god_n act_v faith_n in_o they_o in_o this_o ordinance_n do_v not_o only_o clear_v up_o to_o they_o more_o sweet_o the_o pretiousnesse_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n but_o also_o confirm_v to_o they_o more_o rich_o their_o interest_n in_o the_o same_o to_o wit_n the_o remission_n of_o all_o their_o sin_n and_o their_o peace_n with_o the_o father_n through_o jesus_n christ_n hitherto_o i_o conceive_v tend_v that_o of_o peter_n to_o his_o perplex_a hearer_n act_n 2.38_o repent_v and_o be_v baptize_v every_o one_o of_o you_o in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n he_o do_v not_o say_v neither_o dare_v i_o say_v that_o baptism_n be_v a_o remedy_n to_o remit_v sin_n for_o than_o i_o shall_v run_v into_o the_o mistake_n of_o such_o who_o plead_v for_o their_o infant_n baptism_n do_v say_v baptism_n be_v a_o remedy_n to_o take_v away_o that_o sin_n which_o they_o as_o the_o son_n of_o adam_n have_v convey_v to_o they_o but_o this_o scripture_n i_o conceive_v hold_v forth_o to_o we_o especial_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o repentance_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v preach_v &_o give_v only_o in_o the_o name_n or_o through_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n there_o be_v sufficiency_n of_o grace_n and_o strength_n in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o in_o he_o only_o to_o give_v you_o repentance_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o it_o will_v agree_v with_o what_o be_v write_v by_o luke_n 24.47_o and_o that_o repentance_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n shall_v be_v preach_v in_o his_o name_n among_o all_o nation_n begin_v at_o jerusalem_n second_o that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n do_v in_o baptism_n confirm_v or_o witness_v unto_o believer_n in_o some_o comfortable_a measure_n the_o forgiveness_n of_o their_o sin_n in_o his_o name_n and_o therefore_o he_o command_v they_o to_o be_v baptize_v partly_o for_o this_o end_n that_o in_o baptism_n he_o may_v confirm_v to_o they_o in_o some_o measure_n by_o his_o spirit_n act_v faith_n in_o they_o the_o remission_n of_o their_o sin_n for_o when_o a_o believer_n be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n act_n faith_n in_o he_o in_o his_o baptism_n then_o be_v his_o heart_n more_o sweet_o assure_v that_o through_o this_o name_n all_o his_o sin_n be_v remit_v and_o he_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o god_n and_o to_o this_o purpose_n i_o conceive_v we_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o scripture_n act_v 22.16_o arise_v and_o be_v baptize_v and_o wash_v away_o thy_o sin_n call_v on_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n not_o that_o baptism_n do_v wash_v away_o sin_n for_o it_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n only_o receive_v by_o we_o through_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o operation_n of_o god_n that_o wash_v or_o cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o sin_n but_o thus_o be_v baptize_v and_o in_o thy_o baptism_n call_v on_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v act_n faith_n in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o who_o name_n thou_o be_v baptize_v that_o through_o faith_n in_o his_o name_n in_o this_o ordinance_n thy_o heart_n may_v be_v further_o confirm_v in_o this_o assurance_n that_o all_o thy_o sin_n be_v wash_v away_o in_o his_o precious_a blood_n and_o to_o this_o purpose_n i_o conceive_v we_o be_v to_o understand_v mark_n 1.4_o and_o luk._n 3.3_o concern_v johns_n baptism_n only_o johns_n baptism_n do_v point_n at_o christ_n yet_o to_o come_v and_o that_o which_o christ_n after_o give_v in_o commission_n do_v hold_v forth_o christ_n already_o come_v and_o this_o privilege_n or_o benefit_n believer_n have_v doubtless_o find_v in_o baptism_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o eunuch_n after_o he_o be_v baptize_v go_v