that_o this_o baptism_n you_o practise_v can_v be_v john_n nor_o christ_n it_o can_v be_v for_o he_o never_o have_v water_n ascribe_v to_o he_o but_o john_n who_o be_v a_o true_a minister_n in_o his_o time_n of_o water-baptism_n say_v he_o mean_v christ_n shall_v baptise_v you_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o fire_n so_o then_o if_o not_o john_n as_o it_o be_v clear_a it_o be_v not_o for_o john_n be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o true_a baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o when_o the_o type_n figure_n vail_n and_o shadow_n be_v end_v and_o he_o the_o end_n and_o beginning_n first_o and_o last_o

command_v in_o mat._n 28._o be_v into_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n or_o holy_a ghost_n but_o i_o say_v this_o be_v not_o john_n for_o they_o that_o have_v be_v baptize_v unto_o john_n baptism_n have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o hear_v of_o a_o holy_a ghost_n act_n 19.1_o 2_o 3_o 4._o which_o they_o must_v needs_o have_v do_v if_o they_o have_v be_v baptize_v with_o the_o

there_o be_v of_o it_o when_o the_o thing_n signify_v by_o it_o be_v come_v or_o do_v you_o think_v that_o type_n and_o substance_n must_v remain_v together_o to_o the_o world_n end_n be_v it_o not_o

with_o he_o for_o john_n baptism_n can_v not_o wash_v they_o from_o their_o sin_n but_o behold_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n take_v away_o sin_n put_v a_o end_n to_o sin_n finish_v transgression_n and_o
