20.14_o for_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n but_o as_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a covenant_n so_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a death_n viz._n a_o first_o and_o second_o

thing_n of_o that_o nature_n in_o the_o sentence_n but_o the_o first_o death_n only_o with_o sorrow_n labour_n and_o such_o like_a thing_n as_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o that_o sin_n and_o first_o we_o may_v read_v the_o threaten_n gen._n 2.17_o in_o these_o word_n but_o of_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a thou_o shall_v not_o eat_v of_o it_o for_o in_o the_o day_n

of_o the_o soul_n for_o ever_o or_o a_o second_o death_n because_o adam_n die_v not_o in_o his_o body_n or_o the_o bodily_a death_n that_o day_n which_o he_o sin_v but_o live_v many_o day_n afterward_o answ_n in_o answer_n to_o this_o objection_n consider_v these_o two_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v that_o one_o day_n with_o the_o lord_n be_v as_o a_o thousand_o year_n and_o a_o thousand_o

32._o and_o thus_o much_o brief_o to_o the_o first_o objection_n the_o second_o be_v object_n 2._o what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o hebrew_n word_n say_v my_o antagonist_n in_o die_v thou_o shall_v die_v answ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o so_o soon_o as_o adam_n have_v sin_v he_o be_v mortalize_v and_o in_o a_o die_a condition_n never_o continue_v in_o one_o stay_n but_o in_o the_o

in_o die_v thou_o shall_v die_v and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o second_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o adam_n sin_n do_v not_o make_v he_o guilty_a of_o nor_o liable_a to_o the_o second_o death_n which_o be_v reas_n 2._o because_o adam_n have_v no_o second_o life_n promise_v neither_o have_v he_o need_v of_o it_o while_o he_o stand_v in_o his_o innocency_n and_o only_o a_o second_o life_n

by_o death_n abolish_v death_n and_o bring_v life_n and_o immortality_n to_o light_n to_o which_o add_v this_o that_o if_o christ_n have_v not_o die_v and_o also_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a there_o have_v be_v no_o resurrection_n and_o then_o have_v no_o second_o life_n there_o have_v be_v no_o second_a death_n for_o as_o by_o man_n come_v death_n so_o by_o man_n come_v the_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a so_o than_o it_o be_v god_n love_v to_o give_v man_n life_n and_o put_v he_o into_o that_o happy_a condition_n in_o paradise_n but_o it_o be_v man_n sin_n that_o bring_v death_n

by_o a_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a to_o a_o second_o life_n and_o happy_a estate_n but_o it_o be_v man_n unsufferable_a perpetual_a wickedness_n which_o bring_v upon_o he_o the_o second_o death_n for_o this_o be_v the_o condemnation_n that_o light_n be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o man_n love_v darkness_n rather_o than_o light_v joh._n 3._o and_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o there_o be_v not_o second_o life_n in_o paradise_n to_o be_v lose_v and_o therefore_o that_o sin_n purchase_v not_o the_o second_o death_n and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o three_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o adam_n sin_n do_v not_o make_v he_o guilty_a of_o the_o second_o death_n which_o be_v reas_n 3._o three_o because_o if_o adam_n have_v be_v guilty_a of_o the_o second_o death_n and_o that_o be_v the_o

second_o death_n be_v because_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o god_n will_v by_o no_o mean_n clear_v the_o guilty_a exod._n 34.7_o but_o if_o god_n do_v send_v christ_n to_o take_v away_o the_o

guilty_a and_o so_o his_o word_n be_v yea_o and_o nay_o and_o not_o yea_o and_o amen_o but_o it_o be_v the_o guilt_n of_o the_o first_o death_n god_n spare_v not_o his_o own_o precious_a one_o but_o we_o must_v needs_o die_v and_o be_v as_o water_v spill_v upon_o the_o ground_n which_o can_v be_v gather_v neither_o do_v god_n respect_v the_o person_n of_o any_o man_n yet_o he_o have_v use_v a_o

so_o give_v way_n to_o mercy_n and_o thus_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o four_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o sin_n commit_v in_o paradise_n make_v not_o adam_n guilty_a and_o liable_a to_o the_o

