without_o the_o word_n how_o else_o shall_v they_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n in_o what_o manner_n the_o spirit_n do_v regenerate_v such_o be_v to_o we_o unknown_a nor_o will_v i_o

in_o the_o tongue_n or_o pen_n of_o any_o sober_a christian_a thus_o we_o see_v in_o few_o word_n that_o the_o consequent_a of_o the_o major_n be_v a_o idle_a non_fw-fr sequitur_fw-la ground_v on_o a_o false_a supposition_n for_o although_o we_o say_v that_o actual_a regeneration_n be_v not_o wrought_v but_o by_o the_o word_n yet_o we_o grant_v not_o this_o vniversal_o of_o all_o but_o only_o of_o person_n of_o year_n 2_o to_o the_o minor_a i_o answer_v thus_o 1_o i_o deny_v that_o the_o apostle_n in_o that_o place_n do_v speak_v of_o regeneration_n wrought_v by_o the_o word_n for_o he_o speak_v not_o at_o all_o either_o of_o regeneration_n strict_o and_o formal_o so_o call_v but_o only_o of_o a_o act_n which_o suppose_v regeneration_n nor_o of_o that_o act_n as_o wrought_v by_o the_o

and_o say_v that_o baptism_n have_v such_o efficacy_n in_o it_o as_o to_o enable_v a_o christian_n to_o make_v answer_n unto_o god_n because_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o baptism_n although_o not_o the_o outward_a wash_n yet_o the_o inward_a grace_n save_v as_o other_o may_v urge_v it_o against_o i_o by_o infer_v thence_o that_o baptism_n can_v save_v without_o the_o word_n for_o there_o be_v not_o in_o that_o place_n any_o mention_n or_o so_o much_o as_o the_o least_o insinuation_n of_o the_o word_n but_o only_o of_o baptism_n 2_o i_o add_v that_o expositor_n agree_v not_o in_o the_o
