baptism_n to_o have_v it_o administer_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o son_n as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o father_n wherefore_o john_n who_o by_o reason_n of_o this_o office_n be_v call_v baptist_n do_v it_o not_o in_o his_o own_o name_n on_o the_o contrary_n declare_v himself_o but_o a_o minister_n when_o he_o point_v at_o christ_n and_o say_v i_o indeed_o baptize_v you_o with_o water_n but_o he_o
