or_o heathenism_n till_o they_o give_v up_o themselves_o to_o christ_n submit_v to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n they_o have_v no_o right_n to_o this_o ordinance_n therefore_o you_o read_v repent_v and_o

when_o they_o come_v to_o year_n of_o maturity_n and_o do_v believe_v who_o have_v be_v baptize_v in_o their_o infancy_n their_o answer_n be_v as_o the_o pharisee_n of_o old_a they_o be_v free_v from_o that_o obligation_n and_o they_o will_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o be_v right_o baptize_v according_a to_o christ_n commission_n whereas_o mr._n chandler_n confess_v they_o ought_v so_o to_o be_v if_o they_o have_v not_o be_v baptize_v in_o their_o infancy_n now_o forasmuch_o as_o there_o be_v no_o other_o authority_n for_o infant-sprinkling_a but_o what_o the_o pharisee_n have_v for_o their_o corban_n i._n e._n the_o command_n or_o tradition_n of_o man_n why_o may_v not_o we_o apply_v the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n to_o the_o pharisee_n unto_o these_o presbyter_n thus_o have_v you_o make_v the_o commandment_n of_o christ_n for_o holy_a baptism_n of_o none_o effect_v by_o your_o tradition_n of_o infant-sprinkling_a and_o thereby_o render_v the_o word_n of_o god_n of_o none_o

unless_o it_o be_v for_o humour_n and_o interest_n i_o can_v imagine_v but_o to_o proceed_v these_o learned_a annotator_n say_v that_o although_o the_o jew_n do_v for_o some_o tract_n of_o time_n
