signification_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n give_v of_o the_o word_n baptise_v ananias_n say_v unto_o paul_n arise_v and_o be_v baptize_v and_o wash_v away_o thy_o sin_n act_n 22._o 11._o which_o wash_v in_o sign_n of_o cleanse_v in_o the_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n may_v be_v do_v with_o water_n in_o a_o basin_n be_v call_v a_o wash_n john_n 13._o 5_o 8._o and_o a_o part_n be_v take_v for_o the_o whole_a as_o shall_v after_o more_o full_o be_v prove_v that_o baptism_n of_o water_n be_v so_o perform_v on_o the_o person_n a_o part_n take_v for_o the_o whole_a but_o since_o extraordinary_a gift_n and_o officer_n be_v cease_v it_o will_v in_o the_o next_o place_n be_v needful_a first_o to_o know_v where_o baptism_n ought_v to_o be_v perform_v second_o who_o be_v the_o true_a administrator_n thereof_o three_o on_o what_o part_n of_o the_o body_n baptism_n of_o water_n aught_o and_o be_v most_o likely_a by_o the_o scripture_n it_o be_v administer_v upon_o you_o bring_v many_o scripture_n to_o show_v that_o person_n that_o be_v baptize_v go_v down_o into_o the_o water_n and_o they_o come_v up_o out_o of_o the_o water_n as_o mat._n 3._o 16._o mark_v 1._o 5._o and_o they_o baptize_v in_o enon_n because_o there_o be_v much_o water_n that_o thus_o the_o scripture_n say_v be_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o the_o person_n be_v dip_v these_o scripture_n speak_v not_o which_o if_o it_o be_v suppose_v that_o they_o be_v dip_v which_o you_o gather_v yet_o that_o do_v not_o prove_v it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o wash_v or_o sprinkle_v in_o baptism_n according_a to_o the_o forego_n ground_n from_o the_o signification_n of_o the_o word_n baptise_v but_o to_o come_v to_o my_o first_o particular_a where_o baptism_n of_o water_n ought_v to_o be_v perform_v it_o be_v evident_a where_o the_o word_n be_v preach_v in_o those_o day_n come_v john_n the_o baptist_n preach_v in_o the_o wilderness_n of_o judea_n then_o go_v out_o to_o he_o jerusalem_n and_o all_o judea_n and_o all_o the_o region_n round_o about_o jordan_n and_o be_v baptize_v of_o he_o in_o jordan_n etc._n etc._n mat._n 3._o 1_o 5_o 6._o so_o that_o it_o do_v appear_v where_o he_o teach_v there_o he_o baptize_v now_o where_o it_o say_v jerusalem_n and_o all_o judea_n be_v baptize_v of_o he_o here_o a_o part_n be_v take_v for_o the_o whole_a as_o do_v appear_v in_o handle_v the_o next_o particular_a and_o so_o we_o may_v understand_v in_o the_o use_n of_o water_n likewise_o where_o the_o eunuch_n be_v convert_v there_o he_o be_v baptize_v for_o say_v he_o here_o be_v water_n what_o do_v hinder_v i_o to_o be_v baptize_v act_n 10._o 36._o likewise_o when_o paul_n preach_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n at_o midnight_n to_o the_o jailor_n the_o text_n say_v he_o take_v they_o the_o same_o hour_n of_o the_o night_n and_o wash_v their_o stripe_n and_o be_v baptize_v he_o and_o all_o his_o straightway_o so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o ground_n to_o think_v that_o see_v that_o the_o apostle_n be_v so_o grievous_o wound_v that_o they_o shall_v go_v at_o midnight_n to_o a_o pond_n or_o river_n up_o to_o the_o middle_a to_o baptize_v the_o jailor_n and_o all_o his_o but_o as_o i_o say_v before_o where_o the_o word_n be_v preach_v and_o conversion_n wrought_v that_o there_o the_o ordinance_n be_v perform_v by_o those_o immediate_o which_o the_o lord_n do_v send_v to_o begin_v that_o work_n moreover_o consider_v before_o the_o tabernacle_n of_o old_a be_v rear_v up_o or_o build_v altar_n be_v build_v at_o several_a time_n by_o several_a person_n extraordinary_o call_v thereunto_o of_o god_n as_o noah_n abraham_n jacob_n and_o the_o like_a but_o when_o the_o tabernacle_n be_v build_v and_o the_o altar_n appoint_v to_o be_v only_o there_o and_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n for_o an●_n of_o god_n people_n to_o offer_v any_o sacrifice_n elsewhere_o levit._n 17._o 1_o 2_o 3_o 4_o 5._o so_o that_o no_o minister_n or_o priest_n of_o god_n then_o be_v to_o perform_v any_o church_n ordinance_n elsewhere_o while_o the_o tabernacle_n do_v continue_v unless_o they_o have_v a_o call_v immediate_o from_o god_n so_o after_o in_o the_o temple_n when_o it_o be_v build_v there_o be_v all_o israel_n to_o bring_v their_o sacrifice_n there_o be_v the_o minister_n to_o wait_v on_o the_o altar_n so_o likewise_o whatsoever_o be_v write_v afore_o time_n be_v write_v for_o our_o learning_n rom._n 15._o 4._o jesus_n christ_n the_o same_o yesterday_o and_o to_o day_n and_o for_o ever_o that_o we_o be_v not_o carry_v about_o with_o divers_a and_o strange_a doctrine_n he._n 13._o 8_o 9_o we_o be_v

the_o apostle_n before_o the_o church_n be_v establish_v in_o gospel_n order_n and_o they_o perform_v the_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n whersoever_o they_o preach_v and_o person_n believe_v but_o when_o by_o these_o wise_a master_n bvilder_n the_o apostle_n the_o church_n be_v plant_v and_o the_o tabernacle_n of_o god_n be_v with_o man_n rev._n 22._o 3._o and_o 13._o 6._o and_o extraordinary_a
