of_o christ_n or_o of_o the_o gospel_n to_o such_o a_o sense_n the_o doctor_n reply_v it_o be_v unreasonable_a to_o presume_v that_o the_o gospel_n will_v not_o extend_v the_o subject_a of_o baptism_n as_o far_o as_o the_o jewish_a church_n extend_v the_o subject_a both_o of_o circumcision_n and_o baptism_n but_o i_o answer_v if_o this_o be_v grant_v yet_o the_o doctor_n gain_v nothing_o for_o 1._o the_o jewish_a church_n have_v no_o baptism_n at_o all_o of_o divine_a institution_n and_o therefore_o can_v not_o extend_v that_o she_o have_v not_o 2._o her_o circumcision_n be_v limit_v to_o
