circumcision_n because_o both_o be_v long_o ago_o bury_v and_o what_o be_v bury_v be_v deadly_a to_o be_v raise_v up_o again_o as_o augustin_n teach_v their_o three_o reason_n be_v build_v on_o a_o mistake_n that_o the_o god_n head_n of_o christ_n or_o name_n of_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n be_v a_o stumble_a block_n to_o the_o believe_a jew_n for_o of_o these_o only_o we_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v also_o that_o the_o apostle_n use_v the_o word_n father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n when_o they_o baptize_v can_v not_o be_v prove_v far_o less_o use_v they_o the_o word_n trinity_n which_o be_v not_o invent_v long_o after_o the_o apostle_n day_n their_o second_o argument_n that_o the_o baptism_n command_v in_o matth._n 28_o 16._o be_v with_o water_n resolve_v at_o last_o into_o this_o that_o it_o be_v god_n only_o and_o not_o man_n who_o baptise_n with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n because_o he_o be_v only_o the_o proper_a immediate_a efficient_a cause_n of_o baptism_n with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o we_o deny_v the_o consequence_n as_o weak_a and_o false_a for_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o usual_a then_o to_o ascribe_v the_o effect_n unto_o the_o instrumental_a cause_n as_o true_o as_o unto_o the_o principal_a paul_n be_v send_v to_o turn_v or_o convert_v the_o gentile_n from_o darkness_n to_o light_n and_o to_o open_v their_o eye_n and_o yet_o god_n only_o be_v the_o proper_a and_o immediate_a efficient_a cause_n of_o this_o many_o more_o example_n can_v be_v give_v yea_o the_o same_o reason_n of_o the_o student_n will_v militate_v against_o teach_v for_o even_o outward_a teach_n which_o be_v by_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v a_o power_n and_o virtue_n in_o it_o whereof_o the_o man_n who_o teach_v be_v but_o the_o instrumental_a conveyor_n that_o be_v only_o from_o god_n as_o the_o immediate_a efficient_a cause_n another_o reason_n they_o give_v to_o make_v all_o sure_a as_o they_o say_v be_v that_o it_o be_v only_a christ_n as_o he_o be_v god_n and_o mighty_a than_o john_n who_o baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n matth._n 3_o 11._o where_o baptism_n with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v peculiar_o attribute_v to_o christ._n but_o this_o make_v their_o matter_n nothing_o more_o sure_a for_o although_o that_o baptism_n with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v peculiar_o attribute_v to_o christ_n as_o the_o principal_a cause_n yet_o it_o hinder_v not_o that_o man_n be_v the_o instrumental_a even_o as_o christ_n say_v it_o be_v not_o you_o that_o speak_v and_o yet_o they_o also_o speak_v as_o instrument_n it_o be_v true_a that_o john_n do_v not_o baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v or_o rather_o christ_n through_o they_o because_o john_n have_v not_o so_o powerful_a a_o ministry_n give_v he_o as_o the_o apostle_n of_o who_o christ_n say_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o only_o do_v as_o great_a work_n as_o he_o but_o great_a to_o wit_n by_o his_o power_n again_o they_o argue_v that_o give_v and_o not_o grant_v that_o baptism_n with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n can_v be_v administer_v by_o man_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o command_v here_o for_o the_o word_n than_o will_v be_v full_a of_o needless_a tautology_n to_o this_o we_o answer_v that_o this_o do_v not_o follow_v for_o suppose_v that_o by_o teach_v and_o baptise_v be_v mean_v one_o thing_n how_o usual_a be_v it_o in_o scripture_n to_o express_v one_o thing_n under_o divers_a name_n without_o any_o tautology_n however_o we_o believe_v that_o by_o teach_v and_o baptise_v be_v mean_v two_o several_a thing_n both_o which_o require_v the_o special_a operation_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n for_o a_o man_n through_o teach_v by_o the_o concurrence_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v first_o of_o all_o convince_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o have_v a_o ground_n lay_v in_o he_o to_o believe_v and_o then_o