You say, the Resemblance then between Baptism doth not stand in the dipping of the Body so much as in the End of the Ordinance, in making us Partakers of Christ's Death, of his Life, and of his Ascension, and of his sitting on the Right hand of God. Baptism makes us to be planted together in the Likeness of his Death; yet there are none, you say, that plants Bodies in Water by baptizing them, Rom. 6. 5.

Answ. We shall in our next Chapter finally determine this great Point, and plainly show you by manifest Arguments, together with the joint Consent and Agreement of a multitude of Learned Men, that were and are Pedo-baptists, that the Resemblance between Death, Burial and Resurrection, and Baptism, doth stand in the outward Sign of Dipping, as well as in our partaking of the Blessing of Christ's Death, Burial and Resurrection. All know in the Ordinance of the Lord's-Supper the Signs are significant, and no true Protestant will admit of such an Administration of it, in which the breaking of Christ's Body, and the shedding of his Blood is not clearly represented to the sight of our Eyes. Why is the Popish way of the Administration rejected, who deny the Laity the Cup, if there ought not to be an exact keeping to the direct Signs, as well as to bear in Mind the Thing signified thereby? Nay, Sir, I find you in your third Chapter to justify your sprinkling stiffly, by arguing for an Agreement between the Sign and the Thing signified, and that Baptism was not ordained to be a Sign or Symbol of the sprinkling Christ's Blood, but of his Death, Burial and Resurrection: It shall (God assisting) be further demonstrated.
