gather_v that_o it_o be_v ordinary_o the_o proper_a office_n of_o priest_n to_o baptise_v for_o that_o the_o priest_n be_v the_o successor_n of_o the_o disciple_n as_o the_o bishop_n be_v to_o the_o

many_o first_o it_o be_v not_o of_o the_o essence_n of_o baptism_n that_o the_o minister_n that_o be_v he_o that_o baptize_v be_v in_o holy_a order_n therefore_o in_o necessity_n it_o may_v be_v
