and there is no necessity for it for his Baptism is the Substance of all other and throughly purges and refines and makes pure and I am but a Fore-runner of Him Well But He comes to thee to be Baptized of thee Yes but Iohn forbad Him saying I have need to be Baptized of Thee and comest thou to me Mark Here was need for Iohn I have need said Iohn well Jesus denies it not but there was so nevertheless Suffer it to be so NOW mark Now Why Now Because Now is thy time for thou wast sent before me for this end might Christ have said and this Dispensation is of God and thus or therefore it becometh us to fulfil all Righteousness Why then Iohn suffered Him But some may Object and say If it was Righteousness to be Baptized into Water then and that Christ was ought not we to follow Christ in all Righteousness I Answer In all everlasting Righteousness he ought to be followed not in all the Outward or Ministerial part of Righteousness for there is the Righteousness of God revealed within from Faith to Faith and the Righteousness of the Law without the Law was Righteous Holy Just and Good and Christ fulfilled the Righteousness of the Law and had he not fulfilled the Law in every tittle He could not have said It 's finished but He fulfilled the Law And he also fulfilled Iohn's Dispensation or He obeyed or did all the Law commanded and he obeyed and did also all that was commanded by the Dispensation of Iohn and when all the Righteousness requir'd was fulfilled it was reason that he only should have place that had fulfilled it So down to the Circumcision he went and to the Passover and to all the Law called for for he Humbled himself and became obedient as a Servant and serv'd it in it's time and place and fulfilled its Will and Requirements and not only so but bore all the Curse due to us that had broken it and been disobedient unto it and set us free from it was the end of the Law for Righteousness to us that believe So that we are not under the Law but under Grace or the Gift of God that brings Salvation to us who have not the Shadowy Works of the Law but are Believers in and Obeyers of him who is exalted both above the Law and the Prophets So also down into the Water he goes and fulfilled Iohn's Dispensation or that Righteousness required by it which when it was fulfilled he only was worthy to have place that had fulfilled it and having fulfilled it he went up straight-way out of the Water mark he did not there abide or stay but straight-way went out of the Outward thing and then came the Word of Power and the Heavens were opened and the Holy Ghost descended like a Dove and lighted on him then came the Voice from Heaven saying This is my Beloved Son in whom I am well pleased Now is he Descended that is also Ascended and is now Established alone This is my Beloved Son in whom I am well pleased Hear ye him He that hath Ears to hear let him hear what the Spirit saith Hear Him of whom Moses and all the Prophets and Iohn who was more than a Prophet spake for now he is come that is mightier than all and all Power is given unto him not unto him and Iohn nor unto him and Moses No But unto Him Him only hath God exalted to be both King and Priest unto Israel and He alone is established a Priest for ever of an Unchangeable Priesthood not Changeable nor Finite but for ever of an Unchangeable Priestood mark ye but not after the Order of Aaron nor after the Order of Iohn but after the Order of Melchizedec who met Abraham and blessed him him that overcame and blessed him and will give to him that overcomes to sit with him in his Throne as he hath overcome and is set down in his Father's Throne Not after the Order of a Carnal Commandment but after the Power of an Endless Life This is the Sun that cloathes the Woman who hath the Moon under her Feet therefore all changeable Dippings with Water and the least in his Kingdom is greater than Iohn tho' he was more than a Prophet Also in Mark 1.8 I indeed have baptized you with Water but He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost Also Luke 3.16 I indeed baptize with Water but one mightier than I cometh the Latchet of whose Shoe I am not worthy to unloose He shall mind baptize you with the Holy Ghost and Fire But he ever takes Water-Baptism to himself and never ascribes it to Christ Jesus but speaks of a greater Work to be done by him a Purging Purifying Refining Cleansing Work and Iohn's was but a Type of what was a coming and therefore ran before and hasted to give place to him that came after who alone is himself established in all things to have the Preheminence Now mark this word Fore-runner or one sent to run before one that runs makes haste away that he may finish his Course before his time be out Now it 's plainly said that as Iohn fulfilled his Course he said Whom think ye that I am I am not he Mind ye Iohn was not He not He that was to be established to abide for ever a Priest for ever of an Unchangeable Priesthood but was sent before him Therefore when the Apostle here comes in the 13th Chapter of the Acts and Verse 23 24 25. he speaks on this wise as he was preaching Christ Jesus not Iohn he was not I say preaching Iohn nor Iohn's Baptism but Christ the Seed of David Of this Man's Seed saith he hath God according to his Promise raised unto Israel a Sauiour Jesus When John had first preached before his Coming the Baptism of Repentance to all the People of Israel Mind ye all ye Baptizers in Water when Christ was raised unto Israel when Iohn had first preached before his Coming Mark Iohn had a Time we grant and own with all our Hearts but was it not before HIS Coming here spoken of But when his Course was fulfilled when Iohn had first preached the Baptism of Repentance first mind ye then God raised up to Israel a Saviour Oh! but Iohn could not save But Him whom God hath raised saveth to the uttermost them that come to God by him Him whom God hath raised And so Iohn honestly disclaims all the Honour due to Jesus Christ and as one afraid left the People should ascribe any of it to him said Whom think ye that I am As he fulfilled his Course mark that Iohn's Course was fulfilled I am not he but behold there cometh one after me whose Shoes of his Feet I am not worthy to loose Him Behold he is the Lamb of God that takes away the Sins of the World but I am not he And so in Verse 47. the Apostle comes to declare in much Plainness how that Christ is set and
