christ_n and_o so_o of_o his_o die_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o rise_v for_o our_o justification_n and_o offer_v himself_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n for_o we_o and_o sit_v in_o heaven_n to_o appear_v before_o god_n and_o mediate_v for_o we_o as_o but_o a_o figure_n a_o type_n a_o shadow_n and_o of_o no_o far_o profitable_a use_n to_o we_o and_o with_o this_o a_o slight_n of_o all_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o testify_v of_o he_o and_o effect_v faith_n love_n union_n conformity_n from_o that_o appearance_n of_o he_o all_o which_o they_o count_v but_o fleshly_a and_o know_v christ_n after_o the_o flesh_n how_o near_o this_o be_v to_o that_o sin_n mention_v heb._n 10.29_o the_o very_a mention_v it_o do_v declare_v and_o for_o those_o that_o after_o knowledge_n and_o warning_n persist_v in_o this_o evil_a they_o soon_o come_v to_o deny_v the_o very_a be_v of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o man_n christ_n and_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n of_o man_n that_o die_v i_o suppose_v all_o that_o have_v any_o spark_n of_o grace_n remain_v will_v look_v at_o this_o as_o a_o fearful_a evil_n and_o it_o may_v warn_v to_o shun_v that_o practice_n which_o give_v occasion_n of_o 〈◊〉_d but_o in_o this_o i_o desire_v none_o to_o mistake_v i_o as_o if_o i_o affirm_v such_o as_o receive_v a_o second_o baptism_n be_v necessitate_v to_o this_o nor_o yet_o all_o such_o as_o renounce_v the_o first_o to_o accept_v the_o second_o or_o that_o only_o such_o do_v fall_v into_o this_o evil_a not_o so_o far_o be_v it_o from_o we_o so_o to_o think_v or_o judge_v but_o in_o observation_n this_o some_o discern_v that_o for_o the_o most_o part_n such_o as_o fall_v into_o this_o evil_a be_v of_o those_o that_o be_v never_o baptize_v into_o the_o knowledge_n and_o acknowledgement_n of_o the_o death_n resurrection_n and_o sacrifice_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o extent_n and_o virtue_n of_o it_o for_o all_o man_n and_o so_o be_v either_o zealous_a opposer_n of_o it_o or_o if_o in_o some_o sort_n acknowledge_v it_o a_o truth_n yet_o count_v it_o but_o a_o common_a and_o light_a matter_n which_o yet_o be_v the_o foundation_n as_o be_v show_v pag._n 18.19_o yet_o most_o those_o of_o these_o that_o fall_v into_o this_o evil_a be_v such_o as_o before_o they_o fall_v into_o it_o come_v to_o renounce_v their_o first_o baptism_n and_o accept_v a_o second_o though_o when_o they_o fall_v into_o it_o they_o count_v themselves_o above_o all_o ordinance_n and_o so_o slight_a their_o second_o also_o in_o respect_n of_o themselves_o or_o else_o such_o as_o in_o their_o judgement_n come_v to_o be_v snare_v with_o that_o practice_n and_o to_o approve_v it_o as_o good_a but_o conceit_v miracle_n of_o right_a to_o be_v do_v by_o such_o as_o baptise_v they_o wait_v and_o seek_v for_o such_o like_a thing_n till_o they_o conceit_n themselves_o above_o ordinance_n and_o then_o not_o need_v it_o both_o sort_n of_o they_o still_o approve_v such_o a_o practice_n for_o other_o it_o be_v the_o way_n to_o set_v they_o loose_v from_o that_o name_n into_o which_o they_o be_v at_o first_o baptise_a that_o so_o slight_v scripture_n they_o may_v believe_v they_o and_o yet_o still_o far_o i_o desire_v to_o be_v note_v that_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o man_n that_o maintain_v this_o practice_n of_o renounce_v the_o first_o baptism_n and_o take_v up_o a_o second_o first_o such_o as_o do_v not_o believe_v jesus_n christ_n to_o have_v dye_v and_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o man_n or_o that_o there_o be_v any_o gracious_a life_n in_o he_o for_o they_o all_o but_o that_o christ_n do_v this_o only_a for_o a_o certain_a company_n elect_v in_o god_n hide_a