prodromus_n he_o be_v 2._o that_o christ_n himself_o may_v be_v anoint_v or_o install_v to_o his_o function_n 2._o isa_n 61.1_o 2._o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v upon_o i_o because_o the_o

on_o viz._n the_o preach_a and_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n 6._o upon_o what_o account_n be_v it_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v reveal_v himself_o at_o this_o time_n and_o why_o in_o form_n of_o a_o dove_n rather_o than_o some_o other_o form_n to_o the_o first_o i_o answer_v the_o holy_a ghost_n now_o reveal_v himself_o because_o the_o spiritual_a kingdom_n and_o sceptre_n of_o christ_n in_o and_o by_o which_o he_o be_v to_o rule_v all_o nation_n for_o ever_o be_v now_o at_o hand_n evang._n dr._n lightf_n harm_n of_o the_o evang._n it_o be_v agreeable_a say_v my_o author_n that_o the_o spiritualness_n of_o this_o kingdom_n shall_v be_v seal_v and_o confirm_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n show_v himself_o even_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o it_o the_o carnal_a rite_n of_o moses_n be_v now_o to_o vanish_v and_o his_o corporal_n and_o ceremonial_a observance_n be_v now_o to_o be_v change_v into_o a_o spiritual_a worship_n and_o neither_o at_o jerusalem_n or_o at_o mount_n gerazim_n nor_o elsewhere_o must_v there_o be_v any_o more_o adoration_n with_o fleshly_a and_o earthly_a ceremony_n 24._o john_n 4.21_o 24._o but_o he_o that_o will_v worship_n god_n must_v worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o now_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v reveal_v himself_o i_o say_v now_o when_o his_o spiritual_a dominion_n by_o sanctification_n be_v to_o begin_v second_o because_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v now_o in_o especial_a manner_n to_o be_v restore_v again_o some_o observe_v that_o he_o be_v visible_o depart_v from_o israel_n after_o the_o death_n of_o the_o last_o prophet_n and_o therefore_o now_o at_o his_o restore_n he_o come_v in_o a_o visible_a and_o apparent_a form_n and_o he_o light_v on_o he_o to_o who_o it_o belong_v to_o give_v the_o spirit_n and_o his_o gift_n to_o who_o he_o please_v as_o john_n have_v preach_v that_o christ_n shall_v baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o now_o the_o holy_a ghost_n come_v and_o abide_v on_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o john_n as_o if_o the_o father_n shall_v have_v say_v now_o i_o seal_v that_o power_n and_o privilege_n to_o christ_n my_o son_n which_o john_n have_v speak_v now_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v upon_o himself_o and_o hereafter_o he_o shall_v baptize_v other_o with_o the_o same_o holy_a ghost_n three_o because_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v most_o suitable_a that_o a_o full_a clear_a and_o sensible_a demonstration_n of_o the_o whole_a trinity_n shall_v be_v make_v the_o learned_a observe_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o scripture_n have_v a_o special_a regard_n to_o express_v this_o mystery_n of_o the_o trinity_n upon_o singular_a occasion_n so_o the_o very_a first_o thing_n that_o be_v teach_v in_o all_o the_o

the_o spirit_n of_o god_n move_v there_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o very_a first_o word_n of_o the_o bible_n that_o speak_v of_o a_o man_n it_o hold_v out_o the_o trinity_n as_o create_v

in_o our_o image_n to_o show_v the_o unity_n of_o essence_n and_o when_o moses_n begin_v to_o rehearse_v the_o law_n to_o israel_n the_o first_o thing_n he_o teach_v they_o be_v the_o trinity_n in_o

that_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o new_a world_n and_o the_o new_a law_n and_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n the_o three_o person_n shall_v be_v reveal_v especial_o since_o he_o ordain_v baptism_n to_o be_v admit_v in_o all_o their_o name_n baptise_v they_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n 28.19_o mat._n 28.19_o and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o where_o be_v it_o

this_o be_v the_o great_a meeting_n that_o ever_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n every_o person_n of_o the_o trinity_n give_v some_o sensible_a evidence_n of_o his_o presence_n at_o it_o to_o the_o

a_o practical_a necessary_a truth_n use_v use_v there_o be_v a_o generation_n that_o cry_v down_o baptism_n of_o water_n and_o upon_o this_o score_n because_o they_o suppose_v it_o be_v proper_a to_o john_n to_o baptise_v only_o with_o water_n and_o to_o christ_n to_o baptise_v only_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n indeed_o christ_n in_o his_o own_o person_n baptise_a none_o otherwise_o but_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n immediate_o after_o his_o ascension_n he_o send_v his_o spirit_n upon_o the_o church_n and_o baptize_v they_o with_o fire_n the_o spirit_n appear_v like_o a_o flame_n and_o to_o this_o day_n though_o not_o visible_o he_o baptize_v all_o his_o saint_n with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n but_o for_o all_o this_o he_o appoint_v john_n and_o not_o only_a john_n but_o all_o his_o apostle_n and_o their_o successor_n for_o ever_o to_o baptise_v with_o water_n and_o they_o do_v so_o and_o yet_o do_v so_o obey_v the_o preceptive_a word_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v almost_o the_o last_o word_n that_o he_o speak_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o though_o christ_n do_v not_o baptise_v with_o water_n yet_o christ_n himself_o we_o see_v here_o be_v baptise_a with_o water_n he_o himself_o enter_v at_o that_o door_n by_o which_o his_o disciple_n must_v for_o ever_o follow_v after_o he_o and_o indeed_o therefore_o he_o go_v in_o at_o that_o door_n of_o baptism_n that_o he_o may_v hallow_v or_o sanctify_v the_o entrance_n which_o himself_o make_v to_o the_o house_n he_o be_v now_o a_o building_n and_o for_o the_o difference_n they_o make_v betwixt_o christ_n baptism_n and_o john_n baptism_n what_o be_v this_o to_o the_o purpose_n we_o all_o know_v that_o in_o baptism_n be_v two_o part_n the_o outward_a part_n and_o the_o inward_a part_n you_o may_v call_v they_o if_o you_o please_v the_o outward_a baptism_n and_o the_o inward_a baptism_n the_o outward_a baptism_n be_v of_o the_o minister_n but_o the_o inward_a baptism_n be_v of_o christ_n but_o must_v we_o separate_v these_o or_o rather_o join_v they_o if_o these_o in_o ordinary_a must_v be_v join_v as_o we_o find_v they_o in_o christ_n 1.4_o mark_v 1.4_o and_o as_o we_o
