Take his Words again on Levit. 11. 32. All that are unclean, whether Men or Vessels, are not cleansed but by dipping or baptizing in Water; and wheresoever the Law speaketh of washing a Man's Flesh, or washing of Clothes for Uncleanness, it is by dipping the whole Body therein: and whether they be Men or Vessels, there may not be any thing between them and the Water, to keep them asunder, as Clay, Pitch, or the like, that cleaveth to the Body or Vessel; if there be, then they are, saith he, unclean, and their washing profiteth them not. Maim Mikvaoth, chap. 1. § 12, 21.
