Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
Other texts of Scripture I alleged, to express whom I account to be Christians, to wit, such as answer that reason for which the name was at first given to those that professed to believe in Antioch. Act. 11.21.26. and whom I account the children of Christians, namely, those, whose parents, at least one of them, in external profession, are within the Covenant. Gen. 17.10. Faithful. Rom. 4.11. Called. Act. 2.39. Herein the Answerer seemeth to agree with me, yet afterwards really differeth about the means, whereby that external profession is made, whence they may be denominated Christians. I deny that the saying yea at the reading of the Liturgy of Baptism publicly, or the nodding of the head, or some other gesture used by persons altogether unknown, and that in such a place as Amsterdam, to make show of consenting to that which is read (and it may be, they understand not) is sufficient proof of their being Christians. He affirmeth it is. Let us see how he proveth it.
