A88811	A plea for the vse of gospell ordinances: against the practice and opinions of certain men of these times. Unto which is added by way of an illustrious instance; a vindication of the ordinance of baptisme: against Mr. Dels booke, entituled The doctrine of baptismes. Wherein it's proved that the ordinance of baptism is of gospel institution, and by divine appointment, to continue of use in the Church, to the end of the world. / By Hen: Laurence Esq;.	Lawrence, Henry, 1600-1664.	1652 (1652)	Wing L668; Thomason E654_2; ESTC R205905	51,207	92

christ_n those_o of_o the_o reform_a religion_n on_o the_o other_o side_n be_v general_o of_o opinion_n that_o the_o ministry_n of_o john_n be_v the_o the_o same_o that_o be_v after_o delegated_a to_o

of_o christ_n be_v to_o be_v propagate_v into_o all_o the_o world_n and_o all_o nation_n to_o be_v baptise_a with_o it_o this_o controversy_n though_o in_o the_o term_n of_o it_o it_o remain_v much_o

in_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n that_o belong_v only_o to_o john_n ministry_n the_o last_o term_n of_o which_o be_v the_o ascension_n of_o christ_n but_o that_o christ_n baptism_n and_o the_o rule_n and_o institution_n of_o it_o matth._n 28.29_o go_v teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o etc._n etc._n be_v not_o to_o plung_v and_o dip_v they_o in_o cold_a water_n as_o john_n do_v his_o

be_v of_o the_o spirit_n and_o not_o of_o the_o letter_n you_o shall_v baptise_v they_o or_o dip_v they_o or_o interest_n they_o into_o the_o name_n of_o god_n who_o be_v the_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n or_o sprinkle_v his_o name_n upon_o they_o that_o they_o may_v be_v holy_a just_a true_a merciful_a righteous_a good_a etc._n etc._n the_o drift_n of_o all_o be_v as_o they_o affirm_v

most_o of_o their_o best_a weapon_n out_o of_o the_o popish_a quiver_n in_o the_o dispute_v between_o we_o and_o they_o of_o the_o difference_n of_o john_n baptism_n from_o that_o of_o christ_n though_o they_o manage_v they_o to_o a_o quite_o other_o purpose_n than_o they_o mean_v they_o for_o we_o and_o they_o differ_v about_o the_o efficacy_n of_o baptism_n by_o water_n they_o the_o

the_o forego_n faith_n and_o repentance_n in_o the_o party_n baptize_v in_o which_o respect_n they_o prefer_v it_o to_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n administer_v also_o by_o water_n but_o these_o will_v have_v we_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n remain_v to_o christian_n as_o baptism_n by_o water_n when_o therefore_o i_o say_v they_o have_v help_v themselves_o by_o these_o borrow_a argument_n to_o show_v that_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o of_o john_n be_v two_o thing_n and_o abuse_v the_o popish_a argument_n to_o their_o own_o end_n then_o with_o many_o a_o specious_a flourish_n they_o acquaint_v you_o with_o the_o excellency_n of_o spirit_n baptism_n above_o water_n baptism_n wherein_o as_o in_o a_o theme_n very_o easy_a they_o make_v a_o great_a flourish_n and_o show_v we_o forsooth_o how_o much_o the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v more_o than_o water_n which_o for_o honour_n sake_n no_o doubt_n ever_o and_o anon_o they_o call_v cold_a water_n and_o so_o at_o length_n conclude_v with_o that_o which_o all_o the_o premise_n drive_v at_o that_o all_o outward_a and_o carnal_a and_o earthly_a thing_n be_v put_v to_o a_o end_n in_o which_o number_n all_o outward_a administration_n be_v contain_v by_o the_o inward_a spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a thing_n of_o a_o better_a and_o second_o testament_n in_o which_o how_o little_o sincere_o and_o faithful_o they_o deal_v with_o holy_a ordinance_n and_o the_o great_a master_n and_o institutor_n of_o they_o jesus_n christ_n by_o impose_v their_o apocryphal_a novelty_n upon_o the_o people_n under_o the_o specious_a title_n of_o a_o more_o raise_v and_o spiritual_a administration_n as_o i_o have_v in_o part_n show_v already_o more_o general_o in_o the_o precede_a

