where_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o stumbling-stone_n and_o rock_n of_o offence_n and_o another_o of_o the_o same_o prophet_n behold_v i_o lay_v in_o zion_n for_o a_o foundation_n a_o stone_n a_o try_a stone_n 16._o a_o precious_a cornerstone_n a_o sure_a foundation_n he_o that_o believe_v shall_v not_o make_v haste_n which_o both_o st._n paul_n and_o st._n peter_n render_v with_o the_o septuagint_n shall_v not_o be_v ashamed_a now_o from_o hence_o we_o learn_v that_o the_o prophet_n speak_v of_o the_o same_o stone_n that_o the_o stumbling-stone_n and_o rock_n of_o offence_n be_v the_o foundation_n stone_n the_o precious_a cornerstone_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n who_o be_v the_o stumbling-stone_n be_v the_o precious_a cornerstone_n also_o and_o st._n paul_n and_o st._n peter_n tell_v we_o that_o christ_n be_v the_o stumbling-stone_n and_o that_o precious_a cornerstone_n of_o which_o the_o prophet_n speak_v that_o be_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o lord_n of_o host_n to_o who_o to_o christ_n come_v as_o unto_o a_o live_a stone_n disallow_v indeed_o of_o man_n 6._o but_o choose_v of_o god_n and_o precious_a you_o also_o as_o lively_a stone_n be_v build_v up_o a_o spiritual_a house_n wherefore_o also_o it_o be_v contain_v in_o scripture_n behold_v i_o lay_v in_o zion_n a_o chief_a cornerstone_n elect_v precious_a and_o he_o that_o believe_v on_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v confound_v or_o ashamed_a all_o that_o our_o historian_n say_v to_o this_o be_v that_o neither_o st._n paul_n 56._o nor_o st._n peter_n cite_v the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n as_o speak_v of_o christ_n but_o only_o as_o in_o some_o sense_n applicable_a to_o he_o namely_o as_o christ_n be_v to_o many_o a_o stone_n of_o stumble_v which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o outface_v the_o world_n with_o downright_a impudence_n and_o to_o charge_v the_o apostle_n with_o abuse_v scripture_n and_o produce_v proof_n which_o be_v no_o proof_n st._n paul_n allege_n this_o prophecy_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o infidelity_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o that_o offence_n they_o shall_v take_v at_o christ_n be_v foretell_v in_o scripture_n which_o answer_v that_o objection_n against_o his_o be_v the_o messiah_n that_o the_o great_a body_n of_o israel_n to_o who_o the_o messiah_n be_v peculiar_o promise_v shall_v reject_v he_o when_o he_o come_v which_o have_v it_o not_o be_v foretell_v have_v be_v a_o very_a unanswerable_a prejudice_n and_o yet_o if_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o prophet_n stumble_a stone_n this_o prophecy_n do_v not_o foretell_v it_o st._n peter_n urge_v this_o prophecy_n to_o prove_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o foundation_n corner_n stone_n elect_a and_o precious_a on_o which_o the_o church_n be_v to_o be_v build_v but_o he_o abuse_v we_o also_o with_o a_o shame_n proof_n if_o this_o prophecy_n be_v not_o mean_v of_o christ._n and_o thus_o these_o man_n rather_o than_o they_o will_v allow_v the_o scripture_n proof_n that_o christ_n be_v god_n destroy_v all_o the_o old_a testament_n proof_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o christianity_n and_o i_o be_o afraid_a they_o be_v able_a to_o give_v we_o no_o good_a proof_n of_o christianity_n without_o they_o and_o yet_o if_o such_o text_n as_o these_o must_v pass_v only_o for_o accommodation_n and_o allusion_n i_o know_v not_o where_o they_o will_v find_v any_o proof_n st._n john_n curious_o observe_v the_o several_a circumstance_n of_o our_o saviour_n death_n and_o show_n that_o they_o be_v the_o accomplishment_n of_o ancient_a prophecy_n and_o among_o other_o that_o of_o pierce_a his_o side_n with_o the_o soldier_n spear_n which_o be_v foretell_v by_o the_o prophet_n zechary_n 10._o they_o shall_v look_v on_o i_o who_o they_o have_v pierce_v which_o be_v confess_v to_o be_v speak_v of_o god_n and_o here_o he_o tell_v we_o again_o that_o the_o word_n in_o the_o prophet_n be_v not_o by_o st._n john_n interpret_v of_o christ_n 37._o but_o accommodate_v to_o christ_n and_o his_o suffering_n and_o thus_o as_o fast_o as_o he_o can_v 65._o one_o after_o another_o he_o accommodate_v away_o all_o the_o proof_n of_o