that_o be_v y_z t_z by_o baptism_n they_o shall_v seal_v up_o y_o t_o gospel_n which_o they_o have_v teach_v before_o but_o to_o who_o shall_v they_o go_v out_o to_o who_o shall_v they_o preach_v who_o shall_v they_o baptize_v not_o the_o jew_n only_o but_o all_o nation_n &_o mark_n say_v go_v you_o into_o all_o the_o world_n and_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o every_o creature_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v my_o power_n be_v extend_v to_o all_o nation_n to_o every_o creature_n and_o therefore_o this_o my_o gospel_n &_o your_o ministry_n whereby_o my_o power_n be_v manifest_v and_o declare_v to_o all_o must_v likewise_o be_v extend_v to_o all_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n these_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n furnish_v we_o sundry_a lesson_n for_o our_o instruction_n first_o we_o may_v learn_v here_o that_o this_o office_n of_o the_o apostleship_n which_o the_o lord_n commit_v to_o his_o disciple_n be_v not_o a_o bare_a stile_n of_o honour_n no_o but_o it_o be_v a_o laborious_a and_o painful_a charge_n and_o calling_n they_o be_v command_v to_o go_v out_o into_o the_o world_n to_o preach_v diligent_o the_o gospel_n to_o every_o creature_n the_o pope_n his_o cardinal_n and_o bishop_n vaunt_n &_o brag_v that_o they_o be_v the_o successor_n of_o the_o apostle_n they_o claim_v this_o as_o a_o stile_n of_o honour_n to_o themselves_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n they_o refuse_v to_o undertake_v any_o pain_n and_o travel_n for_o man_n salvation_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v these_o idle_a belly_n live_v in_o carnal_a security_n and_o sensuality_n take_v their_o pleasure_n and_o pastime_n and_o deceitful_o gather_v in_o to_o themselves_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o world_n and_o commit_v the_o charge_n of_o preach_v to_o vicar_n and_o curate_n as_o if_o the_o gospel_n be_v too_o base_a a_o exercise_n for_o they_o and_o a_o thing_n whereof_o they_o have_v just_a occasion_n to_o be_v ashamed_a and_o therefore_o let_v they_o claim_v what_o style_v they_o listen_v to_o themselves_o they_o be_v nothing_o less_o than_o successor_n to_o the_o apostle_n next_o these_o word_n let_v we_o see_v that_o there_o be_v two_o point_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o ministry_n for_o y_z e_z lord_n give_v his_o apostle_n commission_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n &_o to_o baptize_v so_o the_o minister_n have_v these_o two_o thing_n enjoin_v unto_o they_o to_o preach_v the_o word_n &_o to_o minister_v the_o sacrament_n we_o hear_v nothing_o speak_v here_o of_o offer_v of_o a_o sacrifice_n either_o bloody_a or_o unbloody_a or_o of_o a_o priesthood_n and_o no_o question_n if_o there_o have_v be_v such_o a_o thing_n or_o at_o least_o if_o it_o have_v be_v a_o matter_n of_o such_o importance_n &_o so_o necessary_a as_o the_o pope_n &_o his_o shaveling_n say_v the_o lord_n will_v altogether_o have_v misknowne_a it_o &_o pass_v it_o over_o with_o silence_n but_o he_o will_v have_v speak_v something_o of_o it_o to_o his_o apostle_n so_o it_o be_v but_o a_o folly_n &_o vanity_n to_o think_v that_o since_o christ_n have_v once_o offer_v himself_o a_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n for_o y_o e_o redemption_n of_o the_o world_n that_o now_o there_o remain_v any_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n in_o the_o church_n the_o lord_n have_v put_v a_o end_n to_o they_o all_o by_o his_o death_n &_o sacrifice_n there_o be_v no_o priesthood_n commit_v either_o to_o the_o apostle_n before_o or_o to_o the_o minister_n now_o but_o that_o whereby_o