and_o without_o any_o more_o ado_n shall_v begin_v with_o my_o first_o question_n which_o be_v to_o inform_v i_o what_o baptism_n be_v because_o the_o stress_n of_o this_o controversy_n lie_v in_o understand_v the_o mean_v and_o signification_n of_o it_o m._n the_o word_n baptise_v be_v use_v in_o scripture_n to_o signify_v sometime_o the_o dip_v the_o whole_a body_n in_o water_n sometime_o the_o wet_n wash_a or_o sprinkle_v some_o part_n thereof_o with_o water_n p._n how_o do_v you_o prove_v this_o latter_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n baptism_n m._n from_o four_o several_a place_n of_o scripture_n as_o luke_n 11.38_o where_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o greek_a our_o saviour_n be_v not_o baptize_v because_o he_o have_v not_o wash_v his_o hand_n before_o dinner_n and_o the_o pharisee_n marvel_v at_o it_o that_o he_o himself_o not_o his_o hand_n be_v not_o baptize_v and_o mar._n 10.39_o where_o our_o lord_n call_v his_o suffering_n on_o the_o cross_a a_o baptism_n because_o he_o be_v wet_a and_o sprinkle_v with_o the_o blood_n and_o water_n which_o issue_v out_o of_o his_o wound_a heart_n and_o act._n 1.5_o where_o the_o disciple_n be_v promise_v to_o be_v baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n not_o many_o day_n hence_o because_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v short_o to_o be_v shed_v or_o pour_v forth_o on_o the_o disciple_n head_n and_o into_o their_o heart_n somewhat_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o our_o pour_v forth_o water_n and_o sprinkle_v in_o baptism_n which_o be_v prophesy_v by_o joel_n cap._n 2.28_o 29._o and_o come_v to_o pass_v on_o the_o day_n of_o pentecost_n act._n 2.17_o 33._o and_o 1_o cor._n 10.2_o where_o st._n paul_n say_v the_o israelite_n in_o their_o passage_n from_o egypt_n to_o caanan_n be_v all_o baptize_v in_o the_o cloud_n because_o they_o be_v all_o sprinkle_v with_o the_o rain_n which_o fall_v from_o it_o as_o be_v further_a evident_a from_o psal_n 77.17_o the_o cloud_n pour_v out_o water_n i._n e._n on_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n as_o they_o march_v through_o the_o red_a sea_n to_o which_o the_o forego_n and_o follow_v verse_n of_o that_o psalm_n prove_v that_o it_o must_v have_v reference_n p._n may_v baptism_n then_o be_v administer_v by_o sprinkle_v or_o pour_v water_n on_o the_o face_n of_o the_o baptize_v person_n as_o well_o as_o by_o dip_v he_o m._n yes_o it_o may_v for_o the_o reason_n before_o express_v because_o christ_n who_o be_v wet_a and_o sprinkle_v with_o blood_n and_o water_n in_o some_o part_n of_o his_o body_n on_o the_o cross_n and_o his_o apostle_n who_o have_v the_o holy_a ghost_n pour_v forth_o and_o as_o it_o be_v sprinkle_v upon_o they_o and_o the_o israelite_n who_o in_o their_o passage_n through_o the_o red_a sea_n be_v sprinkle_v only_o with_o water_n for_o all_o that_o way_n they_o walk_v on_o dry_a ground_n exod_a 14.22_o these_o be_v all_o nevertheless_o say_v to_o be_v baptize_v p._n but_o be_v not_o christ_n and_o the_o eunuch_n dip_v under_o water_n when_o they_o be_v baptize_v because_o they_o both_o go_v down_o into_o the_o water_n and_o come_v up_o out_o of_o it_o m._n it_o do_v not_o necessary_o follow_v from_o those_o expression_n that_o the_o baptism_n of_o either_o be_v by_o dip_v since_o john_n baptist_n and_o philip_n go_v down_o into_o the_o water_n and_o come_v up_o out_o of_o it_o as_o well_o as_o christ_n and_o the_o eunuch_n and_o yet_o none_o do_v thence_o infer_v the_o two_o former_a be_v dip_v p._n but_o they_o urge_v far_o and_o i_o have_v often_o hear_v it_o from_o they_o that_o place_n of_o joh._n 3.23_o john_n be_v baptise_v in_o enon_n near_o salim_n for_o there_o be_v much_o water_n there_o whence_o they_o conclude_v he_o dip_v his_o proselyte_n or_o else_o why_o be_v that_o reason_n give_v there_o why_o do_v he_o repair_v to_o a_o river_n for_o baptism_n m._n the_o reason_n why_o john_n baptize_v in_o enon_n as_o well_o as_o jordan_n may_v be_v and_o in_o all_o probability_n be_v because_o of_o the_o great_a multitude_n that_o resort_v to_o he_o for_o baptism_n jerusalem_n and_o all_o judaea_n and_o all_o the_o region_n round_o about_o jordan_n mat._n 3.5_o and_o to_o be_v continual_o draw_v and_o carry_v water_n for_o the_o baptise_v so_o many_o thousand_o people_n will_v have_v be_v a_o endless_a work_n and_o therefore_o a_o river_n be_v the_o most_o convenient_a place_n for_o john_n baptism_n there_o be_v then_o too_o no_o baptistery_n in_o church_n erect_v and_o allow_v for_o that_o purpose_n and_o the_o say_n there_o be_v much_o water_n there_o do_v no_o more_o prove_v that_o john_n dip_v his_o disciple_n than_o the_o eunuch_n say_v to_o philip_n see_v here_o be_v water_n what_o do_v hinder_v i_o to_o be_v baptize_v act._n 8.36_o do_v prove_v that_o he_o be_v only_o sprinkle_v because_o the_o eunuch_n make_v water_n and_o not_o the_o muchness_n or_o littleness_n of_o it_o to_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o philip_n shall_v baptize_v he_o there_o 2_o if_o john_n have_v dip_v his_o proselyte_n this_o be_v no_o proof_n that_o we_o must_v do_v so_o too_o because_o his_o baptism_n if_o it_o be_v the_o same_o for_o substance_n with_o christ_n yet_o be_v administer_v in_o a_o different_a manner_n and_o not_o in_o that_o form_n of_o word_n christ_n be_v not_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n of_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o for_o this_o we_o have_v the_o confession_n of_o 2._o of_o mr._n blackwood_n storm_a of_o antichrist_n pag._n 13._o part_n 2._o one_o of_o their_o own_o party_n that_o john_n do_v not_o baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n as_o christ_n do_v which_o he_o prove_v from_o act._n 2.3_o 4_o 5._o where_o those_o twelve_o disciple_n because_o they_o have_v not_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o

