We confess aonly two to be common to the whole Church: of which the first (which is Baptism) is given to us for witness of our adoption, for that thereby we are grafted into ⟨p. 111⟩the body of Jesus Christ, to the end to be washed and cleansed, through his blood, and after renewed in holiness of life, through his holy spirit. bWe also hold, that although we be Baptised but ones, that the profit, which there is signified unto us, extendeth to life, and death, to the end that we may have an everlasting mark, that Jesus Christ will always remain our righteousness, and sanctification. And although it be a Sacrament of saith and repentance, cnevertheless, because God receiveth into his Church, the children with their fathers, we say, that by the authority of Jesus Christ, young children begotten of faithful parents, ought to be Baptised.
Wee confesse aonely twoo to be cō mon to the whole Churche: of whiche the firste (whiche is Baptisme) is geuen to vs for witnesse of our adoption, for that thereby we are graffed into ⟨p. 111⟩the bodie of Iesus Christ, to thende to bee wasshed and clensed, throughe his bloude, and after renewed in holinesse of life, through his holie spirite.
