be_v baptize_v in_o which_o word_n diverse_a thing_n do_v offer_v themselves_o to_o be_v consider_v and_o that_o which_o i_o think_v first_o be_v necessary_a be_v the_o conjunction_n of_o these_o two_o namely_o faith_n and_o baptism_n he_o that_o shall_v believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v must_v be_v read_v without_o dis-junction_a and_o make_v but_o one_o proposition_n for_o our_o saviour_n christ_n do_v not_o here_o mean_a that_o he_o which_o be_v baptize_v but_o believe_v not_o or_o that_o he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v not_o baptize_v shall_v be_v save_v but_o both_o be_v here_o join_v together_o he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v between_o these_o two_o i_o mean_v faith_n and_o baptism_n christ_n do_v part_v the_o cause_n of_o salvation_n yet_o let_v none_o mistake_v i_o in_o that_o i_o say_v these_o be_v cause_n of_o salvation_n i_o do_v not_o say_v they_o be_v principal_a cause_n but_o instrumental_a adiuvant_fw-la secundary_a inferior_a cause_n which_o it_o please_v god_n to_o use_v and_o sanctify_v for_o the_o save_n of_o our_o soul_n i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o either_o both_o together_o or_o any_o one_o of_o they_o by_o itself_o be_v a_o cause_n absolute_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n so_o that_o he_o that_o want_v either_o one_o or_o both_o must_v be_v damn_v which_o in_o the_o latter_a member_n i_o shall_v more_o large_o declare_v but_o i_o say_v they_o be_v necessary_a in_o respect_n of_o our_o obedience_n and_o necessary_a because_o command_v and_o therefore_o if_o of_o contempt_n or_o gross_a or_o affect_a negligence_n we_o either_o refuse_v the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o we_o incur_v the_o displeasure_n of_o god_n and_o by_o that_o mean_v eternal_a damnation_n in_o this_o sense_n i_o call_v they_o cause_n and_o join_v they_o both_o together_o even_o as_o christ_n himself_o do_v he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v both_o of_o they_o be_v in_o their_o kind_n necessary_a of_o the_o one_o that_o be_v faith_n the_o apostle_n say_v without_o faith_n it_o be_v unpossible_a to_o please_v god_n 11.6_o hebr._n 11.6_o of_o the_o other_o that_o be_v baptism_n the_o apostle_n say_v 3.5_o titus_n 3.5_o it_o be_v

child_n be_v save_v the_o ark_n be_v not_o a_o sign_n only_o of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n but_o god_n use_v it_o as_o a_o instrumental_a cause_n to_o preserve_v noah_n in_o that_o great_a and_o universal_a deluge_n and_o to_o it_o be_v baptism_n compare_v the_o ancient_a father_n ground_v themselves_o upon_o that_o and_o the_o like_a place_n do_v speak_v as_o become_v they_o reverent_o resemble_v baptism_n to_o the_o red-sea_n in_o which_o pharaoh_n that_o be_v the_o devil_n with_o all_o his_o work_n be_v drown_v and_o the_o israelite_n that_o be_v the_o true_a christian_n regenerate_v be_v deliver_v from_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n to_o the_o pool_n of_o bethesda_n into_o which_o the_o angel_n descend_v at_o a_o certain_a time_n and_o stir_v the_o water_n and_o who_o first_o descend_v there-into_a be_v cure_v of_o his_o infirmity_n i_o say_v they_o not_o only_o resemble_v it_o but_o prefer_v it_o before_o this_o water_n for_o that_o water_n do_v only_o cure_v the_o body_n but_o this_o the_o soul_n in_o this_o water_n but_o one_o can_v be_v cure_v at_o one_o time_n there_o many_o be_v cure_v into_o that_o water_n the_o angel_n descend_v at_o a_o certain_a

