Jer. 4.4 Acts 7.51 ●●●m 12.28 Phil. 3.3 Col. ● 11 so Baptisme telleth us that being once dead unto sinne wee are to live unto righteousnesse that all we that have been baptized unto Iesus Christ have been baptized unto his death c. and must walke in newnesse of life c b Rom 5.3 c. for wee have put on Christ c Gal. 3.26 by Baptisme And as the Paschall Lambe was to the Iewes a token that the flight of sinne should alwayes bee fresh in memory and that it should be celebrated not with the old Leaven neither in the Leaven of maliciousnesse but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth d 1 Cor 5.8 so the participation of one Loafe and of one Cup in the Lord his Supper doth commend unto our consideration a sweet concord a brotherly unanimity and a constant continuance in the true worship of God without favouring of Idolatry in any respect e 1 Cor 107.
