be_v baptize_v in_o which_o word_n diverse_a thing_n do_v offer_v themselves_o to_o be_v consider_v and_o that_o which_o i_o think_v first_o be_v necessary_a be_v the_o conjunction_n of_o these_o

join_v together_o he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v between_o these_o two_o i_o mean_v faith_n and_o baptism_n christ_n do_v part_v the_o cause_n of_o salvation_n yet_o let_v none_o mistake_v i_o in_o that_o i_o say_v these_o be_v cause_n of_o salvation_n i_o do_v not_o say_v they_o be_v principal_a cause_n but_o instrumental_a adiuvant_fw-la secundary_a inferior_a cause_n which_o it_o

absolute_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n so_o that_o he_o that_o want_v either_o one_o or_o both_o must_v be_v damn_v which_o in_o the_o latter_a member_n i_o shall_v more_o large_o declare_v but_o i_o say_v they_o be_v necessary_a in_o respect_n of_o our_o obedience_n and_o necessary_a because_o command_v and_o therefore_o if_o of_o contempt_n or_o gross_a or_o affect_a negligence_n we_o either_o

both_o together_o even_o as_o christ_n himself_o do_v he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v both_o of_o they_o be_v in_o their_o kind_n necessary_a of_o the_o one_o that_o be_v faith_n the_o
