two_o sense_n first_o and_o that_o very_o frequent_o for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n into_o which_o kingdom_n there_o be_v no_o entrance_n but_o by_o the_o door_n of_o baptism_n and_o with_o

of_o the_o place_n be_v this_o except_o a_o man_n be_v baptize_v he_o can_v be_v a_o christian_n or_o a_o member_n of_o my_o kingdom_n second_o for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n if_o baptism_n be_v

do_v all_o such_o certain_o and_o eternal_o perish_v for_o want_n of_o this_o sacrament_n many_o christian_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n that_o have_v embrace_v the_o faith_n of_o christ_n die_v before_o they_o can_v have_v the_o opportunity_n of_o baptism_n which_o as_o ecclesiastical_a writer_n tell_v we_o be_v in_o those_o age_n administer_v but_o at_o certain_a time_n in_o the_o year_n
