A41824	A treatise concerning baptism, and the Lord's Supper shewing, that the true disciples of Christ are sent to baptize men into the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, for the carrying on of which, Christ is with them, and will be, to the end of the world : also, a few words concerning the Lord's Supper, shewing that those that sup with him are in his kingdom.

death_n be_v come_v over_o all_o for_o that_o all_o have_v sin_v so_o he_o suffer_v for_o we_o the_o just_a for_o the_o unjust_a that_o he_o may_v bring_v we_o to_o god_n and_o they_o that_o take_v up_o his_o cross_n deny_v themselves_o and_o follow_v he_o and_o share_v with_o he_o of_o his_o cup_n of_o his_o suffering_n and_o of_o his_o baptism_n so_o i_o hope_v i_o need_v say_v no_o more_o of_o this_o to_o show_v there_o be_v a_o baptise_v dip_v or_o plunge_v into_o other_o thing_n beside_o water_n and_o that_o this_o and_o not_o outward_a water_n tend_v thorough_o to_o wash_v purge_v

here_o be_v neither_o need_n nor_o ground_n for_o sprinkle_v at_o all_o no_o neither_o dip_v nor_o plunge_v in_o water_n nor_o any_o last_a command_n or_o institution_n that_o can_v be_v show_v though_o we_o grant_v some_o apostle_n do_v use_v water-baptism_n for_o a_o time_n not_o see_v full_o through_o thing_n at_o first_o as_o they_o do_v afterward_o yet_o they_o have_v no_o command_n for_o it_o for_o christ_n himself_o baptise_a none_o with_o water_n nor_o give_v his_o apostle_n any_o commission_n to_o do_v it_o so_o that_o after_o some_o time_n that_o they_o grow_v up_o to_o

your_o power_n and_o authority_n in_o this_o matter_n that_o you_o both_o preach_v and_o baptise_v whereas_o paul_n say_v he_o be_v not_o send_v to_o baptise_v but_o to_o preach_v and_o we_o say_v and_o know_v what_o we_o say_v to_o be_v true_a that_o we_o be_v not_o send_v to_o baptise_v into_o water_n but_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o our_o authority_n come_v not_o by_o man_n of_o

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

enter_v into_o that_o within_o the_o veil_n into_o the_o true_a tabernacle_n which_o god_n pitch_v and_o not_o man_n and_o so_o john_n go_v before_o as_o a_o type_n but_o willing_o give_v place_n to_o the_o substance_n so_o that_o it_o be_v clear_a the_o baptism_n you_o use_v be_v not_o john_n and_o it_o be_v much_o more_o clear_a that_o it_o be_v not_o christ_n baptism_n and_o so_o it_o must_v

the_o spirit_n and_o a_o live_n in_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o whole_a worship_n of_o god_n say_v we_o and_o the_o scripture_n the_o same_o that_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n be_v in_o spirit_n

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

then_o what_o do_v it_o type_n forth_o unto_o we_o or_o what_o be_v it_o a_o type_n of_o if_o it_o be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n than_o i_o ask_v you_o what_o further_a need_n 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 always_o from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o law_n that_o when_o the_o substance_n come_v than_o the_o shadow_n flee_v away_o but_o although_o you_o shall_v still_o say_v why_o then_o do_v the_o apostle_n use_v it_o after_o the_o spirit_n be_v baptism_n be_v accomplish_v i_o answer_v as_o before_o the_o apostle_n have_v power_n over_o it_o after_o they_o see_v beyond_o it_o and_o can_v submit_v unto_o the_o weakness_n of_o believer_n capacity_n in_o many_o thing_n as_o above_o be_v mention_v but_o that_o they_o see_v not_o beyond_o it_o till_o it_o be_v reveal_v unto_o they_o be_v clear_a but_o then_o they_o speak_v of_o the_o one_o baptism_n of_o the_o one_o lord_n and_o of_o the_o one_o faith_n and_o so_o john_n himself_o when_o he_o see_v jesus_n walk_v he_o say_v unto_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

wash_v and_o if_o i_o wash_v thou_o not_o say_v he_o thou_o have_v no_o part_n in_o i_o he_o satisfy_v for_o he_o be_v the_o bridegroom_n himself_o but_o john_n be_v not_o he_o it_o be_v true_a be_v the_o bridegroom_n friend_n and_o will_v not_o rob_v he_o of_o his_o prerogative_n or_o honour_n but_o rejoice_v to_o hear_v his_o voice_n and_o when_o it_o be_v hear_v say_v this_o my_o joy_n therefore_o be_v fulfil_v so_o we_o own_o john_n in_o his_o place_n and_o time_n but_o we_o own_o the_o bridegroom_n above_o john_n although_o john_n be_v his_o friend_n and_o do_v what_o be_v
