that_o sound_a part_n of_o it_o whereof_o we_o boast_v ourselves_o member_n and_o the_o very_a reason_n and_o design_n of_o the_o institution_n itself_o to_o the_o no_o small_a dishonour_n of_o god_n almighty_n in_o hinder_v the_o great_a promotion_n of_o his_o glory_n and_o the_o edification_n of_o many_o religious_a well-disposed_a christian_n but_o before_o i_o enter_v profess_o upon_o this_o argument_n i_o be_o to_o speak_v a_o word_n or_o two_o brief_o on_o the_o four_o just_a mention_v head_n and_o i._o of_o the_o nature_n of_o baptism_n in_o general_n now_o baptism_n signify_v proper_o a_o immersion_n dip_v or_o wash_v the_o whole_a body_n in_o water_n and_o be_v a_o ceremony_n use_v among_o the_o heathen_n as_o well_o as_o the_o jew_n upon_o the_o admission_n of_o any_o new_a convert_v to_o their_o religion_n by_o which_o wash_v be_v signify_v the_o cleanse_n of_o the_o person_n so_o baptize_v from_o their_o former_a pollution_n and_o their_o resolution_n of_o continue_v pure_a and_o unspotted_a for_o the_o future_a this_o ceremony_n be_v very_o innocent_a and_o very_o significant_a the_o holy_a jesus_n be_v willing_a to_o continue_v it_o in_o his_o church_n leave_v out_o the_o other_o of_o circumcision_n which_o signify_v but_o the_o same_o thing_n and_o be_v more_o injurious_a to_o man_n health_n and_o to_o their_o modesty_n i_o say_v baptism_n signify_v proper_o a_o immersion_n dip_v or_o wash_v the_o whole_a body_n in_o water_n and_o so_o it_o be_v practise_v in_o the_o primitive_a time_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o john_n baptism_n who_o choose_v the_o river_n jordan_n and_o such_o place_n where_o there_o be_v much_o water_n for_o the_o convenience_n of_o such_o a_o immersion_n for_o so_o it_o be_v express_o say_v of_o he_o that_o john_n be_v

over_o in_o water_n be_v think_v by_o some_o more_o significant_a than_o any_o other_o sort_n of_o baptism_n for_o hereby_o be_v denote_v the_o cleanse_v the_o whole_a man_n from_o sin_n the_o be_v bury_v with_o christ_n in_o baptism_n which_o be_v signify_v by_o the_o immersion_n or_o dip_v in_o water_n and_o the_o rise_n to_o a_o newness_n of_o life_n which_o be_v signify_v by_o the_o

and_o the_o pour_v or_o sprinkle_v of_o water_n use_v instead_o of_o it_o as_o have_v be_v the_o practice_n of_o these_o northern_a country_n in_o the_o baptism_n of_o child_n who_o tender_a body_n can_v endure_v a_o total_a immersion_n and_o of_o the_o first_o age_n of_o the_o church_n in_o favour_n of_o sick_a and_o bedrid_a person_n who_o desire_v to_o become_v christian_n for_o as_o god_n

which_o account_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v imagine_v that_o the_o ceremony_n of_o admission_n into_o the_o christian_a religion_n shall_v be_v more_o difficult_a than_o that_o into_o the_o jewish_a
