opinion_n that_o it_o be_v any_o aggravation_n of_o sin_n till_o the_o baptise_a person_n come_v to_o year_n of_o discretion_n and_o have_v either_o actual_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o performance_n of_o his_o baptismal_a vow_n or_o else_o have_v attain_v so_o much_o knowledge_n of_o his_o profession_n as_o that_o he_o have_v or_o may_v have_v information_n that_o he_o be_v initiate_v thereinto_o

that_o any_o sin_n presumptuous_o commit_v against_o the_o divine_a majesty_n do_v imply_v a_o breach_n of_o this_o vow_n as_o well_o as_o final_a apostasy_n yea_o that_o the_o abnegation_n of_o any_o
