See Isa 32.15 Acts 2.17 18. 10.45 Ezek. 39.29 After the manner of rain or sprinkling Isa 52.15 Now some have the Spirit poured on them in a greater measure than others some were in the Church Apostles some Prophets some Evangelists some Pastors some Teachers and all differing in the measure of the Spirit received yet all were baptized of the Spirit yea the whole Church were by one Spirit baptized into one Body though some but Babes in Christ yet all had the Baptism of the Spirit Now therefore who dare presume to limit the Spiritual Baptism to say none were baptized with the Spirit but them that had the greatest measure After this manner in respect of measure are we to understand the Baptism of Suffering one suffering more another less as for example some suffer reproaches Heb. 13.13 others suffer reproaches and loss of goods others suffer reproaches loss of goods and liberty Esay 51.14 Rev. 1.9 2.10 Others suffer all the aforesaid and loss of life Rev. 12.11 Acts 12.2 Then who dare presume to say that they that did not suffer in the greatest measure as loss of Life did not partake of the Baptism of Suffering Now then Water-Baptism being one and the same Word in signification must be understood to agree with the former Baptism especially of the Spiritual Baptism after which manner the Lord himself baptized the Children of Israel in the Cloud and in the Sea When the Clouds poured forth water upon them Psal 77.17 yet they went through the Sea on dry foot The manner of which Baptism the Apostle Paul would not have the Church of God ignorant of saying All our Fathers were baptized unto Moses in the Cloud and in the Sea 1 Cor. 10.2 Surely the manner of John's Baptism in Jordan and Enon and Philip on the Eunuch was after this manner in casting water after the manner of Rain or Sprinkling on them for Israel was not deprived of any sense when they were baptized in the Sea as of seeing hearing and breathing c. contrary to the Order of God's Creation as these in our days that are baptized by dipping Neither were they in the Sea nor in Jordan as we read of stript of their Apparel to one thin Covering which is not modest seemly nor of a good report for a Woman to appear before any Man besides her Husband in such a dress under the pretence they cannot be baptized with their Garments on surely if one may cover that part of the Body that he believes must be baptized with one Covering he may with more for without doubt that part of the Body that is to be baptized ought to have no Covering on it for if it hath a Covering they baptize the Covering and not the Flesh For as the Face representeth the whole Person as Hagar fled from the Face of Sarah Gen. 16.6 8. that was from her Person and Moses fled from the Face of Pharaoh was the like So likewise the sorrow of Man's labour which Sin brought is signified by the sweat of the Face Gen. 3. Likewise when Jacob set his Face to go to Mount Gilead from Laban it represented his Affection and Actions with desire So when Jacob sent a Present to Esau it was to appease him that is his Face Gen. 32.20 So when Lot intreated for Zoar Gen. 19.21 God is said to accept his Face in granting his request So then the Face that representeth the Person which being bare in the Red Sea was that part of the Body that was baptized washed or sprinkled And thus the Word in Water Baptism agreeth with the Spiritual by pouring forth or sprinkling and as the former Seal of the same everlasting Covenant of the Gospel Gen. 17. Heb. 13.20 was set on that Part of the Body the Instrument of Generation to teach them Regeneration of Nature even of the whole Man born in Sin Psal 51.7 And that the derivation of the Covenant might be to the Seed of the Faithful who are thereby holy Ezra 9.2 And though the Lips and Ears are said to be uncircumcised in some respects Exod. 6.3 Jer. 6.10 yet the whole Body is said to be circumcised as being done on a part signifying the whole Even so in Baptism Water is cast upon the Face as a Sign or Signal of Death or that we were worthy to die as when the Servants of King Ahasuerus understood by the King's words that Death was determined against Haman they a covered his Face as a Signal of Death Even so by reason of Sin we come short of the b glory of God and our Faces are vailed or covered under the c condemnation of the Law until Christ by his Baptism fulfilled the Righteousness of the Law for