then_o my_o present-practice_n of_o free_a communion_n with_o reform_a godly_a congregation_n of_o pedobaptist_n but_o much_o more_o to_o persuade_v other_o to_o join_v with_o i_o therein_o i_o

some_o argument_n to_o evince_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o church-communion_n between_o the_o godly_a both_o pedobaptist_n and_o anabaptist_n and_o the_o unlawfulnesse_n of_o deny_v their_o communion_n

all_o these_o they_o both_o agree_v 7._o as_o the_o one_o hold_v themselves_o actual_o engage_v to_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n by_o their_o baptism_n after_o faith_n so_o do_v the_o other_o by_o

some_o and_o likewise_o in_o relation_n to_o the_o form_n of_o administration_n yet_o agree_v in_o so_o many_o of_o the_o substantial_a part_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o baptism_n as_o be_v before_o
