of_o sin_n to_o such_o for_o who_o christ_n die_v not_o but_o more_o of_o that_o anon_o i_o pass_v at_o present_a to_o the_o second_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o god_n give_v christ_n to_o die_v for_o all_o man_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o a_o resurrection_n and_o glory_n as_o before_o say_v which_o be_v reas_n 2._o second_o because_o as_o god_n have_v swear_v not_o to_o take_v pleasure_n in_o

all_o godliness_n and_o honesty_n for_o this_o be_v good_a and_o acceptable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n our_o saviour_n who_o will_v have_v all_z man_n to_o be_v save_v and_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n for_o there_o be_v one_o god_n and_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n who_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o to_o be_v testify_v in_o due_a time_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o first_o as_o god_n have_v swear_v by_o himself_o that_o he_o desire_v not_o the_o death_n of_o the_o wicked_a second_o that_o he_o also_o say_v he_o will_v have_v all_o man_n save_v and_o that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v he_o say_v that_o he_o give_v christ_n to_o be_v a_o ransom_n for_o all_o man_n so_o that_o from_o these_o two_o reason_n you_o may_v see_v god_n love_n to_o all_o man_n extend_v and_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o three_o reason_n which_o be_v reas_n 3._o three_o because_o god_n have_v command_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v declare_v to_o all_o man_n and_o condemn_v such_o as_o believe_v it_o not_o and_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v good_a news_n viz._n remission_n of_o sin_n and_o salvation_n by_o christ_n blood_n and_o command_v man_n to_o believe_v it_o upon_o pain_n of_o eternal_a wrath_n but_o if_o christ_n do_v not_o die_v for_o every_o man_n to_o who_o the_o gospel_n be_v command_v to_o be_v preach_v than_o a_o lie_n be_v command_v to_o be_v preach_v to_o the_o great_a part_n of_o man_n and_o they_o damn_v because_o they_o believe_v and_o receive_v it_o not_o the_o which_o to_o say_v be_v ridiculous_a and_o blasphemy_n but_o that_o you_o may_v see_v that_o this_o be_v true_a consider_v well_o that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o command_n give_v to_o christ_n minister_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o every_o man_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o plain_a english_a that_o christ_n die_v for_o their_o sin_n and_o rise_v again_o for_o their_o justification_n and_o yet_o christ_n do_v not_o die_v for_o every_o man_n than_o this_o be_v to_o command_v a_o lie_n to_o be_v preach_v to_o the_o great_a part_n of_o man_n and_o they_o damn_v for_o not_o believe_v of_o it_o if_o christ_n only_o dye_v for_o a_o few_o as_o some_o say_v the_o which_o so_o to_o say_v be_v wickedness_n and_o then_o also_o those_o that_o be_v damn_v for_o not_o believe_v the_o gospel_n be_v

the_o gospel_n be_v to_o be_v preach_v to_o every_o creature_n and_o man_n to_o believe_v it_o upon_o penalty_n of_o condemnation_n read_v mark_v 16.15_o 16._o in_o these_o word_n and_o he_o say_v

but_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v from_o whence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o gospel_n namely_o the_o good_a news_n of_o salvation_n through_o christ_n blood_n be_v to_o be_v preach_v to_o every_o man_n and_o whosoever_o do_v not_o believe_v it_o namely_o that_o there_o be_v life_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n for_o they_o through_o christ_n blood_n be_v to_o be_v damn_v because_o they_o make_v god_n a_o liar_n john_n 3_o chap._n 8._o 1_o john_n 5.10_o these_o well_o consider_v show_v that_o god_n do_v give_v his_o son_n the_o lord_n jesus_n to_o die_v for_o every_o man_n as_o before_o say_v and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o four_o reason_n which_o be_v reas_n 4._o four_o because_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a that_o so_o many_o as_o be_v make_v sinner_n by_o the_o first_o adam_n so_o many_o be_v make_v righteous_a by_o the_o second_o adam_n and_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o all_o be_v make_v sinner_n by_o the_o first_o adam_n ergo_fw-la all_o be_v make_v

all_z be_v make_v righteous_a by_o christ_n and_o if_o so_o then_o it_o do_v follow_v undeniable_o that_o god_n give_v christ_n to_o die_v for_o every_o man_n and_o that_o the_o premise_n be_v true_a read_v the_o word_n of_o saint_n paul_n rom._n 5.18_o 19_o which_o say_v therefore_o as_o by_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o judgement_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n to_o condemnation_n even_o so_o by_o the_o righteousness_n the_o free_a gift_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n unto_o justification_n of_o life_n for_o as_o by_o one_o man_n disobedience_n many_o be_v make_v sinner_n so_o by_o the_o obedience_n of_o one_o many_o be_v make_v righteous_a from_o these_o word_n we_o may_v see_v all_o set_v in_o

