every_o thing_n almost_o among_o they_o be_v a_o sign_n or_o figure_n of_o something_o to_o come_v upon_o the_o world_n how_o many_o of_o their_o lie_a prophet_n have_v call_v themselves_o sign_n to_o

but_o as_o a_o commemoration_n of_o what_o be_v past_a viz._n of_o god_n rest_n from_o his_o work_n of_o creation_n and_o by_o the_o alteration_n of_o the_o day_n of_o the_o sabbath_n it_o serve_v

eternal_a bliss_n in_o heaven_n now_o so_o long_o as_o the_o work_v of_o our_o creation_n and_o redemption_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v in_o memory_n so_o long_o be_v the_o sabbath_n to_o continue_v as_o a_o commemoration_n of_o these_o inestimable_a benefit_n and_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n so_o long_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o commemorate_v the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n so_o long_o

which_o be_v mention_v in_o the_o four_o chapter_n and_o then_o the_o consequence_n will_v only_o be_v this_o that_o at_o some_o time_n christ_n do_v baptise_v himself_o and_o at_o other_o time_n he_o leave_v it_o to_o his_o disciple_n though_o as_o to_o our_o argument_n it_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n whether_o he_o do_v it_o himself_o or_o command_v his_o disciple_n to_o do_v it_o for_o either_o way_n it_o be_v his_o baptism_n his_o only_a his_o disciple_n do_v but_o administer_v what_o he_o command_v ii_o as_o christ_n himself_o do_v baptise_v with_o water_n and_o his_o disciple_n by_o his_o commandment_n while_o he_o be_v with_o they_o upon_o earth_n so_o do_v his_o apostle_n and_o other_o thereunto_o by_o they_o commissionated_a after_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n by_o virtue_n of_o his_o command_n to_o they_o matth._n xxviii_o 19_o after_o he_o be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a what_o be_v say_v above_o of_o the_o etymology_n and_o true_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n baptise_v be_v of_o itself_o sufficient_a to_o prove_v that_o by_o baptism_n in_o this_o text_n the_o outward_a baptism_n with_o water_n be_v mean_v especial_o till_o the_o quaker_n can_v show_v any_o

very_o hard_a to_o do_v since_o as_o it_o be_v just_a now_o prove_v that_o christ_n do_v baptise_v with_o water_n as_o well_o as_o john_n and_o what_o absurdity_n or_o contradiction_n can_v be_v allege_v that_o his_o apostle_n shall_v administer_v the_o same_o sort_n of_o baptism_n after_o his_o death_n as_o he_o have_v practise_v and_o command_v during_o his_o life_n nay_o rather_o what_o reason_n can_v be_v give_v why_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v the_o same_o since_o the_o same_o word_n i._n e._n baptise_v be_v use_v in_o both_o and_o no_o new_a sense_n or_o acceptation_n of_o the_o

i_o will_v demonstrate_v yet_o more_o full_o and_o plain_o that_o the_o apostle_n do_v practise_v the_o outward_a i._n e._n water-baptism_n after_o christ_n death_n act_n x._o 27._o can_v any_o man_n
