figure_n of_o baptism_n it_o be_v bury_n with_o he_o in_o baptism_n which_o be_v the_o death_n and_o burial_n of_o sin_n 2._o here_o be_v the_o total_a abolition_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n but_o

their_o own_o baptism_n for_o what_o analogy_n can_v there_o be_v in_o burial_n which_o they_o make_v the_o pattern_n for_o their_o mode_n of_o baptism_n wherein_o the_o subject_n be_v whole_o passive_a so_o as_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o and_o be_v active_a in_o baptism_n here_o the_o former_a part_n of_o their_o argument_n contradict_v and_o destroy_v the_o latter_a part_n thereof_o 4._o the_o substance_n of_o these_o scripture_n do_v not_o only_o make_v more_o for_o we_o who_o do_v affirm_v that_o all_o the_o subject_n of_o baptism_n be_v whole_o passive_a in_o the_o

by_o the_o application_n of_o water_n any_o way_n to_o the_o thing_n mark_v 7.4_o the_o pharisee_n eat_v not_o except_o they_o wash_v in_o the_o greek_a it_o be_v except_o they_o be_v baptize_v again_o luke_n 11.38_o the_o pharisee_n marvel_v that_o our_o saviour_n have_v not_o first_o wash_v before_o dinner_n in_o the_o greek_a likewise_o it_o be_v that_o he_o be_v not_o first_o baptize_v second_o in_o pag._n 59_o in_o those_o example_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v most_o express_a for_o dip_v and_o therefore_o be_v most_o common_o urge_v for_o the_o proof_n of_o it_o there_o be_v at_o

3.13_o 16._o which_o set_v forth_o the_o baptism_n of_o our_o saviour_n by_o john_n baptist_n at_o jordan_n ver_fw-la 16._o jesus_n when_o he_o be_v baptize_v go_v up_o straightway_o out_o of_o the_o

be_v much_o water_n there_o and_o because_o of_o the_o number_n of_o those_o that_o go_v to_o john_n to_o be_v baptize_v it_o be_v most_o convenient_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v in_o such_o place_n where_o there_o be_v plenty_n of_o water_n but_o can_v any_o one_o prove_v hence_o that_o they_o be_v baptize_v by_o dip_v into_o it_o or_o under_o it_o &_o c._n in_o that_o place_n it_o be_v not_o say_v that_o there_o be_v much_o water_n together_o but_o in_o the_o original_a it_o be_v many_o water_n that_o be_v many_o stream_n or_o rivulet_n etc._n etc._n but_o let_v that_o be_v how_o it_o will_v there_o be_v no_o determinate_a manner_n express_v or_o to_o be_v certain_o and_o evident_o conclude_v as_o aught_o to_o have_v be_v to_o build_v a_o consequence_n of_o such_o a_o nature_n upon_o as_o to_o infer_v a_o obligation_n to_o such_o a_o determinate_a manner_n thus_o you_o hear_v what_o this_o learned_a author_n say_v touch_v the_o mode_n of_o baptism_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v from_o mr._n b._n k_n own_o word_n to_o i_o in_o his_o book_n that_o this_o mode_n of_o they_o be_v but_o a_o bare_a supposition_n at_o best_a because_o say_v he_o suppose_v it_o be_v find_v at_o the_o last_o day_n to_o be_v dip_v this_o look_v little_a especial_o to_o lay_v such_o a_o stress_n upon_o it_o as_o to_o assert_v all_o other_o modes_n be_v no_o baptism_n for_o if_o he_o have_v a_o clear_a command_n for_o it_o why_o have_v he_o not_o say_v you_o shall_v find_v it_o to_o be_v dip_v at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o not_o suppose_v it_o be_v find_v so_o but_o say_v i_o

sufficient_o prove_v wherefore_o this_o great_a pretend_a infallible_a mode_n of_o dip_v for_o baptism_n be_v but_o a_o bare_a may_v be_v at_o the_o best_a i_o shall_v descant_v a_o little_a upon_o the_o unseemliness_n of_o immersion_n of_o woman_n and_o maid_n in_o baptism_n 1._o if_o it_o be_v a_o shame_n for_o a_o woman_n to_o be_v uncover_v in_o the_o church_n and_o worship_n of_o god_n because_o of_o the_o angel_n how_o much_o more_o abominable_a in_o the_o fight_n of_o god_n angel_n and_o man_n be_v it_o for_o woman_n and_o young_a maid_n to_o be_v uncover_v by_o be_v strip_v out_o

and_o ear_n for_o baptism_n this_o be_v against_o the_o plain_a write_a word_n in_o 1_o cor._n 11._o for_o baptism_n be_v a_o part_n of_o gospel_n church-worship_n 2._o do_v not_o nature_n itself_o
