therefore_o now_o humble_o offer_v to_o your_o serious_a consideration_n with_o this_o earnest_a desire_n that_o if_o after_o all_o that_o i_o have_v now_o say_v you_o shall_v yet_o judge_v i_o to_o be_v under_o a_o mistake_n in_o the_o present_a point_n in_o reference_n to_o my_o opinion_n about_o the_o spiritual_a seed_n of_o abraham_n that_o you_o will_v please_v at_o least_o to_o suggest_v to_o i_o what_o you_o think_v may_v be_v substantial_o object_v by_o way_n of_o opposition_n thereunto_o i_o hope_v dear_a sir_n that_o it_o be_v the_o investigation_n of_o truth_n that_o both_o you_o and_o myself_o also_o do_v aim_n at_o which_o shall_v be_v dear_a to_o we_o than_o all_o the_o world_n beside_o and_o therefore_o if_o notwithstanding_o what_o i_o have_v now_o offer_v you_o shall_v still_o apprehend_v that_o i_o have_v miss_v it_o in_o my_o present_a search_n and_o reason_v concern_v it_o i_o beseech_v you_o to_o endeavour_v my_o correction_n and_o better_a information_n therein_o i_o have_v indeed_o draw_v up_o the_o enclose_v paper_n by_o way_n of_o postscript_n to_o a_o large_a discourse_n in_o reference_n to_o infant_n baptism_n which_o i_o have_v before_o compile_v wherein_o i_o do_v consider_v and_o give_v answer_n to_o all_o the_o most_o material_a argument_n which_o be_v usual_o insist_v on_o for_o the_o justification_n of_o the_o practice_n of_o infant_n baptism_n and_o therefore_o also_o in_o the_o present_a paper_n you_o will_v perceive_v that_o i_o do_v touch_n upon_o some_o other_o argument_n than_o what_o you_o be_v please_v to_o insist_v upon_o in_o the_o formentioned_a conference_n that_o i_o have_v with_o you_o upon_o this_o subject_n i_o know_v dear_a sir_n that_o you_o will_v not_o be_v offend_v with_o i_o for_o make_v thus_o bold_a with_o you_o and_o that_o you_o will_v not_o reject_v what_o may_v be_v substantia_o offer_v for_o the_o discovery_n of_o truth_n though_o by_o never_o so_o mean_a a_o hand_n now_o that_o god_n will_v be_v please_v at_o length_n to_o send_v forth_o his_o light_n and_o his_o truth_n that_o all_o that_o love_n and_o fear_v he_o may_v serve_v and_o worship_n he_o with_o one_o

here_o himself_o call_v but_o a_o conference_n the_o soft_a word_n in_o the_o world_n if_o he_o have_v any_o resentment_n at_o that_o time_n how_o often_o have_v the_o sun_n go_v down_o on_o his_o
