The putting into, or the sprinkling of water, doth ratify I. the shedding of the blood of Christ for the remission of all our sins, and the imputation of his righteousness. Act. 22.16. Arise and be baptized, and wash away thy si•nes in calling on the name of the Lord. 1. Cor. 6. 11. And such were some of you, but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, ⟨p. 110⟩and by the spirit of our God. II. The mortification of sin by the power of Christs death. Rom. 6.3. Know ye not that all we which have been baptized into Jesus Christ have been baptized into his death? 6. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin: for he that is dead is freed from sin.
