Which are proper?
Answer. Those be proper, which distinctly attribute ⟨image 68⟩that too the sign, which belongeth to the sign, and that to the thing, which belongeth to the thing: as when Circumcision is called the sign of the covenant. Gen. 17. 11. Also the sign and seal of the righteousness of faith. Ro. 4. 11. And the blood of the Lamb, the sign. Exo. 12. 13. And the sabbath, the sign of calling too memory the creation of the world: & sealing the peculiar consecration of the people of Israel. Exod. 31. 13. 17. And those same two censures, a sign calling into their remembrance that same conspiracy of Dathan & Abiron. Num. 16 38. So the outward ministry of man, considered a part from the inward, is said to be nothing. 1. Cor. 3. 7. So the outward baptism of water, is properly distinguished from the inward efficacy of the spirit. 1. Pet. 3. 21.