he_o be_v baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n upon_o his_o believe_v and_o obey_v in_o what_o he_o be_v convince_v of_o nor_o be_v this_o to_o confound_v the_o command_n with_o the_o promise_n for_o the_o sense_n of_o it_o be_v this_o go_v you_o and_o baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n instrumental_o and_o i_o shall_v be_v with_o you_o as_o the_o principal_a cause_n to_o concur_v and_o assist_v you_o and_o thus_o there_o be_v no_o tautology_n the_o command_n and_o the_o promise_n be_v in_o diverso_fw-la genere_fw-la id_fw-la est_fw-la in_o a_o different_a kind_n their_o next_o argument_n to_o prove_v that_o water-baptism_n be_v to_o continue_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n be_v that_o god_n send_v john_n to_o baptize_v with_o water_n and_o christ_n cause_v john_n baptize_v he_o and_o command_v or_o cause_v his_o apostle_n baptize_v with_o water_n and_o these_o command_n be_v never_o formal_o repeal_v nor_o cease_v of_o their_o own_o nature_n therefore_o but_o to_o this_o the_o answer_n be_v easy_a for_o johns_n baptism_n be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o gospel_n dispensation_n as_o serve_v only_o to_o prepare_v the_o way_n to_o christ_n and_o he_o be_v send_v only_o to_o baptise_v the_o jew_n that_o christ_n may_v be_v manifest_a to_o israel_n joh._n 1_o 31._o and_o it_o be_v call_v johns_n baptism_n in_o distinction_n from_o that_o of_o christ_n for_o some_o be_v baptize_v with_o it_o who_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o that_o christ_n be_v baptize_v with_o water_n prove_v not_o its_o continuance_n no_o more_o than_o that_o he_o be_v circumcise_v prove_v the_o continuance_n of_o circumcision_n that_o christ_n command_v his_o disciple_n to_o baptize_v with_o water_n we_o find_v not_o and_o though_o it_o be_v it_o be_v but_o as_o at_o that_o time_n be_v under_o john_n dispensation_n but_o unless_o they_o can_v prove_v that_o christ_n command_v to_o baptise_v all_o nation_n with_o water_n and_o that_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n they_o gain_v nothing_o for_o what_o be_v command_v only_o as_o towards_o the_o jew_n do_v not_o reach_v we_o gentile_n and_o so_o we_o need_v seek_v no_o repeal_n there_o not_o have_v be_v any_o such_o command_n in_o their_o answer_v our_o retortion_n as_o touch_v wash_v the_o foot_n anoint_v the_o sick_a with_o oil_n and_o abstain_v from_o blood_n and_o thing_n strangle_v they_o say_v 1._o this_o retortion_n have_v a_o damnable_a tendency_n for_o enthusiast_n may_v arise_v and_o plead_v the_o same_o way_n against_o the_o most_o necessary_a truth_n etc._n etc._n we_o answer_v they_o have_v no_o ground_n from_o our_o retortion_n so_o to_o do_v because_o these_o thing_n above_o mention_v be_v but_o figure_n and_o such_o as_o have_v no_o inward_a or_o intrinsical_v goodness_n or_o righteousness_n in_o they_o as_o the_o other_o thing_n have_v which_o be_v most_o necessary_a 2._o whereas_o they_o say_v if_o these_o thing_n have_v be_v command_v and_o never_o repeal_v it_o be_v better_a to_o admit_v and_o observe_v they_o then_o to_o reject_v baptism_n etc._n etc._n we_o answer_v if_o by_o repeal_n they_o mean_v a_o formal_a repeal_n we_o deny_v that_o it_o be_v better_a for_o all_o be_v but_o figurative_a thing_n and_o such_o as_o the_o inward_a law_n of_o god_n write_v in_o our_o heart_n which_o be_v the_o new_a covenant_n dispensation_n do_v not_o require_v of_o we_o they_o cease_v of_o their_o own_o nature_n and_o carry_v a_o virtual_a repeal_n in_o their_o bosom_n although_o it_o be_v not_o formal_o express_v in_o the_o scripture_n as_o to_o every_o particular_a for_o all_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v not_o one_o by_o one_o particular_o repeal_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n but_o together_o in_o one_o body_n for_o the_o law_n itself_o be_v change_v the_o thing_n require_v by_o it_o if_o they_o have_v no_o other_o law_n to_o require_v they_o do_v cease_v 3._o they_o say_v that_o christ_n in_o wash_v his_o disciple_n foot_n do_v 2_o thing_n 1._o to_o seal_v up_o to_o his_o disciple_n their_o part_n in_o he_o 2._o he_o intend_v to_o
