beginning-principle_n of_o his_o doctrine_n why_o shall_v they_o be_v offend_v at_o we_o for_o have_v a_o equal_a love_n to_o all_o the_o commandment_n of_o christ_n i_o will_v hope_v they_o have_v

bring_v on_o their_o own_o soul_n but_o let_v i_o close_o with_o one_o caution_n more_o since_o they_o know_v it_o be_v as_o sinful_a every_o way_n to_o diminish_v from_o god_n word_n as_o to_o

8.14_o 15._o i_o shall_v therefore_o offer_v something_o in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o this_o do_v not_o the_o scripture_n say_v plain_o in_o act_n 9.17_o that_o ananias_n put_v his_o hand_n upon_o

which_o our_o brethren_n affirm_v be_v also_o to_o confer_v the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o how_o much_o they_o be_v mistake_v herein_o shall_v be_v examine_v since_o it_o appear_v not_o that_o the_o apostle_n at_o jerusalem_n do_v either_o send_v peter_n and_o john_n to_o samaria_n upon_o that_o account_n or_o that_o they_o lay_v their_o hand_n upon_o those_o believe_a

you_o see_v be_v the_o express_a word_n for_o as_o yet_o say_v the_o text_n he_o be_v fall_v upon_o none_o of_o they_o only_o they_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n then_o lay_v they_o their_o hand_n on_o they_o and_o they_o receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n verse_n 14_o 25._o i_o know_v it_o be_v object_v from_o the_o follow_a word_n that_o the_o spirit_n come_v upon_o