the_o text_n to_o which_o you_o add_v these_o two_o objection_n object_n 1._o first_o that_o if_o the_o water_n of_o noah_n be_v baptism_n than_o the_o ungodly_a world_n be_v baptise_a for_o plunge_v and_o cover_v they_o be_v and_o perish_v and_o so_o the_o perish_a creature_n be_v baptise_a answ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v the_o text_n do_v not_o say_v that_o noah_n water_n be_v baptism_n but_o a_o figure_n of_o baptism_n second_o it_o be_v not_o deny_v that_o the_o same_o water_n that_o be_v say_v to_o save_v the_o eight_o soul_n which_o be_v in_o the_o ark_n be_v the_o same_o that_o drown_v they_o which_o be_v out_o of_o the_o ark_n which_o show_v that_o the_o water_n in_o baptism_n must_v not_o be_v small_a for_o that_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o baptism_n but_o sufficient_a to_o cover_v the_o person_n baptize_v that_o which_o we_o may_v learn_v from_o these_o say_n be_v this_o and_o so_o i_o pass_v that_o as_o the_o water_n save_v those_o in_o the_o ark_n and_o drown_v they_o that_o be_v out_o of_o the_o ark_n even_o so_o baptism_n be_v figurative_o represent_v in_o it_o save_v and_o clean_v instrumental_o all_o those_o that_o have_v faith_n and_o so_o be_v in_o christ_n the_o ark_n of_o safety_n and_o also_o destroy_v all_o that_o attempt_v it_o which_o believe_v not_o or_o be_v not_o in_o christ_n by_o faith_n and_o so_o the_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n to_o one_o be_v the_o savour_n of_o life_n unto_o life_n and_o to_o the_o other_o the_o savour_n of_o death_n unto_o death_n therefore_o take_v this_o word_n of_o caution_n take_v heel_n how_o and_o to_o who_o you_o administer_v baptism_n let_v they_o first_o appear_v to_o you_o that_o they_o be_v in_o the_o ark_n which_o be_v to_o say_v let_v the_o person_n baptise_a first_o make_v it_o appear_v to_o you_o by_o some_o visible_a demonstration_n that_o they_o have_v faith_n in_o christ_n otherwise_o you_o see_v that_o you_o take_v a_o direct_a way_n to_o ruinate_v they_o therefore_o i_o say_v take_v heed_n and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o next_o thing_n which_o be_v object_n john_n do_v abide_v at_o canaan_n to_o baptize_v because_o there_o be_v much_o water_n there_o but_o say_v you_o the_o much_o water_n be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v deep_a water_n but_o broad_a and_o shallow_a so_o that_o a_o infant_n can_v not_o be_v cover_v in_o it_o and_o that_o john_n do_v abide_v there_o because_o his_o disciple_n may_v see_v he_o administer_v that_o ordinance_n better_o than_o under_o the_o shadow_a bank_n of_o jordan_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n say_v my_o antagonist_n that_o john_n do_v abide_v at_o canaan_n not_o that_o the_o water_n be_v convenient_a that_o be_v to_o say_v deep_a to_o cover_v the_o person_n baptize_v but_o because_o there_o be_v a_o convenient_a prospect_n whereby_o his_o disciple_n may_v see_v the_o manner_n of_o this_o administer_a of_o the_o ordinance_n answ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o this_o kind_n of_o reason_v seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v strange_a pervert_n of_o the_o scripture_n for_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o john_n abode_n at_o canaan_n to_o baptize_v because_o there_o be_v much_o water_n or_o it_o may_v be_v read_v abundance_n of_o water_n or_o deep_a water_n from_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d but_o you_o say_v that_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o tarry_v there_o to_o baptize_v be_v because_o there_o be_v a_o convenient_a prospect_n that_o his_o disciple_n may_v see_v he_o baptize_v clear_a contrary_a to_o what_o the_o scripture_n say_v and_o if_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n as_o you_o say_v than_o he_o may_v have_v take_v a_o pitcher_n of_o water_n into_o the_o mountain_n if_o sprinkle_v will_v have_v serve_v the_o turn_n for_o a_o pitcher_n of_o water_n will_v have_v baptize_v very_o many_o with_o your_o kind_n of_o baptism_n and_o the_o mountain_n have_v be_v a_o better_a prospect_n than_o the_o valley_n second_o canaan_n be_v the_o same_o water_n viz._n the_o river_n jordan_n and_o take_v its_o name_n canaan_n from_o the_o name_n of_o the_o village_n canaan_n that_o stand_v by_o the_o river_n of_o jordan_n as_o you_o may_v see_v if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o map_n of_o that_o country_n and_o so_o it_o be_v now_o that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o river_n bear_v many_o name_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o adjacent_a village_n