conclusion_n there_o be_v not_o one_o of_o these_o action_n in_o this_o temporal_a deliverance_n but_o it_o signify_v and_o seal_v such_o action_n to_o the_o believe_a israelite_n as_o both_o confirm_v their_o faith_n in_o the_o covenant_n and_o set_v forward_o their_o salvation_n merit_v by_o the_o messiah_n and_o so_o still_o lead_v they_o to_o christ_n as_o in_o these_o example_n 1._o god_n in_o lead_v his_o people_n to_o canaan_n make_v they_o a_o safe_a way_n through_o the_o sea_n signify_v to_o their_o faith_n that_o god_n offer_v they_o jesus_n christ_n the_o promise_a

true_a celestial_a canaan_n and_o by_o he_o as_o by_o a_o firm_a way_n to_o walk_v forward_o to_o eternal_a life_n 2._o when_o they_o see_v the_o same_o jehovah_n to_o divide_v the_o sea_n into_o

the_o sea_n return_v to_o his_o force_n again_o both_o to_o save_v themselves_o and_o to_o overthrow_v the_o egyptian_n it_o signify_v to_o their_o faith_n the_o action_n of_o christ_n free_v his_o elect_a from_o all_o spiritual_a force_n and_o army_n pursue_v they_o as_o also_o by_o a_o mighty_a overthrow_n swallow_v up_o and_o devour_a in_o the_o bottomless_a sea_n of_o his_o wrath_n all_o those_o that_o come_v out_o and_o stand_v against_o they_o iii_o conclusion_n there_o be_v no_o evangelicall_n blessing_n by_o christ_n seal_v to_o we_o by_o baptism_n which_o be_v not_o signify_v and_o seal_v to_o they_o in_o the_o red_a sea_n so_o as_o christ_n be_v as_o true_o represent_v to_o they_o as_o to_o we_o though_o not_o so_o clear_o and_o the_o truth_n and_o substance_n of_o his_o

that_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n alone_o save_v and_o defend_v the_o people_n of_o god_n from_o eternal_a death_n and_o damnation_n what_o can_v be_v more_o plain_o signify_v by_o the_o water_n of_o the_o red_a sea_n save_v israel_n from_o present_a death_n and_o destruction_n 2._o baptism_n signify_v to_o we_o that_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n in_o which_o red_a sea_n all_o believer_n must_v be_v baptize_v there_o be_v die_v and_o a_o burial_n unto_o sin_n and_o a_o rise_n unto_o newness_n of_o life_n what_o can_v be_v more_o plain_o signify_v by_o the_o baptism_n of_o the_o father_n in_o the_o red_a sea_n who_o be_v after_o a_o sort_n bury_v in_o the_o water_n but_o after_o raise_v to_o the_o shore_n and_o restore_v to_o land_n and_o life_n 3._o by_o the_o benefit_n of_o

and_o repair_v and_o now_o new_a motion_n desire_n affection_n be_v stir_v up_o and_o preserve_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o believer_n what_o can_v be_v more_o express_o signify_v to_o the_o father_n by_o the_o overthrow_n of_o pharaoh_n and_o his_o host_n in_o the_o red_a sea_n and_o the_o escape_n of_o the_o israelite_n safe_a and_o sound_a 4._o when_o they_o do_v see_v themselves_o by_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o red_a sea_n free_v from_o pharaoh_n servitude_n how_o easy_o may_v they_o gather_v that_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n every_o believer_n of_o jew_n and_o gentile_n be_v free_v from_o the_o slavery_n of_o hellish_a pharaoh_n and_o all_o his_o army_n of_o sin_n and_o corruption_n and_o when_o they_o do_v see_v how_o the_o egyptian_n once_o dead_a and_o slay_v can_v hurt_v they_o no_o more_o how_o can_v they_o but_o gather_v that_o all_o the_o army_n of_o sin_n once_o remit_v and_o bury_v in_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n can_v no_o more_o rise_v up_o to_o
