that_o many_o be_v not_o dip_v in_o scripture_n time_n particular_o act_v 2.41_o we_o read_v of_o 3000_o baptise_a in_o part_n of_o a_o day_n and_o this_o be_v at_o jerusalem_n where_o there_o be_v no_o river_n but_o only_o the_o brook_n cedron_n beside_o these_o be_v either_o dip_v naked_a or_o with_o their_o clothes_n if_o naked_a this_o will_v be_v a_o unseemly_a sight_n and_o look_v as_o

if_o with_o their_o clothes_n this_o will_v be_v as_o strange_a for_o it_o can_v be_v expect_v they_o bring_v clothes_n with_o they_o at_o that_o juncture_n and_o it_o will_v have_v be_v very_o

the_o water_n shall_v be_v apply_v whether_o by_o dip_v sprinkle_v or_o pour_v water_n on_o the_o face_n it_o may_v be_v equal_o pretend_v that_o we_o must_v eat_v and_o drink_v plentiful_o at_o the_o

then_o incourage_v they_o to_o hope_v they_o shall_v again_o be_v receive_v into_o favour_n with_o god_n and_o say_v he_o the_o promise_n will_v be_v make_v good_a not_o only_o to_o you_o but_o to_o
