probable_a all_o church_n this_o day_n in_o be_v as_o well_o of_o the_o anabaptist_n as_o of_o the_o pedobaptist_n be_v without_o this_o part_n of_o the_o foundation_n 2._o it_o be_v as_o probable_a

any_o more_o for_o the_o want_n of_o the_o one_o then_o for_o the_o want_n of_o the_o other_o and_o that_o we_o make_v no_o such_o haste_n to_o withdraw_v from_o our_o brethren_n unless_o god_n have_v
