Item in Rom. 6. p. 59•, 597. [Resp. Praemissae sunt universaliter verae de Baptismo legitimo, qui est cum fide suscipitur Sacramentū: & de hoc u•ul quitur Apostolus; de baptizatis nimirum fidelibus: de his solis vera conclusio, omnes baptizatos regenerari.

Ad hanc obsignandum Deus dedit, & Abraham accepit Circumcisioni signum] I pass much of the like.
