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

of_o christ_n 2._o nay_o there_o be_v not_o only_o in_o baptism_n a_o dedication_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o christ_n to_o his_o kingdom_n and_o grace_n but_o there_o be_v a_o initiation_n of_o the_o

a_o solemn_a adstriction_n and_o bind_v over_o of_o the_o soul_n to_o the_o service_n and_o obedience_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n there_o be_v a_o vow_n and_o a_o covenant_n in_o baptism_n as_o circumcision_n of_o old_a be_v the_o lord_n covenant_n the_o sign_n and_o symbol_n of_o his_o covenant_n with_o the_o jewish_a child_n so_o baptism_n be_v the_o lord_n covenant_n with_o child_n

and_o as_o the_o marry_a woman_n upon_o her_o marriage_n covenant_n with_o her_o husband_n and_o lose_v she_o own_o name_n and_o take_v that_o of_o her_o husband_n so_o the_o baptize_v person_n

the_o great_a truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o the_o world_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v sinner_n that_o he_o be_v incarnate_a have_v die_v and_o be_v rise_v

that_o we_o may_v grow_v up_o in_o he_o so_o beza_n and_o hemingius_n we_o be_v by_o baptism_n as_o it_o be_v implant_v and_o ingraft_v into_o christ_n and_o as_o the_o end_n of_o the_o implantation_n

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

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
