not_o as_o he_o do_v for_o commit_v sin_n every_o day_n and_o all_o his_o life_n long_o yet_o pretend_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o minister_n of_o christ_n and_o be_v so_o acknowledge_v by_o the_o

say_v he_o that_o commit_v sin_n be_v the_o servant_n of_o sin_n and_o john_n his_o belove_a apostle_n say_v he_o that_o commit_v sin_n be_v of_o the_o devil_n and_o in_o my_o judgement_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v for_o sin_n be_v never_o any_o service_n of_o god_n but_o of_o the_o devil_n and_o if_o man_n be_v find_v in_o the_o devil_n service_n and_o yet_o say_v they_o be_v servant_n of_o christ_n what_o sensible_a man_n will_v believe_v they_o now_o therefore_o here_o be_v the_o ground_n cause_n of_o all_o our_o division_n about_o religion_n rebel_n and_o wicked_a man_n that_o be_v go_v away_o

yet_o say_v they_o be_v servant_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o the_o blind_a people_n believe_v they_o though_o their_o fruit_n do_v manifest_v they_o and_o these_o man_n though_o they_o be_v wicked_a man_n yet_o they_o can_v like_o the_o magician_n of_o egypt_n imitate_v moses_n and_o imitate_v john_n the_o baptist_n yet_o they_o bring_v forth_o nothing_o but_o what_o die_v of_o itself_o for_o there_o be_v nothing_o of_o the_o power_n and_o life_n of_o god_n in_o it_o no_o virtue_n of_o christ_n so_o it_o do_v people_n no_o good_a but_o leave_v they_o as_o full_a of_o corruption_n as_o it_o find_v they_o yet_o it_o please_v people_n to_o have_v pillow_n sew_v under_o their_o armhole_n and_o to_o be_v smooth_v over_o and_o cry_v peace_n peace_n when_o there_o be_v no_o peace_n with_o god_n no_o peace_n of_o conscience_n so_o people_n go_v on_o into_o the_o pit_n because_o they_o believe_v lie_n and_o take_v sprinkle_v of_o infant_n to_o be_v christ_n baptism_n and_o call_v it_o

they_o declare_v all_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v do_v with_o they_o so_o the_o lord_n be_v with_o they_o as_o he_o be_v at_o this_o day_n with_o his_o minister_n who_o be_v the_o strength_n of_o

the_o lord_n require_v so_o that_o all_o that_o live_v and_o abide_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o do_v what_o they_o do_v in_o it_o they_o do_v it_o to_o his_o praise_n and_o glory_n by_o this_o time_n i_o hope_v it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o name_n be_v the_o power_n and_o that_o the_o lord_n that_o send_v they_o to_o teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o into_o the_o name_n etc._n

do_v not_o profit_v the_o people_n at_o all_o neither_o do_v they_o know_v christ_n or_o his_o name_n nor_o have_v hear_v his_o voice_n or_o see_v his_o appearance_n to_o their_o joy_n object_n but_o

your_o power_n and_o authority_n in_o this_o matter_n that_o you_o both_o preach_v and_o baptise_v whereas_o paul_n say_v he_o be_v not_o send_v to_o baptise_v but_o to_o preach_v and_o we_o say_v

that_o this_o baptism_n you_o practise_v can_v be_v john_n nor_o christ_n it_o can_v be_v for_o he_o never_o have_v water_n ascribe_v to_o he_o but_o john_n who_o be_v a_o true_a minister_n in_o his_o
