you_o unanswered_a and_o stand_v by_o my_o argument_n conclude_v that_o if_o law_n and_o ordinance_n of_o old_a have_v be_v break_v and_o the_o breach_n of_o they_o bear_v with_o when_o yet_o the_o

we_o have_v communion_n church-communion_n when_o no_o law_n of_o god_n be_v transgress_v thereby_o and_o note_v that_o all_o this_o while_n i_o plead_v not_o as_o you_o for_o person_n unprepared_a

pag._n 29._o my_o argument_n be_v this_o therefore_o i_o be_o for_o communion_n thus_o because_o love_n which_o above_o all_o thing_n we_o be_v command_v to_o put_v on_o be_v of_o much_o more_o worth_a than_o to_o break_v about_o baptism_n and_o let_v the_o reader_n note_n that_o of_o this_o argument_n you_o deny_v not_o so_o much_o as_o one_o syllable_n but_o run_v to_o another_o story_n but_o i_o will_v follow_v you_o i_o add_v further_o that_o love_n be_v more_o discover_v when_o we_o receive_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o christ_n than_o when_o we_o refuse_v his_o child_n for_o want_n of_o water_n and_o tell_v you_o again_o that_o this_o exhortation_n to_o love_n be_v ground_v not_o upon_o baptism_n but_o the_o put_n on_o of_o the_o new_a creature_n which_o have_v swallow_v up_o all_o distinction_n col._n 3._o 9_o 14_o yea_o there_o be_v ten_o argument_n in_o this_o one_o which_o you_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o touch_v but_o thus_o object_n that_o man_n that_o make_v affection_n the_o rule_n of_o his_o walk_n rather_o than_o judgement_n it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o he_o go_v out_o of_o the_o way_n answ._n love_n to_o they_o we_o be_v persuade_v that_o god_n have_v

argument_n therefore_o have_v forestall_v all_o your_o noise_n and_o stand_v still_o on_o its_o leg_n against_o you_o as_o to_o the_o duty_n of_o piety_n and_o charity_n you_o boast_v of_o pag._n 30._o find_v not_o a_o trumpet_n tell_v not_o your_o left_a hand_n of_o it_o we_o be_v talk_v now_o of_o communion_n of_o saint_n church-communion_n and_o i_o plead_v that_o to_o love_n and_o hold_v together_o as_o such_o be_v better_a than_o to_o break_v in_o piece_n for_o want_n of_o water-baptism_n my_o reason_n be_v because_o we_o be_v exhort_v in_o all_o thing_n to_o put_v on_o love_n the_o love_n of_o church-communion_n contrariwise_o you_o oppose_v above_o all_o thing_n put_v on_o water_n for_o the_o best_a saint_n under_o heaven_n that_o have_v not_o that_o with_o he_o you_o refuse_v communion_n thus_o you_o make_v baptism_n though_o no_o church-ordinance_n a_o bar_n to_o shut_v out_o the_o godly_a and_o a_o trap-door_n to_o let_v the_o unprepared_a into_o church_n to_o the_o
