Chap. 25. Vers. saith Thenwill I poure cleane water vpon you and you shall bee cleane yea from all your filthines and from all your Idols will I cleanse you This figure of Baptisme likewise is manifested in the 7 th of Genesis alleadged by St. Peter chap. 2. vers 20.21 Which were in time passed Disobedient when the long suffering of God wayted in the dayes of Not while the Arke was preparing wherein fewe that is Eight-soules were saued in the water Vers. 21. Whereof the Baptisme that now is answering that Figure which is not a putting away of the filth of the Flesh but the answer of a good Conscience toward God saueth vs now also by the Resurrection of Iesus Christ. This very Figure in many other places is presented vnto vs as Exod. 13.21 and the 14.22 of which the Apostle St. Paul makes mention in the 1.

Iesus answered Verily verily I say vnto thee except that a man bee borne of Water and of the Spirit hee cannot enter into the Kingdome of God By these wordes it appeareth cleare that the Figures in the Olde Testament are fully accomplished in the New by the searching of Iesus Christ which is the true Lambe of God without any spot that taketh away the Sinnes of the world Being also the true promised Messias and Sonne of Dauid of whom nothing hath beene spoken in the New Testament which hath not formerly beene Prophesied by Moses and the Prophets Neither ought wee to looke for any other then he that is ascended into Heauen euen Iesus Christ which shall come to Iudge the quicke and the Dead And further examining the particulers of the Messias touching his Person Office Natiuity Doctrine Sufferings Death Resurrection and Ascenton I haue found them all to belong and appertaine to Iesus Christ onely who is the vndoubted Messias and Sonne of the Eternall God as appeareth Psal. 22.
