yourself_o at_o a_o loss_n by_o grant_v that_o christ_n baptism_n be_v by_o plunge_v in_o water_n because_o i_o have_v say_v that_o if_o christ_n baptism_n be_v by_o dip_v or_o plunge_v and_o he_o leave_v we_o a_o example_n that_o we_o shall_v follow_v his_o step_n than_o we_o ought_v also_o to_o be_v dip_v or_o plunge_v but_o you_o say_v i_o read_v the_o sentence_n in_o your_o parenthesis_n amiss_o may_v you_o not_o be_v ashamed_a so_o to_o say_v see_v it_o be_v plain_a to_o be_v read_v in_o your_o book_n your_o word_n be_v these_o christ_n only_a be_v plunge_v with_o the_o spirit_n

judge_v whether_o you_o do_v not_o confess_v that_o christ_n water_n baptism_n be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o you_o say_v be_v by_o plunge_v object_n and_o whereas_o you_o say_v that_o christ_n go_v up_o into_o the_o mountain_n and_o yet_o not_o cover_v in_o the_o earth_n and_o so_o he_o go_v into_o the_o water_n and_o yet_o not_o cover_v with_o it_o answ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v baptise_a in_o the_o mountain_n but_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o be_v baptise_a in_o the_o water_n and_o so_o it_o be_v say_v of_o philip_n and_o the_o eunuch_n but_o it_o will_v he_o grant_v that_o christ_n may_v go_v many_o time_n into_o the_o water_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v cover_v in_o it_o but_o it_o can_v be_v imagine_v that_o john_n can_v dip_v or_o plunge_v or_o over-whelm_a or_o sink_v as_o the_o word_n baptizo_fw-la will_v render_v it_o christ_n into_o the_o water_n and_o yet_o christ_n not_o cover_v in_o water_n and_o beside_o all_o this_o the_o proper_a signification_n of_o baptism_n be_v a_o burial_n and_o resurrection_n as_o i_o before_o have_v show_v yet_o notwithstanding_o i_o shall_v give_v a_o few_o reason_n here_o to_o prove_v that_o baptism_n be_v dip_v or_o plunge_v and_o the_o first_o reason_n be_v reas_n 1._o because_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d or_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d render_v no_o other_o thing_n as_o a_o proper_a derivation_n but_o mergo_fw-la or_o immergo_fw-la which_o be_v to_o dip_v to_o plunge_v to_o overwhelm_v to_o thrust_v into_o the_o water_n or_o to_o sink_v and_o such_o like_a word_n as_o these_o which_o show_v that_o the_o person_n baptise_a be_v to_o be_v cover_v in_o water_n reas_n 2._o second_o christ_n be_v so_o baptize_v namely_o plunge_v as_o you_o have_v affirm_v in_o your_o former_a book_n and_o we_o be_v to_o follow_v his_o example_n therefore_o be_v to_o be_v cover_v as_o christ_n be_v in_o baptism_n reas_n 3._o and_o three_o it_o signify_v a_o burial_n as_o say_v the_o apostle_n paul_n rom._n 2.4_o col._n 2.12_o and_o a_o man_n can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v bury_v unless_o he_o be_v cover_v with_o earth_n or_o the_o like_a object_n and_o this_o bring_v i_o to_o the_o answer_n of_o your_o objection_n p._n 7._o where_o you_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v bury_v in_o a_o rock_n and_o have_v no_o earth_n to_o cover_v he_o and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v say_v you_o that_o person_n baptize_v must_v be_v cover_v in_o the_o water_n answ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v cover_v be_v clear_a for_o his_o body_n be_v put_v into_o a_o new_a sepulchre_n and_o a_o stone_n roll_v against_o the_o door_n or_o mouth_n of_o the_o sepulchre_n for_o in_o that_o age_n it_o be_v usual_a to_o bury_v the_o dead_a in_o sepulcher_n which_o be_v as_o our_o grave_n and_o that_o his_o body_n be_v cover_v be_v evident_a because_o when_o mary_n come_v early_o in_o the_o morning_n to_o the_o sepulchre_n although_o the_o stone_n be_v roll_v away_o from_o the_o mouth_n yet_o she_o be_v fain_o to_o stoop_v down_o to_o look_v into_o it_o to_o see_v whether_o she_o can_v see_v jesus_n imply_v that_o the_o earth_n cover_v he_o out_o of_o her_o sight_n but_o i_o need_v not_o trouble_v myself_o to_o prove_v that_o which_o be_v so_o clear_a for_o the_o scripture_n say_v although_o i_o suppose_v you_o have_v forget_v it_o that_o as_o jonah_n be_v three_o day_n and_o three_o night_n in_o the_o whale_n belly_n so_o shall_v the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v three_o day_n

