2. He is baptized with the Holy Ghost and with fire: the baptism 1by fire, is only proper to Gods Elect: the Holy Ghost at some times falls upon him, & sets him all on a fire, on a fire I say, both of sudden and violent indignation at sin, as it is sin; as also the fire of holy affections, with which from God he frequently and on a sudden is inflamed, while he stands before the Lord. For besides the affection which a godly man bringeth with him to Gods worship, he doth feel his heart oftentimes on a sudden surprised with strange impressions, sometimes of sorrow, sometimes ⟨p. 173⟩of fear and awful dread of God; sometimes of fervent desires after God: sometimes of strong resolutions of holy duties to be done by him, and the like, Matthew 3. 11.
