JOI I prove that by your own confession. For ye say that baptism is the sign of the faithful.1 I prove besides, by the words of Peter, which Acts. x. Chapter speaketh after this manner. Who can forbid them to be baptized, that have received the holy ghost as well as we?

JOIA. In this place to receive the holy ghost, is too receive a witness that we are of god, which receiveth us, and that we are cleansed and purged by god.1 This may be proved by the x. xi. and .xv.

If they have the spirit of god, they are of God, and baptism is due unto them: as it is sufficiently proved by the old and new Testament.
