Against the rusticke sophistry, and wicked cavillations of sacrilegious Anabaptists: being the summe of certaine sermons had in the parish-church of Cranham, neere the city of Gloucester, in Gloucester-shire, with the exceptions of certaine Anabaptists against the foresaid sermons, and the authors answers thereunto. Very seasonable for weake consciences in these unsettled times of schisme and apostacie. By Thomas Wynell minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

therefore_o if_o you_o right_o consider_v these_o thing_n and_o the_o main_a difference_n hereof_o i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o reasonable_a man_n that_o understand_v himself_o and_o the_o

be_v a_o special_a reason_n why_o the_o man-child_n shall_v not_o be_v circumcise_v till_o the_o eight_o day_n and_o this_o reason_n you_o pass_v by_o untouched_a because_o you_o couldnot_v answer_v

till_o then_o infant_n can_v not_o and_o then_o they_o can_v believe_v this_o be_v to_o the_o purpose_n but_o i_o see_v you_o falter_v in_o all_o thing_n you_o say_v much_o and_o prove_v nothing_o if_o you_o ask_v physician_n why_o in_o time_n of_o the_o law_n infant_n be_v not_o to_o be_v circumcise_v till_o the_o eight_o day_n they_o will_v tell_v you_o that_o until_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v a_o critical_a day_n and_o so_o a_o dangerous_a day_n be_v pass_v no_o wound_n be_v to_o be_v make_v in_o the_o flesh_n of_o a_o tender_a infant_n but_o you_o say_v that_o under_o the_o gospel_n when_o person_n believe_v than_o they_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v but_o i_o say_v that_o infant_n of_o christian_n in_o their_o infancy_n be_v not_o insidel_n but_o saint_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a
