person_n nor_o be_v it_o any_o marvel_n when_o they_o do_v dip_v poor_a child_n in_o water_n that_o some_o of_o they_o die_v since_o they_o be_v not_o the_o true_a subject_n of_o baptism_n if_o they_o have_v no_o doubt_n god_n will_v have_v preserve_v they_o as_o well_o as_o he_o do_v those_o babe_n who_o once_o he_o require_v to_o be_v circumcise_a can_v any_o believe_v god_n will_v command_v any_o such_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v that_o shall_v endanger_v the_o life_n of_o a_o child_n that_o be_v doubtless_o a_o just_a rebuke_n for_o the_o profanation_n of_o christ_n bless_a ordinance_n he_o will_v one_o day_n i_o fear_v say_v who_o have_v require_v this_o at_o your_o hand_n nay_o and_o who_o know_v what_o judgement_n and_o wrath_n may_v come_v upon_o this_o land_n for_o the_o abominable_a abuse_n of_o the_o sacred_a institution_n of_o baptism_n god_n many_o time_n show_v man_n their_o sin_n by_o the_o punishment_n he_o bring_v upon_o they_o if_o you_o be_v so_o fond_a of_o

confess_v in_o a_o late_a discourse_n i_o have_v with_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n he_o plead_v for_o this_o see_v he_o can_v not_o defend_v rantism_n but_o to_o give_v a_o direct_a answer_n pray_v consider_v whether_o it_o be_v the_o person_n viz._n the_o man_n or_o woman_n or_o part_n of_o the_o person_n that_o christ_n command_v to_o be_v baptize_v if_o not_o the_o whole_a body_n why_o may_v it_o not_o serve_v only_o to_o wash_v or_o dip_v the_o hand_n but_o if_o it_o be_v the_o hand_n only_o or_o the_o foot_n or_o the_o head_n only_o that_o be_v to_o be_v

be_v evident_a the_o whole_a body_n ought_v to_o be_v dip_v or_o baptize_v because_o as_o we_o shall_v show_v in_o the_o next_o chapter_n baptism_n be_v a_o figure_n of_o the_o burial_n and_o