by_o degression_n i_o pass_v and_o come_v to_o the_o three_o objection_n which_o be_v say_v you_o object_n 3._o if_o adam_n bring_v but_o a_o temporal_a death_n on_o man_n than_o christ_n die_v but_o a_o temporal_a death_n to_o satisfy_v god_n answ_n that_o christ_n do_v not_o die_v the_o second_o death_n that_o be_v to_o say_v christ_n do_v not_o suffer_v in_o the_o lake_n of_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n be_v clear_a for_o if_o he_o have_v he_o have_v be_v irrecoverable_a take_v notice_n that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a gulf_n fix_v so_o that_o those_o that_o once_o come_v into_o that_o place_n take_v heed_n can_v go_v thence_o any_o more_o fie_o fie_o what_o do_v christ_n suffer_v in_o hell_n with_o the_o devil_n and_o damn_a spirit_n no_o sure_o although_o your_o creed_n have_v teach_v you_o so_o to_o believe_v and_o whereas_o you_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v make_v a_o curse_n for_o we_o it_o be_v acknowledge_v that_o he_o be_v hang_v upon_o a_o tree_n and_o curse_a be_v every_o one_o that_o hang_v upon_o a_o tree_n but_o i_o hope_v that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o temporal_a curse_n for_o otherwise_o there_o be_v many_o of_o the_o saint_n that_o have_v so_o suffer_v and_o then_o be_v in_o a_o curse_a estate_n and_o condition_n if_o your_o opinion_n be_v true_a but_o it_o be_v not_o and_o whereas_o you_o say_v that_o my_o opinion_n make_v child_n but_o a_o little_a behold_v to_o christ_n for_o if_o he_o have_v not_o come_v they_o have_v die_v but_o a_o temporal_a death_n and_o so_o they_o do_v still_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v it_o be_v true_a that_o if_o christ_n have_v not_o come_v they_o have_v die_v but_o a_o temporal_a death_n for_o that_o sin_n commit_v in_o paradise_n and_o also_o that_o they_o do_v die_v a_o temporal_a death_n notwithstanding_o and_o yet_o your_o conclusion_n false_a for_o christ_n be_v very_o beneficial_a to_o they_o notwithstanding_o so_o that_o if_o i_o have_v the_o tongue_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n i_o can_v not_o express_v it_o as_o i_o shall_v do_v time_n be_v precious_a take_v this_o in_o short_a that_o christ_n bring_v they_o to_o a_o resurrection_n and_o bring_v all_o the_o glory_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o the_o scripture_n to_o be_v there_o portion_n at_o the_o other_o side_n of_o the_o grave_n i_o can_v be_v very_o large_a but_o i_o must_v speak_v now_o by_o figure_n as_o we_o say_v and_o not_o by_o word_n at_o length_n and_o leave_v you_o and_o the_o reader_n to_o enlarge_v it_o in_o your_o understanding_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o you_o desire_v i_o to_o inform_v you_o what_o shall_v have_v become_v of_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n i_o shall_v show_v you_o my_o opinion_n about_o it_o and_o the_o ground_n and_o reason_n from_o the_o scripture_n and_o if_o i_o be_v mistake_v in_o it_o i_o hope_v some_o sympathyze_a tender_a heart_n will_v be_v as_o ready_a to_o inform_v i_o better_o in_o it_o as_o the_o captious_a spirit_n will_v be_v to_o cavil_v at_o it_o and_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v receive_v such_o information_n with_o humility_n of_o mind_n and_o thankfulness_n of_o heart_n and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o subject_a of_o discourse_n
you_o may_v see_v that_o the_o sepulchre_n which_o you_o speak_v of_o be_v not_o wood_n but_o earth_n and_o so_o christ_n be_v bury_v and_o cover_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o earth_n so_o than_o person_n baptize_v must_v be_v cover_v in_o water_n or_o otherwise_o no_o signification_n of_o burial_n in_o baptism_n and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o four_o reason_n to_o prove_v baptism_n to_o be_v dip_v or_o plunge_v into_o the_o water_n reas_n 4._o because_o baptism_n be_v figurative_o represent_v by_o much_o water_n and_o not_o by_o a_o little_a which_o impli_v the_o person_n baptize_v aught_o to_o be_v dip_v or_o plunge_v so_o as_o to_o be_v cover_v in_o water_n as_o the_o water_n of_o