other_o man_n faith_n for_o as_o it_o be_v with_o all_o supernatural_a work_n there_o be_v a_o passive_a faith_n in_o the_o object_n necessary_a to_o make_v it_o capable_a of_o that_o miracle_n

in_o the_o treatise_n of_o he_o against_o the_o petro-brusians_a who_o opinion_n agree_v in_o the_o point_n with_o our_o anabaptist_n you_o see_v multitude_n of_o man_n in_o scripture_n have_v a_o

brief_a to_o the_o argument_n faith_n in_o all_o introduce_v this_o covenant_n in_o baptism_n and_o move_v the_o receiver_n to_o be_v adopt_v to_o god_n and_o therefore_o observe_v that_o the_o apostle_n as_o he_o verse_n 26._o you_o be_v all_o the_o child_n of_o god_n by_o faith_n so_o in_o the_o 27_o verse_n he_o bring_v a_o reason_n for_o as_o many_o as_o be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n have_v put_v on_o christ._n the_o reason_n why_o they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n by_o faith_n be_v because_o that_o such_o as_o have_v this_o faith_n be_v move_v to_o be_v baptize_v and_o they_o put_v on_o christ._n the_o faith_n of_o he_o who_o be_v master_n of_o his_o own_o action_n make_v he_o be_v baptize_v the_o faith_n of_o he_o who_o be_v master_n of_o his_o child_n action_n cause_v he_o to_o bring_v his_o child_n to_o this_o adoption_n and_o yet_o methinks_v it_o have_v not_o only_a power_n concern_v this_o blessing_n before_o the_o act_n of_o adoption_n to_o bring_v man_n to_o it_o but_o even_o in_o it_o to_o accept_v it_o for_o although_o there_o be_v all_o the_o affection_n in_o the_o world_n to_o it_o before_o yet_o if_o faith_n fail_v in_o the_o act_n that_o man_n will_v hold_v from_o accept_v such_o a_o covenant_n whereby_o he_o have_v no_o confidence_n to_o be_v bless_v but_o this_o faith_n do_v only_o make_v he_o covenant_n but_o itself_o be_v not_o the_o covenant_n thus_o i_o suppose_v i_o have_v speak_v abundant_o to_o mr._n hooker_n second_o argument_n and_o to_o such_o objection_n which_o i_o have_v think_v upon_o as_o most_o oppose_v this_o

the_o harm_n if_o we_o allow_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n true_a in_o the_o essential_o of_o a_o church_n though_o sick_a and_o full_a of_o corrupt_a doctrine_n i_o have_v show_v and_o it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o many_o man_n be_v in_o a_o church_n yea_o in_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o not_o be_v save_v and_o perhaps_o there_o may_v be_v a_o whole_a

therefore_o by_o the_o way_n i_o add_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v not_o only_o a_o church_n but_o a_o save_a church_n such_o as_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o multitude_n be_v save_v in_o for_o they_o have_v not_o only_o a_o doctrine_n

the_o gospel_n be_v not_o attribute_v to_o these_o late_a disciple_n beside_o these_o i_o read_v not_o of_o any_o person_n which_o have_v any_o mission_n from_o christ_n to_o do_v these_o great_a

