in_o the_o baptise_v of_o a_o fit_a person_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o sacred_a trinity_n therefore_o our_o dissent_v brethren_n be_v to_o blame_v to_o make_v our_o baptism_n to_o be_v essential_o

in_o conformity_n to_o his_o be_v bury_v with_o christ_n by_o baptism_n shall_v be_v under_o the_o water_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o inter_v corpse_n be_v but_o under_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o baptise_a person_n by_o our_o adversary_n can_v plead_v no_o more_o than_o be_v under_o part_n of_o the_o water_n wherein_o he_o be_v baptise_a and_o the_o child_n or_o person_n baptise_a by_o

scripture_n which_o in_o express_a word_n command_v dip_v and_o here_o they_o be_v much_o to_o blame_v who_o while_o they_o cry_v out_o against_o we_o for_o want_v of_o scripture-proof_n for_o infant_n baptism_n whereof_o this_o treatise_n have_v endeavour_v to_o manifest_v we_o not_o destitute_a adhere_v to_o the_o practice_n of_o this_o mode_n of_o baptise_v by_o dip_v without_o the_o
