i_o think_v of_o all_o god_n sacrament_n in_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o church_n and_o of_o baptism_n because_o it_o be_v a_o mark_n of_o our_o christian_a church_n iiii_o this_o i_o judge_v after_o the_o doctrine_n of_o saint_n paul_n that_o it_o be_v a_o seal_n and_o confirmation_n of_o justice_n xviii_o either_o of_o our_o acception_n into_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n for_o chryst_n for_o his_o innocencye_n and_o justice_n by_o faith_n be_v we_o and_o our_o sin_n and_o injustice_n by_o his_o obedience_n be_v he_o whereof_o baptism_n be_v the_o sign_n seal_n and_o confirmation_n for_o although_o free_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n our_o sin_n be_v forgeven_v yet_o the_o same_o be_v declare_v by_o the_o gospel_n receive_v by_o faith_n and_o seal_v by_o y_z e_z sacrament_n which_o be_v the_o seal_n of_o god_n promise_n as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v see_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o faithful_a abraham_n xxviii_o baptism_n have_v his_o promise_n as_o be_v a_o fore_n say_v his_o element_n xuj_o the_o water_n viij_o his_o proper_a commandment_n &_o his_o proper_a ceremony_n wash_v in_o y_z e_z water_n as_o for_o other_o man_n opinioâ—s_n that_o say_v circumsition_n be_v the_o seal_n not_o only_o of_o abraham_n acceptation_n free_o into_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n by_o faith_n but_o also_o of_o his_o obedience_n and_o proper_a justice_n i_o believe_v it_o not_o to_o be_v true_a for_o s._n paul_n confute_v it_o in_o the_o same_o place_n as_o a_o error_n say_v abraham_n have_v nothing_o whereof_o he_o may_v glory_v before_o god_n if_o he_o have_v nothing_o god_n confirm_v that_o he_o give_v he_o &_o not_o that_o he_o find_v in_o he_o for_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o circumcision_n be_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o justice_n that_o can_v by_o faith_n &_o not_o by_o work_n they_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n that_o have_v the_o like_a opinion_n of_o baptism_n for_o s._n paul_n dispute_v not_o in_o that_o place_n whether_o work_n please_v god_n ix_o but_o show_v that_o our_o salvation_n come_v by_o grace_n and_o not_o by_o work_n there_o be_v other_o that_o think_v sacrament_n to_o be_v the_o confirmation_n not_o only_o of_o our_o free_a acceptacyon_n into_o god_n favour_n by_o faith_n but_o also_o of_o our_o obedience_n towards_o god_n hereafter_o and_o because_o infant_n and_o young_a babe_n can_v profess_v obedience_n nor_o put_v of_o the_o old_a man_n nor_o put_v on_o the_o new_a they_o will_v exempt_v and_o defraud_v the_o young_a child_n of_o baptism_n saint_n paul_n confess_v also_o this_o opinion_n in_o the_o same_o place_n xvii_o abraham_n say_v he_o beleve_v god_n and_o it_o be_v accont_v unto_o he_o for_o justice_n and_o say_v not_o abraham_n profess_v obedience_n therefore_o god_n confirm_v his_o own_o infallible_a truth_n and_o promise_n to_o abraham_n by_o circumcision_n and_o not_o abraham_n obedience_n for_o if_o he_o have_v he_o have_v confirm_v the_o week_n and_o uncertayn_a infirmity_n of_o man_n and_o not_o his_o own_o infallible_a truth_n for_o abraham_n with_o all_o his_o obedience_n be_v infyrme_v and_o unperfect_a without_o christ_n yet_o be_v bind_v to_o work_v in_o a_o godly_a life_n as_o for_o those_o that_o say_v circumcision_n and_o baptism_n be_v like_o and_o yet_o attribute_v the_o remission_n of_o original_a sin_n to_o baptysme_n which_o be_v never_o give_v unto_o circumcision_n they_o only_o destroy_v not_o the_o similitude_n and_o equality_n that_o shall_v be_v between_o they_o but_o also_o take_v from_o christ_n remission_n of_o sin_n and_o translate_v it_o into_o the_o water_n and_o element_n of_o baptism_n as_o for_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o be_v the_o other_o sacrament_n whereby_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v