be_v a_o stand_v and_o perpetual_a ordinance_n in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n 2_o that_o as_o many_o as_o be_v call_v minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v also_o commissionated_a too_o baptise_v also_o go_v teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o 3_o that_o water_n baptism_n or_o the_o external_n ordinance_n be_v that_o enjoin_v or_o command_v in_o the_o word_n and_o not_o the_o baptism_n with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n for_o it_o be_v enjoin_v to_o mere_a man_n who_o can_v do_v no_o more_o than_o john_n can_v do_v who_o profess_v he_o baptize_v with_o water_n and_o yet_o we_o believe_v many_o who_o be_v baptize_v by_o john_n receive_v also_o the_o holy_a ghost_n otherwise_o a_o very_a empty_a and_o insignificant_a ordinance_n and_o unprofitable_a to_o all_o if_o nothing_o else_o be_v reap_v thereby_o but_o sprinkle_v or_o wash_v with_o water_n and_o yet_o the_o outward_a mean_a ordinance_n and_o administration_n be_v from_o john_n and_o the_o fruit_n efficacy_n and_o blessing_n be_v from_o jesus_n christ_n and_o it_o be_v bold_a impudence_n and_o arrogant_a presumption_n for_o any_o to_o pretend_v to_o baptise_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n which_o be_v christ_n peculiar_a work_n and_o prerogative_n and_o keith_n answer_v here_o unto_o in_o his_o book_n be_v void_a of_o all_o satisfaction_n to_o any_o intelligent_a person_n for_o he_o affirm_v though_o no_o man_n baptise_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n efficient_o yet_o they_o may_v instrumental_o we_o who_o use_v the_o outward_a mean_a instrument_n and_o ordinance_n may_v through_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n and_o efficacious_a presence_n of_o christ_n spirit_n and_o undoubted_o be_v make_v instrument_n of_o the_o inward_a grace_n life_n and_o advantage_n of_o that_o ordinance_n but_o how_o quaker_n can_v be_v instrument_n of_o baptise_v spiritual_o who_o be_v opposite_a to_o and_o ridicule_n the_o outward_a ordinance_n which_o be_v the_o only_a proper_a mean_n and_o instrument_n of_o god_n own_o appointment_n i_o can_v resolve_v unless_o they_o

will_v take_v god_n place_n by_o work_v without_o mean_n and_o contrary_a to_o mean_n or_o they_o imagine_v to_o work_v effect_n by_o unsuitable_a cause_n and_o attain_v a_o end_n by_o improper_a mean_n as_o if_o a_o man_n intend_v to_o merchandise_n by_o labour_v in_o the_o ground_n intend_v for_o europe_n from_o america_n and_o yet_o steer_v to_o the_o south_n or_o by_o plant_v tobacco_n to_o imagine_v to_o reap_v corn_n for_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o such_o as_o in_o faith_n administer_v the_o outward_a ordinance_n of_o baptism_n and_o that_o pure_o according_a to_o the_o divine_a institution_n pray_v and_o depend_v on_o god_n for_o his_o blessing_n and_o christ_n for_o his_o virtue_n and_o presence_n be_v in_o the_o most_o probable_a way_n of_o be_v instrument_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o baptism_n so_o that_o this_o baptism_n be_v a_o stand_n and_o perpetual_a ordinance_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n which_o be_v clear_o infer_v from_o the_o promise_v annex_v which_o be_v perpetual_a and_o lo_o i_o be_o with_o you_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n as_o durable_a as_o teach_v itself_o which_o the_o after_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o servant_n of_o christ_n to_o this_o day_n confirm_v &_o shall_v be_v continue_v until_o christ_n second_o come_v notwithstanding_o of_o all_o gainsayer_n he_o further_o will_v insinuate_v that_o we_o learned_a and_o receive_v sprinkle_v of_o child_n from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o make_v appear_v they_o go_v hand_n in_o hand_n with_o rome_n in_o more_o thing_n than_o we_o do_v

as_o perverse_a quaker_n do_v imagine_v for_o water_n in_o baptism_n represent_v the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o why_o not_o sprinkle_v the_o sprinkle_v of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n