the_o difference_n of_o john_n and_o christ_n baptism_n be_v not_o very_o considerable_a for_o we_o by_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o all_o enjoy_v christ_n baptism_n it_o be_v of_o less_o moment_n to_o know_v what_o the_o difference_n of_o the_o two_o baptism_n be_v if_o there_o be_v any_o but_o as_o it_o come_v state_v to_o we_o by_o new_a hand_n and_o it_o be_v the_o particular_a credit_n of_o error_n that_o it_o be_v new_a there_o be_v nothing_o more_o considerable_a since_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o distinction_n of_o john_n and_o christ_n baptism_n they_o will_v utter_o take_v away_o the_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n itself_o and_o by_o a_o like_a reason_n all_o the_o rest_n which_o with_o so_o much_o comfort_n and_o edification_n the_o saint_n of_o god_n have_v know_v how_o to_o use_v as_o pledge_n of_o love_n and_o path_n and_o tract_n of_o communion_n with_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n without_o adore_v they_o or_o put_v they_o in_o god_n place_n though_o i_o confess_v according_a to_o what_o our_o corruption_n be_v that_o be_v not_o without_o danger_n but_o it_o be_v the_o part_n of_o good_a and_o wise_a man_n to_o reform_v error_n without_o overthrow_v

with_o you_o unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n to_o say_v here_o that_o christ_n may_v mean_v baptism_n by_o water_n of_o which_o ceremony_n there_o shall_v be_v a_o end_n within_o a_o certain_a time_n be_v to_o contradict_v the_o express_a word_n of_o the_o scripture_n that_o say_v he_o will_v be_v with_o they_o in_o these_o thing_n unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o they_o may_v with_o as_o good_a reason_n prefix_v a_o time_n to_o the_o end_n of_o faith_n and_o hope_n or_o any_o christian_a grace_n or_o ordinance_n according_a to_o their_o own_o fancy_n or_o pleasure_n or_o to_o preach_v also_o since_o preach_v and_o baptism_n be_v here_o put_v together_o but_o some_o will_v philosophate_n more_o subtle_o and_o tell_v you_o that_o by_o baptise_v here_o be_v not_o mean_v dip_v or_o plunge_v in_o water_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n etc._n etc._n but_o to_o baptise_v they_o or_o dip_v they_o or_o interest_n they_o into_o the_o name_n of_o god_n or_o sprinkle_v his_o name_n upon_o they_o that_o they_o may_v be_v holy_a just_a merciful_a righteous_a good_a but_o beside_o that_o this_o be_v bold_o affirm_v how_o ridiculous_a and_o absurd_a it_o be_v you_o will_v easy_o see_v bold_o because_o in_o a_o thing_n of_o this_o moment_n upon_o a_o ba●e_a affirmation_n without_o any_o proof_n they_o go_v against_o what_o have_v be_v the_o sense_n of_o all_o age_n and_o of_o all_o man_n if_o you_o will_v judge_v of_o their_o sense_n as_o we_o must_v needs_o do_v by_o their_o preach_n and_o by_o their_o practice_n but_o ridiculous_a i_o say_v also_o and_o absurd_a it_o be_v the_o word_n be_v we_o know_v go_v teach_v all_o nation_n or_o disciple_v they_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d and_o then_o baptise_v they_o that_o be_v first_o make_v they_o

according_a to_o this_o word_n of_o institution_n and_o command_n you_o have_v exact_o the_o apostolical_a practice_n and_o this_o i_o dare_v affirm_v there_o can_v be_v no_o better_a way_n of_o find_v out_o the_o nature_n of_o any_o ordinance_n then_o by_o compare_v the_o practice_n with_o the_o institution_n the_o practice_n you_o will_v find_v in_o several_a place_n particular_o act_v 8.34_o 35._o when_o philip_n have_v preach_v to_o the_o eunuch_n jesus_n and_o the_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n as_o it_o appear_v because_o the_o

