wherein_o it_o be_v minister_v to_o any_o as_o neither_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o simple_a word_n the_o seed_n lie_v so_o long_o hide_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o hearer_n till_o that_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o faith_n wrought_v sometime_o late_a and_o sometime_o flower_n show_v itself_o it_o fructifi_v 112._o question_n baptism_n therefore_o do_v not_o abolish_v only_a sin_n past_a answer_n yea_o rather_o the_o fruit_n of_o baptism_n be_v spread_v forth_o through_o out_o the_o whole_a life_n of_o believer_n for_o that_o same_o gross_a error_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o many_o defer_v baptism_n until_o death_n which_o be_v a_o great_a wonder_n that_o it_o be_v not_o more_o vehement_o handle_v of_o learned_a bishop_n 113._o question_n do_v thou_o not_o think_v that_o original_a sin_n be_v take_v away_o by_o baptism_n answer_n sure_o i_o think_v that_o it_o be_v take_v away_o concern_v the_o guiltiness_n so_o that_o faith_n be_v present_a but_o the_o vice_n itself_o although_o it_o die_v by_o little_a and_o little_a in_o the_o believer_n yet_o notwithstanding_o in_o deed_n remain_v and_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v sin_n and_o be_v so_o call_v because_o whatsoever_o resist_v the_o will_n and_o spirit_n of_o god_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v vicious_a 114._o question_n but_o be_v this_o same_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n a_o instrument_n altogether_o and_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o obtain_v salvation_n in_o christ_n answer_n no_o not_o so_o question_n and_o yet_o not_o only_o the_o late_a writer_n but_o also_o many_o ancient_a father_n have_v think_v it_o so_o far_o forth_o at_o the_o least_o necessary_a that_o they_o have_v esteem_v those_o destitute_v of_o the_o light_n of_o the_o life_n of_o heaven_n which_o be_v not_o lighten_v with_o that_o same_o outward_a baptism_n of_o the_o church_n answer_n concern_v this_o opinion_n from_o whence_o flow_v that_o same_o shameful_a error_n of_o the_o clinic_n and_o baptism_n of_o midwife_n we_o shall_v see_v afterwards_o now_o i_o say_v that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n be_v thus_o far_o necessary_a that_o he_o that_o neglect_v it_o do_v also_o depryve_v himself_o as_o much_o as_o be_v in_o he_o of_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n the_o which_o sin_n notwithstanding_o as_o all_o other_o may_v be_v take_v away_o by_o true_a repentance_n but_o that_o he_o can_v not_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o contemner_n of_o baptism_n who_o through_o no_o negligence_n of_o he_o much_o less_o fault_n do_v not_o obtain_v baptism_n in_o that_o order_n which_o be_v institute_v in_o the_o church_n 115._o question_n but_o do_v thou_o think_v that_o the_o baptism_n administer_v by_o john_n and_o afterwards_o of_o the_o apostle_n by_o the_o commandment_n of_o christ_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o answer_n i_o will_v wil_o that_o this_o question_n be_v omit_v as_o at_o this_o day_n unprofitable_a notwithstanding_o because_o it_o make_v for_o the_o clear_a interpretation_n of_o certain_a place_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o from_o thence_o the_o anabaptist_n seek_v somewhat_o whereunder_o to_o shroud_v their_o pestilent_a opinion_n i_o refuse_v not_o also_o somewhat_o to_o entreat_v of_o this_o thing_n when_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o confutation_n of_o the_o contrary_a opinion_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o say_v that_o in_o very_a deed_n the_o baptism_n first_o minister_v of_o john_n and_o afterward_o by_o the_o commandment_n of_o christ_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o albeit_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v so_o much_o more_o plentiful_o perform_v in_o that_o apostolical_a baptism_n then_o in_o that_o of_o johns_n as_o the_o doctrine_n be_v more_o plain_a of_o the_o apostle_n than_o the_o doctrine_n of_o john_n and_o yet_o in_o very_a deed_n the_o same_o 116._o question_n now_o i_o will_v have_v certain_a question_n pertain_v unto_o this_o matter_n distinct_o set_v forth_o unto_o i_o and_o first_o who_o thou_o think_v fit_a to_o be_v baptize_v fot_o