With many usefull instructions, concerning the same matter. Grounded upon Ephes. 4. 5. One lord, one faith, one baptisme. / By Robert Garner.

holiness_n and_o righteousness_n and_o spiritual_a worship_n according_a to_o christ_n in_o all_o thing_n see_v that_o in_o baptism_n they_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v dead_a with_o christ_n and_o to_o live_v with_o he_o they_o ought_v from_o thenceforth_o and_o from_o that_o time_n to_o be_v more_o diligent_a to_o live_v according_o thus_o the_o apostle_n express_o speak_v rom._n 6.6_o where_o have_v relation_n to_o believer_n bury_v and_o rise_v with_o christ_n in_o baptism_n in_o the_o 4_o and_o 5._o verse_n he_o say_v in_o this_o verse_n that_o henceforth_o we_o shall_v not_o serve_v sin_n mind_v that_o expression_n henceforth_o and_o to_o to_o this_o purpose_n be_v that_o exhortation_n to_o the_o same_o believer_n and_o indeed_o concern_v all_o profess_v or_o confess_v christ_n let_v not_o sin_n therefore_o reign_v in_o your_o mortal_a body_n that_o you_o shall_v obey_v it_o in_o the_o lust_n thereof_o and_o as_o they_o have_v a_o great_a engagement_n upon_o they_o from_o thenceforth_o not_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o sin_n and_o the_o lust_n thereof_o so_o likewise_o not_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o any_o human_a tradition_n in_o point_n of_o worship_n you_o may_v understand_v some_o difference_n betwixt_o what_o i_o call_v sin_n and_o what_o i_o call_v humane_a tradition_n in_o point_n of_o worship_n though_o these_o be_v sinful_a also_o i_o say_v believer_n baptism_n engage_v they_o from_o that_o time_n or_o from_o thenceforth_o to_o cast_v off_o all_o these_o thing_n thus_o the_o apostle_n reason_v coloss_n 2.20_o wherefore_o if_o you_o be_v dead_a with_o christ_n that_o be_v see_v you_o be_v dead_a with_o christ_n from_o the_o rudiment_n of_o the_o world_n why_o as_o though_o live_v in_o the_o world_n be_v you_o subject_a to_o ordinance_n after_o the_o commandment_n and_o doctrine_n of_o man_n where_o he_o lay_v down_o this_o conclusion_n that_o they_o be_v dead_a with_o christ_n from_o the_o rudiment_n of_o the_o world_n that_o be_v

it_o be_v most_o evident_a he_o have_v relation_n you_o be_v bury_v with_o he_o in_o baptism_n and_o from_o this_o conclusion_n he_o press_v this_o exhortation_n by_o way_n of_o reason_v why_o as_o though_o live_v in_o the_o world_n be_v you_o subject_a to_o the_o ordinance_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v a_o dishonourable_a thing_n and_o altogether_o unanswerable_a for_o such_o as_o have_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n call_v upon_o they_o in_o baptism_n and_o therein_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v bury_v with_o christ_n from_o thenceforth_o to_o serve_v any_o sin_n in_o the_o lust_n of_o it_o or_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o type_n and_o shadow_n of_o christ_n or_o any_o ordinance_n which_o be_v after_o the_o commandment_n and_o doctrine_n of_o man_n whereas_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o be_v a_o honourable_a and_o a_o glorious_a thing_n for_o believer_n to_o walk_v up_o to_o that_o engagement_n which_o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v lay_v upon_o they_o and_o they_o have_v take_v upon_o themselves_o in_o that_o ordinance_n second_o by_o baptism_n believer_n have_v a_o great_a engagement_n lie_v upon_o they_o to_o seek_v after_o and_o set_v their_o affection_n upon_o thing_n which_o
