VVherein is above an hundred particulars by parralell places of Scripture, this truth is clearely confirmed; namely that the Scriptures manifest the Sonne, and Holy Ghost to be God equall with the Father, by ascribing to them such names, attributes, works, and worship, as are proper to God alone. / By Beniamin Austin, pastor of the Church of God at Castle-Ashbey in Northamptonshire.

5.24 And the Holy-Ghost enjoyneth it D●ut 18.15 Heb. 2.5 Heb. 12.25 threatning destruction to them that will not heare him and Christ telleth you that his sheepe have his eare-marke by which they are known They heare his voyce Joh. 10.4 5. we must heare the Voyce of Christs Ministers but it is only as they are his Embassadors and are not to be heard in their owne but in his Name There is therefore a great deale of difference between the hearing of Christ and the hearing a Disciple of Christ Jesus First the Lord Jesus is to be heard as the Law-giver Joh. 13.34 but they are to be heard as the Interpreters of the Law Secondly the Lord Jesus is to be heard of and for himself the Word we receive is his Word Col. 3.16 and he delivereth it in his own Name Verily I say unto you John 3.3 5 11. Joh. 5.24 25. Joh. 6.47 53. Joh. 8.51 Joh. 10.7 Joh. 12.24 He opposeth his own Authority against the false glosses of the false Teachers Mat. 5.22 32 34 39 44. If he did urge Scripture it was not that he did receive testimony from any of the Writers thereof Joh. 5.33 34. but first in regard of his Hearers weaknesse who not knowing him to be the Sonne of God preferred the writings of his servants the Prophets before his Word Joh. 5.39 secondly it was to teach us by his example what to doe thirdly it was not to confirme his words to us by Scripture but to confirme to us our faith in the Scriptures But the word that the Prophets and Apostles had was from him That which I have heard from the Lord of Hoasts the God of Israel have I shewed you saith Isaias Isai 21.10 and that which I received from the Lord Jesus delivered I unto you saith Paul 1 Cor. 11.23 they deliver the word not in their own names but in the Name of Christ whose Embassadors they are and in whose stead they are to be heard 2 Cor. 5.20 Thirdly the Holy-Ghost is to be heard Let him that hath an Eare heare what the Spirit saith unto the Churches Rev 1.7 11 17 29. Rev. 3.6 13 22. It was a sinne reproved in the Jews by Stephen that were uncircumcised not onely in heart but also in eare who did alwayes resist the Holy-Ghost Act. 7.51 His power they could not resist but his Doctrine they did whenas they would not hear it they would not receive it And it was confessed by the Jewes as a great transgression Nehem. 9 3O that they would not give care to the Spirit of God testifying aga●nst them by the Prophets We are therefore to hear the Father the Son the Holy-Ghost yea the hearing of one is the hearing of all the despising of one is the despising of all He that heareth the Sonne heareth the Father Joh. 5.38 Luk. 10.16 He that heareth the Holy-Ghost heareth likewise the Sonne Rev. 2.1 7. The words which in the beginning of the seven Epistles are ascribed to the Sonne of God are in the conclusion of them attributed to the Spirit of God Jesus Christ is described in all the Prefaces yet in the end of them as if the Holy-Ghost were the onely Author we are commanded to heare what the spirit saith to the Churches Because the hearing of the Spirit is the hearing of Christ who together with the Father is one with the Spirit who are Essentially one God The Spirit proceeding inseparably from God cannot be divided from the Father and the Sonne For though he be Personally distinguished yet is not Essentially divided from them 1 Cor. 2.11 He is in the Father and the Sonne as the Spirit of man is in man which is not essentially distinct from the man in whom it is CHAP. VII The Knowledge of the Father of the Sonne and of the Holy-Ghost is requisite to salvation THe Lord J●sus will be revealed from Heaven in flami●g fire rendring vengeance to all them that know not God 2 Thes 1.7 This Knowledge of God even as all the Honour we give to him we have from God He giveth us first ability to know him and we returne but that to him which we have received from him we give God his own 1 Chron. 