baptise_v any_o but_o intentional_o for_o the_o present_a remission_n of_o sin_n but_o the_o former_a be_v true_a therefore_o so_o be_v the_o late_a i_o say_v intentional_o in_o contradistinction_n

be_v the_o end_n which_o he_o require_v the_o minister_n and_o people_n to_o use_v they_o for_o and_o so_o it_o be_v our_o intention_n principal_o that_o i_o mention_v as_o the_o gospel_n itself_o be_v say_v to_o be_v intentional_o to_o save_v man_n and_o though_o it_o condemn_v most_o that_o be_v beside_o the_o first_o intention_n and_o but_o by_o accident_n and_o though_o this_o be_v principal_o to_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o prae-imposed_a intention_n of_o their_o conversion_n and_o salvation_n yet_o christ_n be_v please_v in_o the_o word_n to_o ascribe_v such_o intention_n to_o himself_o as_o attain_v not_o their_o end_n as_o profess_v that_o he_o come_v not_o into_o the_o world_n to_o condemn_v the_o world_n but_o that_o the_o world_n through_o he_o may_v be_v save_v that_o be_v to_o condemn_v they_o be_v not_o his_o direct_a principal_a intent_n but_o only_o on_o supposition_n of_o their_o wilful_a final_a reject_n of_o he_o and_o thus_o he_o speak_v partly_o in_o the_o
