right_a hand_n of_o god_n it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o believe_v that_o the_o phoenomenon_n or_o extraordinary_a apparition_n of_o light_n that_o be_v then_o behold_v by_o the_o spectator_n do_v

concern_v which_o it_o will_v be_v as_o proper_a to_o speak_v in_o the_o review_n or_o application_n of_o this_o text_n unto_o the_o present_a occasion_n unto_o which_o i_o shall_v now_o address_v myself_o review_n the_o review_n when_o i_o consider_v how_o our_o saviour_n be_v baptize_v not_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o we_o and_o how_o he_o do_v submit_v himself_o to_o this_o rite_n that_o by_o his_o example_n as_o well_o as_o precept_n and_o institution_n he_o may_v consign_v the_o use_n of_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n unto_o his_o church_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n i_o doubt_v not_o at_o all_o to_o affirm_v that_o one_o main_a end_n of_o the_o happen_v of_o these_o great_a miracle_n and_o ostent_n at_o this_o time_n be_v that_o they_o may_v serve_v as_o so_o many_o

especial_o it_o be_v assent_v to_o as_o a_o undoubted_a verity_n by_o all_o christian_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o ritual_o prescribe_v or_o supernatural_o happen_v in_o scripture_n but_o relate_v either_o to_o something_o of_o duty_n or_o something_o of_o benefit_n in_o the_o church_n insomuch_o that_o st._n paul_n speak_v of_o the_o baptism_n of_o the_o israelite_n under_o moses_n in_o the_o

digression_n in_o order_n to_o my_o present_a design_n which_o be_v to_o show_v that_o the_o same_o spirit_n which_o do_v accompany_v christ_n in_o his_o baptism_n do_v still_o accompany_v the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o in_o the_o right_a use_n of_o that_o sacrament_n christ_n be_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n according_a to_o his_o promise_n still_o present_a with_o his_o church_n and_o will_v be_v so_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o that_o the_o same_o miraculous_a effect_n that_o be_v perform_v when_o he_o be_v baptise_a be_v still_o perform_v in_o the_o due_a administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n though_o not_o in_o a_o visible_a yet_o in_o a_o real_a manner_n that_o therein_o or_o thereby_o heaven_n be_v open_v that_o therein_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v confer_v and_o last_o that_o as_o christ_n in_o his_o be_v proclaim_v to_o be_v the_o son_n so_o christian_n in_o their_o baptism_n be_v receive_v admit_v and_o take_v into_o the_o
