from_o 1._o pet._n 3.21_o i_o be_v like_o figure_n whereto_o even_o baptism_n do_v also_o now_o save_v we_o not_o the_o put_v away_o the_o filth_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n towards_o god_n whence_o i_o thus_o argue_v if_o baptism_n be_v appoint_v for_o out_o solemn_a admission_n into_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n as_o noah_n ark_n receive_v man_n into_o a_o state_n of_o safety_n from_o the_o deluge_n than_o none_o shall_v be_v baptize_v but_o those_o that_o profess_v that_o say_v which_o enter_v they_o into_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n but_o the_o former_a be_v true_a therefore_o so_o be_v the_o late_a 1._o here_o it_o be_v employ_v plain_o that_o this_o be_v quoad_fw-la finem_fw-la instituentis_fw-la the_o common_a appoint_a use_n of_o baptism_n which_o the_o text_n mention_v though_o eventual_o it_o prove_v not_o the_o common_a effect_n through_o the_o error_n of_o the_o receiver_n and_o this_o appear_v 1._o in_o that_o it_o be_v speak_v plain_o in_o the_o text_n of_o the_o very_a nature_n and_o appoint_a use_n of_o baptism_n and_o so_o of_o baptism_n as_o baptism_n without_o any_o exception_n limitation_n or_o distinction_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o speak_v of_o any_o different_a use_n that_o it_o be_v appoint_v for_o to_o the_o elect_n as_o distinct_a from_o its_o common_a use_n to_o other_o it_o be_v speak_v of_o that_o signification_n and_o common_a use_n to_o which_o baptism_n be_v appoint_v viz._n to_o save_v else_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o understand_v the_o use_n of_o it_o or_o any_o ordinance_n from_o scripture_n if_o we_o shall_v take_v liberty_n to_o say_v it_o be_v this_o to_o one_o but_o not_o to_o another_o when_o the_o scripture_n say_v no_o such_o thing_n but_o speak_v of_o the_o nature_n and_o use_n of_o it_o without_o distinction_n else_o when_o it_o say_v circumcision_n be_v a_o seal_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n we_o may_v lay_v with_o the_o anabaptist_n it_o be_v so_o to_o abraham_n but_o not_o to_o all_o other_o and_o when_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v say_v to_o be_v appoint_v for_o the_o remembrance_n of_o christ_n we_o may_v say_v that_o be_v but_o to_o some_o and_o not_o to_o other_o when_o as_o the_o text_n plain_o speak_v of_o the_o state_v use_n of_o the_o ordinance_n to_o all_o 2._o and_o in_o the_o type_n its_o clear_a for_o it_o be_v not_o some_o only_o but_o all_o that_o enter_v noah_n ark_n that_o enter_v into_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n from_o the_o deluge_n therefore_o so_o it_o be_v here_o as_o to_o the_o command_v use_v 2._o when_o baptism_n be_v say_v to_o save_v we_o it_o be_v plain_o mean_v of_o the_o state_n of_o salvation_n that_o baptism_n enter_v we_o into_o and_o not_o of_o baptism_n ex_fw-la ●pere_fw-la operato_fw-la effect_v our_o salvation_n and_o so_o baptism_n comprehend_v the_o state_n into_o which_o we_o be_v solemn_o by_o it_o initiate_v as_o a_o woman_n that_o be_v marry_v to_o a_o honourable_a man_n or_o a_o soldier_n list_v under_o a_o honourable_a commander_n be_v say_v to_o be_v honour_v the_o one_o by_o marriage_n the_o other_o by_o list_v where_o antecedent_n consent_n be_v the_o great_a foundation_n on_o both_o side_n of_o the_o honourable_a relation_n and_o the_o subsequent_a state_n be_v the_o condition_n or_o state_n itself_o which_o be_v honourable_a but_o the_o solemn_a signification_n be_v but_o the_o expression_n of_o the_o former_a and_o passage_n to_o the_o latter_a 3._o hereby_o its_o apparent_a that_o though_o the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n be_v the_o principal_a thing_n intend_v and_o that_o save_v yet_o the_o external_a baptism_n be_v here_o include_v as_o the_o sign_n and_o solemnisation_n so_o that_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v not_o the_o put_v away_o the_o filth_n of_o the_o flesh_n he_o mean_v not_o the_o bare_a outward_a act_n of_o wash_v alone_o or_o as_o such_o but_o baptism_n as_o it_o be_v entire_a have_v the_o thing_n profess_v on_o our_o part_n together_o with_o the_o profess_v sign_n 4._o it_o be_v therefore_o but_o by_o way_n of_o signification_n obsignation_n and_o complemental_a exhibition_n that_o baptism_n save_v it_o be_v neither_o the_o first_o or_o principal_a efficient_a or_o condition_n of_o it_o but_o be_v valid_a as_o it_o be_v conjunct_a with_o the_o principal_a cause_n and_o condition_n for_o the_o attainment_n of_o these_o end_n 5._o it_o be_v not_o a_o mere_a remote_a mean_n lead_v towards_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n that_o baptism_n be_v here_o affirm_v to_o be_v but_o a_o entrance_n or_o mean_n of_o entrance_n into_o that_o state_n of_o salvation_n itself_o as_o the_o heart_n covenant_n or_o faith_n do_v it_o principal_o so_o baptism_n signal_o and_o complemental_o this_o be_v plain_a 1._o because_o it_o be_v not_o say_v to_o help_v we_o towards_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n but_o express_o to_o save_v 2._o because_o the_o type_n which_o be_v here_o mention_v viz._n the_o ark_n be_v such_o a_o mean_n that_o all_o that_o enter_v into_o it_o for_o preservation_n from_o the_o flood_n be_v actual_o save_v from_o it_o all_o this_o

must_v we_o admit_v none_o that_o profess_v not_o that_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n but_o the_o former_a be_v certain_a from_o the_o text_n for_o baptism_n be_v say_v to_o save_v that_o be_v its_o appoint_a use_n yet_o not_o the_o external_a wash_n but_o the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n do_v it_o therefore_o this_o be_v of_o necessary_a conjunction_n and_o without_o it_o

their_o conscience_n be_v purify_v and_o whereby_o they_o receive_v the_o remission_n of_o their_o sin_n etc._n etc._n some_o understand_v by_o the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n that_o

aforesaid_a so_o that_o i_o conclude_v that_o this_o text_n do_v plain_o show_v that_o baptm_n be_v for_o the_o save_n of_o the_o baptise_a as_o to_o the_o institute_v use_v and_o may_v not_o be_v
