be_v only_a partaker_n of_o the_o precious_a name_n of_o god_n by_o power_n from_o on_o high_a not_o by_o a_o little_a cold_a water_n those_o that_o have_v any_o experience_n of_o the_o name_n and_o

that_o the_o glorious_a name_n of_o the_o eternal_a god_n do_v consist_v in_o a_o bare_a outside_n profession_n take_v its_o denomination_n from_o dip_v in_o a_o little_a cold_a water_n and_o that_o

then_o this_o the_o commission_n be_v to_o baptize_v people_n into_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o that_o be_v declare_v to_o be_v love_n goodness_n mercy_n etc._n etc._n as_o in_o exod._n 34_o etc._n etc._n but_o i_o hope_v no_o man_n will_v say_v waterbaptism_n be_v the_o name_n of_o god_n that_o do_v consist_v in_o all_o good_a suitable_a to_o his_o nature_n nor_o that_o to_o be_v baptize_v

the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o consist_v in_o power_n from_o on_o high_a we_o be_v dip_v and_o wash_v in_o the_o pure_a river_n of_o the_o water_n of_o life_n that_o proceed_v from_o the_o lord_n god_n and_o from_o the_o lamb_n and_o this_o be_v the_o only_a baptism_n in_o christ_n pure_a and_o spiritual_a kingdom_n which_o consist_v in_o spiritual_a fire_n and_o spiritual_a water_n and_o this_o spiritual_a fire_n will_v lick_v up_o all_o our_o earthly_a water_n and_o quite_o destroy_v they_o in_o a_o word_n this_o fire_n and_o water_n of_o the_o spirit_n burn_v up_o destroy_v waste_v away_o and_o cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o filthiness_n both_o of_o spirit_n soul_n and_o body_n in_o which_o way_n we_o do_v come_v to_o live_v in_o the_o name_n and_o nature_n of_o god_n in_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n and_o thus_o we_o may_v see_v that_o material_a water_n be_v not_o the_o name_n of_o god_n nor_o to_o be_v baptize_v into_o the_o name_n of_o god_n be_v not_o into_o earthly_a water_n but_o it_o be_v into_o life_n light_n love_n wisdom_n truth_n etc._n etc._n yea_o into_o the_o divine_a nature_n for_o as_o we_o have_v first_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o earthly_a even_o the_o old_a man_n which_o be_v corrupt_a and_o sinful_a so_o in_o the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n we_o do_v partake_v of_o the_o new_a name_n or_o be_v make_v new_a man_n in_o he_o who_o be_v the_o lord_n from_o heaven_n and_o such_o a_o baptism_n be_v only_o suitable_a to_o all_o power_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n which_o be_v able_a to_o write_v the_o name_n of_o

of_o reformation_n and_o have_v not_o the_o name_n of_o god_n write_v within_o they_o they_o be_v bastard_n and_o not_o child_n of_o god_n it_o be_v only_o the_o spirit_n and_o spiritual_a power_n and_o work_v of_o the_o spirit_n that_o do_v or_o that_o can_v interest_n we_o into_o the_o name_n of_o god_n so_o we_o conclude_v the_o commission_n be_v spiritual_a and_o consist_v in_o spiritual_a

the_o name_n of_o god_n which_o our_o earthly_a water_n can_v do_v for_o that_o can_v interest_n we_o into_o eternal_a love_n light_z and_o all_o good_a as_o spirit-baptism_n can_v and_o do_v obj._n 17._o the_o commission_n can_v be_v as_o you_o say_v to_o baptize_v man_n into_o the_o name_n of_o god_n or_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n because_o it_o be_v not_o man_n work_n to_o baptize_v with_o

without_o mean_n then_o why_o do_v any_o of_o you_o call_v yourselves_o minister_n of_o christ_n and_o for_o what_o purpose_v you_o be_v or_o declare_v yourselves_o to_o be_v minister_n 2_o you_o do_v manifest_a abundance_n of_o ignorance_n in_o this_o not_o to_o distinguish_v between_o the_o efficient_a cause_n and_o the_o instrumental_a cause_n now_o in_o the_o first_o place_n we_o ascribe_v

the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n than_o we_o be_v spiritual_o wash_v and_o cleanse_v from_o our_o uncleanness_n filthiness_n and_o pollution_n both_o of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n then_o we_o be_v

