Mat. 3.16. End Jesus gedoopt zijn de, is terstont opgeklomen vit hit wter. And when Jesus was dipped, he came out of the Water. And, vers. 6. End wierden van hemge doopt in de Jordan; And were dipped of him in Jordan. Hence they call John the Baptist, John the Dipper. In vers. 1. End in die dayen quam Jonnes de Dooper predikenn in de woeffijue van Judea: In English thus, In those days came John the Dipper, preaching in the Wilderness of Judea. Had our Translators translated the Greek word into our English Tongue, as the Dutch have done it into theirs, it would have been read in our Bible, John the Dipper; and for Baptizing them in the Name of the Father, &c. it would have been read, Dipping them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, and then the People would not have been deceived: but they have not translated the Greek word at all, but left it in its Original Language: What difference is there between Baptism, and the Greek Baptisma?
