with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o in_o a_o proper_a but_o analogical_a and_o metaphorical_a sense_n rejoynder_n john_n faldo_n have_v do_v ill_a to_o drop_v my_o answer_n and_o render_v it_o so_o

that_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v and_o be_v the_o question_n between_o we_o i_o tell_v he_o that_o christ_n in_o all_o likelihood_n commissionated_a they_o to_o baptise_v with_o that_o

that_o he_o command_v they_o to_o baptise_v with_o his_o own_o baptism_n therefore_o not_o with_o water_n next_o because_o these_o word_n go_v teach_v baptise_v be_v some_o of_o the_o last_o word_n matthew_n report_v he_o to_o have_v speak_v while_n in_o the_o world_n they_o must_v need_v have_v relation_n to_o that_o say_v which_o luke_n record_v in_o act_n 1._o to_o have_v fall_v from_o he_o

of_o the_o father_n which_o say_v he_o you_o have_v hear_v of_o i_o for_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 i_o say_v the_o other_o passage_n in_o matthew_n must_v needs_o have_v relation_n to_o these_o word_n inasmuch_o as_o they_o be_v by_o two_o evangelist_n record_v to_o have_v be_v speak_v immediate_o before_o his_o ascension_n it_o be_v within_o four_o verse_n of_o this_o passage_n that_o luke_n tell_v we_o he_o be_v take_v up_o out_o of_o their_o sight_n for_o in_o this_o part_n of_o luke_n narrative_a the_o commission_n give_v we_o by_o matthew_n be_v whole_o omit_v which_o doubtless_o be_v speak_v at_o the_o same_o time_n for_o we_o frequent_o find_v that_o what_o one_o evangelist_n omit_v the_o other_o supply_v therefore_o i_o read_v the_o word_n thus_o john_n indeed_o baptize_v with_o water_n but_o you_o shall_v be_v baptise_a with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n then_o
