signify_v the_o sign_n be_v water_n and_o the_o sacramental_a rite_n which_o be_v a_o dip_v into_o the_o water_n and_o a_o take_n out_o of_o the_o same_o again_o whence_o wash_v do_v follow_v the_o thing_n signify_v be_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n unto_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o that_o spiritual_a and_o divine_a force_n whereby_o we_o be_v regenerate_v which_o regeneration_n consist_v part_o in_o the_o abolish_n of_o the_o old_a man_n which_o decay_v by_o little_a &_o little_a and_o partly_o in_o the_o create_v of_o the_o new_a which_o be_v to_o be_v perfect_v by_o degree_n 6_o the_o formal_a cause_n of_o baptism_n consist_v in_o the_o lawful_a use_n of_o the_o institution_n the_o especial_a part_n whereof_o be_v the_o invocation_n of_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n together_o with_o the_o rite_n either_o of_o dip_v into_o the_o water_n or_o of_o the_o sprinkle_n of_o the_o same_o 7_o for_o it_o be_v not_o great_o material_a whether_o the_o person_n that_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v be_v whole_o dip_v under_o the_o water_n or_o whether_o the_o water_n be_v only_o sprinkle_v either_o upon_o his_o head_n or_o his_o face_n vain_a therefore_o and_o void_a be_v that_o wash_n where_o either_o baptism_n be_v not_o do_v into_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o water_n be_v not_o use_v 8_o those_o vain_a question_n that_o have_v rise_v from_o that_o false_a absolute_a necessity_n of_o baptism_n as_o whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o baptize_v with_o distil_a water_n with_o urine_n or_o stale_a or_o with_o sand_n where_o natural_a water_n can_v be_v get_v we_o reject_v as_o absurd_a and_o ridiculous_a neither_o think_v we_o that_o any_o contention_n ought_v to_o be_v make_v whether_o the_o water_n be_v to_o be_v once_o or_o thrice_o apply_v 9_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a no_o not_o for_o any_o angel_n in_o heaven_n to_o ordain_v any_o sacramental_a rite_n see_v the_o signification_n of_o they_o do_v respect_v the_o promise_n of_o grace_n for_o it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o god_n alone_o both_o to_o promise_v what_o he_o think_v good_a and_o also_o to_o establish_v his_o promise_n by_o what_o sign_n it_o please_v he_o 10_o they_o do_v great_o offend_v therefore_o who_o not_o content_v with_o the_o simplicity_n of_o the_o lord_n institution_n think_v that_o they_o can_v adorn_v baptism_n by_o add_v curious_a rite_n thereunto_o where_o as_o of_o the_o contrarieside_n the_o lord_n will_v have_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n which_o be_v oppose_v unto_o the_o old_a to_o be_v therefore_o most_o few_o and_o simple_a to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v so_o much_o the_o more_o ready_o be_v draw_v from_o these_o corporal_a and_o sensible_a thing_n to_o the_o consideration_n of_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a matter_n i_o those_o innumerable_a add_v trifle_n therefore_o which_o have_v present_o grow_v into_o manifest_a superstition_n and_o whereof_o some_o be_v add_v by_o the_o papist_n as_o chrism_n spittle_n taper_n we_o have_v just_o abollish_v though_o they_o be_v of_o antiquity_n as_o be_v will-worship_n two_o now_o as_o touch_v exorcism_n if_o by_o that_o name_n be_v understand_v not_o the_o solemn_a covenant_n of_o christianity_n but_o the_o conjure_n of_o satan_n and_o spirit_n we_o altogether_o refuse_v the_o same_o as_o be_v rash_o and_o foolish_o draw_v from_o those_o that_o be_v possess_v with_o devil_n to_o be_v apply_v unto_o man_n that_o be_v in_o their_o right_a wit_n and_o to_o the_o infant_n of_o christian_n iii_o yet_o do_v not_o these_o spot_n though_o filthy_a and_o loathsome_a and_o therefore_o to_o be_v careful_o abollish_v annihilate_v baptism_n as_o long_o as_o the_o essential_a form_n thereof_o remain_v 11_o the_o first_o that_o the_o lord_n appoint_v to_o publish_v this_o action_n be_v john_n therefore_o call_v the_o baptist_n but_o the_o author_n hereof_o be_v proper_o christ_n who_o only_o have_v this_o authority_n in_o the_o house_n of_o his_o father_n 12_o now_o the_o outward_a administration_n of_o this_o sacrament_n as_o also_o the_o simple_a preach_v of_o the_o word_n he_o have_v commit_v unto_o pastor_n lawful_o call_v their_o error_n therefore_o be_v very_o grievous_a who_o commit_v this_o office_n unto_o private_a man_n and_o much_o more_o grievous_a who_o give_v woman_n leave_v to_o intermeddle_v in_o this_o action_n in_o the_o cause_n of_o necessity_n