ye are not ignorant with what solemn professions and vows men are admitted and received into the Church of Christ yet that ye may know what further satisfaction to the Christian world is justly expected from them who live so long in obstinacy and infidelity I will here add that Renunciation of my former errours and that profession of my belief which I made in the presence of divers honourable persons and a great multitude of witnesses according to the questions proposed unto me immediately before my Baptism Q. What is your desire A.
