beginning-principle_n of_o his_o doctrine_n why_o shall_v they_o be_v offend_v at_o we_o for_o have_v a_o equal_a love_n to_o all_o the_o commandment_n of_o christ_n i_o will_v hope_v they_o have_v

we_o must_v say_v again_o against_o what_o be_v mention_v p._n 54._o that_o there_o be_v a_o clear_a precept_n for_o imposition_n of_o hand_n on_o baptize_v believer_n as_o such_o than_o can_v be_v