29.12 He giveth us understanding that we may know him that is true 1 Joh. 5.20 we cannot know God but by that knowledge which is given us of God None knoweth who the Son is but the Father and who the Father is but the Sonne and he to whom the Sonne will reveale him Luke 10.22 And as it is the Worke of God which he doth worke in us rightly to know him So it is an honour which he requireth of us and our duty which we must doe to him rightly for to know him He that commeth to God must beleeve that God is and that he is the rewarder of them that seek him Heb. 11.6 For if we are without the knowledge of God we are Aliens to the Common-wealth of Israel Ephes 2.12 First we know God the Father It is eternall life to know him John 17.3 the want of this knowledge of him maketh Men fall into sinne Joh. 16.2 3. Secondly we must know God the Sonne It is eternall life to know him John 17.3 1 Joh. 5.20 the want of the knowledge of him causeth men to fall into sinne John 16.2 3. and to be stranger● to the Common-wealth of Israel Ephes 2.12 Paul desired to know nothing but Christ and him crucefied 1 Cor. 2.2 accounting all things else in comparison of this to be losse and dung Phil. 3.8 Thirdly we must know God the Holy-Ghost It is a marke of those that have eternall life to know him Joh. 14.17 Our Saviour maketh it a difference between the World and his Disciples the Unbeleevers and the faithfull They know him not but these truly know him and beleeve in him Endeavour therefore to informe thy soule with the true knowledge of God without this Knowledge in vain doe we know all other things The least glimpse of the knowledge of these 3 in one essence is better then all the brightest gleam●s of humane Philosophy or earthly skill Where the true knowledge of one Person in the God-head is the knowledge of the other If thou knowest the Sonne thou knowest the Father also Joh. 8.19 John 14.7 the seeing of the one is the seeing of the other also Joh 14.9 Joh. 12.45 He that denyeth the Sonne the same hath not the Father 1 Joh. 2.23 He that hath the Holy-Chost hath the Sonne also For when Christ would send the Holy-Ghost he faith I will not leave you comforthlesse I will come to you John 14.18 He came in the Holy-Ghost For as he Father and Sonne are one John 10.30 so the Sonne and Holy-Ghost are one yea all the three are one 1 Joh. 5.7 and mutually in each other The Father in the Sonne and the Sonne in the Father John 10.38 John 14.11 and the spirit in the Father ana the Sonne as the spirit of man is

to the Father to the Sonne and to the Holy-Ghost I shall instance in these following First the Names of God in the Old Testament are 1. Jehovah 2. Lord of Hosts 3. Jah 4. Ehejeh or I am 5. El 6. Elohim 7. Adonai 8. Shaddai Secondly in the New Testament in the Greek 9. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 10. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 God and Lord. Thirdly in both the Old Testament and the New 11. Father 12. Highest 13. Lord God 14. Lord God Almightie 15. Great God 16. Great King 17. The God of Israel CHAP. III. The Name Jehovah is ascribed to the Father to the Sonne and to the Holy-Ghost JEhovah is a Name of God that describeth unto us his essence It is derived of Havah esse to be First Because the Lord alone hath essence and being of himselfe Isa 44.6 Secondly He it is that alone giveth life and being to all creatures Act. 17.25 Thirdly He giveth being to his Word and Promises effecting what he speaketh and performing what he promiseth Isa 45.2 3. Ezek. 5.17 First This Name is proper to God alone Psal 83.19 Thou whose Name alone is Jehovah and Nehem. 9.6 Thou art Jehovah alone It is the incommunicable Name Wisd 19.21 because it is never simply given to any but to God onely It was called of the Grecians 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a Name that was not to be expressed either in regard of the Grecians which out of want of Letters could not write it or in respect of the Jewes which out of superstition would not speake it This Name because it could not be written in Greek hath the force of it opened by the Holy-Ghost Rev. 1.4 8. Rev. 4.8 Rev. 11.17 Rev. 16.15 styling the Lord He that is that was and that will be or is to come And that you may know he expresseth an Hebrew Name he varieth not the Cases according to the manner of the Greekes but speaking in the Genitive Case he putteth this Name in the Nominative Rev. 1.4 according to the Hebrew forme 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 c. Je the first syllable of the Name Jehovah is a note of the time