AS for baptism, it is a sacrament, in the which the lord doth represent unto us our regeneration.¹ Whereof the baptism is as the seal, and as a visible testimony, whereby he testifieth unto us, first, that he receiveth us into his house, which is his Church, and that he doth avow us to be his children, and to be heirs of his kingdom.² After that he doth testify to us also that he hath purged and cleansed us from our sins, by the blood of his own Son, and that he hath regenerated us as new creatures, by his holy spirit, as the water, which is the sign of this holy sacrament, doth testify and represent in deed. For that representation is not vain, without the truth & true communication of the things spiritual, which it doth represent, towards those that be faithful, which have the instrument to receive them, to wit, faith, without the which we may have no communication with Jesus Christ.
