moses_n set_v up_o be_v good_a till_o it_o be_v idolise_v and_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n there_o be_v many_o thing_n use_v as_o sacrifice_n and_o burn_v offering_n sin_n offering_n and_o peace_n offering_n the_o blood_n of_o bull_n and_o goat_n the_o ash_n of_o a_o heifer_n with_o many_o outward_a thing_n but_o as_o to_o the_o sprinkle_v of_o child_n we_o never_o read_v of_o which_o make_v not_o the_o comer_n thereunto_o perfect_a as_o to_o the_o cleanse_n of_o the_o conscience_n for_o that_o be_v a_o work_n always_o do_v by_o the_o spirit_n and_o power_n of_o god_n though_o it_o please_v god_n to_o condescend_v to_o man_n low_a and_o weak_a capacity_n in_o these_o outward_a thing_n till_o the_o fullness_n of_o time_n be_v come_v in_o which_o he_o will_v send_v christ_n the_o substance_n of_o all_o those_o type_n and_o figure_n and_o shadowy_a outward_a thing_n and_o the_o substance_n be_v come_v to_o wit_n the_o messiah_n christ_n jesus_n the_o shadow_n end_v in_o he_o and_o the_o righteousness_n thereof_o come_v to_o be_v fulfil_v in_o they_o that_o believe_v and_o obey_v the_o truth_n to_o wit_n the_o follower_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o john_n he_o speak_v concern_v his_o commission_n or_o ministration_n that_o he_o be_v to_o decrease_v but_o christ_n be_v to_o increase_v for_o if_o you_o observe_v john_n be_v send_v a_o forerunner_n of_o christ_n to_o prepare_v the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o make_v his_o path_n straight_o and_o to_o baptise_v in_o water_n they_o that_o do_v believe_v the_o testimony_n of_o john_n concern_v christ_n and_o this_o be_v in_o order_n to_o a_o further_a work_n which_o christ_n will_v come_v to_o do_v as_o john_n say_v which_o be_v to_o baptise_v with_o fire_n and_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o they_o that_o be_v come_v to_o be_v baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n they_o be_v come_v to_o the_o substance_n christ_n jesus_n and_o to_o they_o the_o shadow_n be_v end_v and_o as_o for_o the_o word_n sacrament_n there_o be_v no_o such_o word_n in_o the_o scripture_n that_o i_o know_v but_o as_o concern_v christ_n break_v of_o bread_n with_o his_o disciple_n that_o be_v not_o speak_v of_o as_o in_o relation_n for_o all_o man_n to_o use_v it_o but_o to_o his_o disciple_n alone_o for_o he_o thus_o speak_v and_o say_v unto_o they_o as_o often_o as_o you_o do_v this_o do_v it_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o and_o in_o so_o do_v say_v he_o to_o they_o not_o to_o the_o world_n you_o show_v the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v for_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o they_o he_o that_o be_v with_o they_o shall_v be_v in_o they_o so_o they_o be_v to_o stay_v at_o jerusalem_n till_o they_o be_v endue_v with_o power_n from_o on_o high_a which_o be_v to_o know_v his_o second_o come_v spiritual_o without_o sin_n unto_o salvation_n which_o according_o he_o perform_v to_o they_o and_o then_o there_o be_v no_o need_n for_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n without_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o remembrance_n of_o christ_n the_o hope_n of_o glory_n within_o they_o he_o be_v then_o come_v to_o guide_v their_o mind_n and_o heart_n into_o all_o truth_n so_o when_o his_o disciple_n be_v endue_v with_o power_n from_o on_o high_a then_o in_o authority_n they_o go_v into_o all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o into_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n he_o do_v not_o say_v with_o outward_a water_n but_o into_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v a_o strong_a tower_n and_o the_o righteous_a flee_v

that_o they_o must_v so_o much_o deny_v themselves_o that_o they_o can_v get_v in_o at_o it_o with_o their_o body_n of_o sin_n and_o this_o be_v such_o a_o cross_n to_o their_o own_o will_n that_o
