the_o lord_n supper_n but_o this_o seem_v a_o double_a mystery_n to_o i_o how_o person_n be_v fit_a and_o capable_a of_o union_n in_o a_o state_n that_o be_v not_o fit_a and_o capable_a of_o

that_o infant_n shall_v be_v capable_a of_o baptism_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v capable_a of_o the_o lord_n supper_n you_o have_v see_v even_o now_o a_o reason_n of_o both_o both_o in_o religion_n and_o
