A79488	A Christian plea for Christians baptisme: raised from the grave of apostasie. or, a short treatise, being a reproof of some things written by A. R. in his treatise, intituled, The vanitie of childish baptisme. In the answer whereof, the lawfulnesse of infants baptisme is defended, the sufficiency of our baptisme received in the state of apostasie, shewed: and the deficiencie of the arguments brought against it manifested, by sufficient grounds and reasons drawn from the sweet fountains of holy Scripture. / [by] S.C.

act of crueltie Egyptian like to have dipped him over head and eares in cold water which thing I suppose you hold For you cry out for dipping the whole man all over in water and why will not the same rule which you have for dipping every part serve for washing or sprinkling the same parts O but say you Baptisme in the Church of England is not Gods ordinance because it is administred by sprinkling or casting water upon the subject you except against infusing or powring the water upon and therewith washing the subject * See A.R. p. 9 li 16. p. 1● l. 3. But if you did but consider and read the Scriptures with understanding and good judgement you might perceive this manner to be right according to the rules and coherences of Scripture for sprinkling or putting water upon persons in baptisme hath been not onely an ancient custome but an act of Gods own acting and ordaining God opened the windows of heaven and powred down water in the time of Noah and this was his manner of baptising then And God himself baptised the children of Israel in the Red sea not by overwhelming them with water as he did the Egyptians but by sprinkling or infusing water upon them g Psal 16.17.19.20 and yet Paul gives it the denomination of baptisme h 1 Cor. 10.1.2 and therefore though baptisme be administred by sprinkling it is the very right baptisme And surely you have not well considered or at least not explained your self in saying that the washing of cups is not a putting or infusing water upon the cups i See A. R. p. 10. li. 21. 22.23 If you meane that it cannot be done by imposing water upon them I affirm and will prove that it may be done by washing without dipping whether they be cups or platters But you should have considered that persons wash their faces by putting water thereon this common experience teacheth us so the Prophet Eliah washed his hands by water powred upon thē * 2 King 3.11 done by his own servant Elisha and in reason a man may with more ease lesse trouble dip his hands thē his face yet you may see the Prophet made clean his hands by having water powred upon them And therfore if reason it self would not teach us the Scripture would that cups may be wash d by powring water upon them and made as clean yea cleaner then if they were dipt without cleansing or washing but by this objection of yours you would intimate that so farre as you dip so farre you wash or else of what weight is your speech of washing cups by putting them in water after your manner of dipping Again we may consider that sprinkling was appointed of God in the time of the Law the ashes of the Red heifer mixed with living water * Numb 19. was for this use of sprinkling the people And I suppose you cannot deny but ou● baptisme answereth that as well as the baptisme of Noah in the A●k or Israel in the Sea And I doubt not but that the baptisme of Noah was a resemblance of our buriall with Christ neither dare I affirme otherwise but that the baptisme that now is is a like figure answerable to that but Peter telleth us it is not the washing away ●f the filth of the flesh but it is a baptisme which saveth us by the resurrection of Jesus Christ 1 Pet. 3 20 21 And sprinkling and washing hath a similitude with the death buriall and the resurrection of Christ for those that are sprinkled and washed with the blood of Christ are dead unto sinne and do live unto righteousnesse The Law was their Schoolmaster to lead them unto Christ but sprinkling was a part of the Law an action of Gods appointment therefore it was to lead them unto Christ and if we do but observe we shall understand that the Red heifer * Num. 19 was a figure of Christ the killing of it and burning it on the Altar signified the death of Christ and his bitter passion the Ashes being to be mixed with living water and so that water to sprinkle the people set all this forth unto them It was to teach them that the blood of Christ was onely sufficient to purge sinne it was therefore to teach them mortification of the old man a dying to sinne and a living to righteousnesse through the mercie of God and the Messias who was then to come yea and it did also really figure out unto them Gods gracious acceptation of them and of that sacrifice for them for so the turning of the burnt offering unto ashes did signifie * Psal 20.3 and so the sprinkling was to put them in mind of the same and whereas it was mixed with living water and so imposed upon them it was to teach them that so their sinnes should be washed away through Christ and to this the Apostle alludeth where he mentioneth pure water Now he that is a self-denying Christian dead unto sin and so mortified he is buried with Christ by a baptisme without hands And when he apprehends Gods gracious love and mercy and free acceptation of him through Christ he may wel be said to be risen with Christ all these things the sprinkling was to teach them to behold Christs day afarre off And yet you presume to say that sprinkling or washing without dipping hath no similitude with death burying and rising again * Treat A. R p. 11. li. 24.25 But why then doth the Scripture so plentifully set forth our mortification repentance from dead works dying to sin and living to righteousnes under such terms * Heb. 10.22.23 12.24 Eze. 36.25 as washing and sprinkling if sprinkling and washing did not bear out a similitude thereof And why doth the Scripture give that the denomination of baptisme * 1 Cor. 10.1.2 Luk. 12.50 Isa 52.14 which was not done by dipping them or plunging them in the element Surely these things being rightly considered it will evidently appear that the baptisme done by sprinkling and washing is not onely a full resemblance of our mortification or washing from our sinnes and the cleansing of our souls by Christs blood and so a dying to sinne and a living to righteousnesse a 1 Cor. 6.11 a putting on of Christ b Gal. 3.27 c. but also holds forth unto us the death of Christ and his bitter passion c Luk. 12.50 yea self-denyall and forsaking of all for Christs sake as much yea and much more then dipping the whole man without washing can do Yea the Apostle Peter intimateth that the externall baptisme is a washing away of the filth of the flesh holding forth no more then an externall ordinance can hold forth This Peter could speak by experience for he knew that Simon Magus who beleeved outwardly had the outward washing and yet manifested himself afterwards to be in the gall of bitternesse and in the bonds of iniquitie a Act 8.23
