cause_n of_o offence_n that_o those_o of_o the_o contrary_a persuasion_n have_v take_v against_o infant-baptism_n for_o what_o wonder_n be_v it_o if_o that_o be_v count_v a_o nullity_n that_o there_o be_v so_o little_a good_a use_n make_v of_o and_o to_o what_o purpose_n be_v the_o sprinkle_n or_o wash_v child_n with_o water_n if_o there_o be_v no_o care_n take_v to_o instil_v into_o they_o and_o to_o bring_v they_o up_o to_o that_o christian_a purity_n in_o heart_n and_o life_n that_o be_v signify_v thereby_o they_o be_v bind_v indeed_o afterward_o however_o when_o they_o come_v to_o understanding_n to_o reflect_v upon_o the_o obligation_n that_o in_o their_o infancy_n they_o be_v bring_v under_o but_o there_o can_v be_v little_a expectation_n ordinary_o as_o we_o see_v by_o sad_a experience_n that_o ever_o they_o will_v do_v it_o if_o their_o education_n and_o instruction_n be_v neglect_v in_o their_o young_a year_n indeed_o it_o be_v to_o be_v doubt_v that_o the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n with_o many_o be_v turn_v into_o a_o mere_a formality_n and_o the_o charge_n that_o be_v so_o solemn_o and_o particular_o undertake_v by_o godfather_n and_o godmother_n be_v never_o think_v of_o afterward_o to_o any_o purpose_n but_o many_o parent_n think_v that_o they_o do_v their_o duty_n sufficient_o if_o they_o bring_v up_o their_o child_n to_o some_o art_n or_o trade_n or_o provide_v portion_n and_o estate_n for_o they_o whereby_o they_o may_v be_v able_a to_o live_v in_o the_o world_n and_o godfather_n and_o godmother_n if_o they_o do_v but_o give_v they_o something_o as_o a_o token_n of_o their_o respect_n in_o some_o small_a gift_n but_o that_o they_o may_v be_v bring_v to_o lead_v a_o true_o christian_a life_n that_o they_o may_v deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n and_o live_v godly_a righteous_o and_o sober_o in_o this_o present_a evil_a world_n which_o be_v the_o great_a end_n of_o baptism_n ordinance_n gospel_n and_o life_n itself_o how_o little_a be_v that_o reflect_v upon_o by_o many_o as_o if_o it_o be_v none_o at_o all_o of_o their_o concern_v and_o duty_n a_o right_a practical_a improvement_n of_o our_o infant-baptism_n by_o

of_o infant-baptism_n than_o all_o the_o argument_n that_o can_v otherwise_o be_v bring_v for_o it_o though_o never_o so_o good_a which_o will_v seem_v all_o but_o noise_n and_o sound_n to_o many_o

show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o baptize_v by_o dip_v have_v dispatch_v the_o controversy_n of_o infant-baptism_n i_o shall_v here_o add_v a_o few_o word_n of_o the_o manner_n of_o administration_n of_o baptism_n and_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o baptism_n shall_v be_v administer_v by_o dip_v or_o plunge_v or_o dowze_a into_o the_o water_n if_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o baptism_n shall_v be_v always_o administer_v by_o dip_v this_o necessity_n must_v arise_v from_o the_o will_n and_o intention_n of_o our_o saviour_n some_o way_n declare_v to_o we_o in_o the_o institution_n of_o baptism_n or_o in_o the_o administration_n of_o it_o leave_v to_o we_o in_o scripture_n and_o there_o must_v be_v some_o notice_n or_o evidence_n by_o which_o this_o intention_n or_o will_n of_o our_o saviour_n may_v be_v make_v manifest_a to_o we_o from_o which_o we_o may_v necessary_o infer_v or_o conclude_v that_o this_o particular_a form_n of_o administration_n be_v determinate_o prescribe_v by_o he_o and_o this_o i_o think_v can_v be_v collect_v no_o otherwise_o but_o by_o one_o or_o other_o or_o all_o of_o these_o three_o way_n viz._n either_o from_o the_o use_n and_o signification_n of_o the_o word_n by_o which_o this_o ordinance_n be_v express_v or_o from_o the_o example_n of_o the_o administration_n of_o it_o that_o be_v leave_v we_o in_o scripture_n or_o from_o the_o nature_n and_o end_n of_o the_o ordinance_n itself_o and_o if_o it_o can_v be_v necessary_o infer_v from_o all_o or_o either_o of_o these_o consideration_n that_o it_o be_v our_o saviour_n will_n and_o intention_n