than_o a_o pledge_n and_o earnest_n of_o what_o be_v do_v in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n ever_o since_o though_o not_o miraculous_o and_o visible_o yet_o real_o and_o effectual_o the_o gift_n of_o illumination_n and_o justification_n be_v therein_o confer_v by_o the_o wash_n of_o regeneration_n and_o renew_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o three_o and_o last_o miraculous_a effect_n accompany_v our_o saviour_n baptism_n be_v a_o voice_n from_o heaven_n proclaim_v he_o in_o the_o audience_n of_o the_o bystander_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o there_o come_v a_o voice_n from_o heaven_n which_o say_v thou_o be_v my_o belove_a son_n in_o who_o i_o be_o well_o please_v here_o i_o doubt_v not_o to_o affirm_v that_o as_o christ_n in_o his_o baptism_n be_v justify_v in_o or_o by_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o apostle_n with_o reference_n 3.16_o 1_o tim._n 3.16_o as_o be_v think_v to_o this_o testimony_n speak_v that_o be_v as_o our_o saviour_n at_o his_o baptism_n be_v mighty_o declare_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o be_v the_o true_a and_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n by_o generation_n so_o we_o at_o our_o baptism_n be_v admit_v and_o receive_v as_o the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o adoption_n i_o suppose_v it_o altogether_o needless_a for_o i_o to_o bring_v argument_n to_o prove_v this_o every_o one_o that_o have_v but_o learned_a the_o entrance_n into_o his_o catechism_n profess_v that_o in_o his_o baptism_n he_o be_v make_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n a_o child_n of_o god_n and_o a_o inheritor_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o upon_o this_o account_n it_o be_v that_o the_o church_n upon_o the_o confer_v of_o baptism_n give_v public_a and_o solemn_a thanks_o to_o god_n in_o those_o word_n mention_v before_o express_v not_o only_o the_o gift_n of_o regeneration_n but_o that_o also_o of_o filiation_n or_o adoption_n we_o yield_v thou_o hearty_a thanks_o most_o merciful_a father_n that_o it_o have_v please_v thou_o to_o regenerate_v this_o infant_n by_o thy_o holy_a spirit_n to_o receive_v he_o for_o thy_o own_o child_n by_o adoption_n and_o to_o incorporate_v he_o into_o thy_o holy_a church_n and_o so_o have_v do_v with_o those_o miraculous_a event_n that_o attend_v our_o saviour_n baptism_n which_o be_v the_o open_n of_o heaven_n the_o descent_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o a_o voice_n hear_v from_o heaven_n proclaim_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o have_v parallel_v these_o miraculous_a event_n with_o those_o real_a effect_n that_o do_v still_o accompany_v that_o sacracrament_n of_o christ_n own_o institution_n and_o according_a to_o his_o promise_n shall_v do_v so_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n ult_n mat._n 28._o ult_n and_o have_v show_v that_o therein_o heaven_n be_v open_v the_o holy_a ghost_n confer_v and_o the_o party_n baptize_v make_v the_o child_n of_o god_n by_o adoption_n i_o come_v now_o unto_o the_o three_o particular_a remarkable_a in_o this_o story_n observable_a particular_a observable_a and_o that_o be_v the_o mean_n or_o instrumental_a cause_n that_o procure_v the_o open_n of_o the_o heaven_n the_o descent_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o voice_n that_o proclaim_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n which_o be_v as_o be_v here_o observe_v the_o prayer_n of_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n be_v baptize_v and_o pray_v it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o heaven_n be_v open_v etc._n etc._n that_o so_o great_a thing_n as_o these_o be_v procure_v by_o so_o powerful_a a_o mean_n as_o the_o intercession_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n we_o need_v not_o wonder_v so_o need_v we_o not_o doubt_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o reality_n of_o those_o grace_n confer_v upon_o we_o at_o our_o baptism_n since_o they_o be_v procure_v and_o obtain_v by_o the_o very_a same_o mean_n viz._n by_o the_o mediation_n and_o intercession_n of_o our_o faithful_a and_o merciful_a highpriest_n 7.25_o heb._n 7.25_o who_o ever_o live_v to_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o and_o who_o have_v promise_v to_o accompany_v the_o use_n even_o of_o this_o very_a ordinance_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n go_v and_o teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o etc._n etc._n and_o lo_o i_o be_o with_o you_o even_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n 20._o mat._n 28.19_o 20._o hence_o we_o learn_v moreover_o that_o solemn_a prayer_n and_o supplication_n ought_v always_o to_o be_v join_v with_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n jesus_n be_v baptize_v and_o pray_v the_o heaven_n be_v open_v and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n descend_v etc._n etc._n so_o now_o in_o the_o use_n of_o this_o sacrament_n the_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n unite_v to_o the_o intercession_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o powerful_a and_o effectual_a mean_n of_o epen_v heaven_n and_o of_o bring_v down_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o sense_n above_o mention_v upon_o the_o person_n baptize_v again_o from_o hence_o it_o be_v obvious_a to_o observe_v how_o the_o ritual_a part_n of_o christianity_n 1._o the_o rite_n and_o external_a ceremony_n enjoin_v on_o god_n part_n be_v always_o to_o be_v accompany_v with_o something_o moral_a on_o we_o the_o rite_n of_o baptism_n be_v then_o effectual_a when_o it_o be_v right_o perform_v that_o be_v when_o the_o administration_n of_o it_o be_v accompany_v with_o solemn_a prayer_n and_o supplication_n though_o the_o grace_n confer_v in_o baptism_n be_v the_o free_a gift_n of_o god_n yet_o something_o be_v require_v on_o our_o part_n for_o the_o procure_n of_o it_o not_o that_o we_o shall_v glory_v or_o attribute_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o merit_n of_o our_o own_o work_n but_o that_o we_o may_v value_v and_o prize_v the_o grace_n the_o more_o be_v that_o be_v not_o obtain_v exit_fw-la opere_fw-la operato_fw-la as_o some_o affirm_v by_o the_o mere_a do_v of_o the_o thing_n how_o careless_o and_o supine_o soever_o but_o by_o careful_a and_o conscientious_a use_v therewithal_o the_o mean_n of_o god_n own_o appoint_v and_o hallow_v jesus_n himself_o be_v baptize_v and_o pray_v the_o heaven_n be_v open_v etc._n etc._n so_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o church_n through_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o faithful_a join_v with_o the_o intercession_n of_o christ_n become_v effectual_a to_o the_o very_a same_o purpose_n as_o have_v be_v show_v in_o the_o precede_a discourse_n last_o we_o may_v from_o hence_o rest_v satisfy_v that_o the_o sacrament_n institute_v by_o christ_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v not_o mera_fw-fr &_o nuda_fw-la symbola_fw-la
