be_v plain_a that_o the_o word_n baptism_n and_o the_o word_n wash_v though_o not_o the_o same_o word_n have_v yet_o the_o selfsame_a meaning_n 2._o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o word_n baptism_n be_v often_o take_v in_o a_o figurative_a and_o allegorical_a sense_n to_o mean_v the_o inward_a baptism_n the_o wash_v or_o cleanse_v of_o the_o heart_n but_o so_o be_v the_o word_n wash_v also_o as_o often_o as_o jer._n four_o 14._o etc._n etc._n and_o there_o be_v scarce_o a_o word_n in_o the_o world_n but_o be_v capable_a of_o many_o figurative_a and_o allegorical_a meaning_n thus_o circumcision_n be_v very_o often_o use_v for_o the_o inward_a circumcision_n or_o purity_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o fire_n be_v take_v to_o express_v love_n and_o likewise_o anger_n and_o many_o other_o thing_n but_o it_o be_v a_o receive_a rule_n for_o the_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n and_o indeed_o of_o all_o other_o write_n and_o word_n that_o the_o plain_a literal_a mean_v be_v always_o to_o be_v take_v where_o there_o be_v no_o manifest_a contradiction_n or_o absurdity_n in_o it_o as_o when_o a_o man_n be_v say_v to_o have_v a_o fire_n burn_v in_o his_o breast_n it_o can_v be_v mean_v of_o the_o literal_a fire_n so_o when_o we_o be_v command_v to_o wash_v or_o circumcise_v our_o heart_n and_o the_o like_a but_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n if_o any_o man_n will_v take_v upon_o he_o to_o understand_v word_n in_o a_o figurative_a sense_n at_o his_o own_o will_n and_o pleasure_n without_o a_o apparent_a necessity_n from_o the_o scope_n and_o cohenrence_n he_o set_v up_o to_o banter_n and_o leave_v no_o certainty_n in_o any_o word_n or_o expression_n in_o the_o world_n therefore_o i_o will_v conclude_v this_o point_n of_o the_o natural_a signification_n and_o etymology_n of_o the_o word_n baptise_v and_o unless_o the_o quaker_n can_v show_v a_o apparent_a contradiction_n or_o absurdity_n to_o take_v it_o in_o the_o literal_a signification_n in_o this_o text_n matth._n xxviii_o 19_o then_o it_o must_v be_v mean_v of_o the_o outward_a wash_v or_o baptism_n because_o that_o be_v the_o only_a true_a and_o proper_a and_o literal_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n and_o it_o will_v be_v further_o demonstrate_v in_o the_o next_o section_n that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o contradiction_n or_o absurdity_n to_o take_v it_o in_o a_o literal_a sense_n because_o the_o apostle_n and_o other_o thereunto_o commissionated_a by_o they_o do_v practise_v it_o in_o the_o literal_a sense_n sect_n ii_o i._o that_o christ_n do_v practise_v water-baptism_n ii_o

therefore_o these_o baptism_n be_v speak_v of_o both_o together_o there_o can_v be_v no_o reason_n to_o interpret_v the_o one_o to_o be_v with_o water_n and_o the_o other_o not_o it_o be_v say_v john_n four_o 1._o the_o pharisee_n hear_v that_o jesus_n make_v and_o baptize_v more_o disciple_n then_o john_n how_o can_v the_o pharisees_n hear_v of_o it_o if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o outward_a and_o

than_o that_o which_o be_v mention_v in_o the_o four_o chapter_n and_o then_o the_o consequence_n will_v only_o be_v this_o that_o at_o some_o time_n christ_n do_v baptise_v himself_o and_o at_o other_o time_n he_o leave_v it_o to_o his_o disciple_n though_o as_o to_o our_o argument_n it_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n whether_o he_o do_v it_o himself_o or_o command_v his_o disciple_n to_o do_v it_o for_o either_o way_n it_o be_v his_o baptism_n his_o only_a his_o disciple_n do_v but_o administer_v what_o he_o command_v ii_o as_o christ_n himself_o do_v baptise_v with_o water_n and_o his_o

signification_n of_o the_o word_n baptise_v be_v of_o itself_o sufficient_a to_o prove_v that_o by_o baptism_n in_o this_o text_n the_o outward_a baptism_n with_o water_n be_v mean_v especial_o till_o the_o quaker_n can_v show_v any_o contradiction_n or_o absurdity_n in_o have_v the_o word_n take_v in_o the_o proper_a and_o literal_a sense_n in_o this_o and_o the_o other_o text_n which_o speak_v of_o it_o and_o this_o will_v be_v very_o hard_a to_o do_v since_o as_o it_o be_v just_a now_o prove_v that_o christ_n do_v baptise_v with_o water_n as_o well_o as_o john_n and_o what_o absurdity_n or_o contradiction_n can_v be_v allege_v that_o his_o apostle_n shall_v administer_v the_o same_o sort_n of_o baptism_n after_o his_o death_n as_o he_o have_v practise_v and_o command_v during_o his_o

precarious_a but_o as_o i_o promise_v i_o will_v demonstrate_v yet_o more_o full_o and_o plain_o that_o the_o apostle_n do_v practise_v the_o outward_a i._n e._n water-baptism_n after_o christ_n

but_o the_o apostle_n do_v practice_v water-baptism_n therefore_o water-baptism_n be_v that_o baptism_n which_o christ_n command_v matth._n xxviii_o 19_o iii_o and_o as_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o

the_o first_o institution_n to_o the_o age_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n the_o public_a nature_n of_o this_o water-baptism_n as_o now_o practise_v be_v a_o outward_a matter_n of_o fact_n of_o
