as_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o continue_v but_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o command_n do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o etc._n etc._n do_v continue_v to_o christ_n last_n outward_a come_n which_o reason_n be_v this_o that_o by_o that_o practice_n they_o may_v remember_v the_o lord_n death_n and_o not_o only_o remember_v it_o but_o show_v it_o forth_o public_o declare_v and_o profess_v it_o and_o the_o inestimable_a benefit_n they_o have_v by_o it_o now_o put_v the_o case_n that_o any_o have_v so_o good_a and_o live_a remembrance_n of_o it_o that_o they_o need_v not_o the_o outward_a thing_n to_o put_v they_o in_o remembrance_n thereof_o yet_o that_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o answer_v the_o reason_n and_o end_v of_o the_o command_n which_o be_v by_o this_o outward_a practice_n to_o show_v it_o forth_o and_o declare_v it_o by_o a_o public_a profession_n that_o they_o owe_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o salvation_n to_o the_o crucify_a jesus_n and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o own_o and_o confess_v he_o their_o saviour_n their_o king_n their_o priest_n and_o prophet_n and_o in_o token_n thereof_o they_o give_v testimony_n of_o their_o obedience_n to_o these_o his_o peculiar_a positive_a law_n and_o institution_n of_o water-baptism_n and_o the_o supper_n for_o if_o these_o be_v reject_v by_o the_o same_o method_n man_n may_v reject_v all_o other_o his_o positive_a institution_n relate_v to_o external_n practice_n of_o religion_n and_o so_o turn_v the_o christian_a religion_n into_o mere_a deism_n and_o pagan_a morality_n the_o second_o reason_n be_v that_o the_o end_n of_o this_o institution_n be_v a_o solemn_a commemoration_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o sacrifice_n which_o he_o offer_v up_o to_o god_n for_o our_o sin_n above_o sixteen_o

water-baptism_n and_o the_o supper_n as_o command_v by_o christ_n and_o practise_v by_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o such_o prenunciative_a sign_n of_o the_o come_n of_o his_o spirit_n within_o they_o
