cause_n of_o offence_n that_o those_o of_o the_o contrary_a persuasion_n have_v take_v against_o infant-baptism_n for_o what_o wonder_n be_v it_o if_o that_o be_v count_v a_o nullity_n that_o there_o

necessary_a that_o baptism_n shall_v be_v always_o administer_v by_o dip_v this_o necessity_n must_v arise_v from_o the_o will_n and_o intention_n of_o our_o saviour_n some_o way_n declare_v to_o we_o in_o the_o institution_n of_o baptism_n or_o in_o the_o administration_n of_o it_o leave_v to_o we_o in_o scripture_n and_o there_o must_v be_v some_o notice_n or_o evidence_n by_o which_o this_o

that_o it_o be_v our_o saviour_n will_n and_o intention_n that_o baptism_n shall_v always_o be_v administer_v by_o dip_v then_o i_o suppose_v it_o will_v be_v allow_v that_o dip_v be_v not_o

the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n have_v occasion_n to_o mention_v the_o act_n of_o dip_v it_o be_v never_o express_v by_o this_o word_n that_o signify_v to_o baptise_v but_o by_o

3.16_o i_o indeed_o baptize_v you_o with_o water_n and_o so_o act_v 11.16_o it_o will_v be_v very_o uncouth_a and_o improper_a to_o say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v dip_v with_o water_n 4thly_a again_o

that_o christ_n shall_v dip_v or_o dowze_v man_n into_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o the_o usual_a way_n of_o expression_n be_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n with_o his_o gift_n and_o grace_n be_v pour_v
