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

to_o strive_v to_o contend_v for_o to_o be_v tenacious_a of_o our_o baptism_n lay_v a_o engagement_n upon_o we_o as_o to_o this_o for_o we_o be_v not_o baptize_v into_o moses_n but_o into_o christ_n that_o be_v into_o the_o public_a and_o steady_a profession_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o whosoever_o apostatize_v from_o that_o profession_n renounce_v his_o

and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o his_o gospel_n be_v true_a and_o that_o they_o will_v own_v it_o and_o persevere_v in_o it_o 2._o hence_o it_o appear_v that_o all_o baptize_v person_n be_v by_o their_o baptism_n oblige_v to_o the_o acceptation_n of_o christ_n as_o their_o spiritual_a husband_n i_o have_v say_v the_o apostle_n espouse_v you_o to_o one_o husband_n that_o one_o husband_n be_v christ_n the_o contract_n be_v make_v in_o baptism_n the_o espousal_n be_v upon_o the_o admission_n of_o the_o soul_n into_o the_o fellowship_n of_o the_o church_n upon_o the_o visible_a evidence_n of_o his_o

every_o person_n in_o baptism_n be_v contract_v to_o christ_n every_o person_n be_v not_o of_o age_n for_o a_o actual_a marriage_n to_o which_o repentance_n and_o knowledge_n be_v precedaneous_a but_o every_o baptise_a infant_n say_v i_o will_v take_v christ_n for_o my_o wed_a husband_n and_o lord_n the_o act_n in_o infant-baptism_n be_v indeed_o rather_o the_o act_n of_o the_o parent_n than_o the_o child_n which_o be_v not_o yet_o capable_a of_o a_o rational_a act_n but_o be_v it_o so_o the_o parent_n have_v such_o a_o right_a in_o the_o child_n that_o it_o stand_v bind_v to_o abide_v by_o the_o act_n of_o its_o natural_a guardian_n unless_o the_o child_n grow_v up_o can_v show_v a_o sufficient_a reason_n to_o the_o contrary_n it_o be_v thus_o adjudge_v as_o to_o all_o legal_a act_n what_o the_o legal_a guardian_n do_v the_o infant_n and_o person_n in_o nonage_n do_v it_o hold_v much_o more_o in_o thing_n spiritual_a where_o there_o be_v a_o precedaneous_a obligation_n to_o any_o

further_o than_o be_v its_o precedaneous_a duty_n in_o obedience_n to_o god_n so_o as_o the_o parent_n obligation_n that_o the_o child_n shall_v accept_v of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o its_o saviour_n and_o perform_v what_o god_n require_v of_o it_o in_o order_n to_o its_o salvation_n be_v real_o a_o obligation_n upon_o the_o child_n to_o do_v what_o its_o spiritual_a guardian_n have_v solemn_o oblige_v for_o it_o so_o as_o every_o baptize_v person_n stand_v bind_v to_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o to_o live_v a_o holy_a life_n 3._o it_o follow_v from_o hence_o that_o there_o be_v a_o duty_n incumbent_n upon_o all_o good_a christian_n even_o with_o their_o blood_n to_o maintain_v and_o defend_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n i_o will_v be_v right_o understand_v not_o that_o all_o man_n be_v engage_v in_o such_o case_n to_o take_v up_o arm_n in_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o great_a truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o require_v a_o lawful_a authority_n to_o call_v

it_o and_o rest_v much_o upon_o the_o establishment_n or_o not_o establishment_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o the_o law_n of_o this_o or_o that_o place_n but_o there_o be_v another_o way_n of_o defend_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o our_o blood_n and_o that_o be_v in_o a_o way_n of_o martyrdom_n patient_o and_o cheerful_o suffer_v even_o death_n itself_o rather_o than_o to_o deny_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n this_o be_v every_o christian_n duty_n by_o virtue_n of_o his_o baptism_n the_o very_a term_n sacrament_n original_o signify_v a_o oath_n that_o soldier_n

there_o be_v a_o duty_n incumbent_n upon_o all_o baptize_v person_n to_o be_v continual_o mortify_v of_o sin_n and_o keep_v under_o their_o body_n and_o make_v no_o provision_n for_o the_o flesh_n to_o obey_v it_o in_o the_o lust_n thereof_o for_o say_v the_o text_n 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 and_o we_o be_v bury_v with_o

which_o they_o be_v list_v in_o the_o day_n wherein_o they_o be_v baptize_v shall_v i_o reckon_v they_o up_o to_o you_o that_o you_o may_v see_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o christian_n in_o name_n and_o christian_n in_o deed_n 1._o what_o do_v you_o think_v of_o those_o who_o deny_v the_o lord_n that_o buy_v they_o that_o blow_v a_o trumpet_n and_o say_v what_o portion_n have_v we_o in_o

how_o many_o more_o be_v there_o who_o be_v not_o in_o this_o black_a bill_n of_o heretic_n and_o apostate_n but_o yet_o refuse_v to_o come_v to_o christ_n that_o they_o may_v have_v life_n to_o lay_v hold_n on_o he_o and_o make_v application_n of_o his_o redemption_n by_o their_o baptism_n they_o be_v engage_v when_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o year_n of_o discretion_n to_o say_v unto_o christ_n thou_o be_v our_o lord_n our_o saviour_n and_o the_o guide_n of_o our_o youth_n and_o we_o as_o the_o ambassador_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v beseech_v they_o in_o christ_n stead_n to_o be_v

to_o defend_v and_o maintain_v the_o interest_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o gospel_n who_o work_n it_o be_v to_o persecute_v the_o image_n of_o christ_n wherever_o they_o see_v it_o and_o set_v

final_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v to_o those_o who_o live_v in_o the_o constant_a practice_n and_o indulgence_n of_o those_o lust_n which_o by_o their_o baptism_n they_o be_v engage_v to_o mortify_v
