than_o we_o desire_v or_o can_v with_o truth_n be_v affirm_v because_o though_o original_a sin_n be_v traduce_v from_o the_o parent_n yet_o inward_a holiness_n be_v not_o as_o be_v the_o product_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o his_o instrument_n baptism_n but_o if_o they_o do_v however_o attribute_v such_o a_o holiness_n to_o those_o child_n they_o say_v enough_o to_o evince_v that_o baptism_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v deny_v to_o they_o for_o who_o as_o s._n peter_n speak_v 10.47_o speak_v act_n 10.47_o upon_o another_o occasion_n can_v forbid_v the_o water_n of_o baptism_n to_o those_o who_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o to_o be_v sure_a all_o that_o be_v internal_o holy_a have_v it_o remain_v therefore_o that_o if_o the_o child_n of_o such_o match_n be_v not_o
