In showing the Signification of the Word Baptism, we will with all Impartiality give the Judgment of the Learned. The Word is Greek, and we are to seek its meaning from the Learned in that Tongue, of whose Writings we have carefully examined the most noted, some of which are, Scapula, and Stephanus, Pasor, Minshew, and Liegh's Critica sacra; Grotius, Vossius, Causabon, Selden, Mr. Daniel Rogers, Mede, Chamier, Dr. Taylor, Dr. Hammond, Dr. Cave, Hesychius, Budaeus, Beza, Erasmus, Buchanan, Luther, Illyricus, Zanchy, Glassius, &c. who with all the Learned of any note, that are impartial, agree with one Voice, That the primary, proper, and literal Signification of [Greek or Hebrew], Baptiso, is, Margo, immergo, submergo, obruo, item tingo, quod fit immergendo; that is, to drown, immerge, plunge under, overwhelm, as also to dip, which is done by plunging. And 'tis certain the Ancients so understood it, as appears by their constant Practice of dipping such as were baptized; as Tertullian says of his Trine-Immersion, Ter mergitamur, that is, thrice are we dipped. And that the Change of the Rite to Aspersion, or Sprinkling, was invented to accommodate the tender Bodies of Infants, in these Northern Parts, when the Practice of baptizing them prevailed, is ingenuously confessed by Vossius, and most of the Learned.
