remember_v mind_v and_o retain_v the_o lord_n baptism_n we_o have_v receive_v lead_v not_o to_o but_o preserve_v from_o such_o evil_n for_o it_o lead_v we_o to_o acknowledge_v the_o great_a love_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o the_o gift_n of_o his_o son_n and_o testify_v and_o tender_v to_o we_o in_o the_o gospel_n of_o his_o son_n into_o who_o name_n we_o be_v baptize_v and_o so_o to_o count_v ourselves_o engage_v as_o by_o vow_n and_o solemn_a covenant_n which_o since_o we_o come_v to_o use_v of_o understanding_n we_o have_v accept_v to_o be_v the_o lord_n to_o live_v to_o he_o to_o believe_v his_o say_n and_o wait_v for_o his_o spirit_n and_o walk_v in_o his_o way_n as_o be_v fore-shewn_a pag._n 23.24_o if_o any_o say_v we_o plead_v thus_o to_o save_v ourselves_o from_o trouble_n among_o man_n i_o answer_v what_o through_o frailty_n we_o may_v do_v we_o desire_v to_o acknowledge_v and_o seek_v preservation_n from_o or_o if_o overtake_v heal_v of_o it_o but_o it_o will_v be_v no_o comfort_n to_o suffer_v for_o that_o we_o have_v no_o command_n in_o the_o word_n for_o but_o in_o our_o apprehension_n much_o against_o it_o but_o although_o we_o shun_v that_o practice_n yet_o if_o we_o hold_v forth_o the_o word_n of_o life_n in_o word_n and_o conversation_n acknowledge_v the_o say_n and_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n and_o our_o brethren_n witness_v against_o the_o idolatry_n and_o evil_a way_n of_o man_n we_o shall_v suffer_v as_o much_o as_o they_o yea_o and_o with_o they_o while_o we_o acknowledge_v that_o truth_n which_o some_o of_o they_o with_o we_o do_v hold_v though_o we_o urge_v not_o a_o second_o baptism_n as_o of_o old_a some_o do_v circumcision_n to_o glory_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o boast_v of_o another_o man_n line_n withal_o which_o in_o our_o judgement_n will_v befall_v we_o in_o that_o practice_n wherefore_o i_o say_v no_o more_o to_o this_o but_o the_o lord_n make_v we_o so_o mindful_a of_o he_o in_o who_o name_n we_o be_v baptize_v that_o we_o may_v in_o believe_v his_o say_n attend_v his_o ordinance_n and_o accept_v to_o bear_v his_o reproach_n wait_v on_o he_o for_o his_o spirit_n to_o baptize_v we_o more_o and_o more_o into_o union_n and_o conformity_n with_o jesus_n christ_n in_o his_o death_n that_o we_o may_v experiment_n more_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o resurrection_n so_o shall_v we_o be_v more_o separate_a from_o the_o world_n in_o the_o idolatry_n pride_n carnal_a reason_n superstition_n custom_n fashion_n uncleanness_n covetousness_n and_o oppression_n thereof_o and_o be_v find_v more_o love_v tender_a and_o faithful_a to_o one_o another_o and_o fruitful_a to_o the_o spirit_n and_o so_o will_v our_o difference_n be_v heal_v which_o god_n of_o his_o mercy_n grant_v that_o we_o may_v not_o bite_v one_o another_o that_o so_o there_o be_v not_o a_o devour_a nor_o turn_v any_o out_o of_o the_o way_n but_o that_o we_o may_v all_o grow_v in_o grace_n and_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o
