In some things Baptism doth not succeed in the place of Circumcision, in respect of Signification. For,
1. Circumcision did signify Christ to come of Isaac according to the Flesh, Gen. 10. 11. but Baptism doth not signify this, but points at his Incarnation, Death and Resurrection.
2. Circumcision was a Sign that the Israelites were a People separated from all Nations, Rom. 3. 1. but Baptism signifies, that all that believe, whether Jews or Gentiles, are one in Christ, Gal. 3. 28.
3. Circumcision signified, that Moses his Law was to be observed, Gal. 5. 3. but Baptism doth signify, that Moses his Law is abolished, and the Doctrine of Christ established.
