Dr. Nicholson, late Lord Bishop of Glocester.

In his Exposition of the Church-Catechism, saith, in pag. 174. And the ancient manner in Baptism, the putting the Person Baptized under the Water, and then taking him out again did well set out these two Acts, the first his dying, the second his rising again. And in the same Page, upon Col. 2. 12. he saith, Into the Grave with Christ we went not, for our Bodies were not, could not be buried with his; but in our Baptism, by a kind of Analogy or Resemblance, while our Bodies are under the Water, we may be said to be buried with him.
