baptism_n as_o it_o be_v by_o a_o antedate_a pardon_n be_v dangerous_a no_o no_o we_o may_v not_o say_v so_o what_o be_v pass_v before_o baptism_n be_v pardon_v and_o mortify_v viz._n original_a sin_n

must_v daily_o be_v make_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o faith_n if_o we_o desire_v daily_o pardon_v hence_o we_o be_v teach_v in_o the_o five_o petition_n to_o pray_v for_o our_o daily_a pardon_n wherein_o doubtless_o we_o pray_v for_o what_o we_o want_v and_o not_o for_o what_o we_o have_v already_o yet_o because_o this_o remedy_n be_v not_o the_o novo_fw-la give_v every_o day_n but_o once_o for_o

give_v we_o of_o his_o spirit_n it_o be_v then_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v the_o immediate_a worker_n of_o this_o mutual_a union_n betwixt_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n but_o further_a will_v we_o know_v how_o and_o by_o what_o ordinance_n the_o spirit_n do_v work_v this_o union_n the_o apostle_n paul_n help_v we_o say_v by_o one_o spirit_n be_v we_o all_o baptise_a into_o one_o body_n 12.13_o and_o have_v be_v all_o make_v to_o drink_v into_o one_o spirit_n thus_o plain_o manifest_v the_o sacrament_n to_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o work_v this_o union_n and_o

and_o strengthen_v the_o body_n psal._n 104.15_o hence_o that_o phrase_n the_o staff_n of_o bread_n because_o as_o a_o staff_n do_v uphold_v and_o strengthen_v the_o weak_a and_o feeble_a knee_n so_o do_v bread_n strengthen_v the_o droop_a spirit_n so_o do_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n well_o and_o worthy_o receive_v strengthen_v the_o soul_n in_o grace_n and_o holiness_n wine_n cheer_v the_o

that_o natural_a quality_n which_o god_n have_v place_v in_o the_o element_n to_o work_v upon_o the_o body_n do_v most_o excellent_o manifest_v that_o spiritual_a efficacy_n which_o be_v in_o the_o
