To Baptize In the name of Christ, is to Baptize according to the Order, Institution, & Commandment of Christ. Neither do these words, In the name of Christ, import that Baptism was ministered in the name of Christ only, & in none other name beside: no more then these words, Paul the servant of Jesus Christ, do import, that Paul was the Servant of Christ only, and so not the Servant of God the Father,1 nor of the Holy Ghost: Or these words, that Paul spake unto the keeper, Believe in the Lord Jesus, do discharge him from believing in the other two persons of the holy Trinity. Doubtless he must be very bold with the Scriptures of God, that will presume hereby to prove, either that the Apostles altered the essential form of Baptism, or that they proclaimed them Heretics, that in Baptizing would follow Christs Institution.
