ourselves_o to_o their_o institution_n and_o guidance_n not_o as_o to_o creature_n but_o as_o to_o god_n who_o be_v both_o the_o author_n and_o the_o object_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o worship_n no_o man_n must_v religious_o consecrate_v himself_o to_o a_o creature_n for_o that_o be_v idolatry_n even_o among_o the_o pagan_n their_o mystery_n terminate_v on_o their_o god_n and_o they_o be_v initiate_v by_o they_o into_o the_o worship_n of_o that_o god_n who_o mystery_n they_o be_v and_o it_o be_v never_o know_v yet_o that_o man_n devote_v themselves_o to_o the_o institution_n and_o guidance_n of_o any_o human_a doctor_n or_o master_n by_o religious_a ceremony_n now_o if_o baptism_n be_v a_o religious_a rite_n god_n and_o creature_n can_v never_o be_v make_v the_o joint_a object_n of_o religion_n and_o therefore_o the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n must_v be_v one_o god_n with_o the_o father_n i_o desire_v to_o know_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n be_v it_o only_o to_o take_v he_o for_o our_o instructor_n and_o guide_n or_o be_v it_o to_o worship_n and_o obey_v he_o for_o our_o god_n and_o why_o then_o do_v not_o the_o same_o word_n in_o the_o same_o religious_a act_n signify_v the_o same_o thing_n when_o apply_v to_o the_o son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n as_o they_o do_v when_o apply_v to_o the_o father_n let_v they_o show_v i_o any_o one_o instance_n in_o scripture_n where_o a_o creature_n be_v join_v with_o god_n in_o any_o act_n of_o worship_n much_o less_o in_o the_o fundamental_a contract_n of_o worship_n if_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v wherein_o we_o devote_v and_o consecrate_v ourselves_o too_o god_n our_o author_n with_o his_o usual_a assurance_n add_v it_o be_v in_o vain_a not_o to_o say_v ridiculous_o pretend_v that_o a_o person_n or_o thing_n be_v god_n because_o we_o be_v baptize_v into_o it_o or_o in_o the_o name_n of_o it_o for_o then_o moses_n and_o john_n baptist_n also_o will_v be_v god_n our_o father_n be_v all_o baptize_v unto_o moses_n unto_o what_o then_o be_v you_o baptize_v 2._o and_o they_o say_v unto_o john_n be_v baptism_n 3._o that_o be_v say_v the_o generality_n of_o interpreter_n unto_o john_n and_o the_o doctrine_n by_o he_o deliver_v but_o in_o the_o first_o place_n he_o misrepresents_a the_o argument_n which_o be_v that_o the_o son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n be_v god_n because_o we_o be_v baptize_v in_o their_o name_n as_o we_o be_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o together_o with_o he_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o i_o confess_v he_o have_v answer_v this_o argument_n can_v he_o have_v show_v we_o that_o the_o jew_n be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o in_o the_o name_n of_o moses_n for_o that_o have_v join_v moses_n with_o god_n as_o our_o saviour_n join_v the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n with_o the_o father_n in_o the_o form_n of_o baptism_n but_o he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o do_v this_o that_o in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o observe_v that_o the_o jew_n never_o be_v literal_o baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o moses_n or_o in_o the_o name_n of_o john_n as_o christian_n be_v by_o our_o saviour_n institution_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n moses_n do_v not_o baptise_v the_o jew_n at_o all_o much_o less_o in_o his_o own_o name_n though_o st._n paul_n observe_v that_o they_o have_v a_o kind_n of_o mystical_a baptism_n under_o moses_n in_o the_o cloud_n and_o in_o the_o sea_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o to_o baptize_v into_o moses_n be_v a_o figurative_a and_o allusive_a expression_n and_o do_v not_o and_o can_v signify_v that_o they_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o moses_n because_o it_o be_v not_o true_a for_o though_o we_o shall_v grant_v 27._o as_o he_o argue_v that_o to_o be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n and_o baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n signify_v the_o same_o thing_n when_o man_n be_v literal_o baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o demonstration_n that_o to_o be_v baptize_v into_o moses_n and_o baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o moses_n can_v signify_v the_o same_o thing_n because_o those_o who_o be_v