christianity_n for_o we_o may_v as_o well_o prove_v the_o gospel_n out_o of_o homer_n by_o accommodate_v homer_n word_n and_o phrase_n to_o it_o and_o turn_v it_o into_o a_o homerical_a poem_n as_o we_o know_v have_v be_v do_v as_o prove_v it_o by_o accommodate_v the_o phrase_n and_o language_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n to_o it_o which_o be_v never_o intend_v to_o signify_v any_o such_o thing_n this_o i_o think_v be_v to_o ridicule_n and_o profane_a both_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n and_o to_o overthrow_v the_o authority_n of_o both_o but_o i_o be_o quite_o tire_v with_o this_o work_n and_o therefore_o shall_v pass_v over_o his_o other_o old_a testament_n proof_n for_o what_o can_v we_o say_v to_o convince_v these_o man_n that_o such_o old_a testament_n text_n speak_v of_o christ_n who_o will_v not_o believe_v the_o apostle_n themselves_o and_o to_o conclude_v this_o i_o shall_v only_o give_v you_o a_o specimen_fw-la how_o they_o deal_v with_o the_o new_a testament_n also_o in_o two_o or_o three_o instance_n i_o shall_v begin_v with_o the_o form_n of_o baptism_n 19_o go_v you_o therefore_o and_o teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_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 all_o the_o father_n have_v make_v this_o a_o argument_n that_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n be_v one_o god_n because_o we_o be_v baptize_v in_o their_o name_n and_o we_o must_v not_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o any_o creature_n for_o to_o be_v baptize_v in_o their_o name_n signify_v to_o be_v devote_v and_o consecrate_v by_o a_o sacred_a and_o religious_a rite_n to_o the_o faith_n worship_n and_o obedience_n of_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o it_o be_v idolatry_n to_o join_v creature_n with_o god_n in_o so_o solemn_a a_o act_n of_o religion_n in_o the_o same_o act_n whereby_o we_o give_v up_o ourselves_o to_o god_n to_o give_v up_o ourselves_o to_o creature_n in_o the_o same_o form_n of_o word_n without_o make_v any_o other_o difference_n between_o they_o but_o the_o order_n of_o person_n and_o it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o dispute_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o baptise_v in_o the_o name_n for_o whatever_o that_o be_v it_o signify_v the_o very_a same_o to_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o to_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o son_n and_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n our_o saviour_n make_v no_o distinction_n and_o we_o must_v make_v none_o and_o if_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o one_o god_n this_o form_n of_o baptism_n destroy_v the_o distinction_n between_o god_n and_o creature_n and_o devote_v we_o as_o entire_o to_o creature_n as_o to_o god_n we_o must_v consider_v baptism_n as_o the_o sacrament_n of_o our_o initiation_n into_o the_o christian_a religion_n and_o our_o admission_n into_o the_o gospel-covenant_n and_o therefore_o the_o person_n in_o who_o name_n we_o be_v baptize_v be_v that_o god_n who_o receive_v we_o into_o covenant_n and_o to_o who_o worship_n and_o obedience_n we_o consecrate_v ourselves_o our_o historian_n say_v ●7_n that_o to_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o a_o person_n or_o person_n be_v a_o rite_n by_o which_o one_o deliver_v himself_o to_o the_o institution_n instruction_n and_o obedience_n of_o such_o person_n or_o person_n so_o that_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 be_v to_o profess_v to_o be_v lead_v or_o guide_v by_o they_o or_o as_o grotius_n express_v this_o matter_n it_o be_v to_o declare_v we_o will_v admit_v of_o no_o other_o thing_n as_o a_o part_n of_o our_o religion_n but_o what_o proceed_v from_o these_o that_o be_v nothing_o but_o what_o be_v command_v by_o god_n or_o the_o father_n and_o have_v be_v deliver_v by_o his_o son_n the_o lord_n christ_n and_o confirm_v external_o by_o miracle_n and_o internal_o with_o the_o witness_n and_o testimony_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v by_o the_o power_n and_o

include_v our_o profession_n of_o believe_v the_o gospel_n and_o make_v that_o the_o sole_a rule_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o worship_n those_o who_o be_v baptize_v do_v own_o as_o grotius_n speak_v