on_o his_o way_n rejoice_v act_v 8.39_o he_o have_v find_v something_o of_o christ_n in_o this_o ordinance_n which_o give_v he_o occasion_n of_o rejoice_v it_o be_v not_o a_o useless_a but_o a_o gainful_a ordinance_n through_o christ_n to_o he_o and_o so_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o jailor_n and_o all_o his_o house_n after_o they_o be_v baptize_v he_o rejoice_v believe_v in_o god_n with_o all_o his_o house_n some_o increase_n of_o faith_n and_o some_o witness_n of_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n they_o have_v find_v minister_v to_o they_o by_o the_o spirit_n in_o this_o ordinance_n and_o as_o it_o be_v give_v to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n straightway_o after_o his_o baptism_n to_o see_v heaven_n open_v and_o to_o hear_v the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n witness_v from_o heaven_n to_o he_o by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n even_o so_o the_o like_a mercy_n in_o a_o less_o measure_n be_v give_v to_o believer_n in_o and_o after_o their_o baptism_n neither_o be_v this_o fruit_n only_o to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o present_a administration_n of_o baptism_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o this_o benefit_n among_o other_o baptism_n have_v a_o influence_n into_o the_o whole_a life_n of_o a_o believer_n and_o true_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v very_o observable_a in_o this_o respect_n for_o by_o baptism_n or_o straight_a way_n upon_o it_o believer_n be_v call_v out_o to_o wrestle_v with_o satan_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o open_a field_n they_o be_v set_v as_o a_o but_o for_o satan_n and_o the_o world_n to_o shoot_v against_o and_o therefore_o they_o have_v need_n be_v arm_v with_o the_o strength_n and_o love_n of_o christ_n give_v into_o their_o heart_n by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n in_o this_o ordinance_n thus_o much_o concern_v the_o explication_n of_o this_o privilege_n instruction_n instruction_n hence_o believer_n may_v be_v instruct_v to_o act_v faith_n daily_o in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o this_o ordinance_n and_o to_o expect_v a_o renew_a power_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n enable_v they_o in_o the_o faith_n to_o look_v often_o upon_o christ_n therein_o as_o also_o witness_v afresh_o to_o their_o heart_n in_o such_o act_n of_o faith_n the_o remission_n of_o all_o their_o sin_n through_o he_o in_o who_o name_n they_o be_v baptize_v for_o baptism_n be_v not_o only_o useful_a to_o believer_n in_o the_o present_a administration_n of_o it_o but_o for_o future_a time_n also_o the_o comfort_n and_o benefit_n of_o it_o through_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n who_o name_n be_v call_v upon_o they_o therein_o have_v a_o influence_n into_o the_o whole_a life_n of_o a_o believer_n therefore_o let_v believer_n account_v their_o baptism_n to_o be_v of_o great_a use_n and_o comfort_n to_o they_o through_o christ_n by_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n in_o they_o therein_o trial_n trial_n again_o the_o clear_n up_o of_o this_o privilege_n may_v serve_v as_o a_o fixth_n touchstone_n for_o the_o trial_n of_o infant_n baptism_n whereby_o the_o unlawfulnesse_n thereof_o will_v be_v further_o discover_v i_o lay_v down_o this_o conclusion_n to_o wit_n baptism_n may_v be_v lawful_o administer_v to_o none_o but_o to_o such_o who_o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v make_v meet_a in_o some_o measure_n to_o be_v partaker_n of_o such_o a_o privilege_n in_o baptism_n to_o have_v the_o remission_n of_o their_o sin_n through_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n confirm_v or_o witness_v to_o their_o heart_n by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n who_o name_n be_v call_v upon_o they_o in_o this_o ordinance_n be_v infant_n meet_v to_o have_v