noah_n and_o john_n abide_v in_o canaan_n baptise_v because_o there_o be_v much_o water_n say_v the_o text_n to_o which_o you_o add_v these_o two_o objection_n object_n 1._o first_o that_o if_o the_o water_n of_o noah_n be_v baptism_n than_o the_o ungodly_a world_n be_v baptise_a for_o plunge_v and_o cover_v they_o be_v and_o perish_v and_o so_o the_o perish_a creature_n be_v baptise_a answ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v the_o text_n do_v not_o say_v that_o noah_n water_n be_v baptism_n but_o a_o figure_n of_o baptism_n second_o it_o be_v not_o deny_v that_o the_o same_o water_n that_o be_v say_v to_o save_v the_o eight_o soul_n which_o be_v in_o the_o ark_n be_v the_o same_o that_o drown_v they_o which_o be_v out_o of_o the_o ark_n which_o show_v that_o the_o water_n in_o baptism_n must_v not_o be_v small_a for_o that_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o baptism_n but_o sufficient_a to_o cover_v the_o person_n baptize_v that_o which_o we_o may_v learn_v from_o these_o say_n be_v this_o and_o so_o i_o pass_v that_o as_o the_o water_n save_v those_o in_o the_o ark_n and_o drown_v they_o that_o be_v out_o of_o the_o ark_n even_o so_o baptism_n be_v figurative_o represent_v in_o it_o save_v and_o clean_v instrumental_o all_o those_o that_o have_v faith_n and_o so_o be_v in_o christ_n the_o ark_n of_o safety_n and_o also_o destroy_v all_o that_o attempt_v it_o which_o believe_v not_o or_o be_v not_o in_o christ_n by_o faith_n and_o so_o the_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n to_o one_o be_v the_o savour_n of_o life_n unto_o life_n and_o to_o the_o other_o the_o savour_n of_o death_n unto_o death_n therefore_o take_v this_o word_n of_o caution_n take_v heel_n how_o and_o to_o who_o you_o administer_v baptism_n let_v they_o first_o appear_v to_o you_o that_o they_o be_v in_o the_o ark_n which_o be_v to_o say_v let_v the_o person_n baptise_a first_o make_v it_o appear_v to_o you_o by_o some_o visible_a demonstration_n that_o they_o have_v faith_n in_o christ_n otherwise_o you_o see_v that_o you_o take_v a_o direct_a way_n to_o ruinate_v they_o therefore_o i_o say_v take_v heed_n and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o next_o thing_n which_o be_v object_n john_n do_v abide_v at_o canaan_n to_o baptize_v because_o there_o be_v much_o water_n there_o but_o say_v you_o the_o much_o water_n be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v deep_a water_n but_o broad_a and_o shallow_a so_o that_o a_o infant_n can_v not_o be_v cover_v in_o it_o and_o that_o john_n do_v abide_v there_o because_o his_o disciple_n may_v see_v he_o administer_v that_o ordinance_n better_o than_o under_o the_o shadow_a bank_n of_o jordan_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n say_v my_o antagonist_n that_o john_n do_v abide_v at_o canaan_n not_o that_o the_o water_n be_v convenient_a that_o be_v to_o say_v deep_a to_o cover_v the_o person_n baptize_v but_o because_o there_o be_v a_o convenient_a prospect_n whereby_o his_o disciple_n may_v see_v the_o manner_n of_o this_o administer_a of_o the_o ordinance_n answ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o this_o kind_n of_o reason_v seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v strange_a pervert_n of_o the_o scripture_n for_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o john_n abode_n at_o canaan_n to_o baptize_v because_o there_o be_v much_o water_n or_o it_o may_v be_v read_v abundance_n of_o water_n or_o deep_a water_n from_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d but_o you_o say_v that_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o tarry_v there_o to_o baptize_v be_v because_o there_o be_v a_o convenient_a prospect_n that_o his_o disciple_n may_v see_v he_o baptize_v clear_a contrary_a to_o what_o the_o scripture_n say_v and_o if_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n as_o you_o say_v than_o he_o may_v have_v take_v a_o pitcher_n of_o water_n into_o the_o mountain_n if_o sprinkle_v will_v have_v serve_v the_o turn_n for_o a_o pitcher_n of_o water_n will_v have_v baptize_v very_o many_o with_o your_o kind_n