(9.) Circumcision belonged to Abraham's House, to his Male-Infants only, or such who were bought with his Money, and not the Male-Infants of any other Godly Men in his days, unless they join themselves to his Family; Baptism belongs to Believers in all Nations.
(10.) Circumcision bound those who came under that Rite to keep the whole Law of Moses; Baptism signifies we are delivered from that Yoke of Bondage.
(11.) If Circumcision signified the same things, and consequently, particularly the sealing the Covenant of Grace, then those that were circumcised needed not to be baptized, because sealed before with the same Seal, or that which signified the same thing; but Christ and all his Apostles, and many others, who were circumcised, were nevertheless baptized.
(12.) Circumcision signified the taking away the Sins of the Flesh, or the Circumcision of the Heart; but Baptism signifies the Death, Burial and Resurrection of Christ, which Circumcision did not.
