Acts1:5
5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the holy Ghost , not many days hence.
Matth. 3.11. Water being of a purifying Nature, plentiful, and easie to come by.
His Gifts and Graces, which were (as water on Baptized persons) largely bestowed upon them on the day of Pentecost. 1. That the Apostles and all others might be assured of the Doctrine of the Gospel. 2. That they might be enabled to fulfil their Ministry, and obey our Saviours commands left with them. It
was but ten days after his Ascension; but our Saviour would not prefix a certain day, that they might watch every day.
