Circumcision therefore cannot be meant God's Ordinance of Baptism but sheweth the great Care God had of his Church that as he fed them miraculously and gave them Water out of a Rock in the Wilderness Baptism signifieth properly plunging in Water or washing by dipping Dr. Taylor 's Rule of Conscience so he did not leave them in the Red Sea but incompass'd them about by his Divine Providence with Water and the Cloud as Persons are encompassed with that Element when Baptized Hence in the 6th place Baptism is explained by the Metaphor of a Garment which the Apostle refers unto when he calls Baptism a putting on Christ Gal. 3.27 As the Servant by his Lord's Livery declares whose he is so the long white Robe of Baptism sheweth us to be the Servants of the Lord Jesus 7. Baptism is not only called a Washing by Ananias and Peter Acts 22.16 1 Pet. 3.21 Tit. 3.5 but the washing of the Soul in Regeneration is held forth in this Symbol and Sign Austin and Paulinus in the 7th Century in England Baptized great Multitudes in the River Trent and Swale Hence saith Mr. Fox there was no use of Fonts then Fox's Acts and Monuments 9 Edit Vol. 1. p. 132. by the Apostle Paul when he speaks of the washing of Regeneration unto Titus Now we know every Faculty of the Soul is washed in the Blood of Christ and every Faculty sanctified by the Holy Spirit not a part of the Faculties but all the Faculties therefore wisely set forth by Baptism wherein not only a part but the whole Body is wash'd and cleansed in Water 8. This is further cleared from the practice of the most pure Apostolick Times 'T is said of our most blessed Lord Jesus That he went up out of the Water Mat. 3.15 16 17. which in common sense signifies He first went down not only to the Water but into the Water and came up out of the Water Of Philip and the Eunuch 't is said Acts 8.36 40. They went down both not only to the Water but into the Water and came up out of the Water if Sprinkling would have done they need only go to and come from it but they knew the Commission could not be answered unless they went down into the Water The Minister is to dip in Water as the meetest Act the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 notes it Rogers on the Sacrament Thus you see the Places where the Apostles Baptized were in Rivers and where was much Water You see their Act and Posture they went down into the Water you see their End was to exhibit and shew forth Christ's Death Burial and Resurection If any should ask Why Sprinkling will not do as well as Dipping I answer 1. Because that is another thing than Christ hath commanded and 't is high presumption to change God's Ordinances Isa 24.5 Tho there was no more virtue in the Waters of Jordan than of Damascus yet Naaman must keep to God's Appointment 2. In so doing we lose the End of the Ordinance which as aforesaid is to shew forth the Death and Resurrection of Christ 3. We must keep the Ordinances as they were delivered unto us 1 Cor. 11.2 'T is a known Maxim to practise any thing in the Worship of God as an Ordinance of his without an Institution ought to be esteemed Will-worship Idolatry And that there is a necessity for Scripture-Authority to warrant every Ordinance and Practice in Divine Worship is owned by Luther Austin Calvin Basil Theoph. Tertul Mr. Ball and in the 6th Article of the Church of England also Bellarmine as Moses was to make all things according to the Pattern shewed him in the Mount. 4. God is a Jealous God and stands upon small things in Matters of Worship Had Moses and Aaron but lifted up a Tool upon the Altar of ruff Stone to beautify it they would have polluted it because contrary to the Command 5. This hath no likeness to the holy Examples of Christ and his Apostles CHAP. IV. Shewing that professing Believers and them only are the proper Subjects of Baptism Which I demonstrate FIrst From Gospel-Precept Our Text saith He that believeth and is baptized Erasmus saith 'T is no where in the Apostles Writings Infants were baptized The parallel Text Mat. 28. is worthy of consideration by way of Division The Commission is Go the Subjects spoken to are his Apostles the Matter of it is to teach and baptize the Extent of it is into all the World not only in hot Countries but in Cold.

Many starved and died in Prison The Duke of Newburgh Anno 1653. banished all the Anabaptists out of his Country who thereupon disperse themselves into the Dukedom of Cleave and Brandenburgh An Abstract of the bloody Edict of the Emperor Charles the 5th of Spain made June 1535. against the Anabaptists or Waldensian Christians and the execution thereof in the Seventeen Provinces viz.
