And although that this sacrament be ordained to that end, it followeth not for all that, that we must think, that the little children which dye by the will of God, before they can receive this outward Baptism, be in any danger of their salvation, only for want of this baptism, forasmuch as it happeneth not through contempt of this holy Sacrament. For their salvation,¹ nor that of any man whatsoever, is not tied to the visible signs of baptism, nor of the Supper, but dependeth of the only election and grace of God, by mean of the benefit of Jesus Christ, and of the virtue of his holy spirit: and then he communicateth this benefit to his elect, in such time, and by such means as please him, and worketh in them at all times,² according to his good pleasure. For he may sanctify them even in their mothers belly, as he hath done many, whereof we have apparent witness in the holy Scriptures.

For their saluation,¹ nor that of any man whatsoeuer, is not tyed to the visible signes of baptisme, nor of the Supper, but dependeth of the onely election and grace of God, by meane of the benefite of Iesus Chryst, and of the vertue of his holie spirite: and then he communicateth this benefite to his electe, in suche tyme, and by suche meanes as please him, and worketh in them at all tymes,
