more_o material_a to_o consider_v the_o question_n as_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o and_o without_o relation_n to_o any_o school_n of_o learning_n therefore_o 3._o it_o be_v certain_a that_o in_o

fruit_n of_o it_o *_o that_o to_o baptism_n there_o be_v many_o act_n of_o predisposition_n require_v as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o communion_n and_o yet_o the_o church_n who_o very_o well_o

understand_v but_o not_o before_o but_o that_o what_o be_v on_o god_n part_n be_v always_o ready_a to_o they_o that_o can_v receive_v it_o *_o that_o infant_n although_o they_o can_v alone_o come_v to_o christ_n yet_o the_o church_n their_o mother_n can_v bring_v they_o in_o her_o arm_n *_o that_o they_o who_o be_v capable_a of_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o sacrament_n may_v also_o receive_v the_o sign_n and_o therefore_o the_o same_o grace_n be_v convey_v to_o they_o in_o one_o sacrament_n may_v also_o be_v impart_v to_o they_o in_o the_o other_o *_o that_o as_o they_o can_v be_v bear_v again_o without_o their_o own_o consent_n so_o they_o can_v be_v say_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o other_o and_o what_o begin_v without_o their_o own_o actual_a choice_n may_v be_v renew_v without_o

in_o which_o also_o as_o in_o the_o other_o the_o sacrifice_a lamb_n be_v represent_v as_o offer_v and_o slay_v for_o they_o now_o the_o church_n have_v such_o fair_a probability_n and_o prudential_a

we_o condemn_v all_o the_o primitive_a catholic_n church_n and_o all_o the_o modern_a church_n of_o the_o east_n and_o south_n to_o this_o day_n especial_o since_o without_o all_o disposition_n
