Somme man will say, Children, or Infants believe nothing, but are utterly void of Faith. S. Augustine answereth, 1Qui non crediderit, condemnabitur. Sicut eos renasci per Ministerium Baptizantium, ita etiam eos credere per corda, & ora confitentium confitemur: He that believeth not, shall be damned. We confess, that as they be borne again by the Ministry of the Baptizers, so they believe by the hearts, and mouths of the Confessors. 2Again he saith, Habent Fidem, propter Fidei Sacramentum: Theie have Faith, because they have (Baptism, which is) the Sacrament of Faith. For he saith, Quemadmodum Sacramentum Corporis Christi secundum quendam modum Corpus Christi est, ita Sacramentum Fidei Fides est: As the Sacrament of Christs Body, (not verily, and in deed, but) after a certain manner of speech is Christs Body: So Baptism is Faith, because it is the Sacrament of Faith. Therefore Cardinal Caietane is worthily blamed by Catharinus,3 in that he saith, An Infant for that he wanteth instruction in Faith, therefore hath not perfect Baptism.
