if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o want_v of_o love_n it_o be_v for_o want_v of_o light_n in_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ._n strange_a take_v two_o christian_n equal_a in_o all_o point_n

roundly_o to_o condemn_v our_o practice_n you_o come_v now_o to_o my_o eight_o argument_n which_o you_o do_v not_o only_o render_v false_o but_o by_o so_o do_v abuse_v your_o reader_n i_o say_v not_o that_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n do_v shut_v each_o other_o out_o of_o communion_n but_o for_o god_n people_n to_o divide_v into_o party_n or_o to_o shut_v each_o other_o from_o church-communion_n though_o for_o great_a point_n and_o upon_o high_a pretence_n than_o that_o of_o water-baptism_n have_v heretofore_o be_v count_v carnal_a and_o the_o actor_n therein_o babish-christians_a and_o then_o bring_v in_o the_o faction_n that_o be_v in_o the_o church_n at_o corinth_n but_o what_o may_v not_o the_o evil_a of_o deny_v church-communion_n now_o if_o prove_v naught_o by_o a_o less_o crime_n in_o the_o church_n at_o corinth_n be_v count_v carnal_a and_o babish_a but_o the_o breach_n of_o communion_n must_v be_v charge_v upon_o they_o at_o corinth_n also_o that_o my_o argument_n be_v good_a you_o grant_v pag._n 32._o saying_n the_o division_n at_o the_o church_n at_o corinth_n be_v about_o the_o high_a fundamental_a principle_n for_o which_o they_o be_v often_o call_v carnal_a yet_o you_o cavil_v at_o it_o but_o if_o they_o be_v to_o be_v blame_v for_o divide_v though_o for_o the_o high_a point_n be_v not_o you_o much_o more_o for_o condemn_v your_o brethren_n to_o perpetual_a banishment_n from_o church-communion_n though_o sound_n in_o all_o the_o great_a point_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o right_a in_o all_o church-ordinance_n also_o because_o for_o want_v of_o light_n they_o fail_v only_o in_o the_o point_n of_o baptism_n as_o to_o your_o quibble_n about_o paul_n and_o apollo_n whether_o they_o or_o other_o be_v the_o person_n though_o i_o be_o satisfy_v you_o be_v out_o yet_o it_o weaken_v not_o my_o argument_n for_o if_o they_o be_v blame-worthy_a for_o divide_v though_o about_o the_o high_a fundamental_a principle_n as_o you_o say_v how_o ought_v you_o to_o blush_v for_o carry_v it_o as_o you_o do_v to_o person_n perhaps_o more_o godly_a than_o ourselves_o because_o they_o jump_v not_o with_o you_o in_o a_o circumstance_n that_o the_o division_n at_o corinth_n be_v help_v on_o by_o the_o abuse_n of_o baptism_n to_o i_o be_v evident_a from_o paul_n so_o oft_o suggest_v it_o be_v you_o baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o paul_n i_o thank_v god_n i_o baptize_v none_o of_o you_o lest_o any_o shall_v say_v i_o have_v baptize_v in_o my_o own_o name_n i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o they_o who_o baptize_v they_o design_v this_o or_o that_o baptism_n in_o itself_o effect_v it_o nor_o yet_o though_o our_o author_n seign_n it_o that_o they_o be_v most_o of_o they_o baptize_v by_o their_o factious_a leader_n pag._n 55._o but_o that_o they_o have_v their_o factious_a leader_n be_v evident_a and_o that_o these_o leader_n make_v use_v of_o the_o name_n of_o paul_n apollo_n and_o christ_n be_v as_o evident_a for_o by_o these_o name_n they_o be_v beguile_v by_o the_o help_n of_o abuse_a baptism_n but_o say_v you_o wherein_o lie_v the_o force_n of_o this_o man_n argument_n against_o baptism_n as_o to_o its_o place_n worth_n and_o continuance_n i_o answer_v i_o have_v no_o argument_n against_o its_o place_n worth_n or_o continuance_n although_o thus_o you_o seek_v to_o