1. The way and manner of the dispensing of this Ordinance, the Scripture holds out to be dipping or plunging the whole body under water: it being a signe, must answer the thing signified, which are these: first, thea* washing the whole soule in the bloud of Christ: Secondly, that interest the Saints have in theb death, buriall, and resurrection; thirdly, together with ac confirmation of our faith, that as certainly as the body is buried under water, and riseth againe, so certainly shall the bodies of the Saints be raised by the power of Christ, in the day of the resurrection, to reigne with Christ.d

Notes

  1. *The word Baptizo, signifying to dip under water, yet so as with convenient garments both upon the administrator and subject, with all modestie.