his_o season_n why_o not_o here_o he_o shall_v baptize_v for_o he_o do_v baptize_v that_o be_v have_v this_o work_n or_o office_n to_o baptize_v with_o the_o spirit_n beside_o john_n 1.33_o you_o have_v it_o in_o the_o present_a tense_n affirm_v of_o christ_n this_o be_v he_o that_o baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n ob._n but_o than_o it_o be_v tell_v we_o out_o of_o act_n 1.4_o 5._o he_o command_v they_o they_o shall_v wait_v for_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n for_o john_n baptise_a with_o water_n but_o you_o shall_v be_v baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n not_o many_o day_n hence_o according_a to_o what_o john_n say_v of_o himself_o i_o baptise_v you_o with_o water_n but_o he_o shall_v baptise_v you_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n therefore_o john_n baptism_n be_v the_o baptism_n of_o water_n and_o christ_n the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o so_o not_o one_o but_o several_a baptism_n answ_n answer_v i_o do_v not_o speak_v still_o of_o the_o efficacy_n of_o baptism_n but_o of_o the_o ceremony_n or_o element_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o here_o be_v not_o a_o distinction_n of_o baptism_n but_o of_o baptizer_n i_o baptise_v you_o with_o water_n but_o he_o shall_v baptize_v you_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n therefore_o when_o john_n say_v i_o baptise_v you_o with_o water_n he_o do_v not_o handle_v that_o point_n what_o his_o baptism_n be_v but_o what_o he_o be_v himself_o to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o attribute_v to_o he_o that_o which_o be_v proper_a to_o christ_n for_o so_o you_o have_v it_o matth._n 3.11_o he_o that_o come_v after_o i_o be_v mighty_a than_o i_o who_o shoe_n i_o be_o not_o worthy_a to_o loose_v he_o shall_v baptise_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n so_o here_o you_o have_v what_o be_v the_o virtue_n of_o john_n or_o of_o the_o minister_n in_o baptise_v and_o what_o of_o christ_n this_o distinction_n be_v common_a to_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o run_v through_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o the_o ministry_n i_o have_v plant_v apollo_n water_v but_o god_n give_v the_o increase_n no_o minister_n ever_o give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n ever_o baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o fire_n that_o be_v christ_n part_n so_o as_o when_o ever_o baptism_n be_v administer_v the_o power_n and_o ministry_n be_v to_o be_v distinguish_v the_o power_n be_v christ_n the_o ministry_n john_n or_o any_o other_o man_n qualify_v for_o it_o the_o baptism_n of_o the_o minister_n be_v external_a confer_v but_o the_o sign_n that_o of_o christ_n internal_a confer_v the_o thing_n signify_v and_o because_o john_n who_o have_v so_o great_a a_o opinion_n among_o the_o apostle_n be_v to_o decrease_v and_o our_o lord_n to_o increase_v therefore_o christ_n instance_n in_o he_o in_o this_o place_n of_o the_o first_o of_o the_o act_n in_o opposition_n to_o his_o part_n in_o the_o ministry_n but_o last_o of_o all_o i_o ask_v any_o man_n whether_o man_n be_v not_o baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n before_o that_o time_n for_o first_o the_o apostle_n be_v baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n before_o that_o the_o saint_n and_o believer_n be_v sanctify_v and_o regenerate_v and_o make_v holy_a before_o then_o which_o be_v all_o these_o man_n will_v have_v to_o be_v that_o ordinance_n so_o as_o thing_n be_v not_o annex_v and_o affix_v to_o that_o famous_a send_v down_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o shape_n of_o fiery_a tongue_n but_o be_v before_o long_o during_o all_o the_o course_n of_o the_o administration_n of_o baptism_n though_o perhaps_o not_o with_o that_o efficacy_n and_o fullness_n and_o glory_n as_o after_o for_o so_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o yet_o give_v because_o jesus_n be_v not_o yet_o gloryfy_v so_o as_o clear_o this_o place_n of_o the_o act_n hold_v out_o the_o excellency_n and_o glory_n of_o christ_n administration_n in_o respect_n of_o all_o under-minister_n and_o particular_o in_o respect_n of_o john_n who_o be_v the_o first_o minister_n of_o baptism_n have_v a_o peculiar_a honour_n from_o it_o and_o the_o whole_a church_n here_o be_v spiritual_o baptize_v as_o in_o a_o type_n the_o apostle_n receive_v eminent_o the_o holy_a ghost_n not_o for_o themselves_o but_o for_o the_o church_n this_o extraordinary_a administration_n luke_n as_o calvin_n observe_v improper_o that_o be_v out_o of_o the_o ordinary_a signification_n call_v baptism_n for_o baptism_n proper_o signify_v immersion_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o

that_o the_o antithesis_fw-la may_v lie_v on_o both_o side_n faith_n the_o law_n of_o faith_n rom._n 3.27_o after_o this_o we_o have_v a_o new_a interpretation_n frame_v upon_o act_n 19_o where_o we_o be_v make_v believe_v that_o those_o twelve_o disciple_n find_v to_o be_v baptize_v only_o by_o john_n baptism_n be_v baptize_v again_o in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n and_o this_o baptism_n into_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n he_o say_v be_v not_o the_o repeat_n of_o any_o water_n but_o mere_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n this_o as_o the_o rest_n be_v bold_o affirm_v but_o where_o lie_v his_o

of_o baptism_n it_o be_v by_o water_n as_o well_o as_o in_o several_a other_o place_n in_o the_o act_n where_o any_o be_v say_v to_o be_v baptize_v he_o himself_o understand_v it_o by_o water_n why_o not_o as_o well_o here_o but_o true_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n with_o those_o that_o think_v that_o paul_n do_v not_o here_o command_v any_o to_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n which_o be_v already_o baptize_v with_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n but_o rather_o teach_v that_o those_o who_o have_v receive_v john_n baptism_n be_v right_o baptize_v into_o christ_n and_o therefore_o have_v no_o need_n of_o any_o new_a or_o other_o baptism_n it_o be_v very_o probable_a notwithstanding_o that_o from_o this_o place_n do_v either_o arise_v or_o be_v confirm_v in_o many_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o difference_n of_o these_o two_o baptism_n of_o john_n and_o christ_n though_o as_o it_o be_v now_o state_v to_o we_o by_o our_o nameless_a author_n he_o for_o any_o thing_n
