kingdom_n and_o therefore_o in_o heb._n 6.1_o the_o apostle_n come_v in_o with_o these_o word_n leave_v say_v he_o mark_v leave_v the_o principle_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n let_v we_o go_v on_o unto_o perfection_n come_v friends_z deal_v plain_o for_o your_o own_o soul_n good_a and_o god_n glory_n and_o tarry_v not_o short_a of_o he_o that_o make_v perfect_a and_o cleanse_v from_o all_o iniquity_n and_o be_v persuade_v to_o come_v and_o wait_v for_o the_o true_a baptism_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o fire_n that_o you_o may_v be_v sanctify_v and_o refine_a and_o make_v every_o whit_n whole_a for_o it_o be_v in_o much_o love_n to_o your_o soul_n that_o these_o line_n be_v write_v by_o one_o that_o desire_v your_o salvation_n even_o as_o his_o own_o and_o true_o breathe_v for_o the_o prosperity_n of_o zion_n and_o the_o establishment_n of_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n but_o now_o some_o may_v object_n and_o say_v that_o the_o apostle_n can_v not_o have_v leave_v they_o if_o they_o have_v not_o be_v in_o they_o or_o in_o the_o use_n of_o they_o i_o answer_v true_a they_o have_v so_o and_o have_v also_o be_v in_o the_o use_n of_o those_o thing_n the_o law_n have_v require_v but_o mark_v all_o these_o can_v not_o make_v perfect_a the_o law_n make_v nothing_o perfect_a say_v the_o apostle_n as_o pertain_v to_o the_o conscience_n and_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n say_v you_o be_v but_o a_o type_n now_o if_o the_o type_n can_v make_v perfect_a then_o there_o will_v have_v be_v no_o need_n of_o the_o substance_n for_o if_o perfection_n have_v be_v by_o the_o levitical_a priesthood_n then_o very_o righteousness_n will_v have_v be_v by_o the_o law_n and_o now_o say_v i_o if_o john_n '_o s_o baptism_n can_v have_v take_v or_o have_v wash_v away_o sin_n then_o very_o righteousness_n will_v have_v be_v by_o john_n i_o mean_v that_o man_n will_v have_v be_v then_o by_o it_o make_v perfect_o and_o true_o righteous_a but_o john_n himself_o preach_v no_o such_o thing_n by_o himself_o but_o say_v i_o be_o not_o he_o but_o behold_v he_o the_o lamb_n of_o god_n that_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n this_o be_v he_o of_o who_o i_o speak_v one_o mighty_a than_o i_o come_v he_o must_v increase_v of_o the_o increase_n
