thereof_o 106._o question_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o seem_v that_o the_o apostle_n change_v somewhat_o in_o that_o same_o form_n as_o be_v say_v to_o have_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n answer_n by_o these_o word_n it_o be_v not_o show_v after_o what_o manner_n the_o apostle_n baptize_v for_o who_o can_v probable_o think_v that_o the_o apostle_n in_o that_o express_a

fruit_n itself_o and_o to_o be_v short_a the_o very_a matter_n itself_o of_o baptism_n may_v be_v declare_v question_n but_o what_o be_v the_o end_n of_o baptism_n answer_n this_o shall_v very_o

of_o baptism_n be_v nothing_o question_n this_o seem_v a_o hard_a say_n to_o i_o answer_n and_o yet_o so_o paul_n speak_v when_o he_o say_v that_o he_o which_o plant_v and_o he_o 7._o 1._o cor._n 3._o 7._o which_o water_v be_v nothing_o but_o the_o case_n stand_v thus_o in_o very_a deed_n the_o ministry_n of_o man_n be_v somewhat_o yea_o indeed_o it_o be_v that_o very_a thing_n that_o whosoever_o despise_v despise_v god_n himself_o but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o so_o god_n 16._o luke_n 10._o 16._o use_v the_o ministry_n of_o man_n that_o the_o whole_a work_v power_n rest_v in_o god_n himself_o neither_o do_v the_o same_o here_o fall_v out_o as_o in_o they_o who_o god_n use_v to_o the_o maintenance_n of_o this_o mortal_a life_n of_o man_n for_o father_n in_o beget_n of_o child_n be_v such_o instrument_n of_o god_n that_o the_o engender_v power_n of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o receive_a power_n of_o pour_v in_o life_n be_v engraft_v in_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o the_o

lose_v in_o themselves_o he_o so_o use_v their_o work_n who_o he_o appoint_v too_o the_o word_n of_o salvation_n and_o too_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n that_o beside_o the_o declaration_n of_o his_o will_n from_o who_o they_o be_v send_v they_o bring_v to_o pass_v nothing_o at_o all_o therefore_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o minister_n be_v this_o that_o pour_v forth_o water_n he_o wet_v he_o that_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v but_o now_o the_o only_a effect_n of_o water_n pour_v forth_o whether_o it_o be_v common_a water_n or_o sacramental_a appoint_v to_o a_o holy_a

of_o man_n come_v between_o to_o wit_n the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n by_o free_a undeserued_a imputation_n and_o regeneration_n which_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n dwell_v in_o we_o and_o by_o little_a and_o little_a abolish_n sin_n in_o us._n 108._o question_n do_v thou_o therefore_o distinguish_v between_o sin_n and_o sin_n answer_n yea_o what_o else_o for_o the_o apostle_n be_v wont_v to_o call_v that_o natural_a corruption_n of_o the_o whole_a man_n sin_n or_o else_o the_o flesh_n set_v against_o the_o spirit_n john_n 3._o 6._o and_o oftentimes_o in_o other_o place_n which_o also_o by_o itself_o be_v sin_n when_o it_o dissent_v from_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o enforce_v to_o sin_n whereupon_o it_o be_v call_v sin_n sin_v rom._n 7._o 13._o now_o all_o the_o

rom._n 7._o 5._o 109._o question_n what_o therefore_o do_v thou_o call_v remission_n of_o sin_n answer_n that_o same_o great_a benefit_n whereby_o it_o be_v bring_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o

the_o law_n perform_v by_o christ_n be_v set_v and_o appoint_v 110._o question_n but_o what_o call_v thou_o regeneration_n answer_n another_o gift_n of_o the_o same_o christ_n whereby_o it_o be_v bring_v too_o pass_v that_o that_o corruption_n both_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o guiltiness_n of_o it_o and_o in_o respect_n of_o itself_o only_o be_v not_o impute_v unto_o we_o but_o also_o be_v

create_v the_o new_a begin_v even_o from_o the_o very_a first_o moment_n of_o baptism_n answer_n fie_o upon_o this_o error_n also_o of_o the_o work_n wrought_v the_o fruit_n of_o baptism_n therefore_o begin_v in_o that_o moment_n or_o time_n wherein_o faith_n begin_v which_o in_o very_a deed_n sometime_o go_v before_o baptism_n as_o appear_v in_o cornelius_n act._n 10._o 47._o but_o sometime_o

application_n or_o communicate_v to_o be_v mere_a spiritual_a and_o mystical_a 58._o question_n why_o do_v thou_o call_v it_o spiritual_a answer_n first_o that_o i_o may_v shut_v out_o all_o touch_v of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n with_o our_o body_n all_o local_a coherence_n and_o exist_v together_o and_o to_o conclude_v that_o monstruous_a opinion_n of_o eat_v with_o the_o mouth_n as_o mere_a cyclopicall_a howsoever_o it_o be_v excuse_v with_o other_o no_o less_o feign_a devise_n of_o not_o beingseen_a &_o be_v without_o place_n next_o because_o this_o partake_a in_o respect_n of_o we_o be_v wrough_n by_o the_o only_a hand_n and_o mouth_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o of_o faith_n for_o this_o be_v the_o meat_n as_o augustine_n have_v very_o well_o say_v not_o of_o the_o belly_n but_o of_o the_o mind_n 59_o question_n but_o why_o do_v thou_o call_v it_o mystical_a answer_n that_o i_o may_v teach_v that_o this_o knit_n together_o whereby_o we_o be_v make_v flesh_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o bone_n of_o his_o bone_n to_o wit_n by_o a_o certain_a spiritual_a marriage_n do_v depend_v of_o the_o only_a power_n of_o the_o almighty_a spirit_n altogether_o secret_a and_o

witness_v that_o we_o must_v be_v make_v one_o with_o christ_n that_o we_o must_v be_v incorporate_v into_o christ_n &_o beknit_v to_o he_o as_o member_n to_o the_o head_n so_o that_o he_o may_v live_v in_o we_o and_o we_o in_o he_o now_o this_o connexion_n we_o affirm_v to_o be_v not_o only_o of_o a_o certain_a consent_n as_o when_o luke_n write_v 31_o act_n 24._o 31_o that_o the_o heart_n

question_n can_v thou_o shadow_v out_o unto_o i_o after_o some_o sort_n by_o some_o fit_a similitude_n this_o mystery_n otherwise_o incomprehensible_a answer_n yes_o very_o that_o i_o can_v even_o out_o of_o the_o same_o similitude_n of_o the_o head_n and_o member_n so_o usual_a with_o the_o apostle_n i_o beseech_v thou_o therefore_o whence_o have_v these_o arm_n their_o natural_a sense_n and_o

yet_o notwithstanding_o by_o the_o help_n of_o these_o same_o fit_n and_o convenient_a jointe_n it_o be_v able_a to_o give_v they_o life_n imagine_v i_o say_v some_o such_o thing_n with_o thyself_o and_o thou_o shall_v have_v the_o lyvely_a image_n of_o this_o our_o incorporation_n into_o christ_n for_o christ_n himself_o according_a too_o the_o flesh_n neither_o now_o place_v any_o other_o where_o then_o above_o these_o heaven_n intoo_o which_o he_o have_v ascend_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n by_o a_o physical_a and_o natural_a move_n neither_o shall_v come_v again_o from_o thence_o

the_o master_n express_o repeat_v the_o name_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o blood_n in_o this_o mystery_n of_o our_o conjunction_n with_o he_o because_o we_o can_v be_v join_v with_o he_o but_o by_o
