Suitable to what we here Write, Henry Lawrence Esq A very Judicious and Learned Writer expresses himself, in his Book of Baptism, pag. 368. chap. 17. thus, that there is an order in the Worship of the New Testament: (says he) 'No Man will deny that hath Learned with Paul, To join beholding the Order and Faith of Saints, Coll. 2.5. And now ⟨p. 113⟩will acknowledge this more then they who deny themselves of some very considerable Ordinances for want of coming to them in the right order, as the Lords Supper for want of Church-Fellowship: every thing is seasonable and beautiful in its time, out of which it is disorderly and evil, To find the Order and Time of Baptism will I conceive be the easiest thing in all this Inquiry, whether you consider Scripture Rule, Scripture Example, or Example of the Primitive Church, or indeed of all that ever was, or the reason of things; For Scripture Rule you have Matth. 28.19. Make Disciples and Baptise. Mark 16.16. He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved. You see here the Rank of Baptism, immediately after Teaching, after Believing, it holds the first place of Ordinances properly Christian, you may ⟨p. 114⟩see it again in the Rule of Peters Preaching, Acts 2.38.
