Matthew Poole and continuators on Romans 6:3

3. Know ye not , that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ , were baptized into his death ?

q. d. This is a Truth which you ought not to be ignorant of; and which Confirms what I say.

To be Baptiz'd into Christ, is either to be Baptiz'd in the Name of Christ, vid. Act. 10.48. and 19.5. Or else it is Incorporated, Ingraffed, or Planted into Christ; and so to be made Members of his Mystical Body by Baptism.

To be Baptized unto the death of Christ, is to have Fellowship with Him in his death, or to have the Efficacy of his death Sealed up to us; and that is the blessed Priviledge of as many as are Baptized, or Planted into Christ: They are not only Partakers of the Merit of his death for Justification, but of the Efficacy of his death for Mortification. See a Parallel place. Gal. 3.27.
