final_o no_o man_n can_v doubt_v unless_o he_o will_v become_v a_o pelagian_n heretic_n but_o that_o infant_n be_v bear_v in_o original_a sin_n therefore_o it_o be_v of_o necessity_n that_o child_n

in_o christ_n and_o that_o of_o themselves_o they_o seek_v and_o desire_v baptism_n before_o it_o can_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v minister_v unto_o they_o because_o the_o scripture_n do_v require_v this_o actual_a faith_n and_o belief_n in_o full_a age_n the_o elder_a sort_n and_o those_o at_o man_n estate_n make_v no_o mention_n of_o child_n therefore_o say_v these_o anabaptist_n that_o child_n
