to_o the_o baptismal_a covenant_n i_o be_o none_o of_o those_o that_o believe_v that_o god_n who_o be_v a_o spirit_n lay_v so_o much_o upon_o the_o application_n of_o the_o water_n as_o to_o damn_v any_o such_o infant_n mere_o for_o the_o want_n of_o it_o and_o though_o i_o can_v subscribe_v to_o as_o much_o more_o as_o some_o will_v have_v i_o who_o think_v so_o much_o better_a of_o their_o

to_o their_o covenant_n relation_n while_o they_o vehement_o plead_v against_o it_o for_o sure_o they_o have_v so_o much_o natural_a affection_n that_o if_o they_o do_v think_v that_o god_n will_v

have_v make_v necessary_a to_o his_o salvation_n as_o i_o say_v before_o i_o think_v they_o give_v too_o much_o to_o baptism_n who_o say_v that_o god_n will_v either_o save_v any_o one_o by_o it_o who_o want_v other_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n or_o that_o he_o will_v damn_v any_o for_o want_n of_o it_o that_o be_v of_o the_o wash_n of_o the_o body_n who_o want_v nothing_o else_o which_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o i_o doubt_v they_o that_o say_v otherwise_o will_v prove_v dishonourer_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n by_o feign_v it_o to_o be_v too_o like_a to_o the_o heathenish_a superstition_n lay_v man_n salvation_n on_o a_o ceremony_n as_o of_o absolute_a necessity_n and_o i_o be_o confident_a it_o be_v contrary_a to_o christ_n redouble_a lesson_n go_v

industrious_o teach_v i_o and_o which_o have_v be_v long_o write_v so_o deep_o on_o my_o heart_n as_o have_v make_v all_o unmerciful_a persecution_n and_o separation_n and_o alienation_n very_o displease_v to_o i_o §_o 4._o i_o have_v prove_v afterward_o that_o even_a augustine_n himself_o do_v as_o on_o great_a deliberation_n assert_v that_o where_o the_o ministry_n of_o baptism_n be_v not_o despise_v heart_n conversion_n without_o it_o suffice_v to_o salvation_n in_o the_o adult_n and_o no_o scripture_n or_o reason_n do_v make_v it_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o infant_n if_o not_o to_o the_o adult_n §_o 5._o and_o if_o heathen_n infant_n be_v not_o damn_v mere_o for_o want_n of_o outward_a baptism_n nor_o yet_o for_o want_v of_o the_o consent_n of_o other_o either_o because_o that_o other_o man_n consent_n who_o be_v stranger_n to_o they_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o their_o salvation_n or_o if_o it_o be_v necessary_a they_o have_v it_o at_o a_o distance_n than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o all_o the_o infant_n of_o heathen_n be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n unless_o somewhat_o else_o be_v yet_o prove_v necessary_a to_o it_o and_o if_o they_o be_v all_o