as_o they_o call_v it_o 13_o although_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v account_v to_o have_v a_o lawful_a call_n who_o have_v invade_v the_o place_n of_o true_a pastor_n either_o by_o a_o common_a error_n or_o by_o long_a permission_n yet_o be_v they_o to_o be_v distingvish_v from_o mere_a private_a man_n therefore_o baptism_n administer_v by_o they_o according_a to_o the_o form_n appoint_v by_o christ_n be_v to_o stand_v yet_o be_v not_o they_o to_o be_v excuse_v who_o now_o that_o the_o holy_a ministry_n be_v in_o some_o sort_n reform_v do_v as_o far_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v confirm_v the_o false_a call_n of_o these_o man_n by_o give_v their_o child_n to_o be_v baptise_a of_o they_o 14_o to_o the_o end_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n that_o all_o these_o thing_n may_v be_v lawful_o do_v they_o be_v to_o be_v so_o perform_v in_o the_o church_n as_o it_o may_v be_v understand_v what_o be_v do_v &_o therefore_o a_o certain_a form_n together_o with_o meet_a &_o convenient_a prayer_n be_v to_o be_v use_v in_o the_o vulgar_a tongue_n which_o may_v declare_v the_o original_a use_n and_o end_n of_o baptism_n therefore_o also_o baptism_n be_v profane_v by_o they_o who_o either_o administer_v the_o same_o without_o any_o exposition_n or_o deprave_v the_o administration_n thereof_o by_o some_o false_a worship_n or_o administer_v it_o in_o a_o strange_a and_o a_o unknowen_a tongue_n although_o it_o be_v true_a baptism_n as_o long_o as_o that_o remain_v which_o be_v the_o chief_a thing_n therein_o namely_o the_o sign_n and_o the_o right_a invocation_n of_o the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o baptism_n do_v neither_o depend_v upon_o the_o faith_n nor_o yet_o be_v defile_v by_o the_o sin_n of_o he_o that_o administer_v it_o but_o be_v ground_v only_o upon_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n 15_o the_o analogy_n furthermore_o of_o the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v be_v manifest_a for_o the_o element_n of_o water_n use_v for_o the_o wash_n of_o the_o outward_a filthiness_n do_v most_o fit_o represent_v that_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o the_o take_v away_o of_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o apply_v to_o purify_v we_o brief_o that_o either_o dip_v into_o or_o sprinkle_v of_o the_o water_n though_o it_o be_v but_o do_v in_o a_o short_a space_n do_v yet_o clearelie_o represent_v the_o first_o part_n of_o our_o regeneration_n that_o be_v the_o seal_n of_o our_o inward_a and_o spiritual_a engraff_n into_o christ_n his_o death_n and_o burial_n whereby_o our_o old_a man_n together_o with_o all_o our_o sin_n be_v by_o little_a and_o little_o bring_v to_o decay_v be_v altogether_o bury_v last_o of_o all_o in_o that_o he_o who_o be_v baptize_v whether_o he_o be_v dip_v under_o the_o water_n or_o sprinkle_v with_o the_o same_o do_v yet_o rise_v again_o it_o lay_v open_a as_o it_o be_v before_o our_o eye_n the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o the_o rise_n again_o of_o our_o new_a man_n 16_o the_o proper_a end_n of_o baptism_n be_v that_o by_o this_o solemn_a and_o holy_a action_n we_o may_v be_v know_v by_o the_o testimony_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n to_o be_v in_o the_o number_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n &_o also_o that_o by_o mean_n of_o this_o action_n the_o adoption_n of_o the_o elect_a may_v to_o their_o full_a assurance_n be_v more_o &_o more_o seal_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o their_o heart_n 17_o the_o principal_a efficient_a cause_n hereof_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o in_o his_o good_a time_n do_v inward_o perform_v that_o which_o by_o the_o word_n of_o promise_n accompany_v with_o outward_a sign_n be_v declare_v unto_o the_o mind_n whence_o also_o may_v be_v gather_v what_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o baptism_n 18_o now_o the_o instrumental_a cause_n of_o the_o efficacy_n of_o baptism_n be_v the_o very_a same_o that_o make_v the_o word_n alone_o to_o be_v powerful_a nam_o faith_n wrought_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n through_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n in_o those_o that_o be_v of_o age_n i_o their_o error_n therefore_o be_v intolerable_a who_o dream_n that_o there_o be_v any_o divine_a power_n either_o in_o the_o water_n or_o in_o the_o rite_n of_o baptism_n see_v that_o whole_a efficacy_n be_v sole_o the_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o can_v
