The baptism of Christ a Gospel ordinance

being altogether inward and spiritual: not, like John's, into water; but, according to the real nature of the Gospel, into the very name, life and power, of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. : Shewing that the Apostles' use of water baptism was by no means as an ordinance of Christ, but as the baptism of John; and that all who are baptized into Christ, have put on Christ, not only professionally, but substantially--that is, have put him on as the whole armour of light, and walk in him in newness of life.
