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

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 die_v unto_o sin_n 3._o when_o the_o lord_n together_o with_o the_o external_a sign_n confer_v his_o grace_n signify_v by_o that_o sign_n the_o sin_n of_o that_o soul_n be_v in_o that_o moment_n bury_v with_o christ_n so_o as_o they_o shall_v appear_v no_o more_o either_o to_o their_o soul_n eternal_a condemnation_n or_o in_o their_o former_a power_n and_o dominion_n as_o our_o apostle_n afterward_o speak_v in_o this_o chapter_n sin_n shall_v not_o have_v dominion_n over_o your_o mortal_a body_n because_o you_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n i_o have_v now_o do_v 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 faith_n and_o be_v from_o that_o day_n make_v a_o member_n of_o the_o mystical_a body_n of_o christ_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o it_o be_v visible_a and_o have_v receive_v that_o holy_a sign_n upon_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 righteousness_n of_o christ_n impute_v to_o the_o soul_n must_v be_v vain_a for_o that_o holy_a doctrine_n can_v possible_o open_v a_o door_n to_o a_o licentious_a conversation_n because_o all_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 which_o i_o have_v deliver_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n let_v i_o now_o come_v to_o the_o application_n of_o this_o discourse_n instruct_v 1._o this_o in_o the_o first_o place_n may_v by_o way_n of_o instruction_n let_v we_o know_v that_o baptism_n consider_v as_o to_o the_o action_n be_v a_o most_o solemn_a serious_a action_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v so_o look_v upon_o both_o by_o the_o administrator_n and_o by_o those_o who_o offer_v themselves_o or_o their_o child_n unto_o it_o and_o consider_v as_o a_o ordinance_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o most_o useful_a institution_n i_o will_v dwell_v a_o little_a upon_o both_o these_o branch_n it_o be_v indeed_o my_o great_a design_n in_o this_o discourse_n to_o recover_v to_o this_o ordinance_n the_o gravity_n and_o reverence_n that_o be_v due_a to_o it_o and_o to_o make_v my_o hearer_n a_o little_o better_a to_o understand_v the_o meaning_n and_o usefulness_n of_o it_o than_o the_o most_o of_o our_o people_n seem_v to_o do_v the_o truth_n be_v we_o be_v degenerate_v into_o such_o a_o careless_a slighty_a administration_n of_o this_o sacred_a institution_n as_o if_o the_o baptise_v of_o a_o child_n be_v a_o action_n of_o no_o grave_a import_n than_o wash_v its_o face_n and_o a_o opportunity_n among_o the_o rich_a to_o call_v friend_n together_o for_o a_o banquet_n or_o among_o those_o of_o mean_a rank_n to_o call_v the_o rich_a together_o to_o make_v they_o or_o their_o midwife_n or_o nurse_v some_o small_a present_n let_v i_o therefore_o evince_v to_o you_o 1._o that_o it_o be_v a_o most_o serious_a action_n 2._o that_o it_o be_v a_o most_o useful_a institution_n 1._o that_o it_o be_v a_o most_o serious_a action_n two_o thing_n in_o my_o former_a discourse_n will_v evince_v this_o 1._o that_o in_o baptism_n there_o be_v a_o solemn_a dedication_n of_o the_o person_n baptize_v unto_o christ_n 2._o that_o there_o be_v in_o it_o a_o solemn_a adstriction_n or_o stipulation_n or_o engagement_n of_o the_o party_n baptize_v unto_o christ_n 1._o i_o say_v first_o there_o be_v in_o it_o a_o solemn_a dedication_n of_o the_o person_n god_n there_o be_v in_o baptism_n a_o solemn_a dedication_n of_o the_o person_n baptize_v to_o god_n unto_o christ_n if_o the_o person_n baptize_v be_v adult_n and_o grow_v up_o he_o or_o she_o dedicate_v themselves_o if_o they_o be_v baptize_v in_o their_o

and_o of_o that_o thy_o way_n of_o salvation_n and_o do_v from_o my_o heart_n this_o day_n set_v myself_o apart_o unto_o thou_o and_o solemn_o offer_v up_o myself_o unto_o thou_o i_o be_o christ_n
