have_v produce_v a_o record_n either_o of_o precept_n or_o precedent_n for_o infant-baptism_n you_o will_v not_o be_v tie_v so_o close_o to_o the_o rule_n of_o disputation_n as_o not_o to_o have_v

may_v charge_v it_o partly_o on_o the_o different_a inclination_n of_o the_o corrector_n and_o partly_o on_o the_o difficulty_n of_o bring_v our_o common_a printer_n to_o any_o exactness_n if_o by_o
