whereas_o you_o say_v that_o christ_n go_v up_o into_o the_o mountain_n and_o yet_o not_o cover_v in_o the_o earth_n and_o so_o he_o go_v into_o the_o water_n and_o yet_o not_o cover_v with_o it_o answ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v baptise_a in_o the_o mountain_n but_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o be_v baptise_a in_o the_o water_n and_o so_o it_o be_v say_v of_o philip_n and_o the_o eunuch_n but_o it_o will_v he_o grant_v that_o christ_n may_v go_v many_o time_n into_o the_o water_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v cover_v in_o it_o but_o it_o can_v be_v imagine_v that_o john_n can_v dip_v or_o plunge_v or_o over-whelm_a or_o sink_v as_o the_o word_n baptizo_fw-la will_v render_v it_o christ_n into_o the_o water_n and_o yet_o christ_n not_o cover_v in_o water_n and_o beside_o all_o this_o the_o proper_a signification_n of_o baptism_n be_v a_o burial_n and_o resurrection_n as_o i_o before_o have_v show_v yet_o notwithstanding_o i_o shall_v give_v a_o few_o reason_n here_o to_o prove_v that_o baptism_n be_v dip_v or_o plunge_v and_o the_o first_o reason_n be_v reas_n 1._o because_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d or_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d render_v no_o other_o thing_n as_o a_o proper_a derivation_n but_o mergo_fw-la or_o immergo_fw-la which_o be_v to_o dip_v to_o plunge_v to_o overwhelm_v to_o thrust_v into_o the_o water_n or_o to_o sink_v and_o such_o like_a word_n as_o these_o which_o show_v that_o the_o person_n baptise_a be_v to_o be_v cover_v in_o water_n reas_n 2._o second_o christ_n be_v so_o baptize_v namely_o plunge_v as_o you_o have_v affirm_v in_o your_o former_a book_n and_o we_o be_v to_o follow_v his_o example_n therefore_o be_v to_o be_v cover_v as_o christ_n be_v in_o baptism_n reas_n 3._o and_o three_o it_o signify_v a_o burial_n as_o say_v the_o apostle_n paul_n rom._n 2.4_o col._n 2.12_o and_o a_o man_n can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v bury_v unless_o he_o be_v cover_v with_o earth_n or_o the_o like_a object_n and_o this_o bring_v i_o to_o the_o answer_n of_o your_o objection_n p._n 7._o where_o you_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v bury_v in_o a_o rock_n and_o have_v no_o earth_n to_o cover_v he_o and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v say_v you_o that_o person_n baptize_v must_v be_v cover_v in_o the_o water_n answ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v cover_v be_v clear_a for_o his_o body_n be_v put_v into_o a_o new_a sepulchre_n and_o a_o stone_n roll_v against_o the_o door_n or_o mouth_n of_o the_o sepulchre_n for_o in_o that_o
