prove_v no_o authority_n of_o christ_n for_o water_n baptism_n in_o his_o kingdom_n which_o be_v the_o church_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n now_o the_o other_o place_n mat._n 28._o 19_o go_v you_o

to_o prove_v water-baptism_n to_o be_v a_o institution_n of_o christ._n indeed_o i_o find_v that_o where_o ever_o men_n have_v meet_v with_o the_o word_n baptism_n or_o baptise_v in_o the_o scripture_n present_o their_o thought_n have_v descend_v to_o material_a water_n they_o not_o so_o well_o consider_v or_o understand_v that_o water_n which_o be_v the_o spirit_n which_o be_v the_o only_a water_n that_o perform_v all_o the_o baptism_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n now_o for_o that_o place_n go_v teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o they_o understand_v it_o thus_o teach_v they_o and_o baptise_v they_o with_o material_a water_n use_v this_o form_n of_o word_n i_o baptise_v thou_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n etc._n etc._n but_o herein_o they_o err_v from_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n for_o by_o these_o word_n christ_n lead_v his_o disciple_n from_o john_n baptism_n to_o his_o own_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v john_n indeed_o baptise_a with_o water_n and_o you_o have_v hitherto_o use_v his_o baptism_n but_o i_o shall_v now_o short_o baptise_v you_o with_o my_o own_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o from_o that_o time_n i_o will_v have_v you_o go_v teach_v all_o nation_n and_o by_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o spirit_n not_o baptise_v they_o or_o dip_v they_o in_o cold_a water_n as_o john_n do_v in_o his_o own_o baptism_n and_o you_o in_o he_o but_o baptise_v they_o or_o dip_v they_o into_o the_o name_n of_o god_n the_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n and_o note_v that_o he_o say_v not_o here_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d in_o

they_o or_o dip_v they_o or_o interest_n they_o into_o the_o name_n of_o god_n who_o be_v the_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n as_o he_o have_v discover_v himself_o in_o his_o last_o and_o most_o

true_a merciful_a righteous_a good_a etc._n etc._n that_o be_v your_o ministry_n after_o you_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n shall_v have_v such_o efficacy_n that_o it_o shall_v clothe_v man_n with_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o transform_v they_o into_o his_o very_a nature_n so_o that_o this_o place_n can_v be_v understand_v of_o water_n but_o instead_o of_o baptise_v in_o material_a

19_o through_o many_o kingdom_n country_n village_n people_n but_o i_o say_v paul_n though_o he_o use_v not_o water-baptism_n yet_o do_v punctual_o fulfil_v the_o command_n of_o christ_n and_o do_v teach_v they_o and_o baptise_v they_o into_o the_o name_n of_o god_n so_o that_o no_o question_n there_o be_v many_o church_n plant_v in_o paul_n time_n who_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o receive_v the_o spirit_n and_o walk_v in_o fellowship_n with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o with_o one_o another_o in_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n who_o never_o be_v wash_v at_o all_o with_o water_n baptism_n but_o paul_n know_v well_o that_o no_o outward_a thing_n be_v of_o any_o account_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o that_o as_o circumcision_n and_o uncircumcision_n be_v nothing_o so_o neither_o water-baptism_n nor_o the_o want_n of_o it_o be_v any_o thing_n but_o a_o new_a creature_n be_v all_o and_o if_o there_o be_v faith_n and_o the_o spirit_n they_o be_v sufficient_a to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n without_o any_o outward_a ceremony_n whatsoever_o so_o that_o neither_o of_o these_o two_o place_n prove_v any_o institution_n of_o water_n baptism_n of_o christ_n but_o that_o still_o remain_v john_n baptism_n and_o not_o christ_n 6._o object_n the_o last_o and_o that_o which_o seem_v the_o strong_a objection_n be_v that_o the_o apostle_n practise_v water_n baptism_n not_o only_o before_o christ_n baptism_n come_v in_o but_o after_o and_o this_o be_v most_o evident_a in_o very_a many_o place_n in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n answ._n i_o answer_v true_a indeed_o the_o apostle_n do_v practice_v water_n baptism_n but_o not_o from_o christ_n but_o from_o john_n who_o baptism_n they_o take_v up_o and_o a_o outward_a ceremony_n of_o honour_n and_o account_n be_v not_o easy_o and_o sudden_o lay_v down_o and_o hence_o some_o of_o the_o apostle_n use_v circumcision_n and_o that_o after_o the_o ascension_n of_o christ_n for_o circumcision_n be_v a_o honourable_a ceremony_n use_v from_o abraham_n time_n and_o so_o they_o can_v not_o no_o not_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n sudden_o and_o abrupt_o leave_v it_o off_o but_o they_o do_v use_v it_o for_o a_o time_n for_o their_o sake_n who_o be_v weak_a well_o know_v that_o the_o circumcision_n without_o hand_n will_v by_o degree_n put_v a_o end_n to_o the_o circumcision_n make_v with_o hand_n for_o ceremony_n be_v best_a lay_v down_o and_o old_a custom_n best_o lay_v aside_o by_o the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o power_n of_o righteousness_n and_o so_o in_o like_a manner_n the_o apostle_n use_v the_o baptism_n of_o john_n or_o water-baptism_n it_o have_v be_v of_o high_a account_n in_o the_o dawn_n of_o the_o day_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o for_o the_o present_a still_o continue_v so_o but_o they_o know_v that_o spirit_n or_o fire-baptism_n will_v by_o degree_n consume_v water-baptism_n and_o lick_v up_o all_o the_o drop_n of_o it_o for_o so_o john_n himself_o intimate_v say_v he_o must_v increase_v but_o i_o must_v decrease_v that_o be_v the_o truth_n must_v eat_v out_o the_o ceremony_n and_o the_o substance_n the_o sign_n and_o the_o more_o his_o ministry_n and_o baptism_n come_v in_o i_o shall_v go_v out_o and_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o son_n shall_v swallow_v up_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o servant_n as_o the_o sun-light_n do_v the_o moonlight_n and_o the_o baptism_n of_o fire_n shall_v devour_v the_o baptism_n of_o water_n and_o his_o spirit-baptism_n by_o degree_n

be_v the_o christ_n wherefore_o john_n to_o take_v they_o off_o from_o that_o gross_a and_o dangerous_a mistake_n plain_o tell_v they_o all_o and_o that_o open_o that_o he_o be_v not_o the_o christ_n

that_o wash_v the_o body_n only_o with_o a_o corporeal_a element_n but_o one_o mighty_a than_o i_o come_v for_o i_o be_o but_o a_o creature_n he_o the_o power_n of_o god_n i_o but_o a_o servant_n he_o

unworthy_a to_o perform_v the_o mean_a and_o low_a office_n for_o he_o and_o have_v thus_o first_o speak_v mean_o of_o his_o own_o baptism_n and_o then_o magnify_v christ_n person_n above_o his_o own_o he_o say_v he_o shall_v baptise_v you_o with_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o with_o fire_n that_o be_v i_o that_o be_o a_o servant_n do_v baptise_v with_o water_n but_o he_o that_o be_v the_o