mystical_o baptize_v into_o moses_n never_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o moses_n and_o it_o be_v burlesque_a scripture_n to_o make_v any_o phrase_n and_o expression_n signify_v that_o which_o never_o be_v i_o will_v only_o ask_v this_o author_n whether_o the_o jew_n be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o moses_n if_o they_o be_v not_o let_v he_o tell_v i_o how_o their_o be_v baptize_v into_o moses_n come_v to_o signify_v their_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o moses_n can_v the_o apostle_n mean_v by_o this_o phrase_n that_o they_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o moses_n that_o be_v can_v the_o apostle_n mean_v what_o he_o know_v be_v not_o true_a and_o yet_o i_o deny_v that_o to_o be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n and_o baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n signify_v the_o same_o thing_n for_o to_o be_v baptize_v into_o jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o relate_v to_o the_o form_n of_o administer_a baptism_n in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n but_o to_o the_o effect_n of_o it_o in_o unite_n we_o to_o christ_n and_o incorporate_n we_o with_o he_o as_o member_n of_o his_o body_n 4._o which_o induce_v a_o obligation_n of_o a_o spiritual_a conformity_n to_o his_o death_n in_o die_v to_o sin_n and_o live_v to_o god_n and_o thus_o the_o israelite_n be_v baptize_v into_o moses_n or_o into_o the_o moysaicall_a covenant_n not_o by_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o moses_n but_o by_o mystical_a sacrament_n the_o cloud_n which_o over-shadowed_n and_o guide_v they_o and_o the_o red-sea_n which_o divide_v and_o give_v they_o safe_a passage_n but_o drown_v the_o egyptians_n be_v type_n and_o figure_n of_o the_o christian_a baptism_n but_o i_o shall_v not_o spend_v time_n in_o explain_v this_o now_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v nothing_o to_o our_o present_a argument_n thus_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o to_o be_v baptize_v into_o john_n be_v baptism_n do_v not_o signify_v to_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o john_n for_o john_n do_v not_o baptize_v in_o his_o own_o name_n but_o make_v proselyte_n to_o the_o messiah_n as_o the_o apostle_n add_v john_n very_o baptize_v with_o the_o baptism_n of_o repentance_n say_v unto_o the_o people_n 4._o that_o they_o shall_v believe_v on_o he_o who_o shall_v come_v after_o he_o that_o be_v on_o christ_n jesus_n be_v not_o these_o now_o admirable_a proof_n that_o we_o may_v be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o creature_n because_o the_o israelite_n be_v mystical_o baptize_v into_o moses_n who_o never_o literal_o baptize_v any_o much_o less_o in_o his_o own_o name_n and_o that_o the_o disciple_n of_o john_n be_v baptize_v into_o john_n baptism_n that_o be_v into_o john_n and_o that_o be_v in_o the_o name_n of_o john_n which_o we_o know_v he_o never_o do_v and_o yet_o the_o socinian_o who_o deny_v the_o personality_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n make_v this_o form_n of_o baptism_n infinite_o more_o absurd_a still_o the_o holy_a ghost_n they_o say_v be_v not_o a_o person_n but_o the_o power_n and_o inspiration_n of_o god_n now_o be_v it_o not_o very_o absurd_a that_o the_o power_n and_o inspiration_n of_o god_n which_o be_v not_o a_o person_n shall_v be_v join_v in_o the_o same_o form_n with_o father_n and_o son_n who_o be_v person_n be_v not_o this_o like_a swear_a allegiance_n to_o the_o king_n and_o to_o his_o son_n and_o to_o his_o power_n or_o to_o his_o wisdom_n the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v plain_o distinguish_v from_o the_o father_n and_o from_o the_o son_n and_o it_o seem_v have_v a_o distinct_a name_n of_o its_o own_o into_o which_o we_o be_v baptize_v now_o if_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v not_o a_o person_n i_o desire_v to_o know_v how_o the_o power_n and_o inspiration_n of_o god_n be_v so_o distinct_a from_o the_o father_n as_o to_o justify_v our_o be_v distinct_o baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n or_o of_o his_o power_n or_o inspiration_n to_o be_v baptize_v into_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v sufficient_a to_o convince_v any_o man_n who_o be_v not_o resolve_v against_o be_v convince_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v a_o person_n as_o father_n and_o son_n be_v
