it_o be_v evident_a that_o christ_n in_o that_o institution_n of_o baptism_n intend_v principal_o man_n and_o woman_n of_o ripe_a year_n jew_n and_o gentile_n to_o be_v convert_v to_o the_o faith_n

as_o well_o as_o child_n be_v circumse_v then_o by_o virtue_n of_o christ_n institution_n second_o there_o be_v another_o answer_n that_o if_o a_o sign_n and_o seal_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n and_o regeneration_n or_o inward_a circumcision_n of_o the_o heart_n be_v due_a to_o infant_n of_o believer_n and_o to_o be_v communicate_v to_o they_o as_o to_o child_n of_o believer_n by_o virtue_n of_o christ_n institution_n of_o a_o seal_n to_o believe_a abraham_n and_o his_o child_n as_o be_v before_o hold_v forth_o then_o it_o must_v be_v either_o circumcision_n or_o baptism_n or_o some_o other_o sign_n and_o seal_v appoint_v by_o christ_n for_o this_o end_n but_o it_o can_v be_v circumcision_n for_o that_o be_v virtual_o abolish_v by_o christ_n institution_n of_o baptism_n nor_o be_v there_o any_o other_o sign_n or_o seal_v appoint_v by_o christ_n for_o child_n of_o believer_n jew_n or_o gentile_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v baptism_n and_o so_o christ_n do_v not_o forbid_v but_o rather_o virtual_o appoint_v baptism_n for_o infant_n in_o the_o new_a as_o he_o do_v appoint_v circumcision_n for_o infant_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n 17._o gen._n 17._o