repentance_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n preach_v to_o they_o through_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o be_v baptize_v in_o his_o name_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v they_o meet_v to_o have_v remission_n of_o sin_n through_o christ_n witness_v to_o their_o heart_n in_o baptism_n by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n who_o neither_o know_v their_o sin_n nor_o know_v christ_n nor_o know_v the_o holy_a spirit_n in_o his_o gracious_a and_o comfortable_a operation_n therefore_o the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n be_v not_o of_o god_n for_o i_o affirm_v as_o i_o say_v before_o that_o baptism_n can_v lawful_o be_v administer_v to_o none_o but_o such_o who_o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v make_v meet_a in_o some_o measure_n to_o receive_v remission_n of_o sin_n in_o baptism_n i_o mean_v to_o have_v the_o remission_n of_o sin_n through_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n witness_v and_o confirm_v to_o their_o heart_n in_o some_o comfortable_a measure_n by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n work_v gracious_o in_o they_o in_o that_o ordinance_n and_o sure_o at_o the_o least_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o they_o know_v their_o sin_n and_o know_v christ_n and_o know_v the_o holy_a spririt_n and_o know_v his_o operation_n when_o he_o put_v forth_o his_o grace_n and_o power_n in_o they_o now_o how_o these_o thing_n will_v agree_v to_o infant_n i_o leave_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o wise_a thus_o much_o concern_v the_o privilege_n or_o benefit_n which_o the_o lord_n jesus_n give_v in_o a_o gracious_a and_o meet_a proportion_n unto_o believer_n in_o their_o

the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n carry_v the_o force_n of_o a_o promise_n in_o they_o for_o in_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v command_v his_o servant_n to_o baptize_v believer_n in_o his_o name_n to_o put_v or_o call_v his_o name_n upon_o they_o in_o baptism_n he_o say_v amen_o to_o it_o he_o confirm_v the_o word_n of_o his_o servant_n he_o perform_v what_o he_o promise_v to_o they_o agreeable_a to_o what_o he_o say_v by_o moses_n numb_a 6.27_o they_o shall_v put_v my_o name_n upon_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o i_o will_v bless_v they_o now_o the_o sum_n of_o what_o the_o lord_n promise_v or_o say_v amen_o to_o and_o which_o his_o servant_n declare_v in_o his_o name_n unto_o believer_n in_o baptism_n be_v this_o to_o wit_n the_o lord_n be_v your_o father_n and_o

mercy_n truth_n peace_n blessing_n strength_n teach_v and_o preservation_n to_o you_o there_o be_v his_o grace_n and_o indeed_o as_o his_o name_n alone_o be_v excellent_a in_o respect_n of_o authority_n so_o in_o respect_n of_o grace_n also_o the_o second_o thing_n which_o be_v employ_v be_v this_o to_o wit_n believer_n in_o baptism_n do_v profess_v to_o put_v or_o call_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v his_o authority_n and_o grace_n upon_o themselves_o for_o in_o baptism_n there_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o promise_n on_o their_o part_n and_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o they_o shall_v open_o declare_v before_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o servant_n thus_o we_o do_v now_o profess_v the_o lord_n alone_o to_o be_v our_o lord_n our_o god_n our_o father_n and_o our_o master_n and_o ourselves_o to_o be_v his_o child_n his_o servant_n his_o people_n and_o that_o we_o give_v up_o ourselves_o whole_o and_o only_o to_o he_o to_o serve_v he_o to_o love_v he_o to_o fear_v he_o to_o honour_v he_o there_o be_v a_o acknowledgement_n of_o his_o authority_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o likewise_o to_o depend_v upon_o he_o and_o to_o trust_v in_o he_o only_o for_o mercy_n righteousness_n peace_n blessing_n strength_n wisdedome_n preservation_n and_o all_o good_a thing_n