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

ult_n john_n 20._o ult_n which_o be_v not_o write_v in_o this_o book_n but_o these_o be_v write_v that_o you_o may_v believe_v that_o jesus_n be_v the_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n be_v all_o in_o the_o scripture_n which_o through_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n be_v able_a to_o make_v we_o perfect_a to_o every_o good_a work_n so_o that_o now_o for_o any_o to_o expect_v other_o miracle_n it_o argue_v they_o find_v not_o nor_o feel_v the_o power_n of_o christ_n in_o they_o by_o the_o spirit_n who_o be_v likely_a to_o meet_v with_o miracle_n but_o indeed_o they_o be_v such_o as_o antichrist_n shall_v work_v to_o deceive_v the_o nation_n who_o shall_v come_v and_o be_v come_v already_o with_o power_n sign_n and_o lie_v

truth_n from_o error_n true_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o miracle_n be_v no_o certain_a sign_n of_o sol._n the_o true_a gospel_n nor_o infallible_a ground_n of_o judge_v of_o it_o for_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 true_o to_o judge_v of_o miracle_n and_o of_o the_o difference_n of_o thing_n that_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o ten_o thousand_o error_n know_v how_o to_o single_a out_o the_o truth_n of_o jesus_n be_v 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 preach_v except_o apostle_n and_o they_o that_o be_v so_o send_v as_o they_o be_v i_o shall_v only_o say_v this_o to_o thou_o thou_o may_v as_o well_o expect_v christ_n to_o come_v again_o in_o the_o flesh_n to_o call_v more_o apostle_n to_o bear_v witness_n again_o of_o his_o resurrection_n which_o sure_o will_v be_v a_o very_a dark_a practice_n and_o blind_a expectation_n therefore_o let_v we_o remain_v with_o this_o confidence_n that_o those_o who_o god_n by_o his_o spirit_n give_v a_o message_n to_o and_o enable_v they_o to_o declare_v it_o for_o the_o gather_n of_o the_o saint_n into_o the_o fellowship_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v true_a approve_a minister_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n but_o if_o they_o be_v true_a minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n why_o do_v they_o not_o do_v as_o the_o

but_o among_o they_o some_o be_v principal_o apostle_n of_o the_o circumcision_n while_o paul_n be_v a_o minister_n or_o a_o apostle_n to_o the_o gentile_n but_o again_o some_o that_o preach_v the_o gospel_n preach_v it_o but_o in_o some_o particular_a place_n as_o many_o brethren_n that_o go_v to_o some_o city_n specify_v in_o the_o 8._o and_o 11._o of_o the_o acts._n so_o that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o the_o world_n though_o he_o never_o go_v out_o of_o his_o own_o city_n or_o country_n but_o some_o as_o paul_n and_o other_o be_v to_o go_v to_o several_a

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

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

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
