the_o substance_n of_o your_o argument_n may_v seem_v to_o be_v first_o touch_v the_o testimony_n of_o saint_n paul_n in_o the_o 1._o to_o the_o corinthian_n the_o 15._o chapter_n before_o mention_v

if_o you_o have_v regard_n to_o the_o natural_a propertye_n of_o baptism_n to_o wit_n matter_n &_o form_n as_o they_o call_v they_o and_o therefore_o howsoever_o it_o please_v the_o new_a divines_n to_o ascribe_v unto_o they_o the_o matter_n of_o a_o sacrament_n yet_o do_v they_o not_o attribute_v unto_o they_o a_o sacrament_n no_o nor_o so_o much_o as_o the_o name_n of_o a_o sacrament_n but_o
