of_o inward_a acquaintance_n with_o the_o spirit_n by_o which_o he_o will_v experimental_o have_v witness_v that_o spiritual_a fire_n do_v accompany_v the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o to_o what_o he_o say_v

second_o reason_n ibid._n 17._o that_o water_n be_v the_o thing_n command_v matt._n 28._o 19_o and_o that_o the_o apostle_n practice_n in_o baptise_v with_o water_n be_v in_o obedience_n to_o that_o command_n which_o assertion_n of_o his_o depend_v upon_o that_o commission_n we_o now_o come_v to_o consider_v the_o same_o by_o which_o if_o it_o appear_v that_o water_n be_v not_o there_o command_v it_o thence_o follow_v what_o the_o apostle_n do_v in_o that_o of_o water_n be_v practice_n and_o not_o institution_n thus_o the_o text_n matt._n 28._o 19_o go_v you_o therefore_o and_o teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n now_o that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o understand_v water_n be_v intend_v by_o this_o

short_a by_o we_o and_o more_o large_o prove_v by_o w._n p._n 3ly_n because_o we_o find_v the_o apostle_n as_o instrument_n do_v by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n not_o of_o themselves_o baptise_v believer_n with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o prove_v also_o by_o w._n p._n last_o because_o we_o no_o where_n read_v when_o the_o apostle_n use_v water_n in_o outward_a baptism_n they_o follow_v the_o term_n of_o that_o commission_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v have_v they_o understand_v it_o water_n by_o do_v it_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n but_o do_v it_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n or_o lord_n jesus_n in_o which_o last_o form_n practiser_n of_o water_n baptism_n in_o our_o day_n will_v we_o suppose_v not_o think_v it_o right_o perform_v now_o for_o these_o reason_n with_o other_o which_o for_o brevity_n we_o omit_v we_o have_v no_o ground_n at_o all_o to_o believe_v that_o water_n be_v command_v by_o that_o commission_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a that_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n by_o his_o spirit_n be_v intend_v thereby_o consequent_o than_o what_o the_o apostle_n do_v in_o use_n of_o water_n must_v be_v practice_n and_o not_o institution_n as_o be_v the_o many_o legal_a rite_n circumcision_n purification_n vow_n shave_n etc._n etc._n which_o we_o find_v they_o also_o practise_v as_o well_o as_o water_n baptism_n even_o after_o they_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n farther_o we_o do_v not_o find_v any_o of_o the_o apostle_n mention_v water_n baptism_n to_o be_v any_o part_n of_o their_o mission_n nor_o yet_o recommend_v the_o practice_n of_o it_o in_o their_o epistle_n to_o any_o of_o the_o gather_a church_n in_o the_o first_o settlement_n though_o they_o do_v far_o lesser_a thing_n then_o some_o in_o our_o day_n account_v of_o water_n baptism_n and_o since_o they_o be_v silent_a therein_o we_o may_v well_o conclude_v that_o their_o practice_n in_o that_o of_o water_n be_v not_o from_o that_o command_n matt._n 28._o 19_o but_o on_o the_o same_o foot_n they_o do_v those_o other_o legal_a thing_n before_o mention_v nay_o we_o find_v that_o great_a apostle_n paul_n be_v so_o far_o from_o believe_v water_n baptism_n to_o be_v any_o part_n of_o his_o commission_n that_o he_o not_o only_a thanks_o god_n he_o baptise_a not_o more_o of_o the_o corinthian_n 1_o cor._n 1._o 14._o but_o add_v

and_o not_o give_v at_o the_o bp_n desire_n from_o whence_o we_o conclude_v that_o either_o the_o bp_n over_o eager_a desire_n for_o a_o advantage_n against_o the_o quaker_n make_v he_o fall_v into_o this_o mistake_n or_o he_o think_v it_o may_v pass_v with_o his_o unwary_a reader_n as_o a_o confirmation_n of_o his_o former_a charge_n about_o the_o quaker_n way_n of_o write_v but_o now_o since_o the_o bp._n be_v so_o critical_a about_o word_n may_v not_o we_o with_o more_o reason_n and_o justice_n return_v the_o charge_n upon_o himself_o where_o he_o say_v this_o be_v what_o the_o bp._n call_v write_v in_o such_o a_o way_n that_o be_v hard_o to_o know_v what_o be_v mean_v whereas_o what_o the_o bp._n say_v in_o his_o testimony_n before_o run_v thus_o you_o have_v such_o a_o way_n of_o write_v and_o speak_v that_o it_o be_v very_o hard_a in_o many_o matter_n of_o religion_n to_o know_v what_o you_o mean_v so_o that_o it_o be_v matter_n of_o religion_n he_o then_o speak_v of_o but_o that_o which_o he_o now_o apply_v this_o way_n of_o write_v and_o speak_v to_o be_v not_o matter_n of_o religion_n but_o a_o mere_a circumstance_n of_o w._n p_n visit_v the_o bp._n upon_o the_o
