parallel_n betwixt_o what_o their_o confession_n say_v and_o what_o as_o he_o word_n it_o i_o make_v they_o to_o say_v and_o so_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o reader_n to_o judge_n how_o fair_o i_o have_v

and_o it_o will_v have_v hurt_v his_o parallel_n if_o it_o have_v be_v set_v down_o in_o their_o ancient_a confession_n artic._n 11._o we_o esteem_v for_o a_o abomination_n and_o antichristian_a all_o

without_o faith_n and_o truth_n i_o have_v also_o set_v down_o every_o word_n of_o this_o and_o make_v this_o paraphrase_n on_o it_o in_o my_o answer_n this_o be_v a_o good_a testimony_n against_o

that_o thereby_o regeneration_n must_v be_v have_v the_o word_n be_v baptism_n and_o regeneration_n must_v be_v have_v i_o leave_v out_o baptism_n because_o it_o seem_v to_o make_v it_o nonsense_n

upon_o this_o article_n i_o have_v thus_o paraphrase_a in_o my_o answer_n here_o at_o last_o by_o good_a hap_n we_o have_v the_o word_n child_n name_v but_o not_o a_o jot_n serve_v mr._n danvers_n

mention_v that_o baptism_n confer_v grace_n ex_fw-la opere_fw-la operato_fw-la and_o because_o the_o waldenses_n do_v deny_v that_o it_o do_v thus_o conser_fw-fr grace_n the_o papist_n do_v accuse_v

they_o charge_v they_o with_o deny_v insant-baptism_n this_o be_v the_o judgement_n of_o bishop_n usher_n in_o his_o succession_n of_o the_o church_n where_o he_o treat_v of_o the_o waldenses_n and_o
