his_o surety_n in_o who_o hand_n the_o pardon_n be_v to_o give_v it_o he_o that_o so_o he_o may_v be_v set_v at_o liberty_n let_v i_o tell_v you_o satan_n many_o time_n assault_v the_o soul_n and_o

he_o may_v pray_v for_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o full_a assurance_n of_o it_o and_o may_v ask_v for_o pardon_n of_o sin_n as_o it_o include_v his_o right_n to_o be_v

you_o say_v that_o a_o saint_n after_o believe_v may_v fear_v again_o which_o if_o it_o be_v true_a object_n why_o do_v the_o apostle_n say_v we_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n again_o to_o fear_v in_o answer_n to_o this_o we_o must_v know_v paul_n be_v not_o there_o go_v about_o sol._n to_o tell_v they_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o fear_v again_o but_o

only_o of_o its_o own_o nature_n so_o that_o again_o i_o desire_v thou_o may_v not_o seek_v after_o a_o sign_n like_o a_o foolish_a and_o adulterous_a generation_n leave_v while_o with_o herod_n thou_o will_v have_v christ_n but_o with_o a_o desire_n to_o see_v some_o miracle_n from_o he_o thou_o fall_v short_a of_o christ_n and_o christ_n work_v none_o at_o all_o before_o thou_o as_o

give_v and_o when_o and_o we_o will_v serious_o weigh_v that_o commission_n the_o second_o and_o last_o argument_n i_o shall_v at_o present_a propound_v though_o the_o first_o alone_o be_v sufficient_a against_o infant_n baptism_n be_v this_o that_o which_o confound_v the_o church_n and_o the_o world_n make_v they_o both_o one_o be_v altogether_o unlawful_a but_o baptism_n of_o infant_n do_v confound_v the_o church_n and_o the_o world_n together_o therefore_o unlawful_a the_o first_o be_v evident_a and_o so_o be_v the_o second_o if_o we_o consider_v that_o all_o man_n by_o natural_a

scripture_n be_v most_o strange_o pervert_v from_o whence_o many_o soul_n take_v advantage_n to_o propagate_v their_o own_o delusion_n that_o we_o may_v a_o little_a manifest_v the_o truth_n of_o

to_o say_v he_o mean_v the_o spirit_n be_v by_o the_o same_o reason_n altogether_o groundless_a for_o he_o say_v not_o be_v baptize_v with_o the_o spirit_n but_o know_v thou_o this_o god_n have_v give_v we_o understanding_n to_o know_v his_o will_n by_o his_o word_n sure_o when_o he_o say_v baptize_v he_o will_v have_v we_o know_v what_o he_o mean_v so_o that_o we_o must_v express_v with_o what_o or_o confess_v our_o own_o ignorance_n i_o have_v already_o prove_v this_o baptism_n be_v the_o baptism_n of_o water_n and_o i_o say_v again_o to_o baptise_v proper_o signify_v to_o dip_v in_o

which_o baptism_n be_v a_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o for_o you_o to_o say_v object_n christ_n have_v a_o baptism_n of_o water_n be_v to_o make_v two_o baptism_n whereof_o one_o of_o they_o be_v of_o your_o own_o invention_n for_o to_o say_v christ_n have_v two_o baptism_n be_v to_o give_v the_o scripture_n the_o lie_n if_o we_o shall_v say_v there_o be_v two_o baptism_n the_o

the_o apostle_n mean_v the_o baptism_n of_o water_n in_o this_o scripture_n for_o he_o mention_n not_o the_o spirit_n nor_o water_n so_o that_o i_o may_v as_o well_o retort_v this_o objection_n and_o say_v there_o be_v but_o one_o baptism_n which_o be_v of_o water_n therefore_o for_o any_o to_o say_v there_o be_v a_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n they_o give_v this_o scripture_n the_o lie_n which_o manner_n of_o argument_n be_v it_o far_o from_o i_o for_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n there_o be_v to_o draw_v the_o saint_n into_o unity_n from_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o

have_v not_o of_o the_o gospel_n which_o every_o saint_n have_v yet_o one_o faith_n so_o one_o baptism_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o baptism_n of_o water_n of_o the_o the_o spirit_n and_o of_o affliction_n which_o in_o one_o respect_n be_v divers_a yet_o in_o another_o they_o be_v one_o that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o unity_n the_o one_o not_o destroy_v the_o other_o water_z spirit_z and_o affliction_n
