join_v to_o the_o element_n or_o to_o the_o action_n than_o there_o be_v a_o true_a sacrament_n augustin_n be_v ill_o understand_v by_o two_o sort_n of_o men●_n first_o by_o they_o that_o say_v that_o

much_o for_o here_o the_o direct_a meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v that_o the_o church_n be_v cleanse_v by_o water_n through_o the_o word_n when_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n express_v in_o his_o