of_o these_o covenant_n of_o heaven_n call_v baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n whether_o these_o all_o these_o or_o other_o beside_o they_o sect_n v._o who_o be_v make_v minister_n of_o the_o sacrament_n to_o begin_v with_o baptism_n that_o baptism_n be_v institute_v in_o our_o saviour_n life_n time_n be_v very_o evident_a out_o of_o the_o 3d._n of_o st._n john_n v_o 22._o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o our_o saviour_n camo_fw-la into_o judea_n and_o there_o tarry_v with_o they_o and_o baptize_v that_o be_v expound_v chapter_n 4._o v._n 2._o that_o he_o do_v not_o baptize_v but_o his_o disciple_n out_o of_o which_o it_o be_v evident_a beside_o the_o conference_n he_o have_v with_o nicodemus_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o 3d._a chapter_n that_o there_o be_v a_o baptism_n use_v and_o institute_v by_o our_o saviour_n and_o they_o who_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o it_o be_v his_o disciple_n but_o now_o when_o it_o be_v institute_v and_o what_o it_o be_v that_o be_v institute_v be_v mighty_a difficulty_n not_o full_o clear_v for_o the_o first_o part_n i_o leave_v all_o those_o party_n which_o fix_v it_o to_o any_o time_n which_o be_v these_o two_o either_o when_o st._n john_n baptize_v our_o saviour_n of_o which_o we_o may_v read_v mat._n 3._o 13._o or_o else_o in_o his_o conference_n with_o nicodemus_n john_n 3._o 5._o where_o he_o utter_v these_o word_n except_o a_o man_n be_v bear_v again_o of_o water_n and_o the_o holy_a spirit_n he_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n i_o can_v consent_v to_o neither_o of_o these_o not_o to_o the_o first_o for_o we_o find_v nothing_o like_o a_o ordination_n but_o indeed_o by_o the_o descend_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o voice_n from_o heaven_n a_o foundation_n for_o a_o ordinance_n but_o not_o a_o ordinance_n itself_o not_o the_o second_o for_o it_o be_v a_o private_a conference_n between_o our_o saviour_n and_o that_o man_n wherein_o he_o may_v well_o declare_v that_o there_o have_v be_v some_o such_o thing_n or_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v such_o a_o power_n give_v but_o this_o do_v not_o settle_v any_o such_o power_n nor_o any_o form_n or_o minister_n of_o it_o i_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o as_o many_o thing_n be_v do_v without_o doubt_n which_o be_v not_o write_v as_o st._n john_n speak_v in_o the_o last_o chapter_n of_o his_o gospel_n and_o the_o last_o verse_n so_o among_o many_o thing_n this_o be_v one_o which_o yet_o be_v do_v we_o may_v safe_o conclude_v because_o it_o will_v be_v a_o mighty_a presumption_n for_o the_o disciple_n to_o usurp_v a_o power_n of_o baptise_v without_o a_o commission_n and_o that_o they_o do_v baptize_v be_v apparent_a i_o therefore_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v do_v but_o when_o be_v not_o apparent_a and_o now_o let_v we_o examine_v what_o be_v do_v sect_n vi_o concern_v baptism_n this_o question_n seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v very_o unsatisfactory_o handle_v by_o those_o who_o have_v treat_v of_o it_o to_o understand_v what_o can_v be_v comprehend_v in_o it_o conceive_v with_o i_o that_o there_o come_v a_o threefold_a baptism_n in_o consideration_n in_o this_o question_n the_o baptism_n which_o we_o be_v baptize_v with_o which_o in_o express_a term_n be_v ordain_v by_o our_o saviour_n after_o his_o resurrection_n the_o baptism_n of_o john_n baptist_n and_o the_o baptism_n of_o the_o disciple_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o residence_n upon_o earth_n the_o baptism_n of_o john_n and_o the_o baptism_n of_o our_o saviour_n have_v be_v dispute_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o

think_v that_o he_o causeless_o reject_v the_o father_n with_o a_o sleight_n in_o his_o institutes_n when_o certain_o in_o itself_o the_o question_n be_v of_o no_o great_a use_n to_o any_o design_n of_o faith_n or_o piety_n i_o will_v not_o trouble_v the_o controversy_n now_o but_o shall_v be_v ready_a to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o it_o to_o any_o man_n that_o shall_v require_v it_o but_o

