Secondly, my Baptism was the Baptism of repentance: and shall I yet live in sin? My body was washed: and shall my soul ⟨p. 541⟩be still impure? Mat. 3. 11. Mark. 1. 4. Acts 13. 24.
Secondly, my Baptisme was the Baptisme of repentance: and shall I yet liue in sinne? My body was washed: and shall my soule ⟨p. 541⟩be still impure? Mat. 3. 11. Mark. 1. 4. Acts 13. 24.
Thirdly, by Baptism I was assured of the virtue of the death of Christ to kill sin in me: and shall I not believe the operation of God, that he can deliver me from the powerful temptations, or inclinations to any sin?
