Ostendit Joannem non scire per baptismum Christi, id est mundum esse redemptum, nam sciebat bat eum Filium Dei esse, et natum in carne. Aug. dicit Joannem ignorasse hoc tantum utrum sibi retineat vim baptizandi, an alicui suorum tribuat. Et manentem. AUG. Spiritualiter dicitur spiritum manere in Christo, a quo nunquam per peccatum recessit, in quo semper mirabiliter vixit et mirabiliter operatus est; in sanctos venit, et per peccata recedit. Manet tamen semper in eis ad aliquid, ut Christus eis promisit, scilicet ut bonis semper insistant. Ad aliquid non manet, scilicet ut ex eo prophetent, vel miracula faciant, et ideo hoc quod dicit est primum signum agnoscendi Christum. Qui baptizat. Baptizat Christus in spiritu, non solum remittendo peccata in aqua, sed et post purgando, et amorem accendendo, et donis implendo. Hic est Filius Dei. Hic testatur Filium Dei quem superius virum vocabat: ut ab eo habeatur testimonium utriusque naturæ.

Manet tamen always in to_them to aliquid, as Christus to_them promisit, scilicet as bonis always insistant. Ad aliquid not/no manet, scilicet as from eo prophetent, or miracula faciant, and ideo this that dicit it_is primum signum agnoscendi Christum. Who baptizat. Baptizat Christus in spiritu, not/no solum remittendo sins in water, but and after purgando, and amorem accendendo, and donis implendo. Hic it_is Son of_God.
