god_n never_o do_v appoint_v any_o man_n to_o be_v wicked_a yet_o he_o have_v of_o old_a foresee_a wickedness_n and_o also_o have_v appoint_v punishment_n for_o it_o question_n 2._o have_v not_o god_n

that_o many_o time_n those_o that_o have_v be_v wicked_a have_v become_v righteous_a and_o of_o bad_a have_v be_v make_v good_a and_o also_o such_o as_o have_v be_v righteous_a and_o good_a have_v

but_o to_o pass_v this_o and_o many_o such_o instance_n which_o may_v be_v add_v if_o i_o have_v time_n consider_v this_o if_o god_n have_v elect_v one_o sort_n of_o man_n to_o salvation_n from_o whence_o they_o can_v fall_v before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o reprobate_v another_o sort_n that_o can_v be_v save_v then_o first_o be_v not_o man_n ruin_n from_o the_o lord_n if_o his_o decree_n be_v thus_o make_v before_o man_n be_v make_v which_o so_o to_o affirm_v be_v to_o affirm_v that_o which_o the_o scripture_n deny_v and_o so_o to_o put_v the_o lie_n upon_o god_n second_o if_o that_o doctrine_n be_v true_a then_o to_o what_o end_n be_v preach_v and_o the_o like_a for_o if_o the_o elect_a be_v never_o preach_v unto_o they_o can_v miscarry_v for_o their_o

but_o of_o very_a little_a use_n unto_o the_o elect_n for_o they_o shall_v have_v have_v salvation_n if_o they_o have_v never_o hear_v of_o it_o and_o second_o it_o be_v no_o way_n beneficial_a to_o the_o reprobate_n because_o if_o he_o have_v all_o the_o preach_n unto_o in_o the_o world_n it_o will_v do_v he_o no_o good_a according_a to_o that_o opinion_n because_o he_o can_v never_o be_v

where_o god_n decree_v the_o end_n he_o decree_v the_o mean_n lead_v to_o the_o end_n second_o it_o make_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n of_o none_o effect_n for_o the_o elect_n can_v

and_o build_v man_n upon_o qualification_n and_o not_o upon_o promise_n for_o this_o reason_n because_o if_o there_o be_v but_o a_o very_a small_a number_n elect_v and_o they_o be_v not_o

which_o relate_v to_o or_o concern_v the_o gentile_a church_n but_o if_o it_o be_v only_o speak_v of_o the_o glory_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n unto_o the_o jew_n yet_o it_o will_v have_v speak_v much_o comfort_n and_o joy_n unto_o the_o gentile_a church_n in_o their_o tribulation_n because_o their_o blessing_n and_o rich_a promise_n be_v bind_v up_o as_o i_o may_v say_v among_o the_o

second_o because_o that_o the_o text_n say_v express_o of_o john_n that_o he_o shall_v prophesy_v again_o as_o before_o say_v and_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o that_o pprophecy_n be_v yet_o to_o be_v

that_o the_o ancient_a church_n in_o the_o low_a country_n can_v give_v a_o better_a account_n of_o it_o but_o what_o i_o have_v before_o say_v be_v sufficient_a to_o set_v a_o foot_n christ_n

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 age_n it_o be_v usual_a to_o bury_v the_o dead_a in_o sepulcher_n which_o be_v as_o our_o grave_n and_o that_o his_o body_n be_v cover_v be_v evident_a because_o when_o mary_n come_v early_o in_o the_o morning_n to_o the_o sepulchre_n although_o the_o stone_n be_v roll_v away_o from_o the_o mouth_n yet_o she_o be_v fain_o to_o stoop_v down_o to_o look_v into_o it_o to_o see_v whether_o she_o can_v see_v jesus_n imply_v that_o the_o earth_n cover_v he_o out_o of_o her_o sight_n but_o i_o need_v not_o trouble_v myself_o to_o prove_v that_o which_o be_v so_o clear_a for_o the_o scripture_n say_v although_o i_o suppose_v you_o have_v forget_v it_o that_o as_o jonah_n be_v three_o day_n and_o three_o night_n in_o the_o whale_n belly_n so_o shall_v the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v three_o day_n
