144. Question.
Should not Baptism then be true baptism, unless the pure word of the institution were used?

Answer. ⟨image 102⟩No verily, it could not be. For the form giveth every thing his essence or being.
Answeare. ⟨image 102⟩No verily, it coulde not be. For the forme geueth euery thing his essence or beyng.
Question. But if the fault in the form as thou sayest be so great, that it defile the thing it self: doeth not a fault in the very explication of baptism it self do it much more, in which thou art not ignorant how grievously the Papists offend.
