and_o set_v the_o learned_a together_o by_o the_o ear_n about_o the_o meaning_n of_o these_o greek_a word_n and_o indeed_o according_a to_o mr._n walker_n no_o man_n can_v certain_o know_v when_o he_o hit_v right_a upon_o the_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v in_o obedience_n to_o this_o precept_n baptise_v they_o as_o if_o our_o lord_n shall_v leave_v his_o apostle_n and_o they_o leave_v we_o to_o guess_v at_o his_o meaning_n in_o a_o passage_n wherein_o he_o command_v nothing_o certain_o and_o yet_o to_o go_v round_o again_o however_o we_o use_v water_n in_o the_o name_n etc._n etc._n we_o can_v hardly_o go_v beside_o the_o meaning_n of_o christ_n for_o if_o we_o dip_v the_o subject_a in_o the_o element_n of_o water_n we_o be_v right_a if_o we_o sprinkle_v it_o upon_o any_o part_n of_o the_o body_n for_o you_o can_v assign_v no_o one_o part_n more_o than_o the_o other_o we_o be_v right_o still_o if_o we_o dip_v the_o head_n only_o or_o only_o the_o foot_n we_o be_v right_a if_o the_o head_n or_o breast_n or_o hand_n only_o be_v sprinkle_v still_o we_o be_v right_a now_o who_o can_v think_v that_o our_o saviour_n shall_v use_v a_o ambiguous_a word_n which_o be_v to_o guide_v we_o in_o matter_n of_o fact_n do_v not_o man_n that_o thus_o deal_v with_o the_o word_n baptise_v make_v he_o the_o author_n of_o all_o our_o contest_v in_o this_o case_n and_o assure_o mr._n walker_n have_v run_v many_o a_o one_o into_o a_o maze_n about_o the_o meaning_n of_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d and_o i_o be_o sorry_a to_o see_v
