Being a reply to a late insulting pamphlet, written by Thomas Lamb, merchant, intitulled, Truth prevailing against the fiercest opposition; or, An answer to Mr. John Goodwins Water-dipping, no firm footing for church-communion.

the_o sprinkle_n or_o pour_v out_o of_o water_n than_o dip_v into_o water_n but_o to_o make_v it_o represent_v the_o burial_n of_o christ_n how_o will_v you_o make_v the_o parallel_n let_v we_o try_v

the_o earth_n it_o do_v frequent_o sign_n fie_o the_o spirit_n the_o blood_n of_o christ_n the_o pure_a word_n of_o god_n whereby_o man_n be_v make_v clean_o when_o they_o be_v pollute_v refresh_v
