that_o spiritual_a baptism_n by_o which_o they_o may_v become_v child_n of_o god_n and_o heir_n of_o heaven_n six_o see_v it_o be_v this_o spiritual_a baptism_n the_o nation_n want_v therefore_o it_o be_v our_o saviour_n be_v so_o very_o particular_a and_o careful_a that_o the_o apostle_n shall_v tarry_v at_o jerusalem_n till_o they_o be_v baptize_v themselves_o for_o he_o know_v right_o well_o that_o those_o that_o be_v not_o baptize_v themselves_o can_v not_o so_o much_o as_o be_v instrumental_a to_o the_o baptise_v of_o other_o for_o those_o that_o be_v not_o bear_v again_o themselves_o can_v not_o be_v proper_a person_n to_o the_o begete_v of_o other_o and_o because_o our_o lord_n know_v this_o to_o be_v a_o extraordinary_a work_n which_o he_o have_v command_v they_o to_o so_o he_o
