Matthew Poole and continuators on John 1:34

34 And I saw , and bare record , that this is the Son of God.

But when I saw that, I could not butbelieve.

And also bear an open Testimony to the World, That this man was not meer man, but the eternal Son of that God, who sent me to Baptize with Water; reserving still to himself the Divine Power of blessing that Holy Sacrament, and conferring the Holy Ghost in regenerating habits, working like fire, in purging away the dross of Souls, and like Water washing away the filth of Sin, Matth. 3.11. Ioh. 3.5.
