one_o hope_n of_o their_o call_n one_o lord_n one_o faith_n then_o 6_o and_o they_o have_v all_o one_o baptism_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v literal_o bare_o for_o the_o sacrament_n of_o wash_v with_o water_n but_o either_o it_o be_v take_v as_o some_o interpret_v it_o for_o the_o spiritual_a part_n of_o baptism_n which_o be_v their_o new_a birth_n the_o wash_n away_o of_o their_o sin_n and_o the_o wash_n of_o they_o with_o god_n spirit_n or_o rather_o as_o it_o be_v the_o custom_n in_o the_o jewish_a church_n to_o have_v all_o their_o ordinance_n signify_v by_o circumcision_n whence_o therefore_o all_o who_o embrace_v the_o jew_n manner_n of_o worship_n be_v call_v the_o circumcision_n because_o it_o be_v the_o first_o ordinance_n and_o that_o which_o seal_v they_o to_o all_o the_o rest_n so_o i_o conceive_v he_o mean_v by_o baptism_n that_o as_o it_o be_v the_o first_o ordinance_n so_o it_o be_v here_o use_v to_o express_v all_o gospel_n institution_n so_o that_o by_o one_o baptism_n he_o mean_v that_o god_n people_n all_o have_v the_o same_o ordinance_n or_o mean_n for_o their_o edification_n and_o build_v up_o in_o christ_n and_o then_o last_o they_o have_v all_o one_o god_n and_o father_n of_o all_o who_o be_v above_o they_o all_o and_o through_o they_o all_o and_o in_o they_o all_o which_o signify_v that_o they_o all_o have_v one_o god_n which_o be_v their_o sovereign_a lord_n the_o father_n

with_o this_o suit_n and_o second_o let_v we_o not_o only_o pray_v but_o let_v we_o labour_n to_o promote_v it_o and_o let_v we_o to_o this_o end_n examine_v our_o own_o principle_n and_o let_v we_o

be_v precious_a and_o worthy_a to_o be_v contend_v for_o yet_o every_o truth_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n nor_o necessary_a to_o be_v find_v in_o all_o with_o who_o we_o ought_v to_o
