Arch-Bishop of Canterhury Dr. John Tillotson ●●●h in his Sermon upon 2 Tim. 2.19 Antiently those ●ho were baptized put off their Garments which signified the putting off the Body of Sin and were immersed and buried in the Water to represent the Death of Sin and then did rise up again out of the Water to signify their entrance upon a new Life and to these Customs the Apostle alludes Rom. 6.4 Also Dr. Fowler the present Bishop of Gloucester in his ●ook of the Scope of the Christian Religion interprets this saying of the great Apostle Rom. 6.4 as follows Christians being plunged into the Water in Baptism signifieth their undertaking and obliging themselves in a Spiritual Sense to die and be buried with Jesus Christ which Death and Burial consist in an utter renouncing and forsaking of all their Sins that so answerably to his Resurrection they may live a holy and godly Life Moreover Dr. Jer. Taylor late Bishop of Down in his Doctor Dubitantium lib. 3. cap. 4. saith thus The Custom of the Antient Church was not Sprinkling but Immersion in pursuance of the Sense of the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 both in the Commandment and Example of our Blessed Saviour And this saith he agrees with the Mystery of the Sacrament it self for we are buried with him in Baptism saith the Apostle The old Man is buried and drowned i● the Immersion under Water and when the baptized Person is lifted up from the Water it represents the Resurrection of the new Man to newness of Life To this I shall only add that other Divine Testimony o● the Apostle Paul Col. 2.12 Buried with him in Baptism wherein also ye are risen with him through the Faith of the Operation of God who hath raised him from the Dead And shall now proceed to the third Particular viz. 3. It doth appear that Dipping is the right way of Baptizing from the Practice of the first Baptizers The first mention of this Ordinance of Holy Baptism we have in Mat. 3.1 where John the Dipper is mentioned And in ver 6. it is written And were baptized of him in Jordan confessing their Sins The Greek word there is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which is in English They were dipped plunged or overwhelmed For it is from the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to dip c. as I have already shewed In the 7th Verse the word is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which signifie the same In the 11th Verse 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to dip c. In Verse the 13th 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to be dipped The Word is used again in ver 14. And the same also in the Passive Voice is used in ver 16. where it is said And Jesus when he was baptized c. And the following words do make that Sense evident for when he was dipped by John in the River of Jordan it is said He went up straightway out of the Water Which implies beyond contradiction That he was in the River and over whelmed with the Water according to the proper and native signification of the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 And if you will read the 5th and 6th Verses of this Chapter you will find there Multitudes thus baptized by John the Baptist or Dipper for it 's said Then went out to him Jerusalem and all Judea and all the Region round about Joran and were baptized of him in Jordan The same is also testified in that parallel place Mark 1.4 5. and the same Greek words used there as in Mat. 3. which I have above recited And in Mark 1.9 Jesus was baptized of John in Jordan The Greek is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 into Jordan Now what Sense would this be Jesus was sprinkled into Jordan But to say Jesus was dipt into the River of Jordan is good Sense as well as a great Truth Diodate upon Mat. 3.6 saith They were plunged in the ●●der And the Assembly in their Annotations say Dipping in Jordan But because they are noted by Mr. Wells 〈◊〉 his Answer I shall forbear reciting them and proceed 〈◊〉 other Authors Cajetan saith Christ was baptized not by Sprinkling but 〈◊〉 Dipping him into the Water And Piscator on John 3.23 〈◊〉 Baptism was administred by dipping the whole Body in ●●●er Mr. Mede on Titus 3.5 saith There was no such thing as Sprinkling used in Baptism in the Apostles Time nor many Ages after them It is also the Observation of that late Learned and Pious ●●●aister of Christ Mr. John Gosnold in his Book intituled 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 That Mr. John Calvin up and down in his Works doth often with many others in our Days confess That the Antient manner of Baptism in the Primitive Times was by dipping the whole Body under Water And also confesseth that the Church hath assumed this Liberty to her self of using Sprinkling in the room thereof The same Author also observes That the Translators themselves never so much as once in all the New Testament renders it by Sprinkling There is another Word for that which they constantly translate to sprinkle to wit 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Rantizo whereby it 's evident Rantism is not Baptism Sprinkling is not Dipping Besides in all the Places that I have met with where nothing of the stress of this Controversy depends our Translators have every where rendred 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 c. to dip for instance in Rev. 19.13 He had his Vesture dipt in Blood and in Mat. 26.23 He that dippeth his Hand with me in the Dish Luke 16.24 That he may dip the Tip of his Finger in later And in John 13.26 it is twice used 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 dipped 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and when he had dipped Jesus answered He it is to whom I shall give a Sop when I have dipped it And when he had dipped the Sop he gave it to Judas ●●eariot c. Moreover if we will but consider the Places where this Holy Ordinance was administred by the first Baptizers it will greatly elucidate this Truth For it was not practised in the Temple nor in their Synagogues nor yet in private Houses in which it might have been done more commodiously if sprinkling a 〈◊〉 Drops of Water upon their Faces would have sufficed But they baptized in the River of Jordan and other Places where there was much Water because plunging the whole Body under Water did require it In John 3.23 And John also 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 was dipping in Enon near to Salim because there was 〈◊〉 Water there and they came and were 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 dipped Now here we have the Reason given why J●●● baptized in this place i. e. Because there was much Water But if he had not plunged them into the Water but on●● sprinkled them with a few Drops thereof this Reason 〈◊〉 been without Foundation For as Cornelius à Lapide 〈◊〉 serves A very little Water would have served to have sprinkled Thousands But their manner of baptizing being to dip
