A33967	The improvableness of water-baptism, or, A discourse concerning the gravity and seriousness of the action and the usefulness of the sacred institution of baptism instructing all parents how great a thing they do when they bring their children to that holy ordinance, and all persons, whether young or old, what obligations their baptism hath brought them under, what wrath it hath exposed wicked and impenitent persons to, and what use they may make of their baptism for confirmation of their faith, and quickening them to repentance and an holy life : discoursed from Rom. 6:3,4, by way of sermon / by John Collinges ...

will_v be_v very_o grave_a and_o serious_a when_o you_o bring_v your_o child_n to_o this_o great_a ordinance_n of_o god_n it_o be_v indeed_o one_o of_o the_o end_n i_o propose_v to_o myself_o in_o undertake_v this_o discourse_n to_o correct_v that_o woeful_a levity_n which_o i_o general_o observe_v in_o this_o most_o grave_a and_o weighty_a action_n and_o here_o be_v i_o in_o a_o congregation_n proper_a for_o such_o a_o discourse_n i_o will_v beseech_v my_o brethren_n in_o the_o ministry_n to_o restrain_v that_o slightness_n and_o desultory_a levity_n that_o be_v so_o ordinary_a in_o this_o administration_n by_o their_o more_o grave_a and_o thoughtful_a performance_n of_o this_o part_n of_o their_o ministry_n i_o persuade_v myself_o much_o of_o this_o have_v be_v occasion_v by_o that_o groundless_a fancy_n that_o baptism_n be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n not_o only_o by_o a_o necessity_n of_o precept_n as_o the_o fulfil_n of_o every_o command_n of_o god_n be_v necessary_a and_o by_o a_o necessity_n of_o the_o mean_a as_o it_o be_v a_o divine_a mean_a which_o in_o its_o season_n and_o under_o due_a circumstance_n we_o ought_v not_o to_o neglect_v we_o free_o grant_v both_o

be_v not_o justify_v by_o work_n but_o by_o the_o abounding_n of_o grace_n free_o impute_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n to_o we_o 1._o he_o aversate_v this_o and_o reject_v such_o a_o notion_n with_o utmost_a abhorrence_n and_o detestation_n god_n forbid_v say_v he_o far_o be_v it_o from_o we_o to_o assert_v any_o such_o thing_n or_o to_o lay_v down_o any_o position_n from_o whence_o any_o such_o thing_n can_v be_v reasonable_o conclude_v then_o he_o proceed_v to_o prove_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o such_o conclusion_n draw_v from_o his_o premise_n for_o say_v he_o how_o shall_v they_o who_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n live_v any_o long_a therein_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o argument_n lie_v in_o this_o hypothesis_n that_o god_n at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o he_o discharge_v the_o soul_n from_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o obligation_n to_o death_n under_o which_o sin_n lay_v it_o do_v also_o renew_v and_o sanctify_v the_o heart_n and_o destroy_v the_o soul_n appetite_n and_o love_n to_o sin_n so_o that_o sin_n have_v no_o long_o a_o power_n and_o dominion_n over_o the_o soul_n and_o look_v as_o for_o a_o dead_a man_n to_o live_v be_v a_o contradiction_n so_o it_o be_v no_o lesser_a contradiction_n for_o a_o justify_v soul_n to_o live_v in_o sin_n every_o justify_v soul_n have_v a_o heart_n dead_a to_o sin_n and_o so_o can_v any_o long_o live_v therein_o he_o may_v be_v overtake_v with_o fault_n he_o do_v sin_n seven_o time_n in_o a_o day_n and_o who_o know_v how_o often_o he_o offend_v but_o he_o sin_v not_o as_o other_o man_n he_o can_v live_v in_o sin_n much_o less_o take_v a_o encouragement_n to_o sin_n from_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n abound_v towards_o his_o soul_n for_o the_o justification_n of_o it_o 2._o in_o the_o text_n which_o i_o have_v read_v to_o you_o he_o prove_v it_o from_o our_o baptism_n know_v you_o not_o say_v he_o that_o so_o many_o of_o we_o as_o be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n be_v baptize_v into_o his_o
