and_o evidence_n from_o they_o that_o john_n baptism_n and_o christ_n be_v distinct_a 1._o johns_n baptism_n and_o christ_n be_v distinct_a in_o their_o appellation_n in_o scripture_n for_o john_n

three_o year_n yet_o affirm_v that_o which_o john_n have_v say_v of_o he_o touch_v his_o baptism_n with_o the_o spirit_n be_v not_o yet_o fulfil_v but_o be_v short_o to_o be_v fulfil_v as_o appear_v act_n 1._o 4_o 5_o christ_n be_v assemble_v with_o the_o apostle_n command_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o depart_v from_o jerusalem_n but_o wait_v for_o the_o promise_n 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 baptise_a with_o the_o spirit_n not_o many_o day_n hence_o and_o this_o be_v fulfil_v at_o the_o day_n of_o pentecost_n whence_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o christ_n baptism_n do_v not_o go_v along_o with_o john_n and_o make_v that_o up_o one_o entire_a baptism_n with_o it_o self_n see_v it_o follow_v almost_o four_o year_n after_o and_o therefore_o john_n baptism_n and_o christ_n must_n needs_o be_v distinct_a 3._o it_o be_v evident_a that_o christ_n baptism_n and_o john_n be_v distinct_a in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n be_v necessary_a for_o those_o very_a person_n who_o have_v before_o be_v baptise_a with_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n whereas_o if_o john_n baptism_n have_v be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o with_o christ_n that_o only_o have_v be_v sufficient_a but_o now_o those_o who_o john_n have_v baptise_a with_o water_n christ_n be_v to_o baptise_v again_o with_o th●_n spirit_n as_o in_o that_o place_n before_o mention_v i_o have_v

the_o baptism_n of_o repentance_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n but_o there_o the_o head_n who_o be_v free_a from_o sin_n be_v baptise_a for_o the_o body_n which_o be_v full_a of_o sin_n that_o he_o may_v fulfil_v all_o righteousness_n in_o his_o own_o person_n and_o this_o be_v a_o great_a honour_n to_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n that_o christ_n though_o in_o reference_n to_o our_o flesh_n more_o than_o his_o own_o submit_v himself_o to_o it_o thus_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n be_v very_o honourable_a and_o of_o high_a account_n in_o its_o time_n so_o that_o the_o very_a disciple_n of_o christ_n take_v it_o up_o and_o christ_n himself_o suffer_v they_o because_o john_n baptism_n be_v the_o sign_n and_o forerunner_n of_o his_o and_o because_o the_o time_n of_o his_o own_o baptism_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v but_o christ_n himself_o use_v it_o not_o as_o john_n witness_v chap._n 4._o 2._o saying_n jesus_n himself_o baptise_a not_o but_o his_o disciple_n to_o wit_n with_o john_n baptism_n which_o be_v water-baptism_n for_o it_o become_v not_o the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o baptise_v with_o a_o creature_n nor_o the_o lord_n of_o all_o to_o use_v the_o baptism_n of_o a_o servant_n and_o thus_o have_v show_v how_o honourable_a john_n baptism_n be_v in_o it_o self_n wherein_o i_o conceive_v i_o have_v not_o do_v he_o though_o a_o servant_n the_o least_o prejudice_n but_o have_v full_o attribute_v to_o his_o office_n whatever_o the_o word_n or_o he_o himself_o a_o messenger_n from_o god_n attribute_n to_o it_o i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o show_v that_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n how_o honourable_a and_o excellent_a soever_o be_v yet_o far_o beneath_o and_o below_o christ_n yea_o and_o most_o weak_a and_o imperfect_a in_o comparison_n of_o he_o for_o first_o john_n baptism_n be_v with_o a_o creature_n with_o the_o element_n of_o water_n for_o the_o creature_n can_v baptise_v but_o with_o the_o creature_n that_o be_v john_n with_o water_n and_o so_o this_o be_v far_o beneath_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n by_o god_n the_o work_n of_o the_o father_n by_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o son_n by_o the_o spirit_n 2._o john_n baptism_n be_v tantum_fw-la exterius_fw-la lavacrum_fw-la but_o outward_a and_o reach_v the_o outward_a man_n only_o the_o baptism_n of_o water_n reach_v but_o the_o

ever_o and_o so_o it_o be_v far_o beneath_o christ_n which_o reach_v the_o soul_n the_o baptism_n of_o john_n be_v the_o baptism_n of_o body_n but_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n the_o baptism_n of_o soul_n and_o only_o the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n reach_v the_o spirit_n and_o attain_v to_o the_o soul_n conscience_n and_o inner_a man_n to_o purge_v and_o purify_v they_o 3._o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n be_v but_o a_o sign_n and_o ceremony_n though_o it_o have_v more_o life_n and_o light_n in_o it_o than_o any_o of_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o law_n as_o be_v near_o to_o christ_n and_o

not_o give_v the_o spirit_n one_o drop_n of_o the_o spirit_n yea_o some_o who_o be_v baptise_a with_o john_n baptism_n do_v not_o know_v the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n perfect_o that_o be_v have_v no_o certain_a knowledge_n of_o christ_n the_o only_a way_n to_o god_n as_o apollo_n acts._n 18._o yea_o some_o of_o they_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o know_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o holy_a ghost_n or_o no_o as_o those_o twelve_o disciple_n act_n 19_o much_o less_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n second_o neither_o do_v it_o give_v repentance_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n for_o what_o be_v the_o plunge_a of_o a_o man_n in_o cold_a water_n towards_o repentance_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n but_o these_o be_v the_o work_n of_o christ_n own_o baptism_n which_o be_v the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n for_o no_o man_n can_v repent_v of_o sin_n but_o by_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o his_o heart_n which_o be_v the_o work_n of_o that_o spirit_n which_o be_v give_v in_o christ_n baptism_n neither_o can_v any_o remit_v sin_n but_o god_n our_o sin_n be_v never_o forgive_v by_o god_n till_o god_n dwell_v in_o we_o through_o jesus_n christ_n by_o the_o

and_o no_o earthly_a or_o corporal_a thing_n can_v give_v entrance_n into_o it_o the_o baptism_n in_o the_o water_n of_o jordan_n can_v deliver_v no_o man_n up_o into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n

for_o than_o that_o only_o have_v be_v sufficient_a and_o there_o have_v be_v no_o need_n of_o christ_n to_o come_v and_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n as_o it_o be_v

must_v take_v great_a heed_n that_o we_o do_v not_o so_o magnify_v john_n office_n as_o to_o entrench_v on_o christ_n and_o to_o make_v the_o son_n out_o of_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o father_n to_o take_v up_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n a_o servant_n and_o to_o administer_v one_o entire_o his_o own_o sure_o this_o will_v not_o have_v be_v suitable_a to_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o only_o beget_v
