wary_a how_o we_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o that_o roar_a lion_n which_o go_v about_o continual_o seek_v who_o he_o may_v devour_v but_o here_o remain_v a_o great_a scruple_n be_v not_o david_n

in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o baptism_n the_o laver_n of_o our_o new_a birth_n do_v it_o not_o wash_v away_o original_a sin_n why_o then_o do_v david_n yet_o complain_v of_o it_o or_o why_o do_v we_o who_o be_v baptize_v stand_v daily_o yet_o in_o jeopardie_n of_o it_o to_o clear_v this_o point_n we_o resolve_v that_o since_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n his_o infirmity_n have_v ever_o be_v such_o as_o all_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n ordain_v by_o god_n have_v fall_v short_a of_o work_v their_o full_a and_o perfect_a effect_n upon_o we_o in_o this_o life_n the_o word_n

weakness_n our_o hope_n be_v imperfect_a for_o it_o be_v mingle_v with_o fear_n our_o joy_n be_v not_o complete_a for_o we_o rejoice_v in_o tremble_v the_o sacrament_n of_o circumcision_n and_o baptism_n be_v ordain_v against_o original_a sin_n yet_o for_o want_v not_o of_o efficacy_n in_o the_o gift_n but_o of_o capacity_n in_o the_o receiver_n thereof_o they_o fall_v short_a of_o the_o full_a effect_n here_o it_o be_v therefore_o far_o from_o we_o to_o limit_v god_n by_o his_o ordinance_n to_o bind_v he_o to_o pass_v his_o grace_n no_o way_n but_o by_o they_o as_o far_o be_v it_o from_o we_o to_o extend_v the_o force_n of_o his_o ordinance_n to_o that_o latitude_n that_o which_o way_n so_o ever_o his_o outward_a ordinance_n go_v his_o grace_n must_v necessary_o follow_v the_o

do_v work_v their_o effect_n more_o or_o less_o in_o his_o church_n for_o my_o own_o judgement_n i_o have_v believe_v and_o teach_v that_o baptism_n do_v so_o purge_v away_o original_a sin_n as_o it_o do_v regenerate_v we_o it_o work_v the_o same_o work_n at_o once_o the_o kill_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n in_o we_o as_o we_o perceive_v our_o regeneration_n imperfect_a so_o we_o must_v confess_v our_o mortification_n imperfect_a therefore_o after_o baptism_n there_o remain_v yet_o a_o ●ome_v of_o our_o original_a sin_n because_o christ_n have_v not_o the_o entire_a
