that_o it_o be_v a_o visible_a sign_n of_o invisible_a grace_n have_v occasion_v the_o misunderstanding_n of_o both_o sacrament_n as_o if_o they_o sign_v a_o divine_a benefit_n not_o our_o duty_n to_o

they_o be_v not_o because_o the_o baptism_n be_v good_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o administration_n of_o it_o but_o because_o the_o faith_n mention_v in_o the_o form_n of_o baptism_n be_v good_a &_o
