i_o come_v to_o the_o six_o and_o last_o thing_n to_o be_v discuss_v upon_o whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o baptize_v infant_n in_o discourse_v upon_o this_o controversy_n i_o shall_v first_o set_v

win_v the_o ear_n of_o the_o more_o judicious_a and_o by_o the_o other_o prove_v myself_o not_o much_o to_o prejudice_v such_o as_o have_v high_a employment_n the_o anabaptist_n the_o more_o hopeful_o to_o lay_v their_o foundation_n against_o infant_n baptism_n have_v first_o cunning_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v rebaptise_v lawful_a which_o block_n i_o purpose_v to_o remove_v out_o of_o our_o way_n that_o so_o we_o may_v the_o better_o answer_v all_o they_o object_n against_o baptise_v infant_n to_o countenance_v their_o cause_n they_o labour_v to_o prove_v out_o of_o the_o act_n that_o those_o

be_v add_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o it_o be_v most_o might_n and_o right_a for_o those_o who_o be_v wash_v with_o johns_n baptism_n to_o receive_v also_o christ_n baptism_n that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v insure_v of_o remission_n of_o sin_n by_o be_v baptize_v into_o the_o faith_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n the_o anabaptist_n let_v he_o produce_v any_o so_o baptize_v by_o john_n and_o we_o
