ministration_n certain_o which_o he_o call_v earthly_a in_o comparison_n of_o christ_n so_o that_o the_o baptist_n in_o his_o watery_a dispensation_n do_v but_o fore-run_n christ_n in_o reference_n

be_v no_o other_o baptism_n than_o that_o of_o water_n as_o there_o be_v several_a it_o must_v at_o least_o be_v allow_v to_o be_v a_o question_n what_o baptism_n christ_n mean_v in_o that_o commission_n when_o he_o say_v go_v you_o therefore_o and_o teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n but_o it_o may_v be_v return_v upon_o i_o nor_o do_v the_o text_n say_v it_o be_v the_o baptism_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o so_o the_o bishop_n be_v upon_o equal_a term_n with_o i_o grant_v it_o that_o the_o word_n holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o literal_o join_v to_o baptise_v any_o more_o than_o the_o word_n water_n in_o that_o part_n but_o if_o i_o be_o able_a to_o show_v that_o the_o thing_n be_v there_o and_o that_o the_o baptism_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v the_o subject_a of_o christ_n discourse_n when_o he_o give_v that_o commission_n at_o his_o farewell_n i_o presume_v it_o will_v be_v grant_v i_o that_o christ_n intend_v a_o spiritual_a and_o not_o a_o water_n baptism_n and_o that_o be_v what_o i_o shall_v do_v i_o hope_v with_o much_o clearness_n first_o the_o fact_n and_o then_o my_o argument_n matthew_n the_o evangelist_n large_a in_o his_o history_n upon_o other_o point_n seem_v short_a and_o abrupt_a in_o the_o context_n of_o this_o commission_n as_o the_o reader_n may_v observe_v and_o as_o it_o be_v usual_a for_o one_o evangelist_n to_o explain_v another_o which_o be_v the_o great_a wisdom_n as_o well_o as_o goodness_n of_o god_n that_o those_o christian_a memorial_n might_n come_v with_o less_o suspicion_n to_o the_o world_n of_o any_o humane_a contrivance_n so_o luke_n supply_v the_o shortness_n of_o the_o other_o evangelist_n in_o his_o context_n to_o this_o commission_n luke_n 24._o 45_o to_o 50._o particular_o the_o 47_o 48_o 49._o verse_n and_o ●hat_n repentance_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n shall_v be_v preach_v in_o his_o name_n among_o all_o nation_n begin_v

until_o you_o be_v endue_v with_o power_n from_o on_o high_a where_o as_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o this_o evangelist_n in_o his_o account_n of_o christ_n commission_n to_o wit_n the_o work_n christ_n give_v his_o disciple_n to_o do_v name_v no_o baptise_v at_o all_o though_o that_o which_o it_o imply_v in_o my_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n be_v there_o viz._n the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n

of_o this_o evangelist_n chap._n 1._o 4_o 5._o where_o he_o further_o open_v the_o manner_n and_o matter_n of_o christ_n discourse_n and_o farewell_o to_o his_o disciple_n and_o christ_n be_v

baptism_n it_o be_v that_o christ_n word_n mat._n 28._o 19_o refer_v to_o since_o we_o see_v not_o only_o that_o christ_n distinguish_v between_o john_n baptism_n and_o his_o own_o and_o between_o water_n and_o holy_a ghost_n but_o also_o he_o assign_v water_n baptism_n to_o john_n as_o his_o baptism_n and_o not_o christ_n and_o thereby_o declare_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o be_v his_o own_o

4_o 5._o we_o may_v see_v if_o we_o please_v that_o the_o commission_n in_o the_o one_o be_v to_o be_v explain_v by_o the_o qualification_n in_o the_o other_o which_o be_v omit_v by_o the_o first_o
