JOIA. In this place to receive the holy ghost, is too receive a witness that we are of god, which receiveth us, and that we are cleansed and purged by god.1 This may be proved by the x. xi. and .xv. Chapter of Acts. Children are cleansed & purged by God: ergo, they have the spirit of god. If they have the spirit of god, they are of God, and baptism is due unto them: as it is sufficiently proved by the old and new Testament.
