John1:32
32 And John bare record saying, I saw the spirit descending from heaven , like a dove , and it abode upon him .
Saith Iohn, According to the Revelation which I had, when I received my extraordinary Commission to Baptize, so it fell out to me, I did see, when he was baptized, the Heaven opening, and a representation of the Spirit of God, (for no man can see God and live) descending.
The form of the Representation, was like that of a Dove.
And it was not a meer transient sight, but it did for some time abide upon that Person, in that sensible Representation; by that Token I knew that he was the Son of God.
