2dly. You greatly wrong that Text, Heb. 9. 19. where the Apostle speaks of sprinkling the Blood of Calves, and of Goats with Water, &c. by saying he refers to Ver. 10. where the Apostle speaks of Divers Washings; and in thus doing, you do not only abuse the Sacred Text, but you wrong your own Soul and Conscience, and the People also. Sir, do you find the Greek Word [Greek or Hebrew] (which is in ver. 10.) in ver. 19. where sprinkling is mentioned? or is it not in ver. 13, 19. as also 1 Pet. 1. 2. [Greek or Hebrew]? We may modestly affirm that no Greek Author, whether Heathenish or Christian, has ever put Baptizing for Sprinkling, or used those Words promiscuously; for as in these Scriptures you have cited, Heb. 9. 13, 19, 21. 'tis always translated Sprinkling, so there is not one place in Scripture ⟨p. 3⟩wherein the Word [Greek or Hebrew] is rendered Baptism, nor is there one Scripture where [Greek or Hebrew] is rendered Sprinkling. And therefore, tho sometimes the Greek Word doth signify in a remote Sense, Washing, yet 'tis primarily such a washing as is by dipping or plunging, as I said before: And thus Mr. Wilson, in his Dictionary, renders [Greek or Hebrew] a [Greek or Hebrew], tingo, &c. to dip or plunge into the Water; and signifies, saith he, primarily such a washing as is used in Bucks, where Linen is plunged or dipped; tho in a remote Sense, he hints, it signifies other kind of washing; but it does not so in the Holy Scripture where the Word is used, as referring to Christ's Ordinance of Baptizing.
