6thly. You say, Baptism, according to the Signification of the Word, is Washing; and therefore the Apostle saith, saved us by the washing of Regeneration, Tit. 3. 5. [Greek or Hebrew] is rendered, in Heb. 9. 10. in divers Baptisms, those were not only by dipping under Water, but by sprinkling Water on those baptized, as the Apostle teacheth Heb. 9. 19. he took the Blood of the Calves, and of Goats, with Water, and sprinkled the Book and all the People. That which the Apostle (you say) called Baptism in Ver. 10. is in this Verse called the Sprinkling of Water, &c.

Answ. 1. I answer, tho the Word [Greek or Hebrew], in a remote Sense, doth take in Washing• yet I challenge you and all that know (or pretend to know) the Greek Tongue, whether in every place in the New Testament where the Word is mentioned, or any Derivative from it, (as it refers to Christ's Ordinance of Baptism) it doth not directly and properly signify Immersion, and accordingly rendered by Beza in his Translation.
