for the baptism of Christ which confers remission of Sins as Paul say'd Ye have been washed ye have sanctified not by the Baptism of John but by the Name of Christ and by the Spirit of God Some say there were three sorts of Baptism The First of John to Repentance when they returned from dead Works The Second was that of the Disciples in the Name of Jesus and they who were baptized by the Disciples received Remission of Sins The third is that which followed the Descent of the holy Ghost viꝪt the Adoption of Sons for without the holy Ghost there was no capacity for Adoption Saint Theologus and Moses Bar Cepha and Johannes de Dara and others are for Eight Baptisms The first is that of the Flood as that which was given for the Cutting off of Sin and purged the world from Evil. The Second was that which was by the cloud and the Sea as St. Paul said the Sea signifying waters and the Clouds the holy Ghost The third is the Figurative Law by Moses which is called of Purification and they eat nothing out of the Market without washing for those who were clean by Nature but by Accident otherwise as he who had touched a dead Carcase or was defiled with Nocturnal Pollution or had tasted what was prohibited or went to the House of Mourning was therefore to purge himself by washing and was not clean until the evening The Fourth is that of John by water indeed but to repentance which was superiour to that of the Jews but inferior to ours it having neither the holy Ghost nor remission of Sins which is manifest from hence that Paul did again baptize those who had been baptized therewith by Apollo of Alexandria and it served as a bridge to pass from that of Moses to this of ours there were not therein Bodily cleansings but it advised us to eschue evil and to perform works agreeable to Repentance The Fifth is that which Christ bestowed upon us being perfect and bestowing Adoption Conferring Grace and granting Remission of Sins and freeing from debts and is the Gift of the Spirit The Sixth is that of Martyrdom for the Martyrs who were not baptized with water and received the holy Ghost and bare Testimony of Christ and were Crowned the blood of their necks supplyed the place of their baptisme The seventh is that of Tears which also procures remission for being it is Impossible for those who have been once baptized when they are spotted with Sin to be re-baptized God gave Tears that when a Man weeps for his Sin he might receive Remission and so the Gift of Baptism which he lost might return unto him as David was baptized with Tears when he sinned and committed adultery The Eighth is another baptism which is by Fire whereof speaks Theologus which happens when we are baptized in fire But with what baptisme was our Lord baptized St. Severus is of opinion that it was that of John which was of repentance for he who was no Sinner was reputed a sinner and he was not baptized as if he had stood in need of repentance or to have received Remission of Sins or the holy Ghost for he committed no Sin nor was there any guile in him he say'd Who reproves me of Sin And he had no need of the Spirit for he was of the same nature with him wherefore as not wanting it was he baptized with the baptism of repentance the over-ruling of Controversy he was therefore baptised with the baptism of repentance and adoption as being not baptized for himself but for us it was say'd to be one and the same baptism wherewith he was baptized but he was baptized for us that he might Sanctify us by his baptism he abolished the baptism of the Jews and gave us that of adoption as he Celebrated the Passover abolishing the old and instituting the new Philoxenus He was baptized with our baptism that he might bestow it upon us for it is a type of his death and resurrection and as he died and rose again and was to us the first fruit from the dead so was he baptized for the sanctification of our baptism and presently he bestowed it upon us for he was baptized that he might be proclaimed to Israel and that he might fulfill the whole Law that is righteousness and that he might prepare adoption for us and make us his Sons and Domesticks and that he might draw the holy Ghost on our flesh by the means of his flesh and that he might make void the first Condemnation and that he might open unto us the Heavens which were shut up by Transgression of the Commandments and that he might Sanctifie Waters and shew them unto us as Enlightning Holy and Conferring Remission and that he might Sanctifie the Baptist and that he who once cast into the Water in the time of Pharoah the known Serpent which crept in the VVater might bruise his Head and that he might Root Sin out of the VVaters as he took it upon him when he was Crucified and that he might Reveal the Trinity upon the VVaters and that he might put an end to former VVashings and bodily Purifications and that Spiritual Baptism might be believed which is from Water and the Spirit whereat Nicodemus made difficulty and that he might wash away the Filth of Sin that is in us and that he might by the Spirit and Water perfect Jordan as he is Spirit and Flesh Wherefore did he Establish Water for Baptism and not something else 1. Because as our first Frame was made of Water and Dust so also our last renovation ought to be accomplished by Water and Fire and as there he breathed into the Face of Adam a Living Soul so in Baptism he breathed into us the Holy-Ghost 2. Because sensitive Creatures are therewith sustained 3. Because Water hath it in its Nature to give increase and to fructifie as it received from the beginning so it now causeth Men to be fruitful and increase and fits them with Wings to fly to the Meeting with our Lord. 4. Because the Water Arms us against Thirst and Fire wherefore being Baptized therewith we drive away from us the Flames of inordinate Passions and so quench the last Fire that it may not prejudice us 5. Because Water hath a pure clearness by Nature which frames the similitudes of such persons as look into it so Baptism exhibits unto us the like framing in us the Characters of Incorruption 6. As Water washeth away the Dirt and Filth out of Garments so doth Baptism purge the Sins of Soul and Body 7. As Water takes out the Spots which fall upon us so Baptism takes out the blot of Sin which Adam cast upon us when he became Debtor to Sin and Death 8. Water Strengthneth those who are Weak and dip themselves in it so after we are Baptized therein it fortifies us to the performance of Spiritual Service 9. Potters Vessels which are Burnt in the Fire unless they be