incorporate_v into_o his_o mystical_a body_n or_o as_o he_o speak_v plant_v verse_n 5._o be_v baptize_v into_o his_o death_n by_o the_o same_o phrase_n incorporate_v into_o his_o death_n dead_a with_o he_o and_o this_o enforce_v the_o four_o verse_n therefore_o we_o be_v bury_v with_o he_o by_o baptism_n into_o death_n if_o we_o be_v incorporate_v into_o he_o by_o baptism_n if_o incorporate_a into_o his_o death_n by_o baptism_n than_o we_o must_v be_v bury_v with_o he_o and_o then_o we_o must_v be_v raise_v with_o he_o now_o this_o mystery_n can_v not_o effect_v until_o our_o saviour_n death_n and_o resurrection_n for_o although_o i_o doubt_v not_o that_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v powerful_a to_o the_o save_n of_o believer_n which_o believe_v in_o his_o death_n to_o come_v before_o it_o come_v yet_o it_o be_v a_o diverse_a way_n of_o faith_n which_o look_v upon_o christ_n to_o come_v and_o christ_n already_o come_v and_o again_o as_o the_o faith_n be_v diverse_a so_o the_o mean_n to_o get_v this_o faith_n and_o the_o covenant_n by_o which_o christ_n be_v impar●ed_v be_v diverse_a now_o this_o baptism_n look_v upon_o christ_n dead_a it_o can_v not_o therefore_o in_o this_o notion_n be_v apply_v to_o they_o before_o his_o death_n and_o after_o his_o death_n too_o and_o to_o confirm_v this_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o the_o very_a apostle_n themselves_o be_v slow_a in_o the_o belief_n of_o this_o fundamental_a truth_n the_o death_n and_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n until_o after_o it_o be_v do_v as_o you_o may_v observe_v luke_n 24._o 25._o where_o our_o

believe_v that_o they_o preach_v they_o to_o other_o and_o then_o not_o baptize_v other_o into_o it_o these_o reason_n be_v not_o observe_v by_o bellarmine_n or_o gamacheus_n or_o estius_n or_o any_o other_o i_o meet_v with_o who_o handle_v this_o gamacheus_n in_o general_a affirm_v something_o to_o this_o last_o argument_n that_o christ_n death_n be_v powerful_a to_o the_o salvation_n of_o soul_n even_o before_o it_o be_v which_o i_o grant_v but_o not_o by_o that_o mean_n which_o take_v his_o death_n for_o a_o pattern_n or_o a_o stock_n in_o which_o it_o must_v be_v graft_v for_o the_o graft_n suppose_v the_o stock_n and_o the_o thing_n draw_v the_o pattern_n to_o such_o mean_n as_o be_v type_n or_o figure_n of_o christ_n to_o come_v not_o impression_n or_o sign_n of_o christ_n already_o come_v again_o he_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v enough_o without_o his_o death_n if_o he_o institute_v such_o a_o power_n but_o it_o must_v be_v prove_v then_o that_o he_o do_v institute_v such_o a_o power_n for_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o whatsoever_o covenant_n god_n make_v that_o he_o will_v perform_v and_o since_o god_n have_v please_v to_o make_v such_o expression_n of_o this_o baptism_n as_o have_v their_o foundation_n upon_o his_o death_n it_o be_v not_o probable_a nor_o can_v we_o be_v easy_o induce_v to_o think_v that_o he_o shall_v do_v it_o without_o his_o death_n another_o answer_n he_o have_v which_o bear_v some_o show_n of_o prosecution_n of_o the_o first_o argument_n that_o although_o baptism_n be_v not_o complete_a omni_fw-la ex_fw-la parte_fw-la in_o all_o circumstance_n in_o respect_n of_o its_o remote_a effect_n which_o be_v to_o open_v the_o gate_n of_o heaven_n until_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n yet_o it_o be_v essential_o perfect_a to_o the_o production_n of_o original_a grace_n which_o be_v its_o near_a and_o formal_a effect_n i_o reply_v neither_o can_v it_o do_v this_o for_o since_o circumcision_n be_v yet_o on_o foot_n which_o have_v that_o effect_v proper_a to_o it_o these_o two_o have_v not_o both_o the_o same_o operation_n at_o the_o same_o time_n and_o again_o since_o the_o introduction_n of_o original_a or_o any_o grace_n must_v be_v by_o the_o death_n and_o merit_n of_o christ_n man_n must_v receive_v this_o blessing_n by_o that_o and_o that_o communicate_v by_o baptism_n for_o although_o these_o mercy_n be_v give_v by_o other_o covenant_n before_o his_o death_n which_o relate_v to_o his_o death_n to_o come_v yet_o not_o by_o those_o which_o refer_v to_o his_o death_n pass_v as_o this_o complant_n

argument_n until_o i_o study_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o which_o be_v what_o mean_v all_o our_o saviour_n covenant_n and_o promise_n concern_v baptism_n before_o his_o death_n which_o be_v understand_v
