they_o be_v all_o this_o i_o confess_v if_o they_o be_v receive_v in_o faith_n so_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o virtue_n which_o be_v in_o all_o kind_n of_o sacrament_n the_o next_o part_n of_o my_o

and_o repentance_n can_v be_v teach_v without_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n in_o his_o blood_n take_v they_o two_o away_o and_o repentance_n be_v but_o a_o lesson_n of_o

john_n do_v preach_v the_o baptism_n of_o repentance_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o indeed_o no_o man_n can_v separate_v true_a repentance_n from_o remission_n of_o sin_n at_o what_o time_n soever_o a_o sinner_n do_v repent_v he_o etc._n etc._n 2._o the_o scope_n of_o his_o baptism_n be_v to_o warn_v man_n to_o fly_v from_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v that_o be_v the_o true_a wash_n of_o the_o spirit_n say_v he_o to_o the_o pharisee_n when_o they_o come_v to_o he_o to_o jordan_n o_o you_o generation_n of_o viper_n who_o have_v warn_v you_o to_o fly_v from_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v 3._o our_o saviour_n fortel_v to_o his_o disciple_n that_o the_o time_n be_v come_v at_o the_o feast_n of_o pentecost_n when_o they_o shall_v have_v a_o great_a blessing_n from_o heaven_n than_o ever_o they_o have_v before_o act_v xv_o john_n true_o baptize_v with_o water_n but_o you_o shall_v be_v baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n not_o many_o day_n hence_o then_o the_o disciple_n have_v no_o other_o baptism_n but_o john_n until_o they_o be_v baptize_v with_o fire_n and_o sure_o they_o have_v a_o true_a and_o a_o efficacious_a baptism_n so_o apollo_n know_v of_o no_o other_o baptism_n but_o john_n act_n xviii_o 25._o and_o yet_o we_o do_v not_o find_v that_o he_o be_v sprinkle_v with_o any_o other_o baptism_n 4._o this_o reason_n be_v of_o great_a weight_n if_o john_n be_v not_o the_o true_a baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o christ_n receive_v then_o either_o all_o we_o have_v receive_v a_o baptism_n divers_a from_o our_o saviour_n which_o be_v very_o comfortless_a or_o else_o we_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v every_o whit_n as_o comfortless_a 5._o john_n baptize_v at_o the_o same_o time_n while_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n do_v baptize_v even_o till_o the_o time_n that_o he_o be_v shut_v up_o in_o prison_n by_o herod_n and_o this_o he_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v do_v if_o his_o wash_n have_v be_v uneffectual_a but_o to_o have_v it_o lay_v down_o when_o a_o more_o perfect_a sacrament_n be_v a_o foot_n these_o be_v the_o reason_n sufficient_a as_o i_o suppose_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n have_v the_o same_o substantial_a virtue_n with_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n this_o be_v that_o opinion_n against_o which_o the_o tridentine_a council_n do_v thunder_n forth_o

with_o internal_a grace_n belove_a i_o conceive_v it_o be_v call_v john_n baptism_n not_o as_o if_o it_o want_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n from_o above_o for_o the_o pharisee_n dare_v not_o reply_v to_o our_o saviour_n question_n that_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n be_v from_o heaven_n and_o not_o from_o man_n but_o because_o it_o begin_v with_o john_n even_o as_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v call_v

the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v not_o another_o baptism_n but_o a_o heavenly_a blessing_n upon_o the_o baptism_n of_o water_n and_o it_o comprehend_v all_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o new_a

the_o baptism_n of_o john_n be_v baptize_v again_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n as_o if_o john_n wash_n have_v be_v a_o watery_a meteor_n rather_o than_o a_o baptism_n of_o many_o

apocryphal_a story_n say_v that_o christ_n baptize_v his_o mother_n st._n peter_n yea_o and_o john_n baptist_n himself_o yet_o the_o scripture_n say_v he_o baptize_v no_o man_n but_o where_o a_o

therefore_o to_o correct_v that_o fundamental_a error_n it_o may_v be_v the_o disciple_n of_o ephesus_n be_v baptize_v again_o second_o i_o see_v no_o exception_n at_o this_o answer_n that_o the_o disciple_n of_o ephesus_n be_v only_o baptize_v in_o john_n baptism_n and_o paul_n teach_v that_o all_o who_o john_n baptize_v be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n therefore_o at_o your_o leisure_n mark_v the_o five_o verse_n of_o that_o chapter_n act_n nineteeen_o that_o they_o be_v the_o word_n of_o paul_n preach_v how_o john_n baptize_v not_o the_o word_n of_o st._n
