baptism_n what_o i_o have_v say_v concern_v these_o privilege_n which_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o four_o general_a head_n which_o i_o propound_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o treatise_n may_v serve_v partly_o for_o instruction_n to_o such_o as_o desire_v to_o know_v what_o be_v the_o end_n and_o use_v and_o profit_n of_o baptism_n unto_o believer_n which_o be_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v and_o partly_o to_o blame_v such_o who_o yield_v to_o ignorant_a and_o carnal_a reason_n do_v account_n believer_n baptism_n to_o be_v a_o burden_n and_o say_v they_o christ_n have_v take_v away_o all_o burden_n from_o believer_n under_o the_o gospel_n that_o christ_n have_v take_v away_o believer_n burden_n be_v a_o holy_a and_o sweet_a conclusion_n but_o that_o believer_n baptism_n be_v a_o burden_n it_o be_v a_o carnal_a excuse_n or_o a_o sinful_a inference_n draw_v from_o that_o conclusion_n we_o have_v not_o so_o learned_a christ_n we_o account_v his_o yoke_n easy_a and_o his_o burden_n light_n i_o now_o proceed_v to_o clear_v up_o the_o five_o general_a head_n to_o wit_n what_o be_v the_o duty_n or_o what_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o carriage_n of_o believer_n in_o and_o after_o this_o ordinance_n this_o i_o shall_v be_v brief_a in_o it_o be_v record_v of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n that_o in_o or_o upon_o his_o baptism_n he_o pray_v luke_n 3.21_o and_o the_o same_o counsel_n be_v give_v to_o saul_n concern_v his_o baptism_n act_n 22.16_o arise_v and_o be_v baptize_v and_o wash_v away_o thy_o sin_n call_v on_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v pray_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o act_v faith_n in_o the_o lord_n in_o this_o ordinance_n what_o their_o duty_n be_v after_o this_o ordinance_n in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o their_o life_n i_o have_v before_o show_v in_o declare_v what_o engagement_n lie_v upon_o believer_n by_o their_o baptism_n what_o i_o have_v speak_v concern_v this_o head_n be_v useful_a to_o direct_v believer_n in_o their_o duty_n both_o how_o to_o enter_v upon_o the_o ordinance_n and_o how_o to_o behave_v themselves_o after_o it_o according_a to_o christ_n this_o likewise_o may_v serve_v for_o a_o seven_o touchstone_n of_o infant_n baptism_n whereby_o the_o unlawfulnesse_n thereof_o be_v further_o discover_v i_o lay_v down_o this_o conclusion_n to_o wit_n baptism_n can_v lawful_o be_v administer_v to_o none_o but_o such_o who_o the_o lord_n have_v make_v meet_a to_o pray_v to_o he_o and_o call_v upon_o his_o name_n in_o or_o upon_o the_o administration_n thereof_o and_o who_o the_o lord_n also_o have_v fit_v in_o some_o measure_n to_o walk_v answerable_a to_o those_o engagement_n which_o baptism_n require_v of_o we_o from_o the_o very_a time_n that_o we_o be_v under_o the_o profession_n of_o it_o but_o how_o these_o thing_n will_v agree_v with_o infant_n i_o leave_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o wise_a the_o last_o general_a head_n to_o be_v clear_v up_o be_v this_o to_o wit_n who_o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v appoint_v to_o be_v the_o dispenser_n or_o administrator_n of_o baptism_n to_o believer_n the_o scripture_n teach_v we_o that_o who_o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v authorize_v and_o appoint_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n they_o also_o in_o the_o very_a same_o commission_n and_o according_a to_o the_o same_o time_n he_o have_v authorize_v and_o appoint_v to_o baptize_v such_o as_o believe_v the_o thing_n concern_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n mat._n 28.19_o mark_n 16.15.16_o acts._n 8_o 12._o and_o as_o it_o follw_v in_o the_o 35.36.37.38_o verse_n of_o the_o same_o chapter_n if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o the_o administration_n of_o baptism_n to_o believer_n be_v tie_v to_o apostle_n only_o i_o answer_v first_o it_o be_v eviedent_n disciple_n do_v baptize_v before_o apostle_n be_v choose_v john_n 3.22.23.24_o when_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n be_v there_o baptise_v it_o be_v say_v john_n be_v not_o yet_o cast_v into_o prison_n now_o by_o compare_v mat._n 4.12_o with_o math._n 10.2.3_o 4._o we_o shall_v find_v that_o it_o be_v somewhile_n after_o john_n be_v cast_v into_o prison_n before_o the_o lord_n jesus_n call_v the_o twelve_o under_o the_o denominaton_n of_o apostle_n second_o after_o apostle_n be_v choose_v yet_o disciple_n do_v baptize_v who_o be_v no_o apostle_n as_o be_v evident_a by_o philip_n baptise_v of_o the_o eunuch_n act_v 8.3.8_o and_o ananias_n