Concerning Baptism.

THere is one Baptism effectual to salvation accord∣ing to Ephes. 4.5. 1 Epistle of Peter 3.21. Of which, Water-Baptism is an Figure: And this is the Baptism of Christ which is with the holy Ghost, and with fire, which both Moses's Baptism and Johns's Bap∣tism figured forth, and they both pointed at Christ. For saith Moses, Deuteronomy 18.15. The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet like unto me, unto him shall ye hearken. And saith John, I indeed paptize you with water unto Repeatance, but he that cometh after me he shall baptize you with the holy Ghost and with fire, whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his Wheat into his garner, but will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire: And this is the Baptism which is in the name of the Father, Son and holy Ghost; and they who come to this Baptism, they know the fan in the hand, and the purging of the floor, and the gathering of the wheat into the garner, and the burning of the chaff, and the old man plunged in∣to death, and the new man raised unto life, which is the summe and substance of all; and the substance be∣ing come, the shadows fly away. And saith the Apo∣stle, By one spirit are we all baptized into one body, 1 Cor. 12.13.
