for as the one decreased the other increased as the Sun 's light swallows up the Moon 's for as the Moon has its time of service in which Mankind is much benefited by its Light although it be a borrowed one from the Sun even so was John's Baptism of great Benefit when he preach'd Repentance to the People and Baptized them in Jordan as they confess'd their Sins being the Preparer of the Way of Christ for though he was a burning and shining Light in his Ministry yet he was but a Witness to bear witness of the Light that all Men through him might believe who was the true Light which lighteth every Man that cometh into the World John 1. 7 8 9. This is the Son of Righteousness this is the Lamb of God this is the Baptizer with Holy Ghost and Fire who when he comes the Lesser the Witness the Forerunner the Baptizer with Water must give place too As when the Sun appears in our Horizon the Moon 's light is so overcome that we have no Advantage by it by reason of the more transcending Light of the Sun so that it 's very evident John and Christ's Ministry and Baptisms were as much two distinct Ministrations as John the Son of Zacharias and Jesus of Nazareth the Son of Mary were two distinct Persons or the Sun and Moon are two great yet distinct Lights for the Moon is not the same Light that the Sun is though she has her Light from the Sun nor is John the Baptist's Ministration the same with Christ's though he came from God and had obtained such Credit amongst the People for his time that it was said All Men mused in their Hearts of John whether he were the Christ or no Mat. 3. 15. Nay they were by John himself declared to be two distinct Baptisms as the Text declares he shall c. I do c. mine with Water his with the Holy Ghost See the Text Mat. 3. 11. Mark 1. 8. John 1. 15 to 34. and make the Application But how preposterous is it to think that Christ should send his Disciples in John's Errand or Service who was but the Forerunner for so to do was to set his Disciples to run counter and therefore though the Disciples for the sake of the Jews and new Converted Gentiles did do it it 's plain they did it upon the foot of Discretion and not by Commandment and when these Men of the Circumcision as well as the Gentiles had received the Holy Ghost by the Apostles Ministry since Baptizing with Water was practiced amongst them from John's Example the Apostle did say Who can forbid Water c. but that this proves the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and Baptism of Water to be but one Baptism I deny as I do also that this Practice proves it to be of Divine Institution notwithstanding it was not then forbidden but they went into the Water and were Baptized Again there is a vast difference between receiving the Gift of the Spirit by the Ministry of the Disciples and a being Baptized by the same Spirit for by the Gift received they came unto a Convinc'd Estate which Convincement was wrought by the Holy Ghost through the Apostles Ministry and was to them the Glad-tydings of Salvation if from that state of Convincement they prest on to a thorough Conversion So that the receiving of the Holy Ghost mentioned in that Text may be very aptly compared to the Leaven in the Parable Mat. 13. 33. Luke 13. 20 21. which as it is subjected to leavens the whole Lump and Plunges or Baptizeth the Soul with all its Faculties into its own Nature and this is the Baptism we own it being that of the Holy Ghost But to winde up the whole matter if Mat. 28. 19 20. was a Commission to the Disciples to Baptize with Water then they were obliged to perform it in the Terms of that Commission But they never performed it in the Terms of that Communion Therefore c. Again the Terms of that Commission was to Baptize in the Name of the Father Son and Holy Ghost But the Disciples Baptized none with Water in the Name of the Father Son and Holy Ghost Therefore c. And so I end this part and shall only add with respect to breaking Bread and drinking Wine in a Sacramental way as they call it that we have disused it because we do certainly know that to us the Substance is come the Heavenly Bread and Wine of the Kingdom to our great Joy and Refreshment which are the Principal Memento's to us of the breaking of Christ's Body and shedding his most Precious Blood for us And as often as we are made Partakers hereof we shew forth his Death and bear in our Bodies the Marks of the Dying of the Lord Jesus which Marks are a Death to Sin and a New Life to Holiness for he was Crucified for our Sins and Rose again for our Justification as well as a perfect Resignation to the Will of God For though our Adversaries have set times for the Receiving of what they call the Lord's Supper and without doubt such set times are to them the most Religious and Sacred part of their Devotion and we have not yet let it be known to them that there are certain Times and Seasons that are more than in the common or ordinary way Sacred to us but these Times and Seasons are in the Father's Hands and not ours and for them we wait in all our Religious Meetings and though we do not always Enjoy what we wait for yet we meet with so much Encouragement as to continue our Waiting and Attention until He we wait for who is the Bread of Life indeed is pleased to make himself known to us by a Spiritual breaking of Bread and therefore what need is there for such to use the Outward and Visible Sign when the Inward and Spiritual Substance is come But for all those that are not come to this Substance but are Religiously and Devoutly Travelling after it and hope to get it with the Visible Sign we are not for being Censorious upon them knowing that the Light of a Candle Moon or Stars are serviceable till the Suns light break forth and overcome it all I have but one Point more to speak to and then I shall end and that is about the Light within which our Adversary saith page 78. we commonly understand by it Conscience now that this Man should so affirm when in page 79. he pretends to have read R. B. upon it shews his wilful Blindness Ignorance and Envy for he that has read R. B's Apology and shall yet say That the Quakers understand by the Light Conscience must be Mad Envious or Foolish but if he were not all three think you he would in page 78. say They understand by the Light Conscience and in page 79. say Some Friends makes it God but R. B. a Substance and calls it Vehiculum Dei this is the Man that will