that_o baptism_n shall_v always_o be_v administer_v by_o dip_v then_o i_o suppose_v it_o will_v be_v allow_v that_o dip_v be_v not_o essential_a to_o baptism_n now_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o prove_v that_o it_o can_v be_v necessary_o infer_v any_o of_o these_o way_n i._n not_o from_o the_o use_n or_o signification_n of_o the_o word_n baptise_v which_o be_v not_o use_v to_o signify_v dip_v but_o wash_v or_o cleanse_v by_o water_n which_o way_n soever_o it_o be_v for_o one_a it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o whenever_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n have_v occasion_n to_o mention_v the_o act_n of_o dip_v it_o be_v never_o express_v by_o this_o word_n that_o signify_v to_o baptise_v but_o by_o another_o 〈◊〉_d not_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o we_o have_v but_o four_o time_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n viz._n luk._n 16.24_o joh._n 13.26_o mat._n 26.23_o rev._n 19.13_o but_o whenever_o the_o act_n of_o baptise_v be_v express_v it_o be_v always_o express_v by_o another_o word_n 47._o j._n g_o be_v catabaptism_n p._n 47._o and_o not_o by_o that_o which_o be_v common_o use_v to_o express_v the_o act_n of_o dip_v from_o whence_o we_o may_v probable_o infer_v a_o difference_n in_o the_o signification_n not_o a_o sameness_n for_o if_o they_o be_v both_o of_o the_o same_o importance_n or_o signification_n it_o be_v most_o likely_a that_o they_o will_v be_v use_v promiscuous_o 2_o i_o say_v the_o word_n baptise_v or_o baptism_n be_v often_o use_v to_o signify_v any_o kind_n of_o wash_v or_o cleanse_v by_o water_n by_o the_o application_n of_o water_n any_o way_n to_o the_o thing_n and_o not_o only_o by_o dip_v of_o it_o into_o water_n which_o in_o some_o case_n be_v not_o customary_a nor_o likely_a as_o when_o it_o be_v say_v mark_v 7.4_o the_o pharisee_n eat_v not_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d except_o they_o wash_v in_o the_o greek_a it_o be_v except_o they_o be_v baptize_v and_o luke_n 11.38_o the_o pharisee_n marvel_v that_o our_o saviour_n have_v not_o first_o wash_v before_o dinner_n in_o the_o greek_a likewise_o it_o be_v that_o he_o be_v not_o first_o baptize_v now_o the_o manner_n of_o wash_v in_o that_o case_n seem_v usual_o to_o have_v be_v by_o aspersion_n of_o water_n on_o the_o hand_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v to_o express_v the_o office_n of_o a_o servant_n to_o his_o master_n 2_o king_n 3.11_o elisha_n pour_v water_n on_o the_o hand_n of_o elijah_n and_o the_o same_o word_n be_v use_v to_o express_v their_o frequent_a ceremonial_a wash_v of_o bed_n or_o table_n as_o likewise_o it_o be_v in_o that_o text_n mark_v 7.4_o in_o the_o original_a it_o be_v the_o baptism_n of_o these_o thing_n and_o it_o be_v no_o way_n likely_a that_o this_o shall_v be_v ordinary_o do_v by_o immersion_n or_o put_v they_o all_o into_o or_o under_o water_n but_o rather_o by_o pour_v water_n upon_o they_o and_o thereby_o to_o cleanse_v they_o and_o heb._n 9.10_o we_o read_v of_o divers_a wash_n that_o they_o have_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d in_o the_o greek_a divers_a baptism_n many_o of_o which_o be_v sprinkling_n therefore_o there_o can_v be_v no_o argument_n for_o dip_v etc._n etc._n solid_o ground_v upon_o the_o bare_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n baptise_v because_o that_o be_v use_v to_o signify_v any_o kind_n of_o wash_v without_o dip_v as_o well_o as_o by_o it_o 3_o it_o be_v sometime_o to_o be_v observe_v that_o the_o act_n of_o baptise_v be_v so_o express_v that_o it_o will_v be_v very_o uncouth_a and_o improper_a to_o understand_v it_o of_o dip_v as_o when_o it_o be_v express_v by_o baptise_v with_o water_n not_o by_o baptise_v into_o water_n or_o under_o water_n as_o luke_n 3.16_o i_o indeed_o baptize_v you_o with_o water_n and_o so_o act_v 11.16_o it_o will_v be_v very_o uncouth_a and_o improper_a to_o say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v dip_v with_o water_n 4thly_a again_o
