even_o unto_o the_o great_a and_o so_o need_v no_o teach_v to_o know_v the_o lord_n but_o infant_n know_v not_o the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o be_v not_o of_o the_o new_a covenant_n or_o church_n of_o

in_o these_o word_n the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n shall_v break_v the_o serpent_n head_n and_o indeed_o have_v not_o man_n sin_v since_o the_o fall_n he_o then_o shall_v have_v have_v no_o need_n

the_o which_o without_o circumcision_n they_o may_v not_o do_v but_o there_o be_v no_o such_o damage_n liable_a to_o the_o seed_n of_o believer_n be_v unbaptise_v so_o as_o to_o be_v cut_v off_o

to_o be_v part_n of_o the_o nation_n when_o he_o talk_v of_o baptism_n and_o not_o see_v they_o part_v of_o the_o nation_n so_o as_o to_o be_v preach_v too_o what_o be_v infant_n part_v of_o the_o

put_v a_o yoke_n upon_o the_o neck_n of_o the_o disciple_n in_o short_a their_o mean_v be_v that_o infant_n be_v disciple_n that_o be_v the_o thing_n they_o will_v prove_v from_z that_o text_n if_o

therefore_o no_o disciple_n and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o next_o objection_n which_o be_v object_n 6._o christ_n say_v suffer_v little_a child_n to_o come_v unto_o i_o and_o he_o put_v his_o hand_n

