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

the_o exercise_n of_o faith_n and_o of_o repentance_n repentance_n the_o force_n of_o this_o lie_v in_o the_o solemn_a dedication_n of_o the_o person_n to_o god_n and_o the_o soul_n solemn_a

he_o that_o be_v dead_a be_v free_a from_o sin_n the_o meditation_n of_o this_o be_v of_o great_a use_n to_o engage_v we_o to_o holiness_n as_o there_o be_v in_o this_o ordinance_n a_o engagement_n

question_v especial_o consider_v the_o world_n be_v never_o very_o apt_a to_o believe_v story_n of_o distinguish_a grace_n or_o providence_n therefore_o god_n institute_v the_o passover_n to_o

therein_o he_o may_v be_v overtake_v with_o fault_n he_o do_v sin_n seven_o time_n in_o a_o day_n and_o who_o know_v how_o often_o he_o offend_v but_o he_o sin_v not_o as_o other_o man_n he_o can_v

apostle_n phrase_n seem_v to_o i_o to_o restrain_v the_o subject_n of_o the_o proposition_n he_o do_v not_o say_v all_o of_o we_o be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n and_o so_o into_o his_o death_n but_o as_o many_o of_o we_o as_o be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n be_v baptize_v into_o his_o death_n as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v many_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n but_o some_o of_o we_o have_v not_o only_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n according_a to_o the_o sorm_n he_o have_v prescribe_v with_o solemn_a invocation_n of_o his_o name_n but_o we_o have_v upon_o our_o baptism_n true_o believe_v be_v ingraft_v into_o christ_n and_o unite_v to_o he_o now_o so_o many_o of_o we_o as_o have_v be_v thus_o not_o only_o be_v formal_o but_o real_o baptize_v into_o christ_n have_v with_o the_o sign_n receive_v the_o thing_n signify_v be_v baptize_v into_o his_o death_n 2._o again_o observe_v the_o predicate_a as_o many_o of_o we_o say_v the_o apostle_n as_o be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n be_v baptize_v into_o his_o death_n i_o be_o aware_a that_o that_o phrase_n may_v be_v interpret_v and_o be_v by_o some_o as_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o more_o by_o and_o by_o into_o the_o sign_n and_o symbol_n of_o his_o death_n but_o i_o do_v not_o take_v that_o interpretation_n to_o be_v comprehensive_a of_o the_o full_a of_o what_o that_o phrase_n import_v i_o think_v it_o be_v interpret_v v._o 6._o know_v that_o our_o old_a man_n be_v crucify_v with_o he_o that_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n may_v be_v destroy_v which_o can_v be_v understand_v of_o all_o baptize_v

be_v

baptism_n wherein_o the_o baptize_v person_n be_v bury_v with_o water_n signify_v the_o burial_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o that_o soul_n with_o christ_n who_o shall_v true_o repent_v and_o believe_v and_o

with_o the_o doctrinal_a part_n of_o my_o discourse_n and_o the_o proposition_n thus_o explain_v amount_v to_o these_o two_o thing_n 1._o that_o every_o person_n who_o have_v come_v under_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n by_o virtue_n thereof_o be_v dedicate_v to_o god_n and_o stand_v oblige_v to_o believe_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o to_o make_v a_o profession_n of_o that_o

this_o trust_n that_o he_o or_o she_o shall_v not_o be_v ashamed_a of_o christ_n and_o his_o gospel_n but_o shall_v accept_v of_o christ_n and_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n through_o he_o reveal_v to_o the_o world_n and_o commit_v all_o its_o spiritual_a concern_v unto_o he_o and_o rest_n upon_o he_o and_o he_o alone_o for_o life_n and_o salvation_n and_o grow_v up_o in_o he_o avoid_v the_o 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 and_o covenant_n shall_v certain_o enjoy_v the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o all_o such_o as_o come_v not_o only_o under_o the_o ordinance_n but_o who_o be_v full_o and_o perfect_o baptize_v 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 come_v under_o the_o holy_a ordinance_n of_o baptism_n aught_o to_o look_v back_o upon_o their_o baptism_n as_o the_o image_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o upon_o themselves_o oblige_v by_o virtue_n 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 can_v no_o more_o rise_v up_o in_o judgement_n against_o they_o than_o one_o that_o be_v bury_v can_v rise_v up_o to_o do_v his_o former_a action_n in_o the_o world_n and_o the_o power_n of_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

such_o person_n be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n and_o bury_v with_o christ_n by_o baptism_n into_o death_n this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o full_a sense_n of_o the_o text_n and_o the_o proposition_n
