were upheld by a Law And where proves J. W. that outward Baptism in Water does signifie or resemble Christs death burial or Resurrection as he hath implyed We hope he will not say that Believers dye in outward Baptism and are buried three daies in the Water as Christ was in the Earth so that Water Baptism when it was practiced by a command from heaven as John did it had rather a resemblance or signification of the state of Believers and their inward washing then of the state of Christ in his sufferings and Resurrection And where J. W. as a proof for his Water Baptism brings Rom. 6.4 Col. 2.12 We are buried with him by Baptism into death c. In this he hath contradicted himself for before this Baptism in Water was but to signifie the Burial and Resurrection of Christ and the fellowship of the Saints in his death and therefore it could not be that Baptism by which they were buried with Christ into death so all may see what Idolatry he is in about Water and how he is mudled in his confusion though he without just cause is offended that we should count their Baptism a carnal empty shadow or low thing that God is gone out of though it be both true and apparent enough since they make such an Idol of it and practise it without either immediate command from Heaven or motion of Gods Spirit for it but onely do it by tradition and imitation from the use of it in the time of the Churches Infancy when peoples minds were not redeemed out of such things And as for Christs sending the blind man to wash his eyes in the pool of Siloam who when he had washed came seeing John 9.6 7. This is no proof for your plunging or baptizing People in water though J.W. thou hast brought it for thy proof so that thou hast but herein discovered thy idolatrous Spirit and for all thy Baptism in Water thou art yet blind thy eyes are not opened though thou hast had more of thy body outwardly washed then thy eyes And further in p. 39. and 40. Joseph VVright saith That Baptism in VVater in the Name of Jesus Christ is unto the Repentant Believer the way of Salvation because Christ hath walked therein to make it so c. and that as the sinner comes to be washed in his body with pure water so he comes to be sprinkled in his heart or spirit with the bloud of Christ from an evil conscience and to prove it he cites Heb. 10.22 Answ. Here it may be seen how this Baptist goes on in his Idolatry and what a great Idol he hath made of Water Baptism to account it the way of Salvation and so he hath set up another way for Salvation then the true Ministers did for Christ is the way of Life and Salvation and the Rock from whence comes the water of Life which sprinkles the heart from an evil Conscience and this is not a carnal or visible Element of the world so that this Baptist in preaching up water Baptism to be the way to Salvation he would limit Christ and his salvation as if none were in the way of salvation but a company of Baptists or such as are plunged by them in outward Water and so if that water-Baptisme be the way of Salvation then it is Christ but this is another Christ then the true Apostles preached so that this Doctrine herein must needs be Antichristian from which also it follows that those that would know the way of salvation and come to Christ they must go to the Baptists for Christ and Salvation which if their Water-Baptism be it then they can make Christ and make a way of Salvation and then in such places where there is not outward water enough to be found to plunge people in over head and ears there they must want salvation if then Water-Baptism be it and if the sinner comes but to be sprinkled from an evil conscience when his body is washed in outward water and that be the way of cleansing a heart from an evil conscience then it seems that all mens consciences are evil but the Baptists And thus he hath discovered his absurdity and grosse Idolatry as one that never knew the way of Salvation nor that living water which cleanseth the heart from an evil conscience nor that one Baptism of the spirit which the Saints preached by which they were all baptized into one body which is the substance wherein the antitype and end of shadows and figures and how far they reached is seen and manifested and J.W. thy doctrine of Idolatry tend more to strengthen the Papists in their way for the Popish masse then theirs who preach up the Light within though thou hast charged such a Preacher of the Light with denying the bread which is eaten in that you call the Lords Supper to be made of Corn or the Wine that is drunk to be the fruit of the Vine as in Pag. 48. but him whom thou hast so accused thou hast not discovered by name nor where he spoke it for there is none that truely owns and Preaches the light within that will say that outward bread which is eaten in that called the Lords Supper is not made of Corn or deny the outward Wine that is drunk to be the fruit of the Vine But this we know that the Lords Supper is a mysterie which you who live in deceit and iniquity who are doating about outward shadows as bread and wine and water never came to eat or drink at but only they who are come to the Lamb of God that takes away sin and to the marriage Supper of the Lamb who saith behold I stand at the door and knock if any man hear my voice and open to me I will sup with him and he with me and here at this supper that bread and that fruit of the Vine is received in the Paradice of God which is not outward changable nor carnall and to this Supper Drunkards Malitious persons and Liars cannot come and wherein page 47. thou judgest such as preach the Light within for their reward to have the mist of darknesse reserved for ever In this thou hast but discovered thy self to be in the gall of bitternesse and in the enmity of him who is the Father of Lyes whose work thou art in against the Light and the Children of it and that will be thy own reward which thou hast judged others with unless thou repentest more of thy folly and confusion about these carnal things which thou art doting about might be mentioned which at present are omitted but thou hast discovered thy self sufficiently already as one that never knew the way of Salvation nor the cleansing of thy heart from an evil conscience for all thy Baptism in water which thou hast accounted the way of Salvation and cleansing though others of you Baptists have openly said as some did at a Dispute in Southwark there is no stresse for Salvation upon
