21._o waterbaptism_n be_v john_n baptism_n paul_n be_v not_o send_v to_o baptise_v we_o have_v the_o substance_n we_o need_v not_o the_o shadow_n we_o be_v baptize_v with_o the_o spirit_n we_o need_v

sacrament_n not_o bullinger_n in_o his_o house-book_n say_v of_o 1_o cor._n 1.17_o it_o be_v not_o slight_o to_o be_v understand_v as_o if_o paul_n be_v not_o send_v to_o baptize_v at_o all_o but_o that_o teach_v shall_v go_v before_o baptism_n for_o the_o lord_n command_v both_o teach_v and_o administer_a sacrament_n paul_n to_o baptise_v but_o to_o preach_v paul_n do_v baptize_v several_a either_o he_o do_v it_o by_o commission_n or_o presumption_n sure_o not_o by_o the_o latter_a therefore_o the_o former_a his_o meaning_n be_v that_o baptism_n be_v not_o his_o first_o and_o

the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v cornelius_n and_o his_o house_n submit_v to_o waterbaptism_n after_o baptise_a eminent_o with_o the_o spirit_n then_o that_o can_v be_v no_o argument_n we_o be_v
