of_o the_o spirit_n say_v he_o to_o the_o pharisee_n when_o they_o come_v to_o he_o to_o jordan_n o_o you_o generation_n of_o viper_n who_o have_v warn_v you_o to_o fly_v from_o the_o wrath_n to_o

than_o ever_o they_o have_v before_o act_v xv_o john_n true_o baptize_v with_o water_n but_o you_o shall_v be_v baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n not_o many_o day_n hence_o then_o the_o disciple_n have_v no_o other_o baptism_n but_o john_n until_o they_o be_v baptize_v with_o fire_n and_o sure_o they_o have_v a_o true_a and_o a_o efficacious_a baptism_n so_o apollo_n know_v of_o no_o other_o

be_v not_o the_o true_a baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o christ_n receive_v then_o either_o all_o we_o have_v receive_v a_o baptism_n divers_a from_o our_o saviour_n which_o be_v very_o

baptism_n of_o john_n have_v the_o same_o substantial_a virtue_n with_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n this_o be_v that_o opinion_n against_o which_o the_o tridentine_a council_n do_v thunder_n forth_o

therefore_o to_o correct_v that_o fundamental_a error_n it_o may_v be_v the_o disciple_n of_o ephesus_n be_v baptize_v again_o second_o i_o see_v no_o exception_n at_o this_o answer_n that_o the_o disciple_n of_o ephesus_n be_v only_o baptize_v in_o john_n baptism_n and_o paul_n teach_v that_o all_o who_o john_n baptize_v be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n therefore_o
