Touching the name; Baptism is taken six ways. First, it signifies the superstitious washings of the Pharisees, who bound themselves to the baptisms or washings of cups and pots. Mar. 7. 4. Second[…], it signifies the washings appointed by God ⟨p. 244⟩in the Ceremonial law. Hebr. 9. 10. Thirdly, it signifies that washing by water which serves to seal the covenant of the new Testament. Math. 28. 19. Fourthly, it signifies by a metaphor, any grievous cross or calamity. Thus the passion of Christ, is called his baptism.
