be_v at_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n so_o every_o infant_n that_o be_v baptize_v be_v the_o child_n of_o christ._n and_o it_o be_v a_o special_a thing_n that_o we_o shall_v meditate_v of_o we_o

they_o will_v consider_v what_o it_o minister_v to_o they_o upon_o all_o ocasion_n they_o will_v be_v far_o better_a christian_n than_o they_o be_v baptism_n think_v of_o thy_o baptism_n when_o thou_o

i_o by_o thy_o grace_n thou_o borough_n test_n i_o into_o the_o covenant_n before_o i_o know_v my_o right_a hand_n from_o my_o left_a so_o when_o we_o go_v to_o church_n to_o offer_v our_o service_n to_o god_n think_v by_o baptism_n we_o be_v consecrate_v and_o dedicate_v to_o god_n we_o not_o only_o receive_v grace_n from_o god_n but_o we_o give_v ourselves_o too_o god_n therefore_o it_o be_v

of_o that_o uncircumcised_a unbaptise_v damn_a spirit_n the_o think_v of_o our_o baptism_n thus_o will_v help_v we_o to_o resist_v the_o devil_n he_o be_v a_o coward_n if_o he_o be_v resist_v he_o

it_o be_v a_o strange_a manner_n of_o cure_n for_o god_n to_o cure_v by_o his_o word_n by_o his_o command_n it_o show_v that_o god_n have_v a_o universal_a command_n of_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o
