adam_n with_o eternal_a death_n yet_o he_o lie_v not_o in_o inflict_v it_o because_o he_o threaten_v be_v to_o dehort_v adam_n from_o sin_n not_o his_o peremptory_a
