live in newness of Life amongst the Saints in the Kingdom of God II. When one is buried he ought to be covered all over with Earth else 't is no Burial II. When one is baptized he ought to be covered all over with Water or else 't is no Baptism Which fully appears 1. From the Nature of Burial 2. From the proper and Metaphorical Significations of the Word as is largely opened 3. From Scripture-Practice which always was by Dipping as all the Learned that are impartial acknowledg 4. From the constant Practice of Antiquity who retained the right Form until Clinical Baptism viz. such who deferred their Baptism till their sick Bed came to be used about Cyprian's time in the third Century These Clinici so called because 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 baptized in their Bed were such as delayed their Baptism until their Death-Beds because they believed it would take away all Sin and that there was no Pardon if they sinned after receiving it yet not daring to go out of the World without this great Badge of Christianity deferr'd it till they thought they were in danger of Death And since they could not without peril of Life be dipp'd Sprinkling was invented to serve the turn For a like Reason as was said before they changed the Mode of Administration with respect to Infants when their Baptism was introduced out of regard to their tender Constitutions especially in cold Countries Seasons This was the Original of Sprinkling and sprung purely from the abuse of Baptism and the Want of the right Subject as by Divine Aid shall be demonstrated in a particular Sheet impartially and from undoubted Authority One may with as much reason be said to be buried when Clay or Earth is thrown upon his Head only as to be baptized when Water is poured upon his Head or Face And if the one be no Burying 't is as certain the other is no Baptism And he that affirms that Sprinkling may represent or symbolically express the Death Burial and Resurrection of Christ does at the same time speak without colour of Truth Word of Sence and against all the Reason in the World As breaking of the Sacramental Bread visibly betokens that Christ's Body was broke and as the pouring forth of the Sacramental Wine represents the gushing forth of his Blood so the Sacramental Dipping in Water viz. Baptism represents his Death and Burial and the coming from under the Water his Resurrection 1 Cor. 15.2 3 4 c. III. Burial precedes the Resurrection or raising of the dead Body to a State of Immortality III. The Immersion of the Party baptized precedes his Emersion or coming out of the Water which symbolizes or answers to two things 1. The Resur●ection of Christ 2. Our rising again to Newness of Life Buried with him in Baptism wherein ye are also risen with him c. as in the Text. Inferences FRom the whole we may rationally conclude That the Administration of this great Ordinance by Sprinkling which comports not with the Literal nor Metaphorical Signification of the Word nor those great Mysteries represented by it viz. the Death Burial and Resurrection of Christ is disorderly and should be rectified 2. It is a Motive to excite us to admire and reverence the great Grace and Goodness of Christ who hath given us such a visible Symbol of his Death Burial and Resurrection not only to confirm our Faith but also to prevent our being deceived by any seducing Spirits 3. It is not to be wondred at that such as deny the Man Christ Jesus but preach up the Light within to be a Saviour should reject these two great Ordinances stated in the Scripture viz. Baptism and the Lord's Supper because such as deny the Substance are necessitated to deny the Sign Persons of this Judgment may be easily confuted For when ever the Term Baptism is mentioned and God or Christ represented as the Agent it must be understood of the Baptism of the Spirit in the Sence before spoken of When ever Baptism is mentioned as the Act of any Apostle or Minister of the Gospel it denotes Water-Baptism because these have neither Power nor Commission to baptize with the Spirit and with Fire And when ever the Baptism of Blood and Suffering is mentioned it must be understood of Persecutors or ungodly Men who murther destroy or afflict the Godly for neither God without Blasphemy nor good Men without a wrong application of the Term may be said to baptize that way So that when we meet with the Act of Baptism as the Act of a good Man we must of necessity understand it of Water-Baptism in the same Method and Mode of Administration as was practised by the Apostles and Primitive Christians and that being a positive Institution with respect to the Subject and Manner of Administration is not to be deviated from upon any pretence whatsoever unless we will suppose the Laws of the Almighty to be in the Power of Man so as that he may dispense at pleasure with them which is not to be done without sufficient Authority