y_o e_z preach_v of_o y_z e_z word_n they_o offer_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n &_o woman_n in_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o y_z e_z lord_n away_o with_o that_o devilish_a sacrifice_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o mass_n whereby_o the_o pope_n and_o his_o clergy_n deceive_v the_o world_n make_v man_n believe_v that_o daily_a they_o offer_v up_o christ_n again_o as_o a_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n to_o the_o father_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a no_o there_o be_v no_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n now_o leave_v to_o the_o church_fw-mi that_o sacrifice_n which_o the_o lord_n once_o offer_v upon_o y_o e_o cross_n be_v sufficient_a &_o perfect_a enough_o to_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o world_n three_o these_o word_n teach_v we_o y_z e_z these_o two_o point_n of_o the_o call_n of_o the_o ministry_n teach_v &_o baptise_v be_v not_o commit_v to_o diverse_a &_o sundry_a person_n but_o both_o be_v commit_v to_o one_o &_o you_o e_o self_n same_o person_n so_o that_o he_o who_o be_v ordain_v to_o preach_v be_v ordain_v to_o baptize_v and_o he_o who_o can_v preach_v have_v no_o power_n nor_o liberty_n grant_v he_o of_o the_o lord_n to_o baptize_v and_o if_o he_o baptize_v he_o do_v it_o without_o the_o lord_n commandment_n he_o have_v no_o warrant_n of_o he_o and_o therefore_o his_o do_v be_v but_o a_o profanation_n of_o that_o holy_a sacrament_n of_o baptism_n this_o baptise_v of_o infant_n which_o be_v minister_v by_o private_a man_n have_v no_o warrant_n nor_o allowance_n of_o god_n much_o less_o that_o which_o be_v do_v by_o woman_n four_o out_o of_o these_o word_n we_o may_v learn_v what_o order_n ought_v to_o be_v keep_v in_o the_o minister_a of_o baptism_n to_o wit_n the_o word_n must_v be_v first_o preach_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o glad_a tiding_n of_o salvation_n must_v be_v first_o open_v up_o unto_o we_o and_o then_o baptism_n shall_v be_v minister_v to_o seal_v up_o that_o same_o word_n and_o covenant_n which_o before_o be_v preach_v wherefore_o serve_v baptism_n except_o first_o the_o word_n be_v preach_v baptism_n be_v a_o seal_n and_o what_o serve_v y_o e_o seal_n for_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v seal_v wherefore_o can_v it_o serve_v if_o the_o charter_n of_o the_o word_n precede_v not_o therefore_o except_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n precede_v baptism_n be_v nothing_o but_o a_o unprofitable_a ceremony_n and_o a_o dead_a element_n now_o in_o who_o name_n shall_v this_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n be_v minister_v the_o lord_n say_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_z and_z of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o be_v you_o shall_v baptize_v by_o the_o authority_n &_o power_n of_o the_o father_n the_o son_n &_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n whereof_o we_o have_v to_o learn_v that_o the_o power_n &_o efficacy_n of_o baptism_n depend_v neither_o upon_o the_o power_n of_o the_o minister_n who_o baptise_n nor_o upon_o the_o force_n nor_o power_n of_o the_o word_n pronounce_v by_o the_o minister_n in_o baptism_n as_o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o power_n or_o operation_n in_o the_o word_n as_o the_o papist_n false_o attribute_v unto_o they_o but_o all_o the_o force_n &_o efficacy_n of_o baptism_n depend_v upon_o the_o power_n of_o god_n only_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o he_o who_o be_v baptize_v to_o lift_v up_o his_o eye_n &_o his_o heart_n to_o heaven_n and_o to_o crave_v