counsel_n from_o eternity_n and_o that_o shall_v infallible_o believe_v on_o he_o in_o time_n and_o so_o oppose_v the_o testimony_n of_o scripture_n that_o say_v he_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o man_n these_o i_o know_v not_o how_o they_o can_v with_o a_o good_a conscience_n walk_v in_o their_o faith_n baptize_v any_o till_o upon_o good_a ground_n they_o be_v persuade_v that_o they_o do_v in_o heart_n believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o so_o be_v apt_v for_o renounce_v their_o first_o baptism_n and_o take_v a_o second_o though_o be_v bring_v to_o believe_v they_o may_v enjoy_v the_o use_n of_o their_o first_o baptism_n and_o have_v no_o good_a ground_n to_o renounce_v it_o and_o take_v up_o a_o second_o but_o it_o be_v meet_a to_o reason_n with_o they_o and_o inform_v they_o about_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o scripture_n in_o the_o extent_n and_o virtue_n of_o the_o foundation_n act_v 18.2.3_o than_o to_o contend_v with_o they_o about_o the_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n in_o which_o it_o be_v not_o marvel_v though_o they_o be_v mislead_v but_o there_o be_v some_o that_o do_v profess_v to_o believe_v and_o hold_v forth_o the_o extent_n of_o the_o ransom_n oh_o that_o they_o will_v serious_o without_o prejudice_n or_o offence-taking_a consider_v the_o thing_n write_v for_o it_o be_v marvellous_a to_o i_o and_o other_o that_o any_o right_o understand_v that_o business_n shall_v deny_v the_o baptise_v of_o child_n by_o god_n gracious_a providence_n put_v into_o the_o tuition_n of_o such_o as_o believe_v and_o profess_v jesus_n to_o be_v the_o christ_n but_o yet_o more_o marvellous_a that_o any_o i_o hope_v there_o be_v not_o many_o will_v say_v a_o horse_n may_v as_o well_o be_v baptize_v as_o a_o infant_n sure_o they_o will_v deny_v that_o to_o be_v true_a for_o a_o horse_n that_o they_o will_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v true_a for_o a_o infant_n that_o jesus_n christ_n take_v their_o nature_n and_o die_v for_o their_o sin_n and_o rise_v for_o their_o justification_n and_o that_o such_o as_o we_o treat_v of_o be_v by_o gracious_a providence_n put_v under_o the_o tuition_n of_o christian_n to_o be_v bring_v up_o for_o god_n in_o his_o fear_n and_o that_o as_o john_n 13._o they_o may_v be_v instruct_v after_o in_o this_o ordinance_n they_o now_o understand_v not_o all_o or_o any_o of_o which_o i_o hope_v none_o will_v say_v of_o a_o horse_n and_o thus_o have_v i_o show_v the_o cause_n of_o fear_n and_o grief_n in_o such_o a_o practice_n yet_o not_o to_o cast_v aspersion_n on_o the_o person_n of_o any_o but_o to_o show_v the_o evil_n that_o be_v so_o incident_a to_o such_o a_o practice_n neither_o yet_o to_o unbrother_v any_o because_o of_o such_o a_o practice_n unless_o such_o in_o who_o the_o last_o mention_v occasional_a evil_n appear_v 1_o cor._n 16.22_o for_o it_o belong_v not_o to_o i_o or_o other_o to_o judge_v any_o in_o observance_n of_o a_o outward_a ordinance_n who_o through_o some_o appearance_n in_o scripture_n to_o their_o understanding_n do_v that_o which_o they_o do_v unto_o the_o lord_n rom._n 14_o 1._o to_o 10_o yet_o this_o i_o wish_v that_o in_o this_o business_n the_o tenor_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o commission_n of_o christ_n be_v consider_v and_o that_o in_o reason_v they_o will_v state_n the_o question_n right_a not_o whether_o believer_n may_v be_v baptize_v for_o that_o none_o deny_v but_o whether_o believer_n that_o be_v fore-baptized_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v after_o they_o come_v to_o believe_v to_o be_v baptize_v with_o water_n in_o the_o name_n again_o and_o then_o whether_o child_n in_o believer_n tuition_n may_v not_o he_o so_o baptize_v and_o till_o they_o can_v