17_o 18._o i_o pray_v you_o observe_v what_o our_o saviour_n say_v in_o s._n mathews_n gospel_n moreover_o when_o you_o fast_o be_v not_o as_o the_o hypoerite_n of_o a_o sad_a countenance_n for_o

from_o whence_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o our_o obligation_n to_o pay_v our_o vow_n do_v in_o nothing_o repugn_v or_o straighten_v our_o christian_a liberty_n no_o more_o than_o our_o obligation_n to_o

of_o our_o vow_n it_o be_v true_a the_o evangelicall_n counfell_n be_v at_o first_o free_a but_o after_o a_o promise_n be_v once_o make_v they_o become_v obligatory_a shall_v we_o make_v a_o

the_o vow_n be_v once_o make_v be_v so_o necessary_a that_o a_o man_n can_v recede_v from_o it_o without_o hazard_n of_o his_o salvation_n our_o saviour_n say_v that_o no_o man_n set_v his_o hand_n

of_o those_o legality_n we_o find_v again_o in_o the_o last_o of_o st._n matthew_n christ_n say_v to_o his_o disciple_n go_v you_o therefore_o and_o teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o in_o the_o

which_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v confer_v and_o that_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v a_o sacrament_n again_o we_o find_v in_o another_o chapter_n of_o the_o same_o act_n 6._o act._n 19.2.3_o 4_o 5_o 6._o that_o paul_n be_v at_o ephesus_n and_o find_v some_o disciple_n there_o say_v unto_o they_o have_v you_o receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n since_o ●e_v believe_v and_o they_o say_v

then_o last_o of_o all_o look_n into_o st._n john_n gospel_n and_o you_o will_v find_v yet_o a_o more_o express_a ordination_n and_o mission_n as_o my_o father_n h●th_v since_o i_o so_o send_v i_o

first_o all_o the_o ancient_a heresy_n that_o have_v be_v condemn_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o counsel_n and_o cast_v out_o of_o the_o church_n may_v be_v revive_v and_o reinforce_v upon_o

to_o the_o first_o i_o say_v that_o you_o be_v very_o much_o mistake_v in_o matter_n of_o scripture_n so_o i_o shall_v be_v bold_a to_o enlarge_v a_o little_a upon_o it_o for_o your_o better_a

yet_o further_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o scripture_n itself_o can_v be_v authentical_a without_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n for_o the_o canonical_a writer_n themselves_o be_v but_o
