answer_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o sacrament_n we_o have_v usual_o consider_v three_o thing_n in_o sacrament_n the_o outward_a visible_a sign_n the_o thing_n signify_v thereby_o and_o the_o inward_a

be_v very_o many_o and_o vatious_a now_o let_v we_o consider_v your_o notion_n of_o dip_v intend_v by_o christ_n as_o you_o say_v therein_o viz._n to_o show_v forth_o the_o death_n burial_n and_o

the_o sprinkle_n or_o pour_v out_o of_o water_n than_o dip_v into_o water_n but_o to_o make_v it_o represent_v the_o burial_n of_o christ_n how_o will_v you_o make_v the_o parallel_n let_v we_o try_v how_o thing_n will_v agree_v 1._o here_o be_v water_n whereinto_o the_o subject_n be_v dip_v or_o dowse_v this_o be_v the_o outward_a visible_a sign_n 2._o what_o be_v thereby_o signify_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n can_v be_v here_o the_o thing_n signify_v for_o christ_n be_v not_o bury_v in_o his_o own_o blood_n but_o in_o the_o earth_n then_o the_o thing_n signify_v hereby_o be_v the_o earth_n and_o it_o can_v be_v nothing_o else_o what_o ever_o be_v the_o inward_a and_o spiritual_a grace_n now_o i_o offer_v where_o do_v we_o ever_o find_v water_n in_o scripture_n to_o represent_v the_o earth_n it_o do_v frequent_o sign_n fie_o the_o spirit_n the_o blood_n of_o christ_n the_o pure_a word_n of_o god_n whereby_o man_n be_v make_v clean_o when_o they_o be_v pollute_v refresh_v when_o thirsty_a etc._n etc._n but_o never_o do_v it_o signify_v the_o earth_n as_o it_o must_v here_o

according_a to_o your_o notion_n of_o it_o this_o be_v to_o show_v forth_o the_o burial_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o this_o a_o earthly_a and_o dull_a interpretation_n representation_n and_o

the_o outward_a visible_a sign_n 2._o what_o must_v be_v signify_v thereby_o it_o can_v be_v the_o blood_n of_o christ._n for_o as_o christ_n be_v not_o bury_v in_o his_o own_o blood_n so_o he_o do_v
