of_o christ_n because_o that_o they_o be_v his_o who_o but_o antichrist_n will_v forbid_v they_o to_o be_v baptize_v it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v then_o that_o in_o augustine_n time_n many_o be_v exceed_v negligent_a about_o the_o sacrament_n much_o which_o thing_n have_v cause_v the_o ancient_a father_n to_o magnify_v the_o same_o so_o much_o and_o therefore_o they_o that_o do_v come_v

whereby_o it_o do_v come_v to_o pass_v at_o length_n that_o they_o do_v make_v plain_a ydol_n of_o the_o sacrament_n as_o though_o the_o virtue_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n and_o the_o whole_a

this_o life_n clean_a and_o pure_a from_o all_o sin_n yea_o many_o which_o thing_n be_v worse_a do_v take_v upon_o that_o hope_n the_o great_a boldness_n to_o sin_n which_o thing_n do_v move_v s._n

that_o be_v of_o age_n do_v defer_v and_o prolong_v their_o baptism_n so_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o they_o do_v the_o like_a in_o their_o own_o child_n for_o the_o cause_n above_o rehearse_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_v if_o saint_n augustine_n or_o any_o other_o in_o his_o name_n whosoever_o he_o be_v have_v write_v and_o speak_v this_o of_o baptism_n
