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 ...	Collinges, John, 1623-1690.	1681 (1681)	Wing C5321; ESTC R5112	38,449	47

can_v never_o justify_v a_o soul_n in_o the_o three_o and_o four_o chapter_n he_o prove_v it_o as_o by_o other_o argument_n so_o from_o the_o instance_n of_o abraham_n and_o david_n the_o same_o way_n that_o abraham_n the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v justify_v the_o same_o way_n must_v all_o believer_n his_o child_n be_v justify_v and_o the_o same_o way_n that_o david_n be_v justify_v the_o same_o way_n also_o must_v we_o be_v justify_v but_o abraham_n and_o david_n be_v both_o justify_v by_o a_o impute_a righteousness_n in_o the_o five_o chapter_n he_o argue_v from_o the_o sweet_a fruit_n which_o flow_v from_o justification_n by_o faith_n in_o that_o chapter_n v._o 20._o he_o have_v say_v but_o where_o sin_n abound_v grace_n do_v much_o more_o abound_v the_o wise_a apostle_n

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

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

this_o trust_n that_o he_o or_o she_o shall_v not_o be_v ashamed_a of_o christ_n and_o his_o gospel_n but_o shall_v accept_v of_o christ_n and_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n through_o he_o reveal_v to_o the_o world_n and_o commit_v all_o its_o spiritual_a concern_v unto_o he_o and_o rest_n upon_o he_o and_o he_o alone_o for_o life_n and_o salvation_n and_o grow_v up_o in_o he_o avoid_v the_o pollution_n of_o the_o world_n through_o lust_n and_o this_o baptism_n be_v both_o a_o sign_n to_o the_o soul_n commemorative_n of_o what_o christ_n have_v do_v in_o die_v for_o sinner_n and_o declarative_a of_o what_o he_o further_o will_v do_v in_o the_o application_n of_o his_o redemption_n to_o they_o and_o that_o every_o one_o baptize_v walk_v up_o to_o his_o baptismal_a dedication_n and_o covenant_n shall_v certain_o enjoy_v the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o all_o such_o as_o come_v not_o only_o under_o the_o ordinance_n but_o who_o be_v full_o and_o perfect_o baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v forthwith_o ingraft_v into_o christ_n and_o entitle_v to_o a_o present_a enjoyment_n of_o all_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o death_n 2._o that_o all_o such_o as_o have_v come_v under_o the_o holy_a ordinance_n of_o baptism_n aught_o to_o look_v back_o upon_o their_o baptism_n as_o the_o image_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o upon_o themselves_o oblige_v by_o virtue_n of_o it_o to_o die_v to_o sin_n like_v as_o he_o die_v for_o sin_n and_o all_o such_o as_o be_v perfect_o baptize_v into_o christ_n have_v their_o sin_n bury_v with_o christ_n and_o their_o sin_n can_v no_o more_o rise_v up_o in_o judgement_n against_o they_o than_o one_o that_o be_v bury_v can_v rise_v up_o to_o do_v his_o former_a action_n in_o the_o world_n and_o the_o power_n of_o sin_n be_v also_o dead_a in_o they_o so_o as_o it_o be_v impossible_a they_o shall_v any_o long_o serve_v sin_n and_o therefore_o the_o plea_n of_o those_o against_o justification_n of_o grace_n for_o the_o

such_o person_n be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n and_o bury_v with_o christ_n by_o baptism_n into_o death_n this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o full_a sense_n of_o the_o text_n and_o the_o proposition_n
