Where we have these words, But the Scribes and Pharisees and expounders of the Law despised the counsel of God against them selves, and were not Baptized of John. In which words thus much is plainly included, that it was Gods counsel and purpose in Johns Baptism, to bring them to Christ, and in him to Heaven; much more is it in the end of Christs Baptism which is more excellent than Johns was, not in substance but in the fullness of grace administered, and dispensed by it.1
THis is also the use and end for which the Sacraments were ordained, as we may see Luk. 7. 30. Where we have these wordes, But the Scribes and Pharisees and expounders of the Law despised the councell of God against them selves, and were not Baptized of Iohn. In which words thus much is plainly included, that it was Gods counsell and purpose in Iohns Baptisme, to bring them to Christ, and in him to Heaven; much more is it in the end of Christs Baptisme which is more excellent than Iohns was, not in substance but in the fulnesse of grace administred, and dispensed by it.1