there_o be_v a_o acknowledgement_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o thus_o or_o to_o this_o purpose_n believer_n be_v say_v to_o put_v on_o christ_n in_o baptism_n as_o it_o be_v express_v by_o the_o apostle_n gal._n 3.27_o and_o thus_o as_o the_o lord_n have_v teach_v i_o i_o have_v show_v you_o what_o it_o be_v for_o disciple_n or_o believer_n to_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o therein_o i_o have_v brief_o declare_v to_o you_o one_o of_o those_o glorious_a privilege_n which_o the_o lord_n jesus_n give_v to_o believer_n in_o baptism_n and_o indeed_o such_o to_o who_o the_o lord_n give_v a_o spiritual_a understanding_n will_v acknowledge_v that_o this_o be_v a_o glorious_a privilege_n instruction_n instruction_n that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v for_o the_o clear_n up_o of_o this_o privilege_n be_v useful_a to_o instruct_v believer_n who_o be_v under_o the_o obedience_n of_o this_o ordinance_n as_o believer_n to_o look_v upon_o their_o baptism_n neither_o as_o shameful_a nor_o beggarly_a but_o as_o honourable_a and_o precious_a through_o christ_n who_o name_n be_v call_v upon_o they_o in_o the_o same_o therefore_o be_v not_o ashamed_a of_o your_o baptism_n but_o own_o it_o continual_o and_o before_o all_o man_n as_o a_o honourable_a and_o rich_a privilege_n to_o you_o through_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o again_o let_v believer_n be_v instruct_v to_o walk_v answerable_o to_o this_o privilege_n which_o the_o lord_n jesus_n give_v they_o in_o their_o baptism_n let_v they_o in_o all_o thing_n and_o at_o all_o time_n be_v subject_a to_o he_o as_o their_o lord_n and_o master_n let_v they_o be_v subject_a to_o none_o other_o in_o the_o thing_n of_o christ_n but_o christ_n only_o who_o authority_n only_o they_o have_v profess_v in_o baptism_n to_o be_v subject_a to_o let_v they_o in_o all_o their_o way_n &_o relation_n walk_v according_a to_o the_o lord_n christ_n who_o commandment_n they_o have_v profess_v to_o be_v subject_a to_o let_v they_o likewise_o look_v for_o all_o supply_n of_o grace_n from_o the_o lord_n jesus_n that_o in_o his_o grace_n and_o strength_n they_o may_v serve_v he_o in_o all_o thing_n and_o at_o all_o time_n that_o in_o all_o their_o conversation_n they_o may_v show_v forth_o the_o praise_n and_o honour_n of_o their_o lord_n and_o master_n who_o name_n be_v call_v upon_o they_o trial_n trial_n again_o this_o privilege_n which_o believer_n have_v in_o baptism_n through_o christ_n may_v serve_v as_o a_o three_o touchstone_n of_o infant_n baptism_n for_o i_o thus_o conclude_v baptism_n may_v lawful_o be_v administer_v to_o none_o but_o unto_o such_o only_a who_o the_o lord_n have_v make_v meet_a to_o be_v partaker_n of_o such_o a_o privilege_n as_o to_o have_v his_o name_n call_v upon_o they_o in_o baptism_n and_o who_o be_v these_o but_o first_o such_o as_o know_v the_o lord_n such_o as_o know_v the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a spirit_n such_o as_o know_v the_o authority_n and_o grace_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n such_o as_o know_v what_o the_o lord_n

lord_n have_v enable_v in_o some_o measure_n to_o walk_v answerable_o to_o such_o a_o privilege_n and_o such_o a_o profession_n as_o the_o lord_n put_v upon_o they_o and_o they_o take_v upon_o themselves_o in_o baptism_n from_o thenceforth_o to_o walk_v as_o the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n who_o name_n therein_o be_v call_v upon_o they_o be_v subject_a in_o all_o thing_n to_o he_o and_o depend_v for_o all_o thing_n upon_o he_o only_o now_o than_o the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n be_v wise_o and_o sincere_o apply_v to_o this_o touchstone_n it_o will_v evident_o appear_v to_o all_o discern_a humble_a spirit_n not_o to_o be_v of_o god_n but_o of_o man_n only_o for_o have_v the_o lord_n make_v they_o to_o be_v meet_a partaker_n of_o this_o ordinance_n do_v they_o know_v the_o
