there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o minister_n that_o do_v either_o mistake_n or_o alter_v and_o change_v the_o form_n some_o there_o be_v that_o do_v grant_v that_o the_o word_n in_o the_o commission_n signify_v to_o dip_v and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o primitive_a practice_n that_o christ_n and_o john_n do_v baptize_v by_o dip_v that_o yet_o make_v use_n of_o sprinkle_v instead_o of_o dip_v because_o we_o be_v under_o a_o cold_a climate_n and_o allege_v this_o for_o their_o practice_n that_o god_n will_v have_v mercy_n and_o not_o sacrifice_n and_o that_o where_o moral_a precept_n and_o positive_a precept_n do_v interfere_v there_o positive_a precept_n must_v give_v place_n as_o when_o david_n eat_v of_o the_o shewbread_n and_o the_o disciple_n pluck_v the_o ear_n of_o corn_n upon_o the_o sabbath-day_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v 1._o such_o as_o do_v think_v it_o good_a to_o alter_v the_o form_n of_o baptism_n from_o dip_v to_o sprinkle_v under_o this_o consideration_n have_v best_a to_o

be_v such_o that_o it_o will_v not_o admit_v of_o dip_v why_o do_v you_o do_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o room_n thereof_o where_o be_v your_o authority_n for_o that_o you_o be_v to_o baptize_v if_o you_o do_v any_o thing_n it_o be_v not_o leave_v to_o your_o discretion_n which_o of_o these_o shall_v be_v do_v by_o you_o this_o be_v to_o rantize_n in_o your_o own_o name_n 3._o i_o grant_v that_o in_o some_o case_n positive_a precept_n have_v give_v place_n when_o they_o have_v interfere_v with_o moral_n but_o this_o be_v no_o where_o make_v a_o general_a rule_n for_o sometime_o moral_a precept_n have_v give_v place_n to_o positive_a as_o when_o god_n command_v abraham_n to_o offer_v up_o his_o son_n isaac_n a_o burnt-offering_a the_o moral_a precept_n thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v give_v place_n to_o the_o positive_a 4._o when_o positive_a precept_n have_v give_v place_n to_o moral_n it_o have_v be_v in_o some_o case_n of_o exigency_n that_o have_v sudden_o fall_v out_o where_o in_o a_o little_a time_n the_o subject_n may_v return_v to_o his_o duty_n unto_o the_o positive_a precept_n again_o but_o if_o the_o positive_a precept_n to_o dip_v must_v give_v place_n to_o the_o moral_a because_o of_o the_o coldness_n of_o the_o climate_n we_o shall_v never_o have_v opportunity_n to_o return_v to_o our_o duty_n to_o the_o positive_a precept_n more_o because_o our_o climate_n will_v never_o alter_v it_o will_v be_v always_o cold_a and_o so_o the_o positive_a precept_n to_o dip_v will_v be_v of_o no_o more_o use_n to_o we_o than_o the_o altar_n that_o be_v build_v on_o the_o other_o side_n of_o jordan_n be_v to_o they_o which_o be_v not_o build_v to_o offer_v sacrifice_n thereon_o but_o to_o be_v a_o witness_n of_o what_o be_v former_o do_v josh_n 22._o 28._o so_o the_o positive_a precept_n for_o dip_v shall_v only_o stand_v as_o a_o monument_n of_o what_o be_v do_v in_o the_o primitive_a time_n 5._o it_o be_v but_o a_o beg_a the_o question_n in_o this_o case_n to_o say_v that_o the_o positive_a precept_n do_v interfere_v with_o the_o moral_a no_o instance_n can_v be_v give_v of_o any_o one_o person_n disciple_v to_o christ_n that_o ever_o sustain_v the_o
