their_o practice_n can_v be_v our_o bind_a precedent_n nor_o our_o literal_a variation_n a_o moral_a violation_n of_o their_o order_n see_v we_o then_o whether_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o primitive_a

to_o we_o why_o they_o shall_v be_v admit_v to_o communion_n the_o reason_n of_o admit_v such_o and_o such_o only_a as_o they_o do_v to_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n must_v needs_o be_v their_o appearance_n to_o be_v saint_n the_o saintly_o qualification_n of_o the_o person_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o adequate_a reason_n of_o his_o admission_n to_o saint_n communion_n when_o those_o in_o

their_o communion_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n be_v because_o they_o have_v reason_n to_o esteem_v such_o and_o only_o such_o for_o saint_n any_o man_n that_o shall_v then_o have_v refuse_v

it_o be_v now_o in_o like_a case_n where_o the_o want_n of_o a_o regular_a baptism_n now_o be_v as_o much_o a_o argument_n of_o no_o grace_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o primitive_a time_n there_o it_o

to_o wit_n saintship_n must_v needs_o have_v a_o right_n to_o the_o communion_n itself_o if_o baptism_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n be_v a_o reason_n subordinate_o of_o communion_n as_o it_o be_v

otherwise_o both_o in_o do_v and_o suffer_v for_o he_o but_o mere_o from_o want_n of_o light_n in_o the_o thing_n they_o profess_v and_o i_o believe_v in_o good_a earnest_n that_o if_o they_o do_v

to_o the_o passeover_n that_o relation_n which_o circumcision_n do_v bear_v to_o the_o passeover_n as_o to_o make_v the_o former_a a_o necessary_a qualification_n in_o a_o person_n for_o the_o
