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

that_o abraham_n the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v justify_v the_o same_o way_n must_v all_o believer_n his_o child_n be_v justify_v and_o the_o same_o way_n that_o david_n be_v justify_v the_o same_o way_n also_o must_v we_o be_v justify_v but_o abraham_n and_o david_n be_v both_o justify_v by_o a_o impute_a righteousness_n in_o the_o five_o chapter_n he_o argue_v from_o the_o sweet_a

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
