to_o their_o essence_n he_o can_v prove_v a_o church_n may_v be_v in_o a_o parish_n as_o well_o as_o in_o a_o country_n or_o city_n as_o ephesus_n corinth_n yea_o as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o world_n by_o this_o you_o may_v conceive_v what_o a_o good_a friend_n he_o be_v like_a to_o be_v to_o our_o parish_n church_n against_o anabaptist_n and_o brownist_n that_o although_o he_o account_v they_o

will_v confess_v be_v the_o matter_n of_o a_o true_a church_n nay_o there_o may_v be_v a_o rigid_a separate_a church_n in_o fellowship_n and_o order_n in_o a_o parish_n as_o well_o as_o in_o a_o

one_o whether_o as_o carnal_a or_o profane_a be_v not_o excommunicate_v what_o therefore_o shall_v hinder_v their_o child_n baptism_n hence_o he_o own_v all_o in_o our_o church_n that_o be_v baptize_v