to come Jeheveh He will be Ho a signe of the time present Hoveh He that is and Vah a Characteristicall marke of the time past Havah He was or hath beene This Name pointeth out the Eternitie of his Essence that he is God from everlasting to everlasting Psal 90.2 which is of himselfe and from himselfe a most absolute and perfect substance Secondly Although this Name Jehovah is a Name of Gods Essence and is alwayes used Singularly and never Plurally as Elohim and Adonai are which are Names of God in regard of his Personalitie or Subsistence and the Lord styleth himselfe one Jehovah Deut. 6.4 but never one Elohim yet the ancient Jewes before Christ did note the mysterie of the Trinitie in their expositions of this Name by twelve and by fortie and two Letters which they called Sem Hamphoras Father Sonne and Holy-Ghost was their exposition of this Name by twelve Letters in Hebrew And the Father is God the Sonne is God and the Holy-Ghost is God three in one and one in three is their exposition of that Name by fortie and two Letters it being written likewise with so many as R. Judas Nagid R. Hacadosh R. Moses Ben Mammon and others observe Adding moreover that this mysterie was to be kept secret untill the comming of the Messias who should more clearely reveale it R. Hacadosh in Galarazeia Yea they were so Catechized in the mysterie of the Trinitie that as P. Fagius observeth on Exod. 28. they collected this mysterie out of this Name which although it was called Tetragrammaton or the Name of foure Letters yet say they there were but three sorts of Letters in it י Jod signified the Father who was the beginning of all things ן Vau is a conjunction copulative and denoted the third Person ה He signified the Sonne of God And they affirme this Letter is doubled to demonstrate both Natures of the Messiah These and the like observations you may see in the learned Workes of the much admired and ever to be honoured Mornaeus de verit Christ Relig. P. Calat and others who have sufficiently proved that the ancienter Doctors of the Jewes beleeved this mysterie albeit their latter Rabbins in opposition to the Lord Jesus doe oppose it And surely the Jewes in Christs time were acquainted with this Truth in that they accuse Christ of Blasphemie when as he said he was the Sonne of God Joh. 10.33 First because he being but a man as they thought yet made himselfe God Joh. 10.33 Secondly because he made himselfe as they rightly concluded equall with God when as they said God was his Father Joh. 5.18 They not denying that there was a Sonne of God which was equall with the Father but denying him to be that Word and Sonne of God blaspheming him whom they accused of Blasphemie Mark 14.64 65. Joh. 19.7 And that the Holy-Ghost was knowne to them is evident Mat. 1.20 where the Angel telleth Joseph that Mary was with Child by the Holy-Ghost And John Baptist speaking of Christ saith He shall baptize you with the Holy-Ghost and with fire Mat. 3.10 In vaine had he spoken to them of the Holy-Ghost of whom they had not heard of before That place Act. 19.2 where the Disciples had not heard whether there were an Holy-Ghost it cannot be so understood as if they were ignorant of his Person but of the gifts of Tongues and Prophesying by him for first being Disciples they were baptized in the Name of the Father the Sonne and the Holy-Ghost secondly when the Holy-Ghost is used Personally he is pointed out with one if not with two Articles in the Originall whereas when the word is used metonymically for his Gifts and Graces you have usually no Article in the Greek prefixed as in this and divers other places Thirdly you have the same expression used by the Evangelist John Joh. 7.39 The Holy-Ghost was not He was in Person before he was as touching sanctifying Graces before but he was not yet poured forth on the Disciples as Joel prophesied Joel 2.28 in gifts of Tongues and miraculous operations Thirdly This incommunicable and essentiall Name of God is sometimes used Personally and is then ascribed either to tho Father or to the Sonne or to the Holy-Ghost for First the Father is Jehovah Gen. 19.24 The Lord rained fire and brimstone from the Lord where you have the Sonne executing Judgement from Jehovah his Father and Zach. 3.2 The Lord said to Satan The Lord rebuke thee where one that is Jehovah speaketh of another Jehovah namely Christ speaketh of his Father and Psal 2.2 The Kings of the earth stand up against the Lord and against his Anointed Secondly the Sonne is Jehovah as in the two afore-cited places Gen. 19.24 Zach. 3.2 where the Sonne is stiled Jehovah even as the Father is Isa 25.9 This is the Lord we