us In sign whereof have we water cast upon our faces as a sign that we were not only worthy to die and so e baptized for the dead but that Christ by his Death hath f washed us from our sins in his Blood so that by his g Righteousness imputed to us we with unvailed or h open faces behold the Glory of the Lord and are changed into the same Image from Glory to Glory by the Spirit of the Lord. a Esth 7.8 b Rom. 3.23 c 2 Cor. 3.7 8. d Mat. 3.15 e 1 Cor. 15.29 f Rev. 1.5 g 1 Cor. 1.30 h 2 Cor. 3.18 Moreover Satan hath yet used in these last and perilous days wherein Deceivers grow worse and worse deceiving and being deceived another slight to peryert the Gospel of Christ in contending about words to no profit saith the Apostle that is to limit or confine the signification of the word baptize to one signification in the English tongue only to dip the whole body in water and account all other senses unlawful contrary to all the Learned that have translated the Scriptures into English or wrote Dictionaries and also contrary to the Analogy of Faith in the Scriptures Therefore the Learned in translating the holy Scriptures durst not limit many words but rendred them in such terms as the Godly may by the help of the Spirit of God rightly divide the true sense and meaning of the same As for example the Greek word Ecclesia for Church signifying few or many is rendred Congregation or gathering together by holy Covenant in the Name of Christ to become the Lord's People who are sometimes a little flock Luke 12. even but two or three Mut. 18.20 sometimes three thousand and more Acts 4.4 Yet both few and many are a Church comprehended in the word Ecclesia and so in the Hebrew word Kahal for Church Likewise the Greek word for Worship Latria and Latrevo sometimes taken largely when in Worship all God's * Ordinances are persormed and sometimes strictly when only † to bow down and supplicate unto God is Worship Again the word Saviour sometimes signifieth Christ Luk. 2.11 Sometimes he makes those Ministers as Instruments to save persons by his Doctrine Obad. v. 21. 1 Tim. 4.16 So likewise the word Elohim sometimes is

Testament we are taught the Doctrine of Christ's Oblation Rev. 11.1 Heb. 13.10 So likewise from the Altar of Incense the Doctrine of his Mediatorship Rev. 8.5 So the Passover to the Supper 1 Cor. 5.7 8. Circumcision to Baptism Col. 2.11 the Pillars to the Teachers Gal. 2.9 And when the Tabernacle is mentioned it is a sign of God's dwelling with his People Rev. 21.3 Also the Candlesticks signify the Churches Rev. 1.20 And so likewise the 7th-day-Sabbath to our Rest in Christ Heb. 4.10 From all which Shadows and many more we may draw spiritual Comfort forasmuch as our Faith is not built only on the Doctrine of the Apostles but also upon the Doctrine of the Prophets Christ being held forth to be the chief Corner-Stone in both as they are expounded by Christ and his Apostles And so if the Lord open the Eyes of our Understanding as he did his Disciples Luk. 24.45 we shall behold the wondrous things in God's Law Psal 119.18 Therefore Christ beginning at Moses and in all the Prophets expounded the Scriptures in all things concerning himself which until the vail be taken away from off the eyes and heart none can steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished 2 Cor. 3.13 neither do understand how Christ is the end of the Law for Righteousness to all that believe Rom. 10.4 yet not one tittle useless but all Scripture is profitable for Doctrine for Reproof for Correction for Instruction in Righteousness able to make the Man of God perfect in all understanding in the mystery of the same 2 Tim. 3.16 as in that mystery why Moses must be honoured above all other Prophets to be buried of God himself Because the Law of Shadows was given by the hand of Moses from God therefore God would have the Shadows of his Son honourably buried by the Lord Jesus who buried all Shadows in the Law with the time himself resting in the grave the whole time of the seventh-day Sabbath so buried all Moses's Shadows in the Law And therefore in this sense is it written The Law was given by Moses but Grace and Truth came by Jesus Christ. So that by Grace we are saved in Christ and not by the works of the Law as the seventh-day Keepers expect in the New-Testament A form of words saying Remember to keep holy the first day as it was said in the Law to