10._o we_o be_v persuade_v that_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o christ_n that_o the_o infant_n of_o the_o faithful_a shall_v be_v dedicate_v to_o he_o in_o baptism_n and_o engage_v in_o his_o covenant_n and_o make_v member_n of_o his_o visible_a church_n because_o we_o find_v that_o under_o the_o promise_n before_o christ_n incarnation_n it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o devote_v and_o engage_v their_o child_n to_o god_n in_o the_o holy_a covenant_n and_o that_o god_n do_v accept_v they_o as_o visible_a member_n of_o his_o church_n and_o we_o never_o find_v where_o christ_n have_v discharge_v

he_o and_o that_o he_o charge_v they_o to_o forbid_v it_o no_o more_o and_o that_o he_o receive_v and_o bless_v they_o himself_o and_o tell_v we_o that_o of_o such_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n
