the_o apostle_n testify_v as_o have_v be_v evident_o prove_v before_o and_o certain_o as_o those_o who_o see_v and_o hear_v those_o thing_n be_v by_o the_o divine_a character_n in_o the_o external_a object_n and_o by_o their_o efficacy_n on_o their_o spirit_n full_o persuade_v they_o be_v not_o deceive_v so_o we_o have_v as_o strong_a proof_n that_o they_o do_v not_o deceive_v we_o in_o their_o report_n i_o shall_v brief_o consider_v the_o other_o testimony_n and_o there_o be_v three_o that_o bear_v witness_n in_o earth_n the_o spirit_n and_o the_o water_n and_o the_o blood_n and_o these_o three_o agree_v in_o one_o the_o spirit_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v in_o two_o different_a manner_n in_o the_o testimony_n attribute_v to_o he_o either_o in_o respect_n of_o those_o representation_n by_o a_o dove_n and_o fiery_a tongue_n or_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o virtue_n and_o influence_n communicate_v to_o the_o christian_a church_n the_o first_o be_v his_o testimony_n from_o heaven_n the_o second_o his_o testimony_n on_o earth_n and_o these_o be_v his_o extraordinary_a gift_n so_o liberal_o dispense_v at_o the_o first_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n to_o one_o be_v give_v by_o the_o spirit_n the_o word_n of_o wisdom_n to_o another_o the_o word_n of_o knowledge_n to_o another_o faith_n that_o be_v extraordinary_a confidence_n in_o the_o divine_a power_n for_o the_o produce_v

kind_n of_o tongue_n to_o another_o the_o interpretation_n of_o tongue_n now_o because_o these_o operation_n more_o eminent_o declare_v the_o presence_n and_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n than_o his_o ordinary_a grace_n they_o be_v call_v by_o that_o name_n for_o understand_v the_o second_o witness_n the_o water_n two_o thing_n be_v observable_a 1._o that_o in_o the_o ritual_n of_o moses_n frequent_a wash_n be_v enjoin_v for_o the_o purify_n of_o the_o jew_n from_o legal_a pollution_n contract_v by_o they_o and_o as_o those_o corporal_a stain_n be_v resemblance_n of_o the_o vicious_a habit_n of_o the_o mind_n so_o the_o cleanse_n by_o water_n be_v typical_a of_o sanctify_a grace_n that_o purify_v the_o heart_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n under_o the_o new_a covenant_n to_o represent_v the_o sanctification_n of_o christian_n by_o a_o outward_a sign_n baptism_n in_o water_n be_v appoint_v 2._o the_o apostle_n john_n in_o the_o narrative_a of_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n tell_v we_o that_o a_o soldier_n pierce_v his_o side_n with_o a_o spear_n so_o that_o blood_n and_o water_n come_v out_o this_o be_v not_o recite_v by_o s._n john_n mere_o as_o a_o circumstance_n of_o the_o history_n or_o as_o a_o certain_a proof_n of_o his_o death_n but_o the_o follow_a word_n he_o that_o see_v this_o testify_v it_o and_o his_o testimony_n be_v worthy_a of_o belief_n and_o he_o know_v that_o he_o say_v true_a that_o you_o may_v believe_v declare_v it_o to_o be_v of_o singular_a consequence_n and_o according_o he_o say_v that_o our_o saviour_n come_v by_o water_n and_o blood_n with_o respect_n to_o that_o which_o be_v do_v at_o his_o crucifixion_n which_o be_v so_o order_v by_o divine_a wisdom_n for_o high_a end_n that_o be_v the_o water_n issue_v out_o of_o his_o side_n be_v a_o fit_a emblem_n of_o that_o sanctify_a grace_n that_o be_v give_v to_o all_o that_o have_v communion_n with_o he_o in_o his_o death_n 3._o for_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o blood_n it_o be_v also_o to_o be_v observe_v that_o by_o the_o mosaic_a institution_n daily_a