Son. Why Sir, I understand that our Blessed Saviour in Ordaining those two great Ordinances, viz. Baptism and breaking of Bread, did design in a Gracious manner, to Preach the Gospel to the Sense of Seeing, as in Ministry of the Word, its preached to the Ear and Sense of Hearing; For, as breaking of Bread & the Cup hold forth to our sight▪ Christs Body was broken, and his Blood shed, So Baptism shows, as I have observed, He was not only Dead, but also Buried, and did rise again, that so we might the more clearly and fully be Confirmed into the Mystery of his Death and Resurrection.