know_v i_o believe_v it_o be_v a_o remembrance_n of_o christ_n death_n a_o seal_n &_o confyrmation_n of_o his_o preciouse_a body_n give_v unto_o death_n wherwyth_o we_o be_v redeem_v it_o be_v a_o vysyble_a word_n that_o prech_v peace_n between_o god_n and_o man_n exhort_v to_o mutual_a love_n and_o godly_a life_n teach_v to_o contemn_v the_o world_n for_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v when_o as_o chry_v shall_v appear_v and_o come_v down_o in_o to_o the_o cloud_n which_o now_o be_v in_o heaven_n as_o consern_v his_o humanytye_n and_o no_o where_o else_o nor_o never_o be_v till_o the_o time_n of_o the_o general_a resurrection_n i_o be_v leave_v that_o this_o holi_fw-la sacrament_n have_v his_o proper_a promise_n xxvi_o proper_a element_n xiiii_o proper_a commandment_n xxii_o and_o proper_a ceremony_n xi_o as_o concern_v the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n i_o believe_v that_o the_o church_n be_v bind_v to_o no_o sort_n of_o people_n or_o any_o ordinary_a succession_n of_o bishop_n xx_o cardinal_n or_o such_o like_a but_o unto_o the_o only_a word_n of_o god_n &_o none_o of_o they_o shall_v be_v beleve_v but_o when_o they_o speak_v y_z e_o word_n of_o god_n although_o there_o be_v diversity_n of_o gift_n &_o knowledge_n among_o man_n iiii_o some_o know_v more_o and_o some_o know_v less_o and_o if_o he_o that_o know_v lest_o teach_v christ_n i_fw-it after_o the_o holy_a scripture_n he_o be_v to_o be_v accept_v &_o he_o that_o know_v most_o &_o teach_v christ_n contrary_a or_o and_o their_o way_n than_o the_o holy_a scripture_n teach_v be_v to_o be_v refuse_v i_o be_o sorry_a therefore_o with_o all_o my_o herte_n to_o see_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n degenerate_v into_o a_o civil_a policy_n for_o even_o as_o king_n of_o the_o world_n natural_o by_o descent_n from_o their_o parent_n must_v solow_v in_o civil_a regiment_n rule_n and_o law_n as_o by_o right_n they_o ought_v even_o so_o must_v such_o as_o succeed_v in_o the_o place_n of_o bishop_n and_o priest_n that_o die_v possess_v all_o gift_n and_o learning_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o rule_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n as_o his_o godly_a predecessor_n have_v so_o that_o tholy_a ghost_n must_v be_v captive_a &_o bondman_n to_o bishops_n sea_n &_o palacy_n and_o because_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v in_o saint_n peter_n at_o rome_n and_o in_o many_o other_o godly_a man_n that_o have_v occupy_v bishoppricke_n and_o dioses_fw-es therefore_o the_o same_o gift_n they_o sai_o must_v needs_o follow_v in_o their_o successor_n although_o in_o deed_n they_o be_v no_o more_o like_a of_o zeal_n nor_o diligence_n than_o peter_n and_o judas_n balaham_n and_o jeremy_n anna_n &_o caiphas_n to_o john_n and_o james._n but_o thus_o i_o conclude_v of_o the_o mynyster_n of_o what_o degree_n or_o dignity_n soever_o they_o be_v they_o be_v no_o better_o they_o record_n &_o testymonye_n mynyster_n and_o servant_n of_o god_n word_n and_o god_n sacrament_n unto_o the_o which_o they_o shall_v neither_o add_v

honour_v by_o the_o magistrate_n iiii_o as_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n i._o and_o i_o believe_v two_o that_o as_o many_o soul_n as_o perish_v by_o their_o negligence_n or_o contempt_n of_o god_n word_n xxxiii_o be_v require_v at_o their_o hand_n of_o the_o people_n thus_o i_o believe_v that_o they_o owe_v their_o duty_n and_o obebience_n to_o god_n to_o they_o king_n and_o magistrate_n unto_o their_o neighbour_n and_o unto_o themselves_o unto_o god_n they_o owe_v both_o body_n and_o soul_n to_o laud_v and_o praise_v he_o according_a to_o god_n book_n to_o call_v upon_o he_o in_o the_o

serve_v in_o this_o respect_n neither_o better_o nor_o worse_o xxxv_o for_o i_o believe_v such_o as_o obey_v king_n josias_n and_o be_v slay_v in_o the_o battle_n against_o the_o egyptian_n be_v