sacrifice_n be_v offer_v up_o and_o a_o most_o solemn_a one_o by_o the_o highpriest_n in_o the_o day_n of_o atonement_n to_o expiate_v the_o guilt_n of_o ceremonial_a uncleanness_n and_o to_o restore_v those_o who_o for_o that_o be_v exclude_v from_o external_a communion_n with_o god_n in_o the_o sanctuary_n now_o as_o that_o legal_a guilt_n arise_v from_o those_o outward_a pollution_n and_o the_o separation_n of_o those_o who_o be_v so_o pollute_v from_o the_o service_n of_o god_n be_v a_o representation_n of_o the_o moral_a gild_n and_o punishment_n that_o follow_v the_o vicious_a habit_n and_o action_n of_o man_n so_o the_o shed_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o offer_v be_v typical_a of_o the_o true_a propitiation_n that_o be_v to_o be_v make_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ._n and_o this_o be_v peculiar_o remark_v by_o the_o apostle_n that_o jesus_n come_v not_o only_o by_o water_n but_o by_o water_n and_o blood_n and_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o testify_v of_o it_o and_o the_o spirit_n be_v the_o truth_n by_o which_o we_o must_v understand_v something_o distinct_a from_o the_o former_a i._n e._n that_o the_o flow_a of_o his_o blood_n signify_v the_o reconcile_a efficacy_n of_o his_o death_n by_o satisfy_v divine_a justice_n and_o consequent_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n give_v to_o those_o who_o believe_v in_o he_o now_o brief_o to_o show_v the_o force_n of_o their_o conspire_a testimony_n that_o jesus_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o our_o redeemer_n these_o thing_n may_v be_v consider_v absolute_o in_o themselves_o or_o as_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o the_o prophecy_n concern_v the_o messiah_n in_o the_o last_o respect_n they_o afford_v we_o a_o great_a assurance_n of_o this_o truth_n for_o all_o be_v express_o foretell_v and_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v in_o the_o last_o day_n say_v god_n i_o will_v pour_v out_o of_o my_o spirit_n upon_o all_o flesh_n and_o your_o son_n and_o your_o daughter_n shall_v prophesy_v and_o your_o young_a man_n shall_v see_v vision_n and_o your_o old_a man_n shall_v dream_v dream_n and_o on_o my_o servant_n and_o hand-maiden_n i_o will_v pour_v out_o in_o those_o day_n of_o my_o spirit_n and_o they_o shall_v prophesy_v this_o promise_n be_v universal_o acknowledge_v to_o refer_v to_o the_o come_n of_o the_o messiah_n for_o that_o of_o water_n that_o be_v sanctification_n not_o only_o the_o wash_n under_o the_o law_n be_v figure_n of_o it_o but_o it_o be_v also_o clear_o prophesy_v of_o in_o many_o place_n and_o most_o express_o in_o ezekiel_n i_o will_v sprinkle_v clean_a water_n upon_o you_o and_o you_o shall_v be_v clean_o from_o all_o your_o filthiness_n will_v i_o cleanse_v you_o a_o new_a heart_n also_o will_v i_o give_v you_o and_o a_o new_a spirit_n will_v i_o put_v within_o you_o and_o i_o will_v put_v my_o spirit_n within_o you_o and_o cause_v you_o to_o walk_v in_o my_o statute_n and_o for_o the_o three_o testimony_n beside_o that_o the_o typical_a blood_n of_o the_o messiah_n run_v down_o from_o all_o the_o sacrifice_n it_o be_v also_o foretell_v express_o by_o esaiah_n what_o his_o suffering_n shall_v be_v and_o the_o benefit_n accrue_v from_o they_o now_o if_o we_o compare_v the_o oracle_n with_o the_o event_n who_o can_v just_o doubt_v that_o the_o messiah_n be_v come_v but_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o thing_n themselves_o they_o afford_v a_o uncontrollable_a testimony_n of_o christ_n divine_a mission_n compare_v the_o
