Sanctifier and Purifier of all his Brethren and Members of his Body or Church and People and nothing else can for as the Work is his so the Power is his and the Glory of the Power is due to him who is Greater than Iohn c. So if Christ wash thee not thou hast no part in him John 13.8 And without Blood there is no Remission Heb. 9.22 It 's the Blood of Christ that cleanseth us from all Sin 1 John 1.7 9. Rev. 1.5 Now it 's clear from that full and clear Declaration of Christ to this Apostle of the Gentiles what he sent him to do and what Christ's Mind was to have done and did he send the rest of the Apostles with any less Authority Or to do any other Work And is not this a more excellent Work To turn People from Darknnss to Light and from Satan's Power unto God than to turn Men into Water or to sprinkle Water in the Faces of Infants and then say They are Sanctified and Changed Regenerated and Born again made new Creatures yea Children of God Members of Christ Inheritors of God's Kingdom and promise to deny the Devil and all his Works the Pomps and Vanities of this wicked World the sinful Lusts of the Flesh with all the Desires of the same so that they will not follow nor be led by them And also that they will believe all the Articles of the Christian Faith and keep God's holy Will and Commandments and walk in the same all the Days of their Life Doth not this set Christ aside and render him useless and ascribe that to Water-Baptism nay to Sprinkling that 's all wholly due to Christ as before is proved Oh where had you Commission for these things Who sent you that run into these things Shew us one tittle of any Command or Example for Sprinkling in all the Scripture how dare you say all these things are done by sprinkling Water in the Face of Infants and yet say there is none free from Sin on this side the Grave Are not New Creatures the Children of God Members of Christ Inheritors of God's Kingdom and deny the Devil and all his Works the Pomps and Vanities of this wicked World the sinful Lusts of the Flesh with all the desires of the same so that they will not follow nor be led by them and believe all the Articles of the Christian Faith and keeps God's Holy Will and Commandments and walk in the same all their days I say Are not these free from Sin that begin thus when they enter into the World and continue to their Lives end Oh consider these things People you that read and see how you are led and how the same Men that lead you thus to promise and avow teach you all your lives long to say You do those things you ought not and leave those things undone you ought to do and are miserable Sinners or Offenders having no Health in you Can Children of God Members of Christ be miserable Sinners then when they are in a Child's State and Members of Christ What Rule what Title of a Word can be shewed for these things in all Holy Scripture Is it not sadly to be lamented that People should be fed with Husk when there is Bread enough in God's House and to spare But Paul was sent upon a more profitable Work and all that are sent of God are sent to Turn People from Darkness to Light and from Satan's Power unto God Oh how few appear to be thus turned amongst the Professors of our Age So it 's clear what Christ sent Paul to do for Paul saith He sent me not to baptize 1 Cor. 1.17 but to preach the Gospel Now if Paul was not sent to Baptize as it 's clear he was not how then can we think in Reason that others were For he was not behind the chiefest of the Apostles as he himself affirms But he must needs be behind them if their Commission was larger than his but if not then it 's strange how Paul could miss of having a share in that Commission Matt. 28. If it was a Commission for Water-Baptism to them it must needs be so either to him or else he had no share in it and if he had no share in it then he was behind the other Apostles in that Now that that in Mat. 28. was a Commission for Water-Dipping and Sprinkling I deny neither did Paul understand it so at all for had he he would not nor could not have said as he did but I say if it was and he had no share in it how comes Men in our times to have Power from Mat. 28. to Dip and Sprinkle For Paul had none therefore let them tell us plainly or cease from deceiving the People But again we find that Paul Preached the Baptism of Christ and shews what it is very plainly in Rom. 6.3 Know ye not that so many of us as were Baptized into mark into Iesus Christ were Baptized into his death therefore we are buried with him by Baptism into death that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the Glory of the Father even so we also should walk in newness of life For if we have been planted together into the likeness of his Death we shall be also in the likeness of his Resurrection knowing this that our Old Man is Crucified with him that the body of sin might be destroyed that henceforth we should not serve sin for he that is dead is free from sin And verse 17. God be thanked that ye were the servants of sin but ye have obeyed from the Heart that Form of Doctrine which was delivered you Vers. 18. Being then made free from sin ye became the servants of Righteousness Vers. 22. But now being made free from sin and become servants to God ye have your Fruit unto Holiness and the end Everlasting Life for the wages of sin is Death but the Gift of God is Eternal Life through Iesus Christ our Lord. Come People all you that read this see if you yet know this Baptism into Christ into Death to sin and know the Old Man Crucified and put off and Christ the New Man put on that sets free from sin and makes Men Servants of God in Righteousness This Baptism is effectual to Salvation this is that we have all need of to be baptized with and if this Baptism be not known by us we fall short of freedom from sin and then the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ so in Christ is Life Eternal and they that are Baptized into Christ puts him on abides in him are alive unto God in him and dead to sin as the Apostle saith in the 2d verse How shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therein There is surely a vast difference betwixt those that live in Christ and those that live in sin This is a fanning Baptism a cleansing purifying Baptism this

