A81727 Gospel-Glory proclaimed before the sonnes of men, in the visible and invisible worship of God. Wherein the mystery of God in Christ, and his royall, spirituall government over the soules and bodies of his saints, is clearly discovered, plainly asserted, and faithfully vindicated, against the deceiver and his servants, who endeavour the cessation thereof, upon what pretence soever. / By Edward Drapes, an unworthy servant in the gospell of Christ.

of_o the_o gospel_n preach_v the_o true_a doctrine_n that_o thou_o may_v be_v able_a to_o judge_v they_o by_o their_o doctrine_n thou_o must_v be_v endue_v with_o the_o spirit_n whereby_o find_v the_o

for_o they_o be_v as_o much_o promise_v to_o believer_n as_o to_o preacher_n now_o miracle_n be_v wrought_v by_o many_o that_o do_v believe_v and_o so_o be_v that_o promise_n already_o fulfil_v for_o it_o be_v not_o make_v to_o every_o believer_n for_o paul_n say_v be_v all_o worker_n of_o miracle_n and_o so_o miracle_n in_o truth_n be_v for_o the_o silence_v of_o the_o world_n and_o make_v the_o

but_o further_a if_o miracle_n be_v so_o necessary_a to_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o the_o gospel_n can_v be_v dispense_v without_o they_o then_o i_o say_v why_o do_v john_n do_v no_o

the_o apostle_n mean_v the_o baptism_n of_o water_n in_o this_o scripture_n for_o he_o mention_n not_o the_o spirit_n nor_o water_n so_o that_o i_o may_v as_o well_o retort_v this_o objection_n and_o

antichrist_n shall_v work_v miracle_n so_o that_o except_o we_o know_v whether_o the_o miracle_n be_v true_a or_o feign_v from_o christ_n or_o antichrist_n we_o shall_v be_v never_o the_o never_o so_o that_o i_o say_v again_o first_o we_o can_v never_o tell_v which_o of_o they_o be_v in_o the_o truth_n except_o it_o be_v reveal_v to_o we_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n which_o be_v only_o able_a

only_o of_o its_o own_o nature_n so_o that_o again_o i_o desire_v thou_o may_v not_o seek_v after_o a_o sign_n like_o a_o foolish_a and_o adulterous_a generation_n leave_v while_o with_o herod_n thou_o will_v have_v christ_n but_o with_o a_o desire_n to_o see_v some_o miracle_n from_o he_o thou_o fall_v short_a of_o christ_n and_o christ_n work_v none_o at_o all_o before_o thou_o as_o indeed_o he_o for_o the_o most_o part_n if_o not_o always_o refuse_v to_o do_v to_o they_o that_o demand_v they_o of_o he_o but_o notwithstanding_o if_o thou_o shall_v yet_o say_v sure_o none_o may_v

the_o one_o they_o can_v do_v the_o other_o be_v peculiar_a to_o a_o ascend_v jesus_n therefore_o say_v john_n he_o viz._n christ_n shall_v baptize_v thou_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o fire_n

always_o call_v the_o baptism_n of_o john_n and_o no_o where_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v find_v a_o distinction_n between_o they_o and_o the_o disciple_n be_v say_v to_o baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n a_o second_o difference_n be_v this_o that_o the_o baptism_n of_o water_n administer_v by_o john_n cease_v for_o he_o say_v of_o himself_o i_o must_v decrease_v that_o be_v continuance_n they_o have_v not_o the_o like_a continuance_n to_o say_v my_o person_n my_o office_n my_o ministry_n must_v all_o stoop_v to_o christ_n who_o must_v increase_v johns_n doctrine_n cease_v in_o christ_n so_o his_o baptism_n for_o christ_n be_v come_v dead_a and_o rise_v john_n be_v not_o any_o long_o by_o his_o ministry_n to_o prepare_v his_o way_n and_o true_o if_o you_o take_v away_o the_o doctrine_n upon_o which_o any_o thing_n be_v administer_v you_o likewise_o take_v away_o the_o administration_n but_o now_o christ_n baptism_n endure_v be_v

the_o baptism_n of_o water_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n the_o continuation_n whereof_o i_o shall_v prove_v afterward_o thus_o be_v it_o manifest_a that_o the_o baptism_n of_o water_n be_v as_o well_o command_v by_o christ_n as_o by_o john_n and_o be_v not_o only_a johns_n baptism_n as_o many_o suppose_v and_o whereas_o john_n say_v i_o baptize_v you_o with_o water_n but_o christ_n shall_v baptize_v you_o with_o the_o spirit_n and_o fire_n it_o prove_v not_o that_o christ_n do_v not_o command_v his_o disciple_n to_o continue_v baptise_v with_o water_n but_o this_o it_o prove_v that_o christ_n baptism_n be_v great_a than_o johns_n johns_n be_v only_a water_n but_o christ_n water_n and_o the_o spirit_n too_o i_o say_v this_o expression_n of_o johns_n prove_v no_o more_o that_o christ_n have_v not_o a_o baptism_n of_o water_n than_o paul_n word_n say_v that_o paul_n plant_v and_o apollo_n water_v but_o it_o be_v god_n that_o give_v the_o blessing_n prove_v that_o

be_v only_a johns_n and_o to_o endure_v only_o till_o soul_n be_v baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o those_o that_o say_v water_n baptism_n be_v only_a john_n affirm_v then_o demand_v i_o

this_o be_v a_o undoubted_a truth_n that_o that_o dispensation_n which_o be_v the_o only_a ground_n of_o put_v a_o end_n to_o baptism_n of_o water_n as_o they_o say_v the_o baptism_n of_o the_o
