be_v true_a therefore_o the_o second_o also_o but_o in_o this_o there_o be_v many_o fault_n also_o for_o he_o say_v god_n baptize_v they_o when_o as_o the_o text_n say_v moses_n they_o be_v baptize_v into_o moses_n again_o he_o compare_v thing_n together_o as_o unequal_a which_o be_v equal_a and_o speak_v first_o of_o baptism_n so_o call_v only_o and_o not_o so_o indeed_o and_o then_o of_o