is immutably true in regard of his gifts and graces In the Father of Lights there is no variablenesse nor shadow of change Jam. 1.17 Where if you take the word Father either essentially or personally this Truth standeth firme That the Father is immutably true in regard of his gifts and graces Secondly the Sonne is immutably true in regard of his gifts and graces Rev. 3.7 Jesus Christ the same yesterday and to day and for ever Heb. 13.8 He is the true and faithfull witnesse Rev. 3.14 Thirdly the Holy-Ghost is immutably true He is the Spirit of Truth Joh. 14.17 Joh. 15.26 who will guide us into all truth Joh. 16.13 The word which the Holy-Ghost speaketh must needs be fulfilled Act. 1.16 The Father the Word and the Spirit therefore are one true God who is true in himselfe and immutably true in all his Promises to his Church and people CHAP. XIV The Father the Sonne and the Holy-Ghost are one living God LIfe is essentially proper to God Deut. 32.40 He onely hath immortalitie 1 Tim. 6.16 He hath his life and essence of himselfe and is therefore stiled him tha● liveth for ever Dan. 4.34 The Creatures have their being from him who is their Creator their preserver Act. 17.28 In him they live and move and have their being The Lord is the Saviour of all men 1 Tim. 4.10 preserving their corporall life and delivering their bodies from danger and also preserving the Spirituall life of his Saints to his heavenly Kingdome 2 Tim. 4.18 and delivereth not onely their bodies but also their soules from spirituall death and eternall destruction And surely the Father the Sonne and the Holy-Ghost have life First the Father hath life Joh. 5.26 he is the living God Mat. 16.16 Joh. 6.69 Secondly the Sonne hath life in himselfe Joh. 5.26 Life indeed was given to him as he was a Mediatour of his Church but in him is life Joh. 1.4 and that of himselfe as God and therefore Christ who is Jehovah so Isaiah calleth him sweareth as he liveth Isa 45.25 with Rom. 14.10.11 Job acknowledgeth that his Redeemer liveth Joh. 19.25 yea he is the living God for the faithfull are the Church of the living God 1 Tim. 3.15 but the Church is Christs Cant. 2.16 Cant. 6.3 Ephes 5.27 He is life Joh. 14.6 and our life Col. 3.4 Thirdly the Holy-Ghost hath life in himselfe he is the incorruptible Spirit Wisd 12.1 he is the living God for the faithfull who are said to be the temples of the Holy-Ghost 1 Cor. 6.19 are said to be Temples of the living God 2 Cor. 6.16 Because the Holy-Ghost who is the living God dwelleth in them as in his Temple The Spirit is life Rom. 8.10 First he is the life of the soule regenerating it Secondly he is the life of the body quickning it and raising it up Rom. 8.11 Thus the Father the Sonne and the Holy-Ghost is Jer. 10.10 the living God Hu Elohim Caiim which we cannot expresse in English there being one word singular and another plurall joyned with Elohim a word of the plurall number ipse Dii viventes Hu or He there is the unitie Elohim Caiim living Gods there is the pluralitie of Persons life being essentially proper to the Father to the Sonne and to the Holy-Ghost who though three persons yet are but one living God CHAP. XV. The Father the Sonne and the Holy-Ghost are glorious GLorie as also Life Wisedome Truth Goodnesse Holynesse c. are the essence of God These in creatures are accidents and qualities but in the Creatour in whom there are no accidents but whatsoever is in him is his essence these therefore are his essence Moses desireth to see Gods glory Exod. 33.18 the Lord answering telleth him Exod. 33.20 Thou canst not see my face for there shall no man see me and live intimating that his face or essence or glorie are all one and so it is in all other of his Attributes Glorie belongeth onely to God to whom we are to ascribe it as most due yea onely due Math. 6.13 1 Tim. 1.17 There is in God both a Personall and an essentiall glorie First there is in God a Personall glorie as First the Fathers glorie is to beget the Sonne Joh. 17.5 Secondly the Sonnes glorie is to be begotten of the Father Joh. 1.14 and to be equall with him Phil. 2.6 Thirdly the Holy-Ghosts glorie is to proceed from both and to be equall with both Secondly there is in