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

pollution_n of_o the_o world_n through_o lust_n and_o this_o baptism_n be_v both_o a_o sign_n to_o the_o soul_n commemorative_n of_o what_o christ_n have_v do_v in_o die_v for_o sinner_n and_o declarative_a of_o what_o he_o further_o will_v do_v in_o the_o application_n of_o his_o redemption_n to_o they_o and_o that_o every_o one_o baptize_v walk_v up_o to_o his_o baptismal_a dedication_n

with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v forthwith_o ingraft_v into_o christ_n and_o entitle_v to_o a_o present_a enjoyment_n of_o all_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o death_n 2._o that_o all_o such_o as_o have_v

of_o it_o to_o die_v to_o sin_n like_v as_o he_o die_v for_o sin_n and_o all_o such_o as_o be_v perfect_o baptize_v into_o christ_n have_v their_o sin_n bury_v with_o christ_n and_o their_o sin_n

be_v also_o dead_a in_o they_o so_o as_o it_o be_v impossible_a they_o shall_v any_o long_o serve_v sin_n and_o therefore_o the_o plea_n of_o those_o against_o justification_n of_o grace_n for_o the_o
