or_o sin_n and_o yet_o we_o give_v they_o scripture_n command_v many_o and_o full_a though_o nothing_o will_v satisfy_v they_o no_o not_o when_o they_o have_v good_a measure_n press_v down_o shake_v

be_v their_o god_n and_o god_n threaten_v the_o disobedient_a and_o this_o command_n in_o the_o substantial_o be_v never_o abrogate_a therefore_o here_o be_v the_o first_o command_n with_o a_o full_a perpetual_a reason_n and_o with_o a_o threaten_a and_o a_o command_n of_o a_o continual_a stand_n and_o be_v the_o very_a same_o with_o baptism_n in_o the_o essentials_n 2._o when_o christ_n command_v

infant_n for_o they_o be_v the_o promise_n and_o here_o again_o you_o have_v both_o precept_n and_o promise_v and_o yet_o the_o anabaptist_n say_v there_o be_v no_o command_n what_o be_v it_o to_o set_v the_o word_n of_o god_n at_o naught_o and_o to_o cast_v his_o commandment_n behind_o our_o back_n if_o this_o be_v none_o let_v such_o therefore_o take_v heed_n lest_o the_o lord_n come_v and_o

to_o a_o ordinance_n equivalent_a to_o baptism_n be_v then_o profitable_a every_o way_n and_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n and_o be_v never_o since_o put_v aside_o from_o
