1That it should be a mark whereby the Church may be discerned from all other Nations and Sects. This end followeth on the former. For they who by a public Sacrament are received into the Church, are by the self-same discerned, and as by a badge distinguished from the remnant,2 the filth of the world. Go and teach all Nations, baptising them: as if he should say Gather me a Church by the word, and whom ye shall make my Disciples, believing with their whole heart, all them, and them alone baptize, and separate unto me.

1That it should be a signification, or an advertisement unto us of the cross, and of the preservation of the Church therein, and of the deliverance of the Church from it. For it signifieth that they who are baptized, are plunged as it were in affliction, but with assurance of escaping thence. Hence afflictions are termed by the name of Baptis. Are ye able to be baptized with the baptism that I shall be baptized with?
