1. That the way and manner of the dispensing this ordinance, is dipping or plunging the body under water; it being a signe, must answer the things signified, which is, that interest the Saints have in thea* death, burial, and resurrection of Christ: And that as certainly as the body is buried under water, and risen again, so certainly shall the bodies of the Saints bee raised by the power of Christ, in the day of the resurrection, to reigne with Christ.b

Notes

  1. *Mark 1. 5. vers. 9. reads [into Iordan] in Greek. The word Baptizo signifies to dip or plunge, (yet so as convenient garments be both upon the Administrator and subject with all modesty.)
