〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d both_o signify_v to_o dip_v or_o plunge_v a_o thing_n in_o water_n or_o some_o other_o liquid_a substance_n and_o because_o the_o end_n of_o this_o dip_v or_o plunge_v be_v sometime_o to_o

their_o several_a end_n and_o the_o end_n of_o sacrament_n and_o these_o mystery_n be_v distinct_a and_o different_a from_o the_o end_n of_o other_o rite_n therefore_o in_o strict_a sense_n a_o

that_o which_o they_o represent_v to_o the_o sense_n the_o reason_n why_o they_o be_v add_v be_v the_o great_a solemnity_n thus_o the_o sacrament_n be_v religious_a rite_n add_v to_o the_o covenant_n

be_v not_o natural_a but_o from_o institution_n in_o this_o respect_n they_o usual_o make_v two_o material_a part_n of_o a_o sacrament_n 1._o a_o outward_a sensible_a sign_n 2._o a_o inward_a hide_a spiritual_a thing_n signify_v so_o that_o the_o thing_n and_o action_n which_o be_v rite_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v 1._o in_o themselves_o 2._o in_o their_o significative_a nature_n as_o sign_n these_o sacramental_a rite_n be_v annex_v to_o the_o covenant_n that_o it_o may_v be_v make_v and_o renew_v with_o the_o great_a solemnity_n thus_o circumcision_n be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o sign_n add_v

and_o from_o the_o multiplication_n of_o these_o in_o performance_n of_o divine_a service_n spring_v so_o many_o superstition_n when_o such_o thing_n as_o god_n never_o appoint_v or_o require_v at_o our_o hand_n be_v conceit_v to_o be_v holy_a or_o necessary_a or_o of_o a_o sanctify_a power_n therefore_o it_o concern_v we_o all_o to_o consider_v what_o rite_n be_v of_o divine_a institution_n whether_o they_o be_v ceremony_n of_o the_o old_a or_o new_a testament_n for_o god_n institute_v rite_n of_o old_a as_o well_o as_o in_o these_o latter_a time_n of_o the_o gospel_n 2._o what_o rite_n institute_v by_o he_o be_v now_o in_o force_n so_o as_o that_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o the_o observation_n of_o they_o by_o reason_n of_o divine_a institution_n and_o command_n they_o be_v positive_a

but_o not_o of_o themselves_o they_o conduce_v to_o our_o sanctification_n 3._o the_o end_n of_o a_o sacrament_n be_v to_o confirm_v the_o covenant_n in_o christ_n make_v between_o god_n and_o man_n this_o presuppose_v 1._o the_o death_n and_o redemption_n by_o christ_n as_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o covenant_n for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o redemption_n there_o be_v no_o promise_n of_o life_n unto_o sinful_a man_n 2._o a_o covenant_n and_o this_o covenant_n presuppose_v a_o law_n wherein_o god_n command_v man_n to_o repent_v and_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o upon_o this_o repentance_n and_o faith_n promise_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o eternal_a happiness_n and_o because_o god_n will_v deal_v with_o man_n as_o with_o a_o rational_a free_a creature_n he_o propose_v the_o

that_o he_o will_v believe_v and_o repent_v than_o this_o covenant_n be_v make_v the_o redemption_n by_o christ_n the_o covenant_n in_o itself_o and_o the_o make_n of_o the_o covenant_n presuppose_a the_o sacrament_n be_v add_v that_o by_o it_o the_o covenant_n may_v be_v solemn_o confirm_v both_o on_o god_n part_n and_o man_n as_o though_o they_o put_v to_o it_o their_o hand_n and_o seal_n and_o so_o mutual_o engage_v themselves_o one_o unto_o another_o thus_o circumcision_n which_o be_v a_o sacrament_n be_v say_v to_o be_v not_o only_o a_o sign_n but_o a_o seal_n because_o as_o a_o seal_n be_v put_v to_o a_o indenture_n or_o other_o evidence_n and_o particular_o to_o league_n to_o confirm_v they_o so_o a_o sacrament_n be_v add_v to_o this_o covenant_n for_o confirmation_n so_o that_o
