which_o man_n usual_o urge_v to_o prove_v it_o viz_o coloss_n 2._o 11_o 12._o prove_v no_o such_o matter_n for_o true_o if_o we_o mind_n that_o place_n the_o apostle_n there_o show_v how_o that_o

or_o destroy_v those_o lust_n and_o corruption_n that_o be_v in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o flesh_n which_o be_v by_o the_o circumcision_n of_o christ_n if_o we_o serious_o consider_v it_o we_o shall_v find_v circumcision_n end_v in_o christ_n for_o he_o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n to_o which_o circumcision_n bind_v the_o jew_n and_o fulfil_v it_o for_o we_o and_o whereas_o the_o apostle_n say_v bury_v with_o he_o in_o baptism_n wherein_o also_o you_o be_v rise_v with_o he_o through_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o operation_n of_o god_n he_o go_v forward_o to_o confirm_v they_o in_o this_o that_o their_o completeness_n be_v in_o the_o death_n and_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n which_o they_o hold_v forth_o in_o baptism_n i_o profess_v serious_o i_o have_v weigh_v that_o scripture_n and_o can_v find_v no_o other_o ground_n to_o judge_v it_o prove_v baptism_n to_o come_v in_o the_o place_n of_o circumcision_n than_o this_o because_o baptism_n follow_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n which_o if_o that_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n to_o prove_v it_o we_o may_v as_o well_o say_v because_o in_o the_o six_o verse_n of_o the_o say_v 2._o of_o coloss_n it_o be_v write_v as_o you_o have_v therefore_o

will_v be_v strange_a doctrine_n i_o confess_v there_o may_v be_v some_o allusion_n between_o baptism_n and_o circumcision_n but_o that_o the_o one_o shall_v answer_v the_o other_o in_o every_o

clear_o that_o there_o be_v no_o ground_n at_o all_o to_o baptize_v infant_n now_o because_o they_o be_v then_o circumeesed_a which_o i_o thus_o prove_v first_o i_o say_v for_o circumcision_n of_o infant_n it_o be_v express_o command_v of_o god_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n second_o the_o male_a be_v only_o to_o be_v circumcise_a but_o both_o male_a and_o

baptist_n together_o again_o the_o subject_n of_o the_o two_o ministration_n be_v far_o different_a the_o one_o a_o natural_a see_v the_o other_o a_o spiritual_a seed_n now_o we_o know_v no_o other_o spiritual_a seed_n but_o believer_n visible_o profess_v their_o faith_n though_o we_o have_v not_o a_o express_a command_n to_o baptize_v infant_n yet_o there_o be_v object_n a_o virtual_a command_n in_o circumcision_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v the_o conformity_n to_o a_o command_n must_v not_o sol._n outgo_v the_o command_n now_o if_o there_o be_v any_o command_n in_o circumcision_n it_o bind_v