keep the seventh day These with Thomas are weak in the Faith that must feel by the sense of Nature before they will believe and so remain under the Curse and not the Blessing by exercising Faith and not resting on the letter of the Law in expecting a literal Commandment in the Gospel for all our belief and practice and so make the Gospel a secondary Law of Works when all Christians ought to stand on a better foundation and to know that the things chiefly necessary to be specified in the New Testament were the exhibiting the Messiah in the flesh for the redemption of his People with the manner of his Birth Life Doctrine Suffering Death Burial Resurrection and Ascension and sitting at the right-hand of God with the calling of the Gentiles to the Faith with their Infants to be fellow-heirs with the believing Jews and their children forasmuch as the Promises in the Prophets belonged to them with the abolishing the Ordinances with the time in the Law in the literal performance as aforesaid and now to follow the footsteps and examples of Christ and his Apostles who have established by their practices in the Churches new Ordinances new Ministers Maintenance Time and Place for Gospel-Worship c. as we have proved before and that the Apostles with the Churches did keep the first-day of the week for Gospel-Worship so did the Christians some hundreds of years after as is shewed in Anno Christi 111. Ignatius in Epistola ad Magnes after the Sabbath or setting aside the Sabbath as some translate it Let every one that loves Christ keep holy the Lord's Day the Queen of Days the Resurrection day the highest of all Days Anno 150. Justin Martyr Apol. 2. saith Vpon the day call'd Sunday or Lord's Day all that abide within the Cities or Villages do meet together in some place where the Records of the Apostles and Writings of the Prophets are read unto us then standing up together we send up our Prayers to Heaven which being ended there is delivered unto us Bread and Wine And the richest sort every one as his good will is contributeth something towards the relief of the poor Brethren Anno 160. Dionysius Bishop of Corinth in his Epistle to Soter Bishop of Rome Euseb Histor Eccles lib. 4. cap. 22. saith We have spent or passed through the Lords Day to day an holy Day Anno 226. Origen Exod. 16. Homil. 7. saith Vpon the Lords Day the Lord always rains Manna from Heaven namely the heavenly Truth of the Word read and preached to the People All which Testimonies and many more shew that the Christians before Constantine's time did keep the first Day for the Gospel-Sabbath and not as some have said that the first Day was not kept till Constantine's time which is a gross Mistake for Constantine did not reign till about the Year of our Lord 316. And because as is likely the first Day then as now among Christians was prophaned with Mens corrupt Minds in doing their worldly business and neglect of God's Service therefore did Constantine the Emperor as our King hath now sign an Act or Edict for the better keeping or restraining Abuses in Civil things on the Lord's Day yet the Edict in Constantines time did not any more than this Act in our time doth prove by its then setting forth that the Lord's Day was not kept before as Authors afore named shew before Constantine's time and in our Days before the Act came forth the Lord's Day was kept holy a Sabbath to the Lord though by many much prophaned And thus we see how greatly some that go by the Name of Seventh-Day Men are mistaken to say that the first Day of the VVeek was not kept for Gospel-VVorship till Constantines time Moreover though the seventh Day in the fourth Commandment is abolished and the first Day come in the place yet the Holiness remains to the first as it did to the seventh Day by virtue of the fourth Commandment As for Example If the same Scriptures in the Law commandeth the Worshippers under the Gospel to be holy as God is holy because the Covenant by which the Lord was a Husband to them was holy 1 Pet. 1.15 16. Levit. 11.44 Then the same Scriptures that commanded the Time for Worship under the Law commands the Time for Gospel-Worship to be kept now holy under the Gospel Esay 58.13 14. Moreover as there was a Time when the Seventh-day Sabbath did begin so there is a Time when the Gospel-Sabbath taketh its beginning And because many People in divers Nations differ much about the Time as
