for_o they_o be_v as_o much_o promise_v to_o believer_n as_o to_o preacher_n now_o miracle_n be_v wrought_v by_o many_o that_o do_v believe_v and_o so_o be_v that_o promise_n already_o fulfil_v for_o it_o be_v not_o make_v to_o every_o believer_n for_o paul_n say_v be_v all_o worker_n of_o miracle_n and_o so_o miracle_n in_o truth_n be_v for_o the_o silence_v of_o the_o world_n and_o make_v the_o

thou_o will_v have_v christ_n but_o with_o a_o desire_n to_o see_v some_o miracle_n from_o he_o thou_o fall_v short_a of_o christ_n and_o christ_n work_v none_o at_o all_o before_o thou_o as_o

must_v decrease_v that_o be_v continuance_n they_o have_v not_o the_o like_a continuance_n to_o say_v my_o person_n my_o office_n my_o ministry_n must_v all_o stoop_v to_o christ_n who_o must_v increase_v johns_n doctrine_n cease_v in_o christ_n so_o his_o baptism_n for_o christ_n be_v come_v dead_a and_o rise_v john_n be_v not_o any_o long_o by_o his_o ministry_n to_o prepare_v his_o way_n and_o true_o if_o you_o take_v away_o the_o doctrine_n upon_o which_o any_o thing_n be_v administer_v you_o likewise_o take_v away_o the_o administration_n but_o now_o christ_n baptism_n endure_v be_v establish_v upon_o a_o more_o strong_a foundation_n christ_n humble_v and_o exalt_v dead_a and_o rise_v therefore_o be_v the_o believer_n who_o be_v fill_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n baptize_v with_o the_o baptism_n of_o water_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n the_o continuation_n whereof_o i_o shall_v prove_v afterward_o thus_o be_v it_o manifest_a that_o the_o baptism_n of_o water_n be_v as_o well_o command_v by_o christ_n as_o by_o john_n and_o be_v not_o only_a johns_n baptism_n as_o many_o suppose_v and_o whereas_o john_n say_v i_o baptize_v you_o with_o water_n but_o christ_n shall_v baptize_v you_o with_o the_o spirit_n and_o fire_n it_o prove_v not_o that_o christ_n do_v not_o command_v his_o disciple_n to_o continue_v baptise_v with_o water_n but_o this_o it_o prove_v that_o christ_n baptism_n be_v great_a than_o johns_n johns_n be_v only_a water_n but_o christ_n water_n and_o the_o spirit_n too_o i_o say_v this_o expression_n of_o johns_n prove_v no_o more_o that_o christ_n have_v not_o a_o baptism_n of_o water_n than_o paul_n word_n say_v that_o paul_n plant_v and_o apollo_n water_v but_o it_o be_v god_n that_o give_v the_o blessing_n prove_v that_o god_n plant_v not_o nor_o water_n which_o will_v be_v strange_a to_o affirm_v to_o conclude_v this_o likewise_o i_o shall_v only_o desire_v you_o to_o mind_v this_o if_o the_o baptism_n of_o water_n be_v only_a johns_n and_o to_o endure_v only_o till_o soul_n be_v baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o those_o that_o say_v water_n baptism_n be_v only_a john_n affirm_v then_o demand_v i_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o be_v baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v use_v by_o peter_n as_o a_o undeniable_a argument_n that_o cornelius_n shall_v be_v baptize_v with_o water_n sure_o this_o be_v a_o undoubted_a truth_n that_o that_o dispensation_n which_o be_v the_o only_a ground_n of_o put_v a_o end_n to_o baptism_n of_o water_n as_o they_o say_v the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v can_v be_v a_o true_a ground_n to_o continue_v it_o but_o peter_n use_v it_o as_o a_o argument_n for_o its_o continuance_n from_o whence_o without_o wrest_v the_o scripture_n pervert_v the_o truth_n dazzle_v man_n eye_n with_o the_o bare_a notion_n of_o mystery_n spirit_n life_n or_o substance_n we_o may_v safe_o conclude_v that_o baptism_n of_o water_n be_v christ_n baptism_n as_o well_o as_o johns_n and_o be_v preach_v and_o practise_v by_o the_o disciple_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n but_o lest_o we_o shall_v be_v cheat_v or_o beguile_v through_o the_o false_a representation_n of_o the_o carnality_n of_o this_o baptism_n i_o will_v in_o the_o next_o particular_a discover_v its_o great_a glory_n 6._o the_o way_n be_v now_o something_o more_o clear_a i_o desire_v to_o proceed_v baptism_n the_o true_a nature_n use_n and_o end_n of_o water_n baptism_n and_o show_v you_o the_o true_a nature_n use_n and_o end_n of_o this_o ordinance_n or_o baptism_n wherein_o the_o true_a glory_n of_o it_o will_v appear_v notwithstanding_o the_o endeavour_n of_o man_n or_o devil_n to_o stain_v it_o it_o
