See Pools Annotations on the place, where you will find these words, viz. he seems to allude to the manner of Baptizing in those warm Countries, which was to Dip or plunge the party Baptised, and as it were to bury him for a while under water: See the like Phrase, Col. 2. 12.

Cajetan upon the place says we are buried with Christ by Baptism into death; by the ceremony of Baptism, because he (that is, the party Baptized) is put under Water, and by this carries a similitude of him that was buried who was put under the Earth. Now because none are buried but dead Men, from this very thing that we are buried in Baptism we are assimilated to Christ buried, and when he was buried.
