wiâ—h_v yourselves_o what_o truth_n their_o be_v in_o this_o and_o the_o brownist_n they_o approve_v of_o the_o baptism_n and_o baptise_v of_o they_o who_o parent_n persecute_v their_o own_o child_n for_o walk_v in_o their_o way_n be_v these_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o faithful_a what_o blindness_n and_o inuprightnes_n be_v this_o to_o profess_v a_o ground_n and_o walk_v by_o no_o ground_n you_o