from God himself which is no where to be found 4. If the Laws of the great unerring Sovereign of all things are to be observed without variation unless it be by his express Direction then we are to conform exactly to his Order in this part of the Evangelical Law and to practise it no otherwise than he has prescribed because it was once so delivered to the Saints 5. We would caution all that would approach to this sacred Evangelical Ordinance unless they be dead to Sin that is such as truly and really hate Wickedness and the empty Vanities of the World and unless they have a prospect of and long to have an Interest in that never-fading Inheritance promised by our dear Lord Jesus to his Children not to prophane this blessed Institution Because if they want the due Qualifications of serious and converted Souls viz. Faith Repentance and good Lives they are hereby entitled not real Members of Christ but Hypocrites and incur as great a Hazard as such do who eat and drink unworthily of the Lord's Supper The Lord's Supper 1 Cor. 11.23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you That the Lord Jesus the same Night in which he was betrayed took Bread Verse 24. And when he had given thanks he brake it and said Take eat this is my Body which is broken for you This do in remembrance of me THe Papists affirm That after the Words which they call the Words of Consecration spoken by the Mass-Priest the Bread is changed into the real Body of Jesus Christ and many of the blessed Martyrs in Queen Mary's Days were burned to Ashes for denying this Transubstantiation Which absurd and monstrous Conceit of theirs hath been learnedly confuted by many ancient and modern Writers so that it may be thought needless to add any thing here upon that account yet that we may make our way

the more plain to these metaphorical and figurative Expressions used by our Saviour when he instituted the holy Sacr ment of the Supper saying This is my Body something briefly we shall offer in confutation of their pernicious Doctrine which may soon be done for they confute themselves in saying that the Sacrament is a Feast for our Souls and not for our Bodies Now what is my Soul the better when I eat the very Body of Christ Christ is eat and received spiritually Whoso eateth my Flesh and drinketh my Blood hath everlasting Life Joh 6.54 and I will saith Christ raise him up at the last Day Therefore the eating of Christ's Flesh cannot intend the receiving of the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper for if it did it would be a very easy way for the vilest Sinner to go to Heaven But to come directly to the Business in hand Either Christ spake figuratively when he said This is my Body or he did not And that the Words cannot be taken in a proper sence is evident for it is impossible for Words to express any thing more plainly than that by this is meant the Bread It is said that Christ took Bread and brake it and gave it and said Take eat this is my Body where this necessarily relates to that which Christ took brake and gave Also the Apostle saith positively thrice in a Breath that it is Bread 1 Cor. 11.26 As often as ye eat this Bread c. And whosoever shall eat this Bread 1 Cor. 1● 16 The Bread which we break is it not the Communion of the Body of Christ Also the Participation of the Sacrament is called breaking of Bread Acts 2.46 20.7 which Popish Authors themselves understand of the Sacrament Now can any be so ignorant and foolish to believe it is Christ's proper and real Body which the Holy-Ghost calleth so often Bread after it is blessed c. Object By this say some of the Papists is neither intended the Bread nor Christ's Body Bellarmin l e Euch. l. 3. c. 12. but in general this Substance which is contained under this Species Answ What do they mean are there any more Substances under those Species besides the Bread first and afterwards the Body of Christ Do not they affirm as soon as ever it ceaseth to be Bread it becometh the real Body of Christ Then surely if it be a Substance according to what they say it must either be Bread or the Body of Christ or no Substance at all Object Christ's Body is there after the manner of a Spirit taking up no room so that Head Hands Feet are altogether in the least Crumb of the Host Answ In arguing thus as a learned Man observes they plead for the Propriety of Words and destroy the Propriety of things How can they say it is properly a Body which wants the essential Properties of a Body which is to have quantity and take up room take away this and the Body may properly be a Spirit for it is that only which differenceth it from a Spirit But further to shew how idle and absurd it is to take our Saviour's Words in a proper Sence we shall shew that it is utterly against Sense and Reason as well as contrary to Scripture as you have heard First It is against Sense What greater Evidence can there be of things