2. The Representation of this; that what was corporally done to Christ, should be spiritually fulfilled in us; and therefore some think, that the Apostle doth allude to that primitive Rite and Custom which was in baptizing; when the baptized party was first put under the water for a little season, which represented Christs burial, and our death to sin. 2. There was the emersion, or rising again out of the waters, which signified Christs Resurrection, and also our rising again to holiness and godliness.

This is the Sum of the Apostles discourse concerning Baptism in its sacramental signification, which he amplifieth further in my Text, and that as a reason, why we should not live to sin who were baptized into Christ, viz. Because our Old man is crucified with Christ; Both because Christ in being crucified did subdue thereby the dominion of sin, and also we are to do to the body of sin within us, what was done to Christs body, to crucify it, and thereby to destroy it. There is nothing more to be enquired into in the Text, but what is meant by our Old man?
