The eight and last point follows, concerning the use of baptism. And first of all, our baptism must put us in mind, that we are admitted and received into the family of God: and §10consequently, that we must carry our selves as the servants of God. And that we may do so indeed, we must divide our lives into two parts, the life past, and life to come. Touching the life that is past, we must perform three things. The first is Examination, whereby we must call our selves to an account §15for all our sins, even from the cradle: the second is Confession, whereby we must with sorrowful hearts bewail and acknowledge the same sins, in the presence of God, accusing and condemning our selves for them. The third is Deprecation, §20whereby we are to entreat the Lord, in the name of Christ, and that most instantly from day to day till we receive a comfortable answer, in the peace of conscience, and joy of the H▪ Ghost.
