Remember what before of the present mention and premonition of those things were as in the Articles of the present Hebrew Creed, De justorum mercede, de poena iniquorum, &c. And compare the Christians antient and usual repetition of his Creed, by way of answer to such Interrogation, Dost thou believe in God the Father Almighty? &c. Of the Apostles times thus much is laid together by the Centurists: Ante Baptismatis impertitionem, quod quidem ad adultos attinet &c. Before any thing was done, they taught what Baptisme was, and why used, what the Doctrin of the Gospel and true faith in Christ. For John is said to have preached a Baptisme of repentance, Act. 3.24. The Apostles first taught of Christ, of repentance and Baptisme, and then, those that received the word by repenting and believing, they Baptized, Act. 2.38, 41. Nor would Philip admit the Samaritans, till they heard and received the Gospel, Act. 8.12. The Eunuch being well instructed of the Gospel and Faith in Christ, out of the Prophet, Esai 53. desires to be baptized. Philip conditions, if thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayst. He answers, I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, ver. 35, &c. Unde haud obscurè intelligitur baptizandos oportuisse fidei suae confessionem ante Baptismum edere. Whence is plain, that profession of faith went before admission to profession of it. Magdeburg. Centur. 1. lib. 2. cap. 6. Col. 382. Among those constitutions are said to have been St Peters, we have both instruction into the faith to be baptized into, God increate, Jesus the only begotten son of God, the Holy Ghost, Divine Providence, &c. to the last of Resurrection of the body and life everlasting, and personal assent testified by word, if not signed by the hand, Aggregor & credo & baptizor in unum & ingenitum meum verum Deum omnipotentem, patrem Christi, Creatorem & opificem omnium, ex quo Omnia: & in Dominum Jesum unigenitum filium ejus, primogenitum omnis creaturae, &c.

From which declaration of faith so often mentioned, so usually required, so commonly made, and in an orderly way never to be left out, the seal thereon was called NONLATINALPHABET, a rite of obsignation into the faith, by St. Basil. and in Tertullian, obsignatio Baptismi. lib. de Bapt. cap. 13. Nor may all this want foundation of Divine likely authority (if we take probable guesses and likely interpretations) much may be derived from the equity of Act. 8.37. (but an example, yet imitable) Dost thou believe? If thou dost, thou mayst; so he did and was. I thought thus, when (besides from the Centurists before) I had a stipulation from Beza, in his larger annotations on the place, G. Cassander, in one of his Treatises about the middle of his Works, pa. 752. Joseph. Vicecom. de ritibus Bapt. lib. 2. cap. 23. and he that so lately wrote from Rome, Joan. Bapt. Casalius, de veteribus Christianorum ritibus, cap. 5. pa. 35. No other might be that confession of hope, Heb. 10.22. made, it seems, when the body was washed in pure water. Cornel à Lapide, Estius, and Beza so understand, and the consequence of text favours and furthers; the very word of illightening or Baptisme (so expressed by the Syriack) follows soon after, In chap. 3.1. Christ is the Highpriest of our confession, him we then confessed, or the subject of the work, in chap. 6.1, 2. the Apostle eggs on himself with the loytering Synagogue, to leave speech of the beginning of Christ and make on, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, faith in God, (Dost thou believe in God, the Father, &c.) the Doctrin of Baptismes, imposition of hands, Resurrection of the dead, and eternall judgment ( which two last were the two last articles of the present Hebrews Creed, before pa. 18. whereon St Augustin, Haec omnia pertinere ad initia Neophytorum satis aperteque testatur scriptura, lib. de fide & operibus, cap. 11. And, what speech was this of the beginning of Christ? Sermonem inchoationis, vocat doctrinam quae tradi solet iis qui Christo initiantur: quae superius appellavit (cap. 5.12.) elementa exordii sermonum Christi: says Estius on the place. And both Beza and Cornelius a Lap. make the five following particulars so many heads of Christian Catechisme, whereof account was given and required before the Mystery: Respicit ad professionem symboli, quam faciebant baptizandi, so Estius again. Or, the Doctrin of Baptismes, may be a head to all the rest, which were so many branches of Doctrin, then delivered; the rather for that parenthesis with which those words in Luthers Edition of the Originall, are inclosed. Heed well the construction of the Greek. And (from Rabanus) the consequence and order of Matth. 28.19. Go, Teach and Baptize: and Matth. 16.16. He that believeth and is baptized. To all not unsutable may be added remembrance, that the Apostles Creed was wont to be called Symbolum, as the common watch-word wherein all believers in Christ were to agree. Quod signum in nostr. lingua vertitur vel Cognitio. Quando enim dividebantur Apostoli per totuma orbem praedicationis causa, dederunt illud praedicatori, ut siquis talia confiteretur qualia ibi dicuntur, cognitionem daret se à Christi Apostolis sive à successoribus eorum didicisse. Alchwin. in Epist ad Imperat. Carolum. col. 1153. which Ruffinus had more at large before: inter opera Hieron. tom. 9. Epist. 19. pa. 63. If so, this might be the larger form of words into which Baptisme was made; dilating upon that of Scripture more contracted, Matth. 28.19. Of great use for continuance, to maintain consent of Doctrin. |

