to_o say_v he_o mean_v the_o spirit_n be_v by_o the_o same_o reason_n altogether_o groundless_a for_o he_o say_v not_o be_v baptize_v with_o the_o spirit_n but_o know_v thou_o this_o god_n have_v give_v we_o understanding_n to_o know_v his_o will_n by_o his_o word_n sure_o when_o he_o say_v baptize_v he_o will_v have_v we_o know_v what_o he_o mean_v so_o that_o we_o must_v express_v with_o what_o or_o confess_v our_o own_o ignorance_n i_o have_v already_o prove_v this_o baptism_n be_v the_o baptism_n of_o water_n and_o i_o say_v again_o to_o baptise_v proper_o signify_v to_o dip_v in_o

which_o baptism_n be_v a_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o for_o you_o to_o say_v object_n christ_n have_v a_o baptism_n of_o water_n be_v to_o make_v two_o baptism_n whereof_o one_o of_o they_o be_v of_o your_o own_o invention_n for_o to_o say_v christ_n have_v two_o baptism_n be_v to_o give_v the_o scripture_n the_o lie_n if_o we_o shall_v say_v there_o be_v two_o baptism_n the_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 say_v there_o be_v but_o one_o baptism_n which_o be_v of_o water_n therefore_o for_o any_o to_o say_v there_o be_v a_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n they_o give_v this_o scripture_n the_o lie_n which_o manner_n of_o argument_n be_v it_o far_o from_o i_o for_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n there_o be_v to_o draw_v the_o saint_n into_o unity_n from_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o

have_v not_o of_o the_o gospel_n which_o every_o saint_n have_v yet_o one_o faith_n so_o one_o baptism_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o baptism_n of_o water_n of_o the_o the_o spirit_n and_o of_o affliction_n which_o in_o one_o respect_n be_v divers_a yet_o in_o another_o they_o be_v one_o that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o unity_n the_o one_o not_o destroy_v the_o other_o water_z spirit_z and_o affliction_n

upon_o the_o same_o ground_n not_o the_o same_o with_o that_o the_o apostle_n preach_v for_o john_n hold_v forth_o a_o christ_n to_o come_v to_o die_v to_o suffer_v to_o take_v away_o sin_n but_o now_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v that_o christ_n be_v come_v dead_a rise_v ascend_v up_o to_o heaven_n and_o sit_v at_o god_n right_a hand_n 2._o john_n baptize_v person_n believe_v in_o a_o christ_n to_o come_v after_o he_o but_o now_o he_o that_o shall_v baptize_v into_o a_o christ_n as_o not_o come_v deny_v the_o faith_n for_o this_o be_v the_o antichrist_n that_o deny_v

from_o the_o dead_a john_n baptism_n point_v at_o remission_n of_o sin_n to_o be_v by_o jesus_n christ_n but_o the_o baptism_n of_o water_n administer_v by_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n hold_v forth_o remission_n of_o sin_n already_o and_o they_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v to_o manifest_v their_o sin_n be_v pardon_v 3._o the_o subject_n of_o john_n baptism_n be_v only_a jew_n it_o be_v say_v of_o he_o all_z judea_n and_o jerusalem_n come_v out_o to_o be_v baptize_v in_o jordan_n but_o christ_n be_v go_v preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o every_o creature_n viz._n jew_n and_o gentile_n baptise_v

the_o lord_n but_o this_o follow_v after_o as_o in_o cornelius_n and_o if_o by_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n you_o mean_v regeneration_n the_o baptism_n of_o water_n always_o follow_v that_o atleast_a the_o profession_n of_o it_o which_o be_v the_o true_a ground_n of_o visible_a administration_n 5._o the_o commission_n by_o which_o the_o baptism_n of_o water_n be_v dispense_v be_v

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 establish_v upon_o a_o more_o strong_a foundation_n christ_n humble_v and_o exalt_v dead_a and_o rise_v therefore_o be_v the_o believer_n who_o be_v fill_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n baptize_v with_o 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 god_n plant_v not_o nor_o water_n which_o will_v be_v strange_a to_o affirm_v to_o conclude_v this_o likewise_o i_o shall_v only_o desire_v you_o to_o mind_v this_o if_o the_o baptism_n of_o water_n 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 how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o be_v baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v use_v by_o peter_n as_o a_o undeniable_a argument_n that_o cornelius_n shall_v be_v baptize_v with_o water_n sure_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

the_o truth_n dazzle_v man_n eye_n with_o the_o bare_a notion_n of_o mystery_n spirit_n life_n or_o substance_n we_o may_v safe_o conclude_v that_o baptism_n of_o water_n be_v christ_n baptism_n as_o

so_o that_o when_o john_n say_v i_o must_v decrease_v they_o can_v understand_v nothing_o to_o be_v mean_v but_o water_n baptism_n when_o it_o be_v not_o john_n intention_n but_o john_n show_v his_o glory_n his_o honour_n and_o ministry_n must_v give_v way_n to_o and_o be_v swallow_v up_o in_o christ_n and_o decrease_v in_o this_o respect_n that_o he_o must_v die_v and_o cease_v but_o christ_n increase_v by_o his_o death_n through_o which_o he_o give_v new_a institution_n i_o have_v already_o show_v the_o difference_n and_o agreement_n of_o christ_n and_o john_n baptism_n wherein_o i_o have_v prove_v the_o baptism_n of_o water_n to_o be_v the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n but_o christ_n say_v to_o the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n woman_n believe_v i_o the_o hour_n come_v when_o you_o
