overwhelming the Person in Water II. That true penitent Believers are the right Subject of Baptism III. That the Ordinance of Baptism is now in being and is to continue to the End of this World I. I shall shew that Baptism must be administred by Dipping c. if we consider these four things 1. The Etymology or Signification of the Word the Holy Spirit uses to express it by 2. Those Metaphors used in Holy Scripture to represent it to our Understanding 3. From the Practice of the first Baptizers 4. From the grand Commission of our Saviour Mat. 28.19 1. From the Etymology or Signification of the Word The word Baptism is from the Greek 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to dipt Baptisma a Dipping from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Bapto to dip plunge or drown It implieth the washing of the whole Body 〈◊〉 even such a washing as is used in Bucks where Linen i● plunged and dipt For the native and proper signification of it is to dip into Water or to plunge under Water see Leigh's Critica Sacra It is a Metaphor taken from the use of the Dyers Vat 〈◊〉 and is such a Dipping by which the Cloth put into it is dyed and not a bare washing only from whence cometh Baptism Zepperus de Sacramentis saith 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Baptism 〈◊〉 vocis notationem attendere velimus vocabulum Baptismi mersionem significat in aquam c. If we will attend to the Notation of the word Baptism it signifies to dip into Water 〈◊〉 or the Act it self of Dipping and Washing From hence therefore and from the Etymology of the Word it self i● doth appear what was the Custom of administring Baptism from the beginning Whereas now saith he we ●●●●ther use Rantism viz. Sprinkling in the stead of Baptism which is Dipping Alstedius in his Lexicon Theologicum printed Anno 1612. 〈◊〉 310. saith thus 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Tingere lavare inficere unde deductum aliud ver●●●● 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 intingere immergere maximè quidem aquâ 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 tantum significat immergere non lavare nisi 〈◊〉 unsequenti From whence it may plainly be seen that this Learned ●●●●hor doth assert That Baptism is to dip plunge or 〈◊〉 whelm the Person baptized in Water And that its ●●●●per signification is to dip or dye and not to wash but ●●●●y by Consequence For which he cites for his Autho●●●● both Plutarch and Nazianzen as may be seen at large 〈◊〉 the Book it self Besides this is so well known that every School-boy in 〈◊〉 Greek-Grammar can tell you that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 bapto is ●●●●re rendred mergo immergo to dip to plunge or overwhelm ●lso in a Greek Lexicon published and recommended to 〈◊〉 for the encrease of Knowledg by Joseph Caryll George Cokayne Ralph Vening William Dell Matthew Barker William Adderly Matthew Mead and Henry Jessey ●●ey tell us that the signification of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is to dip ●●●●ge or drown And in the Passive Voice 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to be plunged or overwhelmed And that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to plunge to overwhelm to baptize to dip And in 〈◊〉 Passive Voice 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to be plunged to be baptized or dipped In Clavis Graecae Linguae printed at London Anno 1640. 〈◊〉 is thus rendred 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 mergo tingo to dip 〈◊〉 dye 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Idem the same 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 mersio to drown and there●●●● 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is often rendred to dip into to drown 〈◊〉 from thence the Latins use mersus à mergo drowned ●●●●ered or over whelmed with Water And therefore it ●●●sed in the New Testament for that Holy Ordinance of Baptism it being performed by dipping the whole Body of the Person baptized under Water The Learned Robertson my singular good Friend in his Thesaurus Graecae Linguae saith Baptizo mergo 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Intingo mergo to dye to dip plunge c. Hence saith he is Baptizo which signifies the same As also Baptismos Baptisma c. But the Greek word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Rantizo he saith is aspergo to sprinkle 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Rontismos Aspersio Sprinkling So that you may ea●●ly 〈…〉 is as much difference betwint these two Greek 〈…〉 Baptismos and Rantismos in Greek as there is betwixt these 〈◊〉 words Dipping and Sprinkling in English and therefore surely not to be conceived to be sy●●●imous so as to signity the same thing I now presume from what hath been said that if the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and its Derivatives are used in all places in the New Testament where this Ordinance of Baptism is spoken of Then it will follow by an unavoidable Consequence that Dipping is the right manner of Baptizing and that Sprinkling is not Baptizing That it is so will evidently appear from an Enumeration of Particulars I will instance in some of the principal when I come to shew you what was the Practice of the first Baptizers But of that in its proper place I now come to treat of the second Particular under this Head viz. Dipping the Persons baptized into Water appears to be the right way of administring this Ordinance if we consider the Metaphors used in Holy Scripture 〈◊〉 express it by There are two I shall chiefly insist upon 1. A Burial 2. A Resurrection We are to consider that our Lord Jesus Christ hath no● burdened us under the Gospel with a multitude of Ceremonies as it was in that Oeconomy of the Jews under the Legal Dispensation But only with some few and those very significant this being a more spiritual Dispensation As therefore the Holy Supper of our Lord in the breaking of the Bread signifies the breaking of his Body and the pouring out of the Wine the shedding of his most precious Blood and both of these in conjunction his Death 1 Cor. 11.26 For as often as you eat this Bread and drive this Cup ye do shew forth the Lord's Death till he come Even so Holy Baptism doth shew forth his Burial and direction Rom. 6.4 Therefore we are buried with him baptism into Death that like as Christ was raised up from Dead to the Glory of the Father even so we also should walk ●●●ess of Life ●ow consider the Metaphor when Men are dead we 〈◊〉 them by covering the whole Body under Ground 〈◊〉 not by scattering or sprinkling a little Dust or Earth 〈◊〉 their Faces only ●prinkling you know hath no resemblance to Bu●●● but dipping or plunging the whole Body under Wa●●● is a most express and lively representation thereof But perhaps Humane Testimonies will please you and 〈◊〉 Pastor better than Divine And therefore I shall 〈◊〉 you the Opinion of some Learned Bishops to corroborate what I say who may be supposed to understand 〈◊〉 Original as well as Mr. James The late
