not_o ashamed_a to_o deny_v that_o christ_n be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n indeed_o both_o they_o and_o their_o grandmother_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v willing_a to_o confess_v that_o christ_n

indeed_o a_o form_n of_o godliness_n but_o want_v the_o power_n and_o well_o for_o they_o if_o that_o be_v the_o worst_a but_o they_o magnify_v and_o cry_v up_o a_o form_n and_o utter_o reject_v despise_v and_o deny_v the_o power_n which_o be_v the_o immortal_a seed_n christ_n jesus_n the_o light_n within_o and_o from_o such_o we_o be_v command_v to_o turn_v away_o their_o prayer_n and_o

christ_n speak_v in_o any_o which_o be_v evident_a that_o he_o do_v not_o speak_v in_o they_o they_o cry_v up_o and_o plead_v earnest_o for_o water-baptism_n which_o christ_n never_o administer_v

out_o of_o their_o view_n and_o knowledge_n so_o be_v it_o very_o convenient_a they_o think_v to_o necessitate_v these_o carnal_a ordinance_n to_o reduce_v their_o unmindful_a and_o forgetful_a

we_o prefer_v christ_n jesus_n the_o light_n above_o the_o scripture_n for_o in_o all_o thing_n he_o must_v have_v the_o pre-eminence_n therefore_o say_v john_n the_o baptist_n i_o prefer_v he_o
