shall_v be_v save_v 16._o verse_n 16._o no_o baptism_n therefore_o say_v they_o before_o a_o profession_n of_o their_o faith_n s._n 23._o epist_n 23._o austin_n make_v answer_v to_o boniface_n a_o

that_o they_o do_v believe_v and_o the_o effect_n of_o his_o answer_n be_v yea_o but_o with_o this_o distinction_n a_o present_a actual_a habit_n of_o faith_n there_o be_v not_o in_o they_o but_o that_o habit_n of_o faith_n which_o afterward_o do_v come_v with_o year_n be_v but_o a_o far_a building_n up_o of_o the_o same_o edifice_n the_o first_o foundation_n whereof_o be_v lay_v by_o the_o
