some_o thing_n in_o those_o psalm_n be_v not_o so_o suitable_a to_o our_o present_a case_n so_o it_o be_v in_o what_o we_o read_v yet_o those_o psalm_n be_v very_o suitable_a for_o we_o to_o

be_v very_o likely_a that_o the_o form_n afterward_o use_v by_o john_n and_o his_o disciple_n be_v that_o they_o do_v baptise_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n act._n 19.5_o but_o see_v christ_n do_v express_o command_v his_o apostle_n before_o his_o ascension_n to_o baptise_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o think_v that_o the_o first_o teacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v use_v any_o other_o form_n and_o when_o we_o read_v that_o the_o samaritan_n be_v baptise_a in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n act._n 8.18_o and_o that_o peter_n order_v that_o cornelius_n and_o his_o company_n shall_v be_v baptise_a in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n act._n 10.48_o no_o more_o seem_v to_o be_v intend_v by_o it_o than_o their_o be_v baptise_a according_o to_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n the_o person_n that_o be_v send_v to_o administer_v baptism_n be_v the_o same_o that_o be_v send_v to_o preach_v the_o word_n matth._n 28.19,20_o though_o the_o apostle_n do_v sometime_o decline_v it_o yet_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o conclude_v that_o they_o commit_v it_o to_o inferior_a minister_n after_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n who_o do_v not_o commit_v it_o to_o the_o people_n but_o to_o his_o disciple_n john_n 4.2_o therefore_o such_o preacher_n as_o be_v not_o ordain_v minister_n be_v not_o to_o baptise_v baptism_n may_v be_v administer_v either_o in_o the_o public_a assembly_n or_o in_o private_a there_o be_v no_o appointment_n that_o necessitate_v the_o public_a performance_n of_o it_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o ordinance_n that_o do_v necessitate_v it_o and_o we_o find_v that_o the_o apostle_n and_o apostolical_a man_n do_v it_o as_o there_o
