2. That God receives all into the Covenant of Grace and Gospel Church, through the Spiritual washing of Regeneration and Sanctification of the Spirit; and that such only by Christ's positive Command ought to be baptized.
3. That there was no Gospel-Baptism, no Baptism of Christ under the Law, but that 'tis a pure positive Command and Institution of our Lord Jesus in the Gospel.
4. That God received none of his People under the Law into Covenant, through Baptism, or through sprinkling of Water and Blood: And that the sprinkling of Blood was a Figure of the Atonement of Christ's bloody Sacrifice, and the sprinkling of Water of the sanctifying Virtue of the Spirit in Sanctification, and not that Gospel-Baptism was signified thereby.
5. That 'tis only the mere positive Command of Christ in the New Testament, that gives being, and a just Right, to Gospel-Baptism.
