A94166	A Christian, sober & plain exercitation on the two grand practicall controversies of these times; infant baptism and singing of psalms Wherein all the scriptures on both sides are recited, opened and argued, with brevity and tenderness: and whatever hath been largely discussed by others, briefly contracted in a special method for the edification of the saints. By Cuthbert Sidenham, teacher to a church of Christ in Newcastle upon Tine.	Sydenham, Cuthbert, 1622-1654.	1653 (1653)	Wing S6291; Thomason E1443_1; ESTC R209635	113,076	235

instruct_v the_o soul_n how_o to_o make_v confident_a address_n to_o god_n viz._n from_o the_o sense_n of_o our_o justification_n and_o sanctification_n together_o for_o so_o by_o our_o heart_n be_v sprinkle_v from_o a_o evil_a conscience_n be_v mean_v and_o can_v be_v mean_v no_o other_o than_o christ_n blood_n sprinkle_v on_o our_o soul_n in_o the_o assurance_n of_o our_o absolution_n from_o sin_n and_o the_o wash_n with_o pure_a water_n no_o more_o but_o by_o this_o outward_a expression_n of_o the_o purity_n of_o our_o convention_n as_o to_o sanctification_n that_o we_o may_v not_o come_v with_o scandal_n of_o external_a unholiness_n when_o we_o pretend_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o christ_n blood_n four_o the_o usual_a word_n be_v here_o leave_v out_o which_o express_v that_o ordinance_n and_o it_o be_v your_o body_n not_o baptize_v but_o wash_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o be_v a_o clear_a allusion_n to_o that_o of_o levit_fw-la 16.4_o from_o whence_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v excerpt_v when_o aaron_n the_o high-priest_n be_v to_o enter_v into_o the_o holy_a place_n and_o before_o he_o be_v to_o be_v attire_v for_o that_o work_n it_o be_v say_v he_o shall_v wash_v his_o flesh_n in_o water_n and_o so_o put_v they_o on_o the_o 70._o translate_v the_o word_n thus_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d he_o shall_v wash_v his_o whole_a body_n with_o water_n to_o signify_v the_o holiness_n he_o shall_v have_v in_o his_o person_n as_o from_o external_a public_a pollution_n the_o very_a same_o intent_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v here_o that_o if_o we_o will_v be_v confident_a before_o god_n when_o we_o approach_v unto_o god_n we_o must_v come_v with_o christ_n blood_n on_o our_o conscience_n and_o no_o know_a pollution_n on_o out_o conversation_n and_o if_o we_o will_v follow_v their_o ground_n from_o compare_v these_o two_o place_n we_o may_v conclude_v that_o baptism_n be_v as_o much_o a_o ordinance_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n as_o the_o new_a for_o wash_v the_o body_n be_v use_v in_o both_o five_o it_o be_v a_o usual_a phrase_n in_o scripture_n to_o express_v the_o sanctification_n of_o our_o person_n from_o inward_a &_o outward_a defilement_n by_o the_o wash_n of_o water_n and_o wash_v the_o body_n &_o yet_o not_o in_o the_o least_o to_o hint_n out_o the_o manner_n of_o baptise_v by_o water_n as_o into_o the_o special_a administration_n of_o that_o ordinance_n thus_o in_o esa_n 1.16_o when_o god_n say_v to_o his_o backslide_a people_n wash_v you_o make_v you_o clean_o must_v he_o needs_o mean_a go_v and_o be_v baptize_v but_o that_o outward_a expression_n be_v put_v for_o the_o reform_n of_o their_o way_n and_o expound_v by_o put_v away_o the_o evil_a from_o their_o do_n or_o work_n thus_o in_o joh._n 13._o christ_n express_v justification_n and_o sanctification_n by_o wash_v in_o general_a and_o then_o wash_v the_o foot_n he_o that_o be_v wash_v which_o be_v not_o baptize_v for_o christ_n say_v he_o must_v wash_v or_o else_o peter_n can_v have_v no_o part_n in_o he_o and_o christ_n do_v not_o baptize_v such_o a_o one_o need_n no_o more_o but_o to_o wash_v his_o foot_n that_o be_v walk_v holy_o so_o that_o here_o be_v wash_v and_o wash_v of_o