all_o to_o be_v use_v by_o way_n of_o command_n in_o the_o pure_a spiritual_a kingdom_n of_o christ_n but_o that_o water_n baptism_n be_v at_o a_o end_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o command_n of_o it_o when_o christ_n be_v glorify_v and_o come_v in_o spirit_n as_o all_o other_o ceremony_n type_n and_o figure_n be_v and_o i_o can_v find_v no_o other_o baptism_n in_o christ_n kingdom_n to_o be_v in_o

the_o testimony_n of_o the_o word_n alone_o that_o the_o baptism_n of_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n be_v the_o only_a baptism_n in_o christ_n kingdom_n let_v we_o consider_v the_o testimony_n first_o
