to the like purpose6
may have entirenesse of6
parents covenanting for them6
and why may not6
to the nature of6

but such as are6
i would pray to6
that where there is6
what is to be6
the church of christ6
and subject themselves to6
the adult persons spoken6
before in this discourse6
and therefore the latter6
to the discipline of6
the synods fifth proposition6
capable of entire iurisdiction6
is the very thing6
in the use of6
why may not the6
gives right to baptism6
to a congregation that6
that which makes a6

things may be said6
entrance into the church6
that the church is6
of a nationall church6
but if it be6

we are speaking of6
that the members of6

all that are in6
satisfaction of all who6
because the light of6
right to determine against6

the assemblies of papists6
to what the synod6
question are to be6
they become a church6
to the dayes of6
the government of the6
no more but to6
what the synod saith6
the place we have6
and of the church6
argument is taken from6
the reverend author to6
the ordinance of christ6
that there was a6
faith is said to6
light of nature that6
as compleat and perfect6

meet together in one6
that when they are6
as was said before6
now published for the6

the reverend author is6
is by way of6
me from his people6
nothing appears to the6
of the word and6

on the government of6
in question are not6
adult persons spoken of6
the discipline of the6
of imposition of hands6
we deny not but6
cut off from the6
when i first heard6

he would not have6
but there may be6
must depend upon the6
unlesse it could be6
for a man to6
that the church at6

nothing else but a6
how it can be6
the object of faith6
god as long as6
where there is no6

may have their children6
may be drawne from6
be according to the5
then joyning in covenant5
answer of the reverend5
the latter end of5
because it is a5
is here affirmed by5
christs righteousness to us5
and the good of5
before the whole church5
one may be a5
obedience to the law5
the iewes had a5
in their fifth proposition5
true cause of appeales5
be found in them5
any way of god5
if this be true5
to the end of5
an open professing of5
that congregations must depend5
the house of the5
for ought i perceive5
hear the word of5
membership that gives right5
place we have in5
if they were not5
the compass of the5
as in other things5
it is by the5
of an holy covenant5
to the judgement of5
agreeth the essence of5
that the people may5
a part in the5
in the hearts of5
power of iurisdiction in5
you come to the5
the ministeriall government of5
for ought that doth5
them in their younger5
our reverend brother mr5
as if there had5
well as the other5
such an one as5
the spirit of the5
to be no members5
must needs be the5
but the question is5
were not so many5
that which the synod5
hath been shewed afore5
because i did not5
that this will not5
the sons of men5
of this or that5
teaching then a governing5
service and subjection to5
to him in the5
are in a state5
the dayes of their5
arguments of the synod5
is said of the5
for there is no5
were never under any5
church in an iland5
to be the lords5
see no reason to5
the place by him5
be no more but5
only by way of5
we are justified by5
and members of the5
let it be considered5
what are the parts5
by entring into solemne5
a visible state of5
children of israel did5
may it not be5
unlesse it be determined5
and in respect of5
them to be churches5
and not in the5
for the finall ending5
risen from the dead5
in question are to5
principles of christian religion5
in the scriptures of5
as much as our5
this is not the5
and the same may5
sitting at the right5
yea it may be5
if this be not5
or else it is5
but a signe of5
qualified as the proposition5
such a church as5
to choose their owne5
consequence of the proposition5
as the proposition expresseth5
on the other side5
not onely to the5
to live and dye5
but they may have5
the case in question5
work of the lord5
of the same church5
these are our words5
dayes of their life5
to them by the5
as are not in5
thought i will pray5
that which is good5
but it is not5
is contrary to the5
a state of fitness5

the covenant and church5
subjection to christ in5
severall churches in new5
for ought we know5
are not in full5
confess we do not5
whether the power of5
grace wrought in them5
then a governing church5
the begetting of faith5
the power of godliness5
no more but this5
of the covenant of5

the indians in new5
that the synod hath5
in this particular of5
the manner of administration5
as long as they5

to such a congregation5
an answer of the5
is not sufficient to5
as we said before5
by the synod in5
which is against all5
in the other case5
are the subjects of5
of the progress of5
how this can be5
be performed by them5
being added to the5
formalis ratio of membership5
said in the answer5
contrary to the scripture5

to be applied to5
of the covenant in5
may not be granted5
that are not of5
such standing in the5

dissent from the synod5
their hands upon the5

the matter of a5
in the place which5
that it is the5

it be proved that5
nothing else but the5
by what the reverend5
the children of those5
as a reward and5
the beginnings of grace5
rather a teaching then5
into the church as5
them a bill of5
they give up themselves5
a covenant with god5
to the priviledges of5
of worship to god5
never under any explicite5
question is not about5
the hearts of the5

look at them as5
as if they were5

they have not yet5
which is the thing5
must it needs follow5
to live in the5

to be looked at5
not the like reason5
to us to be5
as long as the5
