BAptisme is the first Sacrament of the new Testament or couenant of grace,
wherein according to Christs a 1.1 institution the Christian is dipped in water or sprink∣led with water, by the Minister of the Church, to represent the shedding of the bloud of Christ vpon the Crosse, and to testifie to him, that the remission of sinsis purchased for him by the bloud of Christ, and to seale his regeneration by the holy Ghost, which grace is purchased also fot the elect, by the bloud of Iesus Christ: and lastly to seale his communion and felow∣ship with Christ in the kingdome of hea∣uen: and so in like manner the Baptised makes publique profession, that his harts desire is to be one of the people and Church of God.
Mat. 28.19
