towards_o you_o and_o partly_o also_o a_o memorial_n of_o the_o author_n your_o depart_a friend_n who_o be_v now_o in_o bless_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o your_o worship_n will_v please_v to_o give_v a_o kind_a acceptance_n to_o this_o my_o poor_a offer_n not_o weigh_v the_o worth_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o but_o rather_o as_o you_o be_v wont_v the_o mind_n and_o good_a will_n of_o he_o that_o

of_o true_a and_o heavenly_a wisdom_n as_o touch_v baptism_n i_o think_v when_o we_o serious_o consider_v with_o ourselves_o what_o weighty_a thing_n be_v do_v therein_o and_o mutual_o pass_v betwixt_o god_n and_o we_o we_o can_v but_o see_v it_o to_o be_v utter_o a_o fault_n so_o easy_o to_o cast_v aside_o all_o thought_n about_o it_o and_o to_o make_v it_o such_o a_o stranger_n to_o our_o meditation_n as_o usual_o we_o do_v for_o i_o own_o part_n i_o know_v not_o whether_o any_o one_o thing_n be_v more_o worthy_a of_o a_o christian_n consideration_n than_o be_v his_o baptism_n for_o by_o it_o as_o by_o a_o conduit_n it_o please_v god_n to_o convey_v unto_o we_o the_o best_a of_o his_o favour_n for_o example_n whereas_o by_o nature_n as_o scripture_n speak_v we_o be_v alien_n from_o god_n and_o son_n of_o wrath_n 2.3.12_o ephes_n 2.3.12_o when_o we_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 we_o be_v bring_v into_o a_o holy_a fellowship_n with_o the_o bless_a trinity_n and_o be_v admit_v into_o the_o family_n of_o christ_n ever_o after_o to_o remain_v as_o adopt_a son_n in_o the_o house_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n a_o most_o bless_a condition_n again_o 2.1_o ephes_n 2.1_o whereas_o by_o nature_n we_o be_v all_o dead_a and_o rot_a in_o sin_n and_o altogether_o devoid_a of_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n in_o baptism_n we_o receive_v quicknance_n from_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o whereas_o our_o poor_a soul_n be_v beggarly_a clad_v with_o nature_n cloth_n which_o be_v god_n wot_v nought_o else_o but_o a_o tear_a and_o rot_a rag_n of_o old_a adam_n in_o baptism_n we_o lay_v aside_o that_o old_a and_o put_v on_o a_o new_a and_o most_o costly_a coat_n even_o the_o rich_a robe_n of_o christ_n his_o righteousness_n whereby_o the_o whole_a church_n the_o spouse_n of_o christ_n do_v stand_v as_o a_o glorious_a object_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n for_o evermore_o last_o whereas_o by_o nature_n we_o be_v most_o filthy_a and_o loathsome_a in_o god_n eye_n no_o leper_n or_o lazer_n so_o loathsome_a to_o we_o as_o we_o to_o god_n for_o as_o the_o child_n new_o bear_v lie_v tumble_v in_o blood_n so_o we_o in_o sin_n in_o baptism_n we_o be_v wash_v by_o the_o clean_a water_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o thereby_o free_v from_o the_o spot_n and_o guilt_n of_o sin_n 5._o 2._o king_n 5._o as_o naaman_n be_v from_o his_o leprosy_n in_o the_o river_n jordan_n thus_o by_o our_o baptism_n of_o stranger_n to_o god_n we_o become_v even_o god_n associate_n of_o limb_n of_o the_o devil_n member_n of_o christ_n of_o beggar_n brat_n poor_o clad_v king_n son_n rich_o attire_v in_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n of_o pollute_a and_o unclean_a pure_a and_o amiable_a 〈◊〉_d thus_o be_v we_o bless_v when_o we_o be_v baptize_v with_o water_n and_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n now_o further_o see_v we_o what_o great_a thing_n do_v pass_v from_o we_o to_o god_n in_o our_o baptism_n sure_o as_o god_n therein_o become_v a_o god_n unto_o we_o so_o we_o become_v a_o people_n to_o he_o we_o renounce_v the_o world_n and_o proclaim_v a_o defiance_n to_o sin_n and_o satan_n we_o dedicate_v ourselves_o soul_n and_o body_n to_o the_o service_n and_o worship_n of_o the_o most_o high_a and_o as_o david_n vow_v to_o keep_v god_n commandment_n so_o do_v we_o by_o a_o solemn_a