10.41_o and_o john_n himself_o when_o the_o jew_n send_v priest_n and_o levite_n from_o jerusalem_n to_o he_o say_v who_o be_v thou_o be_v thou_o elias_n he_o say_v i_o be_o not_o elias_n john_n

thing_n represent_v or_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o thing_n call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o thing_n figure_v and_o hence_o we_o may_v see_v although_o i_o can_v say_v much_o more_o of_o thing_n of_o this_o nature_n that_o both_o christ_n word_n and_o also_o john_n be_v true_a christ_n call_v john_n elias_n it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v john_n be_v a_o figure_n of_o elias_n or_o

that_o christ_n do_v not_o say_v in_o so_o many_o word_n that_o john_n shall_v not_o die_v for_o if_o he_o have_v it_o may_v have_v beget_v some_o dislike_n and_o murmur_v among_o his_o disciple_n

because_o i_o be_o a_o speak_n of_o john_n death_n i_o shall_v show_v you_o the_o opinion_n of_o some_o or_o what_o they_o have_v write_v as_o touch_v his_o death_n although_o i_o will_v not_o be_v understand_v to_o believe_v all_o what_o be_v write_v concern_v he_o i_o say_v allege_v it_o out_o of_o tertullian_n that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o nero_n though_o other_o say_v in_o the_o reign_n of_o domitian_n he_o be_v throw_v at_o rome_n into_o a_o tun_n of_o boil_a oil_n and_o thereby_o he_o take_v no_o harm_n but_o come_v forth_o after_o this_o trial_n pure_a than_o he_o go_v in_o and_o so_o say_v abdias_n augustine_n call_v he_o a_o martyr_n by_o will_n and_o that_o which_o he_o write_v of_o his_o end_n be_v strange_a of_o all_o which_o be_v that_o john_n at_o ephesus_n cause_v his_o grave_n to_o be_v make_v and_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o divers_a go_v in_o alive_a and_o be_v no_o soon_o in_o but_o there_o seem_v he_o be_v dead_a they_o cover_v he_o which_o kind_n of_o rest_n say_v he_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v term_v a_o sleep_n than_o death_n for_o that_o the_o earth_n of_o the_o grave_n bubble_v or_o boil_v up_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o a_o well_o by_o reason_n of_o john_n rest_v therein_o and_o breathe_v a_o sign_n of_o his_o slumber_v therein_o as_o you_o may_v see_v august_n in_o john_n tract_n 124._o &_o also_o repeat_v by_o the_o translator_n in_o his_o

indeed_o there_o be_v division_n among_o ancient_a writer_n as_o touch_v john_n but_o i_o shall_v leave_v these_o thing_n and_o come_v to_o the_o second_o reason_n which_o be_v second_o because_o the_o angel_n tell_v john_n that_o he_o must_v prophesy_v again_o not_o preach_v again_o before_o many_o people_n and_o nation_n and_o tongue_n and_o king_n which_o relate_v to_o the_o time_n of_o

10.11_o three_o john_n say_v there_o be_v give_v to_o i_o a_o reed_n like_o unto_o a_o rod_n and_o the_o angel_n stand_v say_v rise_v and_o measure_v the_o temple_n of_o god_n and_o the_o altar_n and_o they_o that_o worship_n therein_o but_o the_o court_n without_o the_o temple_n leave_v out_o and_o measure_v it_o not_o for_o it_o be_v give_v unto_o the_o gentile_n and_o the_o holy_a city_n shall_v they_o tread_v under_o foot_n forty_o and_o two_o month_n and_o i_o will_v give_v power_n unto_o my_o two_o witness_n and_o they_o shall_v prophesy_v a_o thousand_o two_o hundred_o and_o

unto_o he_o that_o he_o may_v prophesy_v again_o before_o nation_n tongue_n and_o king_n and_o the_o like_a but_o also_o he_o be_v the_o man_n that_o be_v to_o measure_n jerusalem_n at_o the_o time_n of_o its_o last_o building_n when_o the_o holy_a city_n be_v to_o be_v take_v by_o the_o gentile_n and_o tread_v under_o foot_n as_o i_o before_o have_v prove_v and_o he_o be_v the_o other_o prophet_n

and_o they_o demand_v of_o he_o why_o he_o then_o baptise_a to_o prepare_v a_o people_n for_o the_o lord_n say_v why_o baptise_v thou_o then_o if_o thou_o be_v not_o that_o christ_n nor_o elias_n neither_o that_o prophet_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o jew_n look_v for_o elias_n and_o another_o prophet_n who_o name_n be_v not_o mention_v and_o therefore_o he_o be_v call_v that_o prophet_n or_o a_o prophet_n not_o name_v he_o john_n 1.21_o 25._o as_o the_o disciple_n who_o be_v to_o tarry_v until_o christ_n come_v be_v not_o plain_o mention_v but_o call_v the_o disciple_n who_o christ_n love_v who_o lean_v upon_o his_o breast_n at_o supper_n and_o the_o like_a but_o we_o understand_v he_o to_o be_v john_n because_o the_o text_n say_v this_o be_v the_o

enoch_n or_o moses_n shall_v be_v elija_n companion_n to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o two_o prophet_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o my_o judgement_n for_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n for_o moses_n to_o be_v one_o who_o have_v taste_v of_o death_n already_o neither_o be_v there_o any_o mention_n make_v of_o he_o as_o to_o such_o a_o work_n and_o as_o for_o enoch_n there_o be_v nothing_o speak_v of_o he_o

there_o be_v great_a reason_n that_o one_o of_o these_o two_o prophet_n shall_v be_v of_o the_o new_a testament_n a_o witness_n to_o jesus_n as_o well_o as_o elias_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o yet_o both_o to_o be_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n as_o elias_n and_o john_n be_v and_o final_o the_o people_n that_o the_o two_o witness_n be_v to_o prophesy_v unto_o be_v the_o remnant_n of_o
