it_o may_v be_v final_o bring_v forth_o unto_o public_a use_n and_o to_o undergo_v a_o general_a trial._n the_o three_o reason_n be_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o all_o our_o interpreter_n as_o calvin_n and_o those_o of_o the_o year_n 1588._o have_v protest_v in_o their_o preface_n that_o they_o never_o design_v by_o their_o performance_n to_o exclude_v and_o debarr_v any_o of_o their_o successor_n

their_o person_n we_o shall_v be_v afraid_a to_o enterprise_v any_o such_o matter_n after_o they_o my_o four_o reason_n be_v this_o that_o we_o be_v now_o necessitate_v to_o use_v this_o liberty_n because_o of_o the_o great_a change_n which_o have_v fall_v out_o in_o our_o vulgar_a language_n by_o mean_n whereof_o such_o word_n term_n and_o phrase_n as_o be_v seemly_a and_o sound_v well_o in_o

profaneness_n we_o have_v experience_v enough_o of_o this_o in_o the_o moveableness_n of_o the_o french_a tongue_n a_o five_o reason_n be_v this_o that_o every_o interpreter_n who_o explain_v a_o strange_a author_n by_o annotation_n or_o commentation_n have_v this_o privilege_n to_o translate_v the_o letter_n of_o the_o text_n according_a to_o the_o sense_n he_o have_v conceive_v and_o which_o

abominable_a my_o six_o be_v this_o forasmuch_o as_o in_o all_o time_n and_o language_n there_o have_v be_v translation_n of_o the_o bible_n for_o public_a use_n authorize_v by_o the_o common_a

no_o few_o than_o six_o or_o eight_o which_o have_v be_v compile_v and_o collect_v into_o one_o body_n by_o the_o industrious_a origen_n the_o present_a romish_a church_n have_v canonize_v the_o

that_o which_o we_o condemn_v in_o other_o to_z lord_z it_o absolute_o over_o their_o mind_n and_o conscience_n the_o evangelical_n church_n in_o germany_n without_o distinction_n of_o lutheran_n or_o

this_o may_v be_v note_v against_o those_o who_o sleep_n in_o this_o pernicious_a error_n that_o in_o case_n any_o translation_n do_v but_o give_v out_o all_o our_o doctrine_n in_o their_o full_a

ought_v to_o be_v bring_v into_o the_o church_n of_o god_n there_o to_o be_v baptize_v for_o to_o separate_v the_o ministration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n from_o the_o pastor_n office_n it_o be_v as_o

for_o when_o we_o reform_v what_o have_v be_v do_v amiss_o in_o this_o ordinance_n we_o do_v not_o confine_v god_n virtue_n unto_o the_o water_n for_o we_o hold_v that_o this_o be_v a_o counterfeit_n baptism_n a_o mere_a mockery_n a_o profanation_n of_o the_o sacrament_n to_o who_o first_o institution_n we_o must_v keep_v strict_o beside_o such_o language_n as_o this_o be_v very_o improper_a we_o do_v not_o reiterate_v baptism_n for_o the_o pretend_a baptism_n be_v utter_o unlawful_a yea_o whole_o null_a as_o for_o example_n if_o you_o give_v a_o child_n a_o draught_n of_o salt_n or_o puddle_a water_n you_o do_v not_o give_v he_o again_o drink_v immediate_o upon_o it_o but_o if_o you_o give_v he_o a_o empty_a bottle_n and_o he_o suck_v nothing_o out_o of_o it_o but_o wind_n you_o will_v repair_v this_o fault_n by_o give_v he_o drink_v in_o earnest_n moreover_o those_o expression_n of_o he_o of_o throw_v water_n or_o plunge_v be_v affect_v and_o make_v use_v of_o by_o he_o to_o degrade_v the_o usage_n and_o utility_n of_o baptism_n and_o we_o can_v wish_v that_o in_o handle_v of_o such_o question_n man_n be_v more_o serious_a and_o sober_a in_o short_a either_o baptism_n be_v unprofitable_a and_o appoint_v to_o no_o purpose_n or_o else_o it_o must_v be_v observe_v according_a to_o its_o primitive_a institution_n to_o be_v a_o seal_n of_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n article_n vi_o his_o four_o argument_n be_v altogether_o frivolous_a we_o know_v god_n bethanked_n that_o our_o spiritual_a wash_v be_v in_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n and_o not_o from_o the_o baptismal_a water_n and_o he_o may_v have_v spare_v his_o pain_n in_o muster_v up_o such_o a_o number_n of_o text_n of_o scripture_n to_o prove_v that_o which_o none_o of_o we_o ever_o doubt_v of_o for_o water_n in_o baptism_n signify_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o effect_n and_o fruit_n thereof_o accomplish_v in_o we_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o though_o the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v no_o respecter_n of_o person_n nor_o do_v the_o validity_n of_o baptism_n depend_v upon_o the_o worthiness_n or_o unworthiness_n of_o the_o minister_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o thence_o follow_v that_o we_o must_v not_o keep_v to_o that_o order_n which_o he_o have_v institute_v yea_o and_o this_o also_o be_v allege_v out_o of_o ignorance_n for_o inasmuch_o as_o all_o our_o dependence_n be_v upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o rule_n and_o standard_n of_o our_o duty_n give_v we_o by_o christ_n himself_o if_o you_o neglect_v and_o slight_v it_o in_o baptism_n and_o let_v one_o administer_v it_o who_o have_v no_o call_n from_o god_n to_o do_v it_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o a_o ape_n as_o he_o that_o have_v no_o commission_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n do_v administer_v it_o article_n vii_o his_o five_o argument_n take_v that_o for_o grant_v which_o will_v never_o be_v yield_v to_o he_o viz._n that_o even_o baptism_n administer_v by_o a_o heretic_n who_o have_v no_o office_n in_o the_o church_n be_v yet_o hold_v for_o true_a baptism_n for_o be_v this_o so_o baptism_n will_v not_o belong_v unto_o the_o church_n but_o also_o to_o turk_n and_o pagan_n so_o that_o whilst_o he_o labour_v by_o such_o sorry_a trifle_a argument_n as_o these_o to_o build_v up_o baptism_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o turn_v
