the

bound
by
the
rules
of
justice
,
mercy
,
and
prudence
to
do
it
without
requiring
that
condition
,
and
that
he
hath
no
reason
to
be
jealous
of
me
considering
my
carriage
in
this
matter
.
Neverthelesse
when
I
shall
understand
what
promise
he
would
have
from
me
,
and
what
is
intended
to
be
done
by
him
for
the
discussing
the
point
,
and
clearing
of
Truth
,
to
which
I
ought
not
be
wanting
,
and
what
advantage
I
may
have
by
his
agency
for

,
I
shall
give

a

that

then
what

as

to

not
to

who

to

Then
it
seemes
they

that
he

that
I
who
durst
baptize
an

known
to
be
regenerate
,
durst
not
give
the

to

;
because
more
is
required
to
make
them
capable
of
that
Sacrament
,
then
is
required
to
make

capable

a

although
I

yet
first
sithence

applied

there
is
no

saith

Yea
in

though

befitting

then
,
propound
my
thoughts
in
the
disputation
with

for

though
conceive

in

apprehension
it
containes
a

of
mistakes

therefore
though

yet
he
must
pardon
me
if
make
more
account
of
my
time

to
cast
it
away
in

such
wild
notions

he
hath
vented

have

much

wishing

acknowledge

they

that

Mr

And
is
not
this

of
yours
of
as
great
force
against
your

,
as
ours
of
an
instrument
all
sanctification
?
I
The
sanctifying
by
the
beleeving
party
here
mentioned
,
respects
the
issue
which
you
confesse
in
grounding
a
legitimation

I
Blake

This
sanctifying
(
whether
instrumentall
or
matremoniall

hath
its
influence
upon
the

such
a
brand
lying
upon
all
the
issue
,
where
there
is
issue
(
be
it
bastardy
or
gentilisme
)
were
enough
to
conclude
against
such
marriages
,
one
principal
end
of
marriage
being
posterity
.
I
know
you
cannot
ignorantly
,
and
therefore
I
feare
you
wilfully
mistake
,
the
meaning
is
,
you
may
live
together
:
for
all
the
seed
you
beg
at
are

,
infallibly
,
and
necessarily
holy
,
as
the
seed
of
infidels
(
neither
parent

)
are
necessarily
&
infallibly
unclean
;
so
that
here
is
a

Mr

this
is
meant
of
the

Church

that
God
hath
not

simply
the

the

,

a
people
out
of
them

wrought
in

as

joy
at

These
you
joyn

that
this

the
comfort
that
you

asses

that
I
might
have

leave
to
explain

own

Blake
thinkes
it
is
sufficient
to
make
the
argument
good
,
that
infants
of
beleevers
have
an
accesse
in
Gods
ordinary
way
of
dispensation
,
whilst
infants
:
infants
of
beleevers
in
infancy
have
no
interest
in
Christ
,
but
are
without
Covenant
of
promise
,
without
God
,
without
hope
.
there
is
no
certainty
,
onely
conjecture
that
they
were
infants
of
beleevers
,
I
avow
it
.
Blake
averres
a
certainty
beyond
conjecture
,
because
Christ
was
minister
of
the
circumcision
,
sent
to
the
lost
sheep
of
the
house
of
Israel
,
carried
himselfe
otherwise
to
the
Canaanitish
woman
in
behalfe
of
her
daughter
,
If
these
had
had
no
other
interest
,
Christ
would
have
been
as
facile
to
others
as
to
them
.

saith

The

anger
was
their
hindering
him

not
the
knowledge
they
had
of
their

this
is

that
Christs
action
in
this
was
extraordinary
,

so
no

for
baptizing

Mr

have
me
consider
how
this
can
stand
with
that
I

that
they
