A33967	The improvableness of water-baptism, or, A discourse concerning the gravity and seriousness of the action and the usefulness of the sacred institution of baptism instructing all parents how great a thing they do when they bring their children to that holy ordinance, and all persons, whether young or old, what obligations their baptism hath brought them under, what wrath it hath exposed wicked and impenitent persons to, and what use they may make of their baptism for confirmation of their faith, and quickening them to repentance and an holy life : discoursed from Rom. 6:3,4, by way of sermon / by John Collinges ...	Collinges, John, 1623-1690.	1681 (1681)	Wing C5321; ESTC R5112	38,449	47

and_o that_o the_o curse_a atheistical_a life_n of_o very_a many_o husband_n and_o wife_n their_o discontent_n and_o breach_n and_o the_o perverse_a spirit_n mix_v betwixt_o they_o be_v but_o the_o effect_n and_o just_a punishment_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n hasty_a slighty_a and_o inconsiderate_a engagement_n in_o that_o covenant_n this_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o another_o nature_n a_o covenant_n betwixt_o the_o great_a god_n and_o the_o baptize_v person_n where_o god_n be_v not_o a_o witness_n only_o but_o a_o party_n ought_v we_o not_o to_o be_v serious_a in_o such_o a_o action_n o_o let_v this_o mind_n you_o that_o hear_v i_o to_o bring_v your_o child_n to_o baptism_n and_o to_o attend_v the_o administration_n of_o it_o with_o much_o more_o gravity_n and_o seriousness_n of_o thought_n than_o be_v usual_a believe_v i_o it_o be_v no_o light_a action_n to_o dedicate_v a_o child_n to_o god_n not_o to_o covenant_n with_o god_n that_o your_o child_n shall_v be_v his_o servant_n for_o ever_o if_o afterward_o you_o direct_v it_o otherwise_o or_o show_v it_o a_o example_n to_o the_o contrary_a or_o omit_v to_o instruct_v it_o and_o mind_n it_o of_o its_o duty_n and_o to_o call_v upon_o it_o for_o the_o performance_n of_o it_o or_o as_o much_o as_o in_o you_o lie_v to_o hinder_v it_o from_o the_o contrary_a the_o child_n shall_v perish_v for_o its_o apostasy_n because_o the_o oath_n of_o god_n be_v upon_o it_o but_o its_o blood_n shall_v also_o be_v require_v at_o your_o hand_n 2._o but_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o as_o the_o action_n be_v serious_a so_o the_o

of_o it_o there_o be_v other_o that_o will_v make_v a_o usefulness_n of_o it_o beyond_o what_o i_o can_v find_v in_o holy_a writ_n make_v it_o upon_o the_o work_n do_v to_o wash_v away_o the_o guilt_n of_o original_a sin_n and_o to_o set_v the_o soul_n rectum_fw-la in_o curia_fw-la right_a in_o the_o court_n of_o heaven_n i_o can_v allow_v this_o but_o doubt_v not_o to_o evince_v to_o you_o that_o leave_v this_o effect_n only_o to_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n sprinkle_v upon_o the_o conscience_n baptism_n be_v a_o very_a useful_a thing_n and_o that_o upon_o a_o fourfold_a account_n 1._o to_o repel_v temptation_n to_o sin_n and_o this_o as_o it_o be_v a_o preingagement_n temptation_n to_o repel_v temptation_n upon_o the_o soul_n it_o be_v a_o excuse_n you_o often_o put_v man_n off_o with_o
