61. In this Law or Covenant is made a free universal Deed of Gift of Christ first, and of Pardon, Spirit and Glory in and by him to all Mankind without exception, who will believingly accept it in its true nature, as it is offered therein; Or [If they will so accept it as Believers.]
62. This Covenant is to be preached by Christ's Ministers, and men invited to believe and consent: And all that so do, are to profess that consent by a solemn Covenant in their Baptism, and so to give up themselves devotedly to God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; renouncing the Devil, Flesh and World.
63. For Faith in God the Father is as essential a part of that Faith which we must profess in Baptism, and is called commonly justifying, as Faith in Christ is: And so is Faith in the Holy Ghost in its place. For it is not possible to believe in Christ, without believing first in God, to whom he is the way, and with whom he is our Mediator; nor to believe in him fully as Christ, unless we believe in him, as giving us the sanctifying Spirit.
