his_o ministry_n unless_o we_o shall_v suppose_v that_o confession_n of_o sin_n repentance_n and_o own_v the_o mesiah_n as_o well_o as_o baptism_n be_v to_o decrease_v than_o which_o there_o can_v be_v nothing_o more_o absurd_a to_o conclude_v we_o think_v and_o say_v further_o then_o with_o much_o more_o probability_n that_o not_o john_n ministry_n but_o the_o great_a fame_n and_o mastership_n of_o john_n be_v to_o decrease_v as_o to_o the_o have_v disciple_n call_v by_o his_o name_n the_o disciple_n of_o john_n and_o the_o like_a for_o after_o christ_n public_a entrance_n upon_o his_o ministry_n as_o john_n do_v point_n and_o direct_v man_n to_o christ_n as_o their_o chief_a leader_n so_o they_o be_v afterward_o teach_v by_o christ_n to_o call_v no_o man_n master_n but_o sole_o to_o own_v he_o and_o be_v call_v the_o disciple_n of_o jesus_n not_o of_o john_n and_o for_o this_o there_o be_v good_a reason_n to_o be_v give_v but_o for_o the_o other_o if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o reason_n than_o that_o it_o be_v uncertain_a it_o be_v sufficient_a but_o we_o further_o say_v to_o conclude_v john_n ministry_n be_v to_o decrease_v and_o be_v make_v null_a upon_o the_o appearance_n of_o christ_n as_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o be_v plain_o show_v from_o this_o text_n and_o as_o it_o be_v very_o unsafe_a to_o violate_v and_o reject_v a_o sacred_a duty_n upon_o so_o uncertain_a a_o ground_n as_o a_o private_a interpretation_n of_o a_o particular_a text_n that_o the_o interpretation_n be_v for_o i_o and_o a_o stranger_n and_o therefore_o deserve_o to_o be_v cast_v out_o and_o have_v no_o inheritance_n for_o the_o dispossess_v of_o john_n ministry_n which_o we_o dismiss_v with_o this_o argument_n arg._n 34_o those_o duty_n that_o have_v be_v ratify_v and_o confirm_v by_o many_o signal_n and_o weighty_a circumstance_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v violate_v or_o reject_v upon_o so_o slender_a a_o ground_n as_o the_o mere_a interpretation_n of_o a_o particular_a text._n but_o the_o baptism_n and_o ministry_n of_o john_n have_v be_v so_o ratify_v and_o confirm_v ergo_fw-la the_o baptism_n and_o ministry_n of_o john_n ought_v not_o after_o so_o slight_a and_o careless_a a_o manner_n to_o be_v reject_v and_o make_v void_a and_o as_o to_o the_o commission_n of_o christ_n mat._n 28._o we_o answer_v if_o any_o shall_v suppose_v that_o thereby_o the_o baptism_n and_o ministry_n of_o john_n be_v make_v void_a 1_o that_o it_o do_v not_o plain_o appear_v from_o thence_o but_o be_v at_o most_o but_o interpretative_o so_o therefore_o unsafe_a to_o rely_v upon_o in_o the_o ruin_n of_o a_o plain_a part_n or_o precept_n of_o the_o gospel_n 2_o that_o the_o commission_n aforesaid_a do_v not_o make_v void_a the_o baptism_n and_o ministry_n of_o john_n for_o these_o reason_n 1._o it_o be_v not_o congruous_a to_o suppose_v that_o christ_n shall_v institute_v and_o set_v up_o one_o part_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o enervate_a and_o make_v void_a another_o part_n of_o it_o which_o john_n baptism_n and_o ministry_n have_v be_v prove_v to_o be_v 2._o it_o do_v not_o infallible_o appear_v that_o the_o baptism_n give_v in_o the_o commission_n of_o christ_n be_v different_a from_o that_o of_o john_n as_o to_o matter_n form_n and_o subject_n which_o be_v the_o main_a part_n of_o baptism_n and_o if_o there_o be_v some_o small_a difference_n in_o point_n of_o circumstance_n it_o will_v not_o be_v sufficient_a to_o prepondrate_n and_o outweigh_v a_o plain_a and_o clear_a duty_n and_o there_o can_v no_o plain_a difference_n be_v make_v to_o appear_v betwixt_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n and_o that_o give_v in_o our_o saviour_n commission_n unless_o it_o be_v in_o the_o use_n of_o word_n viz._n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o this_o amount_n to_o these_o three_o thing_n 1._o the_o set_v forth_o the_o existency_n of_o the_o trinity_n that_o three_o such_o be_v 2._o the_o capacity_n and_o dignity_n of_o the_o trinity_n they_o be_v to_o baptise_v in_o their_o name_n which_o be_v a_o witness_n or_o testimony_n on_o the_o minister_n part_n and_o a_o subscription_n on_o the_o submitter_n part_n to_o the_o pre-eminence_n of_o this_o holy_a trinity_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o instruction_n of_o any_o other_o either_o as_o a_o three_o person_n to_o seclude_v any_o one_o of_o these_o or_o as_o a_o four_o to_o be_v equal_a with_o they_o in_o