If you do but mind the Testimonies I cited out of Mr. Cook and Mr. Baxter, and what you hinted your self as written to you in private, you cannot chuse but see word enough for our use of sprinkling, though dipping were used never so in the primitive times, for they tell you (but me thinks you do not much mind it) that the Scripture requires not totall washing, that Christ appoints not the measure of water nor manner of washing, more then the measure of bread and wine in the Supper, he hath left it ad libitum, and as they say very well, the whole vertue of the Sacrament lying in signification per ablutionem, it matters no more Quan∣tum quisque abluatur, then quantum quisque comedat, and as it is folly to think that men must eat in the Supper as long as head and stomach will hold, because it signifyes the souls refreshment, so that in ba••tism we must be washed all over, because it best signifies our burial with Christ: a little signifies as well as much, a clod of earth, a pepper corn, a little skin cut off in circumcision, so by a little bread and wine eat and drank, and by a little water sprinkled may the refresh∣ment of the soul be represented.
