CHAPTER XV.

SECT. I.--_Two baptisms, that of John and of Christ--That of John was by

water--and a Jewish ordinance--John the prophet left under the law._

SECT. II.--_Baptism of Christ was by the Spirit--This the baptism of the

Gospel--Authorities on which this distinction between the two is

founded._

SECT. III.--_Quakers conceive it was not the baptism of John which Jesus

included in the Great Commission, when he ordered his disciples to go

into all nations, and to teach them, baptizing in the name of the

father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost--This shown from

expressions taken from St. Peter and St. Paul--and from the object and

nature of this baptism._

SECT. IV.--_But that it was the baptism of Christ--This shown from a

critical examination of the words in the commission itself--And from the

commission, as explained by St. Mark, St. Luke, and St. Paul._

SECT. V.--_Practice of Jesus and the Apostles a confirmation of this

opinion._
