A84133 The Anabaptists ground-work for reformation: or, New planting of churches, that no man, woman, nor child, may be baptized, but such as have justifying faith, and doe make profession thereof, before, to the baptizer, found false, with all things depending thereon. As being contrary to the Scriptures, and to the examples of Christ and his Apostles, ... Proved by severall arguments. Whereunto one T.L. a principall baptizer, (and apostle in their account) hath given his answers. Unto which answers, replies are also made by I.E. and some arguments annexed, proving, that the children of all such beleevers as were baptized, and so received into the Church, might be baptized, and received also. With a brief declaration what the true reformation is, and shal be, farre above these Anabaptists, and all such carnall builders conceits. And who the two witnesses of God are, by whom chiefly it is to be performed. Imprimatut [sic].

and_o bless_v they_o and_o that_o this_o be_v a_o great_a thing_n then_o outward_a baptism_n and_o he_o esteem_v they_o meet_v for_o the_o same_o because_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v of_o

for_o prayer_n and_o command_v say_v when_o you_o pray_v say_v our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n i_o ask_v the_o reason_n why_o you_o do_v not_o when_o you_o pray_v perform_v
