your_o power_n and_o authority_n in_o this_o matter_n that_o you_o both_o preach_v and_o baptise_v whereas_o paul_n say_v he_o be_v not_o send_v to_o baptise_v but_o to_o preach_v and_o we_o say_v and_o know_v what_o we_o say_v to_o be_v true_a that_o we_o be_v not_o send_v to_o baptise_v into_o water_n but_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o our_o authority_n come_v not_o by_o man_n of_o

that_o this_o baptism_n you_o practise_v can_v be_v john_n nor_o christ_n it_o can_v be_v for_o he_o never_o have_v water_n ascribe_v to_o he_o but_o john_n who_o be_v a_o true_a minister_n in_o his_o time_n of_o water-baptism_n say_v he_o mean_v christ_n shall_v baptise_v you_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o fire_n so_o then_o if_o not_o john_n as_o it_o be_v clear_a it_o be_v not_o for_o john_n be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o true_a baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o when_o the_o type_n figure_n vail_n and_o shadow_n be_v end_v and_o he_o the_o end_n and_o beginning_n first_o and_o last_o

the_o substance_n so_o that_o it_o be_v clear_a the_o baptism_n you_o use_v be_v not_o john_n and_o it_o be_v much_o more_o clear_a that_o it_o be_v not_o christ_n baptism_n and_o so_o it_o must_v

prize_v it_o and_o obey_v it_o that_o you_o may_v be_v save_v by_o it_o for_o it_o be_v not_o a_o fair_a outside_o of_o the_o cup_n and_o platter_n but_o the_o inward_a wash_v of_o regeneration_n by_o the_o spirit_n and_o a_o live_n in_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o whole_a worship_n of_o god_n say_v we_o and_o the_o scripture_n the_o same_o that_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n be_v in_o spirit_n

be_v there_o for_o the_o continuance_n of_o it_o to_o the_o world_n end_n since_o also_o you_o can_v prove_v it_o so_o command_v for_o once_o more_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o that_o that_o baptism_n command_v in_o mat._n 28._o be_v into_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n or_o holy_a ghost_n but_o i_o say_v this_o be_v not_o john_n for_o they_o that_o have_v be_v baptize_v unto_o john_n baptism_n have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o hear_v of_o a_o holy_a ghost_n act_n 19.1_o 2_o 3_o 4._o which_o they_o must_v needs_o have_v do_v if_o they_o have_v be_v baptize_v with_o the_o use_n of_o these_o word_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n but_o further_a you_o acknowledge_v yourselves_o that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o type_n well_o i_o ask_v you_o then_o what_o do_v it_o type_n forth_o unto_o we_o or_o what_o be_v it_o a_o type_n of_o if_o it_o be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n than_o i_o ask_v you_o what_o further_a need_n there_o be_v of_o it_o when_o the_o thing_n signify_v by_o it_o be_v come_v or_o do_v you_o think_v that_o type_n and_o substance_n must_v remain_v together_o to_o the_o world_n end_n be_v it_o not_o always_o from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o law_n that_o when_o the_o substance_n come_v than_o the_o shadow_n flee_v away_o but_o although_o you_o shall_v still_o say_v why_o then_o do_v the_o apostle_n use_v it_o after_o the_o spirit_n be_v baptism_n be_v accomplish_v i_o answer_v as_o before_o the_o apostle_n have_v power_n over_o it_o after_o they_o see_v beyond_o it_o and_o can_v submit_v unto_o the_o weakness_n of_o believer_n capacity_n in_o many_o thing_n as_o above_o be_v mention_v but_o that_o they_o see_v not_o beyond_o it_o till_o it_o be_v reveal_v unto_o they_o be_v clear_a but_o then_o they_o speak_v of_o the_o one_o baptism_n of_o the_o one_o lord_n and_o of_o the_o one_o faith_n and_o so_o john_n himself_o when_o he_o see_v jesus_n walk_v he_o say_v unto_o his_o follower_n behold_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n that_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o john_n disciple_n leave_v john_n mark_v they_o leave_v john_n and_o walk_v no_o more_o with_o he_o for_o john_n baptism_n can_v not_o wash_v they_o from_o their_o sin_n but_o behold_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n take_v away_o sin_n put_v a_o end_n to_o sin_n finish_v transgression_n and_o bring_v in_o everlasting_a righteousness_n he_o make_v every_o whit_n whole_a and_o full_o save_v to_o the_o utmost_a they_o that_o come_v to_o god_n by_o he_o and_o make_v clean_o they_o that_o he_o wash_v and_o if_o i_o wash_v thou_o not_o say_v he_o thou_o have_v no_o part_n in_o i_o he_o satisfy_v for_o he_o be_v the_o bridegroom_n himself_o but_o john_n be_v not_o he_o it_o be_v true_a be_v the_o bridegroom_n friend_n and_o will_v not_o rob_v he_o of_o his_o prerogative_n or_o honour_n but_o rejoice_v to_o hear_v his_o voice_n and_o when_o it_o be_v hear_v say_v this_o my_o joy_n therefore_o be_v fulfil_v so_o we_o own_o john_n in_o his_o place_n and_o time_n but_o we_o own_o the_o bridegroom_n above_o john_n although_o john_n be_v his_o friend_n and_o do_v what_o be_v

of_o the_o weakness_n of_o their_o yet_o childish_a capacity_n to_o submit_v to_o their_o weakness_n in_o many_o thing_n that_o belong_v unto_o the_o law_n as_o well_o as_o in_o this_o of_o john_n and_o be_v it_o not_o also_o clear_a that_o the_o apostle_n will_v not_o yet_o seem_v to_o lay_v the_o building_n if_o i_o may_v so_o call_v it_o of_o john_n waste_n until_o they_o have_v lay_v and_o build_v on_o a_o more_o sure_a foundation_n nor_o whole_o preach_v his_o baptism_n useless_a nor_o the_o law_n neither_o until_o such_o time_n as_o the_o gospel_n have_v get_v some_o hold_n of_o the_o people_n and_o then_o they_o testify_v of_o one_o lord_n one_o faith_n one_o baptism_n and_o that_o by_o one_o spirit_n they_o be_v all_o baptise_a into_o one_o body_n and_o have_v be_v all_o make_v to_o drink_v into_o one_o spirit_n and_o that_o they_o be_v make_v able_a minister_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n not_o of_o the_o letter_n but_o of_o the_o spirit_n and_o come_v not_o with_o word_n man_n wisdom_n teach_v but_o with_o word_n the_o holy_a ghost_n teach_v with_o which_o they_o be_v now_o baptise_a compare_v spiritual_a thing_n with_o spiritual_a not_o carnal_a or_o external_n or_o elemental_a thing_n with_o spiritual_a as_o you_o do_v no_o no_o but_o spiritual_a with_o spiritual_n now_o they_o see_v by_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o spirit_n into_o the_o mystery_n of_o god_n 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