than what Sense affordeth But if this which the Papists affirm about the consecrated Bread being the real Body of Christ be true the Senses of all the World are deceived For since the great Argument for Christianity as all agree was the Words that Christ spoke and the Works which Christ did now how could we be sure he did so speak or so work if we may not credit the Reports of our Eyes and Ears This was St. Luke's great Evidence of the Truth of what he wrote That it was delivered to him by Eye-Witnesses Luke 1.1 2. and St. John's What we have seen with our Eyes and our Hands have handled of the Word of Life 1 Joh. 1.1 And St. Paul's for the Resurrection That he was seen of Cephas then of the Twelve then of above five hundred Brethren at once 1 Cor. 15.5 6. Even Thomas his Infidelity yielded to this Argument That if he did thrust his hand into Christ's Side he would believe Joh. 20.25 Christ judged this was a convincing Argument when the Apostles thought they had seen a Spirit Handle me and see for a Spirit hath not Flesh and Blood as you see me have Luke 24.39 But now if after the Words of Consecration there is under the Species of Bread the Nature and Properties of Flesh then are the Senses of the wisest of Mortals deceived And if our Senses be deceived here Dr. Tillotson they are not as a late Author observes to be trusted in any other thing no not when they are most sure that we see Father or Mother or Wife or Children Can we be sure This is my Body is written in Mat. 26. Mark 14. Luke 22. 1 Cor. 11. For may not those Words be some other Words why should we trust our Eyes What if we should tell the Papists These Words This is my Body are neither in this Chapter nor any where else written in the New Testament and grow confident of it and tell them the Words are This is not my Body 'T is the Bricks that were laid to build Babel 'T is the Gates of Solomon's Porch This is the Shew-Bread that Abimelech gave to David the Bottles that Abigail took from Nabal If they tell us We are strangely deceived and the Sense of all that can read will give it against us may not we tell them as well when they say This is the real Body of Christ when it is nothing but a Wafer-Cake That they are strangely deceived and that the Senses of all that can either see taste smell or feel will give it against them This being so what reason is there for them to burn us because we cannot see the Bread to be Christ's real Body more than there is for us to kill them because they cannot see that it is the Gates of Solomon's Porch Secondly It is against Reason And shall any conclude that is any Principle of the Christian Religion that is contrary to and utterly against Reason For it would make us believe things that are absolutely impossible and gross Contradictions Tho some things may be above Reason yet they themselves confess no Principle of Religion can be against it Object But they say We imagine many things impossible that really are not so and further intimate If we can prove any real Impossibilities which this Doctrine forceth them to believe they will yield to us For they with us condemn the Lutheran Opinion See a Book called Scripture-Mysteries p. 279. That Christ's Body is every where because it is impossible and therefore expound those Words I am the Vine I am a Door c. figuratively as we do because

you If you acknowledg a religious Respect and Reverence due to the Son of God exercise it in humble Obedience to his Word and if you love him and value his Gospel treat not his Ministers in an unworthy manner and forget not that He who gave his Life a Ransom for you well deserves a Return of the greatest Love from you and to be honoured by you not only with good Words but with your Substance and the First-Fruits of all your Increase Prov. 3.9 Secondly 'T is the Business of your Salvation and the Concern of your precious and immortal Souls that a Minister is employed in and therefore it is much more your own Interest than his that you should make Conscience of your Duty With this Argument the Apostle enforces his Exhortation Heb. 13.17 For they watch for your Souls as they that must give an Account that they do it with Joy and not with Grief for that is unprofitable for you The Ministry can never be effectual to the saving of your Souls if you be not sincere in Obedience under it And will you be less careful for your Souls and their eternal Welfare than you are for your Bodies and the Comforts of a temporal Life Can you be content to lay out your Strength and Substance to provide for these and neglect the other It is sad to consider how many there are among Professors that live in the World as if there were no Truth in the Report of that which is to come and have the meanest esteem of the most necessary Means of Salvation viz. the Word and Ordinances of Christ and a Gospel-Ministry Can expend perhaps an hundred Pound per annum more or