be_v instruct_v in_o his_o covenant_n true_a it_o be_v these_o word_n they_o do_v promise_v and_o vow_v three_o thing_n in_o my_o name_n do_v seem_v to_o import_v something_o more_o as_o if_o the_o

which_o as_o it_o lay_v a_o very_a great_a and_o weighty_a charge_n upon_o surety_n too_o much_o it_o be_v think_v for_o any_o one_o to_o undertake_v for_o another_o so_o i_o be_o not_o willing_a to_o

as_o i_o humble_o conceive_v these_o will_n for_o to_o do_v a_o thing_n in_o one_o name_n especial_o in_o the_o transact_n of_o covenant_n where_o privilege_n and_o advantage_n accrue_v thereby_o be_v to_o act_v as_o a_o proxy_n in_o the_o other_o stead_n in_o the_o act_n as_o such_o in_o any_o covenant_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o absence_n or_o minority_n or_o other_o incapacity_n of_o the_o person_n main_o concern_v it_o be_v very_o usual_a for_o the_o proxy_n so_o to_o personate_v the_o covenant_a party_n himself_o as_o if_o he_o be_v the_o person_n who_o he_o represent_v and_o thus_o these_o word_n they_o do_v promise_n and_o vow_v three_o thing_n in_o my_o namr_n shall_v be_v understand_v to_o mean_v no_o more_o than_o this_o that_o i_o be_v uncapable_a myself_o by_o reason_n of_o my_o infancy_n to_o express_v my_o consent_n to_o my_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n my_o godfather_n and_o godmother_n be_v my_o mouth_n who_o do_v it_o for_o i_o now_o this_o i_o do_v indeed_o take_v to_o be_v part_n of_o the_o sense_n but_o not_o the_o whole_a importance_n for_o then_o there_o will_v be_v no_o engagement_n to_o any_o thing_n on_o the_o godfather_n and_o godmother_n part_v whereas_o they_o be_v something_o more_o than_o mere_a proxy_n and_o be_v real_o and_o true_o surety_n for_o something_o to_o be_v do_v though_o not_o perhaps_o that_o the_o person_n baptize_v shall_v

instruction_n be_v the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o duty_n of_o godfather_n and_o godmother_n for_o the_o best_a way_n i_o conceive_v to_o understand_v the_o meaning_n of_o any_o author_n in_o word_n