much as he did not believe that Christ suffered on his own accord for had he been of that belief he had been converted as was Simon and had not hang'd himself Thirty pieces of Silver viz. Thirty Pence I have sinned in that I have Betrayed the innocent Blood Vers 4. lest it should be thought that he had betrayed him as finding some Evill in him it was so ordered by Divine disposition that he should say before the Chief Priests I have sinned in that I have betrayed Innocent blood What is that to us Thou knowest Hereby they cast the blame on Judas as if they had been clear of the matter whereas if they had been so pleased he had not been Crucified And he Cast down the silver in the Temple Ver. 5. viz. he earnestly contended with them to take it back again and they would not receive it he therefore cast it down in a fury and went his way He went and hanged himself Acts. 1.18 Mathew sayeth thus but Luke in the Acts writes that he burst in sunder in the midst and all his Bowels gush'd out A Reconciliation of the difference between the Evangelists concerning the Death of Judas and both are in the Right For there was strangling and bursting in the case and every of the Evangelists writes of the one for after he had cast down the Silver in the Temple he cast a Rope about his own Neck in a Wood belonging to his House and it happening that some passing by saw him hanging and loosed him before he was choaked Others say the Rope brake and that for some days after he was sick and swelled to so large dimensions as that a Cart could not bear him and his head was sore puffed up and his eyelids so swolne that he could not see And Papias saith That his privy Members were mightily enlarged and that putrid matter abominable stench and Worms proceeded from them Epiphanius saith That he lived four days after his Suspension that he was cut in twain Epiphanies his Opinion and that his Bowels gushed out Others That he died of that Disease and they did not bury him for that it was a custom to leave those unburied who hanged themselves Wherefore he did stink and became offensive and a Nusance to the Inhabiters round about and they were forced to remove him thence on a Bier and when they lifted him up he fell and bursted and all his bowels gush'd out It is said by St. Luke in the Acts of the Apostles Let his habitations be waste That is to say Acts 1.20 after they had buried him the ill savour of his house offended the inhabitants and they removed thence the stones and the rest of the materials and so his habitation became waste to wit Scariot and uninhabited His house was seated in Jerusalem Because it is the price of Blood Vers 6. Hereby they plainly shew that they bought his blood at a Price and did not put him to death as guilty And bought with them the Potters field to bury strangers in Vers 7. That is to say for a Sepulcher of strangers and to cover the wickedness of the murder by their pretended provision for strangers and while they labour by pretext to conceal their fraud God on the contrary ordains that the names of both should perish as well of the Potters as of the strangers Vers 8. for it was called the Field of Blood he calls Agorsa the Field or Land which belongs to one that makes Potts and Vessels and such like Potters ware and this man was one of these three either he made Earthen Ports or his Ancestors were Potters or his Name was such as imported Potter as they call men by many and sundry Names Took the thirty pieces of Silver Vers 9. those things which the Jews did wickedly and voluntarily were the accomplishment of the Prophecie These words were set down as a Parable which the Prophet converts by application into matter of Fact An Error of the Translator Corrected John 18.33 as this Out of Egypt have I called my Son These words Took thirty Pieces of Silver are not written in Jeremy as we find in Mathew but are written in Zachary and by Error the Translator wrote Jeremy instead of Zachary Pilate entre'd into the Praetorium Viz. the place where the King or Judg sits and gives Judgment in publick Causes Art thou King of the Jews Vers 11. Because the Jews accused him they added that he said of himself that he was King and Pilate being above all other thing most Solicitous hereof asked him this question for he thought this a matter against the Roman Government and that it behoved him who was set up in the place of Authority as a Warden or Judge to be more inquisitive thereof than all others Thou sayest Ver. 12. Which was a much as if he had said I am And he gave him no answer that is to say neither to Pilate nor to the Jews for they had not profited by his Answer moreover over that the words of Isaiah may be fullfilled He was dumh and opened not his mouth And he wonder'd mightily Ver. 14. that is to say it being so easy for him to speak and get the victory there being no cause of death alledg'd against him he was silent Luk. 23.9 Luke says that Jesus answered him not a word that is to Herod he gave no answer nor wrought a miracle before him lest they should rescue him from the Crucifiers by force he being a Gallilean and so retard his sufferings from the Cross which he was prepared to undergo But Herod contemned him because he neither answered him nor wrought a miracle before him Chastise him therefore and let him go Luk. 23.16 That is to say cause him to be scourged and permit him to depart for Pilate himself perceived that they conspired against him and it was the custom to dismiss at the Feast one that was Chastised The Jews said unto him Joh 18.31 It is not lawfull for us to put any one to Death That is to say it is lawfull for them to execute to death in another manner than that of the Cross which is manifest by their stoning of Stephen but as to Christ they said It is not lawful for us to put him to death as a Traytor or Rebell against Caesar and as one that taught the Jews to rise in Rebellion against the Romans so that being to be put to death under that notion he might not receive any favour at his Death being one that suffered for a Capitall offence Moreover it is not Lawful for us his transgression is not onely against us or our Law but his insolency reacheth so far as to offend Caesar also Again Divine Dispensation utter'd this by their mouths that the speech of our Saviour before he was betrayed might befulfilled My Kingdom is not of this World Jo. 18.36 That is to say The