the_o foot_n and_o yet_o neither_o mean_v of_o baptise_v nor_o wash_v thus_o likewise_o in_o the_o corinthian_n it_o be_v say_v as_o to_o their_o sanctification_n now_o you_o be_v wash_v now_o you_o be_v cleanse_v now_o you_o be_v justify_v he_o mean_v not_o now_o you_o be_v baptize_v but_o of_o the_o special_a purification_n of_o their_o heart_n and_o life_n from_o their_o former_a pollution_n of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n which_o though_o signify_v by_o baptism_n yet_o so_o remote_o as_o no_o man_n can_v gather_v the_o constant_a method_n of_o external_a baptism_n from_o it_o six_o he_o say_v your_o body_n wash_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d with_o clean_a or_o pure_a water_n now_o i_o hope_v as_o to_o baptise_v none_o be_v so_o foolish_a as_o to_o stand_v on_o it_o whether_o they_o be_v baptize_v after_o a_o rain_n when_o the_o water_n be_v puddle_v or_o whether_o only_o in_o pure_a and_o crystal_n stream_n from_o a_o unpuddled_a spring_n or_o ocean_n and_o yet_o they_o must_v be_v tie_v to_o the_o one_o as_o the_o other_o if_o this_o text_n be_v their_o precedent_n and_o we_o may_v as_o well_o question_n from_o this_o text_n whether_o they_o be_v right_o baptize_v if_o there_o be_v any_o mud_n or_o slime_n or_o filth_n in_o the_o water_n as_o whether_o we_o baptize_v if_o all_o our_o body_n be_v not_o wash_v but_o now_o this_o expression_n to_o set_v forth_o holiness_n and_o sanctification_n be_v most_o apt_a and_o full_a of_o life_n our_o heart_n and_o conversation_n in_o draw_v nigh_o unto_o god_n shall_v be_v as_o if_o external_o they_o be_v wash_v with_o clean_a water_n transparent_a and_o spotless_a before_o he_o shine_v with_o a_o evangelical_n brightness_n and_o spiritual_a purity_n for_o it_o will_v be_v very_o hard_a to_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n with_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o a_o taint_a and_o besmear_v body_n or_o conversation_n with_o unholy_a act_n whereby_o god_n be_v so_o much_o dishonour_v especial_o to_o come_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o verse_n with_o a_o true_a heart_n and_o full_a assurance_n of_o faith_n seven_o if_o he_o have_v mean_v by_o this_o wash_n of_o the_o body_n baptise_v he_o will_v not_o have_v make_v such_o a_o disproportion_n according_a to_o their_o own_o rule_n between_o the_o sign_n and_o thing_n signify_v for_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o heart_n be_v only_o sprinkle_v and_o yet_o the_o body_n wash_v with_o clean_a water_n now_o if_o baptism_n do_v not_o signify_v and_o seal_v justification_n as_o well_o as_o sanctification_n it_o be_v not_o a_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o if_o it_o do_v signify_v it_o can_v go_v beyond_o the_o thing_n signify_v in_o expression_n and_o outward_a

may_v we_o answer_v it_o by_o a_o outward_a act_n without_o offence_n or_o sin_n eight_o grant_v that_o by_o wash_v the_o body_n be_v mean_v baptise_v here_o which_o you_o see_v can_v be_v extort_a by_o violence_n or_o extract_v by_o any_o chemical_a virtue_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o serve_v their_o turn_n for_o first_o the_o body_n be_v say_v to_o be_v wash_v when_o any_o one_o or_o more_o of_o the_o principal_a part_n in_o sight_n or_o use_n be_v wash_v &_o what_o be_v do_v to_o any_o eminent_a or_o command_a part_n it_o carry_v the_o denomination_n of_o the_o whole_a with_o it_o for_o mary_n anoint_v and_o wash_v of_o christ_n head_n and_o foot_n in_o luke_n 7.44.45_o be_v interpret_v in_o john_n 11.2_o for_o the_o anoint_v of_o the_o lord_n as_o much_o as_o if_o she_o have_v do_v

i_o only_o urge_v this_o to_o show_v the_o inevitable_a inconvenience_n these_o man_n will_v bring_v on_o themselves_o by_o such_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n many_o other_o consideration_n
