if_o our_o infant_n have_v every_o way_n as_o large_a a_o privilege_n as_o the_o infant_n of_o the_o jew_n have_v then_o can_v we_o not_o deny_v they_o the_o same_o privilege_n which_o their_o

than_o if_o this_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n child_n be_v to_o be_v baptize_v because_o they_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n and_o the_o seal_n belong_v to_o those_o in_o covenant_n by_o the_o same_o

therefore_o they_o be_v to_o hau●_n the_o lord_n supper_n and_o this_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o practice_n and_o opinion_n of_o the_o ancient_n that_o give_v the_o lord_n supper_n to_o infant_n for_o 600_o year_n after_o christ_n as_o well_o as_o baptism_n to_o this_o you_o say_v i_o answer_v that_o infant_n be_v capable_a of_o the_o grace_n of_o baptism_n we_o be_v sure_a not_o sure_a that_o

to_o the_o answer_v the_o objection_n that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o spiritual_a part_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n to_o all_o circumcise_a person_n and_o that_o circumcision_n