name_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n although_o baptize_v before_o into_o john_n baptism_n be_v all_o baptize_v again_o by_o st._n paul_n and_o if_o john_n baptism_n differ_v from_o we_o in_o some_o circumstance_n why_o may_v not_o we_o differ_v from_o he_o in_o this_o one_o of_o sprinkle_v and_o we_o lawful_o use_v it_o though_o john_n do_v dip_v especial_o since_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o christ_n command_n which_o require_v we_o to_o observe_v the_o one_o more_o than_o the_o other_o but_o he_o leave_v the_o minister_n at_o liberty_n as_o our_o church_n do_v either_o to_o dip_v or_o sprinkle_v according_a to_o the_o strength_n or_o weakness_n of_o the_o party_n that_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v and_o either_o way_n if_o he_o do_v it_o with_o water_n and_o in_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 he_o do_v administer_v true_a christian_a baptism_n p._n i_o think_v this_o a_o sufficient_a answer_n to_o that_o objection_n from_o john_n and_o wonder_v these_o man_n insist_v so_o much_o upon_o dip_v in_o baptism_n as_o to_o make_v the_o ordinance_n void_a without_o it_o when_o they_o can_v never_o prove_v this_o to_o be_v essential_a to_o baptism_n from_o any_o place_n of_o scripture_n but_o only_o by_o conjectural_a consequence_n and_o deduction_n from_o it_o m._n i_o do_v not_o wonder_v at_o this_o at_o all_o since_o none_o be_v more_o confident_a than_o those_o that_o be_v most_o ignorant_a as_o deep_a river_n run_v silent_o on_o but_o shallow_a stream_n make_v a_o noise_n and_o thus_o mountebank_n will_v

