when_o they_o be_v but_o place_v in_o circumstance_n that_o will_v bring_v they_o to_o do_v it_o actual_o in_o the_o issue_n and_o thus_o the_o child_n of_o the_o rohathite_n of_o a_o month_n old_a

this_o respect_n perhaps_o it_o be_v that_o our_o saviour_n speak_v of_o some_o little_a child_n as_o believe_v in_o he_o of_o which_o i_o shall_v say_v more_o afterward_o mat._n 18.6_o and_o for_o

most_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o infant_n be_v then_o receive_v into_o the_o church_n and_o be_v a_o part_n of_o it_o as_o all_o acknowledge_v and_o it_o must_v be_v in_o the_o respect_n which_o i_o

in_o the_o negative_a i_o will_v begin_v with_o that_o in_o rom._n 11.29_o where_o it_o be_v say_v for_o the_o gift_n and_o call_n of_o god_n be_v without_o repentance_n these_o word_n relate_v to_o

i_o chief_o note_v from_o they_o be_v that_o the_o call_n of_o god_n or_o his_o ancient_a way_n or_o method_n of_o bring_v the_o jew_n to_o be_v his_o people_n be_v not_o now_o under_o the_o gospel_n

the_o true_a religion_n which_o god_n use_v in_o old_a testament_n time_n by_o parent_n train_v up_o their_o seed_n in_o the_o true_a religion_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n transmit_v it_o from_o

and_o forbid_v they_o not_o for_o of_o such_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n mark_v 10.14_o which_o word_n for_o of_o such_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v the_o reason_n here_o give_v by_o our_o saviour_n why_o little_a child_n shall_v be_v suffer_v and_o not_o forbid_v to_o be_v bring_v to_o he_o which_o show_v that_o when_o he_o say_v of_o such_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n he_o mean_v it_o of_o such_o little_a child_n proper_o as_o those_o be_v which_o be_v bring_v to_o he_o and_o not_o of_o man_n like_o little_a child_n in_o humility_n innocency_n or_o docility_n as_o you_o will_v have_v it_o for_o if_o we_o shall_v understand_v it_o in_o your_o sense_n then_o that_o which_o our_o saviour_n give_v here_o for_o a_o reason_n seem_v to_o be_v no_o reason_n for_o what_o

altogether_o unlike_o they_o in_o what_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o exception_n against_o their_o be_v bring_v to_o christ_n which_o be_v their_o minority_n that_o therefore_o little_a child_n proper_o mean_v aught_o to_o be_v suffer_v and_o not_o forbid_v to_o be_v bring_v to_o christ_n and_o if_o it_o be_v mean_v of_o little_a child_n proper_o than_o our_o saviour_n in_o these_o word_n assert_n

text_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o your_o sense_n yet_o it_o will_v prove_v that_o for_o which_o i_o allege_v it_o by_o parity_n of_o reason_n for_o if_o that_o which_o make_v adult_a person_n like_o little_a child_n in_o that_o for_o which_o they_o be_v propound_v as_o a_o pattern_n will_v qualify_v they_o for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n than_o it_o must_v needs_o qualify_v the_o child_n themselves_o for_o it_o if_o you_o say_v that_o this_o way_n of_o argue_v as_o well_o prove_v dove_n lamb_n and_o sheep_n qualify_v to_o be_v of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n as_o little_a child_n because_o they_o in_o some_o respect_n be_v set_v for_o pattern_n unto_o man_n and_o good_a man_n upon_o account_n of_o resemble_v they_o in_o some_o respect_n be_v call_v by_o their_o name_n i_o

be_v ever_o constitute_v church-member_n heretofore_o as_o little_a child_n have_v be_v by_o reason_n of_o which_o difference_n it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o the_o one_o be_v not_o church-member_n because_o the_o other_o be_v not_o though_o both_o be_v propound_v as_o pattern_n in_o some_o respect_n of_o that_o which_o will_v qualify_v rational_a creature_n for_o church-membership_a so_o that_o take_v it_o which_o way_n you_o will_v the_o argument_n from_o the_o text_n for_o infant_n church-membership_a be_v far_o strange_a than_o any_o thing_n which_o can_v be_v offer_v against_o it_o again_o in_o luke_n 9.48_o our_o saviour_n speak_v of_o a_o little_a child_n which_o he_o have_v set_v by_o he_o say_v whosoever_o shall_v receive_v this_o child_n in_o my_o name_n receive_v i_o

