receive_v with_o this_o special_a commendation_n i_o certify_v you_o that_o you_o have_v do_v well_o and_o according_a to_o due_a order_n etc_n etc_n but_o now_o we_o speak_v in_o good_a earnest_n when_o they_o answer_v this_o let_v they_o tell_v we_o how_o this_o gear_n agree_v with_o the_o scripture_n and_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o repugnant_a or_o against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n answer_n of_o private_a baptism_n i_o have_v speak_v before_o here_o be_v nothing_o allege_v against_o it_o but_o the._n 28._o of_o math._n go_v you_o and_o teach_v baptise_v they_o etc_n etc_n which_o text_n do_v prove_v that_o it_o be_v a_o portion_n of_o the_o apostle_n office_n to_o baptise_v but_o in_o what_o place_n at_o what_o time_n how_o many_o at_o once_o be_v not_o there_o prescribe_v and_o therefore_o private_a baptism_n may_v abide_v this_o touchstone_n for_o any_o thing_n that_o i_o see_v to_o the_o contrary_n you_o say_v untrue_o when_o you_o do_v affirm_v that_o teach_v in_o this_o church_n be_v divorce_v from_o communion_n and_o sacrament_n but_o such_o forge_a slanderous_a speech_n be_v usual_a to_o you_o of_o this_o matter_n also_o i_o have_v speak_v in_o the_o former_a part_n you_o say_v woman_n that_o may_v not_o speak_v in_o a_o congregation_n may_v yet_o in_o time_n of_o necessity_n minister_v the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n and_o that_o in_o a_o private_a

may_v not_o in_o time_n of_o necessity_n minister_v baptism_n for_o that_o be_v the_o question_n and_o not_o the_o other_o but_o hereof_o i_o have_v also_o speak_v my_o opinion_n before_o woman_n may_v speak_v in_o the_o congregation_n if_o necessary_a occasion_n do_v require_v as_o master_n caluine_n teach_v in_o his_o institution_n chap._n 13._o secti_fw-la 32._o and_o yet_o you_o say_v this_o be_v not_o to_o tie_v necessity_n of_o salvation_n to_o the_o sacrament_n nor_o to_o nousell_n man_n up_o in_o that_o opinion_n not_o sure_o no_o more_o than_o it_o be_v to_o teach_v that_o child_n ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v and_o not_o to_o tarry_v until_o such_o time_n as_o they_o be_v able_a to_o answer_v for_o themselves_o you_o shall_v have_v prove_v this_o to_o be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o scripture_n because_o you_o say_v it_o be_v and_o therefore_o you_o refuse_v to_o subscribe_v when_o you_o set_v down_o the_o scripture_n to_o the_o which_o it_o repugn_v if_o it_o fall_v out_o so_o in_o deed_n you_o shall_v have_v i_o a_o conformable_a adversary_n i_o will_v say_v with_o saint_n augustine_n errare_fw-la possum_fw-la haereticus_fw-la esse_fw-la nolo_fw-la and_o i_o will_v to_o god_n you_o can_v learn_v that_o lesson_n admonition_n the_o eight_o the_o public_a baptism_n that_o also_o be_v full_a of_o childish_a and_o superstitious_a toy_n first_o in_o their_o

