Certain disputations of right to sacraments, and the true nature of visible Christianity defending…

Rom. 6.33 &c. [How shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by Baptism into death, that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also should walk in newness of Life. For if we have been planted together into the likeness of his Death, we shall be also in the likeness of his Resurrection. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that hence forth we should not serve sin; for he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. — Likewise, reckon ye ⟨p. 112⟩also your selves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Here is a full Report of the use of Baptism and the Profession of all that are Baptized, and the state that they are supposed to be in: so that I cannot speak it plainlier than the words themselves do. Calv. on the Text saith, [Extra Controversiam est induere nos Christum in Baptismo, & hâc lege nos baptizari, ut unum cum ipso simus. — Imò docet hanc mortis societatem praecipuè in Baptismo spectandam esse. Neque enim ablutio sola illic, sed mortificatio quoque & veteris hominis interitus proponitur: Unde palàm fit, ex quo recipimur in Christi gratiam, mortis ejus efficaciam statim emergere. Porro quid valeat hae cum morte Christi societas, continuo sequitur; — ut scilicet nobis emortui si amus novi homines: Nam à mortis societate transitum merito facit ad vitae participationem: quia haec duo inter se individuo nexu cohaerent, veterem hominem Christi morte aboleri, ut ejus resurrectio justitiam instauret, nosque efficiat novas creaturas. — Haec autem est Doctrina; Quod Mors Christi efficax est ad nequitiam carnis nostrae extinguendam ac prostigandam: Resurrectio vero ad suscitandam melioris naturae novitatem: quódque per Baptismum in istius gratiae participationem cooptamur. — In summa; Qualis sit Baptismi ritè suscepti veritas docet.
