This is gathered from verse 21. It is called the Antitype of that water, not because the water was the type of Baptism, and Baptism the exemplar of it, but because there is a typical representative similitude betwixt these two waters. And the similitude consists herein, that as the water of the flood lifted up the Ark and saved Noah and his family in the destruction of the rest, so baptism strengthening our faith, and lifting up our souls unto God reconciled in Christ, saves us in the mortification of our sins.
