that_o though_o this_o be_v bring_v as_o a_o objection_n against_o baptism_n yet_o the_o objector_n do_v thereby_o confess_v the_o baptism_n here_o intend_v be_v that_o of_o water_n and_o then_o by_o your_o own_o confession_n paul_n baptize_v after_o the_o come_n of_o the_o comforter_n or_o christ_n in_o spirit_n but_o you_o say_v he_o thank_v god_n he_o baptize_v no_o more_o indeed_o too_o many_o by_o they_o if_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o be_v out_o of_o door_n before_o but_o to_o return_v you_o a_o answer_n take_v his_o next_o word_n for_o it_o he_o give_v you_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o thank_v god_n he_o baptize_v no_o more_o it_o be_v not_o because_o the_o practice_n than_o be_v not_o in_o force_n but_o lest_o any_o shall_v say_v he_o baptize_v in_o his_o own_o name_n many_o among_o they_o be_v grow_v so_o carnal_a as_o to_o slight_v or_o else_o to_o idolise_v their_o teacher_n and_o ready_a to_o accuse_v the_o minister_n of_o christ_n with_o unfaithfulness_n as_o if_o they_o do_v that_o in_o their_o own_o name_n which_o they_o do_v in_o the_o name_n and_o authority_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o speak_v those_o word_n but_o it_o be_v object_v that_o he_o do_v affirm_v christ_n send_v he_o not_o to_o baptise_v but_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n answ_n paul_n do_v not_o intend_v by_o his_o so_o speak_v that_o he_o have_v no_o authority_n from_o christ_n to_o baptize_v but_o rather_o to_o show_v that_o his_o chief_a work_n be_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n he_o give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o to_o baptize_v be_v not_o the_o alone_a and_o chief_a business_n he_o be_v send_v to_o do_v but_o his_o great_a work_n be_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n this_o word_n not_o be_v not_o always_o use_v as_o a_o absolute_a

by_o the_o same_o argument_n we_o may_v conclude_v also_o that_o adam_n be_v not_o at_o all_o deceive_v because_o paul_n say_v express_o 1_o tim._n 2._o 14._o adam_n be_v not_o deceive_v but_o the_o woman_n it_o be_v clear_a the_o apostle_n mean_v adam_n be_v not_o first_o deceive_v i_o may_v give_v divers_a instance_n of_o the_o like_a kind_n but_o this_o shall_v at_o present_a suffice_v as_o to_o the_o answer_n of_o this_o objection_n i_o shall_v now_o come_v to_o examine_v the_o next_o part_n of_o your_o letter_n these_o be_v your_o very_a word_n be_v a_o repetition_n and_o reply_v to_o
