thorough_a conformity_n to_o a_o few_o humorous_a and_o caprioious_a ceremony_n in_o the_o 15_o of_o st._n matth._n and_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o chapter_n you_o find_v the_o scribe_n and_o

who_o have_v rather_o mix_v heaven_n and_o earth_n together_o and_o hazard_v the_o consusion_n of_o church_n nay_o and_o state_n too_o than_o part_n with_o a_o dry_a and_o empty_a ceremony_n what_o if_o i_o shall_v instance_n but_o in_o christen_n with_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n i_o doubt_v i_o be_o not_o uncharitable_a in_o think_v that_o many_o even_o of_o we_o protestant_a minister_n will_v rather_o never_o christen_v a_o child_n at_o all_o than_o to_o christen_v it_o without_o that_o ceremony_n though_o they_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o christen_n be_v a_o divine_a command_n and_o the_o sign_v with_o the_o cross_n be_v but_o a_o humane_a and_o that_o the_o child_n be_v never_o the_o better_a for_o it_o nor_o never_o the_o worse_o without_o it_o as_o for_o they_o indeed_o that_o do_v think_v that_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n have_v some_o magical_a virtue_n in_o it_o that_o it_o be_v a_o spiritual_a spell_n to_o drive_v away_o spirit_n and_o hobgoblin_n and_o a_o good_a
