The Holy Ordinances of Baptism, and the Lord's Supper, is another part of this blessed Pasture: And such are ill Sheep that will not feed where the Shepherd willeth them, or like not a Pasture of his choosing. With what gladness did those Saints at Jerusalem, ¹when they received the Word, yield themselves up to Holy Baptism? The Eunuch also found that Ordinance (he meeting with ²Christ in it) very sweet; and therefore when baptized, he went away rejoicing. The Mystery of the Gospel is preached or held forth in a lively Figure in Baptism to the very sight of the natural Eye; which being understood, conveys much Light and Knowledge to the Understanding.
