(2.) The second Typical Baptism was that of Noah's Ark: See Sir Norton Knatchbull, whom I quoted before, saith he, Noah's Ark and Baptism were both a Type and Figure of the Resurrection, not a Sign of the washing away of Sin, tho so taken metonymically, but a particular Signal of the Resurrection of Christ. Of this again, saith he, is Baptism a lively and emphatical Figure, as also was the Ark of Noah, out of which he returned, as from a Sepulchre. From hence I infer this Argument following.
