this_o wash_n for_o christ_n do_v retain_v the_o element_n of_o water_n in_o this_o ordinance_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o natural_a property_n which_o it_o have_v most_o fit_a for_o his_o end_n in_o

of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o purge_v away_o the_o spot_n thereof_o for_o the_o sanctify_n of_o believer_n so_o the_o virtue_n both_o of_o christ_n death_n and_o of_o his_o resurrection_n be_v

when_o they_o be_v baptise_v with_o the_o spirit_n and_o upon_o this_o account_n they_o reject_v not_o only_o baptism_n but_o all_o other_o ordinance_n but_o to_o these_o none_o other_o answer_n be_v
