Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
The Learned Cajetan upon Mat. 3. 5. saith, Christ ascended out of the Water, therefore Christ was baptized by John, not by sprinkling or pouring Water upon him, but by Immersion, that is, by dipping or Plunging into the Water.
Moreover, Musculus on Mat. 3. calls Baptism dipping, and says the Parties baptized were dipped, not sprinkled.
To close with this, take one Argument.
If the Baptizer and the Baptized in the days of Christ and his Apostles, went both down into the Water, and the Person baptized was dipped, then is Baptism not Sprinkling but Dipping.
