Infant baptisme a cozening shift 3. Pope Innocent the first Author of it To the first baptizo is taken for dipping or sprinkling often as Mat. 3.11 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost And pray are not sanctified men rather sprinkled then plunged with the spirit Are we not imperfect here below knowing in part and sanctified in part Again in Matth. 20.22 Christ sayes he has a Baptisme to be baptized with meaning that of his * Est ergo baptisma triplex fluminis flaminis et sanguinis Passion as Paraeus on the place Now Christ was rather sprinkled than plunged in regard of outward man Suppose the Thorns were on his head indeed we read not of their pulling off and Nailes and Spear wounding also yet he was not wounded in each part of his body Jo. 20.25 Therefore this Baptisme rather was sprinkling then plunging And remember how the Parallel lies between John's Baptisme with water and Christs with spirit Act. 1.5 So if Christs giving the spirit compared to powring in respect of the few drops in the Law be rather sprinkling for Christ onely was plunged with it receiving it without measure so was his Water-baptisme or else the Parallel is nothing which the Evangelist from Christ urges But what think you of that known place in 1 Cor. 10.2 All our Fathers * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 To dip or sprinkle 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 To plunge vide Pasor on the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 these much differ baptized in Cloud and Sea 'T was Water-baptisme yet they went on dry ground some water might sprinkle on them from the Sea as they walked through and a Cloud doth fall by drops as Experience testifies more like to sprinkling than plunging especially considering how little rain falls in those parts where Israel then was if we will believe Travellers or Reason because of the Suns excessive heat drying up the Clouds But what think you of the sprinkling of bloud in the Law so often mentioned Heb. 9.19 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 He sprinkled the people Was not it a type of Christs bloud called the bloud of sprinkling Heb. 12.24 And why shall 〈◊〉 sprinkling on Infants signifying Christs bloud shed for them be counted Baptisme since the word will carry it unless you believe 't is the muchness of water and not the sprinkled bloud of Christ signified by Baptisme doth the work Peter was once for a kind of plunging Joh. 13. till better catechized by our Saviour ver 9 10.

't was night ver 33. and in likelyhood in the Prison into which he sprang with a light ver 29.
