now_o if_o this_o be_v true_a as_o the_o jewish_a record_n do_v inform_v we_o and_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o doubt_v of_o it_o may_v seem_v less_o strange_a that_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n

it_o than_o what_o be_v do_v before_o it_o seem_v probable_a that_o our_o saviour_n ground_v his_o reproof_n of_o nicodemus_n upon_o his_o ignorance_n of_o the_o custom_n of_o his_o own_o nation_n and_o the_o sense_n that_o they_o put_v upon_o it_o john_n 3.10_o be_v thou_o a_o master_n of_o israel_n and_o know_v not_o these_o thing_n for_o that_o may_v well_o seem_v very_o strange_a that_o a_o

the_o manner_n before_o among_o the_o jew_n to_o receive_v the_o infant_n of_o proselyte_n as_o well_o as_o grow_v person_n into_o the_o jewish_a church_n by_o this_o ceremony_n of_o baptism_n unless_o our_o saviour_n have_v prohibit_v the_o same_o to_o they_o how_o can_v the_o apostle_n otherwise_o understand_v but_o when_o our_o saviour_n order_v they_o by_o this_o ceremony_n to_o admit_v
