difficulty_n be_v no_o disproof_n and_o so_o while_o the_o command_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o his_o apostle_n and_o of_o all_o the_o christian_a world_n in_o pursuance_n of_o that_o

object_v only_o the_o single_a word_n baptise_v and_o why_o then_o must_v they_o construe_v these_o two_o text_n only_o of_o all_o the_o rest_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o mean_a water-baptism_n why_o but_o only_o to_o strain_v a_o objection_n out_o of_o they_o against_o water-baptism_n but_o will_v they_o let_v the_o word_n baptise_v signify_v water-baptism_n in_o other_o place_n as_o well_o as_o in_o these_o they_o can_v refuse_v it_o with_o any_o show_n or_o colour_n of_o reason_n they_o must_v not_o refuse_v it_o in_o act_n xviii_o 8._o where_o the_o baptise_v of_o crispus_n mention_v

believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v by_o which_o the_o quaker_n can_v deny_v water-baptism_n to_o be_v mean_v since_o they_o construe_v it_o so_o 1_o cor._n i_o 14._o second_o we_o may_v further_o observe_v that_o in_o the_o text_n act_v xviii_o 8._o crispus_n be_v only_o say_v to_o have_v believe_v which_o be_v think_v sufficient_a to_o infer_v that_o he_o be_v baptize_v which_o can_v not_o

be_v you_o baptize_v suppose_v that_o they_o have_v be_v baptize_v three_o here_o then_o this_o objection_n of_o the_o quaker_n have_v turn_v into_o a_o invincible_a argument_n against_o they_o they_o have_v by_o this_o yield_v the_o whole_a cause_n for_o if_o the_o baptism_n 1_o cor._n i_o 14._o be_v water-baptism_n than_o that_o baptism_n act_v xviii_o 8._o must_v be_v the_o same_o and_o

change_v their_o mind_n the_o thing_n show_v itself_o that_o the_o baptism_n mention_v 1_o cor._n i_o 14._o be_v water-baptism_n because_o paul_n there_o thank_v god_n that_o he_o baptize_v none_o

that_o he_o have_v not_o make_v disciple_n to_o himself_o but_o to_o christ_n because_o he_o do_v not_o baptize_v they_o in_o his_o own_o name_n but_o in_o christ_n now_o this_o have_v be_v no_o
