own_o parent_n a._n because_o this_o name_n like_o the_o new_a birth_n be_v not_o fleshly_a but_o spiritual_a therefore_o i_o receive_v a_o name_n from_o god_n and_o not_o from_o man_n a_o new_a birth_n new_a parent_n and_o a_o new_a name_n because_o i_o be_o adopt_v into_o a_o new_a family_n hence_o be_v it_o that_o with_o we_o they_o be_v name_v godfathers_n father_n from_o god_n or_o in_o

by_o myself_o 2_o because_o we_o be_v baptise_a in_o our_o infancy_n since_o baptism_n be_v of_o such_o necessity_n partly_o by_o reason_n of_o our_o natural_a corruption_n and_o partly_o by_o
