Our late Annotators on the place say thus, He seems to allude to the manner of baptizing in those warm Countries, which was, say they, to dip or plunge the Party baptized, and as it were to bury him for a while under Water. Cajetan upon the same Text says, We are buried with Christ by Baptism unto Death; by our burying he declares our Death by the Ceremony of Baptism, because he (that is, the Party baptized) is put under Water; and by this carries a Similitude of him that was ⟨p. 30⟩buried, who was put under the Earth. Now because none are buried but dead Men, from this very thing that we are buried in Baptism, we are assimilated to Christ buried, or when he was buried.

Tilenus, a great Protestant Writer, speaks fully in this case: Baptism, saith he, is the first Sacrament of the New Testament instituted by Christ, in which there is an exact Analogy between the Sign and the Thing signified. The outward Rite in Baptism is threefold.
