will_v do_v if_o i_o be_v write_v to_o any_o other_o but_o i_o think_v i_o have_v say_v enough_o even_o to_o they_o to_o show_v that_o the_o mean_v of_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o text_n be_v only_o to_o prefer_v the_o office_n of_o preach_v before_o that_o of_o baptise_v but_o i_o must_v withal_o desire_v they_o to_o take_v notice_n that_o the_o preach_a that_o be_v publish_v of_o the_o gospel_n at_o first_o to_o heathen_n be_v a_o very_a different_a thing_n and_o of_o much_o great_a necessity_n than_o those_o set_a discourse_n which_o we_o now_o call_v preach_v in_o christian_a auditory_n xiii_o let_v i_o to_o conclude_v add_v one_o argument_n more_o from_o this_o text_n 1_o cor._n i_o 17._o why_o that_o baptism_n mention_v matth._n xxviii_o 19_o can_v be_v mean_v of_o the_o baptism_n

then_o the_o apostle_n paul_n say_v in_o this_o text_n 1_o cor._n i_o 17._o that_o he_o be_v not_o send_v to_o baptise_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o sense_n since_o the_o quaker_n will_v not_o own_o they_o can_v reconcile_v these_o text_n without_o confess_v that_o that_o text_n matth._n xxviii_o 19_o be_v not_o mean_v of_o the_o baptism_n with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o then_o it_o must_v be_v mean_v of_o the_o water-baptism_n sect_n viii_o objection_n from_o 1_o pet._n three_o 21._o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n be_v these_o the_o like_a figure_n whereunto_o i._n e._n the_o ark_n even_o baptism_n do_v also_o now_o save_v we_o not_o the_o put_v away_o of_o the_o filth_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n towards_o god_n by_o the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n from_o whence_o the_o quaker_n argue_v thus_o that_o baptism_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o the_o outward_a wash_v but_o the_o inward_a and_o so_o far_o they_o argue_v right_a that_o the_o inward_a be_v the_o chief_a and_o principal_a part_n and_o therefore_o that_o if_o any_o regard_n only_o the_o outward_a wash_v of_o the_o skin_n in_o baptism_n they_o be_v indeed_o frustrate_v of_o the_o whole_a benefit_n of_o it_o which_o be_v altogether_o spiritual_a and_o it_o have_v be_v observe_v sect._n vii_o latter_a part_n of_o numb_a seven_o that_o if_o only_o the_o outward_a part_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n or_o circumcision_n and_o other_o institution_n under_o the_o law_n be_v regard_v they_o be_v hateful_a to_o god_n and_o he_o reject_v they_o though_o at_o the_o same_o time_n he_o command_v the_o performance_n of_o they_o under_o the_o penalty_n of_o death_n thus_o it_o be_v in_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o inward_a and_o spiritual_a part_n be_v the_o chief_a and_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o which_o only_o the_o outward_a be_v command_v but_o this_o make_v the_o outward_a necessary_a instead_o of_o throw_v it_o off_o because_o as_o it_o be_v under_o the_o law_n the_o outward_a be_v ordain_v as_o a_o mean_n whereby_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o inward_a and_o therefore_o if_o we_o neglect_v and_o despise_v the_o outward_a when_o we_o may_v have_v it_o we_o have_v no_o promise_n in_o the_o gospel_n to_o entitle_v we_o to_o the_o inward_a as_o he_o that_o neglect_v the_o mean_n have_v no_o reason_n to_o expect_v the_o end_n it_o be_v true_a a_o miracle_n may_v do_v it_o but_o it_o be_v presumption_n and_o tempt_v of_o god_n to_o neglect_v the_o outward_a mean_n of_o god_n appointment_n in_o expectation_n of_o his_o miraculus_fw-la interposition_n against_o the_o method_n which_o he_o have_v command_v as_o if_o provoke_v of_o god_n do_v entitle_v we_o the_o more_o to_o his_o

ark_n be_v put_v only_o as_o a_o type_n of_o baptism_n therefore_o baptism_n be_v the_o more_o worthy_a and_o more_o necessary_a and_o to_o neglect_v baptism_n be_v to_o venture_v swim_v in_o the_o

that_o say_v the_o christian_n have_v but_o one_o baptism_n as_o they_o have_v but_o one_o lord_n and_z one_o faith_n ii_o i_o answer_v outward_a and_o inward_a be_v two_o thing_n but_o yet_o they_o
