and_o here_o before_o i_o enter_v upon_o this_o argument_n i_o think_v it_o may_v not_o be_v inconvenient_a to_o declare_v that_o i_o do_v it_o not_o for_o argument_n sake_n only_o i_o will_v have_v

not_o forbid_v they_o to_o receive_v child_n they_o must_v needs_o baptise_v they_o also_o 5._o it_o be_v very_o probable_a if_o not_o positive_o certain_a from_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o the_o apostle_n do_v baptise_v infant_n 6._o as_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o first_o christian_n do_v so_o and_o the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v continue_v to_o do_v it_o in_o all_o
