there_o be_v as_o great_a a_o fault_n as_o this_o because_o they_o do_v not_o so_o much_o intend_v to_o defend_v the_o lawful_a use_n of_o baptism_n as_o to_o defend_v their_o master_n cause_n that_o

they_o go_v about_o either_o to_o make_v christ_n inferior_a to_o john_n or_o to_o make_v he_o bind_v to_o john_n because_o he_o receive_v honour_n of_o he_o for_o they_o account_v that_o as_o a_o

whereas_o they_o say_v that_o all_o man_n come_v unto_o he_o these_o word_n proceed_v from_o perverse_a emulation_n for_o they_o be_v afraid_a lest_o their_o master_n be_v forsake_v of_o the_o

so_o short_a space_n unto_o so_o great_a honour_n therefore_o in_o vain_a do_v you_o strive_v to_o put_v he_o down_o who_o god_n have_v exalt_v with_o his_o hand_n othersome_a do_v think_v that_o it_o be_v a_o exclamation_n whereinto_o he_o burst_v out_o through_o indignation_n for_o that_o his_o disciple_n have_v so_o little_o profit_v and_o true_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n too_o absurd_a to_o go_v

to_o the_o end_n christ_n may_v the_o more_o deep_o imprint_v the_o doctrine_n of_o love_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o he_o he_o commend_v the_o same_o for_o the_o newness_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o will_v have_v you_o to_o remember_v this_o commandment_n continual_o as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o law_n new_o give_v to_o be_v brief_a we_o see_v that_o christ_n drift_n in_o this_o place_n be_v to_o

amongst_o christ_n his_o disciple_n love_n seek_v a_o cause_n in_o god_n she_o have_v her_o root_n thence_o and_o thither_o be_v it_o refer_v so_o that_o the_o more_o it_o know_v every_o man_n to_o
