unto_o the_o guidance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o second_o by_o way_n of_o exception_n 1._o that_o which_o be_v somewhat_o more_o in_o this_o baptism_n be_v that_o they_o be_v baptize_v into_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n now_o this_o be_v the_o intent_n of_o the_o message_n of_o baptism_n viz._n that_o upon_o their_o

then_o in_o the_o second_o place_n it_o follow_v that_o those_o person_n that_o have_v be_v baptize_v upon_o their_o repentance_n be_v enjoin_v by_o way_n of_o consequence_n to_o deliver_v up_o themselves_o into_o
the_o hand_n of_o god_n the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n so_o that_o you_o see_v the_o instance_n of_o moses_n be_v quite_o of_o another_o nature_n for_o they_o be_v not_o baptize_v with_o any_o such_o baptism_n as_o to_o relyeupon_o moses_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n for_o moses_n be_v not_o able_a to_o to_o give_v it_o but_o that_o for_o which_o they_o be_v baptize_v unto_o
