Baptism, ¹first is a sacrament of the new covenant: wherewith all men which either having professed true repentance of their fins, do also profess faith in Jesus Christ, and so ⟨p. 116⟩in God the father, ²the son, and the holy ghost, or at least, are believed to appertain unto the covenant, ³through the faith of their parents: but especially they, which truly do belong unto the covenant, as being now incorporated into Christ are sealed by him; that they should be no longer their own men, but his, by whom they are called into the society of the covenant, and consequently into one body with him and all the Saints, and into participation of all spiritual & heavenly good things: ⁴and are cleansed by this Baptism, as the water of regeneration, from all their sins, by virtue of Christs blood: and buried into the death with Christ: that as he rose from death by the favour of the Father, so we should walk in newness of life: whereupon it hath bin usually called the sacrament of repentance for the remission of sins, the sacrament of faith, the seal of the covenant, the water of regeneration, the washing away of sins, the sacrament of new life.