their_o folly_n p._n but_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v have_v more_o wit_n than_o to_o be_v cheat_v by_o mountebank_n in_o physic_n and_o more_o grace_n than_o to_o be_v deceive_v by_o mountebank_n in_o religion_n m._n pray_v take_v care_n of_o both_o but_o more_o especial_o the_o latter_a since_o to_o try_v practice_n on_o the_o soul_n be_v far_o more_o dangerous_a than_o to_o tamper_v with_o the_o body_n p._n i_o thank_v you_o for_o your_o good_a advice_n and_o by_o god_n help_n shall_v be_v careful_a to_o follow_v it_o but_o to_o return_v to_o our_o former_a discourse_n pray_v sir_n who_o be_v the_o proper_a subject_n of_o baptism_n which_o you_o have_v prove_v may_v be_v administer_v by_o sprinkle_v or_o dip_v m._n not_o only_o all_o believer_n but_o also_o all_o their_o child_n p._n how_o do_v you_o prove_v that_o believer_n child_n may_v lawful_o be_v baptize_v m._n from_o several_a text_n of_o scripture_n which_o by_o good_a and_o undeniable_a consequence_n imply_v so_o much_o p._n

in_o the_o sea_n which_o import_v as_o all_o expositor_n will_v allow_v even_o those_o that_o oppose_v the_o consequence_n we_o draw_v from_o it_o that_o the_o jew_n passage_n through_o the_o red_a

the_o red_a sea_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o in_o the_o thing_n typify_v and_o then_o the_o child_n of_o believe_a parent_n as_o well_o as_o they_o themselves_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v

do_v your_o question_n the_o scripture_n be_v silent_a and_o say_v nothing_o about_o cattle_n and_o unbeliever_n which_o go_v with_o israel_n through_o the_o red_a sea_n and_o if_o both_o of_o they_o do_v how_o can_v they_o be_v baptize_v into_o moses_n i._n e._n into_o his_o doctrine_n and_o law_n which_o the_o cattle_n can_v not_o and_o the_o unbeliever_n will_v not_o understand_v and_o obey_v and_o therefore_o the_o mix_a multitude_n speak_v of_o ex._n 12.38_o who_o go_v up_o from_o egypt_n be_v all_o the_o jewish_a proselyte_n as_o well_o as_o the_o jew_n themselves_o their_o wife_n and_o

no_o argument_n that_o the_o one_o do_v not_o come_v in_o the_o room_n of_o the_o other_o but_o rather_o that_o god_n mercy_n be_v more_o enlarge_v to_o we_o than_o to_o they_o as_o the_o seal_n

for_o that_o reason_n the_o whole_a jewish_a church_n and_o nation_n be_v call_v in_o scripture_n by_o the_o name_n of_o circumcision_n act._n 10.45_o cap._n 11.2_o gal._n 2.9_o and_o phil._n 3.3_o

be_v say_v to_o have_v die_v ex._n 9.6_o and_o yet_o there_o be_v cattle_n leave_v ver_fw-la 19_o 25._o m._n but_o this_o will_v not_o serve_v the_o turn_n for_o how_o do_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o

be_v never_o reprove_v by_o moses_n or_o any_o of_o the_o prophet_n for_o it_o and_o therefore_o in_o god_n esteem_n the_o jewish_a woman_n must_v be_v virtual_o circumcise_v in_o the_o man_n or_o
