And this in ancient Times was taught every Christian (saith he) in and by his Baptism: Whenever a Person was baptized, he was not only to profess his Faith in Christ's Death and Resurrection, but he was also to look upon himself as obliged in Correspondence therewith, to mortify his former carnal Affections, and to enter upon a new State of Life. And the very form of Baptism (saith he) did lively represent this Obligation to them: For what did their being plunged under Water signify, but their undertaking in Imitation of Christ's Death and Burial, to forsake all their former evil Courses? as their ascending out of the Water did their Engagement to lead a holy, spiritual Life. This our Apostle doth more than once declare to us: thus Rom. 6. 3, 4. We are buried (saith he) with Christ by Baptism unto Death, that like as Christ was raised up by the Glory of the Father, so we should walk in Newness of Life.
