In Baptism, dost thou believe, saith the Minister, in God the Father Almighty? I do believe, that was the answer: dost thou believe in God the Son? I do believe: dost thou believe the Forgiveness of sins, the Resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting? I do believe; dost thou renounce the Devil, and his works? I renounce them; that is the answer of a good conscience; where that is from the heart, there God hath ⟨p. 166⟩spoken to that heart before, and there is obedience to purpose; Thy face will I seek, it is that that brings comfort, not the washing of the water, it is not the eating of the bread, and drinking the wine, and hearing the word of God, when there is not the answer of a good conscience; when we say we believe, and we will do this, to do it indeed, Lord I will believe, I will go out of the Church with a purpose to practise what I hear. Here is the answer of a good conscience, when we mingle what we hear with faith, and labour to practise it, or else it will do no good.
In Baptisme, dost thou beleeve, saith the Minister, in God the Father Almighty? I doe beleeve, that was the answer: dost thou beleeve in God the Son? I doe beleeve: dost thou beleeve the Forgivenesse of sins, the Resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting? I doe beleeve; dost thou renounce the Devill, and his workes? I renounce them; that is the answer of a good conscience; where that is from the heart, there God hath ⟨p. 166⟩spoken to that heart before, and there is obedience to purpose; Thy face will I seeke, it is that that brings comfort, not the washing of the water, it is not the eating of the bread, and drinking the wine, and hearing the word of God, when there is not the answer of a good conscience; when we say we beleeve, and we will doe this, to doe it indeed, Lord I will beleeve, I will goe out of the Church with a purpose to practise what I heare. Here is the answer of a good conscience, when wee mingle what we heare with faith, and labour to practise it, or else it will doe no good.