vow_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n bind_v ourselves_o to_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o to_o become_v as_o it_o be_v god_n apprentice_n or_o rather_o the_o loyal_a subject_n and_o faithful_a soldier_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n to_o fight_v under_o his_o colour_n and_o maintain_v his_o quarrel_n against_o all_o adversary_n power_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o his_o glory_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o in_o our_o baptism_n the_o lord_n do_v great_a thing_n for_o we_o and_o we_o promise_v great_a thing_n to_o god_n again_o how_o requisite_a a_o thing_n be_v it_o therefore_o nay_o how_o necessary_a that_o we_o shall_v now_o and_o then_o admit_v of_o thought_n about_o our_o baptism_n that_o so_o we_o may_v have_v a_o sense_n and_o feel_n of_o the_o comfort_n of_o those_o blessing_n of_o god_n which_o there_o we_o receive_v and_o also_o be_v quicken_v up_o to_o the_o careful_a performance_n of_o what_o we_o have_v so_o solemn_o promise_v for_o this_o very_a cause_n i_o wish_v that_o this_o little_a treatise_n concern_v this_o argument_n may_v be_v as_o a_o remembrancer_n to_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n of_o these_o thing_n which_o be_v of_o such_o weight_n and_o so_o near_o do_v concern_v us._n as_o touch_v that_o other_o sermon_n in_o it_o we_o may_v see_v very_o exact_o and_o judicious_o handle_v that_o rare_a and_o singular_a virtue_n so_o oft_o speak_v of_o in_o the_o scripture_n and_o call_v by_o this_o name_n the_o fear_n of_o god_n a_o most_o excellent_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o useful_a almost_o as_o any_o other_o to_o help_v forward_o a_o christian_a life_n and_o no_o less_o gainful_a in_o bring_v in_o god_n blessing_n as_o for_o a_o christian_a life_n as_o we_o know_v it_o be_v chief_o spend_v in_o two_o thing_n that_o be_v abstain_v from_o evil_a and_o endeavour_v that_o which_o be_v good_a or_o as_o isaiah_n speak_v in_o cease_v to_o do_v evil_a 1.16.17_o isaiah_n 1.16.17_o and_o learning_n to_o do_v well_o now_o both_o these_o be_v stream_n flow_v from_o one_o and_o the_o same_o sountaine_n viz._n 3.7_o prou._n 3.7_o the_o fear_n of_o jehovah_n solomon_n say_v the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v to_o hate_v evil_a prou._n 8.13_o there_o be_v god_n fear_v the_o cause_n of_o surcease_n from_o evil_a he_o further_o say_v pron_z 14.2_o he_o that_o walk_v in_o righteousness_n fear_v the_o lord_n where_o the_o wise_a man_n reason_v from_o the_o effect_n to_o the_o cause_n &_o show_v that_o god_n fear_n be_v it_o that_o cause_v a_o man_n to_o walk_v righteous_o that_o be_v to_o do_v well_o and_o indeed_o there_o be_v never_o any_o man_n that_o fear_v god_n but_o endeavour_v in_o the_o course_n of_o his_o life_n to_o please_v god_n in_o well-doing_n so_o then_o as_o we_o see_v man_n that_o ride_v in_o order_v his_o horse_n do_v use_v a_o bridle_n &_o a_o spur_n a_o bridle_n to_o restrain_v he_o if_o he_o be_v too_o free_a a_o spur_n to_o prick_v he_o on_o forward_o if_o he_o be_v dull_a so_o in_o order_v our_o life_n the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v as_o a_o bridle_n to_o curb_v we_o from_o rush_v into_o sin_n and_o as_o a_o spur_n to_o prick_v we_o on_o forward_o and_o quicken_v our_o slow_a and_o lazy_a nature_n to_o that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o please_a to_o god_n yet_o moreover_o as_o this_o be_v a_o virtue_n of_o great_a use_n in_o direct_v we_o to_o heaven_n so_o i_o may_v true_o call_v it_o as_o the_o apostle_n do_v call_v godliness_n great_a gain_n for_o it_o bring_v in_o with_o it_o the_o abundance_n of_o god_n blessing_n in_o so_o much_o as_o whosoever_o will_v attempt_v to_o trade_n therewith_o shall_v find_v her_o revenue_n to_o be_v very_o great_a and_o that_o which_o solomon_n say_v of_o wisdom_n prou._n 3.14_o will_v be_v verify_v of_o she_o
