in_o this_o world_n for_o a_o christian_a man_n but_o those_o trouble_n be_v short_a transitory_a and_o of_o no_o continuance_n against_o all_o these_o thing_n the_o word_n teach_v i_o that_o here_o

of_o god_n that_o we_o shall_v geve_v credence_n to_o the_o word_n of_o man_n when_o they_o according_a to_o christ_n word_n and_o commandment_n use_v their_o ministration_n and_o office_n for_o these_o be_v not_o the_o word_n of_o man_n but_o of_o god_n wherefore_o these_o word_n be_v to_o be_v beleve_v constant_o and_o not_o to_o be_v despise_v when_o the_o minister_n baptise_v a_o child_n accord_v to_o christ_n commandment_n there_o thou_o hear_v the_o word_n pronounce_v of_o a_o man_n 20._o but_o they_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n neither_o must_v thou_o take_v they_o any_o otherwise_o then_o if_o god_n have_v pronounce_v theym_a himself_o so_o whenne_v thy_o sin_n be_v forgeven_v thou_o in_o absolution_n thou_o may_v no_o more_o doubt_n then_o if_o god_n have_v speak_v theym_a himself_o for_o god_n himself_o pronounce_v this_o sentence_n that_o thy_o sin_n may_v be_v forgeven_v thou_o wherefore_o learn_v in_o this_o place_n the_o way_n how_o to_o answer_v these_o

be_v join_v with_o such_o water_n wherefore_o it_o be_v no_o long_o pure_a water_n but_o divine_a water_n which_o the_o minister_n geve_v not_o of_o himself_o but_o god_n command_v it_o so_o to_o be_v give_v to_o the_o intent_n that_o by_o it_o we_o may_v have_v a_o new_a birth_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o remyssion_n of_o all_o our_o sin_n and_o as_o god_n gevethe_v the_o word_n which_o be_v he_o and_o not_o we_o so_o do_v he_o geve_v also_o faith_n unto_o the_o word_n for_o both_o of_o they_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n faith_n and_o the_o word_n
