than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o abraham_n in_o soul_n be_v live_v 2._o this_o be_v not_o direct_o prove_v from_o this_o text_n but_o another_o principle_n must_v be_v take_v in_o to_o support_v it_o viz._n that_o god_n be_v not_o the_o god_n of_o the_o dead_a but_o the_o live_n 3._o if_o abraham_n soul_n be_v live_v than_o his_o body_n must_v needs_o be_v raise_v 4._o if_o abraham_n body_n

obtain_v the_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a and_o then_o when_o he_o have_v do_v he_o conclude_v that_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a be_v so_o plain_a that_o even_a moses_n show_v it_o

but_o mr._n baxter_n be_v none_o such_o therefore_o we_o weigh_v they_o not_o 5._o whereas_o mr._n baxter_n be_v please_v to_o say_v if_o we_o have_v stand_v by_o we_o will_v have_v say_v to_o

to_o obtain_v that_o world_n and_o the_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a neither_o marry_o nor_o be_v give_v in_o marriage_n and_o in_o ver_fw-la 37._o he_o say_v that_o the_o dead_a be_v raise_v

do_v conclude_v that_o because_o christ_n do_v not_o bring_v some_o other_o scripture_n that_o be_v write_v before_o to_o prove_v the_o resurrection_n therefore_o he_o prove_v it_o by_o consequence_n

prove_v that_o the_o dead_a shall_v rise_v they_o shall_v have_v it_o and_o i_o will_v confess_v myself_o in_o a_o error_n and_o now_o to_o the_o matter_n 1._o mark_v 12.25_o for_o when_o they_o shall_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a they_o neither_o marry_v nor_o be_v give_v in_o marriage_n now_o do_v you_o show_v a_o scripture_n that_o say_v and_o when_o they_o shall_v baptize_v little_a

