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

baptize_v into_o christ_n have_v put_v on_o christ_n now_o what_o it_o be_v to_o put_v on_o christ_n the_o apostle_n tell_v you_o rom._n 13._o 14._o but_o put_v you_o on_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o make_v not_o provision_n for_o the_o flesh_n to_o fulfil_v the_o lust_n thereof_o eph._n 4._o 24._o you_o read_v of_o put_v on_o the_o new_a man_n so_o col._n 3._o 10._o now_o all_o that_o be_v baptize_v can_v be_v say_v to_o have_v put_v on_o christ_n many_o of_o they_o make_v provision_n for_o the_o flesh_n to_o fulfil_v the_o lust_n there_o of_o many_o of_o they_o have_v not_o put_v on_o the_o new_a man_n which_o after_o god_n be_v create_v in_o righteousness_n and_o holiness_n for_o these_o reason_n i_o do_v think_v that_o to_o be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n signify_v more_o than_o to_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n i_o conclude_v then_o my_o discourse_n in_o answer_n to_o this_o question_n thus_o 1._o there_o be_v a_o external_a imperfect_a baptism_n whereby_o and_o wherein_o person_n be_v wash_v with_o water_n as_o a_o religious_a rite_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n with_o invocation_n on_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n those_o who_o be_v thus_o baptize_v be_v baptize_v into_o the_o gospel-doctrine_n and_o the_o profession_n of_o it_o into_o that_o one_o body_n of_o which_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n they_o be_v dedicate_v to_o christ_n and_o make_v a_o covenant_n with_o he_o they_o receive_v their_o baptism_n as_o a_o sign_n that_o christ_n the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n be_v come_v have_v die_v and_o rise_v again_o and_o that_o their_o only_a hope_n for_o salvation_n be_v in_o and_o through_o he_o they_o be_v baptize_v for_o this_o very_a end_n and_o purpose_n that_o they_o may_v bear_v a_o testimony_n to_o the_o messiah_n his_o be_v come_v have_v die_v etc._n etc._n and_o that_o they_o may_v accept_v of_o he_o as_o their_o saviour_n hope_v and_o rest_n in_o and_o upon_o he_o and_o he_o alone_o and_o grow_v up_o in_o he_o etc._n etc._n and_o their_o baptism_n be_v not_o fruitless_a in_o case_n they_o do_v repent_v and_o believe_v in_o christ_n but_o be_v a_o sign_n to_o they_o that_o do_v so_o he_o will_v be_v their_o saviour_n 2._o but_o there_o be_v also_o a_o more_o perfect_a baptism_n when_o person_n be_v not_o only_o wash_v with_o water_n but_o with_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n regenerate_v and_o sanctify_v baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n now_o say_v the_o apostle_n so_o many_o as_o be_v thus_o baptize_v into_o jesus_n christ_n be_v baptize_v into_o his_o death_n and_o that_o bring_v i_o to_o the_o second_o question_n q._n 2._o what_o be_v this_o to_o be_v baptize_v into_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n this_o i_o shall_v answer_v in_o three_o thing_n 1._o into_o the_o image_n and_o similitude_n of_o his_o death_n thus_o justinian_n and_o mortis_fw-la in_o similitudinem_fw-la &_o imaginem_fw-la mortis_fw-la gorran_n expound_v the_o phrase_n and_o this_o be_v two_o way_n 1._o the_o first_o more_o particular_o respect_v the_o manner_n of_o baptism_n in_o those_o hot_a country_n which_o be_v by_o dip_v the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o baptize_v person_n in_o water_n thus_o john_n baptize_v in_o jordan_n 3._o ezek._n 36._o 25._o isa_n 44._o 3._o this_o be_v doubtless_o lawful_a but_o we_o say_v not_o necessary_a nor_o among_o we_o expedient_a not_o necessary_a for_o the_o grace_n of_o justification_n and_o remission_n be_v as_o well_o in_o scripture_n express_v by_o sprinkle_v and_o pour_v water_n and_o you_o read_v of_o the_o sprinkle_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n loc_fw-la v._o aquinat_fw-la esti_fw-la piscat_fw-la deodati_n ad_fw-la loc_fw-la 1_o pet._n 2._o 2._o and_o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v come_v to_o the_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v heb._n 12._o 24._o signify_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v under_o the_o law_n heb._n 11._o 28._o not_o expedient_a or_o convenient_a dip_v a_o newborn_a infant_n in_o water_n in_o a_o probable_a way_n will_v endanger_v its_o life_n but_o i_o say_v that_o custom_n have_v a_o fair_a similitude_n of_o the_o burial_n of_o christ_n person_n bury_v be_v cover_v with_o earth_n so_o those_o baptize_v person_n be_v cover_v with_o water_n but_o it_o be_v as_o true_a earth_n be_v sprinkle_v and_o pour_v too_o upon_o person_n bury_v as_o water_n be_v upon_o the_o child_n baptize_v 2._o but_o there_o be_v another_o similitude_n of_o far_o more_o value_n express_v v._n 6._o of_o this_o chapter_n our_o old_a man_n be_v crucify_v with_o he_o that_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n may_v be_v destroy_v this_o must_v be_v understand_v when_o the_o lord_n with_o his_o internal_a grace_n be_v please_v to_o concur_v with_o the_o sacrament_n even_o as_o from_o that_o day_n wherein_o christ_n curse_v the_o figtree_n it_o wither_v so_o from_o that_o day_n that_o a_o person_n be_v baptize_v where_o god_n inward_a grace_n concur_v with_o the_o outward_a