spirit_n and_o the_o servant_n to_o the_o son_n so_o that_o christ_n baptism_n put_v a_o end_n to_o john_n free-baptism_n to_o water-baptism_n and_o spirit-baptism_n to_o creature-baptism_n for_o as_o all_o the_o prophet_n be_v until_o john_n so_o john_n be_v until_o christ_n and_o john_n must_v no_o more_o exceed_v his_o bound_n than_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n they_o but_o as_o the_o prophet_n give_v up_o to_o john_n so_o john_n must_v give_v up_o to_o christ._n john_n temporary_a ministry_n have_v a_o temporary_a baptism_n but_o the_o everlasting_a gospel_n which_o be_v that_o word_n in_o our_o flesh_n have_v a_o everlasting_a baptism_n which_o be_v the_o pour_v out_o of_o the_o spirit_n so_o then_o john_n be_v a_o servant_n and_o forerunner_n of_o christ_n christ_n be_v not_o to_o take_v up_o his_o baptism_n but_o john_n be_v to_o resign_v up_o his_o baptism_n to_o christ_n yea_o and_o as_o a_o servant_n to_o deliver_v up_o all_o thing_n into_o his_o hand_n as_o heir_n and_o lord_n and_o so_o john_n water-baptism_n be_v to_o last_v but_o till_o christ_n fire-baptism_n shall_v come_v in_o and_o then_o the_o fire_n shall_v lick_v up_o the_o water_n and_o as_o spirit_n baptism_n shall_v increase_v water-baptism_n shall_v decrease_v so_o that_o john_n baptism_n or_o water-baptism_n which_o be_v all_o one_o belong_v not_o to_o christ_n kingdom_n which_o be_v a_o kingdom_n not_o of_o the_o letter_n but_o of_o the_o spirit_n not_o of_o sign_n and_o shadow_n but_o of_o the_o truth_n and_o therefore_o we_o leave_v it_o where_o we_o find_v it_o even_o without_o the_o bound_n and_o reach_n of_o christ_n kingdom_n for_o john_n office_n and_o baptism_n reach_v unto_o christ_n kingdom_n but_o have_v no_o place_n in_o it_o and_o to_o bring_v sign_n and_o ceremony_n into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o truth_n be_v if_o right_o understand_v to_o act_v against_o christ_n glorify_v object_n but_o some_o will_v say_v this_o be_v strange_a indeed_o that_o water-baptism_n shall_v have_v no_o place_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o pray_v stay_v a_o little_a for_o we_o have_v many_o thing_n to_o object_n against_o it_o object_n 1._o why_o this_o will_v rob_v we_o of_o our_o christendom_n i_o answ._n no_o for_o it_o be_v not_o water_n but_o spirit_n baptism_n that_o make_v we_o christian_n and_o water-baptism_n have_v be_v a_o

of_o the_o congregation_n of_o christ._n object_n 2._o but_o have_v so_o many_o age_n err_v that_o have_v use_v water-baptism_n answ._n for_o the_o error_n of_o former_a age_n and_o their_o great_a mistake_n in_o many_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n i_o have_v nothing_o to_o say_v but_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n how_o unsearchable_a be_v his_o judgement_n and_o his_o way_n past_o find_v out_o 3._o object_n but_o you_o be_v the_o first_o man_n for_o aught_o we_o know_v that_o ever_o oppose_v it_o answ._n one_o single_a mean_a man_n with_o the_o word_n may_v very_o just_o and_o lawful_o

