A87828	Seven questions about the controversie betweene the Church of England, and the Separatists and Anabaptists, breifely [sic] discussed. 1. Whether is the Church of England as it now stands a true church? 2. Whether the Church of England be a right nationall church? 3. Whether are the ministers in the Church of England sent of God, and so are true ministers or not? 4. Whether is the baptisme of infants a true and lawfull baptisme or no? 5. Whether it be lawfull to be rebaptized or not? 6. Whether it is lawfull to separate from all the publike ordinances and Christian assemblies in our English church, because there are some defects in discipline, and in other things amongst us? 7. Whether is it necessarie to demolish our churches (steeple-houses as the Separatists call them,) and to build them in other places, because they were built by idolators for idolatrous worship, were abused with images, and dedicated to saints?

in_o a_o corrupt_a form_n but_o now_o be_v right_o baptize_v yet_o here_o be_v no_o rebaptisation_n some_o hold_v they_o be_v baptize_v of_o john_n and_o paul_n both_o for_o the_o divers_a manner_n of_o signification_n john_n baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n that_o be_v to_o come_v and_o to_o be_v exhibit_v paul_n in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n already_o come_v and_o exhibit_v but_o let_v we_o consult_v the_o text_n a_o little_o better_a first_o the_o text_n say_v not_o that_o paul_n baptize_v those_o who_o before_o be_v baptize_v of_o john_n as_o the_o anabaptist_n urge_v but_o
