be_v ground_v upon_o a_o false_a presupposition_n answer_n the_o answer_n it_o presuppose_v that_o the_o priest_n or_o minister_n shall_v work_v all_o that_o be_v do_v in_o the_o consecration_n and_o that_o be_v very_o false_a for_o gentyl_o reader_n thou_o shall_v understande_v that_o the_o priest_n do_v no_o more_o here_o than_o he_o do_v in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n and_o therefore_o i_o may_v make_v a_o like_a reason_n or_o argument_n and_o prove_v that_o the_o priest_n be_v christ_n thus_o he_o that_o baptyse_v as_o saint_n johan_n say_v in_o the_o water_n and_o gyve_v the_o holy_a goost_n that_o same_o be_v christ_n but_o the_o priest_n baptise_v in_o water_n and_o gyve_v the_o holy_a goost_n for_o there_o be_v none_o very_o and_o truelye_o cristine_v but_o the_o same_o

mynister_n to_o gyve_v the_o holy_a gooste_n as_o paul_n do_v also_o to_o tymothe_a and_o tyte._n wherefore_o we_o must_v consider_v what_o and_o how_o much_o the_o priest_n do_v for_o the_o corynthyans_n be_v dysceave_v moche_v a_o like_a about_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptysme_n as_o these_o be_v in_o this_o their_o argument_n against_o the_o sacrament_n for_o as_o these_o ygnorant_a people_n &_o froward_a herytyke_n false_o suppose_v nothing_o to_o be_v wrought_v in_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n above_o the_o power_n and_o the_o fact_n or_o deed_n of_o the_o minister_n so_o do_v these_o corinthian_n ascribe_v all_o the_o virtue_n and_o power_n of_o baptysme_n unto_o their_o baptiste_n or_o minister_n and_o such_o as_o be_v baptize_v of_o the_o more_o worthy_a minister_n

wash_v the_o soul_n of_o he_o who_o the_o priest_n baptyzyth_v why_o then_o you_o will_v say_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o priest_n be_v not_o necessary_a since_o god_n do_v al._n yet_o remember_v
