all the Law called for he humbled himself and became obedient as a Servant and serv'd it in its Time Place and fulfilled it in its Time and Place and fulfill'd its Will and Requirements and not only so but bore all the Curse due to us that had broken it and been disobedient unto it and set us free from it was the End of the Law for Righteousness to us that believe so that we are not under the Law but under Grace or the Gift of God that brings Salvation to us who have not the Shadowy Works of the Law but are Believers in and Obeyers of Him who is exalted both above the Law and the Prophets So also down into the Water he goes and fulfilled Iohn's Dispensation or that Righteousness required by it which when it was fulfilled He only was worthy to have Place that had fulfilled it And having fulfilled it he went up straight way out of the Water mark He did not there abide or stay but straight way went out of the Outward thing and then came the Word of Power and the Heavens were opened and the Holy Ghost descended like a Dove and lighting on him then came the Voice from Heaven saying This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased Now is he descended that is also ascended and is now established alone This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased Hear Hear Hear him He that hath Ears to hear let him hear what the Spirit saith Hear him of whom Moses and all the Prophets and Iohn who was more spake for now he is come that is mightier then all and all Power is given unto him not unto him and Iohn or unto him and Moses No But unto him Him only hath God exalted to be both King and Priest unto Israel and he alone is established a Priest forever of an Unchangeable Priesthood not changeable nor finite but forever of an unchangeable Priesthood mark ye but not after the Order of Aaron nor after the Order of Iohn but after the Order of Melchizedeck who met Abraham and blessed him him that overcame and blessed him and will give to him that overcomes to sit with him in his Throne as he hath overcome and is set down in his Father's Throne Not after the Order of a Carnal Commandment but after the Power of an Endless Life This is the Sun that choathes the Woman who hath the Moon with all changeable Dippings in Water under her Feet and the least in his Kingdom is greater then Iohn though he was more then a Prophet Also in Mark 1. 8. I indeed have baptized you with Water but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost Also Luke 3. 16. I indeed baptize with Water but one mightier then I cometh the ●atch●t of whose Shoe I am not worthy to unloose he shall mind baptize you with the Holy Ghost and Fire But he ever takes Water-Baptism to himself and never asscribes it to Christ Jesus but speaks of a greater Work to be done by him a Purging Purifying Refining Cleansing VVork and Iohn's was but a Type of what was a coming and therefore ran before and hasted to give place to him that came after who alone is himself established in all things to have the Preheminence Now mark this word Fore-runner or One sent to run before one that runs makes haste away that he may finish his Course before his Time be out Now it s plainly said that as Iohn fulfilled his Course he said Whom think ye that I am I am not He Mind ye Iohn was not He not He that was to be established to abide forever a Priest forever of an Unchangeable Priesthood but was sent before him therefore when the Apostle here comes in the 13th Chapter of t●e Acts and Vers. 23 24 25. he speaks on this wise as he was preaching Christ Jesus not Iohn he was not I say preaching Iohn nor Iohn's Baptism but Christ the Seed of David Of this Man's Seed saith he hath God according to his Promise raised unto Israel a Saviour Jesus when John had first preached before his Coming the Baptism of Repentance to all the People of Israel Mind ye all ye Baptizers in Water when Christ was raised unto Israel when Iohn had first preached before his Coming mark Iohn had a Time we grant and own with all our Hearts but was it not before his Coming here spoken of But when his Course was fulfilled when Iohn had first preached the Baptism of Repentance first mind ye then God raised up unto Israel a Saviour Oh! but Iohn could not save but him whom God hath raised saveth to the uttermost them that come to God by him Him whom God hath raised And so Iohn honestly disclaims all the Honour due to Jesus Christ and as one afraid lest the People should asscribe any of it to him said Whom think ye that I am as he fulfilled his Course mark that Iohn's Course was fulfilled I am not he but behold there cometh one after me whose Shoes of his Feet I am not worthy to loose Him Behold he is the Lamb of God that takes away the Sins of the World but I am not he And so in the 47th Verse the Apostle comes to declare in much Plainness how that Christ is set or established he joyns none with him For so hath the Lord commanded us saith he saying I have set ther saith the Lord to be a Light to the Gentiles that THOU mark not Thou and Iohn nor Thou and Moses but in the singular Term Thou that Thou shouldst be for Salvation unto the Ends of the Earth Isa. 49. 6. But again in John 1. 2 26. The People came to John and asked him saying unto him Why Baptizest thou if thou be not that Christ neither Elias nor that Prophet John answered them saying I Baptize with Water mark but there standeth One among you whom ye know not He it is who cometh after me is preferred before me whose Shoe 's Latchet I am not worthy to unloose These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan where Iohn was baptizing The next day Iohn seeth Jesus coming unto him and saith Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the Sins of the World This is He of whom I said After me cometh a Man that is preferred before me for he was before me and I knew him not but that he might be made manifest to Israel therefore am I come Baptizing with Water Mark the End of Iohn's Baptism was That HE might be made manifest to Israel therefore am I come baptizing with Water So then this was the Service of Iohn's Baptism and it served for this Purpose and to this End That Christ might be made manifest And so Iohn bare Record of him and preached him and not himself but cryed Behold the Lamb of God look not at Me b● hold not Me nor the Lamb of God and Me no he never joyn'd himself to Him but said I am sent before