scandalize_v i_o but_o this_o kind_n of_o sincerity_n of_o you_o will_v never_o make_v i_o one_o of_o your_o disciple_n have_v not_o i_o tell_v you_o even_o in_o this_o argument_n that_o i_o speak_v not_o as_o i_o do_v to_o persuade_v or_o teach_v man_n to_o break_v the_o least_o of_o god_n commandment_n but_o that_o my_o brethren_n of_o the_o baptized-way_n may_v not_o hold_v too_o much_o thereupon_o may_v not_o make_v it_o a_o essential_a of_o the_o gospel_n nor_o yet_o of_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n yet_o he_o feign_v that_o i_o urge_v two_o argument_n against_o it_o p._n 36._o &_o 38._o but_o reader_n thou_o may_v know_v i_o have_v no_o such_o reason_n in_o my_o book_n beside_o i_o shall_v be_v a_o fool_n indeed_o be_v i_o against_o it_o shall_v i_o make_v use_n of_o such_o weak_a argument_n my_o word_n then_o be_v these_o i_o thank_v god_n say_v paul_n that_o i_o baptize_v none_o of_o you_o but_o crispus_n etc._n etc._n not_o but_o that_o than_o it_o be_v a_o ordinance_n but_o they_o abuse_v it_o in_o make_v party_n thereby_o as_o they_o abuse_v also_o paul_n and_o cephas_n beside_o say_v he_o i_o know_v not_o whether_o i_o baptize_v any_o other_o by_o this_o negligent_a relate_n who_o be_v baptize_v by_o he_o he_o show_v that_o he_o make_v no_o such_o matter_n thereof_o as_o some_o in_o these_o day_n do_v nay_o that_o he_o make_v no_o matter_n at_o all_o thereof_o with_o respect_n to_o a_o church-communion_n for_o if_o he_o do_v not_o heed_n who_o himself_o have_v baptize_v much_o less_o do_v he_o heed_n who_o be_v baptize_v by_o other_o but_o if_o baptism_n have_v be_v the_o initiating-ordinance_n and_o i_o now_o add_v essential_a to_o church-communion_n then_o no_o doubt_n he_o have_v make_v more_o conscience_n of_o it_o than_o thus_o light_o to_o pass_v it_o by_o i_o add_v further_o where_o he_o say_v he_o be_v not_o send_v to_o baptize_v that_o he_o speak_v with_o a_o holy_a indignation_n against_o those_o that_o have_v abuse_v that_o ordinance_n baptism_n be_v a_o holy_a ordinance_n but_o when_o satan_n abuse_v it_o and_o wrench_v it_o out_o of_o its_o place_n make_v that_o which_o be_v ordain_v of_o god_n for_o the_o edification_n of_o believer_n the_o only_a weapon_n to_o break_v in_o piece_n the_o love_n unity_n and_o concord_n of_o the_o saint_n than_o as_o paul_n 7_o say_v of_o himself_o and_o fellow_n what_o be_v baptism_n neither_o be_v baptism_n any_o thing_n this_o be_v no_o new_a doctrine_n for_o god_n by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o prophet_n 15._o of_o old_a cry_v out_o against_o his_o own_o appointment_n when_o abuse_v by_o his_o own_o people_n because_o they_o use_v they_o for_o strife_n and_o debate_n and_o to_o smite_v with_o the_o fist_n of_o wickedness_n but_o to_o forbear_v to_o 4._o take_v notice_n thus_o of_o these_o thing_n my_o argument_n stand_v firm_a against_o you_o for_o if_o they_o at_o corinth_n be_v blame-worthy_a for_o divide_v though_o their_o division_n be_v if_o you_o say_v true_a about_o the_o high_a fundamental_o you_o ought_v to_o be_v ashamed_a thus_o to_o banish_v your_o brethren_n from_o the_o privilege_n of_o church-communion_n for_o ever_o for_o the_o want_n of_o so_o low_a a_o thing_n as_o water-baptism_n i_o call_v it_o not_o low_a with_o respect_n to_o god_n appointment_n though_o so_o it_o be_v far_o from_o the_o high_a place_n but_o in_o comparison_n of_o those_o fundamental_o about_o which_o you_o say_v the_o corinthian_n make_v their_o division_n you_o come_v next_o to_o my_o nine_o argument_n and_o serve_v it_o as_o hanun_n serve_v david_n servant_n 2_o sam._n 10._o 4._o