the_o priest_n in_o their_o baby-sprinkling_a yet_o i_o shall_v show_v that_o this_o place_n be_v much_o against_o they_o if_o it_o be_v well_o understand_v and_o that_o you_o may_v see_v it_o so_o to_o be_v take_v notice_n that_o christ_n disciple_n which_o forbid_v these_o little_a one_o to_o be_v bring_v be_v such_o as_o be_v the_o administrator_n of_o baptism_n which_o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o practice_n as_o to_o baptise_v infant_n because_o they_o will_v not_o then_o have_v forbid_v they_o to_o be_v bring_v and_o second_o that_o they_o be_v not_o bring_v to_o be_v baptize_v be_v clear_a because_o the_o parent_n bring_v they_o not_o to_o the_o disciple_n which_o be_v the_o baptizer_n and_o three_o it_o be_v also_o clear_a that_o they_o be_v not_o bring_v to_o be_v baptize_v because_o that_o christ_n do_v for_o they_o as_o their_o parent_n do_v desire_v and_o yet_o baptize_v they_o not_o for_o he_o baptize_v none_o but_o leave_v that_o work_n to_o his_o disciple_n but_o peradventure_o some_o may_v say_v wherefore_o be_v these_o child_n bring_v to_o christ_n my_o answer_n be_v that_o it_o be_v to_o cure_v they_o of_o some_o disease_n or_o infirmity_n which_o do_v accompany_v they_o and_o if_o any_o shall_v ask_v i_o what_o reason_n i_o can_v give_v to_o prove_v it_o i_o answer_v these_o two_o or_o three_o in_o short_a the_o first_o be_v because_o he_o be_v at_o that_o time_n in_o the_o work_n of_o cure_v of_o all_o manner_n of_o sickness_n as_o you_o may_v see_v matth._n 19.1_o 2_o 3._o and_o second_o his_o way_n or_o method_n in_o cure_v be_v by_o put_v his_o hand_n upon_o those_o that_o have_v infirmity_n as_o be_v clear_a from_o many_o scripture_n but_o i_o shall_v cite_v but_o one_o text_n at_o present_a because_o i_o study_v brevity_n which_o be_v luke_n 4.40_o in_o these_o word_n now_o when_o the_o sun_n be_v set_v all_z they_o that_o have_v any_o sick_a with_o diverse_a disease_n bring_v they_o unto_o he_o and_o he_o lay_v his_o hand_n on_o every_o of_o they_o and_o heal_v they_o and_o for_o this_o end_n they_o bring_v little_a child_n that_o he_o may_v put_v his_o hand_n upon_o they_o also_o but_o his_o disciple_n fear_v their_o master_n will_v be_v trouble_v with_o their_o cry_n and_o the_o like_a forbid_v they_o but_o child_n be_v part_n of_o those_o who_o christ_n redeem_v he_o have_v as_o great_a love_n to_o they_o as_o to_o the_o man_n and_o woman_n and_o say_v suffer_v they_o to_o come_v and_o do_v not_o hinder_v they_o and_o give_v a_o weighty_a reason_n why_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o do_v they_o good_a because_o say_v he_o of_o such_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n therefore_o hinder_v they_o not_o of_o any_o benefit_n that_o may_v conduce_v to_o their_o good_a or_o ease_v so_o then_o in_o the_o first_o place_n you_o see_v that_o christ_n be_v at_o that_o time_n about_o the_o work_n of_o healing_n and_o second_o his_o way_n in_o healing_n be_v by_o put_v his_o hand_n upon_o they_o who_o he_o heal_v and_o three_o they_o bring_v the_o child_n to_o he_o that_o he_o may_v put_v his_o hand_n on_o they_o also_o and_o four_o and_o last_o christ_n do_v convey_v a_o blessing_n unto_o they_o by_o do_v that_o to_o they_o for_o which_o they_o be_v bring_v and_o yet_o baptize_v they_o not_o as_o before_o say_v and_o that_o it_o be_v heal_v of_o their_o body_n and_o not_o any_o spiritual_a thing_n be_v clear_a for_o as_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a to_o receive_v a_o spiritual_a blessing_n so_o there_o be_v no_o eminent_a need_n of_o it_o for_o they_o have_v right_a to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n before_o which_o be_v the_o great_a blessing_n of_o all_o blessing_n add_v this_o that_o in_o all_o likelihood_n their_o parent_n do_v not_o mind_n to_o get_v for_o themselves_o spiritual_a blessing_n and_o much_o less_o for_o their_o child_n for_o if_o they_o have_v mind_v that_o so_o much_o as_o they_o shall_v have_v do_v they_o will_v have_v follow_v christ_n and_o so_o have_v be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o his_o disciple_n but_o they_o be_v not_o his_o disciple_n for_o his_o disciple_n forbid_v they_o and_o indeed_o many_o do_v follow_v christ_n which_o mind_v no_o spiritual_a good_a but_o temporal_a only_o as_o some_o to_o receive_v cure_n for_o their_o infirmity_n for_o he_o go_v about_o do_v good_a and_o some_o follow_v he_o because_o they_o eat_v of_o the_o loaf_n and_o be_v fill_v joh._n 6.26_o and_o thus_o much_o as_o to_o that_o objection_n their_o parent_n neither_o bring_v they_o to_o be_v baptise_a neither_o do_v christ_n baptise_v they_o yet_o do_v do_v for_o

be_v to_o exclude_v they_o from_o that_o communion_n of_o saint_n and_o that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v perpetuate_v be_v plain_a because_o it_o be_v annex_v to_o vers_n 20._o which_o be_v perpetuate_v as_o be_v most_o evident_a thus_o we_o may_v see_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o christ_n do_v once_o give_v his_o church_n his_o power_n and_o never_o take_v it_o away_o again_o from_o they_o and_o the_o power_n and_o strength_n of_o hell_n can_v do_v it_o for_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o it_o and_o sure_o the_o fall_n of_o one_o star_n from_o heaven_n to_o

therefore_o follow_v that_o all_o the_o constable_n in_o the_o seven_o hundred_o or_o in_o that_o division_n have_v lose_v their_o power_n who_o have_v not_o rebel_v and_o the_o several_a parish_n

he_o appear_v to_o be_v a_o hypocrite_n even_o a_o drunkard_n or_o a_o fornicator_n or_o the_o like_a now_o will_v you_o admit_v of_o that_o man_n although_o former_o he_o have_v communion_n with_o
