- Baptism; It was used in the days of Jacob. p. 18. It was the way to admit Heathens into the Religion of the Jews; and by it John admitted the Jews into another Religion than their own, viz. the Gospel Religion. p. 208, 210, 408.

Believing gave admission to whole Housholds unto baptism. p. 294. Baptism not to be administered twice; none were rebaptized. p. 298, 299.

The difference of Baptism under the Law and under the Gospel. p. 455. Confession of sins was after, not before Baptism. p. 457. It was vastly differing from Circumcision, yet succeeded it, with the reasons of both. p. 465▪ &c. It was practiced among the Jews, even from the first use of Circumcision; proved from Scripture and Jewish Writers, p. 465. 466. 526, 527.

The Apostles were baptized by John the Baptist, not by Jesus; so that his Baptism and theirs were the same. p. 581. What the manner of the baptizing of the Jews was before John the Baptist came. p. 583, 584. How far the Baptist did imitate the Jews in their manner of baptizing. p. 584. Dipping in Baptism, not always practiced in the beginning of the Gospel. p. 584, 585. The term Baptism is used to denote sharp sufferings, yea Death itself. 250
