bind_v himself_o to_o perform_v what_o god_n require_v of_o he_o 4._o this_o be_v do_v in_o the_o name_n or_o into_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n where_o god_n do_v more_o full_o and_o clear_o and_o distinct_o declare_v himself_o than_o ever_o he_o do_v to_o abraham_n or_o any_o of_o his_o covenant_n people_n before_o at_o least_o together_o and_o at_o one_o

son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o have_v a_o right_n to_o he_o as_o father_n as_o he_o have_v to_o we_o as_o child_n and_o to_o he_o as_o son_n of_o the_o father_n and_o what_o the_o son_n have_v do_v for_o we_o as_o he_o have_v a_o right_a to_o we_o as_o child_n and_o brethren_n heb._n 2.11,12,13,14_o and_o we_o have_v a_o right_n as_o well_o as_o relation_n to_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o to_o what_o he_o do_v as_o he_o have_v a_o right_a to_o we_o to_o teach_v lead_v sanctify_v and_o dwell_v in_o we_o we_o have_v god_n engage_v to_o we_o and_o we_o be_v engage_v and_o oblige_v to_o god_n the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n as_o such_o 7._o as_o god_n say_v i_o be_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n thou_o shall_v have_v no_o other_o god_n but_o i_o bind_v his_o covenant_n people_n to_o himself_o in_o which_o this_o positive_a duty_n be_v imply_v thou_o shall_v have_v i_o for_o thy_o god_n so_o here_o in_o our_o baptism_n we_o be_v engage_v to_o have_v god_n the_o

this_o revelation_n as_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o now_o i_o come_v to_o show_v you_o that_o this_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n or_o three_o person_n in_o the_o godhead_n be_v a_o practical_a doctrine_n as_o well_o as_o fundamental_a and_o to_o be_v know_v and_o believe_v of_o all_o christian_n and_o then_o the_o practical_a improvement_n of_o baptism_n 1._o let_v we_o take_v
