A Few LINES TOUCHING BAPTISM SHEWING I. What Baptism is with its signification II. Who are fit Subjects to be Baptized III. The Good Old Way of Baptizing IV. Some Objections Answered By Matthew Fenn Matth. 3.13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John to be Baptized of him Jeremiah 6.16 Thus saith the Lord Stand ye in the Ways and see and ask for the Old Paths where is the Good Way and walk therein and ye shall find rest for your Souls But they said We will not walk therein LONDON Printed for Matthew Fenn at Coggshall in Essex 1697. The Epistle THese Lines I desire may be perused by serious Souls and although some Men may not read them yet I hope they will not abuse them The Author's Endeavours extend not to that Greatness of Skill which some Men desire yet tho' they may not profit all Men they may do good to some The Captious are always apt to despise that which the Prudent value because that the Lord chuseth base Things to confound the Mighty Therefore my Christian Friends ponder the matter and arise and be Baptized Coggshall in Essex 1696. Mathew Fenn I. What Baptism is BAPTISM is a Gospel-Ordinance ordained by Christ Himself when All Power was given him both in Heaven and in Earth Mat. 28.18 19. And it is one of the great Witnesses Christ left to bear Record in Earth as in 1 John 5.8 There are three that bear Witness in Earth the Spirit the Water and the Bloud and these Three agree in One. And so it is one of the great Sacraments of the New Testament which signifieth the Death Burial Resurrection and Ascension of our Lord Jesus shewing clearly that as Christ died for our Sins was buried rose again from the dead ascended up on high even so we being dead to Sin should be buried with him in Baptism into death that like as Christ was raised from the dead by the Glory of the Father even so we also should walk in newness of life Rom. 6.13 4 5. What Baptism is BAptism is a Sacrament Which to us signifie That God the Father Jesus sent And he for us did die And that he in the Grave was laid And also buried When he our dreadful Debt had paid For which his Bloud was shed And that he did arise again Ascended up on high When he the Enmity had slain All this it signifie And thus we plainly may perceive What was the Lord's intent When he was pleas'd with us to leave This Holy Sacrament II. Who may be Baptized HE that believeth and is baptized shall be saved Mark 16.16 But when they believed Philip preaching the Things concerning the Kingdom of God and the Name of Jesus Christ they were baptized both Men and Women Acts 8.12 And as they went on their way they came unto a certain Water and the Enuch said See here is Water what doth hinder me to be baptised And Philip said If thou believest with all thine heart thou may'st And he answered and said I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God And he commanded the Chariot to stand still and they went both down into the Water both Philip and the Enuch and he baplised him Acts 8.37 38 39. Then they that gladly received his Word were baptized Acts 2.41 And without Faith it is impossible to please God Heb. 11.6 For whatsoever is not of Faith is Sin Rom. 14.23 Who may be Baptized HE that believes and is baptiz'd 'T is he shall saved be For thus our Saviour dear advis'd In Scripture you may see Faith is that Grace which makes Souls fit Their Saviour to obey Let s labour then that Grace to get To help us it the way If thou with all thy heart believe Phillip the Enuch told Then Baptism thou may'st receive And thus it was of old But where that Grace cannot be found We clearly understand Such to baptize there is no ground They build upon the sand And when the stormy Winds do blow And Rain it doth descend Then great will be their Overthrow And Woe will be their end Then beg of God to give thee Faith To follow Christ herein For as the holy Scripture saith What 's not of Faith is sin III. The good old Way of Baptizing JOhn did baptize in the Wilderness and preached the Baptism of Repentance for the remission of Sins And there went out to him all the Land of Judaea and they of Jerusalem and were all baptized of him in the River Jordan confessing their Sins Mark 1.4.5 Matth. 3.1 2 5 7. And it came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized of John IN Jordan mark that And streightway coming up out of the Water he saw the Heavens opened and the Spririt like a Dove descending upon him And there came a Voice from Heaven saying Thou art my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased Mark 1.9 10 11. After these things came Jesus and his Disciples into the Land of Judea and there he tarried with them and baptised John also was baptizing in Enon near to Salim because there was much Water there And they Came mark that and were baptized John 3.23 Acts 19.4 5. said Paul John verily baptized with the Baptism of Repentance saying unto the People That they should believe on him that should come after him that is on Christ When they heard this they were baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus And in Acts 8.36 37 38. And Philip said If thou believest with all thine heart thou may'st And he answered and said I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God And he commanded the Chariot to stand still and they went down both into the Water both Philip and the Eunuch and he baptized him The Good Old Way of Baptizing BAptizing is not Sprinkling As fondly some surmize But it is quite another thing To Dip is to Baptize We find our Blessed Saviour went Down into Jordan's Flood Mark 1.9 As in his Holy Testament Is clearly understood For coming up from thence we read The Heavens opened were And the Trinity indeed This Truth confirmed there The Son down into Jordan went And coming up again The Holy Ghost made a descent And on him did remain And lo a Voice from Heaven fell 'T is my Beloved Son And he indeed hath pleas'd me well In that which he hath done But Men are now too lofty grown Their Saviour dear to follow In vain Inventions of their own They'd rather lie and wallow What dipt as Christ was that 's too low For most in this our Age Naaman-like they angry grow 2 King 5.11 12. And fall into a Rage As I my self have heard some say As now I tell to thee Before they would be sav'd that way They'd never saved be But the true humble gracious Soul Their Saviour dear will eye And follow him without controul There is great reason why Christ's way it is the clearest case Though Men do it
