nothing_o be_v a_o great_a support_n to_o christian_n under_o all_o their_o temptation_n and_o suffering_n than_o to_o remember_v that_o they_o have_v a_o merciful_a and_o compassionate_a high_a

of_o christian_n john_n but_o though_o christ_n represent_v himself_o as_o a_o vine_n and_o christian_n as_o branch_n in_o the_o vine_n who_o derive_v their_o spiritual_a life_n and_o nourishment_n from_o he_o yet_o our_o historian_n will_v not_o allow_v that_o he_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n in_o this_o neither_o but_o only_o intercede_v with_o god_n to_o give_v his_o grace_n to_o we_o thus_o

ourselves_o to_o their_o institution_n and_o guidance_n not_o as_o to_o creature_n but_o as_o to_o god_n who_o be_v both_o the_o author_n and_o the_o object_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o worship_n no_o

of_o interpreter_n unto_o john_n and_o the_o doctrine_n by_o he_o deliver_v but_o in_o the_o first_o place_n he_o misrepresents_a the_o argument_n which_o be_v that_o the_o son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n be_v god_n because_o we_o be_v baptize_v in_o their_o name_n as_o we_o be_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o together_o with_o he_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o

the_o name_n of_o moses_n for_o that_o have_v join_v moses_n with_o god_n as_o our_o saviour_n join_v the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n with_o the_o father_n in_o the_o form_n of_o baptism_n but_o he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o do_v this_o that_o in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o observe_v that_o the_o jew_n never_o be_v literal_o baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o moses_n or_o in_o the_o name_n of_o john_n as_o christian_n be_v by_o our_o saviour_n institution_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n moses_n do_v not_o baptise_v the_o

sea_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o to_o baptize_v into_o moses_n be_v a_o figurative_a and_o allusive_a expression_n and_o do_v not_o and_o can_v signify_v that_o they_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o moses_n because_o it_o be_v not_o true_a for_o though_o we_o shall_v grant_v 27._o as_o he_o argue_v that_o to_o be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n and_o baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n signify_v the_o same_o thing_n when_o man_n be_v literal_o baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o demonstration_n that_o to_o be_v baptize_v into_o moses_n and_o baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o moses_n can_v signify_v the_o same_o thing_n because_o those_o who_o be_v mystical_o baptize_v into_o moses_n never_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o moses_n and_o it_o be_v burlesque_a scripture_n to_o make_v any_o phrase_n and_o expression_n signify_v that_o which_o never_o be_v i_o will_v only_o ask_v this_o author_n whether_o the_o jew_n be_v baptize_v

i_o deny_v that_o to_o be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n and_o baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n signify_v the_o same_o thing_n for_o to_o be_v baptize_v into_o jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o relate_v to_o the_o form_n of_o administer_a baptism_n in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n but_o to_o the_o effect_n of_o it_o in_o unite_n we_o to_o christ_n and_o incorporate_n we_o with_o he_o as_o
