baptism_n be_v institute_v for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o to_o be_v a_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n see_v it_o be_v certain_a by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o mr._n baxter_n

of_o our_o church_n in_o one_o case_n of_o necessity_n when_o child_n be_v like_a to_o die_v show_v that_o they_o approve_v of_o baptism_n without_o either_o godfather_n or_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o
