to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v great_a virtue_n and_o efficacy_n in_o baptism_n even_o such_o as_o do_v concern_v our_o reunion_n with_o god_n by_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o sanctification_n of_o our_o soul_n or_o why_o else_o shall_v we_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o also_o that_o all_o that_o virtue_n and_o efficacy_n do_v whole_o depend_v upon_o god_n alone_o in_o who_o name_n only_o we_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v and_o this_o efficacy_n of_o baptism_n be_v more_o full_o express_v by_o saint_n mark_n say_v he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptise_a shall_v be_v

necessary_a to_o salvation_n as_o command_v wash_v and_o it_o be_v most_o probable_a that_o it_o be_v also_o efficacious_a thereunto_o and_o be_v clean_a because_o it_o be_v command_v for_o he_o that_o have_v command_v it_o be_v able_a to_o make_v it_o so_o nay_o rather_o have_v make_v it_o so_o to_o show_v that_o he_o delight_v not_o in_o unnecessary_a or_o unprofitable_a command_n what_o

with_o much_o confidence_n and_o without_o any_o inconveniency_n acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v moreover_o a_o instrumental_a cause_n whereby_o our_o bless_a saviour_n be_v please_v to_o work_v grace_n and_o salvation_n for_o who_o can_v hinder_v the_o first_o cause_n to_o work_v by_o what_o instrument_n he_o please_v and_o sure_o we_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n do_v plain_o ascribe_v unto_o