second_o they_o require_v a_o promise_n of_o the_o godfather_n and_o godmother_n as_o they_o term_v they_o which_o be_v not_o in_o 9.16_o their_o power_n to_o perform_v three_o they_o profane_v holy_a baptism_n in_o toy_v foolish_o for_o that_o they_o ask_v question_n of_o a_o infant_n which_o can_v not_o answer_v and_o speak_v unto_o they_o as_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v speak_v unto_o man_n and_o unto_o such_o as_o be_v convert_v answer_v for_o themselves_o and_o be_v baptize_v which_o be_v but_o a_o mockery_n 6.7_o of_o god_n and_o therefore_o against_o the_o holy_a scripture_n four_o they_o do_v superstitious_o and_o wicked_o institute_v a_o new_a sacrament_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o christ_n only_o mark_v the_o child_n in_o the_o forehead_n with_o a_o cross_n in_o token_n that_o hereafter_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v ashamed_a to_o confess_v the_o faith_n of_o christ_n we_o have_v make_v mention_n before_o of_o that_o wicked_a divorce_n of_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n we_o say_v nothing_o of_o those_o that_o be_v admit_v to_o be_v witness_n what_o ill_a choice_n there_o be_v make_v of_o they_o how_o convenient_a it_o be_v see_v the_o child_n of_o the_o faithful_a only_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v that_o the_o father_n shall_v and_o might_n if_o convenient_o offer_v and_o present_v his_o child_n to_o be_v baptize_v make_v a_o open_a confession_n of_o that_o faith_n wherein_o he_o will_v have_v his_o child_n baptize_v and_o how_o this_o be_v use_v in_o well_o order_v church_n answer_n the_o superstitious_a toy_n you_o find_v in_o public_a baptism_n be_v these_o first_o that_o in_o our_o prayer_n we_o say_v that_o god_n by_o the_o baptism_n of_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n do_v sanctify_v the_o flood_n jordan_n and_o all_o other_o water_n to_o the_o mystical_a wash_n away_o of_o sin_n the_o second_o be_v that_o we_o require_v a_o promise_n of_o the_o godfather_n and_o godmother_n which_o be_v not_o in_o their_o power_n to_o perform_v the_o third_o that_o we_o ask_v question_n of_o infant_n which_o can_v not_o answer_v and_o speak_v etc_n etc_n the_o four_o that_o we_o mark_v the_o child_n in_o the_o forehead_n with_o a_o cross_n make_v thereby_o a_o new_a sacrament_n etc_n etc_n the_o five_o that_o we_o make_v a_o evil_a choice_n of_o those_o that_o be_v to_o be_v admit_v witness_n etc_n etc_n by_o the_o first_o you_o say_v that_o we_o attribute_v to_o the_o sign_n that_o which_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o work_n of_o god_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o chryst_n as_o though_o virtue_n be_v in_o water_n to_o wash_v away_o sin_n you_o know_v very_o well_o that_o we_o teach_v far_o otherwise_o and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a and_o true_a doctrine_n of_o all_o such_o as_o do_v profess_v the_o gospel_n that_o the_o outward_a sign_n of_o the_o sacrament_n do_v not_o contain_v in_o they_o grace_n neither_o yet_o that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v of_o necessity_n tie_v unto_o they_o but_o only_o that_o they_o be_v seal_n of_o god_n promise_n note_n of_o christianity_n testimony_n and_o effectual_a sign_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o of_o our_o redemption_n in_o christ_n jesus_n by_o the_o which_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v invisible_o work_v in_o we_o not_o only_o the_o increase_n of_o faith_n but_o confirmation_n also_o you_o understand_v likewise_o that_o this_o difference_n there_o be_v betwixt_o these_o external_a element_n be_v select_v to_o be_v sacramental_a sign_n that_o be_v betwixt_o water_n in_o baptism_n and_o common_a water_n bread_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o eucharist_n and_o usual_a bread_n and_o wine_n that_o these_o now_o be_v sacrament_n sanctify_v to_o a_o other_o use_n to_o a_o spiritual_a use_n to_o the_o nourish_a of_o faith_n and_o feed_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o be_v instrument_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o the_o which_o as_o by_o instrument_n we_o be_v feed_v to_o eternal_a life_n furthermore_o you_o can_v not_o be_v ignorant_a that_o whosoever_o contemn_v these_o external_a sign_n and_o refuse_v they_o can_v not_o be_v a_o member_n of_o chryst_n neither_o yet_o save_v last_o of_o all_o you_o have_v learn_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o similitude_n betwixt_o the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v that_o they_o be_v not_o only_o in_o scripture_n usual_o call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o those_o thing_n whereof_o they_o be_v sacrament_n as_o bread_n the_o body_n of_o chryst_n and_o water_n regeneration_n but_o also_o that_o the_o contumely_n or_o contempt_n do_v to_o the_o one_o do_v redound_v to_o the_o other_o that_o be_v the_o contempt_n of_o the_o sign_n be_v the_o contempt_n of_o the_o thing_n signify_v and_o therefore_o s._n paul_n say_v 1._o cor._n 11._o he_o that_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o eat_v and_o drink_v

any_o other_o respect_n than_o for_o the_o similitude_n that_o sacrament_n have_v with_o the_o thing_n whereof_o
this_o reason_n be_v allege_v among_o other_o even_a in_o the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o make_v baptism_n perfect_a the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n itself_o declare_v in_o these_o word_n and_o that_o no_o man_n shall_v think_v any_o detriment_n shall_v come_v to_o child_n by_o defer_v of_o their_o confirmation_n he_o shall_v know_v for_o truth_n that_o it_o be_v certain_a by_o god_n word_n that_o child_n be_v baptize_v have_v all_o thing_n necessary_a for_o their_o salvation_n and_o be_v undoubted_o save_v you_o add_v as_o though_o the_o bishop_n can_v give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o bishop_n may_v use_v the_o ceremony_n use_v by_o the_o apostle_n that_o be_v imposition_n of_o hand_n &_o may_v safe_o say_v this_o godly_a prayer_n contain_v

from_o all_o subjection_n which_o be_v flat_a contrary_n to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n our_o bishop_n in_o this_o church_n do_v not_o challenge_v as_o of_o their_o own_o right_n any_o such_o civil_a
