Occasioned: by Doctour Chamberlen his mistake of her, and the holy scriptures also, by syllogising words, to find out spirituall meanings, when in such cases it is the definition, not the name, by which things are truly knowne.

have_v in_o some_o measure_n or_o other_o wrought_v by_o god_n spirit_n before_o he_o work_v either_o repentance_n or_o remission_n of_o sin_n which_o kind_n of_o faith_n may_v well_o be_v express_v

such_o thing_n as_o be_v reveal_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o mankind_n now_o the_o second_o term_n in_o the_o text_n be_v baptise_v which_o word_n be_v likewise_o of_o divers_a signification_n in_o