God an essentiall glorie which is not appropriated to any Person of the Deitie but is common to all three Persons and thus glorie is taken two wayes First improperly for that worship and honour which the Church of God ascribe to him both by praying to him and praysing of him which is the same with our gloryfying of God and of this God speaketh Isai 42.7 I will not give my glorie to another but of this hereafter Secondly more properly for that excellent Nature that is in God who is glorious in himselfe and also glorious in his gifts and graces which he giveth to his Church this is essentially proper to the Father to the Sonne and to the Holy-Ghost First the Father hath glorie in himselfe and giveth glorie to his Church he prepareth a kingdome for the faithfull Mat. 25.34 and it is his good pleasure to give it them Luke 12.32 he is the Father of glorie Eph. 1.17 Secondly the Sonne hath glorie in himselfe Joh. 2.11 Mat. 19.28 Joh. 12.41 Jude verse 24. and he giveth glorie to the faithfull Joh. 17.22 Joh. 14.2 and he is the Lord of glorie 1 Cor. 2.8 Thirdly the Holy-Ghost hath glorie in himselfe who both prepareth glorie for the faithfull and also prepareth the faithfull for glorie and is the Spirit of glorie 1 Pet. 4.14 The Father the Sonne and the Holy-Ghost are one glorious Lord God who hath glorie essentially proper to him and doth give grace and glorie to the faithfull Psal 84.11 who is stiled First the God of glorie Act. 7.2 in regard of that glorie which he hath in himselfe and of himselfe Secondly the King of glorie Psal 24. in regard of that glorie he giveth to his Church CHAP. XVI The Father the Sonne and the Holy-Ghost are blessed BLessednesse is an essentiall propertie of God who hath blessednesse in himselfe and of himselfe being free from all evill of all sorts whatsoever and aboundeth with all kind of Good he perfectly knoweth and certainely enjoyeth his owne blessednesse he to and for himselfe is sufficient and needeth no helpe of any Psal 16.2 Job 22.3 Job 35.6 7. Rom. 11.35 Psal 50.7 8.9 10.11 12. God is debtor to none men and Angels owe all that they have unto him He is the blessed God 1 Tim. 1.16 2 Tim. 6.15 First the Father is blessed for evermore 2 Cor. 11.31 so the high Priest acknowledged him Marke 14.61 Secondly the Sonne is blessed for ever Rom. 9.5 the children of the Jewes so acknowledged him Mar. 11.9 10. yea saith the Psalmist

in man as the Apostle intim●teth 1 Cor. 2.11 and the Father and the Sonne are in the spirit Zack 7.12 The Lord of Hoasts in his spirit hath sent by the hand of his Prophets so it is word for word in the Originall which was the Father and the Sonne who are called by the same Prophet particularly the Lord of Hoasts The Father is so called Zach. 2.9 and the Son likewise Zac. 2.8 yea the Holy-Ghost is not onely 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 1 Cor. 2.11 the Spirit of God but 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 1 Cor. 2.12 That spirit which is of God and therefore of the same nature co-essentiall with him CHAP. VIII We must beleeve in the Father and in the Sonne and in the Holy-Ghost THe greatest honour we can doe to God is beleeve him Whereas contrarywise it is the greatest affront we can offer unto him not to beleeve him He that beleeveeh not God hath made him a lyar 1 Joh. 5.10 And what greater disgrace can be put upon any then to give him the lye How much more disgracefull is it not to believe the God of truth He enjoyneth us to beleeve in him Not for any Good he receiveth thereby Job 22.2 3. Job 35.6 7 Psal 16.2 but for our good which we shall enjoy by doing that which he requireth even by beleeving that which he promiseth Without it i● impossible to please God Heb. 11.6 or to have our soules saved Mar. 16.16 we must therefore beleeve in God this Father This faith thou professest in the Creed when thou sayest I beleeve in God the Father Our Saviour sheweth they that beleeve in him have everlasting life Joh. 5.24 Secondly the Sonne This faith we prosesse in the Creed when in the second Article we say and is Jesus Christ This faith in Christ God the Father commandeth Joh. 6.29 This is the worke of God that ye beleeve on him whom he hath sent God the Sonne requireth it of his Disciples John 14.1 Ye beleeve in G●d beleeve also in me He requireth it also of the blind man Dost thou beleeve in the Sonne of G●● Joh. 9.35 yea he requireth it of all John 3.15 