baptise_v of_o saul_n act_n 9.10_o compare_v with_o the_o 17._o and_o 18._o verse_n of_o the_o same_o chapter_n three_o the_o commission_n to_o preach_v and_o baptize_v give_v by_o christ_n to_o his_o servant_n be_v not_o give_v to_o they_o only_o or_o simple_o under_o the_o denomination_n of_o apostle_n but_o disciple_n math._n 28._o verse_n 16._o compare_v with_o 19_o and_o thus_o the_o promise_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v with_o his_o servant_n in_o the_o dispensation_n of_o these_o ordinance_n have_v a_o influence_n into_o all_o time_n even_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n four_o the_o scripture_n declare_v that_o the_o special_a or_o chief_a business_n which_o apostle_n be_v call_v to_o be_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n 1_o cor._n 1.17_o christ_n send_v i_o not_o to_o baptize_v but_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n that_o be_v the_o special_a or_o chief_a work_n which_o christ_n call_v i_o to_o do_v be_v not_o to_o baptize_v but_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n from_o whence_o we_o learn_v that_o apostle_n be_v not_o chief_o tie_v unto_o the_o administration_n of_o baptism_n neither_o be_v the_o administration_n of_o baptism_n tie_v only_o unto_o they_o five_o the_o thing_n of_o christ_n be_v commit_v by_o the_o apostle_n according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o christ_n to_o faithful_a man_n who_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o teach_v the_o same_o to_o other_o also_o 2_o tim._n 2.2_o and_o doubtless_o those_o who_o have_v a_o calling_n to_o teach_v they_o to_o other_o have_v a_o calling_n to_o dispense_v they_o to_o other_o also_o if_o any_o shall_v object_v that_o for_o along_o time_n under_o the_o reign_n of_o antichrist_n the_o holy_a and_o pure_a administration_n of_o baptism_n according_a to_o christ_n be_v lose_v so_o that_o believer_n have_v it_o not_o by_o way_n of_o sucession_n from_o baptize_v person_n and_o therefore_o their_o practice_n herein_o may_v seem_v faulty_a i_o answer_v first_o be_v not_o also_o the_o ordinance_n of_o preach_v the_o word_n in_o the_o simplcity_n and_o purity_n of_o it_o according_a to_o christ_n lose_v for_o a_o long_a time_n under_o the_o reign_n of_o antichrist_n and_o yet_o what_o wise_a and_o humble_a man_n will_v refuse_v to_o hear_v the_o gospel_n preach_v in_o simplcity_n and_o in_o a_o holy_a order_n from_o such_o who_o god_n have_v gift_v and_o call_v to_o dispense_v the_o same_o and_o sure_o those_o who_o god_n do_v call_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n those_o he_o also_o call_v to_o baptize_v believer_n second_o we_o find_v that_o when_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o the_o pure_a and_o holy_a administration_n of_o all_o god_n ordinance_n be_v lose_v under_o the_o idolatrous_a reign_n of_o manasseh_n which_o be_v long_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n in_o josiah_n his_o reign_n find_v the_o same_o and_o understand_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n therein_o they_o do_v not_o now_o lay_v aside_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n conceit_v that_o they_o must_v look_v for_o another_o moses_n by_o who_o the_o law_n be_v first_o give_v from_o whole_a hand_n they_o shall_v again_o receive_v the_o law_n and_o the_o ordinance_n appoint_v in_o it_o but_o without_o delay_n they_o read_v the_o book_n set_v themselves_o to_o seek_v god_n renew_v the_o covenant_n which_o be_v find_v in_o the_o book_n keep_v the_o passeover_n purge_v out_o all_o idolatry_n and_o reform_v all_o thing_n which_o concern_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n as_o we_o may_v read_v at_o large_a 2._o king_n 22_o and_o 23._o chapter_n and_o in_o nehemiah_n 8.1_o we_o find_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n after_o their_o return_n from_o captivity_n be_v gather_v together_o with_o one_o consent_n they_o require_v ezra_n to_o bring_v forth_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v command_v to_o israel_n they_o look_v not_o now_o for_o a_o new_a moses_n to_o give_v the_o law_n again_o to_o they_o but_o they_o look_v at_o the_o lord_n and_o look_v at_o his_o law_n which_o he_o have_v command_v to_o all_o israel_n and_o their_o only_a care_n be_v now_o to_o understand_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n in_o it_o and_o therefore_o they_o require_v ezra_n to_o read_v it_o and_o to_o give_v the_o sense_n of_o it_o and_o it_o be_v observable_a among_o other_o thing_n they_o find_v it_o write_v in_o the_o law_n that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n shall_v dwell_v in_o