a_o fountain_n open_v to_o the_o house_n of_o david_n and_o to_o the_o house_n of_o jerusalem_n for_o sin_n and_o for_o uncleanness_n in_o that_o water_n god_n do_v work_v by_o the_o ministry_n of_o a_o angel_n here_o he_o work_v by_o the_o ministry_n of_o sinful_a man_n yet_o be_v the_o effect_n wonderful_a neither_o do_v our_o humility_n derogate_v from_o the_o power_n and_o operation_n of_o it_o i_o may_v repeat_v many_o other_o their_o similitude_n to_o this_o purpose_n many_o speech_n they_o have_v which_o some_o think_v to_o be_v hyperbolical_a and_o beyond_o the_o truth_n but_o indeed_o they_o be_v no_o more_o than_o the_o scripture_n teach_v a_o man_n may_v as_o well_o ascribe_v too_o little_a as_o too_o much_o to_o the_o sacrament_n and_o as_o the_o papist_n have_v err_v in_o superstition_n so_o some_o perhaps_o in_o profaneness_n to_o which_o these_o our_o time_n do_v too_o much_o incline_v a_o mean_a may_v be_v hold_v between_o both_o that_o be_v to_o think_v of_o these_o as_o they_o be_v in_o effect_n cause_n and_o instrument_n by_o which_o christ_n do_v derive_v into_o our_o soul_n the_o efficacy_n of_o his_o precious_a blood_n he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v shall_v be_v save_v and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n i_o think_v meet_v to_o be_v observe_v i_o mean_v the_o conjunction_n of_o these_o two_o faith_n and_o baptism_n but_o be_v nothing_o else_o will_n some_o say_v require_v to_o salvation_n be_v it_o sufficient_a to_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v will_v these_o two_o without_o good-worke_n bring_v they_o that_o be_v come_v to_o year_n of_o discretion_n to_o heaven_n god_n forbid_v any_o shall_v think_v so_o yet_o some_o in_o former_a time_n have_v be_v of_o that_o mind_n who_o hold_v that_o faith_n without_o work_n be_v sufficient_a to_o salvation_n and_o against_o that_o heresy_n saint_n augustine_n have_v write_v a_o whole_a book_n very_o learned_o our_o adversary_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v ascribe_v unto_o we_o this_o error_n and_o say_v that_o we_o have_v reviue_v this_o heresy_n wherein_o their_o conscience_n tell_v they_o they_o do_v we_o wrong_n it_o may_v be_v you_o have_v hear_v some_o say_v that_o faith_n only_o be_v necessary_a to_o justification_n and_o that_o be_v very_o true_a but_o do_v you_o ever_o hear_v any_o say_v that_o only_a faith_n be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n i_o suppose_v there_o be_v never_o any_o so_o mad_a as_o once_o to_o think_v it_o bellarmine_n in_o this_o point_n do_v we_o right_o who_o say_v that_o both_o they_o and_o we_o do_v hold_v a_o necessity_n of_o work_n though_o in_o a_o diverse_a sense_n they_o hold_v in_o work_n necessitatem_fw-la efficientiae_fw-la a_o necessity_n of_o the_o efficacy_n of_o work_n we_o hold_v necessitatem_fw-la praesentiae_fw-la a_o necessity_n of_o the_o presence_n of_o work_n in_o plain_a term_n the_o question_n between_o we_o be_v not_o of_o the_o necessity_n of_o work_n but_o of_o the_o merit_n and_o dignity_n of_o work_n in_o which_o there_o be_v some_o difference_n between_o we_o but_o the_o necessity_n of_o work_n be_v hold_v of_o both_o and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o need_n to_o refuse_v the_o word_n he_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v in_o the_o wrong_n which_o take_v away_o the_o necessity_n of_o a_o virtuous_a life_n it_o rather_o require_v a_o real_a refutation_n for_o although_o it_o be_v confess_v on_o both_o side_n i_o mean_v of_o protestant_n and_o papist_n that_o good_a work_n be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n yet_o in_o either_o religion_n many_o there_o be_v who_o overthrow_n the_o confession_n of_o their_o faith_n with_o the_o notorious_a sin_n of_o their_o life_n profess_v they_o know_v god_n but_o deny_v he_o with_o their_o work_n 1.16_o tit._n 1.16_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v and_o that_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o indirect_a and_o implicit_a atheism_n how_o true_a this_o be_v the_o time_n do_v testify_v and_o i_o shall_v easy_o make_v know_v yet_o not_o without_o grief_n as_o one_o that_o take_v small_a delight_n in_o this_o discourse_n and_o yet_o not_o without_o profit_n for_o i_o see_v a_o profitable_a use_n of_o it_o i_o will_v begin_v then_o with_o our_o adversary_n who_o in_o contention_n do_v justify_v themselves_o and_o lay_v heavy_a imputation_n upon_o other_o but_o as_o the_o old_a say_n be_v he_o that_o condemn_v another_o ought_v not_o himself_o to_o be_v faulty_a let_v we_o consider_v then_o their_o demeanour_n bellarmine_n among_o other_o note_n of_o the_o church_n say_v that_o sanctitas_fw-la doctrinae_fw-la pureness_n of_o
