most_o apparent_a we_o can_v not_o think_v that_o this_o custom_n be_v translate_v only_o from_o the_o baptise_v of_o they_o that_o be_v of_o ripe_a year_n but_o be_v they_o ripe_a or_o unripe_a it_o

for_o it_o and_o be_v do_v only_o by_o the_o way_n of_o stipulation_n one_o in_o the_o name_n of_o another_o which_o withal_o more_o lively_o answer_v ●o_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o covenaunt_n and_o

the_o ordinary_a course_n most_o convenient_a neither_o for_o sermon_n mencion_v any_o at_o all_o and_o therefore_o otherwise_o than_o for_o convenient_a it_o be_v plain_a that_o he_o take_v it_o not_o to_o be_v of_o such_o necessity_n and_o afterward_o in_o the_o next_o treatise_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n he_o do_v h_o notable_o also_o handle_v the_o consecration_n cap._n 4._o pa._n 209._o where_o he_o say_v consecration_n yet_o there_o remain_v one_o question_n for_o we_o say_v that_o the_o bread_n &_o the_o wine_n be_v sanctify_v of_o the_o min._n so_o far_o forth_o as_o he_o be_v the_o legate_n or_o interpreter_n of_o god_n will_n &_o the_o word_n of_o god_n institution_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a mean_a to_o be_v adhibit_v unto_o this_o consecration_n even_o so_o

will_v have_v to_o be_v understand_v by_o the_o term_n of_o consecration_n otherwise_o even_o as_o aug._n say_v of_o the_o water_n of_o bapt._n take_v the_o word_n from_o the_o baptism_n &_o what_o

these_o speech_n to_o the_o author_n of_o they_o yea_o christian_n liberty_n in_o they_o sometime_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v testify_v because_o there_o be_v many_o so_o simple_a that_o they_o

of_o any_o the_o gross_a papist_n that_o so_o write_v they_o rather_o err_v on_o the_o other_o side_n in_o stand_v too_o much_o on_o the_o necessity_n of_o water_n when_o they_o make_v 〈◊〉_d the_o
