13 The Lords supper differeth from baptism, 1 In rite and manner of signifying, because the washing §1signifieth remission and cleansing of our sins,1 by the blood and spirit of Christ, and society of the afflictions and glorification of Christ. But the distribution of bread and wine, signifieth the death of Christ imputed unto us for remission of sins, and that we being now engrafted into Christ are become his members. 2 In special use, §2because baptism is a testimony of our regeneration, or covenant between God and us, and of our admission or being received into the church: but the Lords supper witnesseth, that we are perpetually to be nourished by Christ abiding in us, and that the covenant which we have once made with God shall ever endure steadfast, and that we shall for ever abide in the church and body of Christ. 3 By the persons to whom they must be §3ministered. Baptism is due to all which are to be accounted for members of the church, whether aged or infants: the Lords supper to them only which can understand and celebrate the benefits of Christ, and examine themselves. 4 In often use.
