that_o he_o have_v alter_v his_o note_n for_o his_o first_o argument_n in_o both_o his_o treatise_n of_o baptism_n be_v this_o because_o the_o britain_n receive_v the_o christian_a faith_n doctrine_n

believe_v episcopal_a government_n to_o be_v so_o express_o set_v down_o in_o the_o word_n and_o mr._n fox_n tell_v we_o as_o before_o that_o no_o less_o than_o seven_o bishop_n and_o a_o archbishop_n come_v out_o of_o wales_n at_o augustine_n summons_n who_o be_v also_o so_o proud_a that_o want_v some_o ceremonious_a observance_n at_o their_o first_o come_v to_o austin_n they_o take_v such_o

can_v see_v but_o both_o austin_n and_o they_o be_v to_o be_v blame_v who_o so_o much_o neglect_v their_o spiritual_a duty_n in_o revenge_v their_o temporal_a injury_n that_o they_o deny_v to_o join_v

forget_v and_o for_o which_o cause_n he_o conceive_v the_o stroke_n of_o god_n punishment_n do_v light_a upon_o they_o afterward_o the_o business_n of_o infants-baptism_n never_o enter_v into_o this_o

be_v because_o they_o be_v zealous_a impugner_n of_o tradition_n but_o by_o the_o story_n we_o find_v no_o such_o zeal_n unless_o it_o be_v against_o austin_n for_o not_o honour_v they_o and_o beside_o this_o argument_n of_o mr._n danvers_n be_v altogether_o precarious_a for_o we_o have_v show_v before_o that_o though_o austin_n hold_v infants-baptism_n a_o tradition_n yet_o withal_o it_o be_v in_o his_o opinion_n ground_v on_o circumcision_n and_o the_o papist_n as_o bellarmine_n affirm_v the_o warrantableness_n of_o it_o may_v be_v collect_v from_o scripture_n but_o to_o make_v short_a work_n with_o it_o i_o deny_v that_o they_o be_v such_o impugner_n of_o tradition_n if_o the_o discpline_n of_o arch-bishop_n and_o the_o observation_n of_o easter_n be_v tradition_n as_o mr._n danvers_n judge_v they_o to_o be_v for_o as_o the_o difference_n between_o austin_n and_o they_o be_v not_o about_o the_o subject_a of_o baptism_n but_o the_o ceremony_n so_o they_o differ_v not_o about_o keep_v easter_n but_o only_o as_o to_o the_o circumstance_n of_o time_n when_o it_o be_v to_o be_v keep_v that_o the_o britain_n and_o pict_n keep_v easter_n though_o not_o at_o the_o same_o time_n as_o the_o romish_a church_n do_v see_v mr._n fox_n act._n mon._n page_n 111._o where_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o a_o synod_n in_o which_o the_o controversy_n about_o keep_v easter_n be_v debate_v before_o king_n oswie_n alfrid_n father_n and_o it_o be_v say_v coleman_n then_o bishop_n of_o northumberland_n follow_v not_o the_o custom_n of_o rome_n nor_o of_o the_o saxon_n but_o the_o pict_n and_o britain_n in_o celebrate_v easter_n from_o the_o 14_o day_n of_o the_o first_o month_n till_o the_o 28_o of_o the_o same_o against_o who_o wilfrid_n reply_v the_o easter_n we_o

accomplice_n the_o pict_n and_o britain_n 3._o reason_n be_v because_o constantine_n the_o son_n of_o christian_a parent_n be_v not_o baptise_a till_o age_a so_o in_o his_o treatise_n of_o baptism_n but_o in_o his_o reply_n it_o be_v not_o baptize_v in_o this_o island_n but_o we_o have_v show_v constantius_n his_o father_n be_v no_o christian_n at_o constantine_n birth_n and_o in_o all_o likelihood_n live_v and_o die_v a_o pagan_a though_o he_o have_v much_o respect_n for_o christian_n and_o even_o constantine_n himself_o be_v a_o pagan_a for_o sometime_o after_o he_o be_v emperor_n 4._o another_o of_o his_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o britain_n be_v to_o baptize_v after_o confession_n of_o faith_n be_v in_o union_n and_o communion_n therein_o with_o the_o french_a christian_n and_o i_o tell_v he_o this_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n to_o prove_v they_o be_v for_o infants-baptism_n because_o the_o french_a christian_n afterward_o call_v waldenses_n be_v for_o it_o and_o have_v use_v it_o so_o many_o hundred_o year_n witness_v the_o confession_n at_o angrogne_n nor_o will_v mr._n danvers_n his_o old_a salvo_n serve_v his_o turn_n which_o be_v that_o the_o ancient_a waldenses_n be_v against_o infants-baptism_n though_o he_o can_v but_o grant_v the_o more_o modern_a be_v for_o it_o for_o we_o have_v meet_v with_o something_o of_o late_a that_o must_v needs_o convince_v he_o and_o that_o be_v that_o infants-baptism_n be_v practise_v in_o the_o country_n where_o the_o waldenses_n do_v inhabit_v near_o twelve_o hundred_o year_n since_o for_o the_o famous_a french_a historian_n john_n de_fw-fr serres_n in_o his_o history_n of_o france_n translate_v into_o english_a tell_v we_o p._n 12._o that_o anno_fw-la christi_fw-la 500_o clovis_n the_o

be_v against_o infants-baptism_n be_v because_o austin_n himself_o be_v so_o raw_a and_o ignorant_a in_o the_o rite_n that_o when_o he_o come_v into_o britain_n and_o the_o question_n be_v here_o

be_v so_o raw_a a_o argument_n indeed_o to_o prove_v the_o britain_n be_v against_o infants-baptism_n that_o instead_o of_o a_o answer_n it_o deserve_v to_o be_v laugh_v at_o for_o at_o this_o very_a
