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 ...

our_o child_n baptize_v the_o answer_n be_v we_o be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n to_o this_o end_n 1._o that_o we_o shall_v bear_v a_o testimony_n to_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o hold_v forth_o 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

be_v the_o alone_a object_n of_o our_o hope_n that_o we_o rest_v upon_o he_o and_o he_o alone_o for_o eternal_a life_n and_o salvation_n this_o be_v the_o very_a end_n why_o we_o be_v baptize_v 3._o 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

which_o we_o be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n be_v that_o we_o may_v grow_v up_o in_o christ_n 6._o the_o phrase_n may_v be_v understand_v to_o signify_v the_o fruit_n of_o baptism_n lest_o any_o shall_v say_v what_o good_a be_v there_o of_o this_o sacrament_n or_o what_o avail_v baptism_n say_v the_o apostle_n we_o be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n this_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o baptism_n the_o baptise_a person_n have_v a_o interest_n and_o relation_n give_v he_o to_o christ_n and_o be_v become_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n sacramental_o so_o real_o so_o all_o baptize_v person_n have_v a_o

distinguish_v of_o circumcision_n rom._n 2._o 26_o 27_o 29._o tell_v we_o there_o be_v a_o circumcision_n in_o the_o letter_n and_o of_o the_o flesh_n and_o there_o be_v a_o circumcision_n of_o the_o heart_n in_o the_o spirit_n so_o we_o must_v distinguish_v of_o baptism_n there_o be_v a_o baptism_n of_o water_n and_o there_o be_v a_o baptism_n with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n there_o be_v a_o baptism_n of_o the_o letter_n and_o upon_o the_o flesh_n and_o there_o be_v a_o baptism_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o the_o spirit_n now_o this_o latter_a be_v the_o baptism_n into_o christ_n the_o other_o be_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n but_o this_o most_o proper_o into_o christ_n it_o signify_v that_o we_o pass_v into_o christ_n say_v p._n martyr_n so_o as_o i_o think_v there_o be_v some_o difference_n and_o that_o a_o great_a one_o betwixt_o the_o phrase_n use_v here_o and_o gal._n 3._o 27._o baptise_v into_o christ_n and_o that_o use_v in_o many_o other_o scripture_n of_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n i_o will_v short_o offer_v you_o my_o reason_n for_o my_o opinion_n as_o to_o this_o phrase_n signify_v thus_o much_o 1._o in_o the_o first_o place_n the_o 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 person_n but_o such_o only_a as_o be_v baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o according_a to_o the_o phrase_n of_o this_o text_n baptise_a into_o christ_n 3._o this_o phrase_n be_v but_o once_o more_o find_v in_o scripture_n gal._n 3._o 27._o where_o you_o have_v another_o predicate_v affix_v to_o the_o subject_n of_o this_o proposition_n there_o it_o be_v as_o many_o of_o you_o as_o have_v be_v