there_o be_v who_o think_v that_o all_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v without_o difference_n so_o they_o resist_v it_o not_o answer_n this_o foul_a error_n flow_v out_o of_o two_o fountain_n for_o they_o think_v that_o the_o begin_n of_o our_o salvation_n be_v from_o baptism_n and_o further_o that_o baptism_n save_v we_o even_o by_o the_o work_n wrought_v as_o they_o speak_v 117._o question_n other_o think_v that_o those_o only_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v that_o be_v of_o year_n of_o discretion_n and_o be_v indeed_o such_o as_o make_v confession_n of_o a_o true_a faith_n by_o the_o example_n of_o the_o eunuch_n act_n 8._o 37._o answer_n the_o error_n of_o these_o man_n spring_v from_o thence_o that_o they_o think_v baptism_n to_o be_v minister_v in_o vain_a unless_o faith_n present_o go_v before_o baptism_n question_n what_o have_v thou_o not_o say_v before_o that_o the_o thing_n signify_v in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v lay_v hold_v upon_o by_o the_o only_a hand_n of_o faith_n answer_n so_o it_o be_v but_o that_o faith_n may_v follow_v the_o sacrament_n yea_o though_o it_o be_v minister_v many_o year_n before_o be_v no_o more_o absurd_a then_o if_o i_o shall_v say_v that_o which_o we_o think_v also_o we_o prove_v daily_o to_o wit_n that_o it_o oftentimes_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v contemn_v when_o they_o be_v speak_v unto_o we_o that_o be_v mark_v they_o begin_v to_o profit_v we_o yea_o many_o year_n after_o and_o sometime_o in_o the_o very_a last_o breath_n of_o our_o life_n 118._o question_n who_o then_o think_v thou_o meet_v to_o be_v baptize_v answer_n all_o they_o who_o can_v right_o show_v the_o conveyance_n of_o the_o covenaunt_n for_o the_o seal_v whereof_o baptism_n be_v institute_v 119._o question_n but_o who_o do_v right_o show_v they_o answer_n they_o who_o if_o they_o be_v grow_v in_o year_n testify_v their_o consent_n question_n will_v thou_o not_o then_o admit_v any_o of_o year_n of_o discretion_n unless_o they_o plain_o profess_v a_o right_a faith_n answer_n none_o in_o deed_n for_o what_o else_o shall_v i_o probable_o believe_v that_o i_o can_v seal_v in_o they_o 120._o question_n to_o what_o end_n then_o will_v thou_o admit_v child_n answer_n neither_o will_v i_o admit_v all_o infant_n for_o neither_o will_v i_o receive_v the_o child_n of_o the_o turk_n nor_o of_o the_o jew_n question_n why_o so_o answer_n because_o they_o be_v not_o comprehend_v in_o the_o table_n of_o the_o covenant_n question_n but_o they_o may_v be_v instruct_v in_o christianity_n answer_n why_o let_v they_o be_v instruct_v or_o become_v catechiste_n and_o then_o at_o length_n let_v they_o be_v baptize_v 121._o question_n i_o can_v easy_o grant_v this_o unto_o thou_o concern_v the_o turk_n child_n and_o the_o child_n of_o all_o those_o which_o be_v never_o comprehend_v in_o the_o covenaunt_n but_o will_v thou_o reckon_v the_o jew_n with_o these_o answer_n yea_o but_o after_o a_o unlike_a manner_n for_o they_o indeed_o be_v never_o comprehend_v in_o the_o covenaunt_n but_o now_o the_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n retect_v the_o mediator_n be_v fall_v from_o the_o covenaunt_n the_o gentile_n be_v engraft_v in_o their_o place_n 122._o question_n but_o be_v it_o sufficient_a as_o thou_o think_v to_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o faithful_a that_o none_o be_v reject_v and_o put_v off_o from_o baptism_n answer_n so_o i_o think_v for_o the_o word_n of_o the_o covenaunt_n be_v plain_a i_o will_v be_v thy_o god_n 7._o gen._n 17._o 7._o and_o the_o god_n of_o thy_o seed_n now_o by_o the_o name_n of_o seed_n the_o apostle_n teach_v that_o all_o the_o gentile_n be_v contain_v follow_v the_o faith_n of_o abraham_n gal._n 3._o 8._o and_o the_o same_o apostle_n also_o plain_o say_v that_o those_o child_n be_v

