then_o you_o must_v suppose_v that_o christ_n have_v require_v some_o of_o his_o minister_n to_o baptise_v infant_n mr._n leigh_n we_o distinguish_v between_o consequential_a truth_n and_o express_v

russel_n i_o think_v i_o express_v myself_o plain_o enough_o when_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o if_o you_o prove_v it_o any_o way_n require_v i_o will_v allow_v it_o mr._n robinson_n their_o moderator_n

christ_n commission_n which_o be_v the_o thing_n in_o question_n between_o we_o mr._n chandler_n what_o from_o the_o commission_n mr._n robinson_n the_o moderator_n cry_v out_o to_o mr._n chandler_n
