continue_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n i_o prove_v it_o first_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o divine_a appointment_n belong_v to_o the_o new_a testament_n but_o that_o be_v with_o water_n matth._n 3.11_o mark_v 1.8_o therefore_o baptism_n with_o water_n be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o divine_a institution_n belong_v to_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o scripture_n cite_v prove_v the_o minor_a i_o prove_v the_o major_a for_o that_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n be_v of_o divine_a appointment_n be_v clear_a from_o matth._n 21.25_o luk._n 7.30_o joh._n 1.33_o and_o that_o it_o belong_v to_o the_o new_a testament_n appear_v see_v john_n be_v the_o very_a first_o minister_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n way_n of_o dispensation_n for_o which_o see_v matth._n 11.12_o 13._o

the_o baptism_n with_o water_n dispense_v by_o the_o disciple_n or_o apostle_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o divine_a appointment_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o we_o shall_v present_o see_v but_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n be_v substantial_o one_o and_o the_o same_o therewith_o for_o their_o author_n or_o efficient_a cause_n be_v the_o same_o by_o compare_v luk._n 7.30_o

by_o compare_v mark_v 1.4_o luk._n 3.3_o with_o act._n 2.38_o and_o 22.16_o so_o then_o they_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o as_o to_o all_o their_o cause_n be_v undeniable_o the_o same_o baptism_n substantial_o and_o i_o defy_v any_o man_n to_o show_v any_o substantial_a point_n wherein_o they_o differ_v and_o so_o the_o one_o be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n so_o must_v the_o other_o but_o say_v the_o quaker_n with_o papist_n the_o baptism_n of_o john_n be_v substantial_o different_a from_o christ_n baptism_n see_v john_n baptise_a only_o with_o water_n but_o christ_n

by_o christ_n apostle_n at_o his_o order_n see_v they_o so_o dispense_v be_v no_o less_o with_o water_n than_o he_o and_o they_o can_v no_o more_o baptise_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o