their_o unite_a dignity_n 3._o the_o work_n and_o operation_n they_o joint_o intend_v to_o be_v concern_v in_o and_o more_o than_o this_o be_v no_o subject_n of_o baptism_n bind_v to_o believe_v and_o acknowledge_v in_o or_o upon_o their_o baptism_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o be_v of_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n the_o dignity_n of_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n the_o work_n and_o operation_n of_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n in_o carry_v on_o the_o great_a design_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o if_o these_o word_n be_v not_o use_v by_o john_n in_o the_o act_n of_o baptise_v yet_o the_o thing_n be_v set_v forth_o in_o his_o ministry_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n while_o the_o minister_n and_o submitter_n be_v together_o and_o therefore_o we_o do_v affirm_v that_o john_n do_v in_o his_o baptism_n and_o ministry_n direct_v into_o the_o same_o faith_n as_o the_o apostle_n by_o their_o commission_n be_v to_o teach_v and_o baptise_v into_o viz._n the_o be_v dignity_n and_o operation_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o no_o man_n can_v be_v certain_a that_o our_o saviour_n do_v enjoin_v more_o in_o his_o great_a commission_n or_o that_o the_o apostle_n do_v make_v use_n of_o that_o very_a form_n of_o word_n in_o the_o act_n of_o baptise_v the_o conclusion_n than_o be_v that_o for_o any_o thing_n that_o yet_o appear_v the_o baptism_n contain_v in_o the_o commission_n be_v and_o be_v to_o be_v the_o same_o in_o all_o point_n with_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n and_o therefore_o from_o thence_o appear_v no_o certain_a ground_n of_o a_o abrogation_n indeed_o our_o saviour_n do_v do_v three_o thing_n in_o reference_n to_o john_n baptism_n by_o his_o great_a commission_n 1_o he_o confirm_v it_o by_o command_v his_o disciple_n to_o keep_v it_o up_o and_o carry_v it_o on_o 2_o he_o add_v perfection_n and_o clearness_n to_o it_o by_o his_o great_a authority_n his_o short_a and_o plain_a instruction_n about_o the_o design_n of_o it_o which_o be_v to_o bring_v his_o follower_n to_o subscribe_v to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n in_o th●ir_a submission_n to_o it_o 3_o he_o do_v further_o extend_v it_o by_o order_v of_o it_o into_o all_o the_o world_n which_o john_n do_v not_o do_v our_o result_n be_v that_o neither_o the_o word_n of_o john_n i_o must_v decrease_v nor_o the_o commission_n of_o our_o saviour_n to_o his_o disciple_n to_o baptise_v do_v fair_o make_v null_a the_o baptism_n and_o ministry_n of_o john_n from_o whence_o we_o offer_v this_o argument_n arg._n 35_o that_o which_o be_v fair_o and_o infallible_o prove_v once_o to_o be_v god_n ordinance_n and_o man_n duty_n ought_v not_o without_o a_o fair_a and_o infallible_a ground_n to_o be_v account_v null_a and_o void_a but_o the_o baptism_n and_o ministration_n of_o john_n be_v fair_o and_o infallible_o prove_v to_o be_v god_n ordinance_n and_o man_n duty_n ergo_fw-la it_o ought_v not_o without_o the_o like_a ground_n to_o be_v account_v null_a and_o void_a and_o if_o any_o shall_v still_o oppose_v what_o have_v be_v contend_v for_o i_o shall_v only_o state_n this_o question_n to_o be_v debate_v with_o they_o and_o end_v this_o first_o point_n by_o two_o short_a argument_n quest_n whether_o the_o baptism_n command_v by_o god_n administer_v by_o john_n submit_v to_o by_o jesus_n and_o after_o his_o death_n own_a and_o practise_v by_o his_o extraordinary_a minister_n be_v put_v a_o end_n to_o or_o make_v null_a arg._n 36_o if_o the_o baptism_n and_o ministry_n of_o john_n be_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n repute_v and_o own_a to_o be_v the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n after_o the_o ascension_n of_o our_o saviour_n then_o it_o be_v in_o force_n still_o but_o it_o be_v so_o ergo_fw-la act_n 18.25_o 26._o arg._n 37_o if_o baptism_n with_o water_n be_v not_o in_o force_n still_o as_o well_o as_o other_o part_n of_o john_n ministry_n than_o it_o be_v somewhere_o exempt_v but_o baptism_n with_o water_n be_v not_o where_o exempt_v ergo._n and_o now_o let_v we_o see_v if_o we_o can_v find_v a_o administrator_n in_o this_o enquiry_n after_o a_o minister_n we_o will_v propose_v three_o thing_n 1._o to_o state_n what_o a_o minister_n be_v in_o his_o make_n and_o constitution_n 2._o what_o do_v warrant_v he_o to_o act_n or_o perform_v the_o work_n and_o office_n of_o a_o minister_n
