not_o however_o i_o hope_v to_o show_v that_o we_o have_v more_o reason_n to_o question_v water-baptism_n than_o we_o have_v to_o question_v outward_a teach_v to_o that_o end_n that_o i_o may_v both_o

that_o commission_n say_v concern_v it_o by_o which_o i_o have_v some_o hope_n we_o may_v perceive_v whether_o outward_a or_o spiritual_a baptism_n be_v intend_v by_o our_o saviour_n and_o if_o it_o do_v appear_v what_o baptism_n be_v the_o subject_a of_o our_o saviour_n discourse_n though_o not_o express_o mention_v in_o the_o commission_n i_o hope_v it_o may_v suffice_v luke_n have_v it_o

speak_v on_o this_o subject_a by_o all_o which_o in_o all_o reason_n it_o shall_v remain_v no_o long_o a_o doubt_n what_o baptism_n be_v there_o intend_v as_o the_o the_o gospel-baptism_n upon_o all_o which_o i_o be_o willing_a to_o make_v these_o few_o follow_a observation_n first_o that_o these_o relation_n of_o the_o several_a evangelist_n relate_v to_o and_o be_v a_o account_n of_o our_o saviour_n discourse_n concern_v this_o subject_a at_o his_o farewell_n be_v therefore_o speak_v at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n second_o that_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o baptism_n insist_v on_o by_o our_o lord_n be_v his_o own_o spiritual_a baptism_n even_o that_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o be_v so_o particular_o express_v as_o well_o as_o confirm_v by_o other_o phrase_n and_o term_n synonimous_a as_o the_o power_n from_o on_o high_a the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n etc._n etc._n three_o since_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o discourse_n of_o our_o lord_n relate_v to_o baptism_n be_v not_o of_o water_n but_o the_o spirit_n which_o he_o then_o promise_v they_o shall_v witness_v not_o many_o day_n hence_o and_o thereupon_o bid_v they_o tarry_v at_o jerusalem_n till_o they_o be_v endue_v then_o bid_v they_o go_v teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o into_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n etc._n etc._n and_o we_o know_v most_o common_o the_o name_n of_o the_o

to_o be_v baptize_v into_o even_o into_o a_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a life_n and_o the_o true_a and_o proper_a signification_n of_o the_o particle_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d in_o the_o text_n be_v into_o and_o not_o in_o so_o it_o natural_o follow_v the_o baptism_n in_o the_o text_n be_v spiritual_a baptism_n four_o see_v it_o be_v the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n our_o lord_n be_v treat_v of_o there_o be_v no_o need_n when_o he_o come_v to_o give_v the_o commission_n to_o express_v it_o afresh_o though_o i_o do_v say_v baptise_v into_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n etc._n etc._n do_v signify_v spiritual_a baptism_n it_o be_v the_o subject_a of_o his_o discourse_n at_o that_o juncture_n though_o if_o he_o have_v intend_v water_n there_o have_v be_v a_o absolute_a necessity_n to_o have_v mention_v it_o because_o it_o have_v be_v a_o alter_a the_o subject_a of_o his_o present_a discourse_n even_o from_o spiritual_a to_o elementary_a baptism_n five_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o the_o commission_n do_v much_o press_n the_o necessity_n of_o spiritual_a baptism_n since_o it_o be_v to_o the_o nation_n that_o lay_v in_o much_o wickedness_n and_o therefore_o need_v 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 be_v equal_o encourage_v tell_v they_o all_o power_n in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n be_v give_v unto_o he_o and_o he_o will_v be_v with_o they_o always_o seven_o and_o last_o how_o can_v we_o think_v our_o lord_n intend_v water-baptism_n when_o at_o the_o same_o time_n he_o apply_v water_n to_o john_n as_o belong_v to_o his_o dispensation_n say_v john_n true_o baptize_v with_o water_n but_o you_o shall_v be_v baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o very_a relish_n of_o these_o word_n at_o this_o instant_n at_o give_v this_o commission_n be_v enough_o i_o shall_v think_v to_o satisfy_v all_o that_o it_o be_v far_o from_o our_o lord_n to_o institute_v water_n when_o he_o apply_v it_o thus_o to_o john_n as_o a_o thing_n past_a and_o true_o very_a reason_n itself_o be_v on_o
