A67315	Baptism anatomized being propounded in five queries, viz. I. What water-baptism is? II. What is the end for which it was instituted? III. What giveth right to it? IV. Who are the true administrators of it? V. Whether it be lawful for a man to baptize himself? Wherein the right that the infants of believers have to water-baptism is vindicated: the duty of believing parents in that matter, asserted: and that by the contrary tenet and practise, they ought themselves to be excluded from the Lords-Supper, is plainly and fully proved. And wherein also is proved, that the covenant which God made with Abraham, Gen. 17. and with Israel Exod. ch. 19. and Deut. 29. are the Covenant of Grace in Christ, and not part of the covenant of works made with Adam before his fall.

in_o ship_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v account_v dip_v in_o their_o body_n in_o water_n again_o another_o great_a argument_n the_o anabaptist_n bring_v to_o prove_v baptism_n to_o be_v mere_a

of_o baptism_n but_o the_o person_n to_o be_v baptise_a as_o the_o anabaptist_n say_v bury_v by_o dip_v the_o whole_a body_n under_o water_n as_o a_o man_n bury_v and_o cover_v with_o earth_n must_v be_v passive_a and_o therefore_o the_o person_n must_v have_v no_o hand_n in_o the_o act_n of_o his_o be_v baptise_a for_o christ_n when_o bury_v be_v whole_o passive_a he_o put_v neither_o foot_n

then_o to_o act_v according_a to_o what_o they_o plead_v for_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o water-baptism_n bury_v in_o baptism_n the_o administrator_n must_v take_v the_o party_n to_o be_v baptise_a up_o

be_v by_o cast_v earth_n upon_o he_o then_o and_o not_o before_o he_o be_v bury_v so_o to_o bury_v a_o man_n be_v to_o cast_v earth_n upon_o he_o so_o in_o water-baptism_n to_o cast_v water_n upon_o be_v to_o bury_v as_o a_o man_n be_v lay_v in_o the_o grave_a and_o so_o cover_v he_o with_o water_n and_o there_o retain_v he_o the_o time_n the_o word_n in_o the_o commission_n of_o christ_n be_v express_v i_o baptise_v thou_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o than_o if_o this_o be_v the_o main_a scripture_n they_o will_v stand_v by_o to_o justify_v baptise_v by_o burying_n as_o they_o call_v dip_v why_o do_v they_o not_o so_o practice_n but_o hypocritical_o plead_v for_o that_o they_o practise_v not_o for_o by_o their_o

for_o the_o whole_a for_o so_o far_o as_o the_o person_n to_o be_v baptise_a put_v himself_o into_o the_o water_n either_o the_o foot_n or_o leg_n or_o thigh_n or_o to_o the_o middle_a so_o far_o the_o party_n baptise_a as_o they_o call_v it_o dip_v themselves_o and_o then_o the_o administrator_n put_v but_o the_o upper_a part_n of_o the_o man_n or_o woman_n that_o be_v out_o of_o the_o

half_a of_o the_o body_n into_o the_o water_n be_v to_o walk_v by_o a_o mere_a implicit_a faith_n because_o some_o learned_a in_o the_o tongue_n say_v the_o word_n signify_v to_o dip_v or_o plunge_v

another_o scripture_n be_v urge_v by_o the_o anabaptist_n to_o prove_v that_o john_n baptise_a at_o enon_n because_o there_o be_v much_o water_n answ_n the_o word_n enon_n be_v the_o name_n of_o a_o

may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v much_o water_n by_o its_o continual_a spring_a up_o yet_o as_o sandy_n and_o the_o travel_n of_o the_o patriarch_n historian_n say_v there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o depth_n of_o water_n stand_v as_o will_v dip_v half_o the_o body_n in_o much_o less_o will_v it_o dip_v the_o whole_a body_n in_o but_o as_o most_o common_o a_o spring_n rise_v on_o upper_a ground_n so_o it_o

another_o reason_n why_o there_o be_v say_v to_o be_v much_o water_n at_o enon_n with_o respect_n to_o the_o part_n of_o the_o country_n be_v forty_o two_o mile_n northward_o from_o jerusalem_n so_o

of_o water_n joshua_n 15._o 18_o 19_o so_o he_o give_v she_o the_o upper_a and_o the_o nether_a spring_n and_o for_o another_o reason_n we_o may_v conceive_v john_n do_v not_o baptise_v at_o enon_n