comprehension_n in_o the_o covenaunt_n whereby_o those_o that_o be_v holy_a be_v discern_v from_o those_o that_o be_v profane_a 123._o question_n but_o the_o example_n of_o esau_n do_v declare_v and_o also_o daily_a experience_n do_v confirm_v it_o that_o many_o beget_v also_o even_o of_o those_o that_o be_v most_o holy_a do_v nothing_o at_o all_o belong_v unto_o the_o covenaunt_n answer_n many_o also_o of_o those_o that_o be_v grow_v in_o year_n profess_v faith_n with_o their_o mouth_n be_v hypocrite_n but_o those_o same_o particular_a judgement_n be_v to_o be_v leave_v unto_o god_n but_o that_o we_o shall_v general_o hope_v well_o of_o all_o those_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o faithful_a both_o the_o indefinite_a form_n of_o the_o covenaunt_n do_v command_v we_o and_o love_n do_v warn_v us._n 124._o question_n but_o without_o faith_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v god_n

be_o altogether_o persuade_v so_o for_o the_o self_n same_o christ_n yea_o the_o same_o whole_a christ_n both_o in_o his_o audible_a word_n and_o also_o in_o his_o visible_a word_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v set_v forth_o to_o the_o self_n same_o end_n 68_o question_n i_o have_v almost_o quite_o forget_v that_o which_o i_o will_v glad_o have_v ask_v of_o thou_o to_o wit_n how_o it_o be_v that_o saint_n augustine_n write_v as_o thou_o have_v cite_v that_o the_o sacrament_n can_v work_v no_o such_o astonishment_n as_o miraculous_a thing_n do_v if_o that_o same_o mystery_n of_o the_o unite_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n together_o be_v so_o wonderful_a answer_n i_o have_v answer_v unto_o that_o already_o that_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o ask_v of_o the_o sacrament_n themselves_o another_o thing_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o god_n do_v work_v by_o the_o use_n of_o they_o augustine_n therefore_o do_v very_o well_o forbid_v whether_o we_o respect_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o sacrament_n or_o the_o sacrament_n themselves_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v number_v amongst_o miracle_n because_o it_o be_v not_o strange_a neither_o also_o against_o the_o order_n of_o natural_a thing_n that_o some_o thing_n for_o the_o analogy_n and_o proportion_n and_o also_o by_o the_o covenaunt_n of_o man_n shall_v be_v use_v for_o the_o signify_v of_o some_o thing_n altogether_o differ_v from_o the_o nature_n thereof_o for_o i_o beseech_v thou_o what_o miracle_n be_v it_o that_o the_o betrthe_v of_o marriage_n to_o come_v shall_v be_v signify_v by_o a_o ring_n and_o put_v into_o possession_n of_o house_n shall_v not_o only_o be_v signify_v by_o the_o deliver_v of_o a_o key_n but_o also_o confirm_v there_o be_v the_o like_a reason_n altogether_o to_o be_v have_v of_o the_o sacrament_n although_o not_o particular_o yet_o general_o albeit_o those_o thing_n which_o god_n work_v in_o we_o if_o we_o right_o use_v the_o sacramence_v do_v exceed_v the_o understanding_n even_o of_o the_o very_a angel_n themselves_o 69._o question_n but_o that_o which_o thou_o have_v speak_v of_o our_o sacrament_n do_v thou_o also_o think_v of_o those_o same_o old_a sacrament_n answer_n i_o say_v both_o twain_o in_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v as_o i_o may_v say_v of_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o sacrament_n itself_o do_v altogether_o agree_v but_o they_o differ_v in_o certain_a circumstance_n 70._o question_n show_v i_o therefore_o how_o they_o do_v agree_v answer_n first_o of_o all_o they_o agree_v in_o the_o efficient_a cause_n for_o christ_n our_o only_a lawgiver_n appoint_v both_o these_o and_o they_o further_o they_o agree_v in_o the_o inward_a thing_n itself_o for_o christ_n be_v that_o same_o tree_n of_o life_n in_o paradise_n that_o same_o lamb_n slay_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n that_o same_o paschall_n of_o the_o father_n take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n that_o same_o spiritual_a rock_n that_o same_o meat_n and_o drink_v of_o the_o father_n which_o thing_n also_o be_v to_o be_v think_v of_o those_o same_o type_n and_o figure_n and_o to_o be_v short_a of_o all_o the_o old_a sacrament_n for_o very_o ryght_o and_o truelye_o say_v augustine_n in_o the_o six_o and_o twenty_o treatise_n upon_o john_n that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o father_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o sign_n be_v diverse_a from_o we_o but_o concern_v the_o signification_n they_o be_v alike_o they_o agree_v also_o in_o the_o word_n concern_v the_o substance_n albeit_o the_o voice_n be_v not_o the_o same_o for_o there_o be_v signify_v in_o the_o word_n of_o institution_n that_o christ_n and_o his_o gift_n be_v offer_v unto_o we_o in_o either_o to_o the_o father_n as_o to_o come_v but_o to_o we_o which_o come_v already_o moreover_o in_o both_o two_o there_o be_v find_v the_o self_n same_o instrument_n of_o apply_v he_o and_o the_o same_o faith_n in_o diverse_a sign_n as_o the_o same_o augustine_n say_v in_o his_o 45._o treatise_n upon_o john_n also_o the_o self_n same_o end_n and_o effect_n be_v in_o both_o of_o they_o for_o circumcision_n be_v both_o the_o sign_n and_o the_o