Remember here again what before of the Proselytes sincere undertaking to fulfill the whole Law of Moses, pa. 18. or else no Matriculation into the S•nagogue; especially from Saint Paul, Every one Circumcised is bound to keep it intire, Gal. 5.3. and add thereto both what out of Oecumenius hereafter of the intimation (by being baptized into Moses, 1 Cor. 10.2.) of a Covenant to observe that Law, and what Mr. Selden has upon another occasion, — nec cooptatum quempiam, qui futuram legis Mosaicae observationem in se non reciperet: de Jure Nat. &c. lib. 7. cap. 12. And compare therewith that obligation to obey Laws Christian, and ingagement to all morall and holy strictness preimposed and conditioned, as well as after required and expected of all those came over to Jesus of Nazareth from the wilderness of this world by water and the Holy Ghost, In Heb. 6.1. Repentance from dead works is among the lower foundations, above which is required much exaltation, as before. The same Apostle having remembred, a Layer of Regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost, soon infers, those that have so believed in God, should (by a faithfull saying and worthy special remembrance) be carefull to maintain good works, and inforces it again, for necessary uses, and that they be not unfruitfull, Tit. 3.5, 8, 13. Our Saviours Canon is most considerable, Mat. 28.19, 20. Go, make Disciples Baptizing, &c, And teach them to observe all that I have commanded, in sincere performance, and an absolute integrity of all obedience, that no trifle be left out. Whereupon, to light it this way, thus Jo. Ferus, Nequis satis esse putet semel tinctum esse ac professum Evangelicam fidem, RURSUS DOCENDI SUNT quibus modis progredi possint ad perfectionem Evangelicae pietatis, Quasi dicat; A me nihil omissum est quod pertineat ad parandum salutem aeternam; Vestrum erit, nedum fidem docere, sed etiam vitam & mores informare. Nulla enim fides est quae opus Dei non habet, & adeò non prodest Baptismus, ut si non servemus quod notat Baptismus, id est, mortificationem carnis & innovationem vitae, vehementer etiam obsit. Comment. in Matth. lib. 4, pa. 302. and St Hierom, according to his wont, judiciously and gravely: The order is here much to be regarded, Jussit Apostolis ut primùm docerent universas gentes, deinde fidei intingerent sacramento, & post fidem ac Baptisma, quae essent observanda praeciperent. Ac ne putemus levia esse quae jussa sunt & pauca, addidit: Omnia quecunque mandari vobis.

Plini gives account to Trajan the Emperor of the Christians then so early meetings, Eos sc. se sacramento solenni obstringere solere, ne surta, ne latrocinia, ne adulteria committerent, ne fidem fallerent, ne depositum appellati abnegarent, Epist. lib. 10.

St Augustine doubts not the Eunuch was thus articled with, Act. 8. in lib. de fide & operibus, cap. 9. The Fathers have their works full of what fasting, prayer, and all the parts and works of holy penitence (see Act. 2.38.) were required to cleanse and prepare that vessel was to hold the holy water of Divine Baptisme, (the Renunciation afore was a part of that purification) which yet was not to be powred in neither, but with all possible obligation to keep it so, sc. to obey God in all his written Laws, and to follow the Lambe whith•rsoever he goeth.