cor._n 12.25_o 26._o where_o we_o read_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o schism_n in_o the_o body_n but_o that_o the_o member_n shall_v have_v the_o same_o care_n one_o of_o another_o but_o infant_n that_o can_v neither_o speak_v nor_o understand_v can_v can_v have_v the_o same_o care_n that_o church_n member_n ought_v to_o have_v over_o one_o another_o for_o they_o have_v no_o care_n at_o all_o therefore_o no_o visible_a member_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n if_o they_o be_v than_o they_o be_v to_o be_v deal_v with_o and_o reprove_v for_o not_o have_v that_o christian_a care_n as_o aforesaid_a argument_n viii_o my_o eight_o argument_n from_o eph._n 2.23_o where_o paul_n speak_v to_o the_o church_n of_o ephesus_n say_v that_o they_o all_o have_v their_o conversation_n in_o time_n past_o according_a to_o the_o course_n of_o the_o world_n in_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n fulfil_v the_o desire_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o mind_n etc._n etc._n but_o little_a infant_n that_o can_v neither_o speak_v nor_o understand_v be_v a_o month_n or_o a_o year_n old_a can_v not_o have_v their_o conversation_n in_o time_n pass_v after_o such_o a_o manner_n for_o they_o know_v not_o what_o belong_v to_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n nor_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o mind_n till_o they_o come_v to_o speak_v and_o understand_v the_o practice_n of_o other_o all_o that_o can_v be_v lay_v to_o their_o charge_n before_o be_v but_o original_a sin_n but_o the_o church_n ephesus_n have_v all_o their_o conversation_n thus_o in_o time_n past_a therefore_o no_o little_a infant_n be_v church-member_n among_o they_o argument_n ix_o my_o nine_o argument_n be_v from_o 1_o thess_n 5.2_o 4_o 5._o where_o the_o apostle_n say_v ver_fw-la 2._o that_o they_o all_o know_v perfect_o that_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n so_o come_v as_o a_o thief_n in_o the_o night_n that_o he_o speak_v of_o all_o be_v evident_a ver_fw-la 4_o 5._o in_o these_o word_n but_o you_o brethren_n be_v not_o in_o darkness_n that_o that_o day_n shall_v overtake_v you_o as_o a_o thief_n you_o be_v all_o the_o child_n of_o the_o light_n and_o of_o the_o day_n etc._n etc._n but_o little_a child_n that_o can_v speak_v nor_o understand_v be_v no_o such_o child_n of_o the_o light_n as_o to_o know_v perfect_o or_o in_o part_n of_o the_o come_n of_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n for_o they_o know_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o it_o therefore_o no_o such_o infant_n be_v member_n of_o the_o church_n at_o thessalonica_n argument_n x._o my_o ten_o argument_n be_v from_o 1_o thess_n 2.11_o where_o we_o read_v thus_o you_o know_v how_o we_o exhort_v and_o comfort_v and_o charge_v every_o one_o of_o you_o as_o a_o father_n do_v his_o child_n that_o you_o will_v walk_v worthy_a of_o god_n who_o have_v call_v you_o to_o his_o kingdom_n and_o glory_n etc._n etc._n whence_o i_o argue_v thus_o if_o paul_n do_v exhort_v and_o charge_v every_o one_o of_o the_o church_n to_o do_v these_o thing_n than_o indeed_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v there_o be_v no_o infant_n that_o can_v neither_o speak_v nor_o understand_v among_o they_o for_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o exhortation_n nor_o comfort_n nor_o any_o charge_n a_o man_n can_v give_v they_o but_o paul_n do_v exhort_v comfort_n and_o charge_v every_o one_o of_o the_o church_n ver_fw-la 11._o therefore_o no_o such_o infant_n among_o they_o argument_n xi_o my_o eleven_o argument_n be_v from_o heb._n 6.11_o 12._o where_o we_o read_v thus_o and_o we_o desire_v that_o every_o one_o of_o you_o do_v show_v the_o same_o diligence_n to_o the_o full_a assurance_n of_o hope_n to_o the_o end_n that_o you_o be_v not_o slothful_a but_o follower_n of_o they_o who_o through_o faith_n and_o patience_n inherit_v the_o promise_n but_o little_a child_n of_o 8_o or_o 10_o day_n or_o week_n of_o age_n can_v show_v no_o such_o diligence_n to_o the_o full_a assurance_n of_o hope_n to_o the_o end_n neither_o can_v they_o show_v such_o diligence_n in_o follow_v of_o they_o who_o through_o faith_n and_o patience_n do_v inherit_v promise_n for_o they_o have_v no_o undetstanding_n in_o earthly_a thing_n how_o then_o can_v they_o understand_v heavenly_a john_n 3.12_o therefore_o no_o such_o babe_n be_v church-member_n in_o the_o church_n of_o the_o hebrew_n obj._n if_o any_o one_o shall_v object_v and_o say_v the_o exhortation_n be_v not_o to_o all_o and_o therefore_o not_o to_o child_n i_o answer_v the_o text_n heb._n 6.11_o say_v we_o desire_v that_o every_o one_o of_o you_o may_v show_v the_o same_o diligence_n etc._n etc._n argument_n xii_o my_o twelve_o and_o last_o argument_n be_v from_o philip._n 4.21_o 22._o where_o we_o read_v thus_o salute_v every_o saint_n in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o the_o brethren_n that_o be_v with_o i_o salute_v you_o all_o the_o saint_n salute_v you_o chief_o they_o of_o caesar_n house_n from_o whence_o i_o argue_v thus_o if_o all_o the_o saint_n at_o rome_n whence_o this_o epistle_n come_v do_v send_v salutation_n to_o the_o saint_n at_o philippi_n then_o there_o be_v no_o little_a child_n among_o they_o that_o can_v neither_o speak_v nor_o understand_v for_o they_o that_o can_v send_v nothing_o can_v speak_v no_o salutation_n all_o rational_a man_n will_v grant_v but_o all_o the_o saint_n with_o paul_n do_v send_v salutation_n to_o the_o saint_n at_o philippi_n therefore_o second_o i_o argue_v thus_o if_o paul_n himself_o with_o all_o the_o saint_n at_o rome_n do_v send_v salutation_n to_o every_o saint_n in_o christ_n jesus_n that_o be_v at_o pilippi_n than_o every_o saint_n in_o christ_n jesus_n be_v capable_a of_o receive_v salutation_n the_o which_o babe_n of_o 8_o week_n or_o month_n old_a be_v not_o but_o paul_n do_v send_v salutation_n to_o all_o the_o saint_n at_o philippi_n and_o so_o do_v all_o that_o be_v with_o he_o at_o rome_n by_o all_o which_o it_o appear_v plain_o that_o all_o the_o saint_n at_o rome_n be_v capable_a of_o send_v salutation_n and_o every_o saint_n at_o philippi_n be_v capable_a of_o receive_v salutation_n from_o they_o but_o little_a child_n that_o can_v neither_o speak_v nor_o understand_v be_v capable_a of_o neither_o therefore_o its_o evident_a that_o there_o be_v none_o such_o neither_o at_o rome_n nor_o philippi_n church-member_n obj._n if_o any_o shall_v object_v and_o say_v that_o child_n be_v not_o concern_v in_o these_o salutation_n i_o answer_v then_o they_o be_v not_o visible_a saint_n in_o christ_n jesus_n nor_o visible_a member_n of_o his_o body_n the_o church_n as_o mr._n baxter_n say_v they_o be_v for_o the_o text_n say_v plain_o phil._n 4.21_o salute_v every_o saint_n in_o christ_n jesus_n etc._n etc._n there_o yet_o remain_v many_o probable_a argument_n by_o which_o it_o may_v be_v make_v manifest_a to_o every_o impartial_a reader_n that_o infant_n which_o can_v neither_o speak_v nor_o understand_v can_v be_v visible_a church-member_n upon_o the_o earth_n but_o there_o will_v i_o know_v be_v many_o seem_a answer_n make_v to_o they_o which_o will_v take_v much_o with_o those_o that_o have_v their_o faith_n set_v in_o other_o man_n wisdom_n and_o not_o in_o the_o power_n and_o wisdom_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o we_o read_v 2_o cor._n 2.4_o 5._o therefore_o i_o shall_v omit_v they_o because_o these_o be_v undeniable_a have_v not_o only_o the_o word_n church_n in_o
