the_o new_a testament_n promise_v to_o the_o believer_n forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o regeneration_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n &_o add_v a_o outward_a sign_n which_o in_o the_o scripture_n be_v

themselves_o for_o who_o cause_n the_o sacrament_n be_v institute_v doubtless_o for_o this_o cause_n that_o when_o we_o do_v use_v the_o outward_a sign_n we_o shall_v lift_v up_o the_o eye_n of_o

of_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o sacrament_n in_o general_a we_o may_v now_o be_v the_o easily_o bring_v unto_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n of_o which_o i_o will_v now_o speak_v in_o order_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n that_o we_o may_v the_o more_o profitable_o understand_v the_o reason_n of_o our_o baptism_n let_v we_o here_o in_o the_o

testimony_n or_o seal_v of_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n toward_o the_o baptise_a it_o be_v therefore_o to_o be_v note_v that_o we_o which_o be_v clothe_v with_o christ_n through_o baptism_n be_v grateful_a and_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n through_o christ_n whereunto_o paul_n also_o have_v respect_n ephe._n 1._o when_o he_o say_v we_o be_v belove_v 3._o in_o the_o belove_a yea_o god_n

the_o father_n we_o which_o be_v baptize_v and_o ingraff_v into_o his_o body_n by_o baptism_n may_v know_v that_o we_o have_v god_n merciful_a and_o please_v through_o christ_n therefore_o all_o the_o

i_o baptize_v you_o with_o water_n but_o among_o you_o stand_v one_o which_o baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n appear_v in_o the_o shape_n of_o a_o dove_n the_o same_o

out_o of_o which_o the_o dove_n be_v send_v return_v bring_v a_o branch_n of_o a_o olive_n hereof_o therefore_o we_o make_v up_o the_o definition_n of_o baptism_n in_o this_o manner_n baptism_n be_v

of_o grace_n we_o have_v prove_v before_o for_o it_o be_v a_o outward_a seal_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n testify_a that_o the_o party_n which_o be_v baptize_v be_v sanctify_v and_o as_o a_o

of_o christ_n it_o teach_v we_o four_o thing_n namely_o what_o he_o have_v do_v why_o he_o have_v do_v what_o he_o do_v to_o they_o which_o be_v baptize_v and_o moreover_o what_o he_o will_v do_v unto_o they_o how_o then_o do_v baptism_n teach_v we_o what_o christ_n have_v do_v it_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o history_n of_o the_o three_o day_n parasceve_v namely_o of_o the_o day_n of_o

our_o mediator_n have_v take_v unto_o he_o our_o flesh_n for_o the_o flesh_n which_o we_o do_v now_o bear_v about_o we_o subject_v to_o corruption_n be_v already_o 15._o raise_v up_o in_o christ_n

so_o that_o be_v like_a unto_o christ_n our_o brother_n we_o may_v enjoy_v with_o he_o eternal_a joy_n and_o salvation_n this_o thing_n paul_n purpose_v to_o show_v 1._o cor._n 15._o when_o he_o say_v

as_o in_o adam_n all_o man_n dye_v so_o in_o christ_n shall_v all_o man_n be_v make_v alive_a therefore_o when_o soever_o temptation_n fall_v in_o willing_a to_o drive_v we_o to_o doubt_v of_o the_o

whereby_o it_o be_v show_v that_o it_o be_v high_o needful_a that_o the_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n shall_v have_v be_v man_n and_o have_v take_v humane_a nature_n unto_o he_o and_o in_o the_o same_o be_v make_v like_o unto_o us._n let_v we_o continual_o in_o our_o heart_n bear_v about_o with_o we_o these_o cause_n that_o we_o may_v be_v stir_v up_o to_o earnest_a thankfulness_n towards_o god_n which_o will_v have_v his_o son_n when_o he_o be_v scotfree_a to_o become_v man_n and_o very_o a_o poor_a man_n that_o through_o his_o poverty_n we_o may_v be_v scotfree_a in_o the_o possession_n of_o salvation_n and_o life_n everlasting_a of_o the_o four_o point_n or_o chapter_n the_o four_o thing_n which_o i_o say_v be_v to_o be_v consider_v in_o messiah_n be_v that_o he_o be_v one_o person_n and_o why_o this_o thing_n be_v needful_a that_o our_o mediator_n be_v one_o person_n beside_o many_o other_o these_o thing_n do_v confirm_v john_n 1_o the_o word_n become_v flesh_n

thing_n even_o as_o the_o symbol_n of_o athanasius_n have_v in_o this_o manner_n the_o right_a faith_n be_v that_o we_o believe_v and_o confess_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n of_o

man_n be_v one_o christ_n but_o why_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o mediator_n shall_v be_v one_o person_n and_o not_o two_o as_o there_o be_v in_o he_o two_o distinct_a nature_n there_o be_v many_o weighty_a reason_n certain_a of_o the_o chief_a of_o which_o it_o may_v suffice_v to_o note_v in_o this_o place_n first_o our_o mediator_n god_n and_o man_n must_v be_v one_o person_n that_o he_o may_v make_v god_n and_o man_n one_z therefore_o he_o be_v join_v to_o the_o father_n by_o his_o true_a god_n head_n &_o unto_o man_n by_o true_a manhood_n that_o so_o he_o may_v couple_v both_o together_o the_o second_o cause_n the_o mediator_n shall_v bring_v nothing_o to_o pass_v between_o the_o party_n at_o variance_n if_o he_o cleave_v to_o the_o one_o and_o differ_v from_o the_o other_o wherefore_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o the_o mediator_n by_o a_o certain_a necessity_n shall_v be_v join_v to_o both_o party_n to_o god_n therefore_o who_o by_o our_o sin_n be_v offend_v our_o mediator_n be_v join_v by_o true_a divinity_n and_o unto_o man_z he_o be_v associate_v by_o true_a humanity_n that_o through_o the_o society_n which_o he_o have_v with_o both_o part_n he_o may_v