the_o blessing_n &_o efficacy_n thereof_o from_o god_n only_o next_o it_o will_v be_v noeed_o y_z t_z he_o say_v not_o in_o a_o general_a term_n baptise_v in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n but_o he_o say_v distinct_o baptise_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n therefore_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o he_o who_o be_v baptize_v not_o to_o content_v himself_o with_o a_o confuse_a knowledge_n and_o consideration_n of_o god_n but_o he_o ought_v to_o behold_v that_o glorious_a majesty_n &_o y_o it_o incomprehensible_a essence_n distinct_o in_o the_o trinity_n of_o the_o person_n that_o be_v three_o distinct_a person_n in_o one_o godhead_n for_o faith_n be_v a_o distinct_a &_o a_o clear_a knowledge_n &_o apprehension_n of_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n for_o whosoever_o true_o and_o sincere_o believe_v &_o put_v his_o confidence_n in_o god_n he_o find_v sensible_o by_o experience_n that_o all_o good_a thing_n flow_v first_o from_o the_o father_n as_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o grace_n and_o goodness_n through_o the_o son_n as_o mediator_n by_o who_o all_o grace_n be_v convey_v and_o communicate_v unto_o man_n and_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o powerful_o &_o effectual_o work_v all_o grace_n in_o y_z e_z heart_n last_o we_o see_v here_o a_o clear_a and_o a_o plain_a name_n of_o the_o three_o distinct_a person_n of_o the_o godhead_n the_o lord_n name_v distinct_o the_o father_n the_o son_n &_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o all_o the_o old_a testament_n we_o will_v not_o read_v so_o plain_a &_o clear_v a_o distinction_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o three_o person_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o godhead_n then_o learn_v here_o that_o jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n bring_v first_o of_o all_o into_o the_o world_n a_o distinct_a knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o first_o of_o all_o distinct_o name_v the_o

he_o can_v contemn_v baptism_n and_o if_o a_o man_n contemn_v baptism_n let_v he_o boast_v of_o his_o faith_n as_o he_o please_v that_o contempt_n be_v a_o sure_a token_n that_o he_o have_v never_o faith_n neither_o shall_v he_o get_v eternal_a life_n so_o baptism_n in_o some_o respect_n be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n that_o be_v it_o must_v not_o be_v contemn_v or_o neglect_v for_o if_o a_o man_n contemn_v or_o neglect_v it_o he_o can_v get_v salvation_n but_o it_o be_v not_o simple_o and_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n that_o be_v incase_o a_o man_n contemn_v it_o not_o nor_o neglect_v it_o he_o may_v be_v save_v without_o it_o it_o be_v the_o contempt_n and_o not_o the_o want_n of_o it_o that_o hurt_v man_n for_o a_o man_n may_v be_v ingraff_v in_o christ_n by_o faith_n and_o may_v be_v save_v by_o christ_n without_o the_o seal_n of_o baptism_n for_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v not_o so_o bind_v and_o tie_v to_o the_o ordinary_a mean_n and_o outward_a help_n but_o that_o the_o lord_n may_v work_v without_o they_o when_o and_o where_o he_o please_v and_o the_o lord_n jesus_n as_o apparent_o import_v no_o less_o in_o these_o word_n than_o that_o baptism_n be_v not_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n for_o when_o after_o the_o promise_n he_o set_v down_o the_o cause_n of_o damnation_n he_o speak_v not_o a_o word_n of_o baptism_n for_o he_o say_v only_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v of_o set_a purpose_n he_o leave_v out_o baptism_n and_o if_o it_o have_v be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n