by_o their_o own_o actual_a consent_n and_o sure_o if_o thing_n be_v regular_o carry_v in_o the_o church_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o pass_v out_o of_o the_o infant_n state_n of_o

original_a sin_n how_o much_o more_o now_o do_v they_o need_v it_o when_o they_o have_v commit_v so_o many_o actual_a sin_n 5._o the_o remembrance_n of_o his_o baptism_n shall_v be_v a_o mighty_a argument_n to_o turn_v a_o sinner_n from_o the_o error_n of_o his_o way_n say_v to_o thy_o soul_n o_o sinner_n i_o be_v dedicate_v to_o christ_n in_o my_o infancy_n and_o now_o shall_v i_o go_v on_o