16. John 12.36 promising to him that beleeveth in him out of 〈◊〉 ●elly shall flow Rivers of living water John 7.38 He Lastly commendeth the Church of Pergamus for not denying his faith Rev. 2.13 God the Holy-Ghost reproveth the want of it in the World John 16.9 John Baptist the fore-runner of Christ doth make it an infallible marke of those that have eternall life even as sure as if they did already injoy it Joh. 3.36 And the Lord Jesus telleth the Jews that if ye beleeve not that I am ye shall dye in your sinnes Joh. 8.24 And no marvell for the beleeving in Christ is the beleevi●g in God Ioh. 12.44 Act. 16.31 with 34. and the not beleeving in Christ is to make God a lyar 1 Ioh. 5.10 whereas by faith in him we are sanctified Act. 26.18 and justified Rom. 3.26 Thirdly the Holy-Ghost This faith we professe in the Creed in the eighth Article when as we say I beleeve in the Holy-Ghost The Apostle shewed that the Israelites entred not into Canaan because of unbeleefe Heb. 3.18 whom did they not believe was it not He whom they tempted proved and grieved Heb. 3.9 10. That this was the Holy Ghost the Apostle expresly affirmeth Heb. 3.7 Besides how can they call on him in whom they have not beleeved Rom. 10.14 Or how can we be B●ptized in the Name of him in whom we doe not believe Mat. 28.19 There being but one faith one baptisme one God Eph. 4.5 6. One faith and one baptisme in regard of the object that is to be beleeved on and to be baptized in though there be divers in regard of the subject who beleeveth and is baptized The Holy-Ghost therefore in whose Name we are baptized is to be beleeved in There is but one faith in God the Father Sonne and Holy-Ghost who are therefore one God For if the Sonne and the Holy-Ghost were not one with the Father but did differ in Essence and Nature they would be divers Gods and the faith in them likewise would be divers And surely in the Creed we professe our faith in one God and yet three Persons are named the Father the Sonne and the Holy-Ghost Where the unity of the God-head and the Trinity of Persons is intimated and imployed CHAP. IX We are to hope and trust in the Father in the Sonne and in the Holy-Ghost AS God alone is the object of our faith so is he likewise of our hope We are commanded to hope and trust in him 1 Tim. 6.17 we are commanded and blessed for it Prov. 16,20 Psal 84. last Psal 146.5 Jer. 17.7 whereas they are discommended and cursed who trust in man and depart from God Ier. 17.5 The Name of the Lord is a strong Tower the Righteous flye unto it and are safe Prov. 18.10 They are set aloft so the Originall will beare it out of the reach of danger It is the singular Phraise of Abraham that against hope he beleeved in hope Rom. 4.18 It was without the hope of nature yet in the hope of grace above the h● in man yet under the hope in God We must hope and trust in God First the Father Thus we are to place our hope in God that cannot lye Tit. 1.2 who promised salvation to us in Christ before the world began 2 Tim. 1.9 Secondly the Sonne Thus did Paul Eph. 1.12 Phil. 2.19 And good reason for he is our hope 1 Tim. 1.1 Col. 1.27 The hope of Israel Act. 28.20 and he in whom the Gentiles trust Rom. 15.12 yea they are blessed that trust him Psal 2.12 Thirdly the Holy-Ghost A woe is denounced against the people of Israel tor trusting in Egypt and not on him who as the Prophet speaketh cover with a covering but not of Gods Spi●it Isai 30.1.2 sheltering themselves in time of danger under humane aide and neglecting the Divine protection of Geds Spirit The Apostle sheweth there is but one hope of our calling as well as one Lord one faith one baptisme one God Eph. 4 4 5 6. If therefore the Sonne and Holy-Ghost was not one and the same God and Lord with the Father it would not be one and the same hope in the Father Sonne and Holy-Ghost And without doubt we believe in him we hope in him to whom we give up our Names in Baptisme and with whom we doe then make a Covenant which is one God in three Persons we being baptized in the Name of the Father and of the Sonne and of Holy-Ghost CHAP. X. We are Baptized in the Name of the Father and of the Sonne and of the Holy-Ghost BAptisme properly and strictly taken is a Sacrament of initiation wherein those to whom the Covenant belongeth being washed with water are consecrated to the service of the great Lord of heavē earth ingrafted into the Church made partakers of all the