be_v say_v to_o be_v baptize_v except_o he_o be_v cover_v all_o over_o in_o the_o water_n 4._o we_o have_v show_v how_o all_o the_o learned_a agree_v and_o positive_o assert_v that_o baptism_n be_v administer_v in_o the_o primitive_a time_n by_o a_o total_a dip_v the_o body_n in_o water_n and_o indeed_o at_o first_o when_o this_o innovation_n of_o rantism_n come_v in_o they_o use_v to_o sprinkle_v the_o body_n all_o over_o be_v sure_o it_o be_v not_o one_o part_n but_o the_o whole_a body_n that_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v and_o so_o they_o rantize_v the_o whole_a body_n but_o you_o be_v go_v here_o too_o for_o you_o in_o your_o practice_n and_o in_o your_o own_o sense_n baptise_v but_o the_o face_n only_o so_o that_o all_o your_o people_n be_v unbaptise_v person_n as_o evident_a as_o any_o thing_n can_v be_v take_v it_o how_o you_o will_v if_o it_o shall_v be_v grant_v i_o mean_v that_o sprinkle_v be_v baptism_n chap._n iu._n prove_v that_o baptism_n be_v dip_v plunge_a or_o bury_v the_o whole_a body_n in_o water_n in_o the_o name_n etc._n etc._n from_o the_o spiritual_a or_o metaphorical_a signification_n of_o this_o gospel-ordinance_n or_o administration_n to_o make_v it_o appear_v yet_o more_o full_o that_o baptism_n be_v not_o sprinkle_v pour_v nor_o any_o other_o thing_n than_o dip_v plunge_a or_o cover_v of_o the_o body_n in_o water_n we_o shall_v proceed_v to_o examine_v what_o it_o be_v ordain_v for_o by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o hold_v forth_o or_o to_o be_v a_o sign_n or_o representation_n of_o for_o like_a as_o in_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n of_o the_o supper_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o know_v what_o the_o break_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o pour_v forth_o of_o the_o wine_n signify_v or_o be_v figure_n of_o so_o in_o like_a manner_n we_o ought_v with_o as_o great_a care_n to_o endeavour_v to_o know_v what_o be_v hold_v forth_o or_o represent_v to_o we_o as_o the_o holy_a sign_n of_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n of_o baptism_n for_o as_o all_o true_a christian_n ready_o do_v confess_v and_o agree_v with_o we_o that_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v not_o can_v be_v right_o nor_o true_o administer_v if_o the_o great_a end_n and_o design_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o institution_n of_o it_o be_v not_o answer_v thereby_o or_o what_o it_o be_v ordain_v and_o appoint_v to_o signify_v plain_o hold_v forth_o and_o represent_v in_o its_o administration_n but_o it_o be_v contrariwise_o a_o great_a abuse_n and_o profanation_n of_o it_o and_o from_o hence_o we_o and_o all_o true_a protestant_n always_o say_v let_v we_o keep_v to_o the_o exact_a word_n of_o the_o institution_n and_o manner_n of_o its_o first_o celebration_n that_o so_o the_o great_a thing_n signify_v both_o by_o the_o break_n the_o bread_n and_o pour_v forth_o the_o wine_n may_v clear_o appear_v and_o be_v represent_v in_o the_o administration_n thereof_o now_o then_o this_o be_v that_o which_o we_o affirm_v viz._n that_o as_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v ordain_v to_o hold_v forth_o the_o break_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o the_o pour_v forth_o of_o his_o blood_n so_o in_o like_a manner_n the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n be_v institute_v and_o appoint_v to_o hold_v forth_o christ_n be_v real_o dead_a bury_v and_o that_o he_o arise_v again_o for_o our_o justification_n and_o that_o this_o be_v so_o we_o shall_v not_o only_o prove_v it_o from_o the_o plain_a authority_n of_o god_n word_n but_o by_o the_o joint_a testimony_n of_o almost_o all_o famous_a writer_n and_o divine_n we_o have_v meet_v with_o ancient_a or_o modern_a and_o indeed_o we_o can_v but_o be_v much_o affect_v with_o the_o great_a love_n and_o goodness_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n in_o the_o institution_n of_o these_o two_o great_a ordinance_n it_o be_v his_o gracious_a design_n and_o condescension_n hereby_o to_o hold_v forth_o or_o preach_v as_o i_o may_v say_v to_o the_o very_a sight_n of_o our_o visible_a eye_n by_o these_o fit_a and_o proper_a medium_n the_o glorious_a doctrine_n of_o his_o death_n burial_n and_o resurrection_n which_o in_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o word_n be_v preach_v or_o hold_v forth_o to_o the_o hear_n of_o our_o ear_n that_o so_o we_o may_v the_o better_o and_o more_o effectual_o be_v establish_v and_o ground_v in_o the_o sure_a and_o steadfast_a belief_n thereof_o which_o be_v indeed_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v plain_o testify_v 1_o cor._n 15._o 1._o 2_o 3_o 4._o moreover_o brethren_n i_o declare_v unto_o you_o the_o gospel_n which_o i_o preach_v unto_o you_o which_o also_o you_o receive_v and_o wherein_o you_o stand_v vers_n 1._o by_o which_o also_o you_o be_v save_v if_o you_o keep_v in_o memory_n what_o i_o preach_v unto_o you_o unless_o you_o have_v believe_v in_o vain_a vers_fw-la 2._o for_o i_o deliver_v unto_o you_o first_o of_o all_o that_o which_o i_o also_o receive_v how_o christ_n die_v for_o our_o sin_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n vers_fw-la 3._o and_o that_o he_o be_v bury_v and_o that_o he_o rise_v again_o the_o three_o

or_o its_o original_a glory_n wherein_o according_a to_o the_o gracious_a design_n of_o jesus_n christ_n we_o daily_o receive_v in_o behold_v the_o administration_n of_o this_o sacrament_n as_o well_o