cause_v you_o to_o consider_v whether_o those_o subdivision_n and_o sub-separation_n among_o yourselves_o do_v not_o befall_v you_o as_o a_o correction_n for_o your_o first_o divide_v from_o other_o without_o a_o cause_n and_o to_o awaken_v you_o to_o review_v the_o ground_n on_o which_o it_o have_v be_v do_v now_o to_o convince_v you_o that_o you_o have_v no_o sufficient_a ground_n to_o

this_o charitable_a address_n so_o far_o as_o it_o concern_v you_o only_o you_o be_v wont_a to_o interpret_v the_o extent_n of_o christ_n commission_n to_o baptise_v by_o what_o be_v record_v in_o point_n of_o fact_n touch_v who_o or_o what_o manner_n of_o person_n be_v baptise_a by_o the_o apostle_n and_o other_o in_o their_o time_n and_o to_o conclude_v that_o no_o infant_n be_v authorize_v by_o that_o commission_n to_o be_v baptise_a since_o as_o you_o suppose_v the_o scripture_n give_v no_o account_n that_o any_o such_o be_v baptise_a but_o if_o this_o way_n of_o argue_v be_v good_a it_o will_v certain_o make_v against_o your_o own_o practice_n whether_o it_o make_v any_o thing_n against_o infant_n baptism_n or_o no._n for_o then_o the_o say_a commission_n of_o our_o saviour_n will_v not_o warrant_v the_o baptise_v of_o any_o such_o as_o you_o baptize_v to_o wit_n person_n at_o age_n who_o parent_n be_v christian_n when_o they_o be_v bear_v and_o who_o have_v be_v educate_v from_o their_o childhood_n in_o the_o christian_a religion_n for_o there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o hint_n in_o scripture_n that_o any_o such_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o apostle_n day_n nor_o of_o any_o except_o infant_n but_o only_o such_o as_o be_v convert_v from_o judaisme_n or_o paganism_n to_o christianity_n and_o that_o present_o after_o such_o their_o conversion_n but_o if_o you_o think_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o baptise_v such_o person_n as_o you_o baptize_v may_v be_v deduce_v by_o way_n of_o consequence_n from_o christ_n commission_n though_o there_o be_v no_o instance_n in_o scripture_n of_o the_o baptise_v any_o such_o then_o you_o can_v deny_v it_o to_o be_v lawful_a to_o baptize_v infant_n if_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o it_o can_v be_v deduce_v from_o christ_n commission_n to_o baptize_v though_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o instance_n in_o scripture_n of_o the_o baptise_v any_o infant_n by_o this_o you_o see_v that_o your_o popular_a argument_n against_o infant_n baptism_n fall_v foul_a upon_o yourselves_o and_o your_o own_o practice_n the_o difference_n then_o between_o you_o and_o the_o paedo-baptist_n must_v not_o be_v decide_v by_o example_n in_o point_n of_o fact_n though_o if_o it_o shall_v you_o will_v be_v far_o more_o to_o seek_v than_o they_o as_o shall_v be_v show_v afterward_o but_o by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o scripture_n relate_v to_o church-membership_a and_o baptism_n which_o we_o will_v now_o come_v to_o consider_v and_o therein_o proceed_v gradual_o when_o any_o thing_n have_v be_v wont_a to_o be_v argue_v from_o the_o

also_o of_o the_o nationality_n of_o church_n it_o have_v be_v still_o reply_v and_o urge_v by_o you_o that_o there_o be_v this_o difference_n between_o the_o church_n then_o and_o now_o to_o wit_n that_o the_o church_n be_v constitute_v then_o by_o natural_a generation_n whereas_o it_o be_v constitute_v now_o by_o spiritual_a regeneration_n and_o further_o that_o what_o be_v sufficient_a to_o
