repentance_n viz._n by_o show_v we_o our_o natural_a corruption_n which_o must_v be_v wash_v before_o we_o be_v acknowledge_v for_o member_n of_o christ_n meditate_v of_o this_o when_o thou_o see_v

of_o the_o soul_n i_o say_v for_o this_o wash_n in_o baptism_n be_v not_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o body_n but_o of_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o body_n he_o that_o rest_v in_o the_o wash_n of_o the_o

demand_v of_o he_o will_v thou_o be_v baptize_v in_o this_o faith_n to_o which_o when_o he_o have_v answer_v this_o be_v my_o desire_n he_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o by_o submit_v himself_o to_o baptism_n he_o do_v subscribe_v to_o the_o christian_a faith_n add_v this_o also_o that_o when_o the_o minister_n do_v cross_v the_o child_n forehead_n he_o use_v these_o word_n in_o token_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v ashamed_a to_o profess_v the_o faith_n of_o christ_n crucify_v which_o word_n do_v plain_o express_v the_o end_n wherefore_o it_o be_v do_v neither_o doubt_n i_o but_o that_o the_o church_n appoint_v this_o to_o be_v do_v in_o imitation_n of_o the_o other_o ministerial_a act_n and_o so_o by_o the_o variation_n of_o the_o phrase_n show_v what_o they_o conceive_v to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o phrase_n use_v in_o baptism_n viz._n to_o bind_v the_o party_n to_o the_o profession_n of_o this_o faith_n by_o this_o now_o we_o see_v the_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v essential_a to_o the_o form_n of_o administration_n that_o with_o name_v the_o action_n there_o be_v a_o recitation_n of_o the_o trinity_n viz._n because_o the_o mention_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n do_v determinate_a the_o end_n and_o use_v of_o the_o act_n which_o be_v of_o itself_o indefinite_a and_o appliable_a to_o many_o other_o end_n

there_o be_v another_o form_n of_o word_n deliver_v jesus_n but_o we_o answer_v that_o these_o word_n do_v not_o set_v down_o the_o form_n of_o baptism_n but_o the_o end_n and_o use_v of_o it_o viz._n to_o assure_v they_o of_o remission_n of_o sin_n by_o christ_n or_o if_o they_o do_v intimate_v the_o form_n yet_o not_o the_o whole_a form_n but_o only_o part_v of_o the_o form_n use_v by_o the_o

and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o else_o by_o a_o ceremony_n superad_v as_o do_v our_o church_n for_o explication_n of_o that_o faith_n which_o be_v require_v to_o be_v place_v in_o the_o second_o
