and_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v the_o spirit_n of_o power_n bring_v forth_o a_o principle_n of_o divine_a power_n in_o we_o the_o fire_n of_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n be_v strong_a than_o the_o

against_o god_n by_o his_o power_n alone_o for_o no_o less_o power_n can_v do_v it_o and_o it_o be_v proper_a also_o unto_o god_n to_o bring_v forth_o a_o principle_n of_o divine_a power_n in_o we_o

it_o in_o scripture_n and_o in_o our_o old_a and_o corrupt_a nature_n we_o shall_v find_v it_o to_o be_v quite_o contrary_a to_o the_o name_n of_o god_n for_o we_o live_v in_o wrath_n envy_n and_o

we_o be_v before_o envious_a and_o hateful_a against_o the_o truth_n and_o all_o that_o follow_v it_o in_o sincerity_n proud_a lofty_a and_o hard-hearted_a towards_o our_o fellow_n creature_n now_o we_o be_v quite_o change_v in_o our_o heart_n mind_n and_o nature_n now_o we_o be_v kind_a merciful_a full_a of_o pity_n and_o compassion_n towards_o all_o man_n willing_a to_o do_v good_a unto_o all_o even_o from_o bowel_n of_o mercy_n and_o compassion_n within_o we_o now_o we_o be_v humble_a and_o lowly_a in_o heart_n and_o of_o a_o meek_a and_o quiet_a spirit_n suitable_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o our_o father_n that_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o thus_o the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n bring_v forth_o the_o new_a nature_n in_o we_o mat._n 5_o and_o make_v we_o merciful_a as_o our_o heavenly_a father_n be_v merciful_a much_o more_o may_v be_v say_v concern_v the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n give_v forth_o in_o a_o commission_n by_o he_o who_o have_v all_o power_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n but_o this_o brief_a discovery_n of_o this_o clear_a truth_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o satisfy_v those_o that_o see_v truth_n in_o its_o own_o light_n even_o those_o that_o have_v the_o two_o great_a witness_n to_o witness_v unto_o they_o and_o to_o confirm_v they_o in_o the_o truth_n which_o be_v the_o word_n write_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o eternal_a word_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o mind_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o live_a god_n which_o spirit_n be_v the_o only_a witness_n within_o they_o reveal_v the_o true_a

be_v never_o able_a to_o understand_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o word_n write_v in_o the_o scripture_n but_o till_o we_o have_v the_o witness_n in_o ourselves_o we_o shall_v antichrist_n like_v carnal_o understand_v the_o scripture_n and_o now_o in_o conclusion_n of_o this_o point_n i_o desire_v all_o man_n serious_o to_o consider_v in_o their_o own_o conscience_n which_o they_o do_v think_v be_v most_o suitable_a to_o all_o power_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n to_o give_v out_o a_o commission_n to_o baptise_v man_n into_o the_o name_n and_o nature_n and_o image_n and_o likeness_n of_o god_n or_o into_o material_a water_n which_o be_v but_o a_o figure_n of_o good_a thing_n to_o come_v and_o a_o forerunner_n of_o the_o substance_n as_o the_o author_n himself_o of_o it_o do_v clear_o

quite_o destroy_v out_o of_o the_o heart_n and_o mind_n of_o man_n for_o so_o far_o as_o man_n be_v carnal_a so_o far_o they_o will_v worship_v the_o god_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o this_o will_v be_v till_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n have_v famish_v they_o all_o which_o will_v be_v in_o his_o clear_a and_o bright_a come_n in_o spirit_n &_o power_n from_o on_o high_a zep._n 2._o 11._o 2_o thes_n
