5._o where_o you_o revive_v it_o again_o then_o your_o chearse_v mr._n hooker_n sentence_n and_o there_o sinde_v that_o i_o do_v not_o accord_v with_o he_o if_o not_o than_o i_o pray_v lee_n this_o

my_o ground_n from_o he_o to_o who_o i_o go_v cross_n as_o you_o say_v i_o do_v if_o i_o have_v do_v so_o mr._n hooker_n be_v a_o man_n of_o who_o one_o may_v borrow_v but_o i_o do_v not_o remember_v

this_o difference_n here_o i_o be_o sure_a mr._n hooker_n be_v now_o alive_a in_o england_n he_o will_v not_o baptize_v all_o the_o child_n of_o any_o of_o the_o congregalon_n d●●_n england_n without_o any_o more_o ado_n i_o can_v gather_v so_o much_o out_o of_o his_o book_n and_o therefore_o we_o do_v not_o differ_v in_o this_o then_o you_o come_v to_o my_o first_o premise_v which_o be_v the_o infant_n abstract_v from_o the_o parens_fw-la 3._o page_n 3._o give_v no_o reason_n why_o it_o shall_v be_v baptize_v this_o say_v you_o be_v otherwise_o propound_v by_o mr._n hooker_n then_o it_o be_v unlikely_a to_o be_v borrow_v of_o he_o then_o you_o tell_v i_o it_o be_v not_o right_o propose_v yes_o sir_n very_o right_a it_o be_v ordinary_a with_o divine_n to_o lay_v a_o proposition_n first_o further_o off_o 4._o page_n 4._o then_o to_o come_v near_o neither_o do_v i_o see_v that_o you_o have_v one_o whit_n consure_v it_o but_o yield_v it_o do_v you_o baptize_v any_o child_n in_o your_o parish_n without_o consider_v it_o in_o relation_n to_o a_o parent_n do_v you_o consider_v it_o in_o it_o selse_a abstract_a from_o any_o other_o and_o yet_o baptize_v it_o i_o pray_v make_v a_o argument_n out_o of_o that_o text_n in_o your_o title-page_n mar_n 10.14_o which_o i_o preslime_v you_o bring_v for_o infant_n baptism_n and_o consider_v the_o infant_n alone_o as_o abstract_v from_o the_o parent_n you_o say_v present_o here_o the_o child_n of_o england_n be_v christian_n bear_v how_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o house_n soil_n or_o the_o parent_n then_o it_o be_v a_o

myself_o who_o be_o not_o worthy_a to_o be_v name_v in_o the_o day_n with_o he_o lay_v down_o this_o proposition_n viz._n the_o infant_n of_o england_n quâ_fw-la sic_fw-la consider_v as_o abstract_v

of_o a_o particular_a church_n can_v be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o catholic_a church_n 17._o though_o excommunicate_v unjust_o yet_o till_o case_n be_v hear_v communion_n deny_v council_n sa●●ll_n

depend_v on_o the_o former_a than_o the_o reason_n be_v clear_a cast_v he_o out_o of_o a_o particular_a church_n you_o cut_v he_o off_o from_o all_o communion_n with_o other_o but_o if_o a_o man_n be_v first_o a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n and_o his_o be_v a_o member_n of_o this_o particular_a church_n depend_v upon_o that_o than_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n for_o though_o you_o have_v cast_v he_o out_o of_o your_o particular_a church_n which_o be_v second_o yet_o his_o membership_n to_o the_o catholic_a church_n which_o be_v first_o and_o independent_a upon_o this_o still_o

their_o act_n depefid_v on_o this_o if_o depend_v than_o not_o first_o 2._o this_o seem_v a_o little_a odd_a to_o i_o a_o man_n be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n only_o thence_o he_o will_v require_v baptism_n of_o this_o church_n of_o another_o church_n he_o will_v require_v the_o lord_n supper_n in_o another_o there_o he_o will_v bear_v to_o he_o may_v go_v to_o all_o church_n

antecedent_n then_o to_o the_o consequence_n to_o the_o antecedent_n i_o answer_v first_o according_a to_o our_o congregationall_a principle_n that_o which_o give_v a_o man_n the_o first_o right_n to_o a_o sacrament_n viz._n his_o interest_n in_o the_o covenans_fw-la of_o the_o gospel_n which_o you_o use_v very_o much_o against_o mr._n hooker_n take_v the_o word_n from_o himself_o this_o man_n
