dependent or hanging vppon their preaching This word once is added as that which is gathered out of the institution of Christe who willeth them to minister to every beleeuer baptisme not baptismes who saith not of this as of the Supper as often as you do this Also according to the plaine example of the Apostles who would not haue the members of the Church baptized the secōd time as appeareth by this that those who beleeued continued in the doctrine of the Apostles in communication breaking of bread and praier but not in beeing baptized Act. 2. And also that Paule finding those that wer baptized of Iohn had not receiued the gifts of the holy Ghost doth instruct them of the doctrine of Christ the baptisme answering the same doeth not baptize them againe but laying on handes on them they received visible giftes of the holie Ghost Act. 19.4.5 And the reason of this is because it sealeth vp our washing in Christ our once being borne againe our once setling into the body of Christ our once spirituall mariage with him as shal after more plainly appeare Washing or baptizing Both are added because washing is necessarie to the Sacrament and yet there may be washing without baptizing as it doth signifie in his narrow and straight signification that is a washing with a whole plūging of them in water So then we must knowe that washing is of necessitie because so S. Paule declareth the nature of Baptisme Eph. 5.26 The washing of water through the word and that is applyed in the word Baptize vsed of our Saviour which doth signifie a plunging to make cleane and wash away the filth and therefore this is necessarie because of the proportion and relation it must haue with our spiritual washing of our newe birth Tit. 3.5 For the purpose of Christ is to set down before our eies liuely in this outward bare applying of water the applying of Christ vnto vs in our new birth that as we knowe in washing there is a being vnder the water a soking vp of the filth and leaving it behind so this might be liuely set foorth in three things answering the same in our justification and sanctification as shal after appeare which was also most liuelie noted in that plunging before Now in that it is added with water that must needes be vnderstood in the wordes of our Savior Christ as appeareth by the Apostle The washing of water c. and in the words of Iohn Baptist I baptize you with water And in Act. 10. in the end He called for water and cōmanded them to be baptized and by the storie of the Euneuch And indeed because nothing is apt to sette forth the blood of Christ his merits which is apt to cleanse and wash vs but water which leaveth no filth herein therefore wee learne plainly that Christ would liuely teach vs and make vs see and feel in his outward worke that same which is inward That which is further adjoined Into the name of the Father the Sonne and the holie Ghost is that which pertaineth to the forme of this Sacrament that so we should bee washed that thereby it might be noted we are segregated from the world to haue fellowship with one God in three persons as a wife with an husbande which is noted by this into the name that is to beare the name in being one with these three persons by faith and by hanging on them for all gouernment blessing c. Whereof it commeth that as the wife is called by the name of the husband and to beare the mans name or to haue his name called on a woman is to bee a wife Esai 4.1 so to be into the name of God to bear his name is to be seperated and dedicated to him as his spouse to obey him and receiue protection and nourishment from him alone in Christ as Dan. 9.18 And Paule also saith Into whose name were ye baptized into the name of Paule Was Paul crucified for you I baptized none into mine own name 1. Cor. 1 For none was by baptisme washed to beare Paules name to come as a wife in the Church to him to haue spirituall fellowship nourishment and government from him And so this interpretation standeth the worde for it is the word vnto as 1. Cor. 10. with the circumstance conference of Scriptures as also the Fathers their interpretation to prooue the Trinitie of persons in one God because euery one is God because we beare his name look for our salvation life government c. as a wife from an husband From these three persons which are one God and so we learn in this former maner of baptisme we are called from the fellowship of the world of Sathan sin c. to haue fellowship with God Thus we see the outward part of this Sacrament plainly prooved out of this place Nowe it followeth that we come to the second or inward part that which is represented and offered to all and applied to the true beleever receiver by the the outward work as an instrument as hath bin declared before The inward matter is first our once setting into the body of Christ for euer then the end fruite of the same applied in this Sacrament Concerning the first although it bee not here expressed yet it is to be gathered hence by the diligent consideration of the last words conference of Scripture For when this word doth clearly say Wee are joyned with one God in three persons to haue all necessary benefites from him And further that wee cannot knowe God or come to him but by Iesus Christ Ioh. 17.2 That we cannot be his sons but by him Rom. 8.9.17 Gal. 3.26 That we cannot beare any fruit except we be in him who is the Vine as Iohn saith chap. 15. That we cannot bee justified and sanctified but in the name of Iesus Christ and the Spirit of our God 1. Cor. 6.13 that the washing of our new birth cannot bee shedde on vs aboundantlie but through Iesus Christ our Savior therfore this is to bee joined once to God for euer which must needes be to bee for euer once set into Christe and seeing the other in baptisme must needes bee by the effectuall applying of his benefits to vs we must needs be first in him and therefore Saint Paule saith Christ gaue himself for his Church that he might purge it cleanse it and might present it holie perfit without blame spot or wrinckle by the washing of water through the word Ephe. 5. Therefore we are said in Baptisme to bee engrafted into Iesus Christ Roman 6.3 To be ingrafted with him into the similitude of his death and resurrection Rom. 6.5.6 Col. 2.11.12 We are said in Baptisme to put on Christ Gal. 3.27 Now it is said further that we are set in him once for ever because he that cōmeth to Christ once he casteth him not away Iohn 6.37 he shall never hunger 35. he shal not be lost 39. he shal