of_o baptism_n and_o the_o mountain_n have_v be_v a_o better_a prospect_n than_o the_o valley_n second_o canaan_n be_v the_o same_o water_n viz._n the_o river_n jordan_n and_o take_v its_o name_n canaan_n from_o the_o name_n of_o the_o village_n canaan_n that_o stand_v by_o the_o river_n of_o jordan_n as_o you_o may_v see_v if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o map_n of_o that_o country_n and_o so_o it_o be_v now_o that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o river_n bear_v many_o name_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o adjacent_a village_n and_o town_n that_o stand_v by_o the_o side_n of_o it_o and_o the_o river_n call_v by_o the_o same_o name_n this_o be_v consider_v the_o river_n or_o water_n of_o canaan_n be_v not_o shallow_a but_o deep_a for_o the_o swell_a wave_n of_o jordan_n be_v great_a and_o this_o be_v the_o same_o river_n as_o before-said_a again_o three_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o john_n baptise_a man_n and_o woman_n there_o which_o shall_v be_v read_v if_o it_o be_v true_o translate_v that_o john_n dip_v man_n and_o woman_n there_o and_o if_o so_o you_o and_o your_o author_n must_v be_v false_a which_o say_v it_o be_v not_o deep_a enough_o to_o dip_v a_o infant_n and_o so_o i_o leave_v this_o objection_n and_o the_o reason_n to_o prove_v baptism_n to_o be_v dip_v although_o i_o may_v add_v many_o more_o the_o reason_n in_o short_a you_o see_v be_v these_o first_o because_o the_o word_n baptism_n be_v true_o translate_v be_v to_o dip_v proper_o and_o such_o like_a word_n as_o beforementioned_a second_o because_o christ_n be_v dip_v or_o plunge_v and_o we_o engage_v to_o follow_v his_o example_n three_o baptism_n signify_v christ_n burial_n and_o he_o be_v cover_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o earth_n four_o and_o last_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o john_n do_v tarry_v and_o baptise_v at_o canaan_n because_o there_o be_v much_o water_n signify_v to_o we_o that_o much_o water_n be_v requisite_a in_o baptism_n whereby_o the_o person_n baptize_v may_v be_v convenient_o dip_v or_o plunge_v so_o as_o to_o be_v cover_v in_o the_o water_n and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n which_o be_v the_o discourse_n of_o the_o subject_n which_o be_v to_o be_v baptise_a whether_o believe_v man_n and_o woman_n or_o infant_n to_o which_o i_o say_v the_o scripture_n will_v resolve_v the_o doubt_n if_o we_o well_o examine_v they_o who_o be_v the_o subject_n to_o be_v baptise_a and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v at_o present_a lie_v down_o these_o two_o position_n and_o give_v you_o scripture_n reason_n to_o prove_v they_o position_n 1._o the_o first_o be_v that_o those_o that_o be_v the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n viz._n believe_v man_n and_o woman_n may_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v baptise_a position_n 2._o and_o second_o that_o infant_n as_o such_o may_v not_o be_v baptise_a and_o first_o to_o the_o first_o to_o prove_v that_o such_o as_o be_v disciple_n namely_o believer_n may_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v baptise_a and_o the_o first_o reason_n be_v reason_n 1_o because_o the_o great_a lawgiver_n christ_n jesus_n have_v teach_v we_o in_o his_o last_o will_n and_o testament_n to_o make_v disciple_n and_o baptise_v they_o that_o be_v so_o make_v as_o in_o matth._n 28.18_o 19_o go_v teach_v all_o nation_n and_o baptize_v they_o or_o as_o the_o original_a render_v

that_o it_o be_v the_o mind_n and_o will_n of_o christ_n that_o they_o only_o shall_v be_v baptise_a that_o be_v first_o teach_v and_o make_v disciple_n and_o that_o infant_n be_v not_o here_o in_o the_o least_o include_v be_v plain_a because_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a to_o be_v teach_v but_o those_o that_o be_v command_v there_o to_o be_v baptize_v be_v capable_a of_o be_v teach_v therefore_o can_v not_o be_v infant_n second_o infant_n be_v not_o capable_a to_o bear_v the_o name_n disciple_n because_o christ_n say_v in_o luke_n 14.26_o 27._o that_o whosoever_o deni_v not_o
