and_o why_o he_o shall_v use_v two_o word_n renew_v &_o repentance_n for_o repentance_n itself_o be_v a_o renew_n renew_v be_v a_o general_a word_n &_o may_v be_v distribute_v into_o two_o sort_n first_o there_o be_v a_o renew_v sacramental_a and_o baptismal_a when_o a_o man_n be_v baptize_v or_o illuminate_v and_o thereby_o initiate_v to_o a_o new_a state_n and_o way_n of_o live_v according_a

his_o wicked_a course_n of_o sin_v to_o a_o careful_a and_o conscionable_a new_a way_n of_o live_v according_a to_o direction_n of_o the_o gospel_n hence_o i_o collect_v that_o the_o meaning_n of_o these_o word_n be_v that_o he_o that_o have_v once_o be_v renew_a by_o baptismal_a illumination_n to_o repentance_n or_o amendment_n of_o life_n if_o such_o a_o man_n fall_v he_o can_v the_o second_o time_n be_v renew_a by_o a_o second_o baptismal_a renew_v a_o second_o baptism_n will_v not_o acquit_v he_o of_o his_o sin_n but_o yet_o he_o be_v not_o exclude_v from_o a_o moral_a renew_v by_o

plain_a proposition_n first_o a_o man_n that_o after_o baptism_n fall_v into_o sin_n though_o ever_o so_o great_a yet_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n may_v repent_v and_o be_v recover_v second_o a_o man_n baptize_v that_o be_v fall_v in_o his_o old_a carnal_a live_n may_v be_v renew_a and_o possible_o may_v become_v a_o new_a man_n and_o a_o new_a creature_n for_o a_o sinner_n after_o baptism_n may_v he_o renew_v because_o he_o may_v repent_v three_o the_o reader_n may_v take_v notice_n that_o in_o this_o place_n the_o word_n illuminate_v and_o renew_v be_v of_o the_o same_o signification_n so_o that_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o he_o that_o be_v once_o by_o baptism_n illuminate_v can_v again_o by_o baptism_n be_v illuminate_v and_o he_o that_o be_v once_o by_o baptism_n renew_v can_v again_o by_o baptism_n be_v renew_a to_o repentance_n four_o a_o man_n may_v once_o be_v enlighten_v and_o baptize_v and_o thereby_o renew_a to_o amendment_n of_o life_n and_o repentance_n and_o freedom_n or_o acquitment_n from_o his_o sin_n past_a and_o this_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o laver_n of_o regeneration_n and_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n death_n but_o after_o
