A91351	A cryer in the vvildernesse of England, declaring the baptisme of the eternall spirit, to be the onely baptisme in Christs kingdome published in Gospel-light, according to the word written in the Scriptures, and the eternall word written in the hidden man of the heart, for satisfaction of those, who are satisfied with truth alone. By Edward Punch of Carisbrook in the Isle of Wight, who is not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, because it is the power of God to salvation.

baptism_n of_o this_o nature_n do_v only_o agree_v with_o such_o a_o kingdom_n as_o this_o wherein_o creature_n be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n their_o own_o corruption_n be_v

not_o forget_v the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n revelation_n 22._o 18_o 19_o and_o we_o may_v as_o well_o put_v in_o word_n in_o other_o place_n as_o here_o as_o for_o example_n where_o

to_o baptise_v so_o than_o any_o of_o the_o apostle_n see_v he_o be_v to_o go_v into_o all_o the_o world_n where_o no_o ordinance_n of_o god_n have_v ever_o be_v but_o you_o will_v say_v that_o

in_o all_o his_o epistle_n unto_o any_o but_o he_o give_v god_n thanks_o that_o he_o baptize_v no_o more_o v._o 14._o lest_o they_o shall_v scandal_n he_o about_o it_o but_o he_o be_v so_o zealous_a for_o all_o the_o command_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o value_v not_o his_o life_n so_o it_o may_v be_v accomplish_v and_o if_o this_o have_v be_v a_o command_n of_o christ_n he_o will_v not_o have_v

what_o p●rsons_n do_v say_v against_o he_o in_o the_o fulfil_n of_o it_o but_o if_o water-baptism_n be_v in_o the_o commission_n of_o christ_n to_o the_o other_o apostle_n than_o paul_n have_v but_o a_o part_n of_o the_o commission_n of_o christ_n give_v unto_o he_o for_o he_o be_v not_o send_v to_o baptise_v with_o water_n and_o so_o christ_n give_v a_o whole_a commission_n to_o some_o and_o but_o a_o piece_n to_o the_o rest_n 8._o if_o water-baptism_n must_v be_v mean_v here_o then_o in_o all_o place_n where_o baptism_n be_v speak_v if_o it_o must_v be_v mean_v of_o water_n though_o

the_o new_a testament_n i_o shall_v therefore_o fair_o answer_v all_o objection_n that_o be_v against_o this_o clear_a truth_n according_a to_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o pure_a and_o clear_a word_n of_o truth_n even_o as_o many_o as_o i_o do_v at_o present_a know_v and_o have_v hear_v of_o and_o though_o there_o may_v be_v many_o more_o than_o i_o have_v hear_v of_o yet_o though_o i_o can_v

may_v judge_v of_o it_o who_o be_v not_o bias_v with_o any_o form_n or_o opinion_n or_o judgement_n of_o man_n whatsoever_o but_o desire_n to_o look_v upon_o truth_n in_o its_o own_o light_n for_o

many_o objection_n against_o spirit_n baptism_n and_o for_o to_o maintain_v water_n baptism_n i_o care_v not_o much_o where_o i_o begin_v object_n 1._o first_o than_o it_o will_v be_v object_v that_o
