use_v dip_v and_o it_o be_v more_o agreeable_a to_o the_o mystery_n to_o use_v it_o three_o time_n and_o that_o so_o the_o ancient_a church_n understand_v it_o therefore_o these_o thing_n be_v a_o sufficient_a warrant_n to_o acquit_v we_o from_o the_o obligation_n of_o the_o contrary_a custom_n because_o a_o custom_n against_o which_o there_o be_v so_o much_o probability_n and_o in_o which_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n and_o no_o advantage_n be_v to_o be_v presume_v unreasonable_a the_o reason_n if_o i_o may_v presume_v to_o guess_v be_v partly_o because_o he_o see_v the_o doctor_n be_v dispute_n lie_v not_o against_o the_o unlawfulness_n but_o obligatoriness_n of_o the_o contrary_a custom_n and_o he_o may_v see_v that_o as_o the_o probability_n against_o it_o be_v not_o so_o great_a as_o the_o doctor_n fancy_v so_o the_o necessity_n of_o it_o be_v sometime_o so_o much_o and_o the_o advantage_n in_o case_n of_o necessity_n and_o charity_n so_o considerable_a as_o that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v presume_v unreasonable_a but_o on_o the_o contrary_a aught_o to_o be_v judge_v very_o rational_a partly_o it_o be_v because_o the_o doctor_n do_v in_o the_o very_a next_o word_n in_o the_o former_a clause_n of_o the_o same_o period_n assert_v that_o because_o there_o be_v even_o in_o sprinkle_v something_o of_o the_o analogy_n of_o the_o mystery_n as_o be_v right_o observe_v by_o

say_v she_o do_v that_o she_o change_v dip_v into_o sprinkle_v this_o can_v signify_v that_o before_o that_o change_n there_o be_v no_o sprinkle_n at_o all_o in_o that_o church_n but_o that_o it_o whole_o leave_v off_o to_o dip_v which_o have_v be_v the_o public_a and_o solemn_a way_n of_o baptise_v in_o that_o as_o well_o as_o in_o other_o church_n and_o in_o stead_n thereof_o even_o in_o

change_n in_o this_o respect_n make_v dip_v all_o the_o whole_a body_n under_o the_o water_n into_o sprinkle_v upon_o the_o face_n the_o marquis_n even_o as_o mr._n danvers_n quote_v he_o say_v not_o

too_o under_o water_n and_o not_o his_o whole_a body_n and_o that_o such_o a_o way_n of_o baptise_v have_v be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o western_a church_n i_o have_v show_v before_o ch._n 10._o and_o if_o that_o be_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n meaning_n in_o what_o she_o confess_v here_o by_o her_o learned_a pen_n than_o mr._n d._n get_v nothing_o to_o his_o cause_n by_o her_o confession_n but_o if_o not_o yet_o still_o what_o change_n soever_o she_o make_v therein_o she_o do_v no_o more_o than_o she_o lawful_o may_v be_v invest_v with_o the_o same_o power_n in_o such_o case_n as_o other_o church_n have_v and_o the_o thing_n itself_o be_v no_o substantial_a part_n but_o only_o a_o accidental_a circumstance_n of_o that_o sacrament_n wherein_o church_n have_v power_n to_o continue_v or_o

be_o of_o opinion_n it_o be_v not_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o make_v this_o change_n but_o a_o church_n that_o have_v more_o power_n than_o that_o church_n ever_o have_v even_o the_o catholic_n church_n which_o rome_n be_v not_o any_o more_o than_o any_o other_o particular_a national_a church_n be_v even_o so_o far_o as_o she_o hold_v union_n and_o fellowship_n with_o the_o church_n catholic_n in_o truth_n of_o doctrine_n essential_o of_o worship_n and_o substantial_o of_o discipline_n and_o this_o appear_v because_o the_o church_n the_o marquis_n there_o speak_v of_o be_v that_o church_n that_o can_v deposit_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n and_o introduce_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o christian_a lord_n day_n which_o sure_o be_v not_o do_v by_o that_o particular_a church_n but_o by_o the_o whole_a catholic_n church_n throughout_o the_o world_n and_o that_o church_n indeed_o that_o can_v do_v that_o can_v without_o doubt_n change_v the_o dip_v over_o head_n and_o ear_n in_o water_n into_o a_o little_a sprinkle_n upon_o the_o face_n by_o reason_n of_o some_o emergency_n and_o inconvenience_n occasion_v by_o the_o difference_n of_o season_n and_o country_n as_o the_o marquis_n there_o add_v and_o may_v upon_o the_o like_a occasion_n according_o dispose_v of_o the_o manner_n of_o her_o administration_n of_o her_o sacrament_n for_o sure_a to_o deposit_v the_o observation_n of_o a_o day_n express_o command_v to_o be_v keep_v holy_a and_o to_o introduce_v the_o like_a observation_n of_o another_o day_n touch_v the_o keep_n of_o which_o holy_a never_o any_o command_n be_v give_v as_o none_o that_o we_o know_v of_o be_v ever_o give_v for_o its_o sanctification_n though_o in_o all_o probability_n it_o be_v found_v in_o apostolical_a practice_n partly_o intimate_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o further_o notify_v by_o tradition_n imply_v a_o power_n as_o great_a as_o if_o not_o great_a than_o to_o change_v a_o rite_n in_o a_o sacrament_n not_o more_o command_v than_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n nor_o so_o much_o as_o that_o if_o it_o be_v ever_o at_o all_o under_o any_o command_n which_o be_v deny_v by_o learned_a man_n as_o in_o those_o paper_n be_v show_v §_o 72._o so_o then_o if_o there_o be_v no_o change_n make_v than_o we_o be_v as_o we_o be_v at_o first_o and_o if_o there_o be_v a_o change_n make_v it_o be_v make_v by_o a_o church_n whether_o the_o catholic_n or_o roman_n that_o have_v power_n to_o make_v it_o either_o way_n will_v serve_v our_o turn_n for_o which_o way_n