no_o question_n he_o will_v not_o have_v misknowne_a it_o and_o pass_v it_o by_o now_o last_o mark_v the_o meaning_n of_o these_o word_n he_o that_o believe_v not_o this_o negation_n and_o want_n of_o faith_n comprehende_v first_o all_o sin_n whatsoever_o against_o the_o moral_a law_n whether_o it_o be_v original_a sin_n wherein_o we_o be_v conceive_v and_o bear_v or_o actual_a sin_n proceed_v from_o original_a sin_n for_o if_o we_o have_v not_o faith_n in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n all_o these_o sin_n whatsoever_o will_v be_v lay_v to_o our_o charge_n &_o will_v bring_v we_o to_o damnation_n next_o this_o negation_n and_o want_n of_o faith_n comprehend_v that_o infidelity_n rebellion_n &_o stubburnesse_n whereby_o man_n disdainful_o refuse_v &_o reject_v that_o grace_n which_o the_o lord_n offer_v free_o in_o jesus_n christ_n to_o sinner_n &_o this_o sin_n of_o infidelity_n of_o all_o sin_n be_v the_o great_a &_o most_o detestable_a and_o therefore_o procure_v most_o speedy_a fearful_a &_o heavy_a judgement_n and_o therefore_o christ_n say_v he_o that_o believe_v not_o be_v condemn_v already_o joh._n 3_o 18._o these_o word_n importr_v that_o there_o be_v no_o delay_n of_o judgement_n to_o he_o who_o disdainful_o reject_v grace_n but_o the_o judgement_n be_v present_a and_o already_o past_a against_o he_o and_o he_o give_v a_o reason_n take_v from_o that_o rebellion_n and_o repine_v against_o the_o majesty_n of_o the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n he_o be_v condemn_v already_o say_v he_o because_o he_o have_v not_o believe_v in_o the_o name_n of_o that_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n the_o lord_n save_o we_o from_o this_o curse_a sin_n of_o infidelity_n for_o where_o it_o be_v all_o other_o sin_n be_v lay_v to_o man_n charge_n it_o &_o draw_v out_o most_o speedy_o most_o fearful_a judgement_n now_o it_o follow_v that_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o second_o promise_n to_o they_o that_o believe_v these_o token_n shall_v follow_v they_o that_o believe_v in_o my_o name_n they_o shall_v cast_v out_o devil_n and_o shall_v speak_v with_o new_a tongue_n and_o shall_v take_v away_o serpent_n and_o if_o they_o shall_v drink_v any_o deadly_a thing_n it_o shall_v not_o hurt_v they_o they_o shall_v lay_v their_o hand_n on_o the_o sick_a and_o they_o shall_v recover_v the_o former_a promise_n be_v of_o life_n eternal_a to_o they_o who_o believe_v this_o promise_n be_v of_o the_o gift_n of_o work_a miracle_n he_o promise_v that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n shall_v give_v to_o they_o that_o believe_v a_o power_n &_o gift_n to_o work_v miracle_n we_o may_v not_o think_v that_o this_o power_n be_v common_a to_o all_o &_o that_o every_o particular_a christian_a who_o believe_v shall_v have_v this_o gift_n neither_o must_v we_o think_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v extend_v to_o all_o time_n and_o age_n but_o this_o promise_n be_v to_o be_v restrain_v to_o a_o certain_a number_n of_o particular_a person_n on_o who_o it_o shall_v please_v the_o lord_n to_o bestow_v this_o gift_n of_o work_v of_o miracle_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v restrain_v &_o bound_v within_o a_o certain_a time_n it_o must_v be_v restrain_v to_o that_o first_o age_n and_o infancy_n of_o the_o church_n to_o the_o first_o time_n that_o the_o gospel_n begin_v to_o be_v preach_v for_o than_o it_o be_v expedient_a and_o necessary_a that_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v unknown_a and_o not_o hear_v of_o before_o to_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v confirm_v by_o