in_o the_o season_n of_o they_o 5._o object_n but_o christ_n justify_v and_o command_v water-baptism_n in_o john_n 3_o except_o a_o man_n be_v bear_v of_o water_n etc._n etc._n and_o mat._n 28._o teach_v and_o baptise_v answ._n i_o confess_v these_o be_v place_n that_o many_o have_v mistake_v to_o justify_v the_o practice_n of_o water-baptism_n but_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o that_o they_o do_v indeed_o misunderstand_v they_o for_o that_o first_o place_n john_n 3._o 5._o except_o a_o man_n be_v bear_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d of_o water_n and_o the_o spirit_n he_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n i_o confess_v many_o of_o the_o ancient_n have_v by_o water_n here_o understand_v material_a water_n and_o have_v interpret_v the_o place_n of_o external_n baptism_n which_o be_v john_n only_a and_o hereupon_o divers_a of_o they_o have_v exceed_o magnify_v water_n and_o ascribe_v it_o to_o the_o wash_v of_o soul_n and_o the_o regeneration_n of_o christian_n in_o some_o measure_n they_o not_o consider_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n what_o christ_n say_v in_o the_o very_a next_o verse_n that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o flesh_n be_v flesh_n but_o that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o spirit_n be_v spirit_n by_o which_o they_o may_v have_v learn_v that_o outward_a and_o corporal_a water_n can_v do_v nothing_o but_o outward_a and_o corporal_a thing_n and_o can_v contribute_v nothing_o to_o the_o cleanse_n of_o soul_n and_o conscience_n from_o sin_n so_o that_o this_o place_n can_v be_v understand_v of_o corporeal_a water_n and_o i_o can_v produce_v the_o testimony_n of_o many_o godly_a man_n of_o good_a note_n to_o this_o purpose_n but_o do_v forbear_v because_o i_o will_v not_o have_v our_o faith_n build_v upon_o the_o authority_n of_o man_n but_o the_o thing_n be_v evident_a from_o the_o text_n itself_o for_o it_o say_v except_o a_o man_n be_v bear_v of_o water_n which_o show_v the_o water_n he_o speak_v of_o must_v be_v such_o as_o be_v able_a to_o give_v a_o new_a birth_n and_o to_o make_v a_o man_n a_o new_a that_o be_v a_o spiritual_a holy_a heavenly_a creature_n and_o no_o water_n can_v do_v this_o but_o the_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o christ_n add_v to_o water_n the_o spirit_n by_o way_n of_o explication_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v no_o man_n can_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n except_o he_o be_v bear_v again_o of_o water_n but_o the_o water_n i_o speak_v of_o be_v no_o material_a water_n but_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v able_a to_o produce_v in_o we_o a_o heavenly_a nature_n through_o which_o only_o we_o can_v have_v a_o entrance_n into_o a_o heavenly_a kingdom_n see_v flesh_n and_o blood_n can_v inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n so_o that_o the_o water_n christ_n mean_v in_o this_o place_n be_v the_o spirit_n and_o many_o other_o place_n give_v witness_n to_o this_o john_n 4._o 10._o if_o thou_o do_v know_v who_o it_o be_v that_o say_v unto_o thou_o give_v i_o to_o drink_v thou_o will_v have_v ask_v of_o he_o and_o he_o will_v have_v give_v thou_o live_v water_n and_o verse_n 13_o 14._o jesus_n say_v unto_o she_o whosoever_o drink_v of_o this_o water_n mean_v the_o water_n of_o the_o well_o call_v jacob_n well_n shall_v thirst_v again_o but_o whosoever_o shall_v drink_v of_o the_o water_n that_o i_o shall_v give_v he_o shall_v never_o thirst_v but_o the_o water_n that_o i_o shall_v give_v he_o shall_v be_v in_o he_o a_o well_o of_o water_n spring_v up_o unto_o everlasting_a life_n and_o john_n 7._o 37_o 38._o jesus_n stand_v and_o cry_v say_v if_o any_o man_n thirst_n let_v he_o come_v unto_o i_o and_o drink_n he_o that_o believe_v on_o i_o as_o the_o scripture_n have_v say_v out_o of_o his_o belly_n shall_v flow_v river_n of_o live_a water_n but_o this_o speak_v he_o of_o the_o spirit_n which_o they_o that_o believe_v on_o he_o shall_v receive_v now_o by_o water_n in_o all_o these_o place_n be_v not_o mean_v material_a water_n but_o the_o spirit_n as_o christ_n himself_o explicate_v and_o sure_a his_o testimony_n alone_o be_v sufficient_a but_o again_o if_o in_o this_o place_n except_o a_o man_n be_v bear_v of_o water_n and_o spirit_n you_o will_v needs_o understand_v material_a water_n why_o then_o upon_o the_o same_o ground_n you_o must_v needs_o understand_v that_o place_n in_o matthew_n of_o material_a fire_n where_o it_o be_v say_v mat._n 3._o 11._o he_o shall_v baptise_v you_o with_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o with_o fire_n which_o be_v absurd_a to_o very_a reason_n to_o think_v but_o water_n and_o fire_n in_o each_o place_n add_v to_o the_o spirit_n show_v only_o the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o so_o you_o may_v as_o well_o bring_v in_o the_o use_n of_o material_a fire_n in_o baptism_n from_o the_o text_n in_o mat._n as_o of_o material_a water_n from_o the_o text_n in_o john_n so_o that_o this_o place_n in_o john_n

