and_o declare_v to_o those_o poor_a wound_a soul_n that_o they_o may_v have_v ground_n to_o repent_v and_o believe_v the_o gospel_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o text_n say_v the_o promise_n be_v to_o they_o before_o they_o do_v believe_v that_o they_o may_v have_v ground_n to_o believe_v and_o obey_v the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o this_o make_v not_o for_o believe_v seed_n be_v under_o a_o

privilege_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o in_o that_o particular_a yourselves_o do_v lie_v under_o evil_a in_o deny_v child_n church_n privilege_n namely_o that_o privilege_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n the_o which_o of_o right_n belong_v to_o every_o member_n of_o christ_n church_n for_o they_o that_o be_v or_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v or_o to_o continue_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o

privilege_n that_o be_v proper_o account_v church_n privilege_n you_o do_v deprive_v child_n of_o and_o also_o when_o you_o write_v again_o resolve_v this_o question_n whether_o the_o lord_n supper_n of_o right_n do_v not_o belong_v to_o all_o that_o be_v baptize_v unless_o they_o be_v cast_v out_o forsin_n and_o if_o so_o then_o clear_v yourselves_o if_o you_o can_v of_o deprive_v child_n of_o church_n privilege_n but_o you_o may_v see_v this_o also_o be_v discourse_v and_o answer_v in_o my_o former_a treatise_n entitle_v dagon_n down-fall_a and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o examination_n of_o that_o cite_a place_n mat._n 28.29_o go_v disciple_n all_o nation_n or_o make_v disciple_n all_o nation_n and_o baptise_v they_o to_o which_o you_o will_v have_v i_o read_v john_n 4_o 1_o 2_o 3._o the_o which_o be_v equivolent_a with_o the_o word_n in_o mat._n 28._o the_o which_o be_v read_v thus_o when_o therefore_o the_o lord_n know_v how_o the_o pharisee_n have_v beard_n that_o jesus_n

without_o measure_n and_o so_o be_v his_o water_n baptism_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v brief_o the_o strength_n of_o your_o reason_n lie_v in_o these_o word_n there_o be_v a_o parallel_n say_v you_o between_o john_n baptism_n and_o christ_n and_o john_n baptism_n be_v that_o of_o water_n and_o christ_n that_o of_o the_o spirit_n and_o say_v you_o christ_n baptism_n be_v by_o pour_v of_o a_o few_o drop_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n and_o hence_o you_o conclude_v that_o because_o christ_n baptism_n with_o the_o spirit_n be_v by_o springle_v as_o you_o say_v and_o yet_o be_v call_v baptism_n equivolent_a with_o that_o of_o john_n which_o be_v with_o water_n therefore_o water_n baptism_n may_v be_v by_o sprinkle_v and_o this_o be_v the_o sum_n &_o whole_a strength_n of_o reason_n that_o you_o produce_v answer_v and_o first_o to_o the_o first_o there_o may_v be_v a_o true_a parallel_n between_o john_n baptism_n and_o christ_n john_n do_v dip_v or_o thorough_o wash_v the_o people_n of_o the_o regons_n of_o judea_n and_o jerusalem_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d or_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d that_o he_o may_v prepare_v a_o people_n for_o the_o lord_n and_o as_o john_n do_v prepare_v a_o people_n for_o the_o lord_n by_o dip_v or_o through_o wash_v so_o christ_n will_v not_o many_o day_n after_o prepare_v a_o people_n for_o god_n his_o father_n by_o dip_v or_o through_o wash_v of_o they_o by_o his_o holy_a syirit_n the_o which_o i_o have_v prove_v already_o that_o the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v not_o compare_v to_o a_o little_a water_n but_o to_o river_n of_o water_n and_o as_o touch_v that_o of_o sprinkle_v so_o often_o mention_v in_o the_o law_n it_o may_v be_v grant_v that_o it_o may_v possible_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o pour_v forth_o of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o last_o day_n because_o not_o only_a isaiah_n but_o joel_n also_o 2.28_o joel_n 2.28_o with_o other_o prophet_n speak_v of_o sprinkle_v many_o nation_n 52.15_o esay_n 52.15_o and_o of_o pour_v out_o of_o his_o spirit_n upon_o all_o flesh_n 2.16_o act._n 2.16_o but_o yet_o this_o be_v no_o whit_n for_o your_o purpose_n for_o what_o if_o it_o be_v so_o 36.25_o ezek._n 36.25_o that_o god_n do_v pour●forth_o of_o his_o spirit_n and_o that_o by_o rantize_v that_o be_v to_o say_v by_o sprinkle_v or_o scatter_v here_o or_o there_o or_o disperse_v in_o divers_a

in_o many_o nation_n that_o be_v to_o say_v one_o of_o eighty_o or_o two_o of_o a_o family_n or_o if_o it_o be_v more_o yet_o such_o as_o do_v enjoy_v the_o spirit_n and_o be_v cleanse_v thereby_o

as_o he_o be_v plounge_v with_o the_o spirit_n so_o he_o be_v also_o plounge_v in_o water_n to_o signify_v his_o be_v plounge_v with_o or_o in_o the_o spirit_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o if_o it_o be_v true_a what_o you_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v plounge_v in_o water_n to_o represent_v that_o he_o be_v plounge_v with_o the_o spirit_n receive_v it_o without_o measure_n and_o if_o that_o be_v the_o only_a reason_n that_o christ_n be_v dip_v or_o plounge_v as_o you_o seem_v to_o affirm_v than_o none_o must_v be_v dip_v or_o plounge_v but_o such_o as_o have_v receive_v the_o

that_o be_v a_o water_n baptism_n yet_o they_o go_v on_o dry_a ground_n answer_v i_o know_v the_o text_n say_v that_o they_o be_v all_o baptise_a viz._n all_o the_o father_n but_o how_o you_o will_v prove_v it_o to_o be_v water_n baptism_n i_o know_v not_o for_o the_o apostle_n call_v it_o no_o such_o thing_n only_o say_v they_o be_v baptize_v and_o we_o know_v there_o be_v a_o baptism_n of_o

stand_v still_o and_o trust_v in_o god_n to_o see_v his_o salvation_n i_o know_v not_o how_o you_o can_v deny_v it_o upon_o good_a ground_n but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n i_o think_v no_o sober_a man_n will_v deny_v because_o both_o the_o text_n in_o exodus_fw-la and_o that_o in_o the_o corinth_n imply_v so_o much_o for_o we_o find_v that_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n

forth_o and_o we_o may_v very_o well_o see_v if_o we_o be_v not_o blind_a that_o god_n spiritual_a presence_n be_v very_o great_a to_o israel_n in_o the_o cloud_n be_v a_o light_n to_o lead_v they_o
