Therefore chapter 3. mortify your earthly members of sin, filthiness, uncleanness, noting that until our members be mortified and renewed, they are members of sin and uncleanness: Yea they are weapons of unrighteousness, which until they be purged¹ and cleansed, tend only to the hurt either of our selves or others.

1. 1Rom. 6.

Here then we may know that we are truly baptised and have the true circumcision of our Saviour CHRIST, if we daily labour more and more to cut off the members of sin in our selves, whereas if we continue in sin, and go on more and more in our sins after Baptism, then we may assure our selves, we have no part in CHRIST, and our Baptism is not profitable.
