Howe therefore doest thou define baptisme taken for the first Sacramēt of the Church of Christ?
Answer. I define it to be an holy action commanded of Christ to the Church, in which by a fit proportion of signs, we do spiritually and through Faith after a certain sort put on Christ himself, with all his gifts necessary to salvation, and are therein washed with him, ⟨image 77⟩and dye with him, are buried and rise again, and by which our mutual fellowship in Christ is ratified.
