of_o god_n and_o that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o lot_n in_o sodom_n but_o that_o it_o be_v true_a that_o he_o be_v much_o offend_v and_o it_o yet_o trouble_v he_o to_o see_v the_o wicked_a life_n of_o

32_o 33._o concerning_o the_o second_o question_n if_o the_o question_n be_v to_o who_o baptism_n be_v to_o be_v administer_v the_o answer_n from_o the_o text_n will_v be_v this_o that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v administer_v to_o such_o as_o have_v receive_v the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o be_v to_o such_o as_o god_n do_v own_o to_o belong_v to_o he_o for_o the_o apostle_n argument_n to_o prove_v that_o cornelius_n and_o his_o company_n ought_v to_o be_v baptise_v be_v ground_v upon_o this_o maxim_n whosoever_o god_n do_v own_o as_o he_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v set_v apart_o as_o

to_o be_v administer_v first_o concerning_o infant_n we_o take_v the_o apostle_n argument_n thus_o and_o say_v if_o god_n do_v own_o the_o infant_n of_o believe_a parent_n as_o his_o than_o they_o ought_v to_o receive_v the_o token_n of_o his_o own_n of_o they_o but_o god_n do_v own_o these_o infant_n as_o his_o ergo_fw-la they_o ought_v to_o receive_v the_o token_n of_o his_o own_n of_o they_o which_o be_v baptism_n the_o minor_a proposition_n that_o god_n do_v own_o the_o infant_n of_o believer_n as_o his_o be_v manifest_a from_o 1_o cor._n 7._o 14._o where_o the_o apostle_n declare_v that_o although_o but_o one_o of_o the_o parent_n be_v a_o believer_n yet_o the_o infant_n be_v holy_a that_o be_v own_v by_o god_n as_o he_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n make_v with_o
