It 's not sprinkling dropping or pouring of Water Sprinkling is known to be Rantising not Baptising or Baptism Baptism is an external washing plunging or dipping a profest Believer in the Name of the Father Son and Holy Ghost Which I thus demonstrate The Hebrew word Tabal 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Dip. The Septuagint translate it 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as Dr. Hammond notes on John 13.10 Gen. 37.31 Levit. 4.6 Deut. 33.24 2 Kings 5.14 Josh 3.15 1. From the Scripture-acceptation of the Word the word Baptize in the New Testament is taken from the word Dip in the Old as the Learned do know Where 't is said Joseph 's Coat was dipt in Blood The Priest's Finger dipt in Blood Asher 's Foot dipt in Oil. The Priests Feet dipt in Jordan Naaman wash'd or dipt seven times in the same River with many more places of Scripture ☞ Moreover 't is worth our noting the word translated Dip John 13.26 Rev. 19.13 Luke 16.24 concerning the Sop Judas had And where it 's said Christ's Vesture was dipt in Blood it is from the same Original word Baptism is that our Translators might had they pleased have rendred the word Baptizing Dipping being from the same Theme Bapto as Baptism is We are much to be governed by the Common and Vulgar acceptation of words as they were used and understood among all Nations God so inspired the Prophets and Apostles to deliver his Mind always in such words as were understood among the vulgar and ordinary People or else they would have been Barbarians unto them We cannot understand each other in Discourse but this way I call for a Book it 's readily given me because every one knows what it is we call a Book So if Tabal were used among the Hebrews for Dip in the common Acceptation and the Learned Hebrews by the Order of Ptolomy King of Egypt did translate that word Baptizo which was commonly accepted for Dip among the Grecians and we also translate Baptizo Dip none but an Enthusiast will object against the common acceptation of words This puts me in mind of a Discourse between Bishop Vsher and Mr. Hanserd Knowllys about the Propriety of the word Baptizo the Bishop said it signified to sprinkle as well as dip Mr. Knowllys said it signified only to dip there being other words in the Greek for sprinkling and pouring 'T is observable 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to wash 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to pour 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to sprinkle are never taken or used for Dip or Baptize nor 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 simply taken for Washing by sprinkling or pouring Danvers on Baptism p. 206. To end this Controversy those who could produce the best and most Authors for their Sense should carry it the Bishop after some search found Two for his Opinion Mr. Knowllys brings Seventy for his Two namely the Septuagint and so the Controversy ended The Writings of the most Learned of the contrary Mind do confess that the Original Word * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 from whence Baptism is taken signifieth properly to dip Leigh's Critica Sacra saith The native signification of the Word is to dip into or plunge under Water as the Dyer dips his Cloth in his Fat 's The Book of Canons saith You shall dip c.

The end of the Ordinance sheweth Baptism to be dipping which is to hold forth unto a Believer the Death Burial and Resurrection of Christ as the Apostle saith Rom. 6.4 We are buried with him in Baptism Although there be no manner of similitude and likeness between Christ's Death and Burial with sprinkling a little Water on the Face yet burying in the Water is as lively a Similitude and Likeness of Jesus Christ's Death as the breaking Bread and pouring out the Wine is at the Lord's Table So that they lose one great End of this Ordinance who Rantize instead of Baptize for no Man accounts him buried who hath only Earth cast on his Face but he who is in the Heart of the Earth and covered with the same 3. John the beloved Disciple gives this as the Reason why John the Baptist baptized in Enon John 3.23 because there was much Water there the place was commodious for that Ordinance Hence our blessed Saviour came from Galilee to Jordan From Galilee to Jordan where John baptized is about thirty or forty miles to be baptized of him there which if Sprinkling would have done there had been no need of much Water nor Rivers 4. That Baptism is Dipping appears from Scripture-Metaphors explaining it Luke 15.50 Our Lord's Sufferings are called a Baptism because his Pains were not only upon one part of his Body No such thing as Sprinkling or Rantizing used in the Apostles Days nor many Ages after Mede's Diatribe but his whole Soul and Body was baptized and plunged into Sorrows Thus one that is Baptized is plunged under Water to shew how Christ was Baptized and plunged into Sorrows for Man's sake Great Measures of the Spirit are also discovered by Persons being said to be Baptized with the Spirit Acts 1.5 for where the word Baptism is used whether it be joined with Suffering with the Spirit or with Water it always holds forth a great quantity either of Sufferings of the Spirit or Water 5.
