even_o those_o that_o have_v the_o two_o great_a witness_n to_o witness_v unto_o they_o and_o to_o confirm_v they_o in_o the_o truth_n which_o be_v the_o word_n write_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o

be_v most_o suitable_a to_o all_o power_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n to_o give_v out_o a_o commission_n to_o baptise_v man_n into_o the_o name_n and_o nature_n and_o image_n and_o likeness_n of_o

and_o not_o into_o material_a water_n as_o man_n do_v carnal_o understand_v it_o first_o we_o have_v a_o clear_a testimony_n in_o the_o 11_o chapter_n of_o the_o act_n of_o the_o accomplish_n of_o this_o great_a

divine_a power_n and_o that_o god_n do_v accomplish_v this_o great_a work_n by_o mean_n this_o we_o do_v also_o affirm_v and_o to_o this_o end_n christ_n give_v his_o apostle_n a_o commission_n to_o