sign_n the_o tree_n of_o lust_n and_o corruption_n decay_v and_o wither_v 2._o into_o his_o death_n that_o may_v be_v into_o the_o faith_n own_v and_o profession_n of_o his_o death_n those_o who_o be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n do_v profess_v to_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n die_v for_o sinner_n the_o water_n pour_v and_o sprinkle_v on_o they_o signify_v the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n so_o that_o christ_n have_v die_v and_o their_o submission_n to_o that_o rite_n to_o receive_v baptism_n be_v a_o take_n upon_o they_o the_o faith_n and_o profession_n of_o the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n 3._o last_o they_o be_v baptize_v into_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o death_n and_o this_o may_v be_v take_v in_o a_o double_a sense_n 1._o if_o they_o be_v only_o external_o baptize_v and_o receive_v no_o more_o than_o the_o outward_a sign_n yet_o it_o be_v and_o shall_v be_v a_o sign_n unto_o they_o that_o if_o at_o any_o time_n they_o shall_v hearty_o repent_v and_o believe_v the_o fruit_n and_o benefit_n yea_o all_o the_o fruit_n and_o benefit_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n shall_v be_v real_o and_o true_o they_o 2._o if_o the_o lord_n do_v with_o the_o external_a sign_n confer_v the_o inward_a grace_n and_o give_v the_o thing_n signify_v than_o they_o be_v real_o and_o absolute_o baptize_v into_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o make_v partaker_n of_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o redemption_n be_v wash_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o lamb_n of_o god_n who_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o thus_o much_o may_v serve_v to_o have_v speak_v to_o the_o second_o question_n the_o three_o follow_v quest_n 3._o what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v bury_v with_o christ_n by_o baptism_n into_o death_n and_o how_o the_o baptize_v person_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v bury_v with_o christ_n by_o baptism_n into_o death_n i_o answer_v a_o baptize_v person_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v bury_v with_o christ_n by_o baptism_n into_o death_n 1._o analogical_o there_o be_v as_o i_o say_v before_o a_o great_a analogy_n betwixt_o bury_v of_o a_o dead_a body_n and_o baptise_v a_o person_n the_o dead_a person_n be_v cover_v with_o the_o earth_n the_o baptize_v person_n with_o water_n this_o be_v according_a to_o their_o manner_n of_o baptise_v by_o dip_v to_o which_o also_o the_o apostle_n allude_v col._n 2._o 12._o and_o of_o old_a they_o use_v a_o trina_fw-la immersio_fw-la a_o dip_v the_o baptize_v person_n three_o time_n to_o signify_v christ_n lie_v three_o day_n in_o the_o grave_n but_o this_o usage_n be_v doubtless_o not_o so_o old_a as_o the_o apostle_n time_n nor_o be_v there_o any_o rule_n for_o it_o other_o say_v they_o dip_v the_o person_n baptize_v thrice_o to_o signify_v his_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n thus_o aquinas_n justinian_n chrysostome_n damascene_fw-la theophilact_fw-mi and_o gregory_n interpret_v this_o text_n but_o i_o do_v not_o think_v that_o this_o take_v up_o the_o whole_a of_o the_o sense_n 2._o we_o be_v bury_v with_o christ_n by_o baptism_n into_o death_n symbollical_o or_o sacramental_o baptism_n signify_v thus_o much_o to_o all_o that_o if_o they_o live_v up_o to_o that_o dedication_n of_o they_o unto_o god_n unto_o that_o covenant_n which_o they_o enter_v into_o in_o baptism_n when_o they_o come_v up_o to_o year_n of_o discretion_n if_o they_o be_v baptize_v in_o their_o infancy_n repent_v and_o believe_v their_o sin_n shall_v come_v no_o more_o in_o god_n sight_n but_o be_v as_o much_o bury_v and_o out_o of_o sight_n as_o a_o person_n who_o be_v baptize_v by_o dip_v in_o water_n be_v out_o of_o our_o sight_n during_o that_o instant_n thus_o the_o apostle_n col._n 2._o 12._o say_v we_o be_v bury_v with_o he_o in_o baptism_n
of_o baptize_v person_n whole_a life_n be_v but_o a_o continue_a apostasy_n god_n will_v be_v justify_v in_o it_o as_o creator_n for_o your_o not_o live_v up_o to_o the_o law_n of_o your_o creation_n but_o how_o much_o more_o when_o you_o have_v in_o baptism_n dedicate_v yourselves_o to_o he_o and_o make_v a_o solemn_a vow_n to_o be_v his_o servant_n instruct_v 5._o from_o hence_o you_o may_v observe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n to_o be_v put_v betwixt_o person_n baptize_v some_o be_v baptise_a with_o water_n other_o not_o with_o water_n only_o but_o with_o the_o holy_a

some_o have_v be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n or_o into_o christ_n only_o in_o a_o large_a sense_n other_o be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n in_o a_o true_a spiritual_a and_o strict_a sense_n and_o this_o bring_v i_o to_o a_o second_o use_v use_v 2._o which_o shall_v be_v of_o enquiry_n whether_o we_o be_v baptize_v into_o jesus_n christ_n yea_o or_o no_o multitude_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v have_v be_v baptize_v that_o in_o a_o true_a proper_a and_o spiritual_a sense_n have_v not_o be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n but_o you_o will_v say_v how_o shall_v we_o ever_o satisfy_v