71._o question_n but_o in_o what_o thing_n differ_v they_o answer_n first_o they_o differ_v in_o the_o sign_n by_o which_o i_o understande_v the_o sacramental_a rite_n themselves_o which_o we_o have_v more_o spiritual_a &_o few_o &_o less_o laboursome_a further_o in_o the_o playnesse_n of_o the_o word_n which_o in_o we_o be_v much_o more_o clear_a whereupon_o also_o grow_v another_o difference_n in_o the_o very_a measure_n of_o the_o efficacy_n and_o operation_n itself_o for_o the_o more_o plain_a and_o manifest_v the_o word_n be_v the_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o be_v move_v and_o therefore_o the_o more_o effectual_a aught_o our_o faith_n to_o be_v whereto_o also_o belong_v the_o word_n of_o the_o selfsame_a augustine_n that_o our_o sacrament_n be_v few_o easy_a more_o significant_a and_o more_o full_a of_o majesty_n to_o which_o also_o that_o may_v be_v add_v that_o these_o differ_v in_o this_o because_o they_o be_v institute_v only_o until_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n but_o we_o shall_v take_v no_o end_n but_o with_o the_o world_n 72._o question_n if_o it_o be_v so_o as_o thou_o say_v it_o appear_v unto_o i_o that_o the_o state_n of_o the_o father_n be_v mighty_a in_o two_o great_a thing_n than_o we_o first_o because_o they_o have_v more_o then_o because_o they_o have_v more_o significant_a help_n of_o faith_n than_o we_o answer_n but_o i_o pray_v thou_o whether_n weakness_n of_o the_o body_n will_v thou_o judge_v to_o be_v great_a his_o that_o have_v need_n of_o two_o stay_v to_o uphold_v his_o go_n or_o his_o which_z lean_v upon_o one_o staff_n do_v easy_o

father_n for_o the_o multitude_n of_o sacrament_n show_v not_o that_o their_o condition_n be_v the_o better_a but_o contrariwise_o that_o it_o be_v worse_a for_o neither_o shall_v our_o faith_n if_o it_o be_v strong_a enough_o of_o itself_o need_v the_o sacrament_n 73._o question_n but_o certain_o it_o seem_v that_o there_o be_v in_o those_o sacrament_n a_o more_o plain_a analogy_n or_o proportion_n of_o the_o sign_n with_o the_o thing_n signify_v for_o in_o very_a deed_n the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o those_o slay_a sacrifice_n do_v more_o plain_o represent_v the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n crucify_v than_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o manna_n fall_v down_o from_o heaven_n do_v after_o a_o sort_n more_o lively_o set_v before_o our_o eye_n the_o incarnation_n of_o the_o word_n also_o the_o water_n flow_v out_o of_o the_o open_a rock_n the_o blood_n of_o christ_n flow_v out_o of_o his_o wound_a side_n than_o the_o break_n of_o bread_n &_o the_o pour_v out_o of_o wine_n into_o the_o cup._n answer_n in_o good_a sooth_n those_o not_o yet_o do_v but_o to_o be_v do_v aught_o to_o be_v represent_v too_o the_o father_n by_o a_o more_o gross_a proportion_n then_o unto_o we_o because_o that_o it_o be_v far_o hard_a to_o believe_v thing_n to_o come_v than_o already_o do_v and_o witness_v by_o a_o sure_a and_o plain_a history_n therefore_o as_o thou_o have_v say_v those_o sign_n do_v signify_v the_o thing_n to_o come_v more_o gross_o &_o palpable_o but_o in_o this_o thou_o be_v special_o deceive_v that_o thou_o think_v the_o more_o gross_a the_o analogy_n or_o proportion_n be_v that_o the_o more_o significant_a it_o be_v question_n why_o so_o answer_n because_o the_o thing_n signify_v by_o the_o sacrament_n be_v heavenly_a which_o flesh_n and_o blood_n teach_v not_o but_o that_o same_o only_a master_n of_o truth_n the_o holy_a ghost_n whereupon_o all_o believer_n be_v say_v by_o esay_n and_o by_o christ_n himself_o 5._o esay_n 5._o 14._o john_n 6._o

whereto_o it_o tend_v question_n will_v thou_o be_v so_o good_a as_o to_o set_v down_o some_o similitude_n whereby_o i_o may_v more_o full_o understand_v what_o this_o matter_n mean_v answer_n very_o
