that_o i_o will_v allow_v they_o to_o make_v use_n of_o it_o be_v very_o observable_a that_o if_o they_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n that_o way_n it_o be_v yet_o to_o be_v do_v for_o they_o do_v not_o

follow_v to_o back_o that_o instance_n of_o mr._n williams_n about_o the_o virgin_n mary_n and_o our_o saviour_n in_o answer_n to_o mr._n leigh_n demand_v namely_o to_o give_v he_o a_o instance_n of_o

we_o have_v also_o think_v fit_a to_o acquaint_v you_o with_o the_o person_n and_o his_o name_n who_o be_v baptise_a by_o the_o presbyterian_o at_o gosport_n which_o be_v as_o follow_v it_o be_v mr._n

that_o proceed_v of_o they_o now_o by_o this_o action_n of_o they_o if_o they_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v according_a to_o the_o commission_n than_o they_o justify_v our_o practice_n if_o they_o do_v it_o for_o any_o by-end_n without_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v according_a to_o god_n word_n than_o as_o mr._n calvin_n say_v the_o whole_a action_n be_v but_o a_o sport_n now_o that_o mr._n chandler_n can_v have_v no_o other_o thought_n of_o it_o do_v evident_o appear_v from_o his_o own_o word_n for_o in_o his_o sermon_n preachd_v at_o portsmouth_n nou._n 10._o 1698._o he_o say_v it_o be_v not_o likely_a that_o that_o god_n that_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o not_o sacrifice_n will_v institute_v a_o ordinance_n so_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o body_n of_o man_n and_o that_o it_o be_v very_o unlikely_a that_o dip_v which_o whenever_o it_o be_v mention_v be_v use_v as_o a_o token_n of_o god_n vengeance_n shall_v in_o this_o sacrament_n be_v use_v as_o a_o token_n of_o his_o mercy_n where_o you_o read_v of_o dip_v you_o find_v it_o mention_v in_o a_o way_n of_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n thus_o the_o old_a world_n be_v dip_v and_o drown_v for_o their_o sin_n god_n vengeance_n follow_v they_o and_o they_o sink_v as_o lead_v in_o the_o mighty_a water_n thus_o the_o egyptian_n be_v dip_v and_o drown_v in_o the_o red_a sea_n thus_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v come_v down_o from_o heaven_n to_o render_v vengeance_n on_o his_o adversary_n clothe_v with_o garment_n dip_v in_o blood_n rev._n 19_o 13._o here_o mr._n chandler_n have_v render_v that_o word_n dip_v to_o inveigh_v and_o ridicule_n our_o practice_n of_o dip_v although_o he_o can_v object_v against_o it_o when_o i_o give_v it_o for_o a_o instance_n but_o he_o go_v on_o say_v you_o find_v still_o dip_v represent_v in_o scripture_n god_n vengeance_n and_o displeasure_n and_o so_o i_o say_v it_o be_v very_o unlikely_a that_o what_o be_v always_o use_v as_o a_o token_n of_o his_o displeasure_n shall_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v use_v as_o a_o token_n of_o mercy_n so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o dip_v be_v use_v in_o baptism_n to_o which_o i_o give_v this_o for_o answer_n 1._o if_o it_o be_v so_o as_o he_o say_v than_o it_o be_v altogether_o unnecessary_a that_o mr._n erle_n by_o his_o consent_n shall_v dip_v mr._n fox_n whole_a body_n under_o the_o water_n 2._o that_o it_o be_v not_o do_v in_o mercy_n to_o he_o thus_o to_o baptise_v he_o but_o in_o vengeance_n and_o as_o a_o token_n of_o god_n displeasure_n 3._o that_o the_o baptism_n practise_v by_o john_n the_o dipper_n and_o that_o of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n be_v not_o a_o ordinance_n institute_v of_o god_n in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n but_o appoint_v for_o the_o people_n in_o a_o way_n of_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n for_o i_o have_v give_v he_o a_o cloud_n of_o witness_n that_o they_o do_v administer_v it_o by_o dip_v the_o whole_a body_n under_o the_o water_n 4._o by_o this_o he_o do_v condemn_v and_o ridicule_n all_o those_o learned_a protestant_n i_o have_v mention_v with_o many_o other_o that_o may_v be_v name_v and_o the_o divine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o well_o as_o we_o who_o appoint_v dip_v as_o the_o best_a way_n of_o baptise_v and_o sprinkle_v only_o in_o case_n of_o weakness_n and_o be_v use_v by_o they_o former_o as_o their_o frequent_a practice_n and_o be_v assert_v by_o some_o of_o their_o great_a divine_n to_o be_v the_o old_a and_o best_a way_n of_o baptise_v and_o be_v to_o this_o day_n the_o constant_a practice_n of_o the_o greek_a church_n i_o be_o also_o well_o assure_v from_o some_o other_o hand_n that_o upon_o the_o 25_o of_o febr._n last_o a_o few_o day_n after_o the_o dispute_n mr._n leigh_n say_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o divers_a person_n that_o to_o satisfy_v a_o scrupulous_a conscience_n he_o will_v administer_v baptism_n by_o dip_v whereupon_o mr._n williams_n ask_v he_o if_o he_o will_v do_v it_o to_o answer_v a_o scrupulous_a conscience_n without_o god_n word_n and_o he_o answer_v no._n and_o i_o have_v reason_n to_o conclude_v that_o mr._n leigh_n may_v believe_v that_o dip_v be_v the_o right_a
