hardly_o go_v beside_o the_o meaning_n of_o christ_n for_o if_o we_o dip_v the_o subject_a in_o the_o element_n of_o water_n we_o be_v right_a if_o we_o sprinkle_v it_o upon_o any_o part_n of_o the_o body_n for_o you_o can_v assign_v no_o one_o part_n more_o than_o the_o other_o we_o be_v right_o still_o if_o we_o dip_v the_o head_n only_o or_o only_o the_o foot_n we_o be_v right_a if_o the_o head_n or_o breast_n or_o hand_n only_o be_v sprinkle_v still_o we_o be_v right_a now_o who_o can_v think_v that_o our_o saviour_n shall_v use_v a_o ambiguous_a word_n which_o be_v to_o guide_v we_o in_o matter_n of_o fact_n do_v not_o man_n that_o thus_o deal_v with_o the_o word_n baptise_v make_v he_o the_o author_n of_o all_o our_o contest_v in_o this_o case_n and_o assure_o mr._n walker_n have_v run_v many_o a_o one_o into_o a_o maze_n about_o the_o meaning_n of_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d and_o i_o be_o sorry_a to_o see_v

cause_n why_o we_o think_v your_o pretend_a baptism_n a_o nullity_n for_o your_o error_n about_o the_o subject_n be_v more_o than_o the_o other_o 3._o what_o you_o say_v further_o be_v to_o make_v we_o believe_v that_o christ_n do_v not_o go_v into_o the_o water_n that_o the_o eunuch_n go_v to_o the_o water_n only_o because_o the_o preposition_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d signify_v add_v to_o but_o your_o conscience_n will_v tell_v you_o it_o signify_v into_o as_o well_o as_o to_o and_o indeed_o you_o grant_v it_o and_o then_o to_o what_o putpose_n do_v you_o quarrel_v our_o

be_v all_o baptize_v in_o the_o river_n confess_v their_o sin_n now_o sir_n here_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d can_v be_v render_v to_o the_o river_n nor_o with_o the_o river_n without_o egregious_a

therefore_o of_o necessity_n we_o must_v understand_v dip_v be_v the_o only_a true_a mode_n of_o baptise_v 4._o i_o marvel_v how_o any_o wise_a man_n can_v look_v upon_o that_o text_n john_n 3._o 23._o john_n baptize_v in_o enon_n because_o there_o be_v much_o water_n there_o and_o so_o much_o as_o think_v sprinkle_v to_o be_v a_o lawful_a way_n of_o baptise_v if_o he_o will_v use_v any_o of_o

what_o though_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d signify_v many_o water_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o signify_v many_o river_n but_o by_o the_o noise_n of_o many_o water_n be_v often_o mean_v the_o noise_n of_o much_o water_n in_o one_o source_n or_o channel_n however_o you_o say_v the_o greek_a signify_v the_o confluence_n of_o these_o two_o spring_n jordan_n and_o jaboc_n but_o yet_o you_o be_v unwilling_a that_o they_o shall_v yield_v so_o much_o water_n as_o may_v suffice_v to_o dip_v in_o and_o yet_o the_o scripture_n tell_v you_o elsewhere_o that_o jordan_n overflow_v all_o her_o bank_n at_o certain_a time_n and_o lithgow_n that_o be_v at_o it_o will_v give_v you_o a_o account_n that_o it_o be_v a_o river_n sufficient_a to_o dip_v a_o big_a man_n than_o yourself_o in_o but_o here_o you_o say_v be_v no_o mention_n of_o dip_v yes_o sir_n but_o there_o be_v for_o when_o you_o hear_v that_o john_n be_v baptise_v in_o enon_n he_o be_v either_o dip_v or_o sprinkle_v the_o latter_a will_v make_v the_o speech_n absurd_a and_o nonsensical_a the_o former_a therefore_o be_v his_o business_n for_o he_o be_v dip_v in_o enon_n near_o salem_n because_o there_o be_v much_o water_n there_o your_o church_n therefore_o be_v very_o much_o to_o blame_v in_o leave_v the_o way_n of_o truth_n and_o follow_v she_o own_o tradition_n and_o be_v therefore_o the_o cause_n of_o our_o present_a disunion_n and_o will_v be_v till_o she_o turn_v to_o the_o truth_n both_o in_o the_o subject_a and_o manner_n of_o baptism_n or_o at_o least_o forbear_v to_o impose_v upon_o we_o without_o
