And this Baptism is a pure and spiritual Thing to wit the Baptism of the Spirit and Fire by which we are buried with him that being washed and purged from our Sins we may walk in newness of Life of which the Baptism of John was a Figure which was commanded for a time and not to continue for ever As to the Baptism of Infants it is a meer Humane Tradition for which neither Precept nor Practice is to be found in all the Scripture The Thirteenth Proposition Concerning the Communion or Participation of the Body and Blood of Christ. The Communion of the Body and Blood of Christ is Inward and Spiritual which is the Participation of his Flesh and Blood by which the Inward Man is daily Nourished in the Hearts of those in whom Christ dwells Of which things the breaking of Bread by Christ with his Disciples was a Figure which they even used in the Church for a time who had received the Substance for the cause of the Weak even as abstaining from things strangled and from Blood the washing one anothers Feet and the anointing of the Sick with Oyl all which are commanded with no less Authority and Solemnity than the former Yet seeing they are but the Shadows of better things they cease in such as have obtained the Substance The Fourteenth Proposition Concerning the Power of the Civil Magistrate in Matters purely Religious and pertaining to the Conscience Since God hath assumed to himself the Power and Dominion of the Conscience who alone can rightly instruct and govern it therefore it is not lawful for any whatsoever by Virtue of any Authority or Principality they bear in the Government of this World to force the Consciences of others and therefore all Killing Banishing Fining Imprisoning and other such things which Men are afflicted with for the alone Exercise of their Conscience or difference in Worship or Opinion proceedeth from the Spirit of Cain the Murtherer and is contrary to the Truth provided always that no Man under the pretence of Conscience prejudice his Neighbour in his Life or Estate or do any thing destructive to or inconsistent with Humane Society in which Case the Law is for the Transgressor and Justice to be administred upon all without respect of Persons The Fifteenth Proposition Concerning Salutations and Recreations c. Seeing the chief End of all Religion is to redeem Man from the Spirit and vain Conversation of this World and to lead into inward Communion with God before whom if we fear always we are accounted Happy therefore all the vain Customs and Habits thereof both in Word and Deed are to be rejected and forsaken by those who come to this Fear such as the taking off the Hat to a Man the Bowings and Cringings of the Body and such other Salutations of that kind with all the foolish and superstitious Formalities attending them all which Man has invented in his degenerate State to feed his Pride in the vain Pomp and Glory of this World as also the Unprofitable Plays Frivolous Recreations Sportings and Gaming 's which are invented to pass away the Precious Time and divert the Mind from the Witness of God in the Heart and from the Living Sense of his Fear and from that Evangelical Spirit wherewith Christians ought to be leavened and which leads into Sobriety Gravity and Godly Fear in which as we abide the Blessing of the Lord is felt to attend us in those Actions in which we are necessarily engaged in order to the taking care for the Sustenance of the outward Man FINIS Joh. 17. 3.
