first_o thus_o he_o shuffle_v and_o then_o his_o last_o question_n be_v whether_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v not_o a_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n bind_v we_o this_o question_v we_o get_v not_o to_o to_o discuss_v nor_o do_v he_o explain_v what_o he_o mean_v by_o the_o lord_n supper_n howbeit_o he_o have_v tell_v g._n w._n in_o a_o paper_n that_o this_o light_n within_o do_v not_o dictate_v that_o baptism_n by_o water_n be_v god_n will_n nor_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o celebrate_v the_o lord_n supper_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o you_o the_o hearer_n and_o follower_n of_o this_o s._n s._n

must_v not_o follow_v priest_n s._n s._n his_o darkness_n for_o our_o dictator_n or_o guide_n second_o if_o sprinkle_v infant_n be_v a_o part_n of_o his_o trade_n in_o house_n and_o corner_n you_o may_v understand_v that_o the_o light_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v not_o dictate_v it_o unto_o he_o and_o therefore_o you_o will_v be_v exceed_o blind_a and_o dark_a if_o you_o give_v
