upon_o who_o thou_o shall_v see_v the_o spirit_n descend_v from_o heaven_n and_o remain_v on_o he_o the_o same_o be_v he_o that_o baptise_v with_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o v._o 34._o he_o declare_v that_o he_o see_v and_o bare_a record_n that_o this_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n so_o we_o see_v the_o testimony_n of_o john_n that_o he_o declare_v himself_o and_o his_o baptism_n to_o be_v weak_a and_o christ_n and_o his_o baptism_n to_o be_v strong_a and_o mighty_a and_o to_o follow_v after_o his_o therefore_o sure_a the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o material_a water_n as_o john_n be_v but_o if_o he_o can_v see_v truth_n in_o its_o own_o light_n than_o they_o may_v see_v it_o as_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o but_o general_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o look_v upon_o the_o word_n as_o man_n
