of_o gospel-minister_n and_o all_o true_a believer_n in_o order_n to_o church-communion_n to_o subject_v themselves_o to_o the_o ordinance_n of_o water-baptism_n the_o second_o be_v against_o excess_n

rise_v up_o to_o weaken_v if_o not_o make_v void_a that_o great_a ordinance_n of_o baptism_n by_o endeavour_v to_o maintain_v that_o all_o person_n that_o believe_v although_o they_o never_o do_v nor_o do_v practice_n the_o same_o may_v partake_v of_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o all_o other_o gospel_n institute_v duty_n a_o notion_n not_o only_o contrary_a to_o the_o
