A88811	A plea for the vse of gospell ordinances: against the practice and opinions of certain men of these times. Unto which is added by way of an illustrious instance; a vindication of the ordinance of baptisme: against Mr. Dels booke, entituled The doctrine of baptismes. Wherein it's proved that the ordinance of baptism is of gospel institution, and by divine appointment, to continue of use in the Church, to the end of the world. / By Hen: Laurence Esq;.	Lawrence, Henry, 1600-1664.	1652 (1652)	Wing L668; Thomason E654_2; ESTC R205905	51,207	92

his_o season_n why_o not_o here_o he_o shall_v baptize_v for_o he_o do_v baptize_v that_o be_v have_v this_o work_n or_o office_n to_o baptize_v with_o the_o spirit_n beside_o john_n 1.33_o you_o have_v it_o in_o the_o present_a tense_n affirm_v of_o christ_n this_o be_v he_o that_o baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n ob._n but_o than_o it_o be_v tell_v we_o out_o of_o act_n 1.4_o 5._o he_o command_v they_o they_o shall_v wait_v for_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n for_o john_n baptise_a 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 according_a to_o what_o john_n say_v of_o himself_o i_o baptise_v you_o with_o water_n but_o he_o shall_v baptise_v you_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n therefore_o john_n baptism_n be_v the_o baptism_n of_o water_n and_o christ_n the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o so_o not_o one_o but_o several_a baptism_n answ_n answer_v i_o do_v not_o speak_v still_o of_o the_o efficacy_n of_o baptism_n but_o of_o the_o ceremony_n or_o element_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o here_o be_v not_o a_o distinction_n of_o baptism_n but_o of_o baptizer_n i_o baptise_v you_o with_o water_n but_o he_o shall_v baptize_v you_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n therefore_o when_o john_n say_v i_o baptise_v you_o with_o water_n he_o do_v not_o handle_v that_o point_n what_o his_o baptism_n be_v but_o what_o he_o be_v himself_o to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o attribute_v to_o he_o that_o which_o be_v proper_a to_o christ_n for_o so_o you_o have_v it_o matth._n 3.11_o he_o that_o come_v after_o i_o be_v mighty_a than_o i_o who_o shoe_n i_o be_o not_o worthy_a to_o loose_v he_o shall_v baptise_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n so_o here_o you_o have_v what_o be_v the_o virtue_n of_o john_n or_o of_o the_o minister_n in_o baptise_v and_o what_o of_o christ_n this_o distinction_n be_v common_a to_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o run_v through_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o the_o ministry_n i_o have_v plant_v apollo_n water_v but_o god_n give_v the_o increase_n no_o minister_n ever_o give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n ever_o baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o fire_n that_o be_v christ_n part_n so_o as_o when_o ever_o baptism_n be_v administer_v the_o power_n and_o ministry_n be_v to_o be_v distinguish_v the_o power_n be_v christ_n the_o ministry_n john_n or_o any_o other_o man_n qualify_v for_o it_o the_o baptism_n of_o the_o minister_n be_v external_a confer_v but_o the_o sign_n that_o of_o christ_n internal_a confer_v the_o thing_n signify_v and_o because_o john_n who_o have_v so_o great_a a_o opinion_n among_o the_o apostle_n be_v to_o decrease_v and_o our_o lord_n to_o increase_v therefore_o christ_n instance_n in_o he_o in_o this_o place_n of_o the_o first_o of_o the_o act_n in_o opposition_n to_o his_o part_n in_o the_o ministry_n but_o last_o of_o all_o i_o ask_v any_o man_n whether_o man_n be_v not_o baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n before_o that_o time_n for_o first_o the_o apostle_n be_v baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n before_o that_o the_o saint_n and_o believer_n be_v sanctify_v and_o regenerate_v and_o make_v holy_a before_o then_o which_o be_v all_o these_o man_n will_v have_v to_o be_v that_o ordinance_n so_o as_o thing_n be_v not_o annex_v and_o affix_v to_o that_o famous_a send_v down_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o shape_n of_o fiery_a tongue_n but_o be_v before_o long_o during_o all_o the_o course_n of_o the_o administration_n of_o baptism_n though_o perhaps_o not_o with_o that_o efficacy_n and_o fullness_n and_o glory_n as_o after_o for_o so_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o yet_o give_v because_o jesus_n be_v not_o yet_o gloryfy_v so_o as_o clear_o this_o place_n of_o the_o act_n hold_v out_o the_o excellency_n and_o glory_n of_o christ_n administration_n in_o respect_n of_o all_o

spiritual_o baptize_v as_o in_o a_o type_n the_o apostle_n receive_v eminent_o the_o holy_a ghost_n not_o for_o themselves_o but_o for_o the_o church_n this_o extraordinary_a administration_n luke_n as_o calvin_n observe_v improper_o that_o be_v out_o of_o the_o ordinary_a signification_n call_v baptism_n for_o baptism_n proper_o signify_v immersion_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o

the_o name_n of_o christ_n he_o say_v be_v not_o the_o repeat_n of_o any_o water_n but_o mere_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n this_o as_o the_o rest_n be_v bold_o affirm_v but_o where_o lie_v his_o

of_o baptism_n it_o be_v by_o water_n as_o well_o as_o in_o several_a other_o place_n in_o the_o act_n where_o any_o be_v say_v to_o be_v baptize_v he_o himself_o understand_v it_o by_o water_n why_o not_o as_o well_o here_o but_o true_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n with_o those_o that_o think_v that_o paul_n do_v not_o here_o command_v any_o to_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n

therefore_o have_v no_o need_n of_o any_o new_a or_o other_o baptism_n it_o be_v very_o probable_a notwithstanding_o that_o from_o this_o place_n do_v either_o arise_v or_o be_v confirm_v in_o many_o