and_o town_n that_o stand_v by_o the_o side_n of_o it_o and_o the_o river_n call_v by_o the_o same_o name_n this_o be_v consider_v the_o river_n or_o water_n of_o canaan_n be_v not_o shallow_a but_o deep_a for_o the_o swell_a wave_n of_o jordan_n be_v great_a and_o this_o be_v the_o same_o river_n as_o before-said_a again_o three_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o john_n baptise_a man_n and_o woman_n there_o which_o shall_v be_v read_v if_o it_o be_v true_o translate_v that_o john_n dip_v man_n and_o woman_n there_o and_o if_o so_o you_o and_o your_o author_n must_v be_v false_a which_o say_v it_o be_v not_o deep_a enough_o to_o dip_v a_o infant_n and_o so_o i_o leave_v this_o objection_n and_o the_o reason_n to_o prove_v baptism_n to_o be_v dip_v although_o i_o may_v add_v many_o more_o the_o reason_n in_o short_a you_o see_v be_v these_o first_o because_o the_o word_n baptism_n be_v true_o translate_v be_v to_o dip_v proper_o and_o such_o like_a word_n as_o beforementioned_a second_o because_o christ_n be_v dip_v or_o plunge_v and_o we_o engage_v to_o follow_v his_o example_n three_o baptism_n signify_v christ_n burial_n and_o he_o be_v cover_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o earth_n four_o and_o last_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o john_n do_v tarry_v and_o baptise_v at_o canaan_n because_o there_o be_v much_o water_n signify_v to_o we_o that_o much_o water_n be_v requisite_a in_o baptism_n whereby_o the_o person_n baptize_v may_v be_v convenient_o dip_v or_o plunge_v so_o as_o to_o be_v cover_v in_o the_o water_n and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n which_o be_v the_o discourse_n of_o the_o subject_n which_o be_v to_o be_v baptise_a whether_o believe_v man_n and_o woman_n or_o infant_n to_o which_o i_o say_v the_o scripture_n will_v resolve_v the_o doubt_n if_o we_o well_o examine_v they_o who_o be_v the_o subject_n to_o be_v baptise_a and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v at_o present_a lie_v down_o these_o two_o position_n and_o give_v you_o scripture_n reason_n to_o prove_v they_o position_n 1._o the_o first_o be_v that_o those_o that_o be_v the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n viz._n believe_v man_n and_o woman_n may_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v baptise_a position_n 2._o and_o second_o that_o infant_n as_o such_o may_v not_o be_v baptise_a and_o first_o to_o the_o first_o to_o prove_v that_o such_o as_o be_v disciple_n namely_o believer_n may_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v baptise_a and_o the_o first_o reason_n be_v reason_n 1_o because_o the_o great_a lawgiver_n christ_n jesus_n have_v teach_v we_o in_o his_o last_o will_n and_o testament_n to_o make_v disciple_n and_o baptise_v they_o that_o be_v so_o make_v as_o in_o matth._n 28.18_o 19_o go_v teach_v all_o nation_n and_o baptize_v they_o or_o as_o the_o original_a render_v it_o from_o these_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d go_v disciplize_v or_o make_v disciple_n in_o all_o nation_n and_o baptize_v they_o etc._n etc._n from_o whence_o we_o may_v clear_o see_v that_o it_o be_v the_o mind_n and_o will_n of_o christ_n that_o they_o only_o shall_v be_v baptise_a that_o be_v first_o teach_v and_o make_v disciple_n and_o that_o infant_n be_v not_o here_o in_o the_o least_o include_v be_v plain_a because_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a to_o be_v teach_v but_o those_o that_o be_v command_v there_o to_o be_v baptize_v be_v capable_a of_o be_v teach_v therefore_o can_v not_o be_v infant_n second_o infant_n be_v not_o capable_a to_o bear_v the_o name_n disciple_n because_o christ_n say_v in_o luke_n 14.26_o 27._o that_o whosoever_o deni_v not_o

〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d it_o bear_v many_o signification_n for_o the_o word_n be_v a_o root_n as_o i_o may_v say_v bear_v many_o branch_n this_o consider_v the_o text_n may_v be_v thus_o read_v thou_o fool_v this_o night_n shall_v thy_o life_n be_v require_v of_o thou_o and_o if_o so_o there_o be_v no_o colour_n for_o to_o prove_v the_o soul_n to_o be_v immortal_a add_v this_o that_o in_o answer_v this_o text_n i_o also_o have_v answer_v that_o which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o 1_o king_n 17.21_o 22._o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o shunamites_n child_n come_v into_o he_o

of_o that_o nature_n be_v answer_v according_a to_o truth_n and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o second_o text_n luke_n 16._o which_o speak_v of_o lazarus_n be_v in_o abraham_n bosom_n to_o which_o i_o
