1.16_o 17._o and_o baptism_n be_v a_o seal_n of_o these_o promise_n as_o of_o the_o whole_a covenant_n and_o therefore_o baptism_n be_v not_o only_o as_o you_o say_v a_o seal_n to_o faith_n and_o to_o

circumcision_n seal_v to_o abraham_n god_n to_o be_v his_o god_n and_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n both_o which_o be_v already_o come_v to_o abraham_n before_o he_o be_v circumcise_v it_o

of_o that_o blessing_n which_o god_n have_v already_o do_v for_o they_o so_o be_v it_o with_o baptism_n now_o that_o christ_n be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n baptism_n seal_v that_o to_o we_o as_o a_o