and_o spirit_n from_o spiritual_a filthiness_n now_o this_o be_v observable_a that_o the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v compare_v unto_o fire_n and_o water_n both_o b●ing_n of_o a_o cleanse_n

the_o spirit_n we_o come_v forth_o in_o the_o new_a creation_n pure_a clean_a and_o holy_a be_v refine_v by_o the_o true_a refiner_n of_o soul_n and_o as_o silver_n be_v try_v seven_o time_n in_o

their_o expectation_n and_o tell_v they_o his_o office_n and_o person_n be_v weak_a not_o to_o be_v compare_v with_o christ_n and_o his_o office_n indeed_o say_v he_o i_o baptise_v with_o water_n but_o one_o mighty_a than_o i_o come_v etc._n etc._n he_o shall_v baptise_v you_o with_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o with_o fire_n here_o john_n lay_v himself_o and_o his_o baptism_n low_a and_o declare_v that_o he_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o do_v the_o mean_a thing_n in_o christ_n kingdom_n and_o then_o sure_a john_n baptism_n and_o christ_n be_v not_o all_o one_o and_o john_n do_v high_o exalt_v christ_n and_o his_o baptism_n and_o declare_v as_o we_o have_v show_v before_o the_o great_a effect_n of_o christ_n baptism_n v._o 17._o 4._o john_n 1._o 15._o in_o this_o chapter_n john_n still_o continue_v his_o testimony_n of_o himself_o and_o of_o christ_n say_v this_o be_v he_o of_o who_o i_o speak_v etc._n etc._n in_o v._o 19_o to_o the_o 23._o it_o be_v record_v the_o jew_n send_v priest_n and_o levite_n to_o examine_v john_n whether_o he_o be_v the_o christ_n or_o who_o he_o be_v and_o we_o have_v here_o john_n answer_n who_o he_o be_v and_o v._o 24._o it_o be_v

he_o do_v baptise_v and_o here_o by_o the_o way_n we_o may_v observe_v that_o man_n of_o a_o pharisaical_a principle_n look_v upon_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v a_o outward_a wash_n with_o material_a water_n i_o wish_v man_n be_v not_o so_o carnal_a now_o but_o present_o john_n cross_v their_o conceit_n and_o tell_v they_o that_o he_o baptise_v with_o water_n and_o further_o tell_v they_o that_o there_o stand_v one_o among_o they_o who_o they_o know_v not_o v._o 26._o oh_o that_o all_o who_o do_v now_o profess_v christ_n which_o be_v more_o than_o the_o pharisee_n do_v be_v not_o so_o ignorant_a of_o christ_n in_o the_o mystery_n of_o his_o baptism_n as_o the_o pharisee_n be_v but_o to_o observe_v john_n conclusion_n in_o the_o business_n he_o declare_v v._o 33._o the_o true_a baptism_n of_o christ_n from_o the_o testimony_n of_o he_o that_o send_v john_n to_o baptise_v with_o water_n and_o in_o luke_n 3._o 2._o we_o have_v a_o proof_n who_o it_o be_v that_o send_v he_o even_o the_o word_n of_o god_n come_v unto_o he_o etc._n etc._n v._o 33._o and_o i_o know_v he_o not_o but_o he_o that_o send_v i_o to_o baptise_v with_o water_n the_o same_o say_v unto_o i_o upon_o who_o thou_o shall_v see_v the_o spirit_n descend_v from_o heaven_n and_o remain_v on_o he_o the_o same_o be_v he_o that_o baptise_v with_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o v._o 34._o he_o declare_v that_o he_o see_v and_o bare_a record_n that_o this_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n so_o we_o see_v the_o testimony_n of_o john_n that_o he_o declare_v himself_o and_o his_o baptism_n to_o be_v weak_a and_o christ_n and_o his_o baptism_n to_o be_v strong_a and_o mighty_a and_o to_o follow_v after_o his_o therefore_o sure_a the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o material_a water_n as_o john_n be_v but_o if_o he_o can_v see_v truth_n in_o its_o own_o light_n than_o they_o may_v see_v it_o as_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o but_o general_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o look_v upon_o the_o word_n as_o man_n have_v interpret_v it_o for_o their_o own_o end_n and_o interest_n i_o doubt_v for_o the_o most_o part_n and_o so_o they_o look_v not_o upon_o it_o as_o in_o itself_o
