And we believe, that unto the making of the whole sacrament of Baptism, those two things are sufficient which Christ instituted, namely, the simple element of water, wherewith the parties are washed, either by dipping in, or by sprinkling upon: and that form of words, wherewith Christ taught them to baptize, that is, In the name of the father, the son, and the holy ghost: nether did the Apostles as we are persuaded, use any form of words, or added any thing else unto the water.

And we beleeue, that vnto the making of the whole sacrament of Baptisme, those two thinges are sufficient which Christ instituted, namely, the simple element of water, wherewith the parties are washed, either by dipping in, or by sprinkling vpon: and that forme of words, wherewith Christ taught them to baptize, that is, In the name of the father, the sonne, and the holy ghost: nether did the Apostles as we are perswaded, vse any forme of words, or added any thing else vnto the water.
