of_o true_a and_o heavenly_a wisdom_n as_o touch_v baptism_n i_o think_v when_o we_o serious_o consider_v with_o ourselves_o what_o weighty_a thing_n be_v do_v therein_o and_o mutual_o pass_v

our_o meditation_n as_o usual_o we_o do_v for_o i_o own_o part_n i_o know_v not_o whether_o any_o one_o thing_n be_v more_o worthy_a of_o a_o christian_n consideration_n than_o be_v his_o baptism_n for_o by_o it_o as_o by_o a_o conduit_n it_o please_v god_n to_o convey_v unto_o we_o the_o best_a of_o his_o favour_n for_o example_n whereas_o by_o nature_n as_o scripture_n speak_v we_o be_v

most_o bless_a condition_n again_o 2.1_o ephes_n 2.1_o whereas_o by_o nature_n we_o be_v all_o dead_a and_o rot_a in_o sin_n and_o altogether_o devoid_a of_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n in_o baptism_n we_o receive_v quicknance_n from_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o whereas_o our_o poor_a soul_n be_v beggarly_a clad_v with_o nature_n cloth_n which_o be_v god_n wot_v nought_o else_o but_o a_o tear_a and_o rot_a rag_n of_o old_a adam_n in_o baptism_n we_o lay_v aside_o that_o old_a and_o put_v on_o a_o new_a and_o most_o costly_a coat_n even_o the_o rich_a robe_n of_o

by_o nature_n we_o be_v most_o filthy_a and_o loathsome_a in_o god_n eye_n no_o leper_n or_o lazer_n so_o loathsome_a to_o we_o as_o we_o to_o god_n for_o as_o the_o child_n new_o bear_v lie_v

5._o 2._o king_n 5._o as_o naaman_n be_v from_o his_o leprosy_n in_o the_o river_n jordan_n thus_o by_o our_o baptism_n of_o stranger_n to_o god_n we_o become_v even_o god_n associate_n of_o limb_n

〈◊〉_d thus_o be_v we_o bless_v when_o we_o be_v baptize_v with_o water_n and_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n now_o further_o see_v we_o what_o great_a thing_n do_v pass_v from_o we_o to_o god_n in_o our_o baptism_n sure_o as_o god_n therein_o become_v a_o god_n unto_o we_o so_o we_o become_v a_o people_n to_o he_o we_o renounce_v the_o world_n and_o proclaim_v a_o defiance_n to_o sin_n and_o satan_n we_o dedicate_v ourselves_o soul_n and_o body_n to_o the_o service_n and_o worship_n of_o the_o most_o high_a and_o as_o david_n vow_v to_o keep_v god_n commandment_n so_o do_v we_o by_o a_o solemn_a vow_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n bind_v ourselves_o to_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o to_o become_v as_o it_o be_v god_n apprentice_n or_o rather_o the_o loyal_a subject_n and_o faithful_a soldier_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n to_o fight_v under_o his_o colour_n and_o maintain_v his_o quarrel_n against_o all_o adversary_n power_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o his_o glory_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o in_o our_o baptism_n the_o lord_n do_v great_a thing_n for_o we_o and_o we_o promise_v great_a thing_n to_o god_n again_o how_o requisite_a a_o thing_n be_v it_o therefore_o nay_o how_o necessary_a that_o we_o shall_v now_o and_o then_o admit_v of_o thought_n about_o our_o baptism_n that_o so_o we_o may_v have_v a_o sense_n and_o feel_n of_o the_o comfort_n of_o those_o blessing_n of_o god_n which_o there_o we_o receive_v and_o also_o be_v quicken_v up_o to_o the_o careful_a performance_n of_o what_o we_o have_v so_o solemn_o promise_v for_o this_o

oft_o speak_v of_o in_o the_o scripture_n and_o call_v by_o this_o name_n the_o fear_n of_o god_n a_o most_o excellent_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o useful_a almost_o as_o any_o other_o to_o
