of_o christ_n a_o lie_a sign_n be_v unlawful_a but_o the_o baptise_n of_o infant_n make_v the_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n a_o lie_a sign_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v unlawful_a the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o argument_n we_o grant_v but_o the_o second_o part_n here_o be_v the_o old_a frame_n a_o bare_a affirmation_n but_o no_o proof_n that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v expect_v but_o it_o shall_v be_v prove_v but_o here_o be_v deep_a silence_n it_o shall_v have_v be_v prove_v that_o god_n work_v faith_n in_o infant_n be_v elect_v that_o die_v before_o they_o be_v baptize_v and_o if_o mr._n