less for the Convenience Ornament or Delight of a frail Carcase but will grudg half so much for the Poor or the support of Gospel-Worship Ministers compared to Watchmen Isa 62.6 I have set Watchmen upon thy Walls O Jerusalem Ezek. 3.17 I have made thee a Watchman c. Heb. 13.17 They watch for your Souls Ministers are called Watchmen Watchmen Parallel VVAtchmen have a Charge committed to them and they ought to take heed they do not betray their Trust MInisters have a great Charge committed to them which they ought to see to and so to behave themselves that they may have their Accounts to give up with Joy For 1. They are entrusted with the Word the faithful Word and Doctrine of God is committed to them they must see they preach nothing for Doctrine but what is the direct and undeniable Truth and Mind of God they must not corrupt the Word nor intermix it with the Traditions of Men. I give thee charge in the sight of God 1 Tim. 6.13 who quickneth all things and before Christ who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good Confession that thou keep this Commandment without spot unrebukable until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ 2. They have received the Charge of preaching God's Word they must preach whoever forbid them I charge thee therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ 2 Tim. 4.1 2. who shall judg the Quick and the Dead at his appearing and his Kingdom preach the Word be instant in season and out of season reprove exhort with all Long-suffering and Doctrine 3. They have the Charge of God's Ordinances or the holy Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper Go therefore teach all Nations Mat. 28.19 20. i. e. make Disciples baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy-Ghost c. For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered unto you I had it in charge as if he should say from Christ himself that the same Night in which he was betrayed 1 Cor. 11.23 24. he took Bread and blessed it and said Take eat this is my Body which is broken for you this do in remembrance of me After the same manner he took the Cup c. They must not corrupt the Ordinances nor administer them otherwise than the plain Rule left in the Word of God directeth 4. They have the Charge of the Church and Flock of God Acts 20.27 Take heed therefore unto your selves and unto the Flock over which the Holy-Ghost hath made you Overseers to feed the Church of God which he hath purchased with his own Blood c. 5. They must know the State of the Flock be Examples to the Flock 1 Pet. 5.2 3 Feed the Flock of God which is amongst you not by constraint but willingly not for filthy Lucre but of a ready Mind neither being Lords over God's Heritage but being Examples to the Flock 6. Lastly They have the Charge of Mens Souls Watch for your Souls Heb. 13.17 as such that must give an account These things are part of these Watchmen's Charge II. Watchmen are not to sleep nor give way to slumber they must be awake when others sleep to see what Dangers are near c. II. So the Ministers of the Gospel must not be sleepy and slothful they are to be upon the Watch-Tower to see what Danger approacheth or is coming upon the Church and People of God III. Watchmen are to give warning if they see Evil coming hence they ought to have a good Eye-sight a blind Man is not fit to be a Watchman III. So Ministers or Christ's spiritual Watchmen must give warning when they see Danger approaching and therefore had need be Men of Knowledg They are called Seers if they have no Eyes they cannot be called Seers Ministers had need be like Argus whom Poets say had an hundred Eyes they should be full of Eyes like the living Creatures about the Throne to see before them and behind them that so they may perceive clearly every thing that is evil or hurtful to the Souls of Men or Church of God and give warning of it and not like those foolish Watchmen the Prophet speaks of His Watchmen are blind sleeping lying down Isa 56 10. Ezek. 33.6 7. loving to slumber If the Watchman seeth the Sword coming and blow not the Trumpet and the People be not warned if the Sword come and take away any Person from among them he is taken away in his Iniquity but his Blood will I require at the Watchman's hand They are to give warning to Sinners that they repent and be converted for Wrath is gone out against them from the Lord if they live in one Sin they must perish They are to warn them of the Danger of Unbelief to warn them of the Danger of the Hardness of their Hearts to warn them of the Danger of Pride Covetousness and all other Sins to give warning of the Danger of Idolatry and all false Worship and Heresy of the Danger of Apostacy the Danger of the inordinate Love of the World or of any thing short of Jesus Christ c. IV. Watchmen are made and constituted such by others and called forth to stand upon the Watch. IV. So Ministers are made or
