maids Go and get ye Gowns made with lead in the lower end of the skirt thereof and shift ye and then come again to us and we will baptize every one of you 3. How could it be possible that so few as the Apostles were not exceeding Twelve in number if they were all there should be able to trip and dip three thousand men women and maids according to their Principle and practice in so short a time as but part of a day 2. I shall prove Baptism to be by Sprinkling c. from the Levitical Law and not by Immersion of Dipping 1. Negatively If there is nothing to be done in Gospel-Worship and Ordinances but what there must be an Example or Shadow from that Pattern which God shewed unto Moses in the Mount with all its Appendix that were then in force c. then baptism cannot be by dipping But nothing ought to be done in Gospel-Worship and Ordinances but what there must be an Example or Shadow for from that Pattern which God shewed unto Moses in the Mount with all its Appendix that were then in force such as Circumcision and Sacrifices which were then in being and long before the Ceremonial Law Therefore baptism cannot be by immersion or dipping under water because there is no manner of shadow or Example for that way of baptizing in all the Ceremonial Law nor its Appendix thereunto belonging Now for proof of which let us address our selves to the Scriptures gradually as we go along 1. In Heb. 10. For the law having a shadow of good things to come and not the very image of the things Pray mind the Law was but a shadow of good things to come and what these good things are I shall have occasion to declare by and by 2. I shall prove that baptism ought to be by sprinkling and pouring water on the subjects baptized 1. Thus If there be an Example or Shadow for sprinkling in baptism from that Pattern which God shewed unto Moses in the Mount then baptism is by sprinkling c. But there is an Example or Shadow of sprinkling c. from that Pattern which God shewed unto Moses in the Mount Therefore baptism is by sprinkling Now for the Proof of this I shall call in many Scriptures to testifie the truth of it and the first shall be that 1. In Heb. 8. For if he were on earth he should not be a priest seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle For see saith he that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mou●t Pray observe these all things that were then to be made according to the pattern shewn in the Mount were the Example and Shadow of the Heavenly thing● which is the same with that afore-mentioned Text A shadow of g●…d things to 〈◊〉 namely the Gospel-Ordinances and Worship which must be according to the pattern shewn by God to Moses in the Mount 2. The Apostle reproved the Hebrews that were reconciled to the Christian Religion for cleaving to and hankering after the abolished Ceremonial Law for he told them in effect that they robbed Christ of the Honour and Glory of his priestly Office for saith he unto them If he that was Christ were on earth he should not be a priest seeing there are priests that offer gifts according to the Law and then he proceeds to tell them that the Law was but an Example and Shadow of the Gospel-Ordinances and Worship those heavenly things and a shadow of good things to come not the very Image or Substance of the things 3. If there were no Example or Type for dipping in baptism then there can be no Antitype Therefore it cannot be baptism for there was nothing among all the Examples and Shadows of the Heavenly things that was any thing like dipping in baptism 4. But fourthly I will produce you a Cloud of Witnesses which all center in a Type for sprinkling in baptism 1. In Exod. 24. And Moses took the bloud and sprinkled it on the people and said Behold the bloud of the covenant which the Lord hath made with you Now was not this a lively Type or Seal of the Covenant namely Baptism for it signifieth the same thing as Baptism doth viz. Regeneration Sanctification and renewing Grace which cost Christ the price of his precious blood which is the blood of the covenant for he was given for a covenant to the people and therefore Moses said Behold the blood of the covenant which the Lord hath made with you and yet that blood in it self was but the blood of a beast 2. In Exod. 29. And thou shalt stay the ram and thou shalt take his blood and sprinkle it round about upon the altar 3. In Levit. 1. And he shall kill the bullock before the Lord and the priests Aarons sons shall bring the blood and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation 4. In Ezek. 36. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you and ye shall be clean from all your filthiness and from all your idols will I cleanse you A new heart also will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and I will give you an heart of flesh Here is God's Promise to the Jews the Race of his old covenanted peculiar People predicted which is to be renewed and fulfilled in this latter day of the Gospel as in verses 6 7 8 9 10 11. compared with Rom. 11.25 26 27. First here in Ezek. is their baptism predicted viz. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you for as they were a baptized Church under the Law so they shall be again under the Gospel 1 Cor. 10.2 3 4. And that was also by sprinkling Secondly here is their Calling and Conversion predicted and promised viz. A new heart also will I give you c. 4. And lastly Pray mind these Scriptures for they are all for sprinkling Levit. 9.9 18. ch 4.6 17 18. ch 5.9 13. ch 8.11 24. ch 14. 7 8 9 16 51. Numb 19.18 19 20 21. ●2 Chro● 29.22 ch 30.16 Now what could all these sprinklings and pourings of blood and water be an Example and Shadow of if not of baptism Therefore I demand Two Things of our Opponents 1. If sprinkling in baptism be not the Antitype of all these sprinklings and pourings aforesaid Then I challenge them to find out and discover unto us some other Gospel-Ordinances wherein the subjects are all passive as those were of these Sprinklings under the Law that is more apposite to it than sprinkling in baptism is to the Examples and Shadows of the Heavenly things which were the good things that were come 2. Let them produce us a Type under the
