that_o child_n that_o can_v speak_v nor_o understand_v can_v be_v in_o it_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o follow_a reason_n 1._o because_o they_o that_o be_v in_o this_o covenant_n have_v the_o law_n of_o god_n put_v in_o their_o mind_n and_o write_v in_o their_o heart_n but_o little_a babe_n that_o can_v speak_v nor_o understand_v have_v not_o the_o law_n of_o god_n in_o their_o mind_n nor_o write_v in_o their_o heart_n therefore_o they_o be_v not_o in_o this_o covenant_n now_o that_o such_o little_a child_n be_v not_o in_o a_o capacity_n to_o know_v the_o mind_n and_o law_n of_o god_n be_v most_o plain_a isa_n 7.14_o 15_o 16._o behold_v a_o virgin_n shall_v conceive_v and_o bear_v a_o son_n and_o shall_v call_v his_o name_n immanuel_n butter_n and_o honey_n shall_v he_o eat_v that_o

again_o those_o that_o be_v in_o the_o new_a covenant_n shall_v know_v the_o lord_n from_o the_o great_a to_o the_o least_o heb._n 8.11_o but_o little_a babe_n bear_v of_o the_o flesh_n of_o a_o

i_o answer_v there_o be_v no_o difference_n between_o the_o child_n of_o believer_n and_o unbeliever_n in_o their_o nonage_n for_o the_o child_n of_o believer_n be_v but_o innocent_a when_o we_o make_v the_o best_a of_o they_o and_o the_o child_n of_o unbeliever_n also_o be_v innocent_a psal_n 106.37_o 38._o yea_o though_o their_o parent_n be_v such_o as_o worship_n and_o do_v sacrifice_n to_o the_o devil_n yet_o the_o lord_n have_v pronounce_v they_o innocent_a ver_fw-la 38._o saying_n they_o shed_v innocent_a blood_n even_n the_o blood_n of_o their_o son_n and_o daughter_n who_o they_o sacrifice_v unto_o the_o idol_n of_o canaan_n thus_o it_o be_v plain_o prove_v by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o the_o child_n of_o the_o murderer_n and_o idolater_n that_o worship_v and_o sacrifice_v to_o the_o devil_n as_o ver_fw-la 37._o be_v innocent_a and_o those_o that_o be_v innocent_a god_n will_v not_o destroy_v see_v ex_v 23.7_o with_o job_n 22.30_o and_o prov._n 6.16_o 17._o again_o there_o can_v be_v no_o difference_n between_o the_o child_n of_o believer_n and_o unbeliever_n because_o no_o such_o child_n have_v actual_a sin_n and_o the_o best_a of_o child_n of_o man_n have_v that_o which_o be_v call_v original_a sin_n viz._n the_o sin_n that_o come_v by_o adam_n transgression_n for_o which_o they_o must_v all_o die_v and_o return_v to_o their_o dust_n even_o the_o best_a of_o saint_n as_o well_o as_o the_o worst_a of_o sinner_n for_o it_o be_v appoint_v for_o all_o once_o to_o die_v and_o after_o that_o come_v judgement_n but_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o say_v that_o any_o shall_v be_v judge_v according_a to_o their_o original_a sin_n or_o condemn_v for_o adam_n transgression_n but_o it_o say_v they_o shall_v be_v judge_v according_a to_o

therefore_o no_o ground_n to_o fear_v the_o salvation_n of_o child_n die_v in_o their_o nonage_n for_o although_o they_o must_v die_v for_o adam_n sin_n yet_o christ_n be_v become_v their_o
