when_o they_o have_v attain_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o that_o which_o they_o be_v in_o their_o baptism_n bind_v unto_o to_o have_v hand_n lay_v upon_o they_o by_o such_o as_o have_v power_n commit_v unto_o they_o to_o bless_v they_o as_o the_o apostle_n have_v that_o they_o may_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n and_o sanctification_n as_o actual_a believer_n as_o be_v baptize_v and_o have_v the_o apostle_n hand_n lay_v upon_o they_o receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o speak_v with_o tongue_n as_o be_v to_o be_v see_v special_o act_v 8._o where_o the_o samaritan_n who_o believe_v be_v baptize_v by_o philip_n when_o peter_n be_v come_v and_o lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o they_o receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o philip_n have_v not_o commission_n thus_o to_o do_v and_o as_o be_v say_v before_o bishop_n be_v the_o apostle_n successor_n and_o therefore_o to_o they_o only_o it_o seem_v that_o this_o power_n be_v give_v and_o that_o they_o ought_v to_o go_v about_o in_o their_o limit_n to_o do_v this_o office_n and_o herein_o the_o apostle_n have_v christ_n for_o their_o example_n to_o who_o little_a child_n be_v bring_v and_o he_o bless_v they_o and_o require_v that_o it_o shall_v so_o be_v do_v say_v suffer_v little_a child_n to_o come_v unto_o i_o and_o forbid_v they_o not_o etc._n etc._n as_o be_v of_o avail_n towards_o the_o attain_v of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v touch_v christ_n blessing_n of_o little_a child_n although_o they_o be_v not_o then_o intelligent_a enough_o to_o believe_v actual_o but_o the_o bishop_n blessing_n be_v to_o be_v after_o some_o knowledge_n attain_v unto_o as_o the_o apostle_n lay_v on_o of_o hand_n be_v not_o but_o upon_o they_o that_o have_v knowledge_n and_o do_v prosess_v the_o true_a faith_n wherefore_o the_o ordinance_n of_o conformation_n be_v not_o to_o be_v disallow_v but_o not_o to_o be_v extol_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n as_o a_o sacrament_n and_o that_o not_o inferior_a to_o baptism_n and_o as_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v grant_v to_o be_v very_o necessary_a because_o a_o necessity_n be_v hereby_o put_v upon_o parent_n to_o teach_v their_o child_n betimes_o the_o ten_o commandment_n the_o creed_n and_o the_o lord_n prayer_n etc._n etc._n and_o to_o cause_v they_o to_o come_v to_o

about_o they_o in_o their_o baptism_n perfect_v whereas_o if_o this_o ordinance_n of_o conformation_n by_o imposition_n of_o hand_n and_o pray_v be_v neglect_v neither_o will_v parent_n who_o be_v ignorant_a themselves_o or_o be_v not_o thus_o bring_v up_o have_v any_o care_n of_o teach_v or_o get_v their_o child_n teach_v these_o thing_n as_o by_o long_a experience_n have_v prove_v too_o true_a and_o so_o many_o by_o baptism_n receive_v in_o their_o infancy_n to_o be_v christian_n be_v for_o ignorance_n of_o the_o christian_a principle_n like_o heathen_n differ_v only_o from_o they_o in_o this_o that_o they_o have_v be_v baptize_v which_o when_o they_o be_v grow_v up_o will_v avail_v they_o no_o more_o to_o salvation_n than_o circumcision_n in_o the_o flesh_n do_v the_o jew_n that_o be_v without_o the_o circumcision_n of_o the_o spirit_n wherefore_o let_v this_o most_o ancient_a custom_n of_o the_o church_n be_v again_o revive_v and_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o
