that_o i_o say_v again_o first_o we_o can_v never_o tell_v which_o of_o they_o be_v in_o the_o truth_n except_o it_o be_v reveal_v to_o we_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n which_o be_v only_o able_a

only_o of_o its_o own_o nature_n so_o that_o again_o i_o desire_v thou_o may_v not_o seek_v after_o a_o sign_n like_o a_o foolish_a and_o adulterous_a generation_n leave_v while_o with_o herod_n thou_o will_v have_v christ_n but_o with_o a_o desire_n to_o see_v some_o miracle_n from_o he_o thou_o fall_v short_a of_o christ_n and_o christ_n work_v none_o at_o all_o before_o thou_o as_o indeed_o he_o for_o the_o most_o part_n if_o not_o always_o refuse_v to_o do_v to_o they_o that_o demand_v they_o of_o he_o but_o notwithstanding_o if_o thou_o shall_v yet_o say_v sure_o none_o may_v

canaan_n and_o so_o circumcision_n a_o seal_n of_o that_o it_o nothing_o prove_v child_n to_o be_v baptize_v for_o as_o a_o fleshly_a promise_n be_v make_v to_o carnal_a person_n yet_o in_o a_o

but_o further_a if_o this_o outward_a covenant_n be_v the_o ground_n of_o circumcision_n why_o then_o be_v not_o female_n circumcise_v as_o well_o as_o male_n except_o you_o will_v deny_v they_o to_o

baptism_n of_o infant_n in_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o say_v first_o that_o the_o scripture_n say_v not_o that_o sol._n baptism_n come_v in_o the_o room_n of_o circumcision_n for_o that_o place_n which_o man_n usual_o urge_v to_o prove_v it_o viz_o coloss_n 2._o 11_o 12._o prove_v no_o such_o matter_n for_o true_o if_o we_o mind_n that_o place_n the_o apostle_n there_o show_v how_o that_o the_o circumcision_n of_o the_o flesh_n make_v with_o hand_n be_v not_o that_o which_o cleanse_v we_o but_o it_o be_v the_o circumcision_n of_o the_o heart_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o cut_n off_o or_o destroy_v those_o lust_n and_o corruption_n that_o be_v in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o flesh_n which_o be_v by_o the_o circumcision_n of_o christ_n if_o we_o serious_o consider_v it_o we_o shall_v find_v circumcision_n end_v in_o christ_n for_o he_o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n to_o which_o circumcision_n bind_v the_o jew_n and_o fulfil_v it_o for_o we_o and_o whereas_o the_o apostle_n say_v bury_v with_o he_o in_o baptism_n wherein_o also_o you_o be_v rise_v with_o he_o through_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o operation_n of_o god_n he_o go_v forward_o to_o confirm_v they_o in_o this_o that_o their_o completeness_n be_v in_o the_o death_n and_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n which_o they_o hold_v forth_o in_o baptism_n i_o profess_v serious_o i_o have_v weigh_v that_o scripture_n and_o can_v find_v no_o other_o ground_n to_o judge_v it_o prove_v baptism_n to_o come_v in_o the_o place_n of_o circumcision_n than_o this_o because_o baptism_n follow_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n which_o if_o that_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n to_o prove_v it_o we_o may_v as_o well_o say_v because_o in_o the_o six_o verse_n of_o the_o say_v 2._o of_o coloss_n it_o be_v write_v as_o you_o have_v therefore_o receive_v christ_n the_o lord_n so_o walk_v you_o in_o he_o and_o in_o the_o seven_o verse_n root_v and_o build_v up_o in_o he_o and_o establish_v in_o the_o faith_n etc._n etc._n that_o to_o be_v

will_v be_v strange_a doctrine_n i_o confess_v there_o may_v be_v some_o allusion_n between_o baptism_n and_o circumcision_n but_o that_o the_o one_o shall_v answer_v the_o other_o in_o every_o particular_a be_v quite_o contrary_a to_o scripture_n or_o that_o circumcision_n succeed_v baptism_n i_o see_v no_o proof_n of_o it_o but_o rather_o the_o contrary_a for_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o clear_o that_o there_o be_v no_o ground_n at_o all_o to_o baptize_v infant_n now_o because_o they_o be_v then_o circumeesed_a which_o i_o thus_o prove_v first_o i_o say_v for_o circumcision_n of_o infant_n it_o be_v express_o command_v of_o god_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n second_o the_o male_a be_v only_o to_o be_v circumcise_a but_o both_o male_a and_o

person_n who_o be_v circumcise_v be_v by_o another_o commission_n command_v to_o be_v baptize_v neither_o do_v baptism_n put_v a_o end_n to_o circumcision_n for_o both_o be_v in_o use_n under_o john_n baptist_n together_o again_o the_o subject_n of_o the_o two_o ministration_n be_v far_o different_a the_o one_o a_o natural_a see_v the_o other_o a_o spiritual_a seed_n now_o we_o know_v no_o other_o spiritual_a seed_n but_o believer_n visible_o profess_v their_o faith_n though_o we_o have_v not_o a_o express_a command_n to_o baptize_v infant_n yet_o there_o be_v object_n a_o virtual_a command_n in_o circumcision_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v the_o conformity_n to_o a_o command_n must_v not_o sol._n outgo_v the_o command_n now_o if_o there_o be_v any_o command_n in_o circumcision_n it_o bind_v only_o according_a to_o the_o extent_n of_o circumcision_n which_o be_v only_o to_o the_o male_n and_o to_o they_o at_o eight_o day_n old_a neither_o before_o nor_o after_o so_o that_o if_o infant_n be_v from_o thence_o virtual_o command_v to_o be_v baptize_v they_o must_v be_v only_o male_a infant_n and_o those_o must_v be_v baptize_v on_o the_o eight_o day_n but_o sure_o these_o virtual_a
