to_o the_o whole_a life_n of_o man_n for_o answer_v i_o will_v set_v down_o what_o we_o teach_v and_o what_o the_o papist_n we_o teach_v that_o the_o use_n of_o baptism_n enlarge_v itself_o to_o the_o

be_v offer_v reason_n may_v be_v these_o first_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o they_o that_o have_v long_o before_o be_v baptize_v and_o that_o in_o the_o time_n present_a baptism_n save_v 1._o