miracle_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o look_v for_o new_a miracle_n in_o this_o age_n wherein_o we_o live_v because_o the_o gospel_n be_v already_o sufficient_o confirm_v by_o the_o miracle_n wrought_v in_o that_o first_o age_n of_o the_o church_n by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n and_o they_o that_o immediate_o succeed_v the_o papist_n indeed_o brag_n much_o of_o miracle_n that_o be_v daily_o wrought_v in_o their_o church_n but_o their_o miracle_n be_v such_o as_o christ_n foretell_v that_o false_a christ_n and_o false_a apostle_n shall_v work_v and_o that_o the_o antichrist_n shall_v work_v at_o his_o come_n matth._n 24.24_o and_o they_o be_v these_o which_o paul_n call_v lie_v sign_n and_o wonder_n which_o notwithstanding_o he_o say_v be_v effectual_a in_o they_o who_o perish_v because_o they_o receive_v not_o the_o love_n of_o the_o truth_n now_o you_o see_v here_o there_o be_v a_o promise_n of_o sundry_a great_a and_o excellent_a thing_n to_o be_v wrought_v by_o some_o of_o the_o faithful_a in_o the_o first_o age_n of_o the_o church_n as_o namely_o cast_v out_o of_o devil_n of_o speak_v with_o new_a tongue_n take_v away_o serpent_n the_o drink_n of_o deadly_a and_o poisonable_a thing_n without_o harm_n the_o heal_n of_o sick_a folk_n by_o lay_v on_o of_o their_o hand_n wherein_z i_o purpose_v not_o particular_o to_o insist_v but_o only_o to_o mark_v some_o thing_n general_o for_o our_o edification_n consider_v first_o the_o order_n of_o these_o promise_n which_o the_o lord_n make_v to_o they_o which_o believe_v first_o he_o promise_v life_n &_o salvation_n thereafter_o he_o promise_v work_v of_o miracle_n the_o promise_n of_o life_n be_v a_o promise_n of_o the_o great_a miracle_n that_o ever_o be_v wrought_v in_o the_o world_n as_o for_o other_o miracle_n they_o be_v but_o work_v sign_n and_o token_n of_o that_o life_n &_o salvation_n that_o be_v to_o be_v wrought_v which_o far_o surpass_v all_o other_o miracle_n the_o lord_n himself_o testify_v unto_o we_o that_o all_o the_o miracle_n which_o be_v wrought_v in_o the_o first_o age_n of_o the_o church_n be_v count_v but_o like_a as_o many_o figne_n and_o token_n of_o life_n and_o salvation_n to_o be_v wrought_v by_o he_o when_o he_o say_v matth._n 9.6_o that_o you_o may_v know_v that_o the_o son_n of_o man_n have_v authority_n on_o earth_n to_o forgive_v sin_n i_o will_v restore_v to_o health_n this_o man_n that_o be_v sick_a of_o the_o palsy_n then_o he_o say_v to_o the_o sick_a man_n arise_v take_v up_o thy_o bed_n and_o go_v to_o thy_o house_n where_o he_o let_v we_o see_v that_o the_o miracle_n of_o bodily_a health_n be_v a_o sign_n &_o token_n of_o a_o great_a grace_n &_o miracle_n even_o of_o remission_n of_o sin_n &_o life_n everlasting_a whereupon_o we_o mark_v this_o lesson_n that_o faith_n be_v never_o without_o some_o miracle_n it_o have_v ever_o one_o miracle_n or_o other_o follow_v upon_o it_o indeed_o it_o have_v not_o always_o with_o it_o such_o miracle_n as_o be_v wrought_v in_o the_o first_o age_n of_o the_o church_n as_o cast_v out_o of_o devil_n heal_v of_o disease_n yet_o it_o never_o want_v that_o great_a miracle_n of_o all_o the_o miracle_n of_o regeneration_n of_o life_n and_o salvation_n which_o christ_n himself_o let_v we_o see_v be_v more_o to_o be_v marvel_v at_o than_o all_o the_o miracle_n here_o promise_v for_o when_o the_o seventie_o disciple_n who_o be_v send_v out_o with_o power_n to_o work_v miracle_n return_v rejoice_v that_o they_o have_v wrought_v such_o great_a thing_n that_o they_o have_v cast_v out_o devil_n and_o heal_v disease_n he_o say_v unto_o they_o albeit_o i_o have_v give_v you_o power_n to_o cast_v out_o
