you_o have_v do_v fight_v with_o the_o papist_n that_o we_o be_v agree_v about_o they_o two_o to_o be_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o baptism_n i_o can_v tell_v you_o that_o the_o apostle_n here_o write_v to_o the_o hebrew_n allude_v to_o their_o old_a legal_a wash_n ablution_n and_o baptism_n mind_v they_o of_o then_n but_o wish_v they_o withal_o to_o lay_v they_o by_o and_o mind_n the_o one_o

which_o be_v the_o wash_n of_o the_o flesh_n with_o water_n by_o the_o minister_n and_o there_o be_v a_o inward_a baptism_n which_o be_v wash_v of_o the_o soul_n with_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n these_o be_v baptism_n indeed_o and_o here_o mean_v but_o in_o all_o god_n true_a child_n they_o meet_v in_o one_o baptism_n and_o they_o come_v from_o god_n as_o one_o baptism_n entire_o make_v up_o of_o these_o two_o sort_n the_o outward_a and_o inward_a for_o that_o baptism_n which_o be_v of_o blood_n mention_v by_o christ_n and_o mention_v to_o his_o two_o

20.22_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o constant_a suffering_n and_o conflict_v in_o christ_n cause_n even_o unto_o blood_n and_o the_o suffering_n of_o martyrdom_n for_o his_o sake_n but_o i_o will_v

these_o therefore_o be_v call_v day_n of_o baptism_n as_o appear_v out_o of_o the_o writing_n of_o the_o ancient_a both_o greek_n and_o latin_n so_o still_o it_o be_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o