prove_v the_o one_o and_o disprove_v the_o other_o by_o that_o gospel_n and_o without_o take_v the_o foresay_a evil_a way_n cease_v press_v their_o practice_n on_o other_o and_o such_o as_o be_v not_o yet_o entangle_v to_o consider_v what_o be_v say_v and_o not_o suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v snare_v if_o any_o say_v we_o do_v and_o may_v run_v into_o as_o many_o evil_n i_o confess_v we_o be_v as_o weak_a as_o other_o and_o so_o i_o will_v neither_o justify_v myself_o nor_o judge_v they_o but_o pray_v for_o the_o heal_n of_o their_o folly_n and_o i_o but_o whatsoever_o evil_n through_o weakness_n or_o violence_n of_o temptation_n i_o or_o other_o may_v be_v overtake_v withal_o yet_o this_o i_o affirm_v that_o the_o remember_v mind_v and_o retain_v the_o lord_n baptism_n we_o have_v receive_v lead_v not_o to_o but_o preserve_v from_o such_o evil_n for_o it_o lead_v we_o to_o acknowledge_v the_o great_a love_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o the_o gift_n of_o his_o son_n and_o testify_v and_o tender_v to_o we_o in_o the_o gospel_n of_o his_o son_n into_o who_o name_n we_o be_v baptize_v and_o so_o to_o count_v ourselves_o engage_v as_o by_o vow_n and_o solemn_a covenant_n which_o since_o we_o come_v to_o use_v of_o understanding_n we_o have_v accept_v to_o be_v the_o lord_n to_o live_v to_o he_o to_o believe_v his_o say_n and_o wait_v for_o his_o spirit_n and_o walk_v in_o his_o way_n as_o be_v fore-shewn_a pag._n 23.24_o if_o any_o say_v we_o plead_v thus_o to_o save_v ourselves_o from_o trouble_n among_o man_n i_o answer_v what_o through_o frailty_n we_o may_v do_v we_o desire_v to_o acknowledge_v and_o seek_v preservation_n from_o or_o if_o overtake_v heal_v of_o it_o but_o it_o will_v be_v no_o comfort_n to_o suffer_v for_o that_o we_o have_v no_o command_n in_o the_o word_n for_o but_o in_o our_o apprehension_n much_o against_o it_o but_o although_o we_o shun_v that_o practice_n yet_o if_o we_o hold_v forth_o the_o word_n of_o life_n in_o word_n and_o conversation_n acknowledge_v the_o say_n and_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n and_o our_o brethren_n witness_v against_o the_o idolatry_n and_o evil_a way_n of_o man_n we_o shall_v suffer_v as_o much_o as_o they_o yea_o and_o with_o they_o while_o we_o acknowledge_v that_o truth_n which_o some_o of_o they_o with_o we_o do_v hold_v though_o we_o urge_v not_o a_o second_o baptism_n as_o of_o old_a some_o do_v circumcision_n to_o glory_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o boast_v of_o another_o man_n line_n withal_o which_o in_o our_o judgement_n will_v befall_v we_o in_o that_o practice_n wherefore_o i_o say_v no_o more_o to_o this_o but_o the_o lord_n make_v we_o so_o mindful_a of_o he_o in_o who_o name_n we_o be_v baptize_v that_o we_o may_v in_o believe_v his_o say_n attend_v his_o ordinance_n and_o accept_v to_o bear_v his_o reproach_n wait_v on_o he_o for_o his_o spirit_n to_o baptize_v we_o more_o and_o more_o into_o union_n and_o conformity_n with_o jesus_n christ_n in_o his_o death_n that_o we_o may_v experiment_n more_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o resurrection_n so_o shall_v we_o be_v more_o separate_a from_o the_o world_n in_o the_o idolatry_n pride_n carnal_a reason_n superstition_n custom_n fashion_n uncleanness_n covetousness_n and_o oppression_n thereof_o and_o be_v find_v more_o love_v tender_a and_o faithful_a to_o one_o another_o and_o fruitful_a to_o the_o spirit_n and_o so_o will_v our_o difference_n be_v heal_v which_o god_n of_o his_o mercy_n grant_v that_o we_o may_v not_o bite_v one_o another_o that_o so_o there_o be_v not_o a_o devour_a nor_o turn_v any_o out_o of_o the_o way_n but_o that_o we_o may_v all_o grow_v in_o grace_n and_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o