shall_v put_v a_o end_n to_o my_o water-baptism_n and_o therefore_o paul_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v after_o he_o have_v use_v this_o baptism_n twice_o or_o thrice_o quite_o for_o bore_v it_o and_o yet_o plant_v many_o church_n of_o christ_n and_o probable_o by_o degree_n do_v other_o apostle_n too_o for_o they_o know_v that_o christ_n baptism_n include_v john_n and_o be_v full_o sufficient_a of_o itself_o without_o it_o and_o therefore_o we_o find_v paul_n teach_v in_o christ_n kingdom_n but_o one_o baptism_n and_o this_o the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n eph._n 4._o from_o which_o the_o church_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n both_o jew_n and_o gentile_n be_v to_o take_v its_o beginning_n and_o not_o from_o outward_a element_n or_o water_n wash_v wherefore_o see_v these_o thing_n be_v so_o the_o anabaptist_n have_v extreme_o mistake_v who_o have_v make_v their_o water_n wash_v so_o essential_a a_o work_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o they_o will_v neither_o hear_v the_o word_n nor_o have_v christian_a communion_n with_o any_o one_o that_o be_v not_o so_o wash_v yea_o though_o they_o be_v convince_v touch_v they_o that_o they_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n this_o i_o say_v have_v be_v the_o great_a error_n of_o very_a many_o honest_a and_o well-meaning_a people_n through_o misunderstand_v the_o word_n to_o make_v wash_v with_o material_a water_n so_o necessary_a a_o thing_n in_o spiritual_a worship_n yea_o and_o more_o essential_a to_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n than_o the_o very_a spirit_n itself_o who_o i_o do_v not_o therefore_o judge_n but_o pity_v and_o this_o much_o for_o water-baptism_n which_o be_v john_n and_o belong_v only_o to_o that_o middle_a ministry_n betwixt_o the_o prophet_n and_o christ._n now_o the_o other_o baptism_n i_o be_o to_o speak_v of_o be_v christ_n which_o be_v spirit_n or_o fire-baptism_n and_o this_o be_v the_o one_o and_o only_a baptism_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o we_o find_v paul_n affirm_v eph._n 4._o 6._o where_o he_o say_v that_o in_o christ_n kingdom_n where_o be_v but_o one_o body_n and_o one_o spirit_n and_o one_o hope_v of_o our_o call_v and_o one_o lord_n and_o one_o faith_n there_o be_v also_o but_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d one_o baptism_n and_o this_o be_v the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o apostle_n elsewhere_o show_v say_v 1_o cor._n 12_o 13._o for_o by_o one_o spirit_n we_o be_v all_o baptise_a into_o one_o body_n and_o have_v be_v make_v all_o to_o drink_v into_o one_o spirit_n now_o this_o spirit_n baptism_n do_v not_o go_v along_o with_o john_n water-baptism_n but_o follow_v it_o about_o four_o year_n after_o as_o you_o have_v hear_v and_o as_o appear_v by_o the_o forementioned_a place_n of_o christ_n act._n 1._o 5._o where_o he_o tell_v his_o disciple_n say_v john_n very_o baptise_a with_o water_n but_o you_o shall_v be_v baptise_a with_o the_o holy_a spirit_n not_o many_o day_n hence_o and_o this_o promise_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o the_o father_n be_v fulfil_v at_o the_o day_n of_o pentecost_n when_o the_o apostle_n be_v all_o meet_v together_o there_o come_v a_o sound_n from_o heaven_n as_o of_o a_o mighty_a rush_a

be_v all_o fill_v with_o the_o spirit_n here_o be_v the_o first_o beginning_n of_o christ_n or_o spirit-baptism_n for_o it_o begin_v not_o till_o after_o the_o ascension_n of_o christ_n into_o heaven_n and_o his_o sit_v down_o on_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n and_o john_n the_o apostle_n also_o witness_n to_o this_o chap._n 7._o saying_n the_o spirit_n be_v not_o yet_o give_v because_o christ_n be_v not_o yet_o glorify_v but_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o be_v glorify_v then_o do_v he_o begin_v to_o baptise_v with_o the_o spirit_n not_o the_o apostle_n only_o but_o also_o the_o jew_n and_o gentile_n and_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n that_o do_v believe_v in_o his_o name_n through_o the_o word_n of_o the_o gospel_n so_o that_o then_o christ_n baptism_n begin_v to_o take_v place_n and_o to_o prevail_v as_o you_o may_v see_v act_n 8._o when_o the_o apostle_n that_o be_v at_o jerusalem_n have_v hear_v that_o samaria_n have_v receive_v the_o word_n of_o god_n by_o the_o preach_a of_o

only_o baptise_a with_o water_n say_v that_o they_o shall_v believe_v on_o christ_n that_o be_v to_o come_v after_o for_o john_n baptism_n be_v yet_o usual_a inasmuch_o as_o christ_n baptism_n be_v but_o new_o begin_v then_o do_v the_o apostle_n lay_v their_o hand_n on_o they_o and_o they_o receive_v the_o holy_a spirit_n so_o that_o here_o now_o be_v the_o progress_n of_o spirit-baptism_n and_o after_o when_o peter_n preach_v to_o cornelius_n and_o his_o family_n and_o friend_n the_o holy_a spirit_n fall_v upon_o they_o act._n 10._o and_o peter_n give_v this_o account_n to_o those_o of_o the_o circumcision_n at_o jerusalem_n act._n 11._o 15._o and_o as_o i_o begin_v to_o speak_v the_o holy_a spirit_n fall_v on_o they_o as_o on_o we_o at_o the_o beginning_n then_o remember_v i_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n how_o that_o he_o say_v john_n indeed_o baptise_a with_o water_n but_o you_o shall_v be_v baptise_a with_o the_o holy_a spirit_n so_o that_o peter_n evident_o declare_v the_o gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o be_v the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n or_o the_o baptism_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o fire_n which_o christ_n promise_v at_o his_o ascension_n into_o heaven_n and_o this_o be_v the_o only_a baptism_n wherein_o all_o the_o church_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v to_o partake_v with_o christ_n i_o say_v not_o the_o
