mat._n 28._o 19_o you_o say_v christ_n command_v his_o disciple_n and_o in_o they_o all_o minister_n successive_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n to_o go_v and_o baptize_v nation_n you_o say_v child_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o nation_n therefore_o they_o be_v command_v to_o be_v baptize_v but_o there_o be_v as_o you_o afterward_o confess_v a_o discipling_n first_o disciple_n nation_n baptise_v they_o and_o here_o be_v no_o command_n for_o infant-baptism_n but_o for_o the_o baptism_n of_o disciple_n you_o pretend_v to_o put_v off_o this_o with_o the_o dangerousness_n of_o build_v argument_n on_o the_o bare_a place_n of_o word_n in_o scripture_n you_o produce_v repentance_n and_o judas_n sop_n repentance_n sometime_o place_v before_o faith_n yet_o we_o know_v it_o be_v a_o fruit_n of_o faith_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v such_o a_o fruit_n of_o faith_n as_o be_v individual_a and_o upon_o a_o right_a understanding_n repentance_n may_v as_o well_o be_v say_v to_o go_v before_o as_o to_o follow_v after_o for_o it_o be_v a_o change_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o i_o query_n whether_o any_o man_n do_v ever_o believe_v or_o can_v believe_v before_o his_o mind_n be_v change_v its_o

the_o mind_n which_o produce_v a_o change_n of_o the_o conversation_n as_o for_o the_o sop_n neither_o matthew_n nor_o mark_n say_v that_o judas_n receive_v it_o before_o the_o sacrament_n matthew_n

no_o contradiction_n but_o rather_o a_o clear_a explanation_n and_o whereas_o you_o say_v you_o will_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o place_v word_n easy_o prove_v baptism_n to_o be_v before_o preach_v mark_v 1._o 4._o john_n do_v baptize_v in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o preach_v etc._n etc._n here_o baptism_n be_v set_v before_o preach_v say_v you_o etc._n etc._n but_o this_o be_v answer_v and_o

5_o 6._o they_o be_v baptize_v of_o he_o in_o jordan_n and_o this_o be_v according_a to_o the_o analogy_n of_o scripture_n preach_v disciple_a believe_a confess_v of_o sin_n repent_v before_o

last_o you_o may_v upon_o this_o very_a account_n turn_v out_o and_o contradict_v all_o the_o most_o precious_a truth_n of_o god_n in_o scripture_n and_o this_o very_a thing_n strike_v at_o it_o for_o the_o reason_n why_o teach_v discipling_n and_o faith_n be_v to_o precede_v baptism_n be_v evident_a that_o it_o be_v because_o its_o christ_n appointment_n and_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n that_o