Implacable Unmerciful who knowing the Iudgment of God that they who commit such things are worthy of Death not only do the same but have pleasure in those that do them Rom. 1.27 to the end These and all such as live in Lust Pride Lying c. shall not inherit the Kingdom of God and Christ no unclean Man or Woman must enter that Kingdom So the Devil he hath a Table to feed these at where in the World therefore all these love the World But the Love of God is not in them neither do they love one another but love self and are self-ended and love to obtain their worldly Ends and when they shew in appearance to love one another it is for some selfish worldly End So the Devil feeds them with worldly things for he knows they love the Dainties of this World worldly Honours Pleasures Profits Riches and Vanities so the World is very taking with bad People of all sorts Now the Devil would have prevailed with our Lord Jesus Christ to have fed at his Table and he shewed him his finest Dainties the World and the Glory thereof and offered to give it him if he would fall down and worship him but Christ fasted all the Forty Days he was in the Wilderness and did eat nothing mark that Mat. 4.1 to 11. So it 's clear they whose Minds are feeding here are Carnally-minded live in the Flesh to the Flesh have their Affections set on things here in the World love the World these love not God cannot please God nor feed nor know what it is to feed at the Table of the Lord nor do they believe the People of God have such Pastures to feed in such a Table so spread such a Banqueting-house so full of Sweet-meats and Divine Spiritual Drinks as they have where they sit together in Heavenly Places in Christ Jesus who hath compelled them to come to the Wedding-Dinner of the great King and the Marriage-Supper of the Lamb every one having on the Wedding-Garment Oh! the things of God are good and precious Things durable lasting Riches yea Everlasting and they that are come to partake of them these look not at things that are seen which are Temporal but at things not seen which are Eternal 2 Cor. 4.18 For the Alpha and Omega is come the First and the Last the Beginning and the End Pray what is he the Last or the End of if not of all Shadows Types Figures and Changeable Things as well as of Sin For if Sin had never enter'd these had not had place in the Church And now he is come that takes away Sin and where Sin is taken away there he that was before Sin was comes to be again in Man as he was in the beginning And how was he then Was there any Types Figures or Shadows then whilst Man kept his State in which he was made whilst Christ the Word the Incorruptible Seed was Head Lord King and all in him Then there was no outward Law of Moses but that was added because of Sin until the Seed Christ came again to put an end to Sin and finish Transgression and bring in Everlasting Righteousness again Gal. 3.19 So to him must the Types Figures yea and the Law that was added give place and he only be exalted for he is worthy who not only bore our Sins on his own Body on the Tree but the Curse of the Law likewise But some may say Paul speaks of the Lord's Supper in 1 Cor. 11.23 that what he received of the Lord was that which he also delivered unto them What was that Why it was this That the Lord Iesus the same Night in which he was Betrayed took Bread and when he had given Thanks he broke it and said Take eat this is my Body which is broken for you this do in remembrance of me After the same manner he also took the Cup saying This Cup is the New Testament in my Blood this do ye as often as ye drink it in remembrance of me For as often as ye eat this Bread and drink this Cup ye do shew forth the Lord's Death till he come Wherefore whosoever shall eat this Bread and drink this Cup of the Lord unworthily shall be guilty of the Body and Blood of Christ but let a man examine himself and so let him eat of this Bread and drink of this Cup for he that eateth unworthily eateth and drinketh Damnation to himself not discerning the Lord's Body Now I desire to know if any thing can be more plain than that the Passover did shew forth the Lord's Death till he came and as before the breaking of Bread the slain Lamb without blemish and the Cup was not all this in the Passover and shewed the Lord's Death till he came But now he is come and and hath tasted Death for every Man was dead but is alive and lives for evermore Death hath no more Dominion over him he died unto Sin or for our Sins once but he liveth unto God yea is God and lives for evermore So that except Men like the outward Iew believe he is not come how can they now live in the use of that Figure which shewed forth his Death till he came well then but did not this Apostle and the Church of Corinth come to the Lords Table and Supper Answer They did some of them but those that did Sup with him must needs do it in the Kingdom of God for he ate no more nor drank no more as he said he would not till it was fulfilled in the Kingdom and till he drank it new in his Father's Kingdom so he is not to be Supped with in the Figure out of the Kingdom but they that Sup with him Sup with him in his Kingdom and if Men Sup with him they must have him to Sup with and are with him where he is and behold his Glory as the only Begotten of the Father full of Grace and Truth and so he is with them according to his Promise to the end of the World and if so how then can they run from him to the Figure that was in use and shewed forth his Death until he came But now he is come and is with them and in them and they in him for this Apostle said Know ye not that your Bodies are the Temples of the Holy Ghost and that Christ is in you except ye be Reprobates 2 Cor. 13.5 How often doth the Scriptures speak of Christ's being in his People and they in him Iohn said The Son of God is come and hath given us a Mind to know him or an Understanding that we may know him that is true even in his Son Jesus Christ 1 Iohn 5.20 So that it seems contradictory in it self to say Christ is come and yet to eat the outward Passover which did but shew forth his Death until he came and to do a thing in Remembrance of him and yet be with him and he with them for